how to be a developer on this forum? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a ROM developer, i want to be a developer on xda, how to do it?

develop rom and put them in the development section.. wait until you get some fans.
BAM your a dev

I googled you, if that site is in fact you, then it seems legit once I translated the page.
To even be able to post a reply in the Dev section, you have to have ten posts under your belt. To post a new thread I think is the same. If you take a look in the Dev section here in the Vibrant forum, your rom is already hosted in two other threads. You will be able to host it yourself if you want, and I'm thinking you probably do. If you can prove you are the rightful owner of the build, you can request those others be closed by the mods if you choose to do so. Good luck around here, welcome to the community.
Edit - I wondered where that lidroid rom came from, never bothered to google it until tonight.

Froyo for hero?

So I see that google have rolled out froyo for nexus ones now. Will this make it easier for devs to create a hero port and is anyone working on one?
Q& A MY FRIEND NOT DEVELOPMENT! (which is where this will go if its not deleted)
Developers are on the case but its not just a case of google releasing source then BAM! developers release it too,needs alot of fine tuning before release..Follow people on twitter to see progress..koush,cyanogen,villainrom,nprussel,feeyo (if he has one),wesgarner all these devs are working on froyo at the minute..
Please think about the topic before posting,if it is development post here,Q&A post there,Theme or app post there.
Please post questions like this in GENERAL OR QnA!?
There are already threads on this subject. Have a look around before posting next time.
Sorry
Oops, very sorry, feel free to delete or move this.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to q&a

Is it testing? Or released?

I hate you
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Is that really working or is it just "in development" still?
Hyao, gtfo, you are a spammer and/or moron.
Well it says RC so I dont think its fully stable yet
Why don't you do two things:
Add "question" to your thread's title so that forum viewers don't burst in excitement as they see a thread labeled CyanogenMod and think that a release candidate is ready for download.
Post questions in the Q&A section. If a CyanogenMod thread is going to be in the development section, it should be about development.

if you would have clicked on your own link you would realize that you are wrong...wow, I now see why devs leave xda, it's a shame really, us users need to be more aware. the only person (okay not the only) that didn't post his roms here was htc clay for the g1 but someone would post it here "with his permission" not just random post like this one...it's not hard ppl just do your homework before you post something...

Before anything else....title of the forum is not Cynogenmod for vibrant....lol....
Actually it looks like there is a RC0 release foor the Vibrant but it is likely only available for the devs:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8302-the-state-of-the-galaxy/
It appears a reminder may be in order, about the purpose of the development fora on XDA.
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

Is there really room for so many "original" ROMs?

Please, don't get me wrong, but last time I counted there was near 30 ROMs.
Which of them are really "original" and deserve to be here?
More than this post deserves to be in development!!!
But he does have a point!
The dev forums are for development threads only - not for discussions. If you don't understand that then don't post anywhere.
Edit: I've msg'd a mod.
A lot of the "roms" in this thread are not "roms" but "kernels", and yes they are original
Its all about choice mate simple as that if you want to build a rom you can as can many others its nothing but a hobby .
jje
its all quite pathetic really the state of this forum. Mods have made a crap decision, the vast majority of people know that but they dont want to go back on it and look stupid.
They should get over themselves, its a bloody forum to help and share things. If they wanted to tidy up the development section a bit then the answer is quite simple and been mentioned many times.
Have a ROM section, a KERNEL section and a THEME section
a rom is a rom is a rom, stop sodding about with them.
They changed it this way as a temporary solution because of the crapload of roms in there. They're working on a new interface to make everything easier. Stop *****ing now okay?

*** Looking for DEVS to help make our dreams possible ***

Mods let me know if this is allowed or not. I mean for this to be in the Android Software Development thread, not in the Amaze forums.
We owners of the HTC Amaze are looking for Devs to help bring a variety of ROMs to our devices. We've really only had modified stock roms on this phone, thanks to HTC.
So we've decided to put up a bounty thread in hopes of attracting developers to help us. It can be found over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749951
So far we have a bit of money up for grabs and the thread was only created today, so I know there will be more people that are willing to donate to the cause.
Linked thread has been straightened out and a lot more people are adding in amounts!
If the OP of the original thread wants it moved then they should report it to their forum moderator. Don't just post a new thread with a link.
Thread closed.

Bring back Evilution HD

I'm starting this thread in hopes to bring back Evilution HD. The thread was closed because of "technical reasons". I call BS. I know there was some issue with one of the ROMs developers in the past, and that's why it was closed.
The developer that had the issues wasn't posting anything in the thread, he just simply helped with a project. It seems as though they closed the thread, just because his name was credited, which isn't that the right thing to do?
I don't want to stir stuff up, but that ROM (IMO) is the best, most stable ROM to date, and I would like to be able to get it from my #1 source for all things android.
I'm sure that there is a lot of the backstory behind this developer that I'm missing, but the mods aren't punishing the dev, they're punishing us.

Sorry to tell you this but the rom will never be back. It has nothing to do with this moderator doesnt like this person or that. I has nothing to do with credits. It has to do with the fact that the rom is that of a banned member and once you are banned from xda all works of yours is not allowed to be on xda any longer. Blame it on that developer not those in the past. They should have known better than to think it would fly because someone else posted it.
THREAD CLOSED.
DO NOT START ANOTHER ONE
