[HOW-TO]Report Problem and Bug [Proper Way]

I been wanted to create this thread for longtime because i find that user way of reporting bugs isn't much positive
This lead to particular OP for the Rom Build/Mods/Apps/Themes unable to provide a proper fix
Particular problem is from the user whom take for granted steps & reading just for sake finding for "downloads"

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Therefore i would like introduce few steps that make OP & User with their problem easier​
Post at correct forum (Particular Device)
I found that some particular user posted on wrong forum that are not related
Example :: problem on Xperia XXXX ROM on Samsung Forum thread(This Is Improper)
Please Post on the Device Forum that dedicated for your device only
[*]Post at particular Thread that you have encounter problem
If you have a problem/bug to report on XXX Rom.Do Report on XXX Rom Thread & not YYY Rom or other's
If there's a Solution/FAQ Page for the particular rom do report on the thread instead the [DEV] thread
Doesn't require to open a thread on the Android Development Forum.It's just spam at there.We hate it(I mean you not suppose to)
[*]Do Not Use The Private Message Button
Please Never Ever Sent Any PM to developers just to report the bug you encountered.Post it on the particular thread that mentioned
Developers/OP will have an eye on it.Therefore doesn't need to sent pm to report your's
Do appreciate work by the developers & respect they have their own time too.Keep your question on thread
[*]Read OP Pages At least twice
The place that you will gain all the info you should have
Read every single notice/quote/information/instruction/faq/other's written page
Do not just head to the download section and press the download
Get every info on which particular thing you need and what you should do to install it
[*]Follow ALL the instruction given
When the OP Posted Wipe Cache & Dalvik.It mean to select that particular option only
If the OP Posted Use Only Select/Recommend Kernel.Please do only flash/install particular kernel only
Follow each and all instruction properly(No lazyness/Skipping) any one of those
[*]Search through thread whether the similar problem has been reported
Let say you have setting fc's everytime you enable the sound option.Do search before whether other user have reported or not
If The Particular Problem/Bug has been reported.Doesn't need another user to report it.(Duplicating post)
[*]Give Proper Report
Give A Report Such As This
What steps/instruction did you used?
Did you try wipe & cache
Did you tried it more then twice?
What kernel you are running on?
Which version of build you are having problem with
Do Explain the problem clearly.If you have random reboot upon selecting theme manager,
do report that it's due to the theme manager not just saying "I have random reboot"
If possible provide a screenshot
Do provide an adb logcat (everyone on this forum should have at least logcat skill)
This is one of the best answer for the dev/op to fix if you unable to describe all the problem
[*]Do not ask or force the OP/Developers to fix the problem
No matter what problem you are having,no words such as "Please" fix the problem
Developers have their own time,they choose to fix what they want,You don't pay for what you download
[*]Take your third party installation problem away
Let say you have installed a third party mod (Ex: Beats Audio) ,if you encounter any problem please post on the beats audio thread instead
If You having problem by supercharging or installing any third party patch do take to the particular thread or keep it on your own.
[*]Stop Asking Whether Will This Work Or Not
:Facepalm: Please try it yourself or see over comment by user.
If you want to know just install and test it yourself
If you afraid bricking then never go near a development thread.There's always a Risk
[*]Press thanks button to user/devs that helped you
[*]Provide logcats whenever possible
Dmesg & Logcat using simple terminal emulator
Code:
su
dmesg >/mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt
logcat -d -v time >/mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt
Hope This Clear Enough For All User To Report Problem On What they encounter.
As developer a positive bug report are very useful to us to fix all the problem that we might not noticed
With proper method,this will not just help us to get problem solved but less unwanted post or waste of time
Any suggestion/fix can be made with reply below v
Hope this does what it does.
I recommend all user especially new member that join XDA to read this
We don't want keep reporting 10poster/spam user.Moderator have life too ​

The tool for creating ROMs is here
I, gnmmarechal, am the creator of GS-Kitchen, which aimed to port Dsixda's ROM Kitchen to Windows. That project has been stopped, and GS-Kitchen *RELOADED* replaced it. GS-Kitchen *RELOADED* was completely remade, and it includes more features, such as easier creation of ROMS and more supported formats for source (such as IMG files, ZIP files and ODIN TAR.MD5 files). This is still work in progress, as this version will take much more time to develop. Feel free to try the old version of GS-Kitchen.
Version 0.4.1 includes a LTC mining tool to help us paying for file hosts, for example. However, this option can be disabled inside the kitchen.

