[Q] Paid Developers? Or how to port roms? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok- odd question- but is there any way to "buy" a rom, as it were? Freelance roving developers who work for commission?
I'd KILL (ok, not kill. But maim) for MIUI for the p1010, and be willing to pay for it to be developed- but have no idea where to start. Alternatively- How hard is it to port MIUI myself? What languages are needed, how good is the documentation, etc?
Thank you for any help!

ROM Cookers unite!....:) well can they?

Hi Guys,
Been on the forums for a while now since getting my X1. Like most X1 users I am eagerly awaiting the next exciting cooked rom to be released.
There a lot of clever guys on here (itje...jackleung...Daren...Bxsteez...the list goes on...) and credit to them all for what they do Top Guys!
Just a thought... but wouldnt it make more sense for all the Rom cooking guys to get together and maybe work on a few 'ultimate roms'. Maybe even just seperate cabs that work with a particular rom?
Maybe its forbidden taboo? and its something that ya just dont do... But I'd just thought I'd ask if its a possibility?
Just seems that all the guys are working so hard to all end up doing the same thing! where as if if they where all working together...the end results may just be awesome....
I'll apologise now if a topic like this has already been mentioned (I didnt see one).
Once again, Credits to the Cookers out there. I wish I had your knowledge
Kind Regards,
King
Long Live the X1....lol
many cooks do work together, perhaps not visible, but through pm and other media.
But releasing roms that we all cook on would take alot of coordination..
all cant cook in the same kitchen, that could get messy .
Its not that we dont want to, its just not practical. And adding to that we are like all other artists..we like to be special...hahahahah
seriously...duh...ehhhh...damn those beers...haha
perfectly suitable adjective for this
Too many cooks spoil the broth..
Isn't it better to have a menu with different tastes on it?

i couldnt agree more...
and like itje, we are a special, but in what we like to have in a ROM.
I'm gonna have to agree with itje. I couldn't have made any of my roms without the help of itje's kitchen and everyone's help across the forum.
Although i think there might be something there.. All get together and make base rom nothing special nothing unique just the best xperia lite rom we could make and then kinda branch off from there... Might be kinda impratical for us to be able to get that done. I dunno. I must say it does make me think...
Hey guys,
I understand what ya saying. Thanks for listening anyway. Keep up the good work. Your a credit to us all... Including the moderators.... and yes your all Special! Am special too... in ward 10. I have nice white padded walls
Kind Regards,
King
Like what itje said already, we did communicate and helping each other publicly or privately. And I am very open on what I found and did on my roms.
Like food (and many different thing), there is no BEST, or ULTIMATE on rom.
Different cook has different taste and cooking style, and different consumer had different preference to suit his need in many different area such as functionality vs. size (Lite vs. full), speed vs. stability, language (WWE, German, Chinese, ....etc).
Therefore, it's simply impossible/impractical to have one(or a few) ROM that suit everybody.

It's very hard to define and agreed on "best lite rom".
For example, my V2 lite has about 382mb free storage. Is it the litest you can get? No, because I can make it even liter by removing MS Live, Office ...etc. But then some people may complaint missing this or missing that (e.g. ringtones).
It just uneasy to draw the line and agreed on any standard.
Yea that is true..... The way i originally had my lite rom was completely stripped of every thing but everyone was saying they wanted more crap thrown in............. never ending stuggle i guess. Maybe we can crack open the xperia and put high density drop in replace RAM chip
i would like to flash my own rom but where can download newest rom and oem package.

The first thing you should learn for rom cooking is read and search. Everything you need is in this forum already.

Epocrates Request.....

Ok, so my wife works in cardiology, and she was looking for a good medical application to help her through the day. There is a very small Drug Reference App, but not what she's looking for. Epocrates (sp?) is an app built for WM, Palm Pre/Treo, and Blackberry, but no Android support.
My main question is:
Is it possible to port this app to android, or build it?
...BUMP.....
Thread Bump....
It is not really feasible to port the app without the help of the company who created the original application. Your best bet is to contact them and tell them you are looking for an android port. If they see enough demand perhaps they will port it.
I don't believe Epocrates has developed an app, but go to Unbound Medicine and almost their entire suite of apps is available for Android.

