Switching soon - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just ordered a Nexus One. I currently have an EVO and had a Hero with Sprint. Having used Android for a while now I'm growing tired of Sense.
I know much of our reason to root and run a ROM is to get rid of Sense, what's the point with rooting and ROMming an N1? I guess for me the answer could be as simple as "There is no point for me to root." How about you?

The sticky at the top of the N1 gen forum tells you in bold NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS.
Ask them in the Q/A section. Gen section is for news, tips only...

You're right, wrong forum. Can a mod move this please?

Mods: Can we add an Off Topic Section to the Nexus Forum?

I often have questions that aren't directly related to the Nexus One or Android that I would like to ask my N1 brethren, but I don't feel right posting in the Q&A section.
Do people think we need such a section? If so, can we have one?
Go Sharks! Go Lakers! Also, I have some questions about Ubuntu and erectile dysfunction
What about the normal off topic section is not satisfactory to you? Wouldn't a nexus off topic be redundant?
But what happens when the question is targeted to nexus owners but is off topic?
For example: Hey, all nexus one owners out there. Do you find that your phone aids or detracts from your ability to make successful booty calls?

Which Galaxy Tab

Hi guys,
I plan on getting the original Galaxy Tab but before I do so, I wanted to know if it makes a difference in terms of rootability/ROMs,etc...
I will only use it with wi-fi so it doesn't matter to me which carrier it is with but that said I do not want to get the wi-fi only version because I hear it is not as powerful as the ones sold by the carriers.
I personally prefer the Sprint one but that's just because it has the white back but I seriously want to make the right decision for the right reasons. I actually bought the asus transformer but I just love that feel of the galaxy tab in your hand, the way you can type,etc and for some reason I do not like honeycomb. I guess I am old school and just like the phone version of Android on my tab.
I'd really appreciate some inputs.
Thanks
You really should read the forum rules. this is the dev section. Questions go in the questions and answers section.

Thanks, I am aware of the forum rules. I've been around long enough and I know this is the DEV section but my question is kinda related to the developability of this device so that's why I thought this might be a more appropriate section.
If necessary, I'd appreciate if the admins can move it to the q&a section.
Thread should be moved, but I sent you a PM for things to consider when you purchase your Tab. My personal preference is GSM. Hit the thanks button if I helped a brother out.

Well you are obviously not aware of the rules otherwise you would know that no questions of ANY kind should be posted here, development based or not.
This section is for posting or work and reference ONLY!
Questions go in Q&A
Developments go in Developments
Simple as that

Basically, unless your thread is to actually release something or discuss something of a very technical and n00b unfriendly nature, it doesnt belong here!

Fair enough, let's move it to Q&A then
You could have read and posted in my thread from several days ago with the exact same title.

Welcome to the forums.
There is a special section for this phone in the site. I will highly recommend that you visit that section.
On that note, thread closed.

New to SP, looking for possible roms?

Hi all! I just purchased this phone (being shipped in the mail, will have it within a week or two), and I've already been perusing these forums for how to root/unlock bootloader/etc.
As I was looking into these forums, one thing I could not find is the LED strip. Since I do not have the phone physically in front of me yet, I am unsure of how the phone names that feature, so I am not sure what to look for.
Are there any roms that utilize the LED strip at the bottom? Or will I have to stick with stock?
Also, sorry for the double post, I put this in both Android Dev, and Original Android Dev, because I am not sure which this would fall under, mods, feel free to move/delete if it's in the wrong section.
It should be in Q&A...
Use stock 4.3 if you want all the led features, or anything based on it eg: eXistenZ

So let me enlighten you as to how things are done here...
First of all, if you create a thread to ask a question, you create it in Q&A
Secondly, you don't duplicate threads just because you're not sure where to create them!
I notice in your other duplicate thread, that you wanted to argue with other members when they advised you that your thread was in the wrong place...

In other forums on XDA, generally q&a about specific dev options goes in these two subsections. I've seen it, and participated in it, in forums such as Nexus 7, LG Optimus L9, and the Galaxy S2 and S3.

Wrong. The rule is site wide...
If you're in an existing ROM thread in a Development forum, you can ask a question there (if the OP allows) but you do NOT create a new thread in the Development forums to ask a question.
I hope you're clear on this now for the future.

Another bootloader question....

Delete thread please.
Go ask in the 2nd Gen forum, or even read the stickies, you'll get a better answer

Yup. Just realized. Wrong forum. My bad.
