- Post in the appropierate thread
- Include which step you are actually trying to do and how you attempted it

The best piece of advice is, this probably isn't the website for you... Hop on over to androidforums.com... They are more for your skillset..

kinda hard to sync a non-sense rom to a program that is designed for htc sense ROM's (overlay)
and all of these questions belong in the Q&A forum, and it's already been posted there several times..

Well, I see no problem with making threads like this, providing you are too stupid, simple, or purposefully annoying to use the SEARCH on this site. Or google. Either goes for such as simple question.
But when looking through the catagorys in the Hero forum... what does it take to ignore the "General" "Questions and answers" even "apps and themes" forums and head straight for the "development" forum, to spam your stupid, easily self answerable question that is clearly not anything NEAR development... on the forums that is reserved for DEVELOPMENT ONLY and clearly states this in one of the stickies on the top.
Are people like this created purely to annoy and frustrate others?

EDIT: In order to make this post have some purpose other than ranting (fun as it is) may I please direct you to the thread entitled
[REF] G2 HERO ANDROID DEV | GUIDES | STICKIES | Please Read & Leave Suggestions Here
at the top of this board. Yes, the one that says "Please Read" and includes tempting words like "GUIDES".
Another interesting thing about this thread is it contains a link entitled
{REF}Complete Newbie Guide to Root & Install a Custom Rom by btdag
Does this not look like it may answer your questions and be relevant to your interests?
I will also point you to this other interesting page I "found"
Google: Root HTC Hero
This magical page contains a whole 320,000 links that may be relevant. Indeed, a quick glance on the first of many pages shows 6 "guides" that MAY answer your question. Also 2 videos! Right there! I hear noobs looooove videos, as they tend to have difficulties reading detailed and well written instructions.
Cool stuff eh?
The internet sure is magical...
(yes, this was a little slaying, and yes, I get a little sarcastic when I'm pissed off)

i like this thread more and more )

To site admins and mods, move this topic or lock it please. Wrong place and it has been brought up more then once.

cool stuff! ;-)

Brilliant : )

There are numerous stickies to read here, and there are many better thread titles than "hiiiii". Allow me to assist you in picking a more descriptive one.

Moderator announcement

Use the Smartphone General forum for GENERIC posts, hacks, tutorials, questions!
If you have a question / tip / hack / trick also applicable to (most) other Smartphone models, please PLEASE post it to the brand new General Smartphone forum. Few Smartphone users check out the forums of other Smartphone models and, therefore, your questions / tips / other stuff will be read by a LOT more people if you post it to a general forum than in just a model-specific one.
As has already been pointed out, everything should be posted to the new General forum that isn’t ONLY related to the particular model. Some examples of what should be posted to the General forum and what should stay in a device-specific one:
posts like “the HTC Vox (s710) has a very bad-quality rubber cover” (example HERE and HERE) should stay in the device-specific Vox subforum because it’s (currently - we'll see how the forthcoming HTC Wings fare in this respect) only the Vox that is affected by this problem. The same stands for problems with the bootloaders of a given model or specific ROM upgrades, ROM versions, unlocking etc. only applicable to a given model (and nothing else).
posts like Live Messenger CAB’s (example HERE), OpenVPN hacks (example HERE), Adobe Flash hacking (example HERE) etc. should ALL be posted to the General forum because these hacks, information etc. can be used on (almost) ALL Smartphone models.
if you have a question that you feel can be answered by other Smartphone users, do NOT post it to a device-specific forum, but to the generic one. Generic questions are “What Web browsers should I use?”, “How do I configure my e-mail client?”, “How do I install Flash on my device” and so on. ONLY post questions like “What about ROM version X.Y for Smartphone model XY”, “How do I enable HSDPA in model XY”, “Where should I get WM6 for model XY”, “I have problems with the rubber covers of my Vox”, “My Excalibur’s buttons are hard to press” – that is, questions you’re absolutely sure about belonging to model-specific forums.
Also, make sure you continuously monitor the forum because I’ll post a lot of brand new Smartphone-related information in there.
Again and again,
POST ALL your questions / tips / hacks in the General forum if you find it can also apply to / answered by the owners of other Smartphone models
frequently visit the new forum for new tips / questions and, last but not least, my tutorials / roundups

Totally, I put a hit out on you, I want these forums all to myself (Also sneaky mod edit)

XDA combined effort ??

Hi forum.
I have been thinking about a thing.
As the hardware and software to some extention is similar in many phone brands, is there then some kind of a combined XDA effort to do the different tasks ??
It would be a shame if there over at eg. HTC Legend is sitting 200 NAND experts, or at Samsung S is 25 bootloader specialists.
Or if the best DES-crackers in the world only are reading HTC Desire HD.
So my question is:
Is there at XDA some kind of a combined effort, some form of sharing information?
Perhaps the XDA-Moderators could set up such a system if it is not here allready.
A system for us to combine the knowledgement of all devs here at xda...
So in fact mutch MUTCH more than you, who only use your time in the forum to play police...!
- we actually have people to do that, and they are doing it fine without you...

