***Roll-Up Sticky Thread*** Stickies found here!

Hi all. It appears there are quite a few stickies now and you need to scroll halfway down the page to find that rom or mod you are looking for. This is where you can find the "Stickied" pages that usually appear on top of everything else. Just click the link and you're good. It was brought to my attention that we have an influx of new users that may not know where to find the important info. I have decided to re-stick some of the "important" threads to make them all visible again on their own. Thank you for your time.

Device Forum Rules (Please Read before posting)

In this thread we will provide a short FAQ for your stay on this forum. Please read thoroughly and act accordingly.
While most that is needed to know is pointed out in the FORUM RULES, history shows that some points of these rules are not clearly understood by some users and others leave room for interpretation. With these FAQs we give you some additional guidelines how the forum for this device is moderated.
Who are the moderators for this forum?
The team leaders for the Tablets, Moto, ZTE, Lenovo and Wearables team are coal686 and Perseus
Moderators are: LenAsh, Fobos531, murtaza02
How do I contact the moderating crew?
While you are free to contact any of us via PM, for moderating purposes it is much more advisable to use the report system. If you do that, your request reaches ALL moderators thus increasing the chance of a quick response to your request. If you PM a moderator, he or she does not know whether you have contacted others too, and therefore it is possible that your request is handled by different moderators, causing confusion all round. In the report system the ticket system avoids that. Therefore please always use the report system.
Where do I post my thread/issue/question?
This is an important decision and determines not only whether you achieve the goal you intend with your thread, but also whether it might be regarded as off-topic/not allowed and therefore be removed. So here is a list to help you decide where to put your thread (or maybe to not post it at all).
Questions & Answers
What goes here:
All device/ROM/kernel/mods/themes related questions, and the corresponding answers
Advice on ROM or device choice
Any requests for device files
Basic "how or what" type questions
General (mature devices) or Guides, News, & Discussion (recent devices)
What goes here
Guides, Collections, Tutorials
News items
Collections of device files
ROM and other code files for download with NO Development intent
General information about the device
Tips and Tricks
Every general discussion about technical aspects of device
What does not go here (by far an incomplete list, just some examples for topics that are not tolerated)
Everything prohibited by above linked forum rules.
The forum rules apply so that means no trolling/arguing etc. will be accepted.
"What was your last phone/will be your next phone" (Off-Topic to this phone, post that in OT-Forum)
"Hello"/"Goodbye"/"Merry Christmas,Easter,Hannukkah, whatever" (Obviously OT, just imagine every user posts that)
"I'll never buy HTC again", "Why HTC/Samsung/whoever sucks" and all other "hate"-threads (Tell that to those guys, not us)
"Help!", "How do I...", "Why..." and all other Questions (belong in Q&A)
ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development
What goes here:
All discussions related to YOUR OWN development (ROMs, kernels, recoveries and flashable mods, exact rules for creating a thread there see in stickies of that section)
What does not go here:
Any Questions!!!
Themes, Apps, and Mods
What goes here:
All discussions related to theming and applications (self made and others) for this phone
Accessories
What goes here:
All discussions related to hardware accessories to this phone
Not allowed in ANY section (and also not in signatures):
everything prohibited by above linked forum rules
specified or implied off-topic threads
Discussion of / Linking to work of developers that are banned from XDA. If they are banned, so is their work.
political/religious statements of any kind
Where can I post things that are not allowed in Device Forum ?
You might want to have a look in General forums like:
General Discussion
Off-Topic Section
Android Development and Hacking
What do I do when I do not understand a moderators decision?
Please feel free to contact the moderator via PM to get his decision explained. If that does not satisfy you, contact the team-leader.
DO NOT, however, discuss any moderating issues in forum. This will always be regarded off-topic (which it actually is).
Now let's all have fun on this forum and help make XDA THE place where users can gain useful information instead of sifting through knee-deep piles of unorganised stuff!
Thanks - your moderating team for Tablets, Wearables, Moto and ZTE devices

GNU General Public License, version 3​
Kernel Developers
In order to be fully GPL compliant, your sources must:
Successfully build and produce a valid output file, which is the same format as provided in the binary
Contain all source code, interface definition files, scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable (it is not required to include the actual compiler/toolchain, but sufficient information should be made available to obtain the SAME configuration, including compiler flags, as used to build the binary version as released)

Click to collapse
ROM Developers
If your ROM uses custom boot.img the source must be provided.
If the kernel you are using was created by someone else, you must link to their source.
If your ROM contains a stock kernel, source must still be linked - ie; link to htc-dev kernel page.
Using a non GPL compliant kernel makes your ROM non compliant and subject to removal.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is an example of how your kernel sources should appear in your development thread's OP (original post):
My Awesome Kernel
Source: [LINK] - Linked directly to where your source is located, ie; github, bitbucket, htc-dev.
Compiler: Linaro GCC 4.8 [LINK] - Link not nessacery but is helpul.
Branch: Android 4.2.2
Kernel Version: 3.10
defconfig: vigor
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Custom Recoveries
For (TWRP) Recoveries V3 = GPL --> we follow the GPL and enforce sources. For (TWRP) Recoveries V2 = Apache --> No source needed.
*** Modified source must be published on XDA in the OP, unmodified source must be linked (TWRP-Website) ***

XDA-Developers and the GPL​
Violating the GNU General Public License, version 3 is breaking the law. We will not go lightly on violators.
Thank you for your attention.
ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development Section
This section is for ROMS, Kernels, Recoveries etc
Try to keep the development forum CLEAN! No offtopic posting and no questions.
Use the report button in an offending post to let us mods know we need to take action. Dont take matters into your own hands!!!
Sources need to be posted for all kernels!!! Also for all ROMS where license demands it.
You need to use TAGS like [ROM] or [KERNEL] and so on as used in all dev forums throughout XDA
Any disputes between developers should be handled by pm. No public posting in a dev thread regarding these matters
Rom issues should be discussed within their respective threads
Thread titles should ALWAYS coincide with ROMS ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!!! No advance notification of incoming ROM through thread title. A changelog for the yet unreleased Rom can be included in the OP or in another post CLEARLY MARKED as EXPECTED CHANGELOG
All posts that are NOT about ROM development, or development in general will be closed or deleted. Posters that will choose to disregard the previous guidelines will be infracted.
