Good move on putting yourself out there, but may I add something? If you're looking for work, paid or otherwise, don't limit yourself. By asking for only "ROMs or threads that are well known or have some decent amount of views/users", you're setting yourself up to fail. I can almost guarantee you that any large development project already has it's graphic taken care of. Instead, why not offer your services to smaller/less known devs? Not only is this good because a) you actually stand a chance of finding work, but also b) because, whether we like to admit it or not, we as people are shallow; we base things off the face value. We do judge books by their covers, both consciously and subconsciously. You can have the best ROM in all the lands, partnered with the fastest, smoothest kernel that delivers crazy battery life, but if you've got banners, etc. done up in MS Paint, you're guaranteed to instantly lose a tonne of potential users.
I can't tell you how many times I've left a thread thirty seconds after viewing it, because the banners, logos, text, and everything is simply downright hideous. If reflects, if you can't even bother to make your work look good, what does that say about your effort in your development? At the same time, I've tried a lot of different ROMs, kernels and apps simply based off their looks/screenshots/logos, etc..
Try to get over who you want to work for, and start thinking about who would accept your work.

Big Thank you to all Contributors!

These devices right out of the box just don't seem ready for market. Whether its some draconian bootloader not letting one install the ROM he wants or tweaks and settings that arent right, out of the box they leave quite a bit to be desired.
But then i comes the people of this board. As i read through the extensive wiki and went through the process of flashing new ROMs on my Hermes I really came to appreaciate the MASSIVE amount of effort put in by this community in order to allow this PDA to really live up to its potential.
So thank you to all the contributors! I couldn't have even begun this process without your help.
i agreee with you
Me too. You folks are great!!!
ditto!
I would probably have sent this thing back were it not for sleuth255 and mikechannon and goestoeleven and others working on this forum.
fortunately htc has this free resource to fix their buggy phones.
i'm still eagerly awaiting the 8525 aku3.3 update. cingular had said it was due out by feb 1st, but here it isn't. maybe it will be soon. I still wake up with a locked up phone pretty often.
thanks to all of you that have helped make this feature rich thing useable.
wes
Thank you and I too like this community

I agree with all the accolades given. I looked on this board before I bought the phone so I was prepared for what it was not when it came. I had also downloaded all the goodies and was ready to make it the way I wanted it. But since then, more and more things were discovered and shared. Right now, this phone is almost just right. There are a couple of things I am waiting for the new ROM to resolve, but it is currently the best device I have had yet.
As soon as a better toy comes out, I will quickly jump ship and take that one, but only if it has the kind of support this forum gives.

Just a thought

What is it with some of the owners, and developers of the MT3G? Seems in every active thread that we have people bickering, and nit picking each other. I don't know if this is going on in the other forums, but really is it called for? This phone already has a lack of development. The damn G1 gets more attention fro developers than our phone and that is about a 3 year year old phone.
I appreciate all the developers that work on our phones trying to keep those of us without the funds to buy a new phone busy with new ROMS, Themes, Ports and whatever else.
I agree, and patience is a virtue... which nobody has evidently.
I appreciate everything that the devs and other members do here, I'm not smart enough (Yet) to do my own deving so I'll be happy with whatever anyone puts out with no *****ing or complaning.
What ever happened to respect?
When the G1 dropped I was one of the first couple thousand owners shipped, I was rooted the day I found this site, and flashed a new ROM every freaking day it seemed. There was a fury of activity over there, and even there was a little bit of this going on. But then it was more so noobs not reading and asking questions and bugging the developers. We lost a couple great developers from those beginning days, but also spawned new talent.
We all have a common goal here. To push our phones beyond anything the manufacture thought possible (look at what the G1 is doing) But it seems all we are doing is trying to knock each other down.
I wish I had the time to rehash some of the programming skills I have lost over the last couple of years due to the closing of my computer and the opening of a HVAC company. Sense that is not an option I rely on the developers here.
I would love to see this phone brought back to life.
Just to add to this, if you ever see a post you are not happy with, or is what you believe to be nit-picking, flaming, trolling, abusive, rude etc... Use the report a post button and it will be flagged for me or a senior moderator to deal with.
For those of you who don't know what the report button looks like.

Share your thoughts about available Roms

Hi there
I have made this thread because the differences between the Roms around are not quite clear to me. I am now on Auras2.7 (LB) I like it a lot but I am wondering about the differences between stock based custom roms for our XZ's. Is it only theming or has anyone noticed any (big) differences?
Furthermore, are Auras mods like circle battery, metalic animated backgroud etc compatible with other roms? These mods are the only reason I hesitate to try other Roms out. Before Auras I was on KA till his first XZ was broken, but now Auras bought a HTC One all chances are open for a new favourite .
Any thoughts? Please share your opinion and your experiences in comparison to other Roms.
ps. Switching between roms is nothing personal I am very grateful for all the nice stuff these developers bring to our devices:good:
Comparison of ROMs is not allowed in XDA as far as i know.
It's always better to check the available ROMs in the Development section and see what suits you best. If it's about the working MODs only then may be fine, let's not go the performance issue.

I do not see what's wrong with sharing feedback and compare roms with eachother as long as everyone is respectful and grateful to the developers. Some people like to have powerfull roms, some like a long lasting battery and to some the aesthetics are the most important what's wrong with discussions about that? I think such a thread can be very usefull for end-users as they don't have to try any rom (there are quite a few atm luckily) and for developers because they get more objective end-user feedback and know what is most important to them. If it is not allowed and anyone have a good explanation for it I will remove this thread or mods can remove it if they like.

^lol, but seriously 700 posts and still dont know whats doin.
If you have ask, then I'd say no. A rom is not worth it. If you do your homework instead, then you would already know the answer!
It's like saying do you need to modify a car, probably not. Taste for me has no limit
sent from my s5 you 'Mirin?
Mods please move this post. OP is not following the rules...
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium HD app
first i know its wrong section and this will be likely closed rather than moved but anyway.
installing a rom is you choice, i dont have the s5, but if i had i would do so, dude on this soc, this thing lags while scrolling lists and changing homescreens (wtf?) and animations are normally choppy (i used one for about a week). also i dont like touchwiz ui, for me, touchwiz only in note series.(but i would keep in mind a custom stock, since some features are usefull, and the camera app is really good)
If going custom wasn't really worth it, we wouldn't have had XDA. This places exists for the sole reason that someone somewhere thought that his device could do that extra mile, just with a little tweaking. We would have never reached 5.6 million members here if people did not agree to that sentiment.
However, to each their own. If you are happy with your current setup, there is nothing wrong with that. Stay stock or stay custom, the choice remains yours.

Hi @jenneh just wanted to say thanks for your commitment and that you contribute to the somewhat dusty nvidia area to keep alive.
The shield is such a cool device, what you could not do everything with it.
Unfortunately, I personally lack the time and the know-how to bring the whole thing something forward.

Thank You So Much Dear~! I completely understand the lack of time part, it's kind of what motivated me to start writing things down and figuring out ways to automate more and now I am working on the "delegate" part xD
I do agree that the shield is Really Neat! It's the perfect little android box, for myself at least, to play and learn to hack with.
Nvidia at Least Tries to make it easier to get Root than others but it still could be easier XD
I found out the Answer! I think this was a mis-spelled image and was actually supposed to be "dtb.img" If anyone else would like to learn more about what this dtb.img is for, see this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/learning-about-the-boot-img.4516537/
Well now I'm not so sure bc this article
Android Verified Boot (AVB) - postmarketOS
wiki.postmarketos.org
I don't know right now if dtb and dtbo.img are the same thing, all I know is it is related to AVB android verified boot which absolutely is engaged on both the STOCK and DEVELOPER firmwares. I will absolutely be back whenever I find out for sure what it all means
Praise the robots. ChatGPT was able to explain once and for all
I wasn't intentionally looking for this answer but it appeared. Finally. Haha.
Also, the robot told me how to turn the avb off. Will try that later but know that it is able to explain that if you would like to try
