To all XDA Developers,
I would like to suggest that:
At the first line on every first post on new Development ROM, that is the start of a new post for any New Development ROM (alpha, beta, etc), which is still undergoing test and development,... can you put an advice targeted to new user, who are unfamiliar with this site. Put up an advice there where they should start off. Something that is like these, example for DS5 ROM:
To New Users who own Dell Streak 5, please go this page/post to get you started with familiarizing yourself with flashing new ROM, and finding stable stock and custom ROM for your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=695
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
and add probably other pages that might be useful for any eager new users to start reading properly before acting on impulse doing somethings that they are not be doing, unfamiliar and no knowledgeable of. Well, something like that. Would it be helpful to do so?
I actually stumble onto this page after viewing some Youtube clips on upgrade done on DS5, searching on Google and I somehow end up on xda-developers page. I was struggling to find a starting point, what to do first... I read endlessly and jumping onto different forums, sometimes ending up on different device forums (ugh, that's kinda stupid of me, :silly: )... until I discover somehow some pages that would be somewhat my starting points. Perhaps this suggestion might be useful.
Secondly, I found out that, for DS5, I can go to these page to get info on DS5, with stock roms and custom roms:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/ROMs
But, is there such page as well, similar to that, that list out all the Development ROMs ?
Thanks.
open xda via pc there you can find whole list of completed roms with respective recovery and base files
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
There is no list of custom ROMs such as what you find in the wiki with the stock ROMs.
As to the idea presented, it's redundant as there are pinned posts in these forums which cover the same material. You should be reading those posts instead of trying to force developers or chefs to provide a link to the material on every ROM.

Wizard goes wiki
A wiki page has been opened for the Wizard
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
Please look here before asking questions on the forum.
All users can edit this page so you can all add information thus making it a better source of information.
It has the structure of the Blueangel wiki so you that as templets

ahh! wiki ruined my life and all this time i thought my wizard had a microwave in it!
I compiled a massive update to the ROM section of the Wiki. (“LINK HERE”)
All the ROMs are original ship ROMs, no repacks of any kind.
I’ve spent the last two months trying to find all the original ship ROMs however I wasn’t able to find all of them.
Below is a list of the ROMs I haven’t been able to find, and there must be others I don’t know about.

I updated the link however you could have just went to the wiki.
Nice
Just got my hd2 today and looking through the boards im confused.
i understand theres new roms, loads of extensions and some critical apps but i dont know where to start.
Could someone please create a new thread thats just for n00bs, that gives an up to date guide for getting the best out of a factory fresh hd2?
im not talking about anything too specific, just the latest (or best.most stable/fastest) rom (and how to flash) and some general guidance as to the most popular apps to install off the bat (theres got to be some commonality there).
thanks guys!
there are at least three sticky guides to rom flashing on the rom development section, the hints and tips sticky in this section is also a first stop.
as to questions like"best rom"..that's a completely subjective question...everyone has their favorite.
course, if you wanna write a new guide no one will complain!
The purpose of this thread is to solicit discussion on Supersonic related wiki pages since everyone may not be comfortable updating the wiki directly or familiar with the wiki syntax. This will also serve as a sanity check for the people maintaining the wiki pages to ensure we are getting the right information out in the best possible format and organization.
You can view all Supersonic related wiki pages here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:HTC_Supersonic
A sticky redirect to the main Supersonic wiki page has been added to each forum.

