[IDEA] Android ROM Developers Hub - General Topics

Hello dear ROM developers and users.
Currently I’m working on creation of a hub portal for android alternative ROMs.
Currently, most of ROMs are published on forums like xda or 4pda but they’re forums and are not designed to serve as developer community.
So I decided to create a hub designed specially for ROM development and sharing purposes.
The main inspiration for the project is GitHub.
The main goals are:
- Provide better issues reporting and collection (like on GitHub)
- Allow to rate the ROM
- Allow to search ROM by stability and etc.
- Simplify searching for ROMs for specific models
If you’re interested in this idea, please provide your feedback and share your ideas.
Thank you!

When you are smart enough to post an idea of creating a forum in a forum that does the same work.. ?

It's not a forum. It's more like ROM repository

[Completed] Can't post in Dev Forum

There are old threads of the same problem more than 2 years ago... So I decided to start a new one.
like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426261
I don't want to waste time arguing with some of the opinions in the thread above or about the rule, so back to the case, I agree that people like the OP in the thread above or me are rarely seen. So I'd like to ask here if some moderator could help approve me as a member.
I plan to post in dev forum initiating a project that changes the behavior of Android Media Service. Currently Android Media Service always tries to guess the text-encoding in media files, resulting many messed tags in the library. But in fact there are standards defining what text-encoding of tags should be used in what format.
Please see some details at my previous post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57188174&postcount=466
So this is the motivation of initiating the project. And I'm an experienced developer with Android framework/kernel development experience. I want people in xda help with the development because I think most users don't take part in AOSP (Android Issue tracker in googlecode, for example) but take part in xda discussion.
Here is the github link of the project:
https://github.com/yumeyao/android_platform_frameworks_av
and the issue:
https://github.com/yumeyao/android_platform_frameworks_av/issues/2
and the issue I reported to AOSP tracker on googlecode:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81428
Thanks for reading (so long) and thanks in advance for help
----EDIT----
Never mind I can post now
Good! ?

Forum Rules
12. Sharing
XDA-Developers is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge. This is the cornerstone of our site. Our members and developers freely share their experience, knowledge, and finished works with the rest of the community to promote growth within the developer community, and to encourage those still learning to become better. There are those, however, who take advantage of this model and try to make personal gains from the hard work of others.
In order to preserve the delicate balance between sharing for the good of the community and blatant self-promotion, regular members and developers alike must understand (and agree) to the following:
12.1. Give credits where due - Credits and acknowledgements for using and releasing work which is based on someone else's work are an absolute must. Works reported to have no credits will be taken down until proper acknowledgements are added by the member in question;
12.2. Courtesy - While most of the work released on our site falls under the umbrella of open source, that is not the only license model being used by developers on xda-developers. In order to prevent problems, we ask that if you decide to base your work on someone else's that you check the license model being used (as it might not be as permissive as one may think);
12.3. Re-releasing other's works as your own is forbidden. The code that you release into the wild must have something beyond minor aesthetic changes that makes it better than the last. As this can be subjective, kang reports will be reviewed on a case by case basis. If you feel that your code has been kanged, please contact the Dev Relations team (listed below) if you cannot solve the issue amicably via PM. Please understand that you will be asked to provide evidence to substantiate your claim;
12.4. Developers can issue take down requests (by contacting the Dev Relations team) under the following circumstances:
- in-process builds start showing up on forums when the developer is not yet ready to release the work;
- cases in which another developer is too aggressively soliciting donations or misrepresenting the work (kanging);
- unofficial builds where an official build is already available;
In summary, we want people to have access to work and knowledge alike. Sharing is good and courtesy and ethics go a long way.
Developers with questions, comments, complaints, or concerns about our rules (or anything!) should send a PM to our Dev Relations team (efrant or sykopompos) or to a Moderator. We are here to help!

Looking for UEFI devs with with experience on ARM64

Hey folks,
as you might know there is a project running to bring Windows 10 on ARM to the Lumia 950XL. Well - it works, but it does not work well.
And that's because we are missing a few important things by now:
PCIe initialization for the devices (e.g. the cellular, WiFi, GPU, the camera, etc.)
Some drivers (we already have GPU and WiFi drivers from Qualcomm)
We've got some drivers, but they are useless without the devices being initialized and thus recognised. Ben Imbusho has an Aarch64 UEFI in the making (already working) and it's based on edk2, so you are being provided with some documentation by Tianocore.
So, what we are looking for right now are developers for UEFI (experience/knowledge on the ARM64-architecture is definitely a good precondition ), who would like to build the phone that can replace your PC!
Caught your interest? - Reply in the thread below or PM me if you want to join our Telegram group!
Best regards
Yannik
PLEASE NOTE: I'm not involved in the developing process, but I'm part of the community testing it. Had to post the link in plain, as I'm a new forum member.
Unfortunately telegram invitations aren`t welcome anymore, those links are allowed only on the developer`s first page on a development thread as part of development, we would like to see a discussion here.
Thanks for understanding
Dan - forum moderator
