Original Dev is for things based on Original Android. Like AOSP or things compiled from source code. The Dev section is for mods, Roms and other development that is not from source.

I9000 Gingerbread Source Released

Don't know if this doesn't belong in the dev section, I didn't see a thread about it yet.
I9000 Gingerbread source is out. Get on those ROM's and reoriented kernels devs!
already posted! General forum... youre too late!
Looking forward to Xcalibrehand as well as other devs' kernels
Thread closed.

Two threads confusing

Why is there TWO developemnt threads. Which is the one to use. Very confusing.
because this makes it easier to find which kind of development your searching for as original mean AOSP,GM9 , KERNELS, miui and other original stuffs and not only zipedited roms like touchwiz roms where the rom maker just added stuff they liked without buildning from scratch
It was done to separate real development threads from photoshop and winzip roms.
Read this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/introducing-original-development-forums-for-more-devices/
And deal with it.
I don't like it, in my opinion. Real dev threads were naturally on the top of the development forums, its not like you had to go digging. Now its just multiple clicks to check on what ROMs are available and adds more forums to the 120341230123 amount of forums on XDA.
wanna know the difference with some funny screenshots? here you go

wrong logic mate!! both developers/cookers contribute to the community just in a different way...
Why checkrom evohd v3 is in original android dev section? It's samsung based rom!
There is only one original and that is Cyanogenmod (they build from scratch). The rest are samsung or CM9 derivates. Correct me if i am wrong

Nope AOKP is also built from source like Cyanogenmod..

You're mostly right, but it's difficult where to draw the line. AFAIK AOKP for instance, also uses the AOSP source code, but incorporates many (if not all) CM9 features. So, is it based on CM9 or AOSP? You see what I mean?
I think it's safe to say that the original developers build their stuff from source (either pure AOSP or CM9 as a base), whereas most other developers use winzip (or extract APK's, but not using the source code). That's why I can understand why Checkrom is in the original section (using a self-made OTA tool). But it's mostly subjective and difficult to judge what goes where...
It is only confusing when it seems that certain roms should be in the opposite section and vice versa.

most of the kitchen roms will end up in original section as it has something unique apart from the samsung rom stuffs

AOKp on our sgs3 is dead
It would be nice if they were named . AOSP based Development, Samsung based development. The mix is all wrong at the moment.

Why is this thread in a development section?
Should be in general

Moved to General, there is a portal post here about the issue.
Keep the discussion on topic and civilized and this thread will stay open.
Running make doesn't make (heh) your work original.
So if I went and grabbed the CM9 repo and built it my subsequent ROM wouldn't be original. If I'd made lots of changes to the source code then built it, it would be original.
How is it you lot struggle with what the word "original" means, I don't get it.
As for whichever idiot said "IT'S TOO MUNNY CLICKZ", what? It's one extra click you numpty.
CheckROM should be in Original. Why? Apart from being the first to materialize Kitchen on ROMS (Kudos to Leomar), the team do also have its own Kernel which is the DarkKnight.

[Q] What are the differences in development threads?

I know this must be a question which has been asked a few times but, what exactly are the 2 different development threads for? From my experience in these forums I know "Android Development" to be roms and kernels based off of stock. But i see Paranoid Android roms in that section as well :S
So what exactly are the real differences. And what are the differences between CM and AOSP? CM was made from AOSP right? :S
If you know the question has been asked before then why not just search?
Cm is made from aosp.

[Q] Is there a NON-TW rom aside from CM for I9500?

I was curious is there were any non-touchwiz(non-samsung based) roms in existence, aside from CM?
I understand the MIUI is also TW based. Is there anything else? AOKP Kang does not appear to have a ROM for I9500. Am I missing any project?
Look for threads in here starting with [ROM]:
