I ask because I rarely go to the General Discussion area and only recently found AOKP there - I don't frequent General too much. It's a great ROM and I wish I had found it sooner (in the Development section).
I believe the Dev accidentally posted it there and decided to keep it there.

Read the rules of the Dev section. The rom is not built from Source it's a port there for it does not belong in the Dev section right now.
Also I would advise taking more trips over to the General and Q&A section since there is where you would learn of a lot of how to and how not too brick ones phones as in the case of the Epic over the past month. As well as some interesting facts that do pop up over here and its better to be informed than mis-informed I always say
Honestly, I spend more time on general than I do in dev. Way more interesting topics

Android development a flashaholixs buddy

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.

Can you make a zip to make the home screen and app drawer to do the 360?

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

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

Seems like the general section is filled with too many questions which should be in the Q & A and topics about accessories which also has its own section. Most the other sections on XDA I have been a part of had been stricter on this and moved a lot of threads to the appropriate sections which helped clean up the clutter.
The forum clean up helps users who want to avoid these topics and also users who want to do a search within the appropriate area. Its better for everyone.

If you want to avoid certain discussions...then don't click on them just to complain as you have. While you may feel this forum is cluttered some as opposed to the developer forums...others like myself don't. This isn't a place where people have to be a hard ass...it's the general section...not the developers section...and calling out the mods to move or merge topics just because you don't happen to like them is what gives this forum a bad reputation...

Hows it give the forum a bad reputation? Things like this drive others away and make it harder to navigate and do searches. I dont click on stuff I dont want to read. Every other XDA forum I have been a part of has been really good on putting things in the right sections or mods helped clean them up by moving them to the appropiate section. Why should this phones forum be so different? If your arguement was valid there wouldnt be sub sections for these topics.
Use the report option. If a thread is in the wrong section or a duplicate thread report that a mod close it or move it.

I appreciate your optimism and generally good attitude. However, juniors who don't read the rules and have a general disregard for the organization and structure of this community are a detriment. They create extra work for moderators who volunteer their time and make finding information substantially more difficult for users of the site.
If memory serves me well, one of the rules is not to ask for development or etas, though it's been a while since I've peeked at them. Another is certainly posting in the correct forum - which this is not.
I'm going to be blunt, I don't think junior members should be allowed to post in the development sections. Moderators should have the ability to upgrade to a regular member at any time if they see a junior acting accordingly. Likewise, if you post in wrong sections and then abandon the section without reporting your post to a moderator to be closed along with an apology, you should be demoted to a junior for some time. This would prevent a cluttered mess to have to sift through.
It's bad enough we have a severe lack of development due to exclusivity and bootloader issues without the added stress of clutter. I'm not hating on the Op but it sure is disrespectful and I'm sure most will agree with me that it isn't appreciated or beneficial by anyone.

2nd.... noobs, juniors, seniors or moderators we are all on a learning curve and should respect all with patience. Everyone has asked a dumb question, a question that might have already been answered etc. I have and I can only assume all the moderators and or senior members have done the same. gentle reminder rather than coming down on members should be at hand. chill...... this should be an enjoyable situation for all....

this forum is a disaster and not because of misplaced posts, in fact, just the opposite. we have 12 ****ing mods for this forum, 12.
that's prolly more than peeps posting in here. and they are the ones that **** up the forum moving threads around almost willy nilly.
i ask what peeps are using their qbutton for in the gen forum, that thread got moved to help. umm wtf.
get rid of 11 of the 12 mods and teach the one remaining about which threads go where.

Also, many topics are directed to the big "discuss" thread. (the one that was started before this forum even existed, with a ton of useless junk) Why make people go through that? It's convenient to only read threads of interest...

No, they are directed to be posted in general or Q&A. That's not difficult at all. This post has no place in the development section, period. It's not hard to read the rules and post in proper sections.
This isn't a debate, this is in the wrong section. Development goes in development. Questions in Q&A. Accessories in accessories. Everything else falls in general.

Didn't see those until you mentioned it. That seems ridiculous to me too. In fact I've never seen something like that done in other phone forums. I can imagine it being done for duplicate threads but forcing us to use s single thread seems ridiculous.

First OP Thread Closed & Moved out of the Development Section I will ask you to read the Forum Rules on Posting.
The Moderation Team is made of volunteers and they are Members just like you, if you see threads and or posts out of place...report them, vice posting in this manner.
The Moderation Team can not be in all threads,...again if you find threads that need addressing report it, we rely on Members to point out issues/violations.
Thank You.
