[Q] [REQ] Looking but not commenting on the Dev Only Sections? - About xda-developers.com

Hey
I was wondering if it could be made possible so that normal users could look, but not comment on, the dev only sections?
I for one am not a dev however I would love to look over their current findings and progress on certain things related to cracking the bootloader on the Atrix 4G
Thanks for your time

You can already do this. It is the subforum under atrix 4g, called atrix 4g Android development

Yea but I was told that there is a dev ONLY forum somewhere that we cannot see or post In. :/

Well... whoever told you that is sorta wrong There will be one soon, and there is an old one at present, but I can assure you that you've not missed anything whatsoever in that forum...
All development takes place in the dev forums you can see.
RE the new forum for devs to chat in, it won't be publicly visible, but it's not exactly going to be the place development is going on at...

Ah I see thanks for your help

Seriously?
SERIOUSLY?
I mean, SERIOUSLY?
You couldn't bother to look in either the CM6 Nightlies thread or the Official CyanogenMod 6 thread to see if someone had posted about this? Because I had posted to both those threads about this days ago...
Why oh why are you so full of #fail?
Here's a very simple request: if you're not actually actively involved in Android Development, don't create a thread in the Android Development forum.
Feh.
Are you stupid or retard as phuck did you not read the whole thing. I did apologize if it had been reported since I didn't see in the nightly thread. Truly a dumb fuk, indeed!

Unless you want to get banned I would suggest you cease using that sort of language on this site.
Don't apologize if your question has been asked before, USE the search function and save everyone time.
I don't blame Hebrew for his reaction, the Dev forum is littered with useless threads asking questions instead of searching.

Imho, neither one replied with constructive comments. If nothing else, it let more people become aware of the fix. The op was just trying to help regardless of it being posted elsewhere.

I actually think this does warrant a thread. Some of us not using the CM nightlies don't check it often. And since I think the FN and CAPS led's was not only a nightlies issue, not everyone, including me, would have thought to check just that thread. So to the OP, thanks for the thread, it may convince me to switch to the latest CM nightly.

Respectfully, I disagree. This belongs in the nightlies thread. Fragmenting an existing topic means more threads to check; more threads=more frustrated noobs=more random question threads in dev forum
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
But wasn't the FN/CAPS lights not just specific to the nightlys? I thought this was any Froyo ROM out there had the issue? If anything, maybe it was specific to CM, but if you were not running the nightlys, you would again not know to look there. That was all I thought... I am rnuning TeamFenix with the FN/CAPS lights not working, so I definitely would not have thought to look at the nightlys.
Then again, I guess maybe a different sub forum would have been more appropriate rather than the dev forums...

Team Fenix is based off of CM6, so I would venture to assume that the FN/CAPS problem is a CM6 problem. I think this post belongs in a CM thread as that is where it is best served.

All you had to do with look one *page 1* of the Android Development forum. Page. One. There are *two* threads entirely devoted to CyanogenMod 6 and instead of checking there first, you created a new thread to post about a BUG FIX!
Amazing.
Simply amazing.

I don't think every change deserves a thread...but the original poster didn't do any harm in posting this and making people more aware of the fix. (Other than make the trolls pour out of the wood work) .
It was brought up that this could cause more useless threads to be created...
This could be looked at from another perspective and because there is a dedicated thread people wont make a thread asking for a fix for their keyboard leds. This is all a matter of opinion and there is no right or wrong answer.

Or, better yet, people should be viewing the CM6 changelog on github to learn about new features and bugfixes. And if they want to post about it here, use the threads dedicated to CM6.
This is a VERY simply concept.
I've moved this out of Development, but would like to remind everyone to please keep it friendly.
I agree that we should keep it friendly. I hate how we bash each other especially when the intent of this post was in good spirit. The guy made a mistake, but not one that deserved all this bashing. Please lets be grown ups about this. Thanks.

So....what is the purpose of this thread?
to figure out how to get the ball rolling in an organized way again.. I pm'd mars who ported desire s to see if we can start there again.. I don't know if he can or will use this for his port.. or if we go back to the general thread... I just think to much progress was being made to shut down..

The mods obviously disagreed, so what makes you think starting another thread in the development section was a good idea?
The dev section is for posting actual software...ROMs, kernels, recoveries, etc. Not for discussions. That's what the General section is for.
well for starters...
WHY IS THIS IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION????
btw, ever think of WHY so many devs are leaving and giving up? maybe it's because people like you are spamming the dev section and the rom threads with random garbage.

i really really hate it how the ICS development ended... i just hope it will come back soon.
thanks everyone for all the your hard work
I do have an idea. IDK if you'd agree on this but heres my idea:
All developers from the Desire S, MT4G, Desire HD need to come together to work on ICS. Things would get done faster and we'd basically have the same builds but the developers would independently work on drivers and such alone unless they want to work on 3 devices completely.
I'm just saying this because then the work could get done much faster with developers pulling together. The only other option seems to create additional threads like some others have with different ports but make them completely separate. I do agree that many builds should not be posted within 1 thread. However, I do not agree we should only have 1 thread on ICS. I also agree that people shouldn't be asking the same questions over and over. We could possibly develop some kind of bug reporting policy. The devs could use our help and by us reporting the bugs and making logcats we can further help the developing along faster.

