Database Develop

Seperation of Rom Development and rom releases

I have suggested in the general forums that the rom development thread be seperated into 2 threads,
rom development and rom releases,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3118192
please browse to the above and let the mod's know how you felel about this.

I am posting this here to get the attention of those that do not read the general section, this is not a multiple post.

Yes this is a multiple post, and accordingly i'll close the one in the general section as this is probably a better place for the discussion.
I think what you mean is separate forums, and that is not likely to happen. There are several much larger forums that have not been split yet. The problem with splitting it is that people usually don't post new threads in the right section anyway. More threads just leaves more places for people to have to look for information. In my opinion it's much easier to skim a couple pages of threads in one forum that have to read separate subforums to find the topic i'm looking for. I think a better solution would be to get everyone to correctly label their threads to make them easier to identify. Or you could keep the wiki updated with the various stock/hacked roms for easy of viewing. Any user can update the wiki after all.

HAHAHA
same here,
what is he talkin bout?

Hahaha, ok what I meant was that because there are not so many threads or roms for X1, it does not make much sense on separating threads to more sections...
REVISED: X1 sections on XDA are so slow that it does not make much sense on making more sub forums at this point... IMHO anyway..

Android on kaiser needs its own forum

Android posts should be separate from WM rom development. Maybe a sub forum in rom development would be appropriate. 1/4 of the threads on the the front page are about android, and the official android thread is no longer updated (it's also almost 700 pages deep.). Suggestions?

Nice thought, but I think that like TF3D on Kaiser, Android is still considered a novelty, no offense, and not worthy of a sub forum
The reason there are so many front page threads is not because of the overwhelming interest, but is because people keep starting new threads with their questions. Two threads on wifi ? Unfortunately, much like the push for good video drivers, our Kaisers will be dead and gone and all the die hards will have Dreams and Heros and Magics long before Android is fully ported to the Kaiser.
I believe the Android thread has already been restarted once because people keep diluting it with redundancy, not new break throughs.

Has Miri Stopped developing roms for our blackstones?

just like the title says, has miri stopped?
i have not seen any new roms over at htcpedia.com and here at xda for quite a long time. ive always been checking for the past 3 weeks and havent found anything new except for HTC LEO roms from miri
anyone know?

Did you really need a new thread for this? Why don't you just ask the question in the current miri threads as surely the users there will know best?

Finding information is hard enough, not least because of folks creating new threads.
It's not like this is even Miri's main location...
Anyway, I suspect the most likely reason for a lack of activity is a lack of upstream software... (no new Sense, or Windows versions of significance (yet))

As per above posts, why did you create a new thread for this? No need whatsoever.
Please read over the forum rules again and post your query in one of Miri's threads
Thread closed

A polite request for knowledge

Now ive potentially duped you into reading my post, i simply wish to know your general views on the xperia t and its dev community here. im coming from an htc desire that has a huge dev section on xda with countless roms to try out, how does this compare?
is the camera any good? have you got jelly bean yet? etc
a sincere thank you to those willing to comment, positively or not
One love

Thread closed. Sorry to put a downer on your thread but all the information you need is in the forums across various existing threads mainly in the General section. You're actually lucky as there's only 5 pages of threads in total in the General section so even if search doesn't work you can see all the threads.
For information about the phone you can look in any of the review threads or I got my Xperia T/TX etc. For the camera there are a couple of discussions with examples in the General section so you can see for yourself how good the pics are (or aren't). For development you only need to look in Android Development or Original Development to see CM10, AOKP, Paranoid Android, PACMan and stock ROM's are available.
Thanks

Hi, fellow S4 Active users
Before starting a new thread, please read this OP.
Now as you may have noticed there are several questions flooding this sub-forum,
that have been asked a million times,
So let us all be a responsible "NEW USER" and not a "NOOB USER"
I know some of us are new and are not oriented properly on how you can maximize your time by using the almighty search button.​
SEARCH BUTTON!!???
Yes, that is correct, the search button...
.
.
No, it is not sorcery or magic,
It is a tool to help everyone out, that is the reason why XDA has spent money making a search engine for us to be more convenient in finding what we seek.
So let us not neglect what XDA has made and let's utilize this search engine,
it is not a benefit, it is a privilege,
For those who don't know how to use it, let me help you.​[IMAGE PENDING]
It is that highlighted spot, yeah, right there. Hey look, yup you found it in your own browser.​
So, tell me the benefits of this so called 'search button' ? I mean, I can just create a new thread and wait for someone to answer it!
Well,
You can find the answer to your questions faster, since not all senior members, RC's are available all the time and some won't even answer you because it has already been asked again.
You'll help other newbies by orienting them about the search button.
We'll have a clean and uniform forum, a perfect community which all of us can enjoy.
Mods will have less headaches deleting posts and threads that are considered useless.
No one will call you noob. (YAY!)
It will reduce arguments and flaming within the thread.
SO LETS KEEP THIS FORUM PROFESSIONAL,
UTILIZE THE SEARCH BUTTON

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD QUESTION...
Stupid as it may seem,
There is a good and bad question.
So, here are some tips.
NEVER EVER PANIC!
i know some of us are new and have no experience with android, and suddenly we did something wrong and ended up bricking our phone.
But please don't post:
"Please help my phone is brick, Im desperate!!!!, help me please, i dont know what to do!!!" (Dont ever do this!)
Do so, but do it in a proper manner:
Make sure you write every detail (about what you did before doing something wrong) and your phone bricked.
"Please help me, I tried to flash XYZ rom and when i tried to install it using recovery mode by Vol Up+Home+Power i get a successful install message, however when i turned on my phone it got stuck on bootloop, can u help me with this?, i tried download mode Vol Down+Home+Power and tried odin too but it does not work"
LIST OF ALREADY ASKED POINTLESS QUESTIONS
What is the best ROM?
What is the best kernel?
What is the best launcher?
What is the best apps for xxx?
Basically these are all dependent on the nature of the user, there is no best ROM, kernel, launcher, app since we all have our own preferences so its endlessly pointless to even make or ask threads.
How to get paid apps?
Paid Apps for Free are known as warez and you can't get it on XDA.
When will ROM/KERNEL XYZ be released?
Any rom/kernel release question should go to the development thread, also its rude to ask for ETA's (estimated time of arrival)
I saw that CM ** is released on XYZ is please make it work
NO, please look at the development thread to get into the real condition of CM ports, if its not here, its not real
X Rom vs. Y Rom
Same reason as asking what is the best ROM, its really up to the user preference

I RECOMMEND ALL NEW USERS TO WATCH THIS
(NOBODY'S A NOOB OK?) ITS JUST FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES
