So i got a Nexus 7 so i'm kinda leaving these forums (Like you care ) Now, for "the words on my mind", the Android Development section in here is really messy, full of "WinZip" roms and a little tweaking, and don't get that angry about this post, if you would think about this, you would agree with me I know they are starting, and they are beginners but c'mon look at TheWhisp He started to learn by not posting any "WinZip" roms and just researched a lot and where did it get him? Being an awesome dev that's where it got him. Think about things that i said in here. And i hope you all farewell
Sincerely,

that's absolutely right! everyone can do it, but there's no reason to post those frankensteins here... i was doing the same, put some tweaks and apps to cm7, change few graphics in framework and systemui to my likings, center the clock, but i never posted anything like that because it's pointless...

Yup, that's true. About 90% of stuff in dev thread is nothing but just themed crap which everyone can do yourself. Even I did some experiments and learning stuff but that's no reason for me to post some crap and say " This is my first ROM. I am learning right now. I added this ............ crap. Hope you like it. ...........................PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON."
Seriously I don't know what they get from this. I remember some guy recently posted Lunar UI ROM. (Totally useless. Just you need to add a theme and icon pack and you are done). No offence but that is really not worth saying custom ROM.
DQiB man. Irritating kid. First he spams the dev section with 6-7 cooked roms and now he posts a tutorial for others to spam the dev section :| even though he got banned, he should get an IP ban.

Maybe, this is the reason we got an "Original Android Development section". No cooked ROMS or ports are allowed there. Its all about "Build from source"
Yep, that's why XDA made the Original Development forums, but that wouldn't have been necessary if there were A LOT less of those "WinZip" roms, or even if there were none.

The development of Mini is rapidly dying now. The only good dev left doing real development is TheWhisp. Pretty soon the dev section will be dead.

There are pro's and con's of this guide, good thing is it will help some new users to understand how android works and give them some starting point, the bad thing happened some time ago and it's those winzip roms with no significant changes

Well the 10 post rule is just like an adaptation period, so that the new members understand what's going on here and how things work, without giving headaches to developers. I'd advise you and your friend to go to any general subforum section and simply help people having trouble, instead of opening threads begging for posts and thanks. 10 posts isn't much.. I make around 50-70 a day without getting into the developer sections. Now if you follow what most n00bs do and start rant threads or posts like "this is my 8th post. Please ignore I'm trying to raise my post count to post into development", your posts will be deleted, your post count will fall again and any thanks you got for those posts will be lost. That's the way it works. Read the rules

It IS an app, therefore should technically be in the themes and apps section. However, I also respect that nobody looks in that section, but I still feel it should be in the Q&A at the very least. Maybe a link to this could be added to one of the stickies to make it easier to find?
well i just installed it and theres no difference then the one i posted

*sigh* He is actually doing the work, hacking and developing software for all Android phones. What you have done is simply providing a link to a useful app. You are in no way developing. His fits the Android software and hacking forums as he is hacking the software, you are just linking us to a useful app. I don't know how much clearer it can be that you aren't developing. In any case, a mod clearly agreed with those of us who said it was in the wrong forum and moved it, so stop whining.

This reply is rude and why? this one too...is not acceptable to behave like this even if you think something is posted in the wrong section...you can report to mods asking to move the whole 3d, but you can't be rude...that's all i'm complaining. Look at the result...2 completely off topic pages...

There's a reason it's called the development forum. I also find it rather ironic that the thing in your sig has 'post in the correct sections' in it Perhaps those responses were a tad rude, but it's more to do with the fact that you didn't listen the first time than you posting in the wrong section. I think if you had accepted it nobody would have said anything like that.

