[06 July] XdaBugs - A Formal Introduction
Does your ROM play up?
Annoyed that those lazy developers are doing nothing?
Your complaints getting lost in all the n00b questions?
Well look no further - XdaBugs is your answer!!
What is XdaBugs?
XdaBugs is a Bug Tracking system that is designed for the multiple devices, roms and problems that mobile devices suffer. Using our unpatented technology, you can place a bug report using a structured form that allows developers to quickly decipher the problems and users to add comments and additional info
But, doesn't that replace these forums?
No.
XdaBugs is designed to compliment the Xda-Developers forums. XdaBugs is made with being clear and concise in mind, hence all comments\bugs are moderated and anything posted to the site needs to stay on topic.
So, how do I get started?
First goto: http://xdabugs.vidmes.com
Then, have a look around the site - you can even see bugs and comments without logging in!
A good place to start is the Help\FAQ page. Alternatively, clicking on every link in the sidebar also works...
Once your used to the layout and the site, goto the Register page and sign up
Now start spreading the bugs!! (That sounds like a good slogan... then again...)
Side Note: I'm a Developer, and my ROM is currently on the site, what should I do?
Sign up to the site then PM me on Xda-Developers requesting developer privileges
From there, remember to check on all of your bugs for your ROM, and edit the rom and bugs as you see neccesary
Side Note: I want to help out by being an Admin!
Great! Now go away!
But seriously, if you really want to help, then PM me requesting admin privileges and argue your case. If its decent, I'll grant you privileges.
[?? June] Original Post
The new Xda Bugtracker I have been working on has now been finalised (or at least in a Beta) - so its ready for use!
Just goto http://xdabugs.vidmes.com and check it out
NOTE:
It is still a little buggy, but I'm working on that
It IS NOT a forum - so bugs\comments will be heavily moderated
If you need developer\admin privleges, then PM me
Also PM or email me any bugs that you find
Enjoy!
(Also, all data from the Alpha version's database has been wiped - so you may need to re-register...)
Bugtracker
Hi D,
So now it's official
Great work thanks, I will ad my rom again for start
Cheers,

Actually, I added most of the ROMs that are currently there - just to show some examples\get things started
Either way - Enjoy!
A Note to Developers:
You do actually need to edit your bugs and add\remove comments - thats the whole point of a bug tracking system, however I'm still seeing a lot of "unverified" bugs...
There isn't a big contribution to bug tracker.... i don't understand why guys don't participate to that !
is it still on?

New Version! (0.02.7b)
Includes
Minor bug fixes
Bugs now show the date of their latest comment
Date of latest comment is highlighted if it is new (compared to your lst logout)
A reminder for Developers
Please ensure that only your latest version is on the Xda Bugs site
Deprecate old versions (you can do this by editing them)
The site is supposed to be heavily moderated, so remove\edit comments as needed
Remember to update the status of bug (you can do this by editing them)
PM me if you need Developer permissions!
I like the idea of a bug tracker, but i believe i can say why it's not so much used.
1) UI is not intuitive. Bugs must be listed in table format with Title, Rom version, severity, reproducability etc etc in one list, searchable between roms and more.
2) The first thing you're faced with when you go to the site is a login prompt. First page must be the bug list, and you're not asked for login until you want to submit a new bug.
Not trying to all-knowing or anything, just giving constructive suggestions, i can even help out if nobody are up to it.

I Mate Jas Jar
I upgraded my jas jar to the 2.09.01 and now it does not work or reboot any suggestions or idea how to recover or make it work with this rom
I mate are the worst with support or taking care of customers for $1300+ this is not good. Never again. None the less I own the jas jar and want to make the best out of it. Any help is appreciated.

Was it official release or took rom from this forum? Can you describe clearly meaning of "it does not work or reboot" - are you stuck on any screen, splash? Try to reflash again, first

