INTRODUCTION :-
I made this thread as I felt the need of having one in our section ..
Also, there also need to be an off-topic discussion thread of newbies and developers that should reduce the flooding of General Section. Also, it would be easier for new users to complete their 10 posts.
First of all , please read the our FORUM RULES......(click me)
Here in this Off-topic thread ,You can post almost anything here....This thread will also help the members to complete their 10 post's.....
Enjoy....
What should i do in OFF-TOPIC THREAD ..?? (for noobs)-
[*]Discussion which is about warez, advertisement is strictly prohibited ..
[*]Any Off-Topic Discussion should be done in this thread and you are free to ask any type of question here.....
Your opinions, chats, suggestions, tips, etc which can help other users. No flaming needed.
Your discoveries. Don't post other's work as yours
No need of using this thread as political or social or religious topic gossip
Great Thread for beginners.... If they are looking for a place to get all the info on rooting, roms, kernels, mods, etc. They should check out the official Roms thread ---- > HERE
I'm new to being able to flash kernels so I have a few questions. Do certain roms include custom kernels when the rom is flashed or do I flash them myself after flashing the rom? I'm currently running hyperdrive, it says it's on stock kernel, can I flash a different custom kernel? Is it recommended for this specific rom?
Using several tools, i cant get the S4s CPU clock to show above 1.7ghz....

Hi, I'm on the tmobile version of the S3 and am running the latest radio with a JB leaked rom via XquiziT v34 and kitchen v10.
I am wanting to alter the Device Status settings so it reads from "modified" to either "normal/unmodified" or "Not available." The reason I would like to change it is not for warranty reasons, but because I want to be able to get AllShare Cast to work. I just purchased the dongle and previously had it working on another rom, wanamlite, and I would like it to work on this rom I'm currently running. I've also used Triangle Away to reset the counter back to 0.
Knowing what I've read from all around the forum, I've found out that Samsung doesn't want rooted users who have a modified rom using their exclusive products. And to do that, they created those measures to prevent the usage of their products from modified versions of their stock rom. So unless you have a completely stock rom, you won't be able to get it to fully work. I've tried just about everything else I could think of like flashing various radios, kernels, roms, and triangle away. I was only able to get it to work with a stock rom.
So if anyone can either show me how to alter it, or point me in the right direction on how I can achieve that, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

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.

Sup guys. I may be retarded, but I searched everywhere for a stock android KitKat (or even Android L (which is way less likely)) rom and I can't find any.
Is there a "Google Play Edition" Galaxy S5 rom? Or an Unofficial cyanogenmod rom? If so, please link me to it, cause I can't find this anywhere.
Thanks

You really didn't search nor read the rules of posting in development section.
Link to Q&A section where this should have been posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help
Link to Unified Development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/unified-development
Finally, one reason you didn't find anything in your "search" is because there really aren't any usable options yet. No Google Play edition (If you had checked Google's store you would have seen that there is no S5 for sale). CyanogenMod is hit or miss with people reporting calling echos, wake locks, and other issues such as no camera. Since all other "AOSP" ROMs are usually built using the CyanogenMod base, all of those ROMs are having the same problems.
@github is correct, and it's obvious that this is a Q&A thread, not a Development thread. Thread is now moved to the Q&A section.

Hello everyone,
i am searching for a security focused/hardened Custom Rom for the Huawei P20 Lite.
Something like GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS sounds very interesting but unfortunately it is not available for the P20 Lite.
Please note that i am not only talking about Privacy. I am searching a secure Rom.
I often find LineageOS when i am googling, but i think it is more privacy focused and i also read that security updates often be shipped to late...
Greetings and thanks in advance

Also, the [ROM] prefix is reserved for developer use when posting ROM projects., not questions.
@-Alf- I now read this the second time in connection with security questions.
What is the deal about Kirin Devices? I mean what makes it impossible to harden a ROM/OS and deactivate unsafe Software Parts/Services and install security features?

I can't name the reasons, I'm not a developer. I only know that ROM/OS like Graphene, Postmarket, Sailfish, UbuntuTouch etc. etc. (all that works on Snapdragon, MTK, etc.) , cannot be installed on Kirin. Or they only work partially.
No roms are safe. Your data can always be wiped, stolen etc with a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader
