android developer as a career? stupid question?

Just wondering how futuristic pursuing development opportunity in android market.
I am currently low level software developer, dealing with software that interfaces directly with hardware. But I want to move away from it. Recently I started doing lot of android development using eclipse. I am eventually interested in doing something related as a career. I am wondering if anyone in this forum does android development as solely for passion or as a career.
Any contribution would be helpful.
getting signed up by a MNC would be good
It is all about ideas. If you have the right idea for a "must have" app you can pretty much write your own ticket. It should be universal enough to have global appeal and cover several generations. If I had the knowledge I'd write something that checks for what leaves the phone/tablet when there are no activities, where it goes and if it can be stopped. Not suggesting that people are paranoid, but the growing dependence on these devices means that people will be more and more concerned about their privacy.

[Q] General Knowledge ROM Question

Hello People,
I have a keen interest in Android and ROMs etc but no programming or development knowledge, just an interest. I've rooted and put a couple of different ROMs on my old HTC Desire thanks to XDA and its community of developers and will do the same with my SGT10.1 as soon as ICS is stable and has a working camera .... Thank you all!
What I'd like to know is what's different between Google releasing ICS and say Microsoft releasing Windows 7? Why can't I go to a shop or website, purchase or download ICS and install it on my device in a similar fashion to installing a new OS on my PC?
It seems to the ignorant (me) that they make life very difficult for the devs on this site and others! I appreciate that this is probably a stupid question, but I would really be grateful for someone to take a min to explain, for example, what happens after the developers get a copy for the ICS open source code and before they/you grace us with a stable build for a device? Why is the completed ICS from Google not suitable to simply install? One reason that comes to mind is device drivers! Maybe I've just answered my own question!!!
Again, thanks for all the hard work ... whatever it is?
Not meant to sound rude, but do you really want to wait a few years between gingerbread and ice cream sandwich, pay a ridiculous amount for it, and still have to update it almost constantly?
The difference is Microsoft and generous developers.
Microsoft makes millions.
Android open source developers get self satisfaction and other things, but very little, if anything, in monetary payment (donations).
I know Google is a huge money corporation, but I would hate to see things go the way Microsoft does things in regards to operating systems software.
There are many technical reasons related to the many thousands of different devices, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment, so I'll leave that to someone else who is.
Actually, I think you did your own question.

Android Developer Recruitment

I am looking for some assistance with recruitment of an Android developer and i was hoping that i may be able to find what i am looking for at XDA Developers.
I am currently looking for an android developer who has perhaps had some experience with machine control, preferably working with bluetooth. The employee would be based in our office in North London and must be able to gain security clearance.
If any of the XDA developers forum are interested then please PM me here.
Alternatively if anybody has any advice on the best way to recruit the above, then please respond to this topic.
Many Thanks.

[Q] Huawei U8520 source code?

I can't find any source on the Huawei web site. As the kernel is GPL licensed, they are required by law to publish it, but where? Does anyone know?
(Don't want to get into a pointless debate about licenses here, suffice it to say that when challenged in court in various countries, the GPL has always been found to be enforceable, which is all that matters here. We can argue the merits or otherwise of various licenses elsewhere, this forum is quite busy enough already!)
Needless to say, I have searched xda-developers first, without success.
This phone is a dual sim model, one sim is 2G only, the other 2G/3G. I think that this is only a software limitation, and it would be nice to have both usable as 3G. Of course, I also would like a later version of Android.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions or info which people here may be able to contribute towards getting the source code.

[Q] SEAndroid spyware of the NSA?

this is a question to the developers here...
in germany there is these days rumours about NSA code in SEAndroid starting with version 4.2. People now fear it's spyware on their phones. also see:
OH COOL I AM NOT ALLOWED TO PLACE LINKS IN HERE AS I HAVEN'T SPAMMED THE FORUMS YET ("To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!")
Now my questions...
Is there NSA spyware in the new android versions? Wo of the devs has experiences here?
If so, are there modded versions without that ****?
Do you have any tips how I can completely disable such "features" like using my phone as a spy-microphone even I don't want this? are there tricks to prevent such?
What tips and trick do you have to keep privacy secret even there might be leaks programmed to the soft?
thx for answering. If you dislike to answer here in the thread, please send me a PM