Fixed.
It was a DNS issue, so it may take a day or two to propogate. Alternatively, you can bring up the "Run" box in windows (Start->Run...) and type in "ipconfig /flushdns" then hit "Ok" - this should clear your DNS Cache
Update: At the request of flipz, this will not be released until his public release. Sorry.
Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce that I've created a 2.1 ROM!
This ROM is based on Fresh 2.0, only I didn't like the fresh stuff, so I removed that .
Thanks to deca, flipz, toast, gbphil, and tjaero. Without you, I wouldn't know where this ROM would be.
Practically EVERYTHING works in this 2.1 ROM, including:
Camera (camera recording doesn't work)
Bluetooth
MMS
and practically everything else, but most importantly:
it has the... .29 KERNEL
I also made a lot of my own modifications to it:
Mods:
Added stock Android keyboard, htc keyboard still there though. (Please test, not sure if it works)
Added ES file manager
Added Wired tether
Flash player 10 (NOT LITE, 10!) installed
Added Sprint Navigation (didn't put in Sprint TV; it doesn't work on 2.1)
Added launcher2.apk (needs testing however, not sure if/how it will work)
Removed bootsound
General optimization
Known bugs/missing features:
Google prompts you to sign in every boot (think of it as a 'security feature' )
No camera recording for a odd reason
No visual voicemail
Trackball light lights up at random for some reason
Download links:
At the request of flipz, I will wait until his public release of his ROM before this is released.
He released his, so I think it's okay to release mine. This is a test release, not fully done. I think I'm going to wait until the offical HTC release to release the final version.
Once again, this is just a TEST RELEASE:
Also, please restart as soon as it boots, or you'll get a bunch of FC's

The one thing I politely asked all donators was that they waited until I released my rom to the public before working off of it.

You are MORE than welcome to work off of it. People love variations. All I ask is that you wait a couple days until I release to the public. I'm not trying to stifle creativity. Android is open and people are free to work off of it. I can't/won't stop you. But I do request that you wait.
yeah screw this. ur an ass.
another thing would be that u say u stripped out fliz's work but the fact is he themed and ported the whole thing. every colored icon in it is his work. so what did u take out to make it urs?!
Glad your holding off on the release.
well thanks for the build up. I was really looking forward to this. I also do not like the fresh stuff so i will not donate to have to customize flipz rom. I thought you developers were about open source and helping this community. Not trying to make money off your work

I know, and I really appreciate flipz doing all this. I never said I completely make all this, all I said I did is took out some stuff I didn't like. I'm very sorry you feel this way. I took out some fresh stuff I didn't like, such as the boot sound. My intentions were to make a ROM that people like me, who don't want the fresh boot sound and stuff, and just a easy, complete and fast 2.1 ROM.

Thanks for being so polite, I'm sorry for this, won't happen again.
I have to say, I kind of agree with toast here. There are too many ROM's popping up based off of what I would call "breakthrough" ROM's... ie. a ROM that has added a new feature or has a major speed increase, something along those lines. I think what would help this situation of people releasing ROM's based on what they like would be to make a thread that shows how to customize your own ROM (removing/adding files, etc.), and then people wouldn't need to download ROM's that are based off other peoples work but have a few things removed or added. Look at the Pancake 0.1 thread... SO MANY PEOPLE requested versions of the ROM with things added or removed, and there ended up being atleast 5 versions of it. Seriously people, either learn how to work with Android or don't complain.
haha yeah, we need some sort of criteria before people can just start slappin "[ROM]" all willy nilly on their thread titles
Love EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!
First off, this is meant to be constructive criticism; I use Synergy ROM and look forward to flashing nightlies. My only issue is with the changelog. I'm sure many others would agree that the lack of any detail for each commit/build is a real turn off. This forum is for power users, and while a few words describing changes may suffice for some persons, detailed technical descriptions for each change would only serve to benefit this ROM's reputation and rate of adoption. It's simply good development practice to use detailed comments.

Well, first, these guys are doing this in their off time and are busy with the actual developing of their ROM....Second the CM10 changelog isn't much more detailed at all... granted they provide the code that's been changed but that doesn't do much for the every day flasher, only for other developers. It's nothing new is all Im getting too
I would say most if not all the commits shown are pretty detailed or detailed enough to be understood. Some of them are just minor little tweaks that would thrown into the category of "Speed improvements/tweaks" or "Tons more tweaks and enhancements" but with the change log you get to see what exactly is being added and when its added. That's a lot more than other roms give you.
they vary
I would agree with everyone in this thread so far
Some of the updates have been vague or couched in terms that many wouldn't understand. The developers are doing this on their own time and as a hobby (though they do get some donations - not really a commercial enterprise though). Most of the update descriptions are enough to get the message across and are certainly more than some developers give. Even the apps in Google Play have some vague "What's new" lines at times (if any).
That said, I think Eschelon has improved a bit, or at least is a bit more conscious of the need for clearer update info at times. The one that really stood out for me was "Revision 60: Volume hack" which raised a bunch of questions on the Synergy thread. With R68 that hack was removed as it caused some problems. With that update there was a clearer note "Revision 68: Remove 10 step volume hack".
I think that without writing a paragraph describing the feature as existed, the changes, and the resulting functionality, you will never satisfy everyone. Most people running the ROM are knowledgeable enough to get the meaning of short notes. The new users probably won't, but then it might be a good learning experience for them.
The only thing that might really help is starting a Synergy thread in the FAQ section (if there isn't one already) and pointing new users there to ask their questions (as users with less than 10 posts can't post to the Synergy ROM thread directly).

I think that synergy's changelog gives you much better info than most. There are details and there are too many details. Giving technical descriptions of changes opens the door for every person to start picking apart each and every change.
I think the amount of detail in synergy's changelog is spot-on.
While the changelog can be vague, it seems like most of the unclear commits end up getting discussed in the thread anyway. Making the commits a full sentence or so would nice, but it's pretty low on my wishlist, personally. On a side note, this discussion would probably be more appropriately held in the ROM thread itself.
I've tested most things that i use day to day without any issues.

Overall I think the info given is acceptable, what I do not like is that I am flashing so many different things that I can forget what build I was on or liked. The "latest build here" link does just as it says (which inherently should be a good thing), but only lists the most current build for download unlike CM that has all recent builds there with description options on the same page. I actually downloaded and flashed r68 twice thinking I was adding the next nightly!
Also on a similar note, what is the smaller zip file that is posted under the larger most current build? Is that a flashable add on that has the most recent changes in a smaller file form? Unclear on that.

You can click the "Old" link on the download page for the latest nightly and you will get a listing of all the nightly builds. The smaller zip is a MD5 key which the TWRP recovery uses to verify the ROM file to make sure it downloaded properly before flashing it to your phone.
Thanks for the info, as I have only used CWM and have not run into that before in my use. I really got to read up on TWRP and play around with it, from what I have read it seams like an overall better recovery with more options and UI.

I really like TWRP over CWM, especially for the MD5 feature. I use this most when I download the ROM's directly from my phone. I don't really trust the phone's browser to download the file correctly every time (have had halting issues in the past).
Below is a format that should be used as an example of how a rom thread should look. It doesnt have to be exact. I suggest that you stay creative and use all the features in the advanced panel when creating a thread.
1. Name of rom, team, etc
2. Introduction
3. Changelog in code or php tags
4. What's included in the rom in the (apps, tweaks, scripts, addons, mods) in code of php tags
5. What works/what doesn't work in code or php tags
6. Credits (Users name-with link to (profile/github/or thread u got tweak from embedded), and what they did to help you)
7. Screenshots (2-10 different screenshots of different aspects of rom)
8. Kernel with either link to thread you got it from or github (if stock sense or cm please state that and that is enough)
9. Instructions on how to install the rom (also if special instruction for a2sd or beats audio...etc)
10. Do's and Don'ts of the rom
11. Questions & Answers section (I find this helpful to write out asked questions with solutions at the bottom of the op. I find that it cuts down on the question being asked a million times)
12. Finally the dl link
13. Additional add-ons (this can go into first post or reserved posts after)
I find the embedded link looks and feels better throughout the op if possible.
All sections should have a header with enlarged text and spaced out so people can read it easily.
I am hoping that this helps to make this section a little cleaner and easier. enjoy
The way I look at this is that it takes US weeks/days/hours to make these roms....we can take the time out to make sure that the op looks professional and clean
Also Make sure the op is fully ready before posting. I know we all get excited to release a rom but stating that half the stuff will be updated as time permits just shows that you are lazy and in a hurry which doesnt look good cause if thats the case then how does your rom run....
No posting a a rom thread without a DL link either
Thanks Papa Smurf151 i think everyone who is getting ready to post a rom should be redirected here!
sorry if im not allowed to post here, so please delete my comment if needed
i left this open for feedback
How about how stable it is like in the old days?
I remember last year everyone would label them as beta, RC, final etc.

I think what Papa Smurf outlined in the OP is more then enough and it covers the basics while keeping the majority of the threads uniformed or at least try to
I also don't think we should start being over critical here and require individuals that start threads in the development section to add labels like Alpha, Beta, MC, RC or whatever.
I understand that having labels would make things a whole lot easier for the user BUT it also doesn't encourage the user to read about what he or she flashes onto their phone.
I don't know how many times I've seen a user complain and harass developers over something that was clearly their (the user) fault because they didn't read the OP. They saw fancy screenshots and saw the download link and either ended up bricking their phone or causing their phone to turn into a hot pocket...lol
Not trying to tell people how to do their job BUT I think we should encourage users to read/search more not shortcut things for users.

See I assumed this was common sense and ROMs that are missing a lot of these details, I don't give the time of day too so those ROMs don't matter to me. Because in my mind all the good ROM's out there already follow this in some way shape or form.
I appreciate what you did but I don't see why we need it is all.
As long as these are only guidelines and not enforceable rules, I agree with them. But I wouldn't agree with deleting/locking threads that fail to follow these guidelines; that would send the wrong message to developers.

Rom threads will never be locked or deleted for not following these guidelines. I would hope devs would embrace them and if a fellow dev isn't then I would hope someone would point them here and try to help them. Most rom devs want to have a nice looking op. But some of them are new and don't know better or are very young and don't know better. This just helps to give structure that they can refer to and say oh yeah maybe I should have that or this.

What?
UPDATE: Database 3.0 can now be found here
Someone asked me to create a thread here for my custom ROM comparison database, so that's what I'm doing here now.
A few words from my side so you know what to expect of it and clear things up.
This is the original text I posted on my blog, so I'll just put it up here as well.
At the end of last week, I asked on G+ what to do next, an app comparison or a new custom ROM review. On of the first answers that got my attention was someone asking for a custom ROM comparison instead. I thought about it for a while how this could works since I can’t show them off side by side and it would be difficult no matter what. While thinking along I also remembered one post on YouTube where a viewer gave me the constructive criticism on the videos getting too long, especially the part where I listed all the features in the video review. I told him I am aware of that fact but I still haven’t found the right solution to make the videos shorter without missing any important specs. After some more thinking the idea of the comparison database was born.
The idea behind the database
Creating a database that contains all the available features clearly visible and quickly to access for everybody was actually the hopefully right solution. Using it I don’t need to waste anymore time on rattling down the whole list in my video… this saves me a whole lot of time but of course also you. And if someone wants to know if a specific feature is available in the reviewed ROM he can just quickly check the database and look for it, it’s as easy as that. Of course this method also allows me to focus more on the important aspects of the ROM itself.
Creating the database itself took quite some time for sure but in the end I think this is the cleaner and smarter solution for everyone. I hope this to get a helpful tool for everyone to easily find the right ROM for himself that suites him the most.
I did 2 videos, one quickly explaining the purpose of the database itself and an additional one explaining some of the more important custom ROM features so that people who are maybe new to custom ROM flashing know what to look for. If you see any feature in my database and wanna know what it is for or what it does, leave me a comment. I will then either quickly explain it if possible or collect some of the requests and make another “features explained” video.
Here is the link for the database (it will also be attached to every upcoming custom ROM video as well as the matching article), it will be updated with every upcoming custom ROM video review. I am no professional in text editing, so if someone is maybe bored or wants to help me out in making a better and more professional appearing database to improve it, please contact me, I’d really appreciate it.

Features of the database
--------------------------------------------------
- detailed list of all possible custom ROM feaures (~100 at the moment, constantly growing)
- containing 13 of the most popular ROMs + stock Android ROM + Xposed Framework to compare with each other (list is still growing)
- a lot of useful additional informations like links to downloads, ROM's websites, G+ communities and much more
- everything is sorted logically and color coded for fast and easy comparison
- all features have a quick explanation, expecially helpful for custom ROM beginners
- a lot of maintainers to keep it updated as good as possible (12 maintainers at the moment) - always looking for more, feel free to join
- constantly working on improving and enhancing the database
here is the link to the database 2.0 - thx to @parker09
some additional videos to explain the whole thing again...
Please feel free to leave any comments.
I'm a real Google docs noob so if someone maybe wants to help me clean it up and polish the style, just contact me.
And if this thread is posted in the wrong section, please just let me know.
UPDATE new host
Updates
Update
I read the posts here and on the portal and wanna set some things straight.
I do the database including the reviews in my free time, but besides that I´m also blogging,doing app/device reviews, how to´s and similar stuff so time for the database is therefore limited. That´s the reason I can´t progress with the database as fast as I would like to, also my way of testing takes up a lot of time.
I will of course try to do it as frequently as possible and of course ROMs like AOKP and Omni will follow in time.
That´s it for that.
Regarding mistakes and such, I know the database isn´t flawless but I´m not doing errors on purpose. About missing features of certain ROMs, it is possible some ROMs now have features that weren´t available at my time reviewing it but it´s almost impossible for me to keep track of all changes since I use different ROMs all the time and can´t always go back to already reviewed ones.
Update 2
Big change, after all what I read, I finally decided to make the database open to edit for public. Everyone can add ROMs and changes as he wishes to. I only ask users to be resposible and keep everything clean. Feel free to make new entries or correct errors if found. I think this is the best way for the database to grow.
The 2nd change is the move to another design made by @parker09 that is way nicer and better in my opinion.
The old one will still stay but won´t be updated anymore I think. So don´t forget to change your current link to the new one.
BIG THX to everyone in advance who decides to particate on working on the database, I hope the new way is a win for everyone.
Update 3
Sorry to say but the open to public idea wasn't the best it seems since the database somehow got messed up a bit. I want to prevent this from happening that's why I have some rules now to hopefully keep things clean and right this time.
Everyone is still welcome to participate in maintaining the database but has to do following now in order to get permissions to edit.
This reason for the rules is so I can better keep track of what gets changed by who and I know which parts are getting updated and which not.
How to get permission to edit?
Please contact me via PM on xda with the following title...
maintain custom ROM database "your email adress" "your google name" (the name that will appear when editing the document)
- Please also write down your name and email again within the pm just to be sure
- Please tell me which ROM(s) you would like to maintain or what you plan to edit.
- Please tell me if it is ok to add you to hangouts, this would make the teamwork faster and easier
Rules for maintainers
can now be found directly in the database
I want this so I have a list of all the maintainer and know who does what, so things don't get mixed up like 2 people editing one rom at the same time getting each other between in their way. This gives me a better overview so I can track the changes.

