[WIKI] Updated ROMs section - Epic 4G Android Development

Hey fellas and ladies, I was getting a bit jealous of the nicely formatted ROMS section on the EVO wiki page, so I took matters into my own hands and formatted the Custom ROMs section into a sortable table. I hope it will make things clearer for people getting into the dev scene.
Update: I don't have access to add URLs to posts. The link to the wiki post is in a sticky at the top of the forum.

Well where's the link?

Themes Section in Droid X Wiki!!

Check out the Droid X Wiki!!
The wiki is a one stop place for all your needs (eventually). Instead of searching through pages of threads and posts, you can go straight to the themes section of the wiki and click on the theme that you wish the install or view. I has many (just about all) of the themes that are for the Droid X in one location.
The wiki is open to the public and is encouraged to help out and help with the upkeep!
IM ON A WIKI PAGE!!!!
Sooo cool
Im like a little kid right now
Haha and 928 isnt on there, not to be mean but he tried to get me banned from droidforums...

Ill take it any way i can get it!
Very cool. I like how organized and simple it is. Thanks for that.
ok I know its an xda wiki, but should we post the themes that are in other forums? ones on droidforums and droidxforums, or do we keep the list to only the cool people

Hmm... it was meant to bring the Droid X community together...but it is also meant for informations about the Droid X so... go for it.

Just an announcement...

This is just a little announcement... I am feeling really fuzzy inside because this device now has it's own forum! Oh let the development commence!
I agree very exciting, I don't think anyone knows yet spread the word.

As you were the thread starter on the Mega thread, could add a link to the new section in your OP there for Newbies to find steering them over to this new section? Maybe update that thread title a bit to help redirect folks? It just got so big though some of us have followed and read all along, I think at this point it's not really worth it for New folks... also they may quickly get turned off as thread starts mostly finding the original problems

Theming

I'd like to start doing themes and what not, mainly for aosp 2.2 ROMS just cuz there my favorite, the main thing I want to try and recreate is the Droid X I just love the look so clean in my opinion, what all do I need? I'm not good with adb or the sdk, I could try to learn if someone is willing to walk me through it. What is the easiest yet most affective way to make/port them. Thanks in advance

327 posts and still cannot read... or post in the right forums... . Did you even try the Apps and Themes forums...? There's a sticky and multiple posts on how to go about doing this...

Agreed. Wrong use of "there" and "affective" too

Yayy for getting hated on for trying to be somewhat useful -_-' I have skimmed through the themes and apps forum and didn't find much other than the theme injector and the sticky had no link to actually creating. And so far every question I've asked in q&a gets ignored

If you haven't found an answer, you haven't searched. Hint: there is a section that has "theme" in the title. I'd start there
That's also why questions get ignored.

Lions, Tigers, and Stickies, OH MY!

Seriously, can we clean this **** up?
Guides/How to's: fine
Roms: dumb
Good Luck.
You want to volunteer?
While Venelar lacks tact, I do kinda agree.
Why are roms stickied in this subforum? This isn't behavior I see in other subforums.
If I'm browsing on my gtablet, it requires scrolling through a couple screens of things that haven't been updated in a while to get to a lot of the new posts.
Would people want a stickied thread that has links to all the roms and kernels currently in development? I'd probably be willing to help with that.
I moderate elsewhere, wouldn't be a big deal imo. Anyway, lack of tact aside it is out of control in this section of the board. I've seen complaints on a few threads about it and when the preferred method of viewing this particular forum is through the "buggy at best" xda app (so that stickies are on another tab) from the tablet i think that says a lot.
some guide consolidation/and unsticking rom threads would work wonders to spruce the place up a bit.
You might want to take it up with TheImpaler747. Wouldn't this be something for the moderators to iron out?
Not trying to be aloof - I actually agree with you and had asked for the same, about 2 weeks back.
Maybe guides and how-to's can get their own sub-forum. We have many stickied guids/how-tos/faqs in the g-tab general, and now there is the new gTab q+a.
Maybe put all guides/how-tos/faqs/things that are sticky in their own sub-forum (aka gTab info) and then have q+a, development, and app talk. Seems like that would cover the breakdown of topics a little better.
Also, seriously, who sends a complaint about the number of stickies. Weak.
Development is where Roms belong not pissing and moaning about stickied threads.

