can I dirty flash Google Play Edition ROM over my current CM10? Or do I have to do a full wipe first
Full wipe. Cm is AOSP based and I believe GE is touvhwiz based. You could do it but you will run into some issues.

Why are people not posting these questions in the thread that was specifically created for the Google Edition rom in the Android Development forum? That's what it's there for.

I'm pretty sure he is talking about the GE Rom for our phone which would make this the proper place to post.

I'm also talking about the GE rom for our phone. It has its own dedicated thread, which is why it strikes me as odd that people keep posting questions about it in this forum rather than in the rom thread.

My bad on the first part. Read it quickly and thought you meant the GE thread itself.
But it is posted here because the development thread is supposed to be clean. I know people use it for everything but that is not the intention or what the moderators want. The Rom thread should only contain info from the developer of the Rom and at most bug reports. General discussions or questions should go in their respective sections. Personally I make a thread in general for everything related to my releases. But it still doesn't stop people from posting in the dev section.

So, most other phones have a q&a section, so why dont we? That would probably keep people from posting questions in development. Thanks!

There is. It is stickied in the epic4g development section.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
But a Q & A thread in the General section isn't a bad idea - some questions have absolutely nothing to do with development, and everything to do with the already-developed.
And some questions don't need an entire thread, just one post to ask and one post to answer. Topics worthy of a full guide should then be the only questions with dedicated threads (and the OP can update the first post as new information comes in, compiling it all in one easy to find place)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Also if you have a separate section for Q/A, you can differentiate between different topics, instead of searching through the Q/A topic on the Dev section. Not to sound lazy, but it would be easier to search via topics in a specified Q/A section.
The hero has a q&a section, and it made things a lot easier to ask questions because no one was on your ass for being curious about something.

+1000000000000000 on this!
I have seen countless amounts of topics that are always moved because of confusion, or get bagged on for asking something dumb.
With a Q&A section, people would be free of asking a question, and with all the questions in one place, it may be easier to find the topic you're looking for.
Thank my post if you want a seperate q&a section like the nexus s, evo, captivate, hero, etc. has!

How is it a scapegoat? No one cares enough for someone to be blamed or there to be fall out.
Please just add a Q&A board. It would definitely cut down on the stupid froyo topics and the like.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Just curious as to what everyone is using so far, and why they like it. Maybe a centralized inquiry of user thoughts will help out the devs, as well as other users when deciding what rom to choose.
What features do you really enjoy on the ROM you are using now? What do you wish to see? Any major deal breakers on other ROMs that stopped you from choosing it?
This is the DEv forum. It is not for Questions and answers or polls. This needs to be in the Q&A forum.

No, users need to hit the report button and at least this moderator will not only move them, but lock them, because they're useless. Best ROM threads are closed, as is this one.
Since we can not discuss non dev in dev section, heres the discussion thread.
if @gokussjx want, i will delete this thread.

Yeah I saw that. I think they should continue with that thread and lock this and mine. Wouldn't be fair if they started using only mine as there's what, one post there beside mine?
Thank you, vladnosferatu, however this thread is redundant since there is already one in the Q&A section. Please continue in there.

I'm the weakest link? Yet I have thousands of posts and over 1500 thanks. You on the other hand have less that 500 posts and less the 70 thanks. On top of that I have previously held the title of Recognized Contributor. Only was it lost due to a misunderstanding. Shall I call in @Naddict? He is a mod and will say the exact same thing as I have said.
How but this? If the OP can't take the time to browse the front pages of both the QA and General sections, I nor anyone else will have the time to help.
All this time wasted could have been time spent searching and gaining answers and in the future. Instead of being a helpless mooch, one could become a contributing member of this site.
Furthermore, SpiritFyre, you provided absolutely nothing to this thread. So why did you bother commenting? Was it to help or to flame? I was not being mean. I provided a legitimate answer in hopes that the OP would benefit themselves. Yet they want to be lazy and you want to say I am mean and am the weakest link.
Here is the deal. You, Spirit have provided little to this community since 2008. I have been here for only a few years and have provided more than quadruple what you have over many devices to include some that we have never even had forums for. If anyone has any say here on what I should do, it is me or a mod. Not you. Your unoriginal insult bares absolutely no possible help to the OP. At least I told them the exact section to look in, while you sit here and babble off old sayings and a line from the weakest link. And the OP needs to search. There are literally 3 sections with the answer. The general section that has a thread with a link to MY SS QA thread, the development section again has a thread with a link to my thread and the QA section that has *gasp* my SS QA thread. All of them are literally on the first page of each section.

All users are expected to do some searching prior to posting questions, those are the rules.
As this question has answers (as stated above) and it is clear there is not value of additional, constructive commentary in here. I am shutting this one down.
Users are expected to read, study, and learn. The back and forth junk does not help.
Read this for a reminder of what we are here for..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16682226&postcount=2441
i've been using LiquidSmooth for a few months and love it....except for one problem... ASOP doesn't play well with the Sprint network. before that Triforce was my driver
I've been trying to get my APN working on this "Echo" s5 port, but ive never had any luck changing these settings (help me!)
I really love the look/feel/options that come from ASOP roms, but apparently I need to go back to an ugly Touchwiz rom in order to reliably connect to sprint's towers (PRL/Profile updates)
So what do you all recommend in terms of stability and tweak-ability (xposed, etc)
right now im looking at NegaLite and Sac's
+1 for Nega. Super stable and devs his own kernel.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
This should be in the Q&A section, but to answer you, both Nega & Sacs are impressive, Nega is more inverted however, I believe you can get the stock theme for it however, Sacs to me has more tweaks from multiple galaxy devices, but thats V6, the recent NG2 is still being updated.
Thank you both for your input. Nega seems good so far so i'll just stick with that until Sac has a chance to update. Parkourkid93, care to elaborate on what Sac used from other Galaxy devices? I'm quite jealous of ultra power save.
Sac Rom!!!