SlimBean has Breathing SMS. I should know I ported it (its in MMS settings)

Maybe it didn't have it back when I reviewed it or I missed it. Will change it later. Thanks for the heads up
Can you add what you can do with stock+GravityBox? Then people can see which benefits they can get without flashing roms.
Hi nimrodity,
please make it available as a online tool for all ROM makers, so that they can update it as and when possible. and then there's no need you to update it.
Nice I did a column for Paranoid Android (as best I can - some features I don't know what they do) but did as best I could so if you want to copy & paste it.

On the second sheet I started one ages ago and that's the style I went with, and you hover over for what their options are.
Interesting, but what I would really love to see is developers from cross-ROM platforms joining hands
Lastest Carbon have got Paranoid PIE.
Small adjustments
You had a really great idea by doing this. I once search for something similar to this spredsheet and didn't find anything useful...till now!!
You did a wonderful job!
I just noticed 1 small thing and my other point is a suggestion:
1. In CM10.2 you have an option for the vibration intensity only, so maybe you could add to the "vibration" section: yes, but limited.
2. My suggestion would be to add another "spec" for the ROM. It would be "screen color/gamma calibration". It's a very interesting feature and CM10.2 (latest nightly) has it.
What do you think?
Thanks
Keep up the good work!:good:

I know but it didn't back then when I reviewed it. I can't always update the database especially with the old review build date. It would be too hard to keep track of all.
Thanks for Your work... Hope You will add more ROMs to this database and I hope other members will help You to get the info You need for awesome ROMs like:
Purity...
crdroid
XenonHD
Liquid Smooth
Vanir
Carbon
Illusion
beanstalk
Jellybam
... and more AOSPs
... ... ... ... OMNI
Purity, Vanir, Jellybam and XenonHD should be simple to track because devs keep the same MODs&features... little changes on every new build
More difficult to track other ROMs that add&remove features very often
I can't help You because I'm a Stockish man and I won't try AOSPs for now
Thanks for useful database, It will sure help me when I will going to flash new rom

Doesn't really make sense since it's all about custom Roms but I already thought about doing a separate review for the blog.
Not sure about your idea, will think about it though

As you can see by my simple list I don't know much higher about docs and I have no clue how to do such a tool. The idea sounds really cool if someone knows how to do that and wants to help out just contact me

Will check it later. If you see my YouTube channel you see my PA rant. I don't really have that much interest updating the database with PA since I'm not really a big fan of the to work. Nothing personal but I just can't get warm with their Rom
@nimrodity
Great work. Important factors when choosing rom could besides features be "RAM usage on clean install and no tweaks/installed apps" and benchmarks based on the same conditions.
But anyways, awesome work :thumbup:

Sorry I won't including benchmarks since they have nothing to say about performance in daily use. They are no important factor for me. Same for the rest, also I mention performance and such in my video reviews, don't plan on adding that stuff directly into the database though
On Cyanogenmod it says :
Volume Music Controls : music controls visible only but not with volume buttons.
You can control the music with the Volume buttons whilst being locked.
And if Poweroptions refer to the "menu" that shows when pressing the power button, you can en/disable airplane mode and select "Screenshot". And you can switch between Silent/Vibrate/Sound Profile.
Why no MIUI?
Great work! Just one little nag - why no mention of MIUI? It's distinct feature set should surely warrant a review, but that's just my opinion.

My database is far from being complete, I just started . I chose my Roms randomly until now. Miui is still possible to come
