[Q] Pre-requisites to becoming a developer - LG Optimus 4X HD

So, what's the know-how, in your opinion, to be part of the 4x HD developing team, and the knowledge needed to cook a successful rom ?

There are so many tutorials over in the Android development forums right here in XDA. I think nobody can say like "learn this, this and that and then you're perfectly ready for developing". It needs practice and patience and some basic knowledge of coding.

Be curious.
Never believe you have nothing more to learn.
Be humble, learn from others.
Never give anything for granted,
Read. Read a lot. Read thousand times more than you write.
Expect to face a lot of problems
Do not expect others to solve your problems.
Use your brain.
Do not believe in "magic formulas". What one does as a developer is the result out of his/her efforts and committment, at least, if he/she is a honest one.
Prepare yourself to be willing to give up.
Never give up.

Anyone else annoyed?

I am finding that a lot of new ROMs are being posted that don't actually have any difference to other ROMs apart from some colours, and really are just themes.
I promised myself that I wouldn't write a wall of text so I've kept it short.
Is anyone else getting annoyed by this is or is it just me?
same here, at the most, some people have just applied a few tweaks which are readily available on the forums anyway
Same here.. It annoys me too.. these, um, 'devs'... I appreciate their effort, but its nothing much creative..

Wall of text. Please explain that to this guy. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18756483&postcount=3
(yes I know it's a different forum)
I would be okay with this if they clearly stated what they did instead of trying to make it seem like actual development
Sometimes I ask my self why they don't just make flashable themes instead of making their own "ROM"
They should put [COPYCAT] in front of their threads and save us a lot of trouble
That plus the ones that make a rom that I really like then decide they want to make their own forum that you have to sign up for if you want to keep up to date with the rom.
Or I hate.it when they make nice rom with their own stuff and theme it. Like wtf man no one wants a black and blue rom with a purple or green back cover. Think, man think.-________-

EXACTLY!
it would save us all the time of downloading, flashing and possibly restoring if you wiped.
I concur. If all that has changed is the theme, then just post a theme and let people choose ROMs that are actually useful.
OK you 're right 50%.
First you have to try the rom and then comment in the thread.
Yeah. I hate when they do that.

What is the point when all the features are exactly the same as every other single ROM, and they will quite obviously not have the same performance as ROMs that have recognised developers making them?

We're working on a solution! Coming soon
Confusing
For the average user it is very confusing to have so many roms out there. Not many have time to read countless thread with hundreds of pages to decide which rom is a winner and which is a lemon ...
Yes it is true that it will be lot more convenient to us people, but what if they're doing it to learn?
You're not paying them anyway.

Not to make this personal, but if the average user is not willing to read and study then that is a problem of his, or her, own. XDA isn't about instant gratification, you SHOULD look and study, that's what evolves the average user into a more well built and well studied user
I'm not trying to offend you, just giving my two cents.
-Remember, Android hell is a real place and you will be sent there at the first sign of defiance-
This annoys me too but for a different reason. I have created my very first rom, but it is just another rom that I themed and tweaked. I threw that rom into the trash and reset my kitchen.
Its hard to think of something original, never been done before, stand out from the crowd, make iphone users jealous... which kinda sucks, because I want to contribute to the community. I think i'll just wait a week or two for the x10 gingerbread to come out and do a few themes...
It well, that's my rant finished.

...most dumb post I've ever seen in the last months.
I really trying to raise the user experience of users by spending a lot of time and effort in those mods....and I'm doing a lot of mods as you can see in my signature.
Well you can believe it or not, I dont just spent hours on those mods, more like days and weeks. On my leedroid tweaks project even months.
..and I'm doing this for fun and SHARE it with YOU for FREE!
So what the problem when I just put one rule up for DEVS and THEMERS to wait a t least on week before including it?
On that way I can ensure some activity in my threads and not to lose all users by day one, because all are kanging me on day two?
...YOu're really a poor guy - You are talking about whats with xda now?
Look at yourself, too much ignorant7dumb users here just leechicng stuff without beeing able to eben thank a dev for therer time spending in their projects.
Could write even more...you really made my day..worse. Thx.

Dumb? Asking people to wait a week to get permission to use your work and you call me dumb? Yea request they ask your permission and give you credit for your hard work but wait a week! Man people like you is what's wrong with xda and no dumb leechers in here. The guy posted and stated it wasn't his work and direct linked to your thread. No problem with that at all. All he did wrong was provid file on download. He was tryna to help not leech. There is a major difference

you may want to retract that statement about not wanting users mate as they are who made you who you are on here. if they all hated your **** or didnt use it you would be nothing on here and wouldnt still be dev_ing. oh and i never said you had an attitude but dont be judging me dude. i will freely express my opinion always

Idiots in these forums.

I have recently came across some idiots in these forums. So i would like to point out to some new people here. Look out for these idiots, be aware of these idiots, and if you have a little tiny problem with your device dont you dare ask for help, as you will be called a noob and told to put your device back to stock by these idiots. You will not see people asking for help here. So if thats what your after, then dont bother.

