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.

Oh nice.
Thanks

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.

Update android NAND rom without losing data?

Hey,
Was wondering if it was possible to upgrade a NAND rom without loosing all my apps, contacts, images etc. Reason being that I have a very early build which has some missing features such as GPS and I really need them. I have been using this build for a while now an have added new contacts, installed apps and have a lot of data on it generally. Is there any way that I can update to a new build whilst keeping my data?
Thanks in advance

in this topic a video show u how can u upgrade u're rom with ClockWorkMode.

It amazes me that there are people in these forums who are smart enough to to install android rom on there phone, but they still can't figure out where to post a question. There is a forum for questions and there is a forum android development, and yet they still pick the development forum for questions. Why is this concept so hard to understand. Haven't you noticed that there isn't any other questions being asked in this forum except yours?

Its because they know more people view the nand development forum than the Q&A forum so they have more chance of getting an answer to their question.
I noticed a while ago a mod from another xda forum posting a question in the nand dev forum for that very same reason.
Simple solution, don't answer people who start question threads in dev forums until they are moved to the proper place.

Titanium Backup
The name is Titanium Backup

So you don't want people to answer your question in the nand dev forums until it is moved to Q&A forums. Then why didn't you just post in the Q & A forum in the first place. You saw another person posting in the nand dev forum, so now you feel like you should do the same. So now other people will see your question and then will post there own questions in the nand dev forum and the trend will continue.The last thing everyone wants is the nand dev forums flooded with questions. By the way, a quick search in the forums, you could have found an answer to your original question.

If you bothered to read my reply i was agreeing with the person i quoted "YOU" and was only stating the reason some people are posting questions in the Dev forum. Example,,,, the mod who had posted a question in the Nand Dev forum for that very reason.
I was also saying people should not answer questions put in the dev forums until it has been moved to the proper place. They will then have to wait until it has been moved which could be hours if the mods are not about or busy. Getting a quick reply in the dev forum only encourages others to do the same.
If you can find any question i have started in a Dev form you can have my HD2 for free.
Idiot.

I seem to have started a row. I appoligise for starting this thread where I did. I hope you two can still be friends! Thanks for the help will use the clockwork mod as soon as I can!

You can't use CWM unless the ROM is CMW friendly.
You need Titanium Backup - free in the market. (The paid version is WELL worth it though!)

When I click that link I get the following. Has the thread been deleted or am I not permitted access because of my post count? It says you cannot post with less than 10 posts, but it doesn't say you cannot view. Am I doing something wrong?

My thread (modified Galnet MIUI rom) deleted without any warning

So guys what you think about current andministrators and moderators? Is it ok? So question is why my thread is deleted and who deleted my thread???

You may not have been following xda rules regarding uploading etc.

I want an answer from a guy who did this and his explanation (what rules I breaking in my post?).

should be in Q&A
nah, jokes beside.. If your thread got removed without a message regarding why, you should have the right to demand it.. Threads disappearing for no reason would be weird.

an explanation is not to much to ask for. At least so if he did break a rule it wouldn't happen again
And learn from his mistakes

I checked, it was deleted by a senior moderator.
The reason being given:
"Reason: not allowed on XDA"
Post script: Redirect will last one hour.

Ok. Why is not allowed and what rule I break with my post? My post was posted 30.11.2011 and today is 08.12.2011 ++ 7000 views, so why I wasn't warned 30.11.2011 about breaking rules (for example to stop development on rom)? Is it ok? ... I waiting explanations about my post what rule I breaking and who and why deleted my thread, and why my post is not allowed, thanks!!!

I feel sorry for you man, that was unjust and I hope you get it all back

I feel sorry for you too , I don't think you're a Noob on XDA, and hope too you'll be back...

Any Galnet Scotland ROMs get closed down.

They are not allowed on XDA as off this morning.

I removed your thread because it has come from way above me that no Galnet MIUI ROMs are to be permitted on XDA.
That being said, I am awaiting a response from those same higher-up's to verify that my actions are justified. If they happen not to be, I will gladly reinstate your thread.

First as you stated in the threads OP, this was not your development. So saying you lost 8 days developing this rom is just non sense.
Second Galnet roms have been banned from XDA all together due to charging people for access to roms.
So in closing Galnet roms are not allowed on XDA. Nor are you allowed to link to the roms on Galnet.
Use their site if you want to work on their roms.

Admin has not locked your other account as you have been using it today. If you found time to read the rules you would know there is a post count limit before you can post in the development forums.
I am locking this thread down and you can sort this out with me over personal message as i will have to delete one of these accounts.

RULES is why its not development its another users work plus you are posting links to a warez site namely your site .
You are stealing from XDA Developers .

1. Don't attempt to use ad fly links - this is against the forum rules.
2. Don't post guides in Development.
3. Don't rip off other people's guides. - also against the forum rules
4. Don't use XDA to advertise your site - again, against the forum rules
5. Don't link to warez sites, we are a forum for developers so ripping off developers is not allowed.
Think that's enough for an infraction? 4 blatent breakages of the forum rules...
You're new here so I suggest you watch the noob video and read the forum rules. I won't infract you this time but please consider this a warning, further breakages of the forum rules will result in infractions.
