Database Develop

[Q] Why is everyone posting into the Development section?

[Q] Why is everyone posting into the Development section?
it's so extremely annoying, having to filter through tons of junk posts that should be in Q&A or General instead of actual Development question
if this goes one might suggest to enable the option "By Invite Only"
so that only Dev people will can access it, and other XDA members can access it only if invited by a Dev.

The answer to your question is several fold:
- First, some people don't read and/or don't care where they post.
- Second, there are some that think that the Development section is the only place to get answers to questions when that section is for Rom Development only and any closely linked technical conversations revolving around that topic.
- Third, which appears to applies to new users in particular, they google externally to the XDA site for an answer to a problem, their search results drop them straight into the Rom Development forum, they don't quite find what they are looking for and then proceed to post a question where it does not belong.
Our moderators work very hard to keep the fora tidy; however if people will not support that activity by posting in the right place then we end up fighting a losing battle.
I have 3 suggestions to help improve the situation:
- First, that you report any threads that are in the wrong fora so we can move them.
- Second, you all take time out to educate offenders yourselves, especially repeat offenders, on the benefits of posting in the right place.
- Third, people get into the habit of posting in the right fora first time and, whenever required, use google search to see if their question has already been posted and resolved BEFORE posting another thread.
I hope this is helpful.
Kind regards,
WB (XDA Moderating Team)

Do we have enough moderators or need more. I moderate on another forum and would be happy to throw my towel in if needed.

same, previously Mod of the now defund mytreo.net and, legit FlyFF USA MMORPG and some other lesser known forums.
the only problem of being a Mod, you have less time for everything else

Gents/Ladies,
Good quality people with a mature, adult approach to life, good decision making skills,an open mind, conflict management skills, a proven track record of positive help and support of this community and, above all, a great deal of common sense, are always welcome.
We have over 2 million users on here and an awful lot of fora so think carefully before you commit yourselves. However if I have failed to frighten you off please feel free to pm me and we can take it from there.
We have a defined process that we go through. Please be aware that an application does not guarantee that you will be accepted.
WB
PS: We undertook a massive cleaning exercise yesterday in the development forum. You should find it a lot cleaner than it was yesterday.
We still need your help to spot items that should not be in there and report them. We also need you to help implement the suggestions in my post above.
WB

Smooth Android version needed

Hey guys, I own an HTC TD, WM 6.1, I need a smooth working and fast android version (With "how to insatll" please ), I've installed XDAndroid 2.2 and it's very slowly + Almost everything isn't responding + whenever I enter to Storage card it says I need an SD Card, can some one help me ASAP please?
Thanks
P.S1: I'm sorry if I posted this on the wrong sub-forum
P.S2: I really busted my ass searching before posting this, to let you know

Is this forum dead or something? I posted two topics in the last three weeks and no one answered or helped me, come on guys, I really need help!

Close this topic. I already solved my problem on another forums, they replied the day I posted.

Thread Closed
Well, this device is in the Legacy & Low Activity Devices forum for a reason....also "best/fastest/smoothest/mostest ROM" threads are generally discouraged as there is no one right answer for all people. It really depends on the user's individual needs, so no one can answer it correctly for you but you. Try various ROMs until you find the one that is the best for you. Thread closed.
Thank you,

Looking for a stock rom with unlocked tether

Can anyone suggest a good stock rom with unlocked tether?
I am planning on rooting and not familiar with any of the at&t development since I have a Verizon phone. This is to help out someone else.
Thanks

First thing is Questions and request for assistance belong in the Q&A section not General.
Second thing is XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

Have a great day!

How can I get my Device LG LS660 Listed on XDA-Devs Page/Forum?

Hi,
I was wondering how to get a Section on the XDA Forum made for the Virgin Mobile/Sprint/Boost LG Tribute LS660 device and have our devices listed at the top of XDA Devs where it says "Type to find device".
I love this forum and have for years. Only recently have I gotten really involved. Specifically in the development on the LG LS660.
A lot of development has taken place over the last few weeks in the LG Android community.
From this thread we have been making great developments...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lg-tribute-development-t2953342/page98
Within this thread @jgkim @Unjustified Dev and I found things in our device that led to rooting our phones and then almost every other unrootable LG phone out on the market.
Here is @Unjustified Dev 's guide he wrote up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
From that guide @avicohh scripted up a one click method here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
And now I have a Q&A + Tips thread going to try and keep our development thread going.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/vm-sprint-lg-tribute-ls660-f60-t3059635
So with all this development how can we get our own section on XDA-Development made? It would be greatly appreciated to get this going stronger with a little more organization. Plus it would just be nice to see our devices listed!
Thanks for your time if you read this, Cheers!
 @high247

Can someone point me in the right direction of who I need to talk to, to make this happen? Thanks!

This is the correct thread to post in for such requests:
