[Q] How can I contribute to development? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I just got the AT&T LG G2, and I would love to subject this device to all kinds of experimental things, though I am not much of an Android developer myself. Is there any way I can help the community out?

You could get on irc freenode #lg-g2

That's the kind of attitude I like to see. Thank you bubby323, you maybe young, but you have a lot of maturity.
Way to set an example.
Id defo love to help out, its too many selfish, arrogant, assholes who dont wanna help out the community and just want fame
This is what we need to see, more people trying to get involved.

If your looking for a good place to start, I would say this would be it. A good dev here showed me this link when I asked him much the same question.

If you like the more, in-depth, manual approach to learning. Below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6738713&postcount=1
first of all get a dedicated irc client, they tend to be soo much better then the all in ones.
second i dont know much about development but i am fairly knowledgeable able all around android
when you get an irc client (xchat ftw) there is a sticky with the required info
Damn... This is some nice info. Now I'll never go to bed. Thanks!
If this was 2 weeks ago... you would have never got this, it seems a happiness has come to the Epic Forums. lol
Now if only we could talk noobnl into staying.
First its how you approach things. Coming on here and demanding a Gingerbread port in 15 minutes is just dumb. Asking for resources... Great. I've saved some on my toolbar for firefox. I have an idea, but want to do more research myself before I cook something up. Its not something I'd personally use, but I know a lot of people have asked for it on here.

XDA/Samsung

Hello Guys,
My name is John, I recently became the social media analyst at Samsung mobile. I wanted to start opening the lines of communication between XDA and Samsung. First I wanted to say I have noticed your work on our devices on the XDA forums. I think you guys do an outstanding job, I myself am a developer for mobile devices. So let’s get down to business, we’re going to be in Austin from March 10-15 for the SXSW(south by southwest http://sxsw.com/convention). I was wondering if any of you guys are going so that we could meet up and share a couple of ideas I have. I am looking forward to meeting some of you GREAT developers!
Thanks in advance,
John

Awesome man, nice to see a hand out.....
any insight on when source will be released?
Did you hear about the #NeverAgain Samsung movement?
Bump, would love to see connections between XDA and Samsung to improve on the great hardware provided by Samsung. Too bad I am in Dallas though...
Very cool to get an official Samsung voice in here.
Want a suggestion? Samsung should pay out bounties to devs who do special things for Samsung handsets. For instance, did you know that Supercurio's work has turned the SGS into a credible audiophile DAP? It sounds better than many dedicated DAP + amp combos, which is extraordinary. Samsung should reward that!

Partnership
Partnership! That's the plan, you guys in my opinion, are the biggest influence to the android community.
If you guys are seriously planning on strengthening the relationship with XDA, take a cue from HTC, and put your source out quicker for us to play with. If you think the devs here are great now, open up that sandbox and you'll see what they can really do.
This is a great gesture though, I hope something great can come of it.
Partnership
Yes, I have been watching you guys work and I must say is very fantastic. I am here on behalf of Samsung to establish a partnership. Do you guys suggest me posting this in the development forums?

Hi,
I suggest you to post a thread in the i9000 section, you've post everywhere except there, while it's the "main" branch of SGS
Does Samsung has planned to implement the wonderful Supercurio's work (like Voodoo great sound improvements) and to work with him?
Edit : I've read your're also a developper, so yes, you should post in dev sections
can you post your @samsung email so that we can verify you are the real deal? not to be offensive, but the internet is rampant with trolls and cons.
Welcome and thanks for joining us. Make sure you check out our devs and themers. There is some amazing talent here. And these guys do this as a hobby!

He's from samsung mobile usa that's probably why he didn't post on the i9000 section.

yes please, please make sure and confirm to someone here that you are the actual Samsung developer, we have many of these kinds of little kids who fake this, and that makes our trust go down on the real people.

New XDA and Continuum user.

