Not to happy....

So I tried to post in a ROM thread and get a message saying I'm not aloud cause I'm under 10 post and no expert but yet I was able to post there the other day twice which was no repost or a noob question. So now I can't post a question that still has not been posted by anyone else or has been posted anywhere. So guess I need to just make random post bout 7 more time so that can make me a expert at knowing what's going on just to post in certain threads ... Cool

What did you want to post? They had an announcement a few days ago about why new members (under ten posts) would no longer be able to post in the development section. Nothing to get upset over.

I have never heard of this happening but I guess if you say so.
I know you can't post links or files being a junior member but that's a new one on me.

Why not just post your question now?

Maybe this will shed some light on it.

Well like I said I was able to post twice just yesterday them now I can't and I brought it up to a buddy and he explained to me bout the new rule but kinda sux fir people like me I just sit back and wait cause most the time someone else always ends up asking questions that I have I mean I'm no expert but at the same time I know what I'm doing just by reading most of what's going on. But the question I had was I'd anyone knew of anything bout CM putting in more themes in the rom itself or there gonna be a new thread where we can dl them from? Also what if I had a problem to report bout a rom but couldn't post in the right thread am I to make a new one or sit back and wait to see if anyone ever post the same problem? Thanx for the help/advice

Generally the themes are in the "Themes and Apps" section. I think they figure that if you've gone through the process of rooting your phone, learning to use adb and flashing ROMs and kernels you've probably exceeded ten posts. They just want to keep the development sections clean so the developers stick around. I happen to think that's a great idea.

All you have to do is post ten times before you can post there, and if you are here enough contributing that shouldn't be so hard...?
It's a great idea. If you are going to root your phone and flash ROMs, hopefully you've taken the time to know everything involved in doing so.
Too many root their phones and have no idea what they are doing. It's not that hard to read and watch video to learn how things work.

Its kinda hard to contribute when u can't post in the rite thread. That's the whole point of this rant but also to just get me up to 10 post so when I do have a question or something that has not been brought to the table I can contribute!

Unfortunately, 90% of the posts by new users are in the wrong thread when they post to the development section. If you are in the 10% that do know what that section is for, then great, make your 10 posts and unlock the door. And thank you for contributing! Once you have been for awhile, you'll start to see for yourself why they made that change.

If it was a question then.. it shouldn't been in development
There's your problem from the start
Imo I think they should make the post count higher to post in development or even better they should hafta get a mod to approve if your allowed to

I'm down for a higher post count, 10 can be too simple, and people can just post a bunch of stupid ish in random forums to get to it. If you have a specific question about a rom, chances are you haven't read through the 30+ pages of that thread. So instead of posting about it again, search JUST the rom thread, not the android dev. forum, with 1-2 keywords of your problem, more likely than not, you will find a fix for your problem, or see that it is still unresolved.

I've been coming to XDA for about 6 months now, but I haven't been posting on the threads because I'm able to solve issues myself. It sucks that they just added this when there are plenty of people who are mature enough to search and solve their problems without complaining about not being able to find a fix. It seems like, once again, the ignorance of few have ruined it. I guess I'll just have to answer some questions until I get up to 10 posts so I can actually give input on bugs and other ROMs I test.

XDA answered your questions and provided ROMs to flash for your enjoyment for 6 months... I think 7 more informative/helpful posts is the least you can do to give back.

I'm also working my way up to 10 so that I can join in the CM7 discussion on this forum.

That is a ridiculous rule. It only does one thing it keeps some spamer or troll from sighing up and do his dirty deeds quick. Nothing else.
I have over hundred post and a title like "senior member", like that's supposed to be anything. I can tell you right now I don’t no my head from my ass. ~ & worse; I think I'm funny.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with spamming and trolling. If it was to control spam and trolls, don't you think they would have applied some kind of rule to ALL forums and not just the developer forums?
It's blatantly obvious that it's to keep people who don't know any better from posting off-topic non-development questions in the development forums. By the time somebody makes 10 posts, they've hopefully figured out where to post things.

I honestly can't believe this is even an issue... its 10 freaking posts. Get over it.

Keep replying to us, just keep it on topic. You need 10 posts to post in development.

What's the test instance? Just say stuff like you're looking forward to gingerbread and within and roms to get your post count up.

PM me then I can post up the thread for you and give you all the credit.

Well, I think the Mesmerize and Fascinate are one in the same, so that probly helps.

Yes it was a port from another platform, the mesmerize.

Actually, I agree with this completely, and will see about getting all the Accessory forums merged since the models are 100% identical.

How about themes and apps that are cross compatible?
Samsung achieved a huge accomplishment by getting the same phone released in the same form on all major US carriers. They're not very different as evidenced by some/many of the hacks. Splitting up the forums is a step backwards and prevents users from reaping the benefits of the work/discoveries accomplished by developers on other carriers. But, I suppose I understand the pressure of giving in to dipshits that don't read or search.

They could have the "Galaxy S III Accessories" and the "Galaxy S III Themes and Apps" sections simply link to the international section.

I was a huge proponent of the merge back when it happened. Unfortunately it led to a major mess that I should have better anticipated. As it is now for members supporting multiple devices, they tend to create a thread for each carrier.

note 4 conversion help pls

Seeing how info is all over the place and search is not a friendly thing today. Im new but not dumb. I found out that 5.0.1 is NOT where to be to effectively achieve DE mode & root. Also is this pretty stable from beginning to end with exceptions to KR? I guess really I have questions before jumping into this regardless of ALL the research and data I sift through. So can somebody kindly give me some time to ask these questions its easy to say go search or Google that lol. But we all don't have identical note 4 set ups. I will have to FR and take a chance on something truly not 100%. don't want to be that guy with a brick cause he followed instructions. I know its all at my own risk but its easy to talk about blowing cash on devices when neither is not yours. Js. Any help pls? Last time I had “questions“ on the site I got no help or replies. I have retail note 4, 5.0.1, Gates Jr debloated, I just have questions. The rest is a walk.

I think this should have been posted in the Q&A section of this forum, but you could ask me questions if you'd like. I can't promise I can answer all of them, but I have already successfully converted my phone and run through quite a few issues during the process that I could help with.

Video preview of my upcoming ROM for the T710

hey everyone, I'm new to the tab s2 forums, just got this device a while ago on my bday and I've hated the stock rom from day 1 so i decided to do something about it.. since xda doesn't allow me to make a placeholder thread, hence a video preview for now
https://youtu.be/DV-erJB8EeA
do let ne know what else you guys want in the rom, your feedbacks will be appreciated really

Nice preview. Why don't you post your beta, we could test your build and it will be easier to get feedback for you

Nice, can't wait for the release will test it definitely

Will be excellent
I have t810, I hope, when this rom became stable, to make extension to t810

There will be some UX apps later on, about the theme store let me check
