I hope I correctly understood. If I did then it's this forum available via the "General Discussion" that you've linked:
General Topics
Discuss anything relating to phones that does not fit into the other forums: see Android tutorials, get advice on the best accessories, post a rant, or ask for help.
forum.xda-developers.com
As that forum states: "Discuss anything relating to phones that does not fit into the other forums: see Android tutorials, get advice on the best accessories, post a rant, or ask for help."

no, I need
General Development
but from main forum page we can see only general discussion

People how about ignoring a thread? and stop reply, so this thread will go down to the helll
Everytime the same story...In the future, no one have to reply to this kind of threads!
But now, rootkited will explain us why he posted here in the dev section..Please tell me
sorry..for reply again...but a little bit i can understand this...because i think here are the most people with knowledge....but anyway its the wrong section
I never saw an admin or mod givin such answers like the above....only the noobs....so i wont bother to answer befor you are at least as old as i am here on XDA
@mods, please move this thread to the proper section.Thanks
ROFLMAO! You think just because you are registered longer than others it makes you somewhat older? Wrong! Your number of post will show that and by that number you are just baby. And considering that you can't use search, you asked one millionth time the same ALREADY ANSWERED question AND you posted it to wrong section, you are baby n00b.
So, drink up your warm milk and go to bed.

Lot of threads like this in the desire general and in desire q&a..No root if u run the official gb ruu, just wait the update from alpharev/revolutionary, if the update will ever come.

any news, rumors etc. regarding possibility of rooting and porting custom roms to our Desires with the new hboot ??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
if some news was out, or even a little rumor, it will come out with dozen of threads in every section
Anyway there are people that s-offed it with an xtc clip, search on google for it, or going to an htc service center that "apparently" can downgrade ur device to froyo for you

[POLL][HELP THREAD][NOOB FRIENDLY]HTC One X

Hello guys, i started this thread because i see that there are a lot of question with the same purpose in the Q&A section, not only, but they're filling the Development threads with rubbish...
This thread will indicate the most important thing for our HOXs (HTC ONE X ) to you but it will also answer to your silliest questions .
If you want to ask something (even if it is the noobiestEstEst thing in the world), do it here without being afraid i'll answer as best as i can! then if i can't provide a good answer there will be someone else that will do it for you
First of all, i would suggest to read very carefully THIS thread in which you can find pretty much everything you'll need to know!
Rom's Q&A Threads I need to ask every single developer if i/we can make a single thread for their rom, so this will take time​ViperX​

in this thread i'll give some links to the other important guides i won't write again something that has already been written... :good:
EDIT: actually i see that ClydeB1 has already made a very specific thread in the Development thread...
ok, cleaned up a bit the OP, would be also a good idea to create a bunch of threads and each one will become the Rom's (specific rom) troubleshooting and issues thread... so that the development thread won't be filled up with n00by things, what do you think? it's a huge work but everyone will get the right benefits from it
Matt, here there is the Q&A ViperX thread
If you will add in op
Re: [HELP THREAD][NOOB FIRENDLY]HTC One X
I like the idea.....but, then it would make the OP very messy and in a couple of weeks it would be an endless list and people start to overread again. My opinion is to send the specific people to the specific needed thread at the time question comes.......
Yes Mr Hofs, but i think people don't use search button or search in 2-3 page if there is a thread for their problem.
So, if we can make a collection of helpful thread but only in Q&A section, we can make this section clean
Re: [HELP THREAD][NOOB FIRENDLY]HTC One X
Yep true .... But the specific rom Q&A threads needs to be maintained, and you need knowledge of the roms and keep yourself updated on those roms. That's very .....very time consuming.

that's what i wanted to do sorry for the misunderstanding my idea is to create a thread for each rom and then link that thread in this thread

This is also true
But if we found people who want to make this we can take this section of forum very clean!
We need ideas :good:
So, we can make a FAQ thread with the major request in this section!
Because, if you check the first 5 pages, you can see that in this section there is the same questions.
There are many solution, and we have to find which :good:
E:
I saw your latest post now, i can make Q&A SkyDragon and OrDroid because i love this rom, but for the other rom we need people who want to make it
let's see if the devs agree with this...
Re: [HELP THREAD][NOOB FIRENDLY]HTC One X
Yeah that's fine ! But i dont have the time to maintain a thread. I jump in when needed. My third baby is coming in 3 months so i have to think ahead a little

well, for example, i'm on ordoirdX and i will surely answer any question in that thread. but i do not use the other roms, so in the other rom's threads the users that use that rom will answer to the question about that rom, got it? what do you think?
Re: [HELP THREAD][NOOB FIRENDLY]HTC One X
Yes that's the best option. :thumbup:..i only use the viper.....and we have guich there already

Post What Where:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.
Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM/Kernel/Device development activity. Nothing else goes in here.
Themes & Apps - anything to do directly with the development of themes and/or applications. Nothing else goes in here.
BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM/Kernel/Device Hack/Mod, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing?... If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

Please feel free to share issues, questions and offer help
It is always best to thank a ROM OP, in lieu of simply posting "Thank you".
Please keep discussion focused, on the topic described in the OP
Dear followers of this ROM,
in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.
This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development
The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.
The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."
This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I download and install this ROM
5. Questions about ETA, etc

I'm actually looking for an xposed mod or something that's similar. Thanks!
Long time reader first time poster. Im currently running 1.6.3 candy kat on my HTC ONE M8. I tried flashing the candy5 beta but had a problem where my launcher kept crashing. I did a dirty flash. Would a clean flash of the ROM fix it? Sorry I'm a noob at this. I really like this ROM. It's been my daily driver and I'd like to try the beta.
