[Q]Where do I post questions for specific ROMs? - General Questions and Answers

Hi! I have been lurking around these few months and getting my phone rooted thanks to the help here... (Using the Virtuous OS for my Desire Z)
And so, I will like to post a specific question for it but I can't do so in the official thread for that ROM (Got an error message about my post count).
So, may I know where else can I post it?
Thanks!

Questions and answers for that device. If it has that sub-forum

[Q] Question about posting in development section

Hello, I have an Arc with BL unlocked and rooted. Today i go on CM7 using {ARC/ARC S}[DEVELOPMENT] - CM7.1.0 - FXP041 FreeXperia Project post in development section.
All go fine at the first try, awesome ROM and great job from the team FXP. When I try to reply the thread to thanks the Team for the ROM and tell them that I am very grateful, hallucinated and excited with the release the forum says to me that i can´t post in that section because i am a new user :S. Also I can read that maybe I need to post 10 times in other forums before posting development section. I don´t want to troll forums for posting in development section. Someone knows a solution for my problem?
I don´t know where I should post my problem, so I choose Q&A section. If I am wrong please take the liberty of moving it.
P.D.: Sorry for my English.
The solution would be to make use of the "THANKS" button, which was made exactly for the purpose to stop thanks posts.
Read the hints for new users, it recommends you to ask questions here and also answer questions here, none of it would be trolling. 10 posts isn't that much

This is the Inspire Android Development Section... I'm assuming you have an unlocked Inspire? Or are you considering buying an unlocked one? Either way..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1016
That forum will help. Post your question in there. Not to be rude or anything.
1. wrong section. ALL questions belong in Q&A...
2. you will never get above edge using an unlocked AT&T phone on TMobile....its physically IMPOSSIBLE
Thank you rudeness

For a novice post to the general or q&a forums.
Have you tried using the search functionality? It's likely others have experienced the same problem as you and the question has already been answered somewhere

ok. I understood. many many thanks for all who repply this post.. !!!
Welcome
Just so you know, questions ARE NOT meant to go into the development threads. Those are for bug reports only..NOT QUESTIONS. This is part of the reasoning behind needing 10 posts. It is in the hopes that you will learn these things first. There is a Q&A forum for questions.

Mr. I understand what you mean... maybe Iam write the wrong words.. its not a question what I need to do, its a bug on that room what I installed on my samsung skyrocket... and because have that bug on my phone I need to put a repply so maybe the room developer fix that bug.... however.. thanks for your repply . . .
Was wondering the same question too..
Heya
mee too.
Mods need to close this thread, else it will become another one of those "I want 10 posts, so I'll get them from here" threads...
So just posting in the general section is how you get to the 10 post limit. Is what I understand.

Questions are not posted in the development sub sections of specific device's forums. They are posted in the Q&A sections.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1399
See here.....this is a view of all the sub sections for the SkyRocket. Ask questions in Q&A.

Am I confused???

Or should any questions regarding specific ROMs be asked in the ROM thread???
No, if you have a QUESTION on anything, post it in the Q&A section.

Okay, for instance it's a problem with a specific ROM only the developer can answer... or maybe has been experienced by other users of the same ROM... The developer and every other user of the ROM is looking at it's original thread.... not the Q&A forum.... You might get an answer in this forum but you're more likely to get an answer in the ROM's original thread...Am I wrong????(Again another rhetorical question)
You are correct if you have any questions regarding a specific ROM post in that ROM thread if its a general question about the phone its self use the Q&A section.

Unless it has to do with benchmark scores for a certain ROM ... those call for a new thread in Q&A.

You need to make like 10 posts in non development threads before you can post in the development section.

Just go around and give a simple thank you to all the Devs in the general section. You'll be at 10 posts before you know it. I had the same problem as you did. Now all is well

Right?
I have been lurking for years, but only recently did I obtain anything useful to say, but it would not allow me to. So when I went to post on the thread I was like,
RAAAAAAGGGGGEEE!!!!!!
But I suppose it would not hurt the forums out to have a few miscellaneous general discussion posts.
This is your answer:
Please read forum rules before posting
Questions and help issues go in Q&A
Thread moved
Thank you for your cooperation

I too am frustrated by the 10 post rule - I'd be happy to help out answering questions if I knew what I was doing enough to contribute, but I don't. How am I supposed to learn if I can't ask questions? Just doesn't really make sense to me . . .

You can help and ask questions...in the Q/A section. We all had to do it so it's not like you're the first to be saddled with these limitations.

Guess I assumed this forum wasn't really designed for questions regarding rooting the phone. I pictured it more as a troubleshooting section / more general forum and thought questions regarding rooting a phone were for the developer thread. Perhaps I got my wires crossed

Oh nah Q/A is perfect for all GSIII questions haha I guarantee if you post a new thread about anything that is not your developed rom/mod/kernel in either dev section, you'll be met with a lot of negativity. I'm not even joking. A good tip to know is: when in doubt, post it in the Q/A section. Typically post in a developer thread if you're reporting bugs or helping someone else in that thread similar to what I'm doing right now with you. Only create a new thread in either development section if you developed something and want to share it.
