*****************************************​Dear XDA members
There's a "help thread" for each flagship and the Nexus 5 has been unveiled yesterday!
If you are starting on XDA please read this: XDA New User Guide
Need help? Give detailed information: ROM (version), kernel (version), mods... you are currently using. These information are very useful to be able to help you. Cheers.
And don't forget this: NO Best ROM/Kernel threads
If you want to answer (even for a point of view) please answer gently and/or point in the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself.
In Post 2 you'll find a few links that can be useful for general stuff.
Ask any question here: adb, fastboot, bootloader, specific apps, hardware, drivers...
When you try to get an answer, try to describe your situation as detailed as you can, at least what ROM and kernel you are using.

This is to be used to point people in the right direction.
Example:
Q: How can i unlock my Nexus 5?
A: Go post no2, link 7
No spoonfeeding, user pointed in the right direction, don't forget to thank useful answers. :good:

Perfect. Now let's wait for people to not read the stuff in post #2.

I guess I'll be the one to get the questions started then
This may actually be better suited to it's own thread if this branches off into more of a discussion.
Even though this question is more related to 4.4 than the N5, it's still relevant so here goes...
Since the announcement of 4.4 and the N5, I've been reading most of the articles posted. Over the last couple of days I've read that the native screen recording capabilities are somewhat limited as of right now, as the device still needs to be hooked up to a computer and can only record 3 minutes of content.
What's the likelihood of this either being improved via a future update OR a developer improving it to include more realistic usage and what kind of things would need to be done to include such changes?

Since its just an adb command, I would think that you could run it using a terminal emulator on the phone. I haven't actually tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

wtf...MODS PLEASE....
welll... im using the hasson 2 kit. for some odd reason, it will not download the unlock code to my phone. ive tried everything. i drag and drop to the data file... it shows the file in data but it want do anything. im also using winrar. how can i get that file recognized?
damn... that was close! i tried to root without the bootloader unlock code. phone locked up with a red triangle and exclamation mark in the center. i just held power/volume down and it rebooted. i guess the one x i have is not the international version. so... i guess sasson 2 tool kit will not work. any suggestions? i just want jellybean... easy root.
"Bricked my one x" thread coming soon...
First of all this is supposed to be here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1572
Second, watch this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FML0Y2ovZ_Q
Third, there isn't a stock jellybean rom for the AT&T Evita HTC One X. If you want a stock feel I suggest Cyanogenmod 10 which can be found here.
Fourth, searching would do you a LOT of good. I'm a newb to all of this too but read before you ask...
EDIT: Also the smug replies aren't really necessary. I get that you guys see tons of people like this but don't act like it's intolerable. Help the guy out by throwing a few links his way, it took me 2 minutes. You don't have 2 minutes to spare? I'm not sure why you're on here then lol

As RD voetbalremco suggested, it would be great to have MTK sub-device like MT6573, MT6515, MT6575, MT6517, MT6577, MT6589 and a general "MT65xx" development section to post anything that works on all the mediatek devices will be best instead as of now...
That would be great all in one place

I agree too @yuweng we could really do with some experienced forum administrators to give us some advice on what would be the best way to structure things so people can easily get to where they want to be.
Maybe we could get some examples or recommendations of the structure and content of the perfect forum layout.
Great idea!
While we organize things, it would be nice to have a first post with a few resources. Maybe two three sections, something like General info (links to mtk platforms specs, links to official manufacturers sites, etc), Modding (general root for mtk devices, mtk droid tools, how to build a cwm for a new device, etc.), ROMs (LeWa, plain Android modded ROMs, etc.).
I have a few links bookmarked, send me a PM or better email and we'll try to sort them out so you can post them, if it makes sense ofc.
BTW have you heard the news that Xiaomi will apparently released a MIUI official version for a few MMT6589 devices in the next few days? Fantastic news!
Guys we do phone forums not chooser forums. All you have to do is show active development for a device with recoveries, roms, unlocks, ect. Then request the "device" gets a forum. If the admins think the device deserves a forum it will get one. As you see no other chip got it's own forum. And as for Xiomai I would not get too excited as none of their devices will get a forum here.