The upgrading happens when dalvik cache is cleared. Sounds like there was an issue with dalvik. So yeah. Wiping/stock was probably your best bet it wiping/reflash didn't work. It could also have been a bad kernel flash.

Oh and youre backwards... you get called a noob and then you get told to go back to stock.

I'm just guessing that this thread won't be deleted. Mostly because it completely adheres to the forum rules and is an incredibly helpful asset to the community.
You should post more like this. Help those other n00bs out.
/sarcasm
Listen, whether you had a real problem or not is irrelevant. There will always be people that just like pissing on your cookies. If you hadn't experienced people like that in the past I want to congratulate you for finally leaving your house or connecting to the internet for the first time...those people are everywhere. The correct way to deal with them is to ignore them and then realize that everyone else in the world has dealt with them in the past. The incorrect way is to call attention to it and then cry about it in a very public way. Take this advice: Leave it alone and never bring it up again. It just makes you look pathetic and self-entitled to make an entire forum topic about it so you can "tell the world". The world already knows...I'm just sorry you didn't.

No need for an apology. Just read threads and the posts. Most, if not all the information you need can be found on the threads. Yes, some are hundreds and hundreds of pages but reading and searching will give you great results. I'm in no way an expert. I hope to learn and love this stuff. I have learned tons on here and you can never stop learning. Don't take things personal either.

4.2 based rom???

there is no android 4.2 based rom or fw available for this phone yet....cynogenmod 10.1 couldnt go any far as of now.....I want to request developers to focus on or to develop in latest 4.2 version...all want to see latest ports for the device...there is no point of putting time in modifying existing roms of othrrs ....
Dude, for our device there are no 4.2... so on what does the ROM need to be based? If you want 4.2 stock based it's not gonna work.
Let the dev's do their work and wait for 4.2... patience will be rewarded. Some countries are still waiting for 4.1
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
I think he means they should develop CM10.1 instead of cm10.. somewhat I agree, but it's much more difficult, and they don't have all the sources for that. Let them do cm10 first, than they might start work on cm10.1, or maybe not.. even cm10 is in early beta, and how long have they been doing that?
It's not an easy task as the source is not released. So little chance of getting cm 10.1. But still cm 10 is in progress thanks to our devs team and that's good enough for me
I think we need to wait a bit for 4.2
Well CM10 is the main priority I guess and we have the best of our devs working on it. When it is stable I hope that they want to continue on CM10.1 which is harder without sources as we don't even have all sources for CM10 yet.

I am not an developer, just user who helps new user sometime. The ones who deserve that, but I make mistake and help to someone who do not. :laugh:
And about that book, it is about waiting for something that is not coming and not doing anything. That is what are you doing, if you want it that badly - do it yourslef.
P.S. But I knew that you would answer like you did when I was writing that post to read that book. You seem like some spoiled child.

I suggest you read this book.
I will leave you alone with your demands, but I just hate that kind of people.
P.S. And you think developers like to have their work to be in beta so long?
And I used to notice every thread in here, untill I got busy.

STOP WITH THESE FLAME WARS OKAY WE ALREADY HAD BEEN HAVING FIGHTS AND WE SETTLED THEM BUT NOW IT"S GETTING FAR ENOUGH
Let's all work together and act like normal human beings. It's not usual to flame someone who's doing the Dev job volontarily.
I'm new here, and I'm trying to learn, but I'm not that technical. I try my best to contribute to this society, I can't develop or mod but everytime I read this forum my knowledge about Android grows and if it's needed I would share that knowledge.
I don't wanna sound like the good guy but I guess we all should be here for learning or sharing knowledge, if we can do that we could form a great team!

Development

Has the attempts to unlock, patch Loki, and/or build a custom recovery for the US variants just halted. I mean last weekend some were talking as if they should have custom recovery working by the end of the weekend. I've offered to test or do anything to help with the process. I've gotten no response. No files to test no request to help or do anything. I don't know a lot about building custom recoveries or patching Loki or bootloaders. I'm more of a ROM builder/porter. And themer. My experience and know how lacks in those areas but I follow instructions very well and not afraid to test or try anything. But there doesn't seem to be any advancements with the US variants. Why? Where are we stuck at? And who is actually building or working on the Loki or custom recovery? I'm not asking for someone to tell me they know someone who is working on it. Or they know that "they" are very close. Who ever is working on it please let some of us eager crack flashers know how we can help. I am not near as talented as some of the people I've seen in this forum at this stuff and not claiming to be but with all of us helping maybe we can make some headway.

The thing is one guy is the one saying they're close. No actual dev has said they're close. Also, it seems this gotroot guy is the only one the devs talk to and apparently is the only one who can test it since they're waiting for him to get a phone back.... It all seems fishy to me. Neither shellnut or DJ have need mentioned anything also I spend a lot of time on gflex irc channel lately and have yet to see the flex even mentioned.
I quite trying to get flashing methods without a recovery because I thought they were closer, but I'm thinking gotroot is feeding us bs do in going to start looking back into it.

