Alright, this is quite dead, opening it up to any general talk. If you have question about what dev work is going on or any other stuff like that, feel free to stop by and talk to us. I and a few others are on all the time.
I have just created an IRC channel to be used for general questions and answers. Keep in mind I can not be around 24/7 and nor can anyone else, so you may not get a response right away or at all, but it should be much faster than the forums.
Feel free to just hop on and see what is going on in there.
What Is IRC and This Channel?
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It is a very old chat protocol, but us still used a lot. A channel on IRC is like a private room where anyone that joins it can chat. Because it is an instant messaging system, simple questions can be answered much quicker and easier than in the forums. Keep in mind it is not a replacement. many types of questions should still stay in the forums.
What Should This Be Used For, and What Should Stay In the Forum?
What should be asked here:
1. basic questions that will likely be easily answered
2. things you think have been posted before but cannot find, someone may know where they are
3. asking for opinions on a theme or other requests for people.
Examples:
1. "Where is the boot animation stored on the phone" - nice short answer of /system/media/bootanimation.zip
2. "has anyone seen that post about X"
3. "looking for a few people to test out a rom" PM me on XDA
What should not be asked here:
1. things that would be very relevant to other people
2. complicated problems that take a lot of explanation/ screenshots
3. complaints about lack of dev support or anything else
4. off topic disscussion- you can do that in some other room
How Do I Join This Chat Channel
Short Answer:
Use any IRC client and join #atrix2_qa on Freenode
Long Answer:
If you are not Familiar with IRC you have 2 choices to join in. The first is easier, but you will not be connected all the time, and I would recommend against it if you want to hang around
1. Webchat:
Go to http://webchat.freenode.net/ and choose a username and put #atrix2_qa for the channel, and of course fill out the captcha then hit connect. You can see who is connected on the right. if know one is on try again later. Use your xda username so people know who you are.
2. using a client:
Linux: you can use the built in chat with ubuntu. go to edit-accounts, then add one with the plus at the bottom choose IRC, freenode, and your nick (use your xda one so people know who you are). Then hit room-join and choose #atrix2_qa.
Windows: you can use pigeon I know plus may others. I can post a how to if needed, so let me know
Mac: I know there are clients, but I have never used them, so google it.
Please post any questions about how to use IRC in this thread.
Even if you don't have a question, come join and see what is being discussed. I don't mind general talk about our phone if it is quiet in the chat, so come hang out.
I will be on most of the evening, so you can com ask or say hi
Thanks for this! It will be very helpful to the community, and a great idea! :good:

Here's the link to it.
Reddit is an awesome community based social site. It's basically the only website you'll ever have to visit to get your interweb needs.
Update :
New stylesheet to resemble the touchwiz look.

I noticed that the AOSP Style X Rom was removed from the development. I decided to look around for it online because I never saved it on my computer. I am simply re-posting it just in case anyone wanted to download it again.

+1 to that. I have to agree here. airfluip1, you do have this attitude and although I can't tell whether it's bad or not because it's only letters, they may sound troll-ish or offensive. I have been a troll sometimes too, I admit, in extreme cases. I know it's frustrating to deal with lots of people and mostly when questions are stupid but that's something devs should be prepared for. I really don't mind because the attitude has been around for some time that I'm used to it and just not in developers, but users and specially those that think they are above others because they self proclaimed forum sheriffs.
Anyway... I look forward to more AOSP Style so take this as constructive criticism, if you want to. If not, it's OK too.
Why remove such a great rom? It disappointed me and I was lucky to find it on another site.

Because he wanted to remove it. There is other things behind it and unless he wants to air it out then no reason to. Also this is not your work so technically it doesnt belong here. Sticky in the forums states this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213713
Oh no, I'm so scared to get this removed. I clearly stated it wasn't mine. Just trying to help people out who never saved the rom to their computer. Its a good rom and I'm sure I helped a few people out who wanted it.
Just in a really bad mood.
Mostly because of team nerd.
But I was just killing development on it so I could work on other more important things. Than I was banned from team nerd?!?
Idk why but they should realize that banning random people who they don't like isn't going to help development.

