Please do not create new Android "L" threads. Until the release is official, we are using the dedicated sticky only.

I tried creating a thread for this if you search for threads created by me. It got locked because apparently letting everyone search through thousands of L posts for the important information they need is a better option

Well until L is final, we use the stickies. L is subject to change and all these threads become irrelevant so follow what the forum admins want.
Searching a single thread is no different to searching a forum. Search works just as well in both scenarios. So there really is no need to flood everyone else with the repeated same L questions

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:

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.

Upgrading to windows 8 from release preview

I installed the release preview Windows 8 over windows 7. With that will I have to buy the full version of Windows 8 Pro or will I be able to buy the $40 upgrade? If I revert back to windows 7 I'd have to do a full wipe and I don't want to do that.
Is it bad form to bump for an answer here?

Yes - very bad form.
Firstly it's contrary to the rules of XDA.
Secondly XDA is a Mobile Phone development site, not a Micro****e support site.
Thirdly, if you really can't use Google or find a more appropriate forum for your questions then at least stick it in the right thread in Off-Topic.

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

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.

The answer to your problem has been discussed hundreds of times in every single Sense 5 ROM thread, plus there are multiple threads dedicated to it in our q&a section. Please search before posting next time instead of cluttering up our forum with yet another pointless thread.
