Android ROM development rules - Omnia II Android Development

The Android ROM development subforum is a fact. Congrats on getting Android running on the Omnia 2.
Now, just a few rules to keep it clean and focused on Android.
Always make sure you credit the source from where you get your builds/kernels/tools. The original developer did alot of work and should be known for it.
Don't post any warez. If you're unsure, don't post, but ask first. But I think that's stating the obvious.
Use [TAGS] in your threads. [Kernel] for kernels, [ROM] for ROM images, [APP] for applications, etc.
Keep your thread up-to-date. Which means, your first post or info.
Thanks for reading this. I hope we get some great Android development going here.

Dedicated ROM forums in each platform.

Hi just wondering if possible that admin could create a dedicated ROM forum under each platform forum so that all the ROM's could be posted in them rather them been posted in with all the general posts.
just think it would make things allot more organised for people who just want to look at a list of all the available roms for that particular handset.
I know there are wiki links etc and also posts that try to list them but it would just make things allot simpler if each platform had a rom section rather them then getting posted in the upgrading forum, then the upgrading forums could be solely used for posting guides and help along with questions etc.
I feel this is highly necessary.
rom builders need to have their own place to post their custom roms.
in the samsung captivate forums all the "development" forum is clogged with
postings of custom roms.
customs roms are not actually discussions about development.
please clean this up!!!
its destroying xda.
many developers are taking their development discussions elsewhere.

[REQ] Please put ROM posts in the Android Development sub-forum

Can we please keep this forum tidy? There are lots of people who like to have stock ROM phones. So many posts regarding non-standard ROM issues get posted in the General sub-forum it becomes tiresome.
So:
If it's a non-stock ROM issue, put your query in the Android Development sub-forum.
If your phone is stock ROM, the General sub-forum (here) is the place to post.
Thanks.
But, but, but, but people with less than 10 posts can't post there, so it becomes their right to clutter the other sections in any way they like, because they're new and innocent and sweet and cuddly and don't know what a search button is...
That's the reason why i post in every threat .

That's not how it works. This is a developers forum; posts about development go in the development subforum, any other posts (queries, discussions, tips, tricks, etc, regardless of the software you're running) go here in the general subforum.

I agree 100% with hopscotchjunkie.
This forum is supposed to be the "untidy" forum, with all questions/queries etc. posted about the phone, stock ROM or not.
Android Development should only contain three types of threads, [DEV], [ROM], [TUT], or other threads that further the development on the platform (i.e. new kernels or whatever).

[Mandatory] Rules for Original Development-Forum

THIS FORUM IS ONLY FOR RELEASING AND DEVELOPING "ORIGINAL" ROMS, KERNELS, RECOVERIES.
"Original" in this sense are only ROMs that are compiled from source and contain significant and original modifications, so official versions of AOSP, AOKP, CM, Paranoid Android, and Team EOS ROMs are allowed. This decision is to be made by moderators.
"COLLECTIONS", "GUIDES", "REFERENCES" AND "LIBRARIES" BELONG IN GENERAL SECTION.
Try to keep the development forum CLEAN! No offtopic posting and no questions.
Use the report button in an offending post to let us mods know we need to take action. Dont take matters into your own hands!!!
Sources need to be posted for all kernels!!! Also for all ROMS where license demands it.

Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q Where can I download these ROM's and How do I install?
A You can find the links to download and installation instruction here or here .. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q How’s battery life?
A see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to its fullest
