Posting in development threads - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm testing the new 2.3.3 sense ROMs, but I can't post in dev threads (not posts enough) to help Erasmux and JieeHD fixing issues.
I think I have to reply some questions and help some newbies before I can post.
So here I am. Questions are welcome...

What problems are you having?

I couldn't post on dev threads because I had not at least 10 posts on "normal" threads. Now it's OK, I've already posted on Erasmux thread.
I haven't tested your ROM yet, but I think I'm gonna flash it this w-e to compare with the wlidfire S port.

Unless you're actually developing something then no.
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.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

Soft bricked my phone

Ok, I downloaded a custom kernel via the ROM manager app on the Vibrant's stock rom. Since then, haven't been able to do anything. It still can into recovery mode. I made a back up but that hasn't work.
Plus the boot screen changed. It says the usual Galaxy S logo but along with that, it now says GT-I9000 below that.
Any ideas on what should I do?
Odin back to stock. Tut is in the stickies. Always do your research fist.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Were you running 2.1 when you flashed this new kernel?
I accidently clicked on download vs cancel when I was browsing around the custom kernels section. Oh god I hate Odin.
Yes it was 2.1.
Do remember what the kernel was called? It was probably a 2.2 kernel. Which will wang the phone. Just download a 2.1 kernel and flash it. BOOM.
Thinking of posting a new thread???

I did the exact same thing when I tried installing Eugenes Gingerbread rom. I got the I9000 boot screen and then nothing on my phone worked. Many error boxes popped up. I was able to apply my backup I created though and everything worked fine.

Honeycomb 3.2 Section...

Because questions are NOT allowed & no one has talked of it much I am starting this thread so that anyone w/ HC32 progress can post it here...
Any links, walkthroughs, roms, code, kernels, anything relating to the development of HC3! on the NT please post here...
Thanks...
The development section is not the place for general discussion.
Rest assured that if anyone has a ROM/kernel to post they won't struggle to open a thread for it.

#1 thing wrong here:
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.
#2 thing wrong here;
This is the General section all Questions and request for assistance belong in the Q&A section.
Please familiarize yourself with the XDA rules located at the very top of every forum section.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your future cooperation.

Mod installation

Hi,
I'm new here and can only imagine how many time seniors seen that sentence... But I've got huge problems with basic stuff.
For instance:
I've found this lockscreen and don't understand how to install it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148339
Tried using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144464
Doesn't work
I'm on a rooted LT18i stock ICS.
I'd really appreciate some help.
PS I'm pretty sure there is aguide somewhere here but I couldn't find it
I'll use this thread to ask some other questions as I go if that's allowed.
