Looking For A Mentor - Off-topic

Starting from the day I rooted my phone, I have grown a deep interest on how this wonderful os works. I want to dive deeper and learn how to tweak my phone or cook my own roms.
If there are any good souls out there willing to part with even just a small amount of their time to teach me intermediate or more advanced skills, I would greatly appreciate it.
I am a great learner...I want to be a great dev someday...will you help me?
Thanks

I feel the same way. I wish I knew how to make roms, but I don't. I hope there is someone out there willing to teach others.

If you find one, then I would love to get in on that too.
Love linux, have toyed with a few things but I consider myself a noob.

Smaberg's ROM is great and a lot of people loved it. To me, I really want him to continue making his ROM as it is the one that I found that really works for me. He is retiring because some people doesn't appreciate his work and would send him PMs talking crap about his work. He works really hard even though that his X1 went to heaven and most of us really do appreciate that. This has nothing to do with money all we wanted is for him to continue on this ROM and people should show some gratitude and help him out like how he help us out. Same for all the Chefs here in XDA and not just Smaberg. People should show some appreciation to all that is working hard here in XDA and people shouldn't criticize other people's work. Everyone should be supporting each and everyone here at XDA.
We need you Smaberg!! Don't go away man..
It is my first post in this forum, but I use your ROMS since Touch-X 6.1. I never had a post because I search and try to solve the problems myself.
My first post is for you Smaberg, please, stay.. Keep the amazing work dude!
I used almost all ROMS in this forum, and I have to say that your ROMS are the BEST SO FAR!!
Here in Brazil, the X1-guys loves you tooo!!!!!
WE NEED YOU MAN!!
I would like him back, and I personally support the banning of people who sent him the abusive PMs.
Also, I will try and donate a bit. I can never give much sadly. I don't live off a lot =(
Smaberg for president. His ROM's are the best. Donation is on it's way
This is the reason smaberg is leaving:
smaberg said:
hello friends, i will try to make this short...
i recive so many requests and pm and many many questions aday, so just answering them takes a good hour or two.
There are a few people that appritiate my work that they donated me a sum between a dollar and up, but 99 percent is thoose who just download then expect 100 percent support and changes to ROM. they even request changes, addons and moore.
So im pretty fed up with this situation, so im going to retire and let go of ROM COOKING. And to thoose who asked, no i have not gotten that many donations that i could by me a new one, so basicly its very hard to develop roms and give support without having one, and the amount of questions, memos is just too much, i spend about 6hours aday on this formum answering questions, making mods, roms, addons, and much moore, getting nothing in return.
so if i find a good cook i will give away my kitchen.
so goodbye everyone, ive enjoyed your comments on this thread, but as above so much work and so small amounts of donations, i have gotten together 180euro, so i cant even by myself the X1...

If you would like to be part of this team, please leave a post and we, mods, will get back to you.
We have a spanking new Q&A section lets keep it clean and organized.
PLEASE ​
Id love to help. Im on here all the time anyways messing with stuff.
I'll help out ^_^ Been a mod/admin of various forums if that helps and its nice to be part of a more developer type forum than just tech.
I'll be dropping in now and then to check and help out where I can. No problem.
im new to xda, but have and will be spending great amounts in these forums. I am a very patient person and also have a good knowledge with android to help users with their Questions!
Sure, Love to help =) Good at support hehe ^^
You know I'm always willing to help mikey
i would love to help moderate this part of the forum
always active member.
I'm almost always on
Let me know if I can be of service.
Mikey, I would love to help!
"I live to serve all believers."
Not as many replies as I expected. I haven't posted a lot here, but I've been using XDA to tinker with my G1 from the day I bought it. I've done customer service or tech support for many years and have plenty of patience to deal with all sorts of users. I think I've gotten to know the community enough that even if I don't have the answer, I know where to start looking.
I'm pretty active and have learned a lot, so I'd be glad to help out.
im still learning about everything on the g1 but im willing to help and pass what i know
Would love to be of some help! I am an Admin on another android site too! I could help you out alot!
I'd like in!
I like this forum because answers are always nice and clear even though the questions are a bit vague.
willing to lend a hand if its wanted...
don't claim to know it all but have enjoyed my time here at xda. if i can help keep things squeaky clean let me know.
I can throw in my two cents on subjects I know about. I spend atleast a half hour on here everyday or more.
I don't mind helping if it will keep people from bashing noobs.
I would love to help. I consider myself an experienced user, started developing a bit but I've had work to keep up with so I can't give to the community with developing anything.
I really want to give back to the community, so I hope my knowledge can be of good use.

New here

Hey all! I'm new here to xda-dev. I've lurked the forums for a while since getting my Touch HD in February. I am Lebanese and I HATE our oligopolous mobile carriers . Thankfully, Alfa(Cellis) plans to introduce HSPA+ 21mbps before 2010. I can only hope this is true so I can get a data plan for my phone.
Looking forward to tweaking my Blackstone
Welcome to the forum

and maybe teach us some of your knowledge about these stuff
its all about sharing and caring
good luck with your HD(drooling............ as i only have diamond )
Good evening and welcome, are you sitting comfortably? Then we shall begin!
I know everyone says use search and blah for answers, but can anyone point me out to where is a really basic guide for tweaking one's WinMo phone? You know backing up the ROM. Flashing etc... I find it friendlier to get knowledge like that regarding a broad topic than the usual browse/search suggestion. I would know from the other gaming board I visit.

[Q] Galaxy Ace Roms?

