The Dev section is NOT for asking questions.....
The Dev section is NOT for general topics..........
All threads posted MUST be prefixed with a description of the thread, [ROM] / [Kernel] etc etc.....*
*(Not planning on being particuarly strict on this. You guys (the devs), know how to title a thread.... just a pointer for new devs.)
Basically, unless your thread is to actually release something or discuss something of a very technical and n00b unfriendly nature, it doesnt belong here!
Pretty simple really.....
If you see something that shouldnt be here then PM me....
I will try to check in as reguarly as I can but I have a few sections to keep an eye on and believe it or not, a life outside XDA
Yes thats right, there is life outside XDA
Cheers

Hey. This is an open ended question to prompt discussion here. Not to flame / attack anyone.
Firstly thankyou for the q+a section - invaluable resourse.
My question is this. On several occasions I have seen threads deleted / moved / closed with the explanation of "wrong sub forum". That's it. I realise that modding is difficult. But surely to learn we need to know what's wrong with where we post not just that it is wrong.
One recent example is a thread asking about developing a piece of software to simplify sdcard splitting.
I would have thought development was the right place but the thread was closed and told that it was the wrong place. So, what defines development from q+a? If I have a question about development then should I post in both forums as it is development and a question?
Development is just that - DEVELOPMENT. Questions should NOT be asked there. Questions are to be asked here. No matter what kind of questions they are.
ok, that sounds sensible

Lol yesterday the entire front page of the development section was locked because ignorant people were posting questions when there is CLEARLY a Q&A section. Some of us camp out here to help people...Who ever said you're never going to get help in this section.
I would like to say thanks to all those involved who got us our own development forum. This will most definitely help lessen the amount of people who will brick their devices by flashing stuff from the P7XXX series 8.9 tabs and vice versa.
My question now is: Is the new i957 forum only for development, or for all things concerning the i-957 specifically?
Thanks again!
Sticky in new forum

Hi to all
This is just to remind you this is for development only.
Please do not start Question or request threads. These threads go in the general section. I will usually close these threads if posted here.
Do not ask for ETAs on Roms, it just clutters up the thread and annoys the developer.
Anything i condone as spam will be instantly deleted.
Please do not post thank you. That is what the thanks button is for.
If anybody feels a post should be a sticky, please PM me with the reasoning.
Please report any posts that are out of place, or contain questionable content. They will be dealt with quickly!
So basically please only post ROM Development, Hacks, Mods, Fixes and Tutorials in this section.
Thank you for your attention, if you have any further questions. Please feel free to PM me

In this thread we will provide a short Q&A for your stay on this forum. Please read thoroughly and act accordingly.
While most that is needed to know is pointed out in the forum rules, history shows that some points of these rules are not clearly understood by some users and others leave room for interpretation. With these Q&A we give you some additional guidelines how the forum for this device is moderated.
Who are the moderators for this forum?
The team leaders for HTC International team are Judge Joseph Dredd and O_G
Moderators are:Andy, ceesheim, coal686, KidCarter93, LenAsh, pandaball, Stephen, wildstang83
How do I contact the moderating crew?
While you are free to contact all of us via PM, for moderating purposes it is much more advisable to use report system. If you do that, your request reaches ALL moderators thus multiplying the chance for fast reaction to your request. If you PM a moderator, he does not know whether you have contacted others also and therefore it is possible that your request is handled by different moderators, overruling the others. In report system the ticket system avoids that. Therefore please always use report system.
Where do I post my thread/issue/question?
This is a very important decision and decides not only whether you achieve the goal you intend with your thread/post, but also whether it might be regarded off-topic/not allowed and therefore be removed. So here is a list to help you decide where to put your thread (or maybe to not post it at all).General section
What goes here
Guides, Collections, Tutorials (can also be posted in Q&A)
General information about the device
Tips and Tricks
Every general discussion about technical aspects of device
What does not go here (by far an uncomplete list, just some examples for topics that are not tolerated)
Everything prohibited by above linked forum rules.
"Whis is the best rom for this device", "Is this rom better than that" (always subjective, prone to fanboy wars)
[*]Device comparison threads "Which is better: iphone or this phone" (see above) In regards to best ROM threads and device comparison threads, we will be allowing these kinds of discussions from now on. As always, the forum rules apply so that means no trolling/arguing etc. will be accepted.
"What was your last phone/will be your next phone" (Off-Topic to this phone, post that in OT-Forum)
"Hello"/"Goodbye"/"Merry Christmas,Easter,Hannukkah, whatever" (Obviously OT, just imagine every user posts that)
"I'll never buy HTC again", "Why HTC/Samsung/whoever sucks" and all other "hate"-threads (Tell that those guys, not us)
"Help!", "How do I...", "Why..." and all other Questions (belong in Q&A)

What do I do when I do not understand a moderators decision?
Please feel free to contact the moderator via PM to get his decision explained. If that does not satisfy you, contact the team-leader.
DO NOT, however, discuss any moderating issues in forum. This will always be regarded off-topic (which it actually is).
Now let's all have fun on this forum and help together to make xda a place where users can gather useful information instead of sipping through knee deep piles of unorganized rubbish
