Hi community,
my plans are to learn how to develop my own customROM and perhaps Kernel for my own device.
But I dont want to do this with my new mobilephone and my old ones (LG o2x, HTC HD2) are giveaways for my mum and girlfriend so there isn't a mobilephone left to do this.
Now I've considered to buy a cheap and used Android mobilephone at ebay but there are so many different devices.
My question is if there is a device with which it is easy to learn developing and which pardons mistakes.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks for your response
best regards

I would go with a Nexus S (GSM version)
Very simple to use, pure Google and I would assume it's relatively cheap now. Also has ICS and JB

Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

I am a subgenre of phone power user- Not a fanboy or a total hater of anything in the mobile world, but up until now I have never been able to like the android experience, never hated on the system just never liked it, and have always loved both iOS and WP7 (proud owner of a 4S, HD7 and hoping to make a purchase of an iPad 3 soon) and found the Android OS too buggy, slow and glitchy for my liking, however from what I can see, the G3 actualy makes a smooth beautiful and fast experience out of the system, so finally I see temptation in purchasing the handset. I have heard many things about all the possibilities with the system that are closed in the smoother more beautiful systems of iOS and WP7, but for me the user experience is more important than being able to do all of these extra computing functions, although it seems to me that the Samsung have been able to provide the happy medium.
has anyone here tried the SG3? Any information of wether you would recomend it to me based on what I wrote in this post? thanks
Mate, there's an sgs3 forum.

Moving to Q&A
Being a bit of a newb myself. I wondered if anyone agrees that there should be at separate Q&A for noob (novice) questions only.
Therefore more experienced users can filter out stupid questions that even I think is ridiculous. Leaving the Q&A for real problems, rather than simple and stupid questions like "how do I flash a new modem" etc. I propose this idea in all platforms and models.
I felt as a true noob, some time ago that people are very quick to snap at noobs. Leaving them feeling like quitting and giving up. As a community member I feel this is an issue. Having a Q&A for noobs I hope would not leave noob questions unanswered.. just only given advice from willing and helpful members. Leaving experienced or dare I say selfish user the freedom they desire, and the noobs that extra bit of support.
After all, this is a community and we are "supposed" to be helpful. And we all started without any knowledge atall. I am eager to hear your responses.. both noobs and pro devs.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thank me if you agree or better still, post your thoughts. Thanks for your patience in reading my rant

I don't think it's in the intrests of XDA to segregate people, and brand them as "noobs" just because they are new. I've seen alot of new users learn very quickly and become very respected developers

To be honest most ppl brand themselves as noobs. I feel I am learning very quickly, currently learning java. Some people just don't have the patience. Can't be bothered to search. As I have learnt in my experiences that you have to be very patient and start all over again often. As for people who don't search.. that's just pure laziness. Ah well the strong will prevail..

Not a bad idea. But would they follow? Being noob i guess not. Seeing as mosst dont look at the stickies for rules etc

There's a difference between being "noob friendly" and catering to the minority of what is already a minority. Let's not forget XDA's origins as a DEVELOPER site. The directions provided by devs are almost always complete enough that anyone willing to put in 5 minutes worth of effort to use the search button is able to figure it out.

I agree that we shouldnt be spoon feeding people. I have gathered knowledge in android and developing massivly over the past few weeks. And i have xda to thanks. Already a senior member and learnt so much more than what i could have ever imagined.
Android is the future! And xda is playing a big part in molding its future. So a massive thumbs up!
I did however encounter some very rude members how could have easily directed me to the rules sticky. We do not need noob Q&A. We jus need to give polite gentle nudges in the right direction, if they are just plain lazy...
Throw em in with the pack of bitter xda "originals" for all i care. as they are branding xda as a "fix my fone" forum. Not as what i hear it was back in the day..

canonical announced the Ubuntu for phones yesterday for the nexus devices..........
so... will the developers port it to Xperia.......
This thread being a general discussion thread on the availability of Ubuntu for phones for Xperia...... lets start the discussion....... you've got anything to share about..... just go on.....
and lets keep hoping for it to get ported to our dear phones... Cheers
Sent from my WT19i using Tapatalk 2
It cant be ported just like that, nor will the 2011 phones be able to run it. Its not android, its a brand new operating system.
Wrong thread..its development section not discussion
Lol...there is already 2 threads in general forum about the same topic.....search before posting anything....
Dev forum is not for discussions...

Hello
Wanted to introduce myself to the S4 community and say that I have gotten so much out of this site, and by happy accident even found this.
Back in 2010 I had a droid X that I rooted, only for the sake of over-clocking. I have been building PC's and hackintosh's for years and thought overclock was the only reason to root...
fast forward to years, and I ended up selling my galaxy s3 for cash plus a Galaxy Nexus.I had to switch to the iPhone for work, but like having a backup phone. The first time I powered on the Nexus I saw a lock that was Unlocked on the bottom. well, like the Most of you. The rest is history!
I became a root a holic, and tried everything from A o sp, to sorcery, too paranoid, Exedra Exedra Exedra.
because of work I am forced to use an iPhone, but I saw a deal on Craigslist for our galaxy s4 and couldn't pass it up.
As of now I am running hyperdrive with the WalletPatch, and LMT pie controls.
I look forward to getting my 10 posts in so I can begin to help the rest of the community in any way possible.
I love this forum, and the proof is on the home screen as I have an XDA chrome shortcut right there.
my first, and only, question in this post is; is it worth buyingvthe app?
Buying which app? The XDA app? If you frequent multiple forums then I would just buy Tapatalk. Or you could buy both just to support XDA.
I don't see myself posting anywhere but here. I used to be a forum whore, but I quickly got sick of debating 16 year olds as to why I shouldn't buy this turbo for my evolution X. Still have my Evo, but don't partake In anymore witless banter.
with that being said, will the xda app provide better usability in terms of interacting with the forum, and its content.
I'm sure this forum has the same three basic rules that any other forum has, if you Don't want to be a perpetual newb, those three being; search, search, and search

The XDA app doesn't like it when your on WiFi. You get errors all over the place. It does however work great on 4G/3G. I have the app for my phone and the HD one for my tablet. I also have tapatalk.
I'd say buy the app. You get a really nice forum experience with better navigation and no need to zoom in on the page. I never have a problem with the app on WiFi. There's also a free version if you don't want to buy pro. Pro, it would seem, is mostly out there to support the site, as there aren't a ton of feature advantages.
Thanks, I ended up buying tapatalk, and downloading xda from play

Good choice. The xda app is the same as tapatalk. Tapatalk has a bunch of forums and xda is only one. Tapatalk for the win.

hi, just bought this gadget and would like to tell me what is the best rom to upgrade my S3 :fingers-crossed:
Hi. Im not flaming you mate and understand that you may be new to xda developers forum's. It's generally frowned upon in these forums to ask which is the best rom or who is the best developer etc. I'd like to suggest that you first read the forum rules and then try each of the roms that look like they might suit your needs. Only you know what you want and what works for you.