By the way autoprime and androiduser have both confirmed Loki is patched so not sure why gotroot is claiming the devs have Loki working
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
To whom it may concern I was the one who tested for the g pro and the g.. I have stated that Loki is working. I have tested builds of cwm already. My ls995 is already running cwm. They will rls it when it's ready. They are making it user friendly so people will not brick there phone and start crying... the fact is everyone wants something for nothing. And the devs working on this have lives beyond your need of cwm. So calm down or build it yourself...
Its sad that you people are this way very sad.. I will not be testing anything else due to these comments. Everyone can thank these people

@Gotroot you've been here long enough to know that when only 1 person is claiming something and he's not even directly involved 99% of the time it's false. Neither dev had mentioned anything, only you, and they both post on the g2 forum. That adds up to suspicious.
Second, don't test anything. I've seen your profile. You haven't made a ROM or mod so you'll be the only one with a recovery, but nothing to use it for. Getting a recovery to everyone benefits you as well.
Now to your ridiculous comment if wanting something for nothing. My last ROM had 2300 downloads and I got 1 donation. That's with me making several custom items per requests. I even offered to make a custom theme for a guy here and when he asked how much to donate told him nothing. Now you claim to know a free unlock method and instead of posting a how to offer to sell it.... Seriously?)

It is what it is good... I hope you guys know how to apologize ... if not just shows how ignorant you really are.

What are you 12? Get pissy grab your ball and storm out. You know how to get people to believe you.... Post a picture of cwm on you flex and we'll know you're telling the truth and I bet people will support you. I mean it's already running it right?

By the way you testing has no bearing on the actual development. If they spent this long working do you think they'll just stop because you decided not to test?

I will do nothing more for people that are this ungreatful its just so so sad... I do not have to prove anything. Sad part is I bricked a phone tring to help you people and just because your not getting what you want when you want it you start acting like a bunch of pricks. I try to give yall hope that there are devs working on this issue for yall and you act like this, This will be the last time I speak of this and I hope he only makes it threw the donate ver. of freegee. This is by the worst I thing I have seen on here you should all be ashamed.
Ungrateful because I said I don't believe you. Are you slow? By the way posting a picture of a file in your computer named cwm proves nothing. Seriously ill gladly eat my words and beg for forgiveness if you can post proof.... Like a picture of it running on your flex like you claim it is.

I'd like to see proof of CWM on your g flex as well...Just a simple picture of CWM running on your g flex. @Gotroot

Well there we go. That's the first proof anyone has provided. So whether it's working or not at least he's working on it. That was all I was asking for, gotroot said it's running on his phone but showed nothing. That's a big claim to not prove anything.
Like I said though. I was wrong. I'm glad to see a dev working in this. @Gotroot I'm truly sorry I doubted you. You know how people will come on here and make false claims so I felt your story was suspicious.... But I was wrong.

Fair enough, but if you're going to come in saying how it's working and you're already running it, then some proof isn't a crazy request. That's a huge step and claim and being the only one like gotroot and that he said last weekend and not a sound that doesn't seem like it's crazy to wasn't too see some proof.
By the way another hobby? I just want a recovery so I can test my ROM I've been building. I guess I could just stop and we could have a recovery with nothing to flash.
As for a new hobby me and gotroot were talking and someone showed proof. So I did exactly what I said and admitted I was wrong. What I'm trying to figure out is why you have anything to say after the fact and what you contribute besides pointless threads about speed tests?
And again asking for proof is not being inpatient so why do you idiots keep saying to be patient. It's being skeptical and not believing everything read on the internet, especially when only 1 person is saying it. However as shown gotroot seems I be telling the truth so again I am sorry to him for doubting him.

Oh trust me i understand and yea my threads maybe useless but i dont come on here speculating and being suspicious about anything because at the end of the day what am i going resolve proving weather he's lying or not better yet what would you have done if he was lying or not besides proving that o wow he's a fake a fraud and ruin his so call rep on xda what else would you have gain?
Nothing really but going out your own way on doing your own thing which hey if you don't or didn't believe him and think there's something suspicious going on then you should have just pm the 2 devs that are working on it "that you also had suspicious on just because they haven't decided to post or say any news on their progress" to give you what they have for you to test.
I know this is XDA and most times there needs to be proof shown if they as in them 3 that are actually working on it has their reasons so be it and im glad you stand up to your words and apologizing it takes a real man for that to happen but if there's nothing that we could do other then wait then so be it if the devs are only letting gotroot test things out for them then let it be and when its ready to be release then they will release trust me im waiting on this too since im a flashaholic.

I'll be honest I mainly wanted proof to know if I needed to continue trying to figure out the 2nd init I was researching as an option. It was going to take me a lot if time because I was going to be learning from scratch. I started to have suspicion and that's why I said it, I've always been the type to say what I think and to admit when I'm wrong (which apparently I am here).
Two things though. If one of the devs said they were working on it I wouldn't have even thought to question them, but when someone says they're using it and they're the only one mentioning it seemed funny. Second, now that proof was shown (whether needed or not) let's move on, wait patiently and enjoy this phone. I've said what I had to and now proved wrong apologized (and pmed gotroot so it's more personal then here).
On a side note I'd like to say sorry to everyone here. If you look through my old posts I'm usually much more political in my responses. I've been having a lot of stress lately and went to far in my replies.