Hey all!
This question as probably been asked a dozen times but I can't find it if it has. So here goes, Is there a list somewhere of UP TO DATE SGA roms? By up to date I mean current as of 09-17-12. I found one on here and props to the user that compilled it but it was last updated March 2012. These roms develop so quick I'd love to be able to keep track of them all I just don't have the time to search through all the threads and forums. Better yet, is there a way to sort the threads based on the thread type? That way it could be grouped by kernel, rom, etc..Any help/ideas are greatly appreciated.
its not the updation matters for a rom.. its all about stability and what and all you expect..
some expect performance and battery life..
some expect cool looks..
its not that updated rom works perfectly always.. sometimes even updates spoil the rom...
so read the whole thread of the rom. replies from peoples.. and then decide on it..
if u tell ur expectations may be we can suggest u the rom
HugoSilva started a http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888660
Samsung Galaxy Ace ROM`sthread but got a little bit flamed because all Cooper roms and kernels are already in one of two places: the development section and the original development section. The thread titles in these sections often tell you about the rom like kernel, base, version etc. What you don't get from the title you can definitely get from the op. You don't have to search just scroll, but I would suggest to you that if you are too busy / lazy to search then xda might not be the best forum for you.
I have tried pretty much every rom and if you tell me what you are looking for in a rom I would be happy to give you my opinion on the most suitable for you needs.

The Myth 2 would be perfect for u as it gives good performance battery life n stability! even the looks are cool! moreover u can send msgs of 4 or above pages as in stock or other roms it is converted into mms! hit thnx if helpd
Thanks for alll the replies guys!
I guess I wasn't making myself clear, it's not that I mind searching/scrolling it's just that with all the threads in here it would be easier to be able to sort them based on type. For instance, if it's a rom it's usually stated as such in the thread title. great that's easy! But, what about being able to sort the thread list so all the "ROM" threads are sorted into one spot? Kinda like a library you know? U go to 900s for Science 800s for sports etc. Same Idea here. I don't see a sort by title/Subject option. only date, which is great but you also get kernels and other stuff mixed in.. Just some thoughts to make things easier for everyone that's all. As far as being called "Lazy" I resent that! If you can't take the time and consideration to answer a simple question without the insults then maybe this forum isn't the place for YOU. Just remeber, you were new at this stuff too at one time and probably had a lot of questions too.

Calm down, mate. I didn't say you were lazy. I said if. And maybe you are too busy! It was not meant to insult you. Yes, I was new at this and I'm certainly no expert but I haven't ever felt the need to start a new thread in 15 months of reading xda (I read for a long time before I signed up) because all the questions I ever wanted to ask have already been asked. If you don't believe me check my profile. I have tried to help you as I do everyone on xda.
If you want all the rom threads organised in a certain way, help yourself. If you think it would be helpful to the xda community post it on here but, as I tried to explain, other people have tried. It is a lot of work to maintain because things change all the time and people expect a thread like that to be up to date. Good luck.
Also, if you are new, as you say, may I suggest that you click the links in my signature as there are good hints and tips for new members.
I'm sorry you didn't find my first reply helpful. I'm sorry if this is not helpful either but both were sent without malicious intent.
Peace

no Worries at all. I'm sorry if I took it the wrong way. Just in a bad mood to begin with that day. Again, My Apologies for spouting off there. Really like I said, any help is greatly appreciated!!

Where to start? [Dont blame on me]

Hello!
May its sounds strange, but any idea where to start learn these things? I reading XDA, which is great, but there is any documentation or other website, which can help in this case?
Worked already with linux, yesterday compiled my first kernel. But interested in adding new mods and other sweets to my kernel.
Please dont say those noobies answers "If you dont know these, you shouldn't probably go into it.."
Everybody started somewhere, i just need to learn, thats all. But cant find noone, who can give me the basics.
Thanks for suggestions, etc.
Sincerely, Marcell

im not sure of the guides that helped me at the moment, but i personally googled it and found stuff. then i looked at other devs githubs, and started my own, then started cherry-picking and attempted numerous times to build the kernel. but id just google for guides on how to build android kernel for whatever phone you have (I'm going to guess it's the nexus 6). that should be a good starting point for you. sorry i couldn't exactly help more.

I understand, however it's still not helps.. I understand need to improve my skills a lot, but how an already written application helps me, which do every tasks for me.

Well, you can start with the basics, or jump right into it compiling from scratch. Though many of those tools are designed to help compile and build. You should be reading about each one. But what I'm trying to get across, is that there are multiple guides and tutorials for doing this, many of which are in the Chef Central Android section. Did you read through anything in the section I linked?
Or you can search XDA on "kernel building". Or search google on "kernel building" and add on "XDA" in your search for more XDA results.
Otherwise, I'm not sure the point of this thread? No one is going to walk you through it from beginning to end here in this thread, when there are multiple, and very long guides already out there that took people hours to create.
If you are going to get into this, you'll be researching and reading for many hours before you start a thing. And you'll need patience and have to be ready to do lots and lots of homework. :good:
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
I already built kernel some days ago, even yesterday. I would interested about customization, adding more features, but still there is nothing about it. Because what you linked is for building ROMs and NOT kernels. You know they are totally different. Even tried to search in Google, only found about adding grovenors, but nothing else.

Sir, there are kernel guides in Chef Central. (and some are withing the complete rom guides. Or at least have links to kernel resources) But, if they don't suit your needs, again, I would search XDA on "kernel building". There are many guides throughout the site that I find when I do that.
Pick one that you like and that is active with questions and answers in them, and perhaps try asking in one of those. That's where you'll find the experts.
:good:
Edit: Hopefully this link will work, http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=Kernel building
That will lead you to lots of information.
