Comical that a new user who finds this forum, hoping to get help with a development issue can't even post their question because they're new. The "admins" incorrectly think that this cuts down on spam and nonsense posts, but all it does is cause these new users to post enough garbage to get their post count up so that they can actually post what they want to post. So your plan has backfired.
Well that's one post...
Same boat as you. Just screwed up my nook 2E, and needed to post for a fix. Perhaps they should refine their policy - say, allow a dedicated forum/subsection just for this sort of thing?
Both of you have 10+ posts now. Was it that bad and difficult to get the posts?
I agree, i know what I'm doing, but still have to post in 10 threads to get the access i really want.
Does anyone know if the Viewsonic G Tablet will be compatible with Android 4.0?
I'm really hoping that with the better then average specs the G tab has that it can handle this latest and greatest ROM
It is not about horsepower, the source code for drivers is not available yet and may never be even with the agreement... Froyo is the only os with true drivers from what I gather. Maybe ginger will have them soon. Otherwise just settle for nexflix on ginger or a camera/skype on froyo. Very frustrating!
U do know
#1 ICS was just announced
#2 2.3 is not supported by VS or nivida on this device
#4 There is a search on this site and a site called google?
I'm not trying to be a a$$, Just tired of these type posts we saw all this with 3.0. Please use the search before asking any questions. I can guarantee you that that 99% of all questions you would have are located in these forums. I have been a gtab owner since the beginning and before there was a spot for it here on XDA, I have see it all posted and searched for it on my own.
I did try to search for the answer before posting this question, I tried Google first and couldn't find anything that matched even with a very basic search criteria, I also tried to search for it thru this site with no luck. As I'm new to the Viewsonic G Tablet and to XDA Developers I was hoping the question wouldn't annoy anyone to severly. I guess I was mistaken.
A search for the term "Sandwich" in the gtab forums here returns at least 2 other threads on the topic.
You realize between your two ***** posts you've spent more time and space then the OP's original and reply posts... cmon with the forum whining, it's stupid and you DO sound like an @$$

the best hope the GTab can have is through CyanogenMod

His point was that there are rules in place that we are all supposed to follow. It doesn't hurt to make new (or not so new) users aware of the rules. The very first rule is:
FORUM RULES
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
I like this rule too:
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
If you haven't read the rules they are located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=1101
From what I have heard ICS wants 1 GB of ram while the Gtab has 512 MB. That may have some impact on the operation of ICS and may make it not worth porting to work on the Gtab.
That can't be right. The Nexus S only has 512MB of RAM and Google has already promise an ICS release for it.

Everything on a forum was discussed once. That is not really an enforceble rule, but only in a few cases. That's why is a forum, we can have different oppinions, otherwise it would be called a blog.
And BTW, the way "search" functions are implemented on forums sucks. Sending people to Google is ridiculous IMO.

You're preaching to the wrong choir. I didn't make the rules. Didn't say that the rule was enforcable. What I did say was we are expected to follow them (even if some choose not to) and that there is nothing wrong with pointing the rules out. Sure we can have different opinions & I was just stating mine. I personnally have had no problem finding what I need through search. It just takes a little time familiarizing yourself with how it works (IMO). If you have a problem with the rules and the XDA search functions maybe you should address your concerns or suggestions to XDA or one of the moderaors.
Also, I didn't suggest sending anyone to Google, although I still do use Google to find things because XDA does not contain everything.

well even if anyone was able to do so wouldnt they need a rom to base it off of pluse a working kernel then having to rework all the drivers on it i mean it wasnt supose to run honeycomb but they have a port working on it so if it was that and it was that the port so go just as fine for ICS just the same as honeycomb is

Enough said. I don't believe his intention was to belittle even though some took it that way. It won't be the first or last time someone speaks or writes something out of frustration. There is also nothing wrong with letting users know how to better use the forums. Could it have been said better, yes. Each of us comes here to either help or be helped. How about we just get back to doing that!

I was just scolded by Red5 for posting a new thread. I can't post in the Development forum, as I don't have enough posts yet. I DID search for the answer, and when I couldn't find I did as the message below told me to do. Post the question in the Q&A forum.
I'm not a moron, or a troll, I'm an experienced IT professional with a simple question. New members are going to have more questions than answers when getting started in this forum. Rules that block people from putting comments where they belong, then scolding people for putting them where they're told to (see below) just doesn't make much sense.
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.
What question do you have. Also if you read, the development forum is only for development, not asking questions.
You have no idea how many new members go in and ask questions that have been asked millions of times before or in the sticky that has BIG BOLD LETTERS ON THE TOP SAYING READ ME. And also 90% sure this thread will be locked anyways since it has nothing to do with the phones.
Oh to answer your question.
Since its an App, you're not going to find help on the black text because thats just the way the app is coded. Go complain to the developer of the app and not the ROM.
And by recovery console do you mean cwm? If so, have fun.