Hey guys, I just joined the forums out of looking for Continuum mods, and I decided to join :]
I'm not much on the development side, but I do know a little about rooting, etc. (I've rooted my continuum using SuperOneClick) I'll be happy to help anyone that has any problems with their continuum to the best of my abilities.

new project

Well based on the kick assity of the atrix I decided to upgrade to the Atrix HD. It's rough right now with a locked boot loader and no root but I'm making due. Kind of why I'm posting this. If anyone wants to help with rooting or unlocking on the Atrix HD theres a freenode irc channel #atrixhd-dev. Not my channel, just promoting. This phone is truly awesome and will be even better once we have control of it. Thanks for anyone that's willing to help or even looking at this!
There's an Atrix HD forum for a reason, nobody here really cares about this. :/
One dev from here did try to help. Didn't work out so well. Some of the devs over there are shady, dishonest, reckless, and bricked quite a few devices with their "research". Unfortunately, one of the mods deleted the posts that set the story straight. Be careful over there.
Pretty sure Atrix HD has its own section.
EDIT: Nevermind... Jumping in too late, lol.

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I will start working with the dev that registered this channel on unlocking and hopefully I won't brick my phone XD.

We do not accept device requests

If you have and you want support for it, find a developer with the same device and ask for a port to it. We will not officially support any device outside of oppo/Nexus/OnePlus and begging on here for device support is a futile effort. We will not be accepting or acknowledging any more device requests.
Enough with the posts begging for device support.

People should see if the paranoid android legacy team has support for their device. No idea if they accept device requests though.
Keep up the good work! Thanks for paranoid android, my favorite rom by far.

WTF does a custom kernel have to do with this thread or forum section?
Thank you for being so helpful twt! Should have known with a name like pirateghost it was going to be a non starter. You could have at least made a suggestion! Not everyone has the luxury of sitting on their arses all day trawling through f#£%&& forums for the right #£%%&- answer! I can just tell from your answer that your between the age of 25 and 28 full of self inflated arrogance, what's that you said?? Oh I couldn't hear that, perhaps if you climbed down from your high horse! If you read my post I was very civil, was no need for you to spout ****e! I suppose it was naive of me to expect any help? crawl back out your own arse next time and be civil asswipe!

I'm not the moron that posted a question about a kernel that has NOTHING to do with Paranoid Android, in a thread discussing NO DEVICE REQUESTS.
My response was perfectly sane and not rude. Yours proves you have issues regarding basic comprehension and common sense.
Perhaps you should learn how to use forums and stop lashing out at people asking about your inability to understand basic concepts of human interaction.
It's kind of funny that you seem to think you know me. You don't. My son is more mature than you are.
Oh and I'm locking this thread. If you want to continue to discuss how stupid you appear at this time, we can do so in a PM. Or we can just get a mod involved and have you removed from this forum.
You could have been kinder to begin with if you didn't want the response I gave you. A bit of patience and understanding im a very reasonable man, a point in the right direction would have been the kind thing to do. Clearly you are incapable of that and your response also clearly indicates getting on the defence means you must feel a little guilty about your response. I'm going to do the right thing and apologise to you for getting on my high horse. If you have any back bone you will do the same. And please don't threaten me in the future. There are thousands of forums with very helpful people, just decided to use XDA because the app is actually quite good and convenient. I am sorry for posting in the wrong forum, trust me I will never do it again if crap if what I have to deal with, a complete waste of everyone's time and energy, wouldn't you agree?
There was literally nothing wrong with my first response. There was nothing malicious or rude in it at all. Period. You are the one that got all butthurt about being asked why you were posting a completely unrelated question, in this forum section, within this topic.
Clear ... unfortunately no PA for me ...

Ok.. but Why??
Are you guys going to be supporting the Google Pixel? Just wondering since it's similar to Nexus.
Hello, am new here. Am interested in a custom rom for my Fero pace. I know you don't take requests, but are there ported roms I can use or recommended ones?
Thanks
I thought there was an xda feed post saying PA pie would be released on Moto g5+.