Custom Roms vs. Dev Roms
What do we see as the difference between Custom Roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Custom_ROMS) and Dev Roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Dev-ROMs)?
All Roms are pretty much under constant development. I think these two tables should be combined.
Added CyanogenMod wiki page
Wiki page devoted to our favorite community based AOSP ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs/CyanogenMod
Missing a theme? Or other key information? Let us know.
don't know if this thread is still active, but as I'm unfamiliar with editing wikis, but I'm full of ideas (and I have a big mouth), I thought I'd list some discussion items here. I'm working on the assumption that the wiki should be one of the, if not the, first place new users shouldbe looking to get information.
1 - remove the radios from the rom section, and give it it's own section on the main wiki page - it's too confusing for new users to locate this information under roms
2 - instead of just linking to roms, kernels, radios, etc. from the main page there should be a few sentances on what each is above the link to the new page - something simple defining each term, and some basic instructions on how to flash each (what should be wiped, what goes on top of what, etc).
3 - would also like to see some info on the main wiki page on nandroid (and the importance of nand backups), hboot, recovery info for both amon ra and clockwork, what wiping means and what it does, themes and themeing, and possibly even a section on popular apps and what they do, like setcpu (and what it means to over/underclock), various launchers (like rosie, adw, launcherpro, etc), and various benchmarking tools and what they measure.
I could probably think up a bunch more, but I'll see what kind of response this gets before posting more
Bump from the dead. no new ideas, thoughts, or suggestions for the wiki?

What about an android development setup environment guide to Linux? Forgive me if I have not searched throughly for a good guide.
Seems this may be dead but this is worth a try.
I would like to add a link to some RUU's provided by Football

This would be extremely helpful for those wanting to revert to stock for any reason.
Hi,
I have run a guide on the ZTE Blade on MoDaCo right from the initial launch of the device.
The guide at MoDaCo (I can't link because I am too new on this forum) is designed for new users to understand how to get started with custom roms and is also supposed to keep all users up-to date with the new ROMS and changes to existing ROMS.
The Question I have - I know that XDA is a big community and I believe that users would benefit from having access to my guide; should I Link to my guide from a thread here - or Keep a Duplicate thread in this forum?
Here is a non click-able link
android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-blade-modaco-com/319831/25-dec-installing-the-modaco-custom-rom-from-scratch-and-other-roms/
It's a great guide, I read it a week ago or so when browsing for information on the ZTE Blade and it's modding capabilities and status of current custom ROMs. As an Ubuntu user I especially like the Linux specific step-by-steps
Would love to see it in "XDA markup", meaning "ported" to this forum since it would be easier to follow when you're used to this forum's style. Although, it's very easy to follow due to being well written and constructed, so you'd have to weigh that against the pain keeping two versions in sync.
Dunno what forum policy is regarding just linking to another site/forum, but I think this guide should be sticky somewhere on XDA. It would definitely keep down the numbers of questions and new threads

Why do you need installation instructions? It's the same as any other ROM. Custom recovery, factory reset, install ROM, install gapps. Reboot

because sir,
it reassures people who have never done it before....a small example...i am 43 years old and until feb of this year i had never used an android device,then one day my brother came over and gave me one and voila i was introduced to android and have never looked back..my point being...there are new people discovering android every single day...we are labeled....NOOBS...by the community...and for good reason,we know little if nothing about the devices we own...but as you....and maybe many people all over the globe were once also NOOBS you can understand that a friendly bit of info..like installation instructions...can go a very long way to helping people feel better about what they are doing...and save everyone who has to help them out,(when they maybe mess it up),wasting their time when i am sure they could/will have better things to do...capeesh...
There are tutorials EVERYWHERE. Xda, YouTube, blogs. This is not ROM specific. Why do we need to rehash the same things that are already published out there? Use the info that is already there. No need for us to rewrite it. Flashing Roms requires learning the lingo, the proper tools, and the willingness to learn how to recover from failure. This website contains more knowledge than you can imagine on these things. The onus is on you to learn what others have already provided.

Questions before buy Oppo 7
Hi
I love the paranoid rom, thanks a lot!!!
I have figured out that many questions is answered in change log, but as a not so experienced user i hope the community will answer me in this thread, by prose or by links, thanks!
Before i buy oppo 7 i like to ask a few questions.
- is headset play, paus, skip volume etc part of PA rom; when the screen is on, and off?
- support PA install apps on sd card, or can it move apps to sd card?
- what steps is recommended before i root and before i change rom to PA? Do i need to take some backup of important info? This question is due to possibility to restore phone to "original"
