Develop Bugs

Developer/Wannabe-Developer Q & A section/Google plus group

Taking into account the fact that the Desire section does not have a subforum within the Development section for questions on Rom/Android development, and the fact that questions within the General section are generally ignored by most developers, I thought of a thread to maintain a database of devs/senior members wanting to learn Rom development/discuss dev questions..
You can add yourself to the list by specifying in the following format:
Google plus link (as a gplus.to link, not email addresses), Dev/Wannabe-dev/Experienced user/Enduser (in your own opinion)
If the dev adds you too to his/her group, you'll be able to ask questions, and get answers related to devlopment..In addition I will be maintaining a Huddle/Hangout on the basis of this list, with live chat.. Guys, use it efficiently..No flooding please!
Mine first, gplus.to/droidzone
You can even ask questions related to development on this section, but dont expect quick answers, especially dont think that I'll always be answering either!
Thread rules:
Research your question (search google and xda) before asking.
Only questions related to actual development will be entertained.
Just because devs read this thread, if you ask silly questions already answered elsewhere, we'll permanently ignore your question
This is not for questions on issues related to a particular Rom. Ask those on the ROM's thread. If you dont have permissions to post it there, start your own Q/A thread

Developers list
The order in which names are listed is only on the basis of the order in which members have joined the group..

Fine..though not being able to discuss with a lot of others does rather defeat the purpose, doesnt it? Maybe you should have another gplus profile for the dev incarnation, like I do

is that because I am in the wrong thread or because I am a newbie?

Why? Because you've supplied no real info about your phone or what you've tried doing etc. You've basically said "I tried to flash a ROM and it didn't work. Any idea why?". Not very informative is it?
And it's besides the point anyway. There are literally loads of guides about to help you (Bortak's being a good start). All you need to do is "search".

The forum rules require to use search. This has been asked and answered many times.
Also there is a big troubleshooting sticky thread in the QA section and yep, its in the wrong section, should be in the QA section.

Sure. You are right about the 'no real info' warning. I had to provide it - no questions about that.
Regarding your 'search' comments, I am not a newbie to the 'internet' or 'search'ing. Before I try to login and post a question to any forum I try to make sure I could not find someone else experience the exact problem and a solution for it.
Anyway sorry for wasting your time guys. This thread can be deleted by the mods.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A

Given the info it can be anything, but in my short experience, when stuck in boot, a full wipe and re-download of the ROM has usually helped..

How much time did you wait ? First time, some roms take some time. Some patience is required first time.

helps to find someone to mentor you...to help you learn and teach you...you also need to start simple "customise a rom" or port one but LEARN as you do it...also google will help alot....but it's pointless following a guide IF you dont know wtf your doing you need to learn and remember things.....simple way to learn is to follow the make your own recovery guide i made....

Does this help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661770

he said a bit more than that but you get idea.

But how do I know that I'm ready to enter this stuff.also in the tutorial he was saying that it is for gingerbread or it doesn't matter??

top right...click where it says "Find Your Device..."
then start typing "HTC Ins"
or "HTC Desire HD"
not sure which one is your phone.
then the stickies and google should be able to find you all the guides you need, not just for rooting .
i doubt you'll need to open another thread because the question is likely to have been asked and answered a few times...good luck!

Basic help please.

Hey there, I'm still relatively new to the whole android scene. I understand the basics for most other phones but when it comes to HTC, I get lost. I just purchased a G2 and I've heard there are some pretty good stuff available for it as long as you do it right. So, I guess my question is, how do I do it right? I know there's something about unlocking your bootloader and getting s-off but thats about it. If it's already been posted on here, sorry.
Thanks!
