Hi everyone I'm new to this forum. I have the Verizon S4 rooted and would like to reply to some threads but only certain threads allow replies. Could somebody explain how this works? Thanks
I think you need tonl spend some time communicating in the other forums before you can use the dev forums. Maybe 25 posts or something. I forget. Its been a while

Before you can post in development section such as those for ROM's and other MOD's you will need to have at least 10 posts, I would highly recommend taking a look at this guide on the 10 post rule and the forum rules. If have any other questions let me know I'll be more then happy to help you out .
Okay thanks for the help
And also read rule 15 about where to post
Questions and help issues go in Q&A and Help section

Usually posting in the guide threads will help, also, it would help when it comes time to root and flash roms to read those.
Yes I have been on for two Yeats but can't post in the Dev forums yet....

Am I understanding this correctly? I need to post 10 times in General or Q/A before I can post in Development thread?
I don't have any Q/A posts to create other than this and I don't have any general questions.
All I wanted to do was post to a thread that the Kernel is running great and no issues so far.
The only question I have is the following:
Should I post then new posts that are useless to get my count up
or
Post back to this thread I created 10 times?
I am leaning toward the latter but before I do I want to make sure I do not get anyones panties in a bunch. If this is an issue I'll just leave it as is and stick to reading.
If you just wanted to thank the dev who made the kernel, you could always just click the thanks button.

From my understanding of this forum, this isn't like other forums where you would post all questions and comments that are related to development in the development section. Since this is xda-DEVELOPERS they seem to assume that all questions are going to be related to development.
So all regular comments go in the General section, and all Questions go in the Q&A section. I believe they want you to post in the dev section only if you are developing something (a kernal, a rom, a mod like CWM).
If you want to report success on a specific rom or kernel, couldn't you just hit "reply" in the thread for that kernel? That's what I usually do.
Also, this will probably keep you from getting griped at by lots and lots of wannabe moderators (in addition to the real moderators).
Yea I know how u feel I'm on number 4 I think so this will be 5 half way there.

Questions belong in Q&A. Questions/problems on a specific ROM/KERNEL/MOD in the development forum belong in the thread related to what you have the question/problem with, not in a new topic. The development forum is for releases of stuff only, along with discussion in the same thread about said releases.
thanks for the clarification. one of these days i will get my 10 post in to thank all the hard working developers

Same here I was going to post in the developers kernel thread to provide feedback as it was new and they look for feedback.
This rule I can understand for new posts but for replying to existing posts I don't understand other than the fact you get a lot of people that post in wrong places all the time. However this will happen with this rule in place or not as they can reach ten posts pretty quickly.
Either way just found it an odd rule. Some forums do a "you must be a member for X days before you can post". This rule allows new members to do reading before they just start posting all over the joint. That one I understand.

Devs do check out the Q/A and general section too, so you dont have to post in their thread if you have a problem.
One good thing regarding the 10 post is that people wont post a thread with a question in the development section. A lot of people who accidentally post there says that their question has to do with development, and so they decided to post there instead of Q/A or general section. If people with a lot of posts still does this, by accident or not, imagine how much work mods will have to do if anyone can post there and is new to the forum.

What do you want to post in the dev section?
It would probably be better of being posted here in Q&A anyway
It's really 10, but this is not always very clever, reading some posts from users having 100+ answers
Dont make a new thread in developer's section unless you have invented something. Questions to be asked either in a Rom's thread or here(Q&A) section.
Your answer is 10, but I guess you have cleared the barrier. ;-)
Hi,
I have been searching the forum for ATT Official 2.3.4 stock ROM. I am new to Android and planning to put in a Custom ROM in my SGS2. But before I do that, I wanted to have the Official ATT 2.3.4 ROM so that in case any issues I can flash that back. Also I did read about keeping the flash counter intact. I primarily want to be prepared before I start with it. Please share if there is a link available.
Thanks
Seriously? The Development forum is only 4 pages long and you're too lazy to even skim thread titles there?
I suggest you go back and read the XDA rules again. Search before posting.

I was looking through the development forum as well and did find out there were some ROMs which were already rooted. I was looking for a unrooted ROM and maybe would have missed when I was looking through. That does not mean I am lazy... I am new here and did ask for help after trying!

Your reactive comment is really uncalled for. People are here to help, and they do not get paid to be here, but some find it a little tiring when people appear to ask questions before they even look for the answer.
I understand that to a new person, sometimes you don't even have a point of reference to know what you are looking for. What you need can be found in the development forum as "Unbrick/return to stock by Entropy512."
Also refer to the sticky topic "Library" in the development section, and the sticky topic "FAQ" in the general section.
Edit: OK I see you removed your reactive comment, so I removed it from the quote also.
My bad..sorry about the reactive comment.
I am a new user to Android and just moved from iPhone. I do appreciate the DEVS work and understand it is an extra responsibility for you.
I had rooted and unlocked my SGS2 but being extra cautious not to brick it when flashing the ROM. I maybe should have read through all the posts irrespective of the title
Thanks Guys.. I got the thread.. I will pick it up from there
do you have the link for official stock rom that you found?
I mean the 2.3.4
THank you

You really need to look around. There's a sticky post in the development section. Also study the links in my signature.
Why are people here so rude with noobs, jesshh. Can you just politely let the person know to do a search before posting and also provide the freaking link, since you people are so much of an expert in the forum right...

If we spoonfed every new person that comes here to XDA we wouldn't have enough room for actual development dude. So what you are suggestion is basically ridiculous. I want to come here for development. Not a bunch of links and "how to" posts. Searching is a good thing.

I tried searching, but a lot of times, its confusing on which Rom is actually the stock version which would return everything as before.
I looked at restoring the phone thread and couple of others which also say they are stock rom, hence the confusion.
There is no point in fighting. I got my answer, so its ok if people got mad at me for asking a question. They will forget about it in a couple of hours, and I will try to search a little more next time.

This thread is getting funny, not because of the OP's question but 'cuz of the resurrection.
Its quite obvious by how our general section is being spammed we need a Q&A section, so i have made this post with the purpose of showing it to a senior mod with the power of creating this thread for us, simple agree to my poll above and maybe post a comment supporting this etc. and hopefully we will get new section
Thanks Mods

This, we're 72% of the way to a Q&A section and this device doesn't get enough activity to justify a Q&A section anyway... But that's just my opinion

Yes, I am aware that we would normally get one when we reach 10k however I cannot see us getting anywhere near this in the forseable future, we need 3000 more threads and this will not happen anytime soon (Especially as everyone is now using the thread by IAMAREEBJAMAL for questions, this isn't effecient or particularly easy way to help others but is suffecient for the time being to help keep our forum clean) our device is already old and isn't exactly active on XDA and so action must be taken to ask the generous moderators if they would kindly give us a Q&A section, and so I kindly ask everyone reading this to help vote for a Q&A thread so when this is presented to a senior mod etc. They will have a reason to help us out
