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.

What?
This guy is clearly trying to find Android programming related answers pertaining to this phone model, why would he need to post his question to the General section???
This is like the third Android development related qestion that I have recently read where you guys claim needs to be posted to General, so there is question why developers have given up on this phone model, and XDA overall.

Yes, I think this does pertain to programming for android. However, it's not development related to the phone.
Meaning this section is for actually posting development stuff for the phone. Asking about developing for the phone can be done in the General forum, I honestly don't care, but I think it's just how things are supposed to be categorized.

In regards to your question, this model is similiar enough to the vibrant that you can use whatever AVD's exist for the vibrant. Taking into consideration the difference with internel memory.
Hope that helps. Again general questions about developing, as opposed to offering development solutions should be posted in the General section. I'm not flaming you, I'm trying to help you.
move this.
The fact is it is still a question. Should be in General. Stop flooding the development forum with random questions and keep it clean.
This is a development question FFS. http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/devices/index.html
Where in
Galaxy S 4G Android Development
Android development for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G
does it say that you can't ask questions about development?
Taken from the Galaxy II thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063348
I think the same rules would apply here.

Bingo. I think this is a well known fact but apparently we need a sticky for it.
oh, look. another question in the dev section. how cute.
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!

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

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.

See here.....this is a view of all the sub sections for the SkyRocket. Ask questions in Q&A.

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

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.

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.

its fine if you posted in some other area by mistake, but you posted here, and in the noob thread here, thats not necessary or allowed.
no worries.

yes it is, but you also posted it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421 which is also q & a, a sticky at the top of this forum. that was my point, you post 2 times in q & a, once here in your own thread, and once in the noob thread i quoted.
i only know you posted in the noob q & a thread, because i replied to you there.
im sure no one in the noob thread told you to post in q & a, because its in q & a.

ok, to explain better, i went at looked at your posts.
in xda assist, they told you to ask in the thread i quoted before, which you did. then, when no one answered you in 20 minutes, you posted it again here, in this thread.
thats the problem, you need to only ask your question once per relevant forum, or as directed by higher members. you cant go to that forum and keep asking in short order when no one answers you right away.
make sense now?
5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer. (Also refer to Rule 16)
We don't allow any discussion as it relates to changing IMEI, therefore, this thread is closed.