Not to mention i'm sure Epocrates, Inc. would not be pleased if you went about porting their applications without their permission. As noted above, best way is probably to demonstrate to Epocrates, Inc. that there is a demand for an Android version.
Right on, thats all I needed to know! Thanks
I surely agree with what JanetPanic and jashsu had to say here. It is really not good to port without their permission, but does Epocrates give this facility is a question when they do not have Android support.

Porting application from Hero --> to Cyanogen

Hi guys!
Is possible to install the HTC's applications from a rom Hero to a Cyanogen?
I'm interesting to application "People" and "Phone"
I've asked in an italian android's forum (www.androidiani.com) and they says that maybe is possible, but there are many problems with dependencies...
What do you think about this?
Thanks in advance!

The hero apps are closely tied to HTC's closed source framework, and as such not easy or practical to port. Also, I hear Q&A loves to answer questions just like this one
it's hard. Talk to stericson (twitter.com/stericson)
he's the one who ported htcmusic to cyanogen. but it's hard, and was simply lucky that htcmusic was as simple as it was.
so, no. very unlikely.
I suggest, if you're into the hero apps but want a stock-like look&feel, go for haykuro 6.0r1. its ancient, but at least has that dialer.
oh, and for future ref., q&a is a more friendly section for these kinds of things.
Yeah. Q&A is the best place to ask this.
Anyway, seeing as if you've asked. It would be possible, if Cyanogen was going to put the HTC Framework in his ROM. Unfortunately, he's already said he isn't putting it all in, so you'd have to do a really large amount of work to get it to work.
In my opinion, I don't see why you would want to, really...
This has been asked many times. It will never happen unless the HTC framework is used. (If you use the HTC framework, then you end up with a Hero ROM.)
Thread moved to Q&A and closed.

[TT] Kitchen alà samdroidmod for vibrant?

As the title says... would it be possible to make a "kitchen" like the one from samdroidmod just for Vibrants?
Well.. You need a host, and a programmer to put it together.. I can volunteer hosting, with the caveat that I would run ads if the traffic required me to upgrade. Now find a programmer to build the kitchen, and we might be in business..
I too can host, with a 750GB (7,5TB/mth traffic) hosting plan at servage.net. So, yeah, what we need is a programmer who can put it together =)
I am already working on a kitchen. But it will not be an online one. I don't have the patience to do one online because that requires a lot of code and resources if you are going to do it correctly. Plus, with a software type there is a lot of directions you can go with it without limitations. I am basing it off my Samsung Moment kitchen that I almost finished.
But in all honesty my biggest problem is I have a hardware locked Vibrant. So, testing is very very iffy for me.
Mine isn't hw locked, so if you want I could be your guinea pig...
I resantly was developing ROMs for wm, but am now over to android and vibrant. I want to learn how to develop for vibrant, but doesnt know where to start
But again, if you need a guinepig I can help
I can test your kitchen if you would like. Also I could help get it online. Don't ask for nothing but my name in the credit / thanks roll.

I volunteer for guinea pig work as well. Not hardware locked so I'm not worried about bricking my phone.

Sorry to be "that guy" but I can't help it. It's not "alà." That is not a word nor a phrase in French, just nothing. The phrase you are looking for is "à la." But since you're speaking English, you could use that or just simply "a la."
Back to the topic though: interesting idea.
haha... alà is a norwegian word actually, I just "ported" it to english
About the idea it should be possible also on the vibrant, but I'm no good at code... :S

I hate to continue the derailing.....but I love this (I hate needless spelling and grammar corrections).
Host Away!!
If you need hosting I can HOST also .. I have unlimited space and bandwidth ...
Let me know what you guys need.. Thanks
Any progress on this? I was hoping to make use of this.

Im very interested in putting together a full featured rom. with many customizable options.
well post here or send me a pm and let me know whats up okay thanks for reading!

and i need help with this if anyone can?
i wish i knew how to do it?
