Develop Bugs

Chef Forums?

I'd like to make a suggestion for XDA to consider.
I was just about to suggest to DL that he open his own website forum after watching how many threads become very, very, very, painfully long - like 400++++ posts for each build. That makes it hard for newbies to understand what's going on, and even for those of us who do know, to find what we're after.
I am wondering if those developers who regularly post ROMs here on XDA might be given their own sub-forums for the purposes of bug reports and improvement suggestions to manage their own product.
For example, guys like NRG, DFT, DL and others are always posting updates. But the threads get very long, and very confusing with duplicate posts. If they had their own forum subsection - say for example DL could have his own Android subforum for troubleshooting his NAND and SD builds, that would, I think, very much help.
Just an idea.
Thanks!

We have one, it just didn't really take off, so it's been "upgraded"... more info is in svetius's State of Site announcement : http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/the-state-of-the-site/

[Q] App promotion

Is there a forum for promoting my metronome app and asking for testing/reviews?
The app is a pretty good looking (ipoddish) Android metronome

Possibly one of these - Software Development or the Apps one depending on how "User Ready" it is. BUT this only applies if this is a FREE app or at the very least has a free version for us here at xda-devs. We do not allow promotion of paid apps on the forums.
We do have a paidware forum, but that is restricted to those with a bit of history of developing here at xda-developers, so not available for new members.

Thanks for your reply. Of course this is a free app, but it seems I still don't have permissions to write to those forums
Thanks anyway

Once you make 10 posts elsewhere (in non-development threads_, you will be able to make your own thread
It's quite easy to get 10 posts...have a look in the off-topic forum and reply to some threads in there...or help someone who has a problem in the Q&A forum

[REQ] Odex and Deodex article

I'm unsure if this is the right place for this thread, but
I was wanting to request a feed article be made for xda portal discussing the basics and differences of odex and deodex, how to handle each etc etc. I see it a lot when going to download this or that to flash on my phone and sometimes feel ignorant about it.
I would find such an article very useful and interesting, as I think others would. Would anyone that posts on xda be willing to whip up such an article? Or, how could I properly submit my request for the article?

You may find this gem helpful mate, I certainly learned a few things

If you'd like to see anything specific on the portal then feel free to contact one of the writers or our illustrious Portal Admin willverduzco who will be happy to discuss it with you.
I'll raise this and see if it's indeed feasible. Perhaps adamoutler may even be willing to do a pro tip video on the deodexing / reodexing process but I'd have to ask him about that....

Please don't clutter up Q&A's with pointless threads like this. If you really feel the need to then it would best fit in the General section.

well as i see it it is still a Q&A

More information about the ROM would be great

shouldn't this actually be in the development section, with the rest of the roms?

I HAVNT POSTED ANY ROM YET
it is just a Q 2 take a felling fore the interest fore a new rom

How do we know if we want to try your rom out if it's not available to download yet? Post the rom in the Dev section and await feedback - no need for a thread like this!

You want people to give you feedback on a new ROM that doesn't exist and that you haven't told us anything about? You do realise how ridiculous that is, don't you?
