Lots of ROMs out, not sure why no posts?

Re: Lots of ROMs out, not sure why no posts?

I was under the impression that as our community begins to develop that we'll post our own tools, upgrades and roms here, rather than link to other forums.

I'm working on cooking up one myself, Adrynalyne has already released an alpha/beta of his rom in this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=109833

Yeah, I am currently on Adryn's ROM right now. Nothing wrong with cross promotion. It always just seems kind of dead over here.

Its hard to work on Android. It requires a lot more technical knowledge, with Linux,Java, and C++ than say cooking for Windows Mobile, which doesn't require the knowledge of either.

So the reality of it is, there will always be a smaller community of Android devs, and most of them are over at All Droid. Even then, there are only a handful. Even on XDA, they are in the minority compared to Winmo devs.

Myself, I have a fairly decent knowledge of Linux (user since '95), but my Java knowledge is not really there. So Im at a major disadvantage as well. The only coding background I have is in C (not C++). I am working on it, but as a Chem E major, its very low on my list of priorities at the moment.

Once someone makes a universal kitchen, we will all be set. Until then, we will have a very small handful of truly amazing devs/programmers, and then a small handful of those who know how to customize and piece things together to make a decent product.

Then, you have some devs in competition with each other, not willing to share information. Thats not healthy for a modding community. Hopefully they will get past that. One of the things that helped the i910 community really get going was the desire to share information with everyone. Secrets suck. :)