@airfulup1 The thing about irc is it is not xda. The same rules do not apply there. Fyi i was not the one to ban permanently. You gotta understand comeing into the channel and asking for CM7 updates every hour we clocked it u could actually set your clock to it. Doesn't Help development one bit. You are mad at team nerd for what? For banning you from there development channel for not actually contributing to development? Sorry to post this here but there is 2 sides to the story.

dude they were kicking you from irc because your like this, when you just entered the channel, your already asking for what's the new development...
that's really rude...
you should have ask'm politely.
special Bryan he always get annoyed.
yeah i could tell because he always kicks you :-D
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
LOL yeah I noticed the ETA asking.
I've been in there a few times. Once to ask FB & Bryan where to post some logs for their review. The times after that was to just hang out, see what's being discussed, and socialize a bit.
My point is that at no time did anyone kick/ban me nor was anyone rude. It was pretty laid back.
If/when you're back in there Airfluip, just be chill & you will be treated with the same respect as you give others. Not trying to say anything against you by any means - just offering some advice from an old guy
PRO tip. If you had just idled in the channel you would've gotten all the info and updates you wanted. There are a few users who do this and they get the info they wanted because they just stay there and read what we have to say. Once I get back to my computer I can maybe let you join the channel muted. You won't be able to type anything but you will get your progress updates

ok so this is to help keep the peace i am posting this on top of the forum rules they may overlap or intersect. My goal here is to help keep down on the issues of repeat threads, wrong sections, trolling, and any other hijinx that comes here.
1. SEARCH
yes sometimes its hard especially on your phone with taptalk because we all know how that works. Solution: Try using google search using keywords such as xda, skyrocket, and whatever your issues is this always works for me.
If your on a computer use xda's built in search tool or google as i stated above.
I personally promise 90% of all issues can be found on the web with answers if you just take a few minutes to search
2. IF ITS A QUESTION IT BELONGS IN Q&A
It does not matter what the question pertains to it is a question and belongs in Q&A i have reported tons of these here recently having them moved. i know you think that its a general question but no it belongs in Q&A ok.
3. READ
This one is kinda broad for a reason here we go
If you ask a question within a thread at least have the decency to read the last few pages to see if anything comes up that may answer your question im not talking the whole thread but maybe 3 or so pages. The reason for this is that i have seen alot of threads where people have a question answered then not 2 or 3 posts later the same question comes up. This leads to cluttering of the thread making it much harder for others to find information.
This also goes along with wanting to make a thread look at like 3 pages of threads to make sure you dont have a reapeat post this thing happens alot again it comes from lack of attention.
4. TROLLING/FLAMING
This ones a big one and im a massive perp for this and will be the first to admit it.
We need to stop the trolling its just getting worse and not fixing anything yes its hard to ignore especially for us old timers but we need to set the standard now this forum is too big for us to be going on like we have been.
Solution: squash the issues by reporting if you wanna report multiple times fine get your buddies to report fine but lets stop the hate i personally am working on this as well.
i know you guys are gonna ignore this and whatever but my hope is the message gets across to you guys and makes this section a more peaceful place for all
wanted to thank you for posting this even though most of it should be common sense but i only got 8 thanks per day

You might mention in the OP that the best way to Google search the forums in to prefix the search with:
site:forum.xda-developers.com
So to search for 'skyrocket ics update' within the xda forums only would be:
site:forum.xda-developers.com skyrocket ics update
Also you could add links to the existing threads stickied in Dev. We all know their stickied for a reason, but many people overlook them and head straight for the new thread button
If you are going to help somebody, have the courtesy to check back on the thread so you know they are in the right direction.

I hope that more users will notice how we act here from other device subforums.
It drives me crazy when I try to read through the dev forum for sgh-i717 or most other devices, and it's almost impossible to figure out what the developers are doing, what issues are current, who is doing what... I mean if the idea is to be a development community and you can't track the development or have the ability to contribute because you know what is going on... So many users asking questions about the rom or kernel when there is a Q&A thread for that specific purpose. It really works against the community, and you see the high output developers leave because no one contributes to their projects and their threads are thrashed. It's stressful to be the only dev on a project, I have some experience there.
Thank goodness for contributors and other devs for jumping in on some of the projects I started or we started together or the projects we have now wouldn't exist. Not to mention the other devs that kanged that work to make something even better. I don't look down on that, because it keeps the flashaholics happy, and we all get to learn about their skill sets.
I think our community gets that. And the trolls just sorta get squeezed out by reporting their posts and keeping threads on topic.

I agree with you its frustrating to have ten million questions that have been answered or are self explanatory.
However if you goto the device the op is talking about they have multiple versions of the same phone all lumped into a category. Each one had a development section but there is only ONE q&a section. And with the amount of development on that device the q&a section moves extremely fast. That doesnt mean its ok to post questions in the dev thread AT ALL! It does mean the devs should be linking q&a threads in the first post so people arent hunting through 20 pages of current thread just to find it.

This is a under used suggestion. Even if in the wrong place answer the question move on. Report posts of people telling people to use search and not actually helping keep the thread clean. Think about it. How many times have you seen somebody post hey man use search and then multiple other people will do the same thing? I think I have been guilty but I try to avoid doing that anymore. If I cant offer a answer I dont post. It keeps the noise down and people from misunderstanding me.
