So i got a Nexus 7 so i'm kinda leaving these forums :) (Like you care :D ) Now, for "the words on my mind", the Android Development section in here is really messy, full of "WinZip" roms and a little tweaking, and don't get that angry about this post, if you would think about this, you would agree with me :) I know they are starting, and they are beginners but c'mon look at TheWhisp :) He started to learn by not posting any "WinZip" roms and just researched a lot and where did it get him? :) Being an awesome dev that's where it got him. Think about things that i said in here. And i hope you all farewell :)

Sincerely,
Netas3k

that's absolutely right! everyone can do it, but there's no reason to post those frankensteins here... i was doing the same, put some tweaks and apps to cm7, change few graphics in framework and systemui to my likings, center the clock, but i never posted anything like that because it's pointless...

Yup, that's true. About 90% of stuff in dev thread is nothing but just themed crap which everyone can do yourself. Even I did some experiments and learning stuff but that's no reason for me to post some crap and say " This is my first ROM. I am learning right now. I added this ............ crap. Hope you like it. ...........................PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON."
Seriously I don't know what they get from this. I remember some guy recently posted Lunar UI ROM. (Totally useless. Just you need to add a theme and icon pack and you are done). No offence but that is really not worth saying custom ROM.

DQiB man. Irritating kid. First he spams the dev section with 6-7 cooked roms and now he posts a tutorial for others to spam the dev section :| even though he got banned, he should get an IP ban.

Maybe, this is the reason we got an "Original Android Development section". No cooked ROMS or ports are allowed there. Its all about "Build from source"

Yep, that's why XDA made the Original Development forums, but that wouldn't have been necessary if there were A LOT less of those "WinZip" roms, or even if there were none.

The development of Mini is rapidly dying now. The only good dev left doing real development is TheWhisp. Pretty soon the dev section will be dead.

that's not correct I was eagerly waiting for his tut

because i have a karbonn smart tab 1 which is having 0% development so I wanted to do some tweaking in the framework but now I don't think its possible

and yeah I agree posting roms with some tweaks in dev section is wrong

There are pro's and con's of this guide, good thing is it will help some new users to understand how android works and give them some starting point, the bad thing happened some time ago and it's those winzip roms with no significant changes :(

Yep, as soon as my contract ends I'm getting rid of this piece of crap and getting a better phone. Not only is Galaxy Mini a crap phone, but the dev section is full of crap too. All the good devs have left because they've got better phones now.
