New users are not allowed to help... :( ???

I have just registered because I wanted to help somebody with one question in a development forum. After registering, I realized that I'm not allowed to post in the development forums until I post 10 times in the general forum because this forum is only for expert users. I cannot catch the connection between new user and development expertise...
Well, no matter. If the help and collaboration is not wanted, I'll let the user's question unanswered.
I will just continue only reading and not participating...
Bye...

PS: Please Do read link to New user? in my signature to know more.. and this thread is getting closed too.. as you should read first then post/ open thread..
^

That question should have never been in the development forum in the first place, it should have been in Q&A if available or general if not. You could also PM the user, rather than spamming maybe?

This ^^^^. The question shouldn't be asked in a development forum, that is what q&a is for... development is for development, not questions... not even a question about the rom/kernel should be in development... only development related things... as one of my fav devs say, logcat or gtfo of development forums...

[Mod] 360 Rotation

One thing I have never understood about Android is it never comes with full 360 rotation.
So here is a flashable zip that does just that...If you turn your phone upside down the screen will rotate with you. That is, in apps that rotate.
So this is made to work on CleanROM 2.1 (and that is all I have tested it on) but I don't see why it won't work on other ROM's as all the framework-res are based off the same at this point. BUT any mods made to the framework-res.apk in the ROM you're running will be lost. So ask your dev if they made any changes to the framework-res.apk, or just make a backup and flash away...
If your running a themed ROM like Jelly Bomb then you will most likely lose some of the theming because a lot is changed in the framework-res.apk for themes.
And you should know the drill by now...flash at your own risk...have a backup...
Oh and if you like it hit the thanks button.
Mod Edit: removed link that requires password.

That would have to be done through the launcher. I'm running out for a few but when I get home I will pull TouchWiz home apart and see what I can do.
That would be sweet. I know I find myself needing it more all the time.

Moving to Themes and Apps as this is modification to a stock App/launcher and doesn't belong in the Android Dev section.

Really??? This is a modification to the framework and has zero to do with the launcher app.
Edit: So basically everything in the Dev section should be moved because they are all modifications to the stock software?
Thanks and touché on the post above

Just because he is a Sen Moderator does not mean he cannot make a mistake. Based on the XDA rules a mistake was made I'm simply asking for it to be corrected.

In the mean time this app does what you're looking for. I'm all for making things work without adding an extra app so I'm going to get it working without the need of an extra app but until then...

Sorry - you are wrong. You are trying to skirt the rules here, but that rule you quoted (Rule #15) that says "mods" go in Development, is meant for real modifications made to ROMs, kernels, etc. - not tweaks to apps. This is a tweak to an app, the stock launcher to be precise, and as such belongs in Themes and Apps and STAYS here.
You are correct thought even Senior Moderators can make mistakes - and I am not above admitting when wrong. But - that didn't happen in this case and any attempt to try and skirt the rules more will be met with real consequences.
EDIT: Also closing this thread since you seem to have duplicate threads now in Themes and Apps about the same thing.
My mistake.... this thread should be open too

Liquid for sprint s3?

I have a copy of a beta liquid smooth.
I was wondering if there was anymore work on the rom itself.
Its amazing as it is. Way faster then cm10.1.
Its running 4.2.2 btw.
This doesn't belong in the development section.
Also one of the most pointless threads I've ever seen

First off NEVER make a question thread in Development
All questions go in Q&A
Please see Forum rule 15 if you are in doubt where to post
Secondly a ported ROM is a ROM that has been made to work on a different device or carrier than originally created for.

Why was this thread stickied and closed? Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118092
If it was because there are already many threads and websites that talk about that which was mentioned and stickied, why not just delete it? Otherwise, its a nice thread - much better than some that still lay around open for months, waiting to be necrobumped - and it could have been a nice resource.

Thanks. Actually I was using Tapatalk, but it also doesn't redirect me when using Xda paid app.
Reported to mod team for closing.
Yeah as you found out, for some reason the mobile apps ignore redirects.
