Develop Bugs

[Q] [REQ] Looking but not commenting on the Dev Only Sections?

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

Im the new guy.

Good morning all.
I'm brand new to Android and similarly new to xda. I'm here to learn as much as I can, so I will ask questions if don't find my answer via search (I like the video intro). I may be new to xda, but not new to internet forums. Im posting in this section because I have this phone.
If I can help I will. I have a background in telecommunications, network security and some programming.

Thanks for the introduction "New Guy". Glad to see you on board. I'm the "Old Guy". Unfortunately I have no programming experience or dev experience, but I have extensive knowledge of Android and I try to answer everyone's question especially if I know the answer. Any questions? Lol

Welcome aboard! If you have any questions like you said that you can't find in the forum feel free to ask in the appropriate section. If you have coding experience as far as development you should definitely jump in on the DEV section to get this thing rooted. Either way hope you enjoy your stay at the wonderful XDA!
(aww yeauh, that rhymed )

Welcome! I am new to XDA and relatively new to Android. I share the same background as you, I think we're in the right place!

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!

Oh i remember that guy from when i had my xperia x10.
He was not wanted on XDA back then either. I actually thinks that he left/got kicked out of XDA at that time

Sorry but the dev mentioned is no longer a member of XDA.
Also, all such issues can be handled by pm as they are offtopic to this forum.

Jellybean beta 3 questions.

Albinoman thank you for the greatest ROM ever. I want to know where is the launcher settings to edit add screens.

Use a custom launcher. Also, this isn't the place to post this fyi.

I'm new to xda-dev, myself. I also had some questions/comments re: Albinoman's JBbeta3 ROM, and thought this _was_ the right place to discuss such. Since I know the dev forum is the wrong place (even though it happens there), and now I'm told this is the wrong place...could someone please point me to where the right place is?
Thanks,

For questions, I'd say Q&A

Okay, thanks. (A quick glance through the thread titles on this "General" forum reveals plenty of questions, too, so maybe I'm not the only one who's unsure...)

The proper place to ask questions, would be in Albinomans thread. If you didnt want to post there, Q/A would be acceptable. However general is a better place to start a new thread than developement section

Known issue for all JB ROMs on the Inc, but not listed in the OP. Try to cross reference CM10's OP in the mean time.

Install GPE over LG software

Is it possible if I bought the stock LG V500, to root and install GPE V510?
Sorry if this question has been asked... I searched and looked back and didnt find a clear answer.

Search harder.

Come on guys..if you dont want to add anything just dont comment and ignore it..
am a developer as well and still sometimes after extensive searches things are no clear..
no need of being a smart ****

From what I read till now on this forum, there are big diferences on how v500 is partitioned and how is v510 partitioned. So the answer is no you not could install GPE rom on v500. Until now...only option fot kitkat is custom roms

We may get it eventually but as for now conversion does not occur.

Nice spamming 2 posts to tell the OP not to spam. Wouldn't answering the question be easier and less spamming?

Look up the definition of spam.
The op is the one not using proper etiquette and breaking forum rules.

Being polite and considerate doesn't cost you anything. Having new people turned away by comments such as yours does not promote the good will of xda, and gives a sense that it is forbidden to ask any questions at all.
Simply stating an answer to the question with a sidenote that there is another place to ask such questions would be prefered.
And, It IS ambiguous as to whether or not it is possible to convert the system.
While there are numerous threads here talking about it and stating such, you would not want to simply download some rom based on the wishes of others to make it happen before it's time. For somebody new, the threads that have such discussion may very well look like they have it converted and ready to go, where others state the opposite.

Isn't this section called "q and a HELP and troubleshooting"? I am posting my legitimate question in the proper section because of how vague the other posts have been. Those who aren't willing to help, why post? Is it really ruining your day to glance over a question? Instead you waste your precious time trying to beat your chest on the internet. Thanks have been given to those who were helpful. I appreciate you clearing up the issue.

I have a LG V500 as well(coming from Nexus 10) and after looking at all(well most) of the threads, it is not clear which for me
means the answer is NO(or we would have had a definitive guide to do that ).
For now, I am looking for the most stable custom rom with least issues. CM or Mahdi atm

Mahdi works great and has a lot of options.

If you have AOSP you have CyanogenMod, CarbonROM, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, SlimROM.. all of which have every feature of AOSP + the same looks as AOSP + extras.
GPE is cool if you're not a rooting custom ROM kind of person in which case you should have just purchased a GPE G-Pad to have stock AOSP

It's not even worth it anymore, dude. Members of XDA have huge ego and pride issues and it doesn't seem like it's going away any time soon.
I agree, there is no reason for the hostility. Politely answer the question and let him/her know to search next time. One more thread asking the same question isn't going to break the internet but people don't understand that.. they'd rather be know-it-all assholes.

Honestly, you are better off getting v500 And installing custom kit Kat. This way you can switch back to lg if you prefer it.

Best advise, gives you more options. As it is the v500 gets more support. I wish the device was more popular but I'm still grateful for what we have.