I couldn't agree with you more Oly. I have posted my feelings in both the DS OT threads and hope that they are read by our moderators, even if nothing changes.
This is the worst thing I have known XDA to do yet. The moderators constantly refuse to do anything about the newbies who refuse point-blank to bother searching and then get all upset and aggravated when you tell them to do so, yet they decide to close threads which serve a very useful and valuable purpose on XDA. Putting device-specific threads in the general OT forum just means more chaos - if every device has an OT thread here and they are used regularly then the other OT threads will get hidden 8 pages down the list.
I cannot see a single valid justification for this decision and have just about lost all the respect I once had for the forum moderators.
Your logic is spot on. I'm very disappointed in XDA's decision. There really was no need.
I completely see where you are coming from, the OT forum will now have so many device sub threads everywhere, so other OT threads will be buried... Regular OT members will also be affected by this, with all those extra threads.
Can't express my disappointment enough...
I'm sure a few DS people won't come along, the ones who've already left (enigmaamit etc)

I couldn't agree with you more Oly. I have posted my feelings in both the DS OT threads and hope that they are read by our moderators, even if nothing changes.
This is the worst thing I have known XDA to do yet. The moderators constantly refuse to do anything about the newbies who refuse point-blank to bother searching and then get all upset and aggravated when you tell them to do so, yet they decide to close threads which serve a very useful and valuable purpose on XDA. Putting device-specific threads in the general OT forum just means more chaos - if every device has an OT thread here and they are used regularly then the other OT threads will get hidden 8 pages down the list.

Verizon has a promo deal today and I currently have a note 4. Can't root it and missing customizing
What am I losing by switching from note 4? 3 less megapixels..I guess I'm in the impulse mood lol.
Any issues with it currently?
im thinking about a pot of gold.. but i guess that doesnt matter at all. oh, btw, questions go into the q&a/help section, not into general. ill ask a mod to move the thread there
I used to have a note 4, and also really missed customizing my phone. I then sold it and bought my nexus 6 which rocks. I think all those gimmicky features on the note 4 are not really worth it.

If you want customization options, then you want a Nexus. Though xposed is limited currently, the custom ROM development is outstanding. This is one of the easiest devices to root/ROM and as long as you read and follow the guides, it is very hard to brick. Read the sticky roll up thread in the general forum and look for the beginner's guide. A great place to start.

haha well i changed my mind after just purchasing a Gear S yesterday and realizing what im losing going to a Nexus
Well if you like stock android the nexus 6 is a good switch. I came from a nexus 6 to a g flex2 to a note 4 and i like having a skin on top of android. I didn't really like the bone stock android but everyone is different. The camera is great with hdr + on but all the videos seem very fuzzy when compared to the other devices i owned.

Hey everybody, can anyone tell me what the heck is wrong with the xda forums lately? There are multiple things going wrong and some functions of the site dont work at all?
For example:
- Clicking on notifications in the top right corner doesnt open the received notifications, instead it opens this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/usercp.php
- Cant expand the names in a post to see who gave thanks, again opens a different page
- Options like attachments, smileys and all other options when writing a comment dont work (their not clickable)
Maybe there are more, but these are the ones i came across till now. Anyone having same behavior? or maybe it's just my laptop thats tripping... In any case its very much frustrating!

In my case, no such problems until today but I will check again on my laptop this evening.
What do you mean by lately exactly? In my case 1 or 2 hours ago, it was fine.

Everything Is Working Fine, Double Click On The Notifications Menu Will Show usercp.php Instead Of That Menu, The Fix Is To Click Just One Time, I Don't Know About The Others...
But You Can Try Between These Different Solutions :
Uninstall And Re-Install Your Current Browser.
Or Use The Old XDA Layout.
Or If It Always Failing, Try Using Google DNS.

About a months ago, I reported xda forum issues but never received a reply. If interested check here and here.
Normally, I don't use my GT-I9305 for visiting xda. However, due to your post I checked the xda functionalities by using the Gello browser that came with my ROM.
Everything is working as expected and normally except that the [view] button is missing to expand the thanks row to see who gave thanks.
For the still existing issues with xda on my laptop, please refer to the first link above.
