[Important] - Development Thread Titles!

Hello all,
Firstly I would like to introduce myself, I am the newly appointed Forum Moderator for this forum and hope together we can keep this place clean and a great place to develop!
The first thing I have noticed is thread titles are pretty inconsistent, many lack key information a use might need to know and this makes it not very easy to scan through the forum and find what your looking for.
Hence I would like to introduce Development thread title structures
The layout is simple enough, and I ask ALL developers to move to this new structure as soon as possible to help keep the forum tidy.
The structure is as follows:
[TYPE][ANDROID VERSION][NAME][OTHER INFO][DATE]
[TYPE] - Here you would enter if you thread is a ROM, or Kernel or Mod etc.
[ANDROID VERSION] - Version of android you thread is based on or for (If a ROM this could also include the base ROM used i.e CM10)
[NAME] - The name of your ROM/mod
[OTHER INFO] - Anything else you feel users want to know before entering your thread
[DATE] - The date or the last update/release/change of your thread
An example of this format would be:
[ROM][4.2.2 CM10][Zac's home grown ROM of coolness][Now with extra cool!][22/03/13]
If developers could please change their current threads as soon as possible, and all threads made after this post should conform to this layout!
Thank you

[Q] Help with CM themes

Hi All!
After searching around and trying to understand how the CM themes work I have come to a point I don't really know the answer to.
As I am not fluent in any tech speak in terms of coding, I am unsure how to answer this myself by looking up the templates on git-hub and such, and as internet searching has failed me, I wanted to ask; where do CM themes store their media? this is regarding the fact that an individual wanted to copy or view such media through a file explorer or whatnot.
So if someone can just tell me how to get to the media inside a theme-pack, i'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance for any help

Need help porting custom ROM

Hi to all! I need some help in porting a custom ROM for my device, a Lenovo A328. It has an MT6582 chipset. I already downloaded a ported CyanogenMod ROM for my device, and I saw some imperfections.
My phone doesn't have an auto brightness sensor, but the ROM has one. Can anyone teach me how to eliminate that feature?
And, the settings app for this ROM has many unnecessary features that my phone doesn't have, like capacitive button backlight (my phone's buttons have no backlight) and so on. Do I have to decompile the settings app or do I have to modify something else?
Please help me I really want to create a near-perfect ROM for my device since all the other ROMs didn't fit my taste and had many imperfections like the ones stated above. The forum that created that ROM is Russian, and I have already asked for help from them in the past, and they didn't understand me since they know no English. I do have ported a few ROMs already, but I would only classify the as dirty ports, since I just edited the necessary files like the build.prop and copied off the rest.
Please help me, I'm a fast learner and I'm willing to learn.
Thanks in advance

[Q] Some basic questions about developing

Hi guys I am new here and I wanted to start programming apps for Android devices. I have some simple questions and I hope you can answer them:
1. In which language do I need to programm in Android Studio? Java or C? Or doesn't it matter?
2. Is there a list where you can find the special comments you need to develop for an Android because programming a programm for a PC is much different than programming an App for a Smartphone (for example a special command line for using the touchscreen)
3. Where can I find source codes from Apps which already have been published because I think looking at source codes from other Apps is the best way for learning.
Thanks in advance guys

Anyone?

Android Guide or Information Sources

Hi all,
I have a rooted phone and flashed many files and installed many apps but I don't not have a fundamental knowledge on Android. When trying to research I only find "developer guides" with the aim of building applications however I would rather understand what Android is ? What flashing files do? Why we flags .IMG files? What Google framework is ?
Totally random questions but they came to my mind. If anyone understands what type of stuff I'm talking about please share.
