original android - android development - what? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

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.

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.

[Q] Difference between "Development" and "Original development" forums?

[Q] Difference between "Development" and "Original development" forums?
As the title says, whats the difference between "Development" and "Original development" forums?
There's no threads in either to give me any clues.
At least I'm not the only one that's clueless. lol
The Original Development area is intended for posting of new work, which isn’t derived from existing work on XDA (in whole or significant part).

Android Development is more for customized versions of other roms/kernels, like cm10, paranoidandroid, aokp.
Original Android Development is for original development. Like a kernel that isn't based on anything but AOSP.
Thank you for the answers everyone. Feel like a right noob now!

Hit thanks if i helped.
Sorry for being a killjoy, but this belongs to general.
If you havn't developed it, it doesn't really belong in development.

I dont understand your question..My post won't affect any one in any way.
I agree, I'ts AWESOME!! :good:
I just think this s3mini dev section is cluttered with general posts.
Even rooted stock firmware should belong to general as there is no developement done. Just adding a few already existing files doesn't really make it developement imo, unless you add your own scripts, mods, tweaks or something.
Same goes for threads with guides, tips, questions, pure stock firmware. None of it really belong in dev-section as nothing has been developed or not even had an intention to develop anything. This section is full of things like that!
Yeah people want to reset the counter, but if they have questions about it they should go to q&a or general. It has already been posted on several places within s3mini section.
The forum also have a search function and you will find info that triangle away now supports i8190. No need to post everything everywhere.
This section is cluttered and needs to be cleaned up. This is just my opinion but I think some agree.
As an example, this is how a dev section should look like.
Thank you.
any one have tested if work ? if worked just confirme to dev and if not just give hime report
AW: Download Binary Counter Reset app support
Yes, it works.
Also when its nonsense in this part of development,
I think there will be many many hapy users like me who doesn t know this new thing.
I accept the rules.
The order is most important! :thumbup:
But i think a little "chaos" will help people with chreativiy (?) to find more neccessary ideas to help the world.
And hardlinking is a way to share info to the world.
Why should only Galaxy S 2 users to be able to know this new app?
Otherwise i suppose, the thread from chainfire about the triangle away belongs to General Android Section. Hmpf...
Well, in future i suppose to make things as it rules.
Thanks, i m fresh here in the forum.

I never said it was nonsense. Only that it was in wrong section.
This is nothing against you at all. No hard feelings!
I'ts more of a question why the moderators doesn't do their job!?!?
After all there's six of them but I havn't seen none of them doing anything.

Oh well..so these rules don't apply anymore?
General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
Q&A Forums - For all question threads / posts. If there is no Q&A forum use the device General Forum
Accessories subforum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the phone model
Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to Kernels, Bootloaders, ROMs, etc.
Themes and Apps Forums - For themers to post Themes and App. announcements & discussions including modifications made to Apps and Themes.
Afaik Dev-section is for developers to post their work, not for regular users to post other peoples work.. Am I wrong?
About bug reports, it would be better to post them in original thread. How else would Chainfire take notice about them?
have some one teasted on LA version i8190L
Thanks

[Q] quick question

I have a verizon dev edition.
I've normally just ran the roms in the android development section.
With this unified section do all the roms work for all carriers? So will any of these work on Verizon?
If you guys wouldn't mind, is t here one rom here that is more stable then others or stable enough for daily use?

Unified will only work on US T-Mobile variant and a bunch of over seas models. If you have ATT, Verizon etc the unified is not your section. Please move this to Q&A now

Questions or even "quick question" and especially topics that are not titled correctly, ie descriptive of content do not belong in a "development" forum.
If you take a look at the threads in this forum can you spot the blatantly odd one out?
Questions belong in the "Q&A" forum.
