New section for Android software development - About xda-developers.com

Android ROM development rules

The Android ROM development subforum is a fact. Congrats on getting Android running on the Omnia 2.
Now, just a few rules to keep it clean and focused on Android.
Always make sure you credit the source from where you get your builds/kernels/tools. The original developer did alot of work and should be known for it.
Don't post any warez. If you're unsure, don't post, but ask first. But I think that's stating the obvious.
Use [TAGS] in your threads. [Kernel] for kernels, [ROM] for ROM images, [APP] for applications, etc.
Keep your thread up-to-date. Which means, your first post or info.
Thanks for reading this. I hope we get some great Android development going here.
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Moderator.

ATT: Posting in development section

This section is ONLY, for android developing for this device specifically.
All other threads (non accessories or themes/apps that have their own section) are posted in general section!
Thank you,

☞[READ ME 1st] ☆.☆.☆ If YOU DID NOT CREATE "it" THEN IT DOESN'T BELONG IN DEVELOPMENT

☞[READ ME 1st] ☆.☆.☆ If YOU DID NOT CREATE "it" THEN IT DOESN'T BELONG IN DEVELOPMENT
NOTICE: If You did not create the ROM, KERNEL, FIX, MOD, APP, HACK, GUIDE, or if it's not a SOURCE CODE then it should go to Epic 4G Touch General as it doesn't belong in Development.
If your thread can be phrased as a question, it DEFINITELY doesn't belong in Development either. If you post it in Development it will be moved/closed and you may get an infraction or a ban.
There is only 1 exception, stock ROMs are allowed, as long as the link does not require a registration to download the ROM.
You may start planning a [DEV] topic on General or QA and then have it moved to the Epic 4G Touch Android Development section once the actual Development has started.
☞ Development is classified as original work and/or documented edits and changes made to others work (with their permission) that makes it your own.
Stock ROM dumps that are modified (deodexed, etc.) from the manufacturer's original intent and then repackaged together classifies as development.
Kernel's and Recovery obviously classify as development as they are modified and compiled from source
☞ Themes are graphical/visual changes made to a ROM which make's the ROM visually different from the original work, i.e. different battery icons, a blue-color scheme, etc. They may be packaged up together with a full ROM and deployed the same way. Simply running a script (not made by you) to deodex and then packaging other people's work/MOD's into one place does not constitute original development.
Follow the FORUM RULES and the XDA MANTRA and we'll all get along and enjoy this community!
Thank you for your cooperation.