What happened was people couldn't wait one damn minute for a upload and couldn't read what was posted a page back. It was disrespectful. Try doing that on any other thread. It would've came if people just had patients. People have lives outside of xda. (Jobs) Hopefully next time it won't be like that. I'm gonna go on cm7 and post a port of cm9 because they are taking too damn long...get it?

The owner claims that his work was not wanted on xda!
I think that his work would bring a much needed diversity to our device's forum.
I hope im not out of line in asking you to let him publish his work on xda and let atleast a few hundred more people have access to it?
thanks!

Spoiled Chidren Ruining XDA

I have noticed a rash of rude and uncalled for comments lately. Here is a little advice for noobs.
Trolling or Fishing on a Devs thread is childish. How old are you? 12? They take their spare time to develop roms, mods, hacks etc. and give them to us for free. Making comments such as "This rom sucks" is just wrong. If you do not like the rom, don't use it. Respect is earned on this site.
When needing help, please search for the answer first. If you cannot find a good enough explanation, then ask the question politely. Include as much information as possible. Phone code name, Hboot version, S-On or S-Off, What rom you are using etc. I know some people will tag it at the bottom but put it in the description of the question as well. It is hard enough to help someone without having to figure out what kind of phone they have too. Be polite. Hit the thanks button. It is free and does not hurt at all. Remember that XDA is a developers site. They invited you here to share their work with you freely. Senior members help a lot of people on a daily basis and you should keep in mind that they get tired of answering the same question or fixing the same problem. Being polite and keeping your cool will get them to help you a lot faster and things will go alot smoother.
Thanks,
Venomtester

See sig line.
we do get alot of these threads actually. we should make a "thread of shame" but make sure it is made a sticky.
since im ocpd i go through every single evita thread every couple months. =) sometimes i bump old things.
edit: decided to go through One X Android Development just now
i like a clean house
i wish i was a forum mod, cause i see tons of threads that need to be moved and/or locked or both, like the threads that needed to be moved in the dev sections that were just closed but never moved, or were moved but still say "Moved: " in original posted forum.
was this Xperia Z rom port please! not moved but closed in case a dev would see it and want to port it?
why do some threads say "Moved: " but still show up in it's original location? back when the new rules of threads with no downloads can't be in dev section many of those seem show up as "Moved: " which seems beneficial as they originally hinted at dev usage but didn't exactly conform to the rules of that section so seeing them in both places might be helpful?
XDA is just a subset of society.
In society, there are nice people, not so nice people, smart folk, idiots etc.
There will always be a mix of all types here, and while venting about noobs probably makes you feel a little better for a short time, the fact is it isn't going to change a thing.
My advice is just accept that it is how it is. Maybe have another beer and everything will seem just that little bit better.

[Q] {Q}Can someone make A list of Wi-Fi calling enabled roms.

Probally will get royally flamed for bthis or have it removed, But for those like me that have to have wifi calling on our phones, is it possible for someone to make a thread with a list of ROMs with this feature. i would, but since I'm relatively new to this scene, and don'tknow any of thedevs, i wouldn't be able to get there permissions. I would make it myself if they would allow.
You can post info like this about roms, just don't post links except ones that are to the rom thread.
Unless you want something old, all roms that are built using the latest T-Mobile build, UVDMD5, will most likely have wifi calling. Just look for that build in the op and if you don't see it, move along to the next. If you want to cross reference an older rom to see if its a T-Mobile base, just compare to the build number in my firmware thread.

So I can configure a list as long as I only list links to threads. I thought even that it was considered wrong to do without consulting the dev. Just dont want to step on toes. And if was to compile the list myself, would I put it in development section or general information section.

Yup. Perfectly fine to do that. You just dont want to post links to their actual roms w/o permission. Some devs like to keep an eye on download counts and stuff like that. This way they know where everyone gets the download link from. Honestly though, most probably wouldnt even care about that, but still its best to ask for anything else.
Id say this would go in the General Section.
If it is just going to contain info about the ROMs, you should post it in General. If you end up including anything like a FAQ or Q&A, then it could go in the Q&A section.
Never start a thread in the development sections unless you have something to release such as a rom or mod. (or at least the plan to release and are actively developing a WIP (Work In Progress)).
Never post questions or general info guides and such there. If deemed it needs to go there in the future, it can always be moved.
