What is the difference between Android development forum and original Android develop - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

I think the Android dev forum are for those who take stock ROMs from the carrier of the device and modify it to their liking. Original Development probably has devs taking the source vanilla Android and creating a ROM out of it.

Ahh. Thanks for that. I kept finding myself going back and forth to each forum. I couldn't find an explanation anywhere.

Android development is for roms based on stock - trickdroid, arhd etc.
original is for kernal development, aosp, aokp etc.

You must be using the xda mobile app. The difference is clearly explained in a sticky on the original development forum.
(the sticky is there precisely so we don't have to have a lot of threads like this but I digress)
In the full web browser experience, you will see that thread listed at the top above all the others. In the mobile app you have to click on the "stickies" tab to expose these. Just fyi..

Also I believe the original dev forum are using alpha and beta builds kernels and Roms, which most were projects that are work in progress I.e. the cyanogenmod, some hasn't received updates for long time, they may have been abandoned or obsolete.
On the other hand, the android development forum are housed with released roms, kernels and mods.
If this description is incorrect, please do correct me.

Why stock from in development section ?

Coming from the galaxy s section I'm used to the stock roms being in the general section. Why are the stock and development roms in the same section? Surely the general section would be better for stock roms as the galaxy s and s2 sections are.

Rom itself a development, it is Samsung development. So there is nothing wrong if rom consider under development
No surely it would be better for them to be in Development so they're with the custom roms. It's actually more organized, all roms in one place, but that's just me.
surely it would be better to have the stock roms in one thread.

[Q] can you port a kernel?

so i have a samsung vibrant and i do ports from the i 9000 to the vibrant. mymost recent port was built on the mackay kernel. therefore when i created this rom it is extremely laggy since i have it running semaphore. vibrant has no mackay kernel. therefore is it possible to port kernels as i dont know how to build a kernel from source.
if by port u mean like those rom porting method ie copy pasting binaries, no, u cant. u still need to recompile kernel from source.
kernel binary is specific to which device it compiled for, not cross compatible to other device even if the other device is identical.
assuming the sgs and vibrant got similar specs which would make the "port" easier, u need to grab the sgs kernel source u meant to "port", make required changes to it then compile.
thats kernel port, need to recompile from source one way or another.
yeah ive got a LOT of reading to do like for example: learning how to compile, learning what i need in general to create the kernel. thanks man

You should by start by building a simple kernel from proper sources imho
So if there is no actual open source for jellybean for my phone do I download a kernel that's already been built in my phones section and use use that as a base?

You can't use an existing kernel as "base", you have to getthe aource
Well I got some research to do then because Samsung dropped the vibrant a while ago

What is the difference between?

Hi I m coming from Motorola Atrix forum to here cause i ve changed my phone to N7000 I wonder what is the difference between Original n7000 developement and n7000 developement? There was no another original developement topic in Atrix's

Good question!
The original android dev is about android as it was intended by google. (Aosp).
The other one is mainly for samsung based roms (with touchwiz and all that nonsense ;#)

Thats right, multiview is a feature developed by samsung and is part of touchwiz, both those things arent available in AOSP (Android Open Source Project) roms.
If you prefer a samsung/touchwiz based rom then I reckon Ultimate is alright.
I myself however have am more comfortable with an AOSP rom, currently and for the last year or so ive been using Paranoid Android, which can be found in the Original Android Development section of the forum.
It has alot of nice features such as the Pie menu, DPI Mods (which is awesome on the big screen of the G-Note).
None of the touchwiz features are available on that rom, I prefer it that way.
I suggest you make a backup and just try both : )
Have fun, and good luck!

recommend N7000 rom for old lady

My Mother is currently on the official 4.0.4, I would like to upgrade her note to 4.1.2 similar to TouchWiz but without all the bloatware, so NeatRom was an obvious choice as I am using it on my S2, but I could not find NeatRom for the note, may it does not exists, so any recommendation would be great.
Thanks.
First off you posted in the wrong section you should posted in the Q&A section
2. Look at the ROMs and make choice of what is right for you and your needs. And you can look at this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38908434
Most of the custom ROMs here have the bloatware removed already but the ROM I linked to is a very light two ROM

Devote some time for your mom. You will find quite a few best custom roms, where you have posted your question. Go through these roms and surely you will find one suitable.

Android Development = ROMs/kernels based on stock
Original = ROMs/kernels based on not-stock(i.e. AOSP, MIUI, etc.)
Generally speaking, of course. That's my understanding.
Original Development can also contain ROMs based on stock, but with extensive changes like Viper ROMs. They're just starting out on the One, so their thread is still in the Android Dev forum
