Wish I can post some comment in Vibrant Android Development, But wont let me. I have flash many different rom for the right taste for me and found a perfect one for my Vibrant using Toxic Team RC3 D9
I know I can't reply there yet because I haven't posted enough elsewhere.
Mostdef-You should be able too post in the Dev section b/c you have 12 posts. If not, just PM me any questions about the Toxic ROMs and I'll help you out.
Jirie- Usual rule is you need 10+ post to be able to post inthe Dev section
Ok cool. I appericate it.
Don't post comments or opinions there.. we try to keep it uncluttered with just the dev's new stuff there and its cluttered still so still to this and general forum for those.

Thanks for this post. I was wondering all the time why I cannot comment on ROM's! I've flashed more than 20 times my phone with various ROM's and I have found numerous bugs in ROM's that can help developers to fix and fine tune their ROMs. Now I guess I know why I cannot comment and how I can comment

So I see that google have rolled out froyo for nexus ones now. Will this make it easier for devs to create a hero port and is anyone working on one?
Q& A MY FRIEND NOT DEVELOPMENT! (which is where this will go if its not deleted)
Developers are on the case but its not just a case of google releasing source then BAM! developers release it too,needs alot of fine tuning before release..Follow people on twitter to see progress..koush,cyanogen,villainrom,nprussel,feeyo (if he has one),wesgarner all these devs are working on froyo at the minute..
Please think about the topic before posting,if it is development post here,Q&A post there,Theme or app post there.
Please post questions like this in GENERAL OR QnA!?
There are already threads on this subject. Have a look around before posting next time.
Sorry
Oops, very sorry, feel free to delete or move this.

Is that really working or is it just "in development" still?
Hyao, gtfo, you are a spammer and/or moron.
Well it says RC so I dont think its fully stable yet
Why don't you do two things:
Add "question" to your thread's title so that forum viewers don't burst in excitement as they see a thread labeled CyanogenMod and think that a release candidate is ready for download.
Post questions in the Q&A section. If a CyanogenMod thread is going to be in the development section, it should be about development.
"Builds for each device are slowly hitting the mirrors. ..and before you ask, there's no Vibrant or apps2ext support."

well, this is what cyanogen tweeted..
"Builds for each device are slowly hitting the mirrors. ..and before you ask, there's no Vibrant or apps2ext support."

if you would have clicked on your own link you would realize that you are wrong...wow, I now see why devs leave xda, it's a shame really, us users need to be more aware. the only person (okay not the only) that didn't post his roms here was htc clay for the g1 but someone would post it here "with his permission" not just random post like this one...it's not hard ppl just do your homework before you post something...

Actually it looks like there is a RC0 release foor the Vibrant but it is likely only available for the devs:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8302-the-state-of-the-galaxy/
It appears a reminder may be in order, about the purpose of the development fora on XDA.
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?
I'm a ROM developer, i want to be a developer on xda, how to do it?
develop rom and put them in the development section.. wait until you get some fans.
BAM your a dev
I googled you, if that site is in fact you, then it seems legit once I translated the page.
To even be able to post a reply in the Dev section, you have to have ten posts under your belt. To post a new thread I think is the same. If you take a look in the Dev section here in the Vibrant forum, your rom is already hosted in two other threads. You will be able to host it yourself if you want, and I'm thinking you probably do. If you can prove you are the rightful owner of the build, you can request those others be closed by the mods if you choose to do so. Good luck around here, welcome to the community.
Edit - I wondered where that lidroid rom came from, never bothered to google it until tonight.
Please, don't get me wrong, but last time I counted there was near 30 ROMs.
Which of them are really "original" and deserve to be here?
More than this post deserves to be in development!!!
But he does have a point!
The dev forums are for development threads only - not for discussions. If you don't understand that then don't post anywhere.
Edit: I've msg'd a mod.
A lot of the "roms" in this thread are not "roms" but "kernels", and yes they are original
Its all about choice mate simple as that if you want to build a rom you can as can many others its nothing but a hobby .
jje
its all quite pathetic really the state of this forum. Mods have made a crap decision, the vast majority of people know that but they dont want to go back on it and look stupid.
They should get over themselves, its a bloody forum to help and share things. If they wanted to tidy up the development section a bit then the answer is quite simple and been mentioned many times.
Have a ROM section, a KERNEL section and a THEME section
a rom is a rom is a rom, stop sodding about with them.
They changed it this way as a temporary solution because of the crapload of roms in there. They're working on a new interface to make everything easier. Stop *****ing now okay?
Hello and greetings, this is my first post.
I've been reading these forums for quite a while and I own a Note II. I have followed a discussion in the OAD forums, including flashing a new rom, and have run the rom for a month now. I am simply having some trouble with a couple of aspects that haven't been addressed in the thread. I wish to solicit advice from the community.
Unfortunately, I cannot post because of the following rule:
-
Please Read: New members (those with fewer than 10 posts) are not permitted to post to development-related forums. The developer forums are intended for experienced users and developers to discuss ways to improve technical aspects related to ROMs and Software. While you may be an expert, we ask ALL users to avoid posting questions about using or installing ROMs and software in the Development Forums. To encourage this new Users can read but not post in these forums.
To ask Questions about developing your device, installing ROMs, software and themes you must go to the Q&A or General Forum.
Remember, your question has very likely been asked already, so please search before posting.

