I don't mean to oversimplify what they do because if making quality and stable roms were easy, we'd all be running our own crap  It takes time, patience, plenty of updating, and lots of testing to make a rom worth running more than two hours.
Now consider porting an entire operating system to a specific hardware set and decompiling drivers while tracing events and fuctions through both the code and harware drivers... it's a very different animal from WM roms. The sticking point right now is the sound (read about it in the Andoir subforum). I've looked at a several functions and proposed fixes in the Android forums, and it's definitely while almost infinitely more involved than cooking roms (coming from 6+ years of C/C++). I'm not familiar with any of the cooks' programming backgrounds and for all I know they may be perfect for the job; I'm just saying that cooking roms and porting Android and don't have much in common in terms of knowledge and experience necessary for success.
It's similar to asking your surgeon to perform an engine transplant on your car. |
I'm not saying they will be able to do it either. I'm just saying that out of all of us, the cooks are
probably the more technically inclined and coule therefore, probably, offer the most help.
