There has been some confusion with regards to the threads in this forum not accepting replies. We're in the process of a rather complex move to separate forums for each carrier. If you are on OP to any of these threads, please edit the titles to reflect which carrier they apply to so that we can get them moved to the appropriate new section.
In the case of cross-compatible themes and apps, we will copy the thread to each new section.
*Any threads not edited to specify a carrier will be lost when we close this forum in the coming days.*

We appreciate the extra time you spend looking and posting in the correct forum so that others may be able to quickly find what they need and not have to dig through useless threads/posts.
Since this is the General section and all new users will be collected in this section (because they cant post in the Dev section yet for good reasons), we will start at the beginning and assume you have a fresh new device. We will go over the steps from first to last on how to achieve root, custom kernels, costume firmware and then hacks and tweaks.
How to Easily Root your device.
How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!

Those are the 5 main groups, each linked to a separate thread/topic that will help guide you through the process and hopefully avoid any problems. If you do develop a problem, please look through the topic or thread that you are in to quickly solve your issue. Also be sure to check the FAQ as your answer may already be there waiting for you.
Have a question? Most questions have already been answered here in the FAQ topic. Try looking here before you decide to post a new thread to ask a question. Chances are, you're not the first to have a questions so its more than likely been answered and discussed.

In the interest of keeping the Development Forum as clean as possible, a new rule is in order.
Understand, the Development Forum is for DEVELOPMENT ONLY. It is NOT for posting general issues you have.
If you have a problem with a ROM that is hosted here, by all means, post the issue in the ROM thread. DO NOT CREATE A NEW THREAD.
If you have a problem with hacked software that is hosted here, by all means Post it in the appropriate thread. DO NOT CREATE A NEW THREAD.
If you have new hacking apps, by all means post them here.
However, Any more posting of new threads, that are not related to development, and should belong in the Q&A or General Forum, will be DELETED. And that's that. They will no longer be moved to the correct forum. But "Hasta La Vista".
Zero Tolerance.
Read the rules and guidelines people.

FAQ
Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?
A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.
Q When I'm asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?
A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so
Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?
A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?
A See THE Developer's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362863.
Q How’s battery life?
A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
Explaining the purpose of our Q&A/T threads for specific ROM's to posters.
"Hi dear followers of this ROM,
in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.
This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development
The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.
The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."
This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I dowmload and install this ROM, etc, etc
Hope to have given you enough information,
kindest regards, Kuzibri
Welcome everyone, to the FireRom Q&A thread! I will make a FAQ here shortly!

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.