Agreed. And posting this thread in the very forum you're complaining about doesn't help matters - it just perpetuates it.
This process of stickying threads that are tried and true and helpful, etc. is followed in many other forums.
As to guides/how-tos... DEFINITE good idea. Just need someone to do it instead of us mods who are swamped as it is.
Thanks.
I think the links should stay about the same if you move everything though, so that's good, lol.
I volunteer myself jerdog

The how-to's would be great in the "Q&A" forum so people can read those first in hopes they'll read them and possibly get their question answered before posting another thread.
Why not create an all encompassing "G-Tablet Bible" Thread that includes links to how-to's, roms, guides, and other helpful info. Lots of forums implement this method of organization. If the EVO forum can stay clean, this should be able to as well.
Seems like you already have a couple of volunteers that would do it, now it's just a matter of making it, getting it stickied, and erasing the other stickies.
I thought the development sub forum was where developers gathered to exchange hacks and fixes for ROMs. I would of though ROMs ready for play would have their own sub thread... I had requested this as well a week or so back. It is a bit messy. I dont see any reason to bash a guy who is asking for something that would benefit everyone. If we cant play nice together in the benefit of making a better G Tab then i suggest we all return them! It aint a good product without the support of a good community. Just my 2 cents.

Yes I do! lol
I started a thread over in the development section with a listing of most of the ROMS and Kernels that were stickied and plan on finishing it after I get home from work. Hopefully this will help in the organization of forums as I couldn't agree more on how unorganized it looks with so many stickies.

Assistance for improving XDA Wiki

I am interested in volunteering some time into helping to improve the XDA Wiki in order to bring a balance to the FORUM + WIKI equation. Who among this community has time (and is willing) to assist?
In addition to this post, I have brought the issue up with Dave Shaw who is the sysop of the Wiki.
ill spare some time since im always in here answering questions. I was going to ask Mr clown too make some stickies
sent from my not so stock SGS4G
Join the group
Thanks fknfocused. If we use the Wiki properly, we can avoid having to tax Mr Clown with routine details... And, while stickies in forums are nice, they create a bottleneck since they are so tightly controlled.
I created a group for Galaxy S 4G Owners (http://forum.xda-developers.com/group.php?groupid=421) which you may be interested in. I am simply looking for ways to help us help ourselves better...

That is one problem; another is that old-timers post with a "+1" to mean they agree... I see that there is a request outstanding to add an "AGREE" button (like the "THANKS" one)...
The first thing that we need to do is to identify what information needs to be added. In the wiki, there has not been a GS4G page created yet. I've put a stub on my User page... This is one cause for all the noob questions in the fora, I am guessing. Since, at present, searches do not exist on the wiki side.
The things that are specific to the GS4G are the ROM Mods, kernel, and CWM (which, of course, is still beta)...
Announcement: New Wiki Page evolving
Now, when one searches the XDA-Developers Wiki for "Galaxy S 4G," the researcher will be directed to an emerging Wiki page about the SGS4G. Further, if one searches for "Nandroid Backup," the search engine provides a list of links:
General Reference
Specific Reference
Among other results
As stated in my previous postings here, together we can improve XDA-Developers by adding content to the Wiki which balances the content of the Fora (which are abundantly active!).
Again I ask, "Would you please help us in this venture?"
Resurect old thread.

Just putting this back at the top of the 'unread' list... maybe people will start jumping on the 'update the wiki' bandwagon.
I put some general guides on there. But what exactly should go on there?
Edit: Some user updates to this page is a pretty good place to start, I suppose.

Wait we have a WIKI? I've been around for a little while and I didn't know that. Maybe the first step would be to get the news out in a forum layout. Meaning sticky the link. Maybe put it into the subforum listing? Sounds like a great way to put all the resources available here into an easy to use format. I don't know much about how it works but if I can help let me know.

The basic wiki format is easy to learn. Just hit edit and see how the page is actually organized.
I updated the Gingerbread section on the Samsung Galaxy S 4G ROMs wiki page to place sort of a general template. I left out the ones based on leaks as they are pretty outdated.

Good to know that there has been interest in the SGS4G Wiki. And what a resource it has become!!
Remember, each page that gets added should also be added to the Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G category:
There's also a group for Galaxy S 4G owners...
