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.

Mod stickied it in Q&A section, but it leads you to the main thread once hited in general section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2117822 where i can edit it ( like efrant thread in Q&A)
But i dont know why if you are using xda app it will not lead you to general section.

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.

Can we please get a Q&A sub forum? So many questions are asked here every day and have to be moved by a mod. Anyone else think this is a good idea?

I agree. Coming from the fascinate section, the Q&A section really helped to simplify and clean the boards, especially in maintaining the integrity of the Dev section.

always found it extremely useful in the 4g forums when i had that phone. it always was my first place to look for guidance to the right thread before asking any questions or trying to search through pages of threads.
I would be more than willing to do this myself
Its already a sticky in the general section

That's sounds good, but this is the dev thread. Only threads pertaining to ROMS &kernels belong here. The only thing you are going to get by posting here is a private message from a mod or flamed. This served better to be in general or Q&A.

I'm sure if you or someone else were to post a concise "bible" it would almost be an automatic sticky, IMO of course.

There is a 'ROM Bible', it's called the Development forum. Read it, study it, don't post in it unless you are contributing to Development.
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.

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?

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.

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.

DT and the XDA mods had a disagreement over something a few days back that resulted in the thread getting closed. Not sure what the specifics are. Just for future reference, this should have been posted over in Q&A. The development section is just for ROMs and kernels.