I may release it sunday.

I'm now making the Build.prop editor. This script will then be adapted to 1)Build.prop tweaker and 2)Settings. Both will be avaliable under the ROM Settings menu. Currently, it is working, and it also makes a backup of build.prop

Great work,i cant wait to try it out.[emoji106]

Developer Preview #01!
Hello, I need some testers to test the ROM Porting option found inside Advanced Settings (a project must be created in order to access Settings, create a project with the "Empty Project" option. This is only a developer preview, and it is not ready to be used yet.

So, did anyone test this?

Thanks to a tester, I can say that the ROM Porting Options must be fixed, because for some reason the program quits after extracting both ROMS. Could anyone open the batch file and try to find the error? I will continue trying to find the error, but I must work on other features, so, I won't be so focused on ROM Porting. Anyone, join the team?

Does this plan been discontinued?

No, but I have faced several errors, like the one in the ROM Porting tool, and I can't find it. If someone could help me, I would continue working on GSK.

Help to enable Miracast feature to Dongles (EZCast, EasyCast, etc) NOT for Smart TV i

Hello:
I've posted a thread in my model of phone, to enable Miracast featura. As you probably know, Miracast feature is used in almost all phones since Android 4.2.x
Heres is the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-blade/general/miracast-zte-blade-l3-t3203223
I also quote the actiones I've been taking in Stock Rom rooted with KingRoot
Hi, this is my first post. I'm a self-experienced using Android. For year I had no problems with my devices. I had a Motorola G 1st generation who worked fine, but I waste it. Now, I bought ZTE Blade L3. Such as Moto G, Miracast feature is not enable (at least in my stock rom).
I want to know if this device is compatible with that technology (read that works in every phone since 4.2.x).
This phone has Android KK 4.4.4.
Tried to first connect trough WiFi Direct a Miracast Dongle (easycast), but the phone doesn't connect. Then, I tried whith screen cast option, and the same. Finally, I looked forums how to unlock modifying bootloader.ini, just as I had to do Moto G. I added the lines with BuildProp editor after rooting with Kingo Root:
persist.sys.wfd.virtual=0
persis.debug.wfd.enable=1
AAAAAND nothing happens
I need some help, first to know compatibility (wifi drect certification page is down, unfortunately), if there is a ROM that solve this problem (CM maybe?) and if there are other lines that I must add to buildprop.
Thank you very much for your asnwers, and sorry for the bad english (I'm from Chile).
If you need any further information, please ask!!! :laugh:
UPDATE: use #MirrorEnabeler and the message is "Your Rom is lacking the audio_submix file. You must contact your device mantainer and ask them NICELY no imlement it. Please refer to the red part of the original post on XDA-Developers" This going to take long time, so decided to install stock ROM from other country using SP Flash tool, to see if it has the same problem.
UPDATE 2: Stock ROM from other country, same problem. Rooted the phone to make changes using KingRoot. Followed instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 The thread was closed, and will create another thread for dongles (no chromecast)
It says, or those STILL having issues,
Check /system/lib/hw directory for the file "audio.r_submix.default.so".
If it doesn't exist, ask your device maintainer to add audio.r_submix.default to
the product_packages in the device.mk file. (You may not know what it means, but they will.)
So, Asked my mobile company to do the changes, they said "the manufacter must". Contacted ZTE to do what is being said, and ther is still no answer.
Will ask in thread posted after, to see if they can help me. Please let me know if somebody can run Miracasr in his Blade (also did't found another ROM that's not a Stock one)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I´ve trying to contact manufacter to enable the feature, but It is probable that the stock ROM (from my country) is blocking the feature, just for buying an more expensive phone.
There is NO custom Rom yet stable for my rom (MTK device)
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Regards and SFMBE.