As I am reading this, particularly the 'fewer than 10 posts' part, I am thinking something like, 'but I am a computer expert'. And then I reach this part, which addresses what I feel I am directly:
While you may be an expert, we ask ALL users to avoid posting questions about using or installing ROMs and software in the Development Forums. To encourage this new Users can read but not post in these forums.
It's an interesting thing to ask when most of the discussions in the forum I cannot post to directly involve 'using or installing ROMs'. It definitely allows me to avoid posting questions about my particular interest. Instead I need to write ten posts, and this is the first. I don't know.. is this rule really necessary? Should I make nine crap posts so I can get around to talking about what I want to talk about, and joining what is already a burgeoning discussion? Should I just.. leave? Or should I chill out?
Maybe post your questions in the Q&A sections? Just a thought....

I would find the forum for your rom and ask the question there. You can ask a question in a thread already created just not create a new one.

i completely agree, this makes it so a large percentage of people who have questions cannot ask the people they want, cannot give bug reports and causes all sorts of problems. i can download a rom but cannot contribute at all to any issues, so i guess i can just make random posts in random topics( like the trolls you seek to weed out would no doubt do) but i havent biothered. its a stupid rule and the devs should be the most angry about this but i doubt they are aware that we have to go to other non devs to sort out the issues.
@coma73 Random posts and junk posts will be deleted, setting you back to your starting point. The moral of this story, follow the rules and all will be well; create junk/spam/random posts and be forever stuck with post limitations. We do check. Kinda funny, because that's how I stumbled into this thread.
In any event, we have the General and Q&A sections of the forums for you to read, learn, and ask any questions you may have. Most ROM's will have a Q&A thread already available, usually posted in (wait for it....) the Q&A forum, these are readily available for you to post your questions, comments, bug reports and feedback. If you're still stuck, there are many members here that would be willing to post on your behalf in a particular development thread.
We encourage members to utilize the resources at hand and the rules are pretty clear about why and the intention behind the post limitations. If you are unable to come up with 10 posts that are not junk/spam/random, you don't belong here any way.
I stumbled across the same issue and it's really annoying. I'm not an inexperienced user in any way, been using custom roms for 2 years and just want to give some constructive feedback to a custom rom I'm using which does NOT have a Q&A thread.

There are a lot of inexperienced users who post pretty easy questions across the boards. It won't take long to get up/past 10 posts if you respond to a few of those. Helpful for them to to benefit from your experience.

In this instance a post in general forums is sufficient.
This has been argued time and time again, fought tooth and nail, and it will not change. It helps far more than you guys realize.
Is it honestly that difficult to come up with ten non spam posts? I mean really, you find a bug and post about it in general forums, there's one.
A question? Q&A forums, there's two...
I had to do it, every developer here had to do it, hell, every member posting in development had to do it. It is not that hard.
So put on your big boy pants,quit complaining, and just post.
The rules still apply, and anything spam or completely useless will be deleted.
On that note, this thread is closed.