Post What Where:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.
Rom Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
Themes & Apps - anything to do directly with the development of themes and/or applications. Nothing else goes in here.
MOD EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.

Pretty sure x10 user is correct. I can't see that you are actually developing any software to improve our phones. And as to him playing police, get over it obviously you dont like being corrected. X10 user may be a little blunt with people these days, but when you have to keep saying the same thing over and over to different people it gets old. He may not be a mod, but this is the sort of self policing this forum needs to get organised.
Well done x10 user

Thanks! I am direct, and make no bones about it, if people want to interpret that as being rude for pointing stuff out that's their issue.

Look bro, did you have been a noob before?
Did you get a new device and something goes wrong? And you go crazy for help?
It´s normal that people get nervous after spend a great amount of money and then need urgent help...
I know that are some threads that could be deleted but for that we have a moderator.
Greetings.

No offense mate,but this is no excuse.There is a reason why in top of most tutorials writer says read everything & understand before doing.Besides when you buy something expensive before doing something to it researching lot if good for yourself and your wallet.Even I got my 1st android 4 weeks ago and after 2-3 days I got no idea what even was a boot loader.But reading articles in forum helped me a lot.Using search and reading extra is not that hard anyway imho.Also about the moderator I don't think he get paid or something to moderate the forums,so as members I think our duty is support the moderator by not posting every time when we hit a brick wall when it is posted in the section how to get pass that brick wall without damaging
I'm not talking about all of the posts,I'm talking about some I saw which questions were already answered in few places before.
Yes let the moderators moderate so you can dedicate to development. Yes that is what XDA-developers.com is, all about development. Even general section or Q&A section is about development. Not about customers service, help I brick my phone or I need urgent help please help me threads. Anyway the best way to help is to post in an existing thread so the information can be found easier. Dispersed information helps nobody! If you wish to help Neo & Neo V forum to grow as best development foras (general-Q&A-rom-themes&app) in XDA just click on report button when you see a thread/post not placed correctly so I can do moderate it. And you all can dedicate to development.

With this in mind, please read the OP of every ROM thread FIRST. If a Developer mentions "Please use the Q&A", please do this, or your post may be removed. If the Developer does not indicate the aforementioned, you most likely can post anything (quasi ROM related) within reason.

ETA's (Estimated Time of Arrival) Considered taboo?
Asking for an ETA is the XDA equivalent of telling a Developer that the free work they do just isn't enough for you. It usually comes across as rude and/or demanding, and most developers will take offense to it. Even if a particular Developer doesn't mind being asked for an ETA, there are many that do, and there's a good possibility that it will incite arguments in the forum. In the end, it's just best to avoid doing it altogether. If you have no other choice but to ask for an ETA (i.e. the work you're doing absolutely depends on it), then please, do it through a private message and keep it out of the public forums.

Possible to build a straight media ROM? As in no phone/GPS functions?

Looking to use my new EVO 3D that I bought locally (bad ESN) strickly as a media device...kinda like a mini tablet or Samsung Galaxy S Player.
Is it possible to make a straight ROM with all phone and GPS functions removed completely? Completely disabled and completely missing from the OS as in no options for these functions + no "Phone" at the bottom of the home screen.
Thanks!
so first you post in q+a and get good answers there
and then for some silly reason
you post in the dev section
the answer to your questions are all yes,
carry on (hopefully in the correct subforum) ...
I smell something burning!

My main question was "are there any media only ROMs" and you said what you said in bold above (quoted).
Where are these media only ROMs that you say exist? Thanks!
Actually, you asked if it was POSSIBLE to make a rom like that, not if there are any roms like that. The answer is yes, it is possible to make a rom like that. And to answer the question you didn't ask, no, I don't think there are any roms out there right now like that.
Damn alright calm down...kinda hostile in these parts of the water...feelin the hate!

^ the truth.
I would be a ridiculous amount of work to REMOVE the phone/gps/etc functions from a ROM, seeing as how most devs here use the phone for those features. It would require a LOT of smali and xml editing. I would bet money nobody is going to do this for you, since you can just put it in airplane mode to turn off all the functions you dislike, and of course media will still work at that point. You could get the app titanium backup and try "freeze" for the various phone/gps/etc. type apks so they no longer show up in your system. Also some of the keys (capacitive and hardware) can be remapped to other functions as well (i.e. remap search key to launch music). Not sure what else to tell you.....
