Xev_10177 suggested that my thread on developers leaving should be used as a resource for all the people wanting to try and pickup developing for the Infuse in sight of almost all of our beloved devs leaving. To make things simpler and to have a thread specifically dedicated to such a thing I have made this one.

Here is Xev_10177's original post:
Many of us here want to help pick up the dev community here since many are jumping ship. So let's help each other out here. Don't be greedy. Let's share links between us. If you found a good link and you think it might be helpful to others, share it here. Let's pick up the community and keep rolling 'cause there are many of us who are keeping our Infuse4G's so... :) And obviously, your help will be appreciated. If I find any useful links, I'll obviously share them here. :)

As Xev_10177 said, let's keep it rolling!

Anybody, feel free to contribute links or anything of value that could be helpful!

Well I dusted off my old dell latitude and installed the latest Ubuntu and have installed all the tools to make a rom just need to figure out how the pieces fit together lol..... I have been taking apart roms all day I think with some time I may be able to do this lol hopefully I have a good grip before android 2.4 comes out and I can cook us up a rom!

If anyone knows any helpful tips or tricks please share any help will be appreciated! PM me or email me at thephoneguyusa@gmail.com

I was going to jump ship for the S2 but played with it for a bit and I like my infuse!

This is already starting to look good! I'm going to try and do some things. Got a lotta crap with the Marines to do, but I'm definitely going to try and get into this ROM business! Let's get some recipes and cook away!

This site has come in handy:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

For all those who are seriously into getting into making custom roms for this device we should form a dev team that way we can help each other learn and cook up some bad ass roms!

That's really not a bad idea. :) I like it.

Here's a thread by diablo009 on Android Memory Management. Just a little background on things. Doesn't hurt to take a glance through this every once in a while. :)

TO EVERYONE THAT IS SERIOUSLY INTERESTED:
If we are going to form a dev team we need a way to keep in contact and fast (in case there is a breakthrough).
twitter, google plus?

I don't have GooglePlus, and I barely use Twitter. But, in the case of me joining a dev team with you guys, I'd use Twitter 24/7 to keep in contact with you guys. For sure.

And sure, I'm also in, that is, if you guys approve obviously. We might have to starting to PM each other on regards with who's on the team and everything.
