what is the difference between "Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development" and "Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Development"?

Android development is TW ROMs and original is AOSP ROMs

TW development is for modding your stock touch wiz ROM basically.
AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project and that sub is for things related to modding custom ROMs.

TW = Touch Wiz. It's the skin that samsung puts on its phones. ROMs that are based off of it are in the "S 4 Android Development" forum
The AOSP ROMs are what google intended for its users to see. ROMs based off of it are in the "Original Development" forum.

ahh! got it. Thank you!

In other device sections the non original section is also used for ROMs that are kangs or tweaked versions of released original roms. Basically not just touchwiz

Original dev is for any software which incorporates significant original work. Non original dev is for software in which the author incorporates only minor changes.

I understand it but it drives me insane. hated the day they started that

NO!
The answer is in the stickies on top of both sections
Original means it was written by the developers and offers something unique.
Any AOSP clone or CM clone goes in regular development.
Only the original CM, AOSP, AOKP, PA, MIUI releases go in Original development

Its still dumb. Its annoying enough trying to find a rom that works with the cryptic thread titles without having to look in two seperate forums IMO.

Why it was done was to reward developers and teams who spent weeks writing 1000's of lines of code to build a unique ROM or bring one to that particular device. It separates those particular ROMs and should provide a higher end of user and more professional environment for the developers. This is XDA-DEVELOPERS.com so we pool the developers' needs and requests and do the best to provide the environment they are looking for. Many are under the false assumption this is a support site.

Thanks I sort of lf get it out now. One is just to modbthe touch wiz while the other one is for like aokp cm and other roms right?

its not a support site, what kind of site is it? It has the makings of a support site, Downloads, FAQ, Q&A, Solutions to problems. Just a friendly inquiry.

[Q] ICS ROM

What is the best rom to use on the galaxy note i717?
Thanks
That is personal preference. Everyone here has their favorite(s) but only you can decide what you like. Check out the development section and read what each rom is about. Then like they all say, read them again.
If you search the forums I think this topic is already floating around somewhere.

I wish there was a way to censor this question.

Quick question.

Hi. I'm new to EVO LTE and I kinda look for this answer but couldn't quite find it. Why is there 2 development for EVO LTE?
I have the original black EVO. Do I use the original EVO development? Or does it matter what I use? Thank you in advance.

Original development is for thing like root methods etc., development is for roms and mods based off of stock things.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
There's a sticky at the top of the original development forum that explains everything

It's not a dumb question, it's a dumb system. To have these two development sections separated is just plain dumb. A better division would be roms separate from rooting methods or such. But to distinguish between some roms as being original and some not seems to be very inconsistent. This separated development sections started with the Samsung threads and they can keep it. Give us HTC guys back our single development thread.

Its supposed to be a way to distinguish ROMS & other projects that have significant original work being done from those that are simply modified stock.

But most of the roms in the original development section are just heavily themed and nothing else. Nothing groundbreaking. If you go with the original intent of the separation of development threads than only CM10 would be in that thread,
There's plenty of original development done in those roms/ect

The original Dev section is for development related items and topics that are original work. Not ported roms, re-baked parts etc.
You would find a rom here made from source, such as cyanogenmod, or perhaps an original kernel. Everything else is in the regular Dev section....g

Any 4.3 ROM's for the S4?

I've searched around in the development sections and haven't been able to find an answer to this. Does anyone know if there are any 4.3 based ROM's available or under development?

This belongs in the Q&A.
But no, there are no 4.3 ROMs as of yet.
And yes, they are under development. Hyperdrive is my favorite, and the dev has already hinted at some "4.3 magic" in the next update.
I'm out of it.
I'm thinking VRUAME7.
If you can't find them in the development sections then I'm not sure you should have access to them. The last time I was in the original development section the top 2 posts were both 4.3 CM builds.

Not sure everyone gets that 10.2=4.3, lol.
For that that don't:
10=j=jellybean
10= first major release =4.1
10.1= second major release =4.2
10.2= third major release =4.3
The cm release numbers actually make more sense in some ways.

Hmmm.... what was CM 1.0?
Anyways, yeah, CM 10.2.
I wonder what the GE 4.3 will look like. Has that been released yet?
