Developer/Wannabe-Developer Q & A section/Google plus group - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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..

[Bug] Need help: Custom button [:.2] is not getting saved

Hey Guys,
Because the people that have experience with what im looking for, are here. Im posting this here. Excuse me if this is not the appropriate place.
It's probably a small thing. But I've googled and googled.. but nobody seems to have posted this.
One of the customizable buttons in Virtuous Unity 2.37 is not working.
[:.1] works just fine, [:.2] forgets its function after some tasks, but its sertain the setting is gone after a reboot. It does ask for a program to bind to the key.. but the setting does not 'stick'. Anyhow, this shows the Keymap is working. I dont know how HTC saves it after that.. or where!
I am looking for a solution, does anyone know how to make it so that this buttons is usable again? I recon its like addon 1 line to a file.. since [:.1] works fine:/
ty for your time.

Virtuous also have a bug tracker, don't have the address with me at the moment though.
Should probably check that, no doubt it will have been posted a couple of times.
You could even go visit their irc channel, #virtuousrom on freenode.

Seriously? We are not just moving threads. It is this attitude that has moved us to resort to issuing infractions for wrongly posting in Development forums....which is what you just earned yourself.

request to mods!

Hello, mods for the HTC One X...
Whilst browsing modaco forums i came across the following posts:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/353733-30-04-rom-tripndroid-operating-system-12028404bu/
http://android.modaco.com/topic/353725-29-04-rom-aokp-endeavor-unleashed-users-choice/
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!

We have sections for a reason; it keeps things clean and organized. General topics belong in general, questions (like this) belong in Q&A, etc. I have politely reminded you at least 3 times to refrain from posting in the wrong section. Additionally, XDA is not a support site, and requires a fair amount of research and effort, if you're going to start flashing, rooting, modding. Most of your posts are question/help based in nature. If you're asking that many questions in a relatively short period of time, its because you're not doing the research.
With that said, I highly recommend that you start following the rules pertaining to posting threads. Post in the appropriate sections, make sure you read, read, then read some more, before posting your help threads.
Failure to comply with the rules will lead to infractions, and/or a ban, depending on severity.

Mods are closing these threads down in short order.
Seems we're not allowed to ask. So it's heavy duty legal related would be my guess. But only speculation.

HTC is turning against it self
On Friday Football closed his twitter account, all Rom and ruu threads. The reason is unknown, maybe HTC threatened him.
Its one in the batteries for the whole community this though.
The vast majority of leaks for xda came from him. Its a really big deal definitely.

Xperia Overlay Ah been closed! needs our help!!

Today 25/04/14! Developer: (Achotjan)
Of Recognized Roms (SDE) and the current firmware (Xperia Overlay) To The Xperia Line 2011 (Included Xperia Play Cooming Soon Mod Edit link removed ah this statement on their website:
so they had read in the image ..
the nesecita our help by sending PM to manager (eagleeyetom) to withdraw its decision and that it was unfair ..
I hope all Xplayers community support it ..!
I don't understand why XDA moderators closed their thread but I think that it must have been for a good reason...
Anyway why is this topic on the development forum ? I think general discussion is the right forum for this.

What happens is that on your page .. the developer says that those who donate, will be able to have the firmware before, but also later, release them FREE to the entire community. I mean that's just to support and encourage hard work.
oh and it's true ... You're right I did hurry and did not realize .. Moderators please move this thread to the General section please ..

The application for RD covers more than "Did you release anything?" It also asks how you will help the community in general. Only XDA can sell the work developers contribute here. It's a lot like a university saying they own the rights to your projects. I don't think either side is right, but you know what you're signing up for.

But surely there've been Portal Posts promoting paid apps made by members of this place, that XDA does not profit from? Besides, XDA can't possibly sell an Android ROM, right? I'd like to get the full story on this; I don't like the sound of it at all. What the heck happened that could possibly justify their abuse if it isn't your reason?
well he is going to release a free version after one month
developer of dixperia roms did something like this too but why no one told anything to him?
XDA doesn't seem to be on the right side of things on this.. atleast they don't sound like they have a logical reason to be right.
Overlay team was doing right,.. that's my opinion.

They do have an area for announcing paid software, but that's the only place it's permitted.
XDA doesn't sell ROMs directly, just advertising and stuff like that.
There could be 1000 reasons, but they're really between the dev and XDA. Only one side of the story is given by a blog post and most people aren't going to admit they were wrong and then ask for donations.

Well known Recognised Developer team that works on 4.4 for Xperia 2011 devices(including xplay), has built their own 4.4.2 firmware. They offer an early access version to people who donate $5 on their website. After 1 month, it all becomes free to the public. Apparently XDA didn't like that, and revoked their recognised developer status and deleted the thread. The development team is asking us to PM the forum administrators and show our disagreement on the matter.
Also, achtojan hasn't posted anything in the past 3 days on xda since this happened, can't blame him.

XDA FORUM RULES - #11
So basically they should have just made the mandatory donate version on their personal website, then when it goes free they could have posted it on xda and still accept donations. The rules aren't very well laid out concerning this. It certainly doesn't justify revoking their RD status.

They didn't technically break rule number 8. The development team isn't saying "donate now and in a month you will receive it". They're saying donate now and receive it immediately, or wait and get it for free. Or is that still not allowed? I've seen many paid services on XDA, I guess the teams main mistake was posting it on XDA instead of just their website.

The problem is, that all of they're firmware can only be obtained for a fee. That is against the rules. If they posted a link to a donate and free version then it would be fine, but everything they linked to is for money. Not OK.
That makes sense. If that's really the case, I'm on XDA's side.