For example
MMX canvas HD a116 is a mt6589 device and was released march onwards.
Got more publicity as well as development.
Got many ROMs, mods, apps etc
They requested a forum and they got it.
So those devices which got more devs and mods will surely get sub forum for their device

I'll be honest that device slipped threw the crack. As the OEM doesnt release the kernel source it violates the GPL and in doing so breaks our rules. That was the reason for the portal post calling them out about it. You are right though. The more development a device gets the better it's chances are.

Thanks for the input @zelendel and thanks for calling me a liar on @michfood CPU Governor Switch thread. I asked people not to post forum stuff on michfood's thread but post here instead because it is not fair on michfood.
I will edit my post there and request you delete yours and move it to here out of respect to michfood. :good:

Good Info / Thread Rules
Please dont ask for a Change Log. You can find the AOSP commits with comments HERE!
Please dont ask if you need Gapps. Its a google stock ROM!
Please dont ask if you need the bootloader. Either flash it or dont.
Please dont ask if you can dirty flash. You can do what you want. Make a nandroid BEFORE you flash, if it doesnt work out then just restore your nandroid and re-plot your method of flashing.
Please dont post anything other than this ROM specific related questions. This is not a general topic thread about KitKat. Its here to help users install the ROM and ask questions about ROM usage. Its not here to ask questions about other ROM's, getting OTA's or what you think Recovery is capable of. Go to General with that stuff.
Please do NOT post mirrors of my work! I understand you want to help but the only person authorized to mirror my work is me.
Thanks to the following people that make what I do possible
DSI-XDA (Kitchen tools)
Chainfire (Root)
JesusFreke (smali tools for de-odexing)
Everyone who donates, says positive things and over encourages me to make ROMZ!
My Wife (for not feaking out when I go a day without sleep so I can make ROMZ. Unlike most wifes, she gets it!)

Right. Its pure stock Google. No mods. Just like if you were to walk into a store right now and buy it and take the update. Well, it does have Root and BusyBox but thats not really mods to me.

You got that right!
I know you are going to add the mods to this update, mainly the custom re boot menu
Thank you for keeping this rom on point..
Would you advise to update the bootloader to the new one?
Can't download bootloader file not found 404.

If Google saw it fit to compile new bootloader for the ROM I would flash it. I did flash it

Sorry for what may be a silly question but I just want to make sure about boot loader, is their going to be an easy way to revert to older but loader if we want to?
I only ask because on my Asus transformer prime I flashed the newest bootloader and most of the development of new roms are on old bootloader and I have no way of going back because I didn't back up my NV flash file first.

Oh, no. This is nothing like the TF Prime.
This is really open. You should be able to flash back. And, unlike the TF Prime, The nexus 7 ROMS ALWAYS stay up to date.

Please feel free to share issues, questions and offer help
It is always best to thank a ROM OP, in lieu of simply posting "Thank you".
Please keep discussion focused, on the topic described in the OP
Dear followers of this ROM,
in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.
This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development
The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.
The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."
This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I download and install this ROM
5. Questions about ETA, etc

If you've ever seen an aosp ROM, it looks like that. I'll never understand people asking for screenshots, all aosp ROMs essentially look the same.

Very smooth and extremely responsive. Takes a very light touch.

First off. Thanks for this ROM. Its awesome. My favourite KK ROM yet.
My only problem is with MMS. Specifically, receiving MMS.
At first I thought it was my phone, but I installed 2 other ROMs and they both can receive MMS straight out of the box.
I have manually added my APN as instructed by my carrier, but still nothing.
I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Oh, cool. I didn't see anything in the ROMs thread so thought it must be my side.
I'll watch the ROMs thread for updates, coz I wanna get back to this ROM asap but need MMS capability.
*edit* - I tried using Textra and ChompSMS. So the notes I just re-read don't apply.