Sorry, that's a rough intro. I hope you won't be turned off by XDA as a whole. I try to keep things positive and look forward to seeing you around these boards.
EDIT, as to your questions, briefly in case this thread gets closed:
1) No easy way to change font/color behavior in a single app. As a workaround, you can hold finger over a list entry/item and read the text sometimes while it is highlighted. Some apps have theme settings for dark/light themes for exactly this situation.
2) I know modifying recovery is possible (Siyah kernel for instance) but have never seen one with larger fonts. At any rate, it's not a setting that can be changed on the fly.
I think they mean for questions like "how do i flash a rom" , "how do i return to stock" , general non rom specific questions. Any specific rom questions need to go in that dev's thread. As far as needing ten posts, find some threads that interest you in the general or q & a and comment on them.

I'm pretty sure none of us are... But this is the rule for XDA that was set forth... 10 post is not a lot, especially comparing to some of the other sites that I seen out there. As of now you have 7 posts. Only 3 more posts and you should be good to go.
Keep it in mind the moderators/administrators here work hard to keep this forums nice and clean. So, new users can find things easier.
As some of the earlier posts and responses, they should already tell you what you can and cannot do.
As penguinlogik said, I would stay away from CWM. Or you will definately have a field day with it, that is from my experience.
Wait was that in the Q&A section that it was asked?
Anyways to answer your question;
The app was made for an unthemed version of the rom. When we theme stuff in the framework often times it directly effects some apps. Apps that are using framework colors anyways.
The only way to fix the app is to mod the app yourself or use a unthemed rom.
Theming is a tough job as it cant usually be done without effecting something else (app) unfortunately.
Hope that helps...
Thank you shoman, that was the first useful reply to my original question.

I think you need to understand where XDA came from. It was never meant as a place for the masses to come and gather. It was meant for developers to come and share knowledge to make their phones better. What you see now is what happens when you do it EXTREMELY WELL. It is EXPECTED OF YOU to read, read, and read some more before you ask questions. Yes that may take minutes, hours or even days, but that's what you have to do.

That dude was not nice... I had the same problem when started into xda, search results had no answer for my specific dilemma, and I had to make 10 posts before being able to get a real answer for my initial question. But it helped me out, cause now I use search all the time when I got questions and haven't had anyone scold me over my posts, but all that aside this is a very useful forum. Enjoy XDA!

What did I tell you? I said that you didnt need to start a thread to ask your question. There were plenty of threads already started that you could have popped in and asked your question. Once again, no reading was done. Had you read my post (let me quote that for you here):
Then I suggest you read the sticky thread and look at the FAQ and look in the Iscrewed thread for your answers. Just because you cant post to ask your probably already answered question, dosent mean you get to start a new thread about it.

I said NOT TO START A NEW THREAD ABOUT IT. Thats why it was closed. If you consider that scolding, then you're in a rude awakening from other members here at XDA.
The reason we put up the 10 post minimum was because 99.9% of all questions are either answered in the sticky threads, guides, walkthroughs, FAQ or threads already started... you just have to look. As previously stated by another member, by learning to search when you first register, it set a precident for the remainder of your stay on how to act and what to do on this forum.
This is a Development site for Developers... its not a phone version of WalMart where people pop in to start a thread or just order what they want. If you want answers, just like the internet itself, you're going to have to search... and this same answer can be found in the sticky at the top of this forum.

I am a new member and every time i post something or respond to something, i have to go thru the captcha... typing is a bit of a challenge for me so getting those right is very challenging... I joined so that I could respond to someone in the developers thread, but i can't do that until i have 10 posts and then i find out that i can only post every 5 minutes since I am new. I also cannot send a PM which is what i tried to do as well.... will there always be captchas when i am posting or will they go away after 10 posts?
this is mostly just filling time so i can post again and get up to 10!
thanks...

The captchas are only temporary, they will go away along with other restrictions A friendly tip though, don't post just to fill up the 10 posts because I have seen some people get their post count reset. It's super easy to legitimately get 10 posts.
Browse the Q&A forums and help out with what you can, recommend accessories in said forum. Also check out the main Android forums and if all else fails there is always then off topic forums and we even have an off topic thread in general.
Welcome and I hope to see you around

I don't understand why once I am confirmed as member, I can't post anywhere... all of my thanks posts were genuine, those were things that i didn't know before and found helpful. I was legitimately trying to help someone in a developer forum because I had had the same issue when rooting, and it wouldn't let me send him a pm either until after those 10 so i was trying to be helpful here. how much longer does it take to be able to post in the development forums?

It's mostly to minimize spam. It seems to work pretty well, so I'd say it's a small price to pay to have a better community.
yea i feel where your comin from but it really helps cut down on the spam allso helps keep some people away you dont no how many time a tread can be ruin by some person with drama and off topic debates lol
Xda needs to have some border patrol.. if your here for the right reasons you will be able to post anywhere b4 long
If you only knew the amount of spam we got on here by ppls accounts....lol
