Post any questions, suggestions.
Wow, you just took gamers work without credit to him.
This kind of modules is also not allowed on xda.
yeah, I have a question:
why do you steal other peoples work & (obviously) claim it as your own?
lame, VERY lame////
Must be why he created a user name with Dopey in it
Report the user and this thread. This kind of stuff does not belong here and I do not appreciate the implied claim of ownership.

New Forum Rule Nr. 12 have been added!!!
Im very happy to see it...as it was my idea to add it...To protect The Artists...and give them some rights for their work!
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used.
If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
Blatantly copying the work of another Member and implying it is yours will result in the work being removed and your member account disabled.
Nothing more than just!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is the way it should be.

Couldn't agree more.
I agree!
Folks,
Just wanted to clarify XDA-Developers' rules regarding the use of others' work in your own projects. Since we've had a number of problems in the Skyrocket fora related to this issue, I will restate the rules here and offer some guidance.
XDA Rule #12If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.A few clarifications, tips, and explanations:
Recognize that all non-source ROMs are based off of Samsung's original development work. Since these ROMs use the same base, they inevitably feel similar.
Any ROM release must offer something unique or different than previous ROMs. One cannot navigate to the thread for an already-built ROM, look at the feature list, implement it into a stock build, throw a theme on it, and release it. Themes do not qualify a ROM as a separate release. If you wish to copy a ROM and theme it, please release a theme in the "Themes & Apps" forum. Please do not copy a ROM, add one feature and a theme, then release it.
All ROM developers must ask permission from other developers if any work is copied. Ask permission via the XDA private messaging system. If the developer does not respond or refuses permission, you may not use his/her work.
Alternatively, developers can post a written license for usage of their work. If you want to share your code, then more power to you. XDA is all about open source community development.
All developers who suspect copying violations without permission should please report the issue via private message to jayharper08, D.O.C, or kennethpenn.
Users should not post messages like "this is a copy of _____'s work" in threads that contain copied work. Instead, report the post or private message a moderator (above) and the matter will be handled appropriately.
To help keep this forum section tidy and easy to use, here are some rules and guidelines.
Only the following topics are allowed in the DEVELOPMENT area:
[DEV] - Development for any projects or Apps.
[ROM] - Custom ROMs.
[KERNEL] - Custom Kernels.
[MOD] - Hack & Modifications for the phone. (See below for more details)
[FIX] - Fixes for known issues & bugs.
[R&D] - Research & Development for Devs only, when gathering data for a new projects.
Note: If you are unsure where your new topic should go, then please post it in General.
For more information on the Original Android Development section check out this portal post
All kinds of Best Rom/Kernel/etc threads are unwelcome, read, research and make your own mind up, as the question is very subjective.
Please Include Screen Shots for ROM / MOD / THEME / Apps & Games, when possible as it's expected by our members.
[MOD]'s that are primarily theming related or simply adjust stock application or framework functionality or behavior belong in the themes and apps section rather than the development section.
Unmodified Stock ROM and Source Codes does not count as a DEVELOPMENT project unless it's part of an active project you have already started, and so should be posted in the general section.
Placeholder threads posted in the development section will be removed or moved.
Howto's and Guides should be posted in the general section.
Password must be provided for all password protected files.
Direct download links preferred, due to stipulations stated in forum rule #11
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)

Please keep all non Development relevant chatter out of development threads, It is recommended to make a separate thread in the Q&A section for non Development related comments and questions, valid replies within a development thread are: BUG Reports, Problem, Troubleshooting Steps & Logs.
... and Please! keep all your personal bickering via PMs, do not pollute the forum with your personal indifferences.
If you have a problem with a specific member please contact the Moderators for help, that's what we're here for, but we are not babysitters, we are here to gather, organize and provide useful information for our over priced phones
...for additional details please read the full Forum & Marketplace Rules
Thank you for your cooperation.
Thank you to AllGamer and veyka for the basis of this post
Rom OP Format ...DEVS READ PLEASE
ROM OP
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Thank you to Papa Smurf151 for the basis of this post.
Hello and Welcome to the Forums.
Due to the recent Moderator restructuring, the Moderators assigned to your Device forums are;
Senior Moderator
Zelendel
Forum Moderators
GODZSON
Shreyas Jani

Rules of Behavior (Just to be clear)
1. Posting in the Development Forum. Creating new threads in the Dev Forum is restricted to development work. Roms, Hacks, Roots, etc. This IS NOT a place to ask questions. There is a Q&A Forum for that.
Exception: If you have a problem with a specific Custom Rom, Hack, Root, etc, then you may post it in the related thread where it originated from. Example; you installed a custom rom from the Dev Forum, and it has issues rom related. You may post your issue in the ROM THREAD ONLY. Do NOT create a new thread.
2. Arguments and Flaming. We shouldn't have to go over this, but it seems some people love to participate in such behavior. Calling a user a "n00b" is not tolerated, and such posts will be deleted, and the poster warned/infracted/banned. Giving a user a hard time because their english is bad, is also not tolerated. XDA is not a Grammar School.
If an argument starts, DO NOT participate in it. You have a "Report Post" button. Use it. Let the Mod's take care of it. You are not moderators, so please don't act like it.
3. RD's, RT's, RC's. As given such title, you are expected to behave in a manner reflecting the best of XDA. Participating in arguments is not what is expected. You also have an "RP" button. Use it. This also applies to Senior Users who have been around.
4. Arguing with a Moderator is pointless, and as such, can result in warnings/infractions/ban. So don't go that route. If you feel a Moderator is out of line, or made a mistake, you may argue your point via PM. Publicly posting is not a good way to go.
We are all here to help the users, and to mainly help continue the development of the devices. This is a Development site, not Facebook or other social networking sites.
If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to contact us via PM. You will find the moderator links at the top of each main forum.
Thank You.
Some DO's and DONT's in Android Development Thread :
1. Do not spam or Flame
If you wish to advertise a Product/ROM/app/Theme, contact XDA. But do not post it in the development forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive
a ban. Also DO NOT flame on others. It will get you nowhere except getting banned.
2. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or
describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained. This is a site of developers, i.e; the
sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.
3. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to
the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private
message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing
all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share
it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (i.e; allowing certain people
to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to
use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be
revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or
under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
4. Keep posts/threads on-topic
The general rule for posting in threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
General Forums - For news and announcements pertaining to your device.
Q&A Forums - For all question threads / posts. If there is no Q&A forum use the device General Forum
Accessories subforum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the phone model
Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title)- For developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs, Kernels, and mods.
Themes and Apps Forums - For themers to post themes and for app announcements and discussions.
