[Q] Recognized devs? - About xda-developers.com

Hello! I saw that some users (developers) are "recognized developers". Can i be too? I made a custom ROM, and an utility (Androtility, look at my signature). If not, what must I do, and what are the benefits?
Thanks!

You should apply for that, contact the Developer Committee for further info

Good question, I dont really consider myself a developer, but I have been maintaining CM7-Ascend, just ported CM7 to the LG Optimus C LW690 with assistance from BobZhome using inferiorhumanoids repo as a base (repo is setup real nice for the LG Optimus line). And I have ported CWM to a few devices, Ascend 2 M865, Micromax A70, LG Optimus C LW690, and working on a few more. Currently working on porting CM7 to the Huawei Ascend II M865. Also have a couple of cooked ROM for the Ascend and Ascend II.

Funny question - how to become that developer
I finally realized - the proud name "recognized developer" is assigned to the person who managed to create bootable rom for his device and upload it to file hosting..... These two tasks - kitchen usage and internet skills - are quite enough.....
I suppose you would make a rom with someone's kitchen. Then clone it with the help of different lang packs to several languages. Then - upload all these roms (hopefully still bootable) to file hosting. Then - start several topics here with one link to uploaded rom in each thread.

Micromax a70 struck while booting

Thanks! Did it

Hey guys, I was curious about how this works. I submitted my form and is there a cycle we wait on? Do you review all that have accumulated over two weeks and then repeat the process, or something like that? I'm not in a hurry by any means but I was just wondering how the review process works. Thanks.

To sum it up quickly...
LOADS of people apply and a few people have to sort through all the applications one at a time as and when they have free time to do so.
From what I can tell theres a lot of looking at users work and post history to determine whether or not they meet the criteria and each application can be quite time consuming so therefore it can take quite a while for applications to be processed.

Dont follow the directions you find with google (using the promo code DFPRESS) just sign up for MS beta's with your live account and then put those same details into the deepfish download section. I got a code first time and second time(2 pda's). No i wont give one to you. I dont know what all the fuss is anyway. Its not that good.

Yeah, I just signed up again today and got an activation code about an hour ago. So, I'm sure they're giving them out pretty liberally. But I'm with you, I'm not a huge fan of it (so far). It is somewhat difficult and clumsy to use. But hey, it is in it's earliest beta stages, so I'm sure it'll better later on.
dont waste your time with deepfish ...
"As a technology preview, Deepfish is early in its development cycle (still a few releases from beta quality). As a result some features are not implemented or are only partially implemented. Currently, the technology preview does not support ActiveX controls, AJAX, cookies, Javascript, and HTTP POST."
Its crap if u dont have all those "standard" features that a browser should have...
No java? no activeX? no cookies? Then it obviously is worthless
i just tried it. i get more stuffs done using PIE or opera mobile!

Thank you, I have been dealing with palm and pocket pc for a long, long time. My first PDA was a Pilot 1000. I have been lurking in this forum for a long time. I have learned a lot in my years from this forum and others. I am a beta tester for a few well known software’s. So please don't let my post count make a fool out of you.

Sadly that promo hasn't worked for me on any of the 5 accounts I registered for most of which were done yesterday afternoon when that was posted.
Thanks though for the assist and I'll have to sit tight for a bit until they release further codes to test with.
(This and WM6 BE 2.0 are the only reasons I may keep my 8525 and not go to the BlackBerry world...)

A question:how can you get the great things for Hermes?

I just want to know that how can the "madmen" get the HTC drivers?apps and make them suitable for hermes to use,it seams that the HTC did'nt release them.if you get them from other roms,then how do they get?Thanks.
Being that this is your first post, I'm going to tell you before someone else who isn't so nice will. You have to read the threads, and the wiki. Also, when you do a search, use google.
The sites search feature doesn't work to well, because of all the redundant posts. Also, check out the Hermes upgrading forum, they have a lot of great information there. Good Luck.
What kind of apps are you looking for?
To search this forum, you should use the following format:
launch the google search page
type:
hermes xda (name or type of application) i.e for hermes xda pimbackup:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hermes+xda+pimbackup
this should find the post you can use to get information on a name or type of application that you might like.

Think I follow what you're asking......
The chefs have their own sources that they get copies of the ROM's from - obviously these ROMs are not generally released yet. "We" (i.e. the normal forum members) don't know - or care about - their sources, we just like the end result.
Hope this answers your question

Thanks for your answer! though we just want the final result,i want to know where do the chefs' roms come from. it is still puzzled me since jasjaming said he would release black3.5 with the latest HTC drivers.also other members here "delivered" the x-button.
^^^ Well, have you asked Jasjamming where he gets it?
I doubt he will tell you but you might as well ask the source.
hehehhheeh
Do you know this is kind of a trick question ! Ask Mr Bill from Micr.... if you can know how the code is done ...
But if you know how just start spread it !!!

Hi,
Sorry to be such a noob but what are the advantages of rooting?
And if I was thinking of doing it, why would I?
Sorry again ... I am a newbie
@Raminder1992
Plenty of advantages to root but in order to understand them and the whole process you need to search the forums with reference to other handsets to give you an idea, if we answer your questions it only leads to more new members posting basic questions in what is a development forum that currently is hanging on what happens next with the desire rooting process.
In other words click the search button and take some time to read or you'll just annoy those of us that desperate for progress on this handset.

Simple:
root=administrative rights to the system........ basically the same thing in your computer when you have administrative account...
normal mode is like a normal windows user account where you have possibility to (un)install software but you cannot change the system
So the final piece in the puzzle is about to be delivered. I'm buying it!

there are many, many reasons, but to give a few examples. firstly, those of us not in regions where google allow us to access the paid apps, we can change that by a few parameter settings, we can also change where we're from, if a developer wanted to block out our region, for whatever reason. after that, when you look even further, there are plenty of apps on the market that require root to work properly, there's one that allows you specify what apps launch on startup, there's a firewall that allows you control what connects through your data plan, there's a flashlight that keeps your camera flash on and many, many more. without root, these things don't work properly, because they don't have the right permissions.
for me, the reasons above are good, but not the main reason. for me, where I work, we use a LEAP wireless security system that (I think) all Android devices can connect to, without a problem. unfortunately though, the Android developers haven't added that option to the wireless config GUI. this isn't a problem if I get root, because then I can just edit the config file and change one line. without root, though, I don't have wireless connection during a good part of every day, which sucks.

Reported. No need to be rude.
Your ROM is simply another ROM with added/removed APKs.
You don't need to spam this forum with a dozen of "ROM" threads, it's annoying.
Learn a bit more about Android and then try modifying sources etc.
Or if you desire, port a ROM from another device.
But don't just republish ROMs with just APKs removed or added.. That's just not useful as everybody can just download those APKs from the Market.

Supper rom? (Evening meal Rom) Nice!
really fast

new functions (Quotations, mentions etc.)

I have 2 Questions about Quoteaions/Mentions and those new functions.
1st can you make it work that the notification disappears itself when you have read the concerning thread?
2nd is there a way to turn off mentions coming from oneself?
I often write things like @New Users, and I often use the @ sign as a shortenning for at + the following space, which often results in unwanted mentions, is there a way around that?

To prevent unwanted mentions from your side, grow habit of putting up a space in @ & the user. ie. @ New User / @ op etc.
