Database Develop

So, where do you guys learn all this stuff?

So, I'm pretty curious. I've not been on this forum that long but what all you guys do is simply amazing. How/where did you guys learn all this ROM making, porting, linux development and things?
I'm off to Uni next year and I'd like to study programming. So could you give me a little insight to how you guys got started?
Thanks

That's good to hear. So how did you get started. Reading documents/books etc? Help from other people?

I would also like some insight on this topic.

Also good luck in programming. I have it now. Intro to pseudocode and in a few weeks we're starting java. It's boring as hell, but the exams are easy. So far I'm a straight A in that class. lol

Well a good place to start looking is the Chef Central
There are plenty of guides there, and that is where I started.

Linux/Penguin Avatars

Not sure if anyone will want this. Just throwing it out there. I love using the Linux Penguin as my avatar and I've found zip with over 900+ of them. Various costumes, positions, etc. Feel free to use them, or bash me for posting.

how to create a forum just like this?

hi guys, I really love XDA, im on it all the time, But i wanted to make my own forum just like this, except its focused on just 1 phone, Is there any possible way to create a forum the same as this and excellent as this one?
If so, Can you give me a step-by-step walkthrough? Cheers (P.S, like i said, exactly (nearly) like this, so i can recruit mods,etc, mysql, php etc, anything, as long as its like this forum/website)
cheers,
wilbso

This should get you started: http://bit.ly/xYjjc5

well there are lots of free websites that allows you to create forums which you can manage as you like or create one on your own with phpbb, vb etc with your domain. If its a forum, you can assign mods, database or just anything else.

Well then you have to find oue, and make it do what you want. Most forums are based on phpBB or vBulletin. I think XDA is vBulletin.

Simple. I've made a forum before.
Buy vBulletin or another forum software. Get yourself some hosting, according to the specs. Install the forum on the server using the manual. Then just start tweaking the settings and get it noticed.

OMG thanks dude, i have just created my forum, check here for my new forum about the xperia x8 and more
the main forum, which is focused on the xperia x8, is called xperiance,

Hello !
Well... Good ! But I guess you can do much better with a Forumotion's free forum !
It's the best free forum hoster, which offers a lot of possibilities. You need to try !

May be worth considering whether or not the forum you go with is supported by Tapatalk. There's a list of forums they support on their site...

I beleive the recipe is 2 parts vBulletin, 2 parts contributing users and 8 parts trolls....
Mix well and leave to simmer for 9 years....
Good luck.

Of course it did. Forums needs users and by only focusing on ONE device, the forum becomes a ghost town when a new version gets released. Its not a sustainable model at all.

Yes. I did put specific wording in many different places so that if I see something claiming uls and a free....and ICS theme...I decompile their app and find my many easter eggs. I found all of them in this app. Anyone can change splash screens...and PNG files...and XML but most people don't know smali...and there are lots of files and lines I only know what I put there.
I don't really know why people do it but I've stated before I don't care if people theme it...but if the app I moddedd is used as the foundation for your themed one...a simple credit to yakitori is all I asked for.
ive been doing this since version 1.5.6 which is wayyyy old.
johnc60 has been helping with the app as well..over on DF.net
Also...on that note...I have been out of theming for a while..but Im trying to get my feet wet again. support for this app continues on DF where it originated. The current app can be found there. 1.7. I skipped 1.6 because it was basically a segway to a complete UI overhaul...I didnt want to bother with it as it was a temporary update (i guess you could call it that).

Bootanimation Thread Epic 4g

Was wanting to see if we could start a bootanimation Thread that only has bootanimation. So here you go, I personally do not have a boot to post but was hoping this would make things easier for people.
Please give credit to those that made it. if you are just posting here for others... i also can not post links yet so. please help fill the thread

That is funny I was literally thinking about starting this thread earlier today. The one I am currently using is the high def droid peeing on apple.

On Gingerbread, you have to rename those files "bootani" or something. (Sanim.zip?) Anyway, I could never get them to work after Froyo.

thank you for you dedicated assistance ... there is a boot animation app in market that can help with changing the boot but is not for everyone and well need to have root access
