[Q]PSFreedom

i wonder if someone has thinked of porting PSFreedom to our device?
is it possible?
this is not a Q&A thread this is development thread ask ur question in the genral section or relevant thread CLOSED
why not just flash one of the CFW and call it a day?

[Q] Why no off-topic?

Loved the idea srsly, why can't it go on ?
Becuase we have rules. And these rules do not allow OT. At least not in the Sony, LG and Motorola forums.
Also, Questions belong into the Q&A section. Please don't post questions in the general section. Thanks ----> Thread moved

[Q] ROM JB with SENSE 5?

Hello guys
I would like to know if someone is working on a new ROM Jelly Bean that includes the HTC sense.
I know that this is an outdated phone but I hate to change it too much and have a new ROM so it would be great!
I like too much sense and I can not give it up.
thank you!!
Thread moved to Q&A section!
Just because you ask a question about a ROM, it doesn't mean that it belongs in the development forum.
Please remember this in future and adhere to the Forum Rules.

Is their a way to filter / Block the QA Bot Posts

Who come up with this QA Bot post ?
it's useless Clutter to the Q&A Section ... The Developers almost never come here so why the QA bot post ?
This area is managed by fellow users and a few friendly developers, you know who you are .
So who come up with the QA Bot idea ? Developers or the Moderators ? Just curious
Agreed!! It's getting kinda annoying now [emoji35]

What I don't understand is why Q&A are still allowed in the main discussion section of DevDB threads even if a Q&A "bot" thread exist. Look at ARHD DevDB main discussion for example, there are still tons of questions asked and answered there every day even if there is a Q&A bot thread here in the "One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" section... I can't disagree when you're saying its's useless clutter.
I understand that the purpose of this change is to make the questions more visible so pple can answer them even if they are not following a DevDB project. This is also to help devs keeping their thread clean by moving the "q&a" part from the main discussion to another location, but this is not working...
So my question is: Are Q&A still allowed in DevDB discussion? If yes why? If no, why members are not redirected to these new Q&A threads?
Thanks for any answer (moderators) :good:

Well having read that thread I see and understand what there hoping to achieve. And for newer development threads I can see the benefits.
But It does seem a bit messy at the moment for threads that have already been running for some time. Taking ARHD again as an example. The main Rom thread is already vast, with an answer for almost every possible question posted multiple time's. How many times can you post "you can't install this Rom with CWM"
But still just a few posts away find "now my phone won't boot, I used latest cwm which works fine with suchandsuch Rom"
Now it has a new Q&A thread where the same questions will continue to be asked by newcomers to the Rom and then answered probably by the same bunch of helpful users. You know who you are . So you make a good point here @alray. Will development threads now be monitored and have all non development related questions moved to the appropriate Q&A?
Putting a link in the main dev thread simply won't work. Let's face it most users don't even read the first page of a Rom development thread before flashing a rom. That's why we see so many repeated questions.
As I say I can see what there trying to do. And if it works I can definitely see the benefits. But to make it work will take a lot of time and effort maybe. (not that I know much about the moderation of forums or forum admin tools, maybe it can be automatically policed some how ) :dunno:

Principle is good but not correctly integrated to the forum imo. They should add some sort of control when posting in a DevDB project, for example, when you click on "post reply" button, this could open a box where you select: "I'm about the post a question/answer" , "I want to post a review" , "I want to post a bug report" , "I want to request a feature" or "I want post something about development of this project" then redirect members to the correct DevDB tab or simply automatically move the post to the correct devDB tab (discussion/features request/Q&A/Bug report/review).
And the dev discussion section could be reserved for RC/RD/RT etc etc as OP's request

I like the multiple choice thing, would definitely be a better approach imo :good: Another thing that sprang to mind after I finished my last post, Unless it is correctly handled, how long do you think it will take for people to start putting the same post in both the Q&A and the main thread hoping to get answered quicker. Not very I don't think.
