I posting here because not really sure which place would be best and if i post in dev section to many people would want to flame bc they not workign and bored...
Well my question is why not in the Dev section have each Dev Builder have there own section in there so we don't have to go 10 pages just to find the rom we want from a specific dev?
because that would be even more work for the mods, who already have their hands full with keeping Q&A threads out of the dev forum. Plus, theres already 20+ devs that are active in the dev forum, and the number keeps getting larger.

Please ask questions in THIS thread
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION,This just proves how stupid you are.
For general information go here - [REF] ALL ROMS | ROOTING | FAQ's | STICKIES | POSTING RULES - Read before posting
For Question and Answers go Here
Looking for a specific answer? use this tool
To be continued.....
I wonder if the amount of questions (in development) will decrease if we had a Q&A forum like the other devices...

It probably would! Often people ask a question about rooting, roms etc and think they should put it in development if they don't realise the rules, so a Q&A section would help with that. Not sure if its possible though, I don't even know who would be responsible for it.

I already tried to contact our moderator here both about this mess and about the one in DS section, but so far no answer I guess they are super busy...
I posted in the Site's forum and got someone to sticky this in the meantime! ^_^
Might be a good idea to change this thread, since we now have a Q&A forum
official Roms
hi
thanks for your good job for legend.
i want to ask you question about official Rom that you prepare for legend, what is the basic and mainly different between these 4 official rom?
my legend build number is "3.30.466.6 CL326573 release-key" and with this software number: "3.30.466.6", so what is the different between my ROM and those 4 ROM that you prepare?!!!
thanks for your response
What?! Why is that in this thread?!
If you need to contact someone personally, PM them, there's no rules against that. If you need to discuss something on-topic, find the suitable thread and discuss/search/or if necessary, revive it!
IF YOU NEED TO ASK A QUESTION, THIS REALLY ISN'T, ISN'T, ISN'T THE RIGHT PLACE TO DO IT.
AND THAT WAS THE WORST POSSIBLE KIND TOO. This thread here is STICKIED to inform how and where to ask a question. PROPERLY. It's clear that you haven't read the OP. At all.

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.
Ive been looking for the themes the xperia z had as stock on jelly bean (expecially the Xperia one from the last release, I liked the lock screen from that). I actually had some backed up with titanium, but they will not restore it just freezes.
I searched but found everything but these, are they already uploaded here? If not has anybody got them?
Thanks
Edit: Not used to how questions work, the question section seemed to be restricted in its description but apparently it is not. Can a moderator move this and apologies.

Firstly the question section clearly states "Questions about your Xperia Z operation, performance or specific development questions belong in this forum" and my question did not match this (and aslo doesnt match the General section) so I thought i was doing the right thing asking my question about themes in the Themes section. If I got that wrong then it wasnt because I didnt bother trying.
I would have gladly accepted some advice, informing me they might be in a secion a lot of people wouldnt think about, and seached myself without the need for such an aggressive response. You could even PM me telling me this forum is the wrong place to post and I would have immediately removed the thread instead.

I did read, I already showed you what it says the Question section is for and I used that information to decide how to post. I said in the previous post if I got that wrong it was not because I did not read or care I actually made an effort. If someone makes an understandable mistake while not completely used to the forum atm there is no need to be aggressive about that in your reply that doesnt help anyone.
Its not like I went trolling through the site I just posted a question where it seemed, after reading and checking, was the correct place but it turned out I was mistaken.

I wasnt trying to argue, I was explaining and fully accepted what you said
I have found one thread so far, it has the older version of the Xperia (black) theme unfortunately which has a different lock screen. I'll keep looking but it might not be uploaded. Thanks for telling me which section to look in, like I said I would never have thought to search in it just from the name.

Thanks again.
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.

First of all, this is a question, so it belongs in the Q&A
Yes source was released but as far as I know, not factory images. Its going to be months before anything is seen.

It should still be considered under Development since technically its about development. I do this for other threads posting questions related to ROM developing. And I have marked it as a question so it has every right to be here for ROM devs to give links to their Android L based ROMS if they choose to spread the word.

They're for troubleshooting and device help such as bricks, damaged recovery, etc. I don't need to liter around asking for ROM requests. I want people who needs real help to get help from other devs and I don't want to take their time from helping people from issues with their phone so I made the thread here. For all intents and purposes, I believe this thread can stay here for other ROM devs to make references.

Q&A is what it is, a question and an answer.
It doesn't specify what type of question, and you're fighting pretty damn hard to prove your thread is okay, and I can assure its not. Reardless, I still answered your question, and this thread will be moved/closed/nuked soon, so I'm done.

This is a useless thread in this section... Needs to be moved to Q&A or deleted. As you should see, questions such as this in a development section only cause ridiculous arguments...
