development section mess - Nexus One General

are their any mods that could clean up the development section? maybe make a sub-forum in development for the 200 kernals we have to sift through to find anything else?

4 Moderators: Please read. ROMs section request.

Was wondering if we can get a ROM section with all ROMs in one place?
That would be sweet.
The dev section is more or less a rom section.
I don't think a separate section is needed, but what would help is a common format to identify threads which contain ROM's. For example, starting a ROM thread with "[ROM]". Iced Glacier is an example of a ROM thread that doesn't follow that format and therefore doesn't stand out as much as it could.
Maybe a sub section within the dev area....
Have you checked out the Wiki?

Section 1.4 sounds like exactly what you are looking for.
Nice suggestion but no need to clutter the forums section as its already classified under Dev. Now I understand it maybe little hard for new users to get use to on what is what from thread title. But one must do research on howto and find it for themselves as if you brick it you are responsible for your own actions.
Best thing I can tell new user is they ask the folks in General or Q&A section to help them list stable roms and report their user feedback on pro/con about the rom this way you can get many input and ultimately flash it yourself and decide.

Realistically, seasoned users have no issues finding roms in the dev section, and new users shouldn't even be aloud to read thre dev section until they've been here for a while and have the chance to learn a little bit so they have a clue before they start trying to flash their phones.

The "nexus s guide to roms, kernels, themes etc" thread

Shouldn't that one be in here instead of the dev forum?
Here noobs can post too and that thread is partially meant for that demographic (to which I count mayself) - also it doesn't have a whole lot to do with the actual development of said roms etc...
Agreed, it should be a sticky on the General section, just like the rooting tutorials.

original android - android development - what?

Ever since XDA split forums with these two separate android development forums its confused me.. can anyone clarify?
(a) Stuff like this should go in the Q&A forums.
(b) Your answer is right there in the stickies at the top of the Original Dev and Android Dev forums, in the "Rules and Guide for posting in _____".
Real quick before this gets locked "Android Development" is For TW based roms Original Development" is for AOSP
You could tell that by entering each of the above mentioned threads.
YES......

You could see it in their stickies, or just look at some of the topics.

Non TW Roms

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any non touchwiz based roms are in development? If so can you post a link?
Many thanks
e2a: bugger I've posted this in the wrong section, could a mod move it to Q&A please.
Many thanks
If there is any, there will most likely be a thread in the development section. Just wait, it'll come soon enough

Is this the worst section in xda developers?

I cannot understand why we donĀ“t have a section for our phone, with themes, android development and general topics. what is the problem?
+1
There is one for the lite and max one without any CR.
We have a CR and no section..
Development doesn't happen just because a dedicated device section is created. It takes developers to create development. A section created won't make development appear. But, you can request a section here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354