Got the answer from ZTE.
Said this: " am sorry to inform you that you cannot have miracast individually custom-made to use on this device hence there is no authority of Miracast.
Should there be further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. "
So, they cannot create the file that I asked. So, my mobile company and the manufacter said "no way dude".
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME IF IN A CUSTOM ROM IS A WAY TO CREATE audio.r_submix.default FILE!"????
SOMEBODY CAN HELP ME PLEASE????
REGARDS

Hello

[TOOL][WINDOWS] Watchface digital signing application (WDS)

Hi, this is basically an alpha version of an Digital signing application i made for the guys that make the watchfaces for the chinese smartwatches like no1. d6 and finow q1. It signs both the xml files and the png graphics with a signature made with the help of a self signing certificate. The certificate is generated in the application and all of the signatures can be verified.
With the application you can :
*Create self signed certificates (certificates are saved in a ".pfx" file locally)
*Delete self signed certificates
*Sign XML files
*Sign Png files
*Verify signed XML and Png files
I have made some choices along the way with this app that i think are logical like if you try to sign files that already have a digital signature in them then it is overwritten and they are re signed. So for example if you guys don't agree that it should be that way i will listen and make the change before i put out the next version which will be a proper release complete with an installer and everything. The main reason that i have posted the application and started this thread is so you the watchface designers can test out the application and voice your suggestions.
As far as i see everything is working good. So try it out and let me know in the thread if you have any suggestions for improvement or if you find any bugs.
P.S. run the application as admin for now because of permissions!
The application is written in WPF so there might be some differences between older windows versions and newer ones, if the application does not look like in the following screenshots, i would appreciate if you could take a screenshoot and post it in this thread so i can fix the problem.

Thank you very much for this.
I hope you don't mind but I have linked it to our G+ forum where a lot of the trouble was discovered.
I have told them to visit here to say thanks,
Cheers

Hi @xXxGeek,
Thanks for making users aware of this ROM. I've moved this thread to the "OnePlus 5T Guides, News, & Discussion" section and put "[SHARED] in the title because it appears that this ROM isn't your own development.
As outlined in the stickied thread at the top of every section Device Forum Rules (Please Read before Posting):
What goes here:
Publications and releases of your own development (ROMs, kernels, recoveries, etc.; for exact rules for creating such threads, please refer to Post #2 and Post #3 below)
What does not go here:
Any questions, guides, tutorials, general information/discussion, etc.

If I am mistaken and this is your own development, your OP will have to follow the rules in Post #2 "XDA-Developers and the GPL" and Post #3 "ROMs, Kernel, Recoveries, & Other Development Forum" of that stickied thread.

I played with /e/ when it first came out, nothing to special then, but now, wow, it's really grown, at least as a business, even selling preinstalled /e/ into smart phones.
I just got back into /e/ yesterday and flashed e-1.4-r-20220922220394-dev-dumpling
It's working really nice and the Open Camera is even taking really decent pictures, and as you know, that's probably the biggest problem when going to 3rd party ROMs, loosing camera quality.
/e/ has microg well blended into the system, Advanced Privacy is TOR, the wording in the ROM settings shows this as a VPN, /e/ needs to change this and use the word TOR instead, TOR is not a VPN!
Using TOR in a business like this, I'm not so sure it's a good idea. TOR is ok for casual usage, but if /e/ really wants to go after better privacy/safety/security, creating their own VPN network, or aligning with a good VPN company might be a better solution, since /e/ can have control here. Using TOR, even /e/ is just a user, there is no control, and if you want better privacy, safety, security, you need to have control.
