Question pretty much says it all. I am just trying to get a feel on what the majority seems to agree upon in order to give a friend a couple of pointers.
Questions have no place in Development. Please post in the correct sections when asking questions as there is a whole section for them here.
Also remember there is no such thing as a best ROM so if you ask for the best ROM this thread will be closed.
Thanks

Hi,
i am going to upgrade from my 1.93 o2 rom.which custom rom do you recommend i use?
Wrong place to post a thread here, i guess you should try the rom section. And nobody can suggest a rom, its all basically about your own opinion, best way is to flash one and if you dont like it flash another. thats the only advice i can give you sorry.
Oh this thread will be closed, within a matter of time!
opps questions like this will get you in trouble as these sorts on questions sometimes start people fighting.
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.
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

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.

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?
knickfan5745, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

I'm assuming you're on the MF3 build. If so, there's some good stuff pinned in the general section.
All this is guess work right now, though, since you've given us no information about your device and what methods you've already tried.

Can you verify your running a i337? Can you also specify what firmware your on? I would be glad help if you want it.
screw up and flash back to stock and received the ota....is there any way to flash back to mje...
Hating life right know...
First of all, this post should not even be in development let alone original android development. didn't you notice there are only three posts here? Try general for asking question.
As far as the answer, you already know, once you ota past mje you're screwed.

@neto1012 - this is most certainly not something that should be posted in the development sections of any devices threads, especially not original dev section. If you didn't "create it" it doesn't belong in development. If you didn't "create it from scratch" it doesn't belong in original development.
Please read the rules linked in my signature & follow them. This is your warning to post in correct sections - next time we'll be forced to take more action. Moved the thread to Q&A where it belongs.
@platinumyahoo - you're absolutely correct about the thread but questions don't go in general, they go in Q&A. Also, next time don't post on silly threads like this - just click report. Thanks!
