I think the 1st thing you should learn is read the rules in this forum and post yr msg to the right section. This kind of question should probably goes to Development and hacking.
mod, please lock this thread
Because of my sillyness I posted on a wrong forum. Sorry.

Hello all
would just like to remind you guys that this is a development forum..
So, non-dev posts do not belong here..
and a few reminders..
-keep threads on topic please..
-thank you button is there, so posts like "thank you" without any more content should be avoided
-if you have any issues specific to a project or rom that has its own thread, please post your issue in that thread and not creating a new thread for it.
if there's something i missed/something to be added (ie suggestions) please pm me or any other moderator assigned to the wildfire forums, and you can be a part of making the dev forum a better place
cheers
JJ

There are instructions everywhere on how to flash it. Also, thats an old version, the new KJ3 released today
step 1. dont post questions in dev forum
step 2. ???
step 3. profit
I'll get straight to the point....
Despite stickys and forum announcements most of us are still finding ourselves becoming terribly, terribly vexed at the amount of [Q]'s cluttering the dev section...
Therefore, from now on, if you do not follow the rules outlined below, you will be infracted. Break them again and you may find yourself unable to post anything at all on any forum!!
[Q]Surely thats a bit harsh aint it??
[A]Not really....
We've tried to be nice about it but that clearly doesnt work.
If you cannot read and abide by the simple rules in this sticky then I dont know how you're going to manage to hack your device without running into trouble.
The Dev section is NOT for asking questions.....
The Dev section is NOT for general topics..........
All threads posted MUST be prefixed with a description of the thread, [ROM] / [Kernel] etc etc.....*
*(Not planning on being particuarly strict on this. You guys (the devs), know how to title a thread.... just a pointer for new devs.)
Basically, unless your thread is to actually release something or discuss something of a very technical and n00b unfriendly nature, it doesnt belong here!
Pretty simple really.....
If you see something that shouldnt be here then PM me....
I will try to check in as reguarly as I can but I have a few sections to keep an eye on and believe it or not, a life outside XDA
Yes thats right, there is life outside XDA

This is a direct quote from the sticky at the top of this forum. Read around before you post. This would have been received much better in the Q&A Forum. Because its a question. And nowhere close to a development.
Thread locked. xCRZYx, post your question in the Question and Answer forum. This is development only.
hey this app was supposed to be available with the Official ICS
--- And if I were doing a search before posting this thread I would have found all the information I was looking for........ next time do a search 1st !
~~~~~ THREAD CLOSED ~~~~~
seriously people shouldn't this be there for the official ICS???
This is a development forum. You should post this thread in the Q&A section or the General section. Please read the rules properly. If you do it over and over again, you might get a temporary ban.
If you had just read a little bit ...
This thread is already open and got answers and also has my story app available for download in themes and app section
Folks please comply to the forum rules, there is a general section for generic queries where in you can post and ask anything. It is pretty irritating to see a irrelevant post bang in the middle of custom ROM thread discusion with no value add of any sort. Development Threads are meant for posting hard core discussions on development subject as posted by the operator. Please (and I am making a sincere earnest request) restrict to discusion or value adds on the posted subject only.

Who come up with this QA Bot post ?
it's useless Clutter to the Q&A Section ... The Developers almost never come here so why the QA bot post ?
This area is managed by fellow users and a few friendly developers, you know who you are .
So who come up with the QA Bot idea ? Developers or the Moderators ? Just curious
Agreed!! It's getting kinda annoying now [emoji35]

What I don't understand is why Q&A are still allowed in the main discussion section of DevDB threads even if a Q&A "bot" thread exist. Look at ARHD DevDB main discussion for example, there are still tons of questions asked and answered there every day even if there is a Q&A bot thread here in the "One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" section... I can't disagree when you're saying its's useless clutter.
I understand that the purpose of this change is to make the questions more visible so pple can answer them even if they are not following a DevDB project. This is also to help devs keeping their thread clean by moving the "q&a" part from the main discussion to another location, but this is not working...
So my question is: Are Q&A still allowed in DevDB discussion? If yes why? If no, why members are not redirected to these new Q&A threads?
Thanks for any answer (moderators) :good:

Well having read that thread I see and understand what there hoping to achieve. And for newer development threads I can see the benefits.
But It does seem a bit messy at the moment for threads that have already been running for some time. Taking ARHD again as an example. The main Rom thread is already vast, with an answer for almost every possible question posted multiple time's. How many times can you post "you can't install this Rom with CWM"
But still just a few posts away find "now my phone won't boot, I used latest cwm which works fine with suchandsuch Rom"
Now it has a new Q&A thread where the same questions will continue to be asked by newcomers to the Rom and then answered probably by the same bunch of helpful users. You know who you are . So you make a good point here @alray. Will development threads now be monitored and have all non development related questions moved to the appropriate Q&A?
Putting a link in the main dev thread simply won't work. Let's face it most users don't even read the first page of a Rom development thread before flashing a rom. That's why we see so many repeated questions.
As I say I can see what there trying to do. And if it works I can definitely see the benefits. But to make it work will take a lot of time and effort maybe. (not that I know much about the moderation of forums or forum admin tools, maybe it can be automatically policed some how ) :dunno:

Principle is good but not correctly integrated to the forum imo. They should add some sort of control when posting in a DevDB project, for example, when you click on "post reply" button, this could open a box where you select: "I'm about the post a question/answer" , "I want to post a review" , "I want to post a bug report" , "I want to request a feature" or "I want post something about development of this project" then redirect members to the correct DevDB tab or simply automatically move the post to the correct devDB tab (discussion/features request/Q&A/Bug report/review).
And the dev discussion section could be reserved for RC/RD/RT etc etc as OP's request

I like the multiple choice thing, would definitely be a better approach imo :good: Another thing that sprang to mind after I finished my last post, Unless it is correctly handled, how long do you think it will take for people to start putting the same post in both the Q&A and the main thread hoping to get answered quicker. Not very I don't think.
