Hello I'm a newb and I want to know the basics on roms and kernals and I would like to developed some roms and apps. Can someone point me to the right direction or perhaps mentor me? I'll like to produce quality work. So please help. Thanks.

Gonna be an influx of new users like yourself since the Vibrant has been a work horse. Best thing to do is read, read, and then read some more.

Thank you for the info guys. I hope I become a great developer like you guys. I really want to do some simple project until I get use to the understanding. Looking forward to building my first anything.

I wanted to beta test as well... but tryed using the kitchen to port sensation roms, tried a few now.. cant get anything shaking. Clockwork tells me it expects 4 args and got 3 args. If anyone has any ideas or pointers i would much appreciate them! We could get this thing going with the know how!
Im always up for being a beta if you need one.
Does anyone have a possible ETA for when this will be released

Useful Tutorial on Rooting Your Android

Hello XDA Forums!
I've been a new member here on these forums. Just letting newer users know that I found a helpful tutorial on YouTube that helped me root my phone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSi5ssAWFAk
It was broken down into three posts, which I found extremely helpful. Not sure if others in the community will find it helpful!
Enjoy!
I'm sorry but it is people like you that annoy me. Calling every Android phone a "Droid" is stupid at best.

In return, its people like you who annoy me. I try to share something useful I found. Then, some 12 year old flames me on it. Grow up kid.

I didn't know sprint sold Droid phones. Where can I get one? Lol NA but thanks for trying

But really you should change the title from droid to evo vuz newbies might not know u meant evo when it says droid
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I get where they are coming from...it's annoying to see Verizon's branding turning into the general term for any Android phone. It confuses things and helps a crappy company define the market.
That said, it's a common thing and no need to break balls over it.
I will change the title of the thread. Thank you for the helpful suggestion. This guide just helped me root my phone!

Wrong recovery file flashed

Hey,
In a rush to install custom roms I think I have made a little bit of a boob.
After flashing the CWClockworkmod onto my device then realising it was locking up after entering recovery mode, it appears that I have flashed the mod for the 9500 rather than the 9505.
My device works perfectly however it just won't go into recovery, have I screwed it up or can I just flash again with the correct file for this phone providing the is one?
Thanks

wrong forum, this is the Galaxy S 4G, not the S4.
LOL, not only wrong forum and device, but wrong section too, posting a question in development forum. XD

What do you want us to do, find the right forum for you and find the right way for you to fix your phone, and then come over and fix it too? Most of here know nothing about the S4, so I'm not sure what more you expect by posting in the wrong forum.
The things I want to say to you will not comply with the xda forum rules... if you have absolutely no clue about forum rules and sections, no clue distinguishing 2 (basically 3) different devices and have no idea how to behave, why should anyone want to help you?
