Subject: Seeking Android Development Guidance for Beginners.
Dear Developers of the XDA Forum,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request your assistance in fostering an interest in Android development among newcomers, particularly in the area of creating custom ROMs and contributing to them. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you have the power to inspire a new generation of developers, even those as young as five years old.
As the XDA community comprises skilled individuals who have excelled in the field of Android development, your guidance can have a significant impact on aspiring beginners. Your valuable contributions, in the form of tutorials, advice, and shared experiences, can serve as stepping stones for them to enter this exciting realm.
I understand that time is precious, and your expertise is highly sought after. Therefore, I kindly ask for your assistance in simplifying complex concepts, breaking them down to a level that even a young beginner can understand. Your patient explanations and step-by-step guidance will be invaluable in instilling confidence and nurturing their passion for Android development.
Remember, your contribution has the potential to create a lasting impression on a young mind, shaping their future career choices and opening up doors of opportunity. By sharing your knowledge on the XDA Forum, you can truly make a difference in the lives of these aspiring developers.
Thank you for considering my request. Your generosity and support will be greatly appreciated by myself, as well as countless beginners who dream of embarking on an Android development journey.
Warm regards,
Note: Questions go in Q&A Forum
If you are posting a Question Thread post it in the Q&A forum. Technical discussion of Android development and hacking. No noobs, please. Device-specific releases should go under the appropriate device forum...

The purpose of Chef Central is to provide a learning environment for XDA users that truly want to learn the craft of ROM development. It is monitored and moderated by skilled developers that you know from our community. These developers are willing to generously give of their time to help teach the eager learners among you.
Please use this forum by posting questions. As with posting anywhere on XDA, please search before you post to make sure that your topic of question hasn't been covered in the past.
As quoted by Svetius
Chef Central
Back in March when joining XDA, I asked a few questions in the developer's forum out of sincere desire to learn some things.
A moderator quickly directed me towards the appropriate areas to do my own homework. It was also conveyed in understandable terms that comportment was expected in the developer's forum.
For those who may not know what "comportment" means, it pertains to keeping conduct within the scope of where you're at. In order words, keep topics in the development forum focused on development.
Have those sheriffs been on holiday?
You moderators did me a great favor by steering me in the direction where I could do my own homework, dig out the essentials, learn how to work with Android ROMs and avoid dumb mistakes (much less, whine after a dirty flash *lol*).
Smack posts in the developer forum will do nothing but run off (or run underground) some incredible developers. That will only lessen the benefits of delivery to us as users. These developers who give free time and work do NOT have time to waste sifting through a pile of developer forum bologna to find any meat of substance that can benefit their efforts ... and us.
Note: This is NOT being posted in the developer's forum. This is not a solicited post. This is a post of gratitude and respect for this site.
Posting an issue in the developer's forum without taking the time to read through (or use the search tool, which is faster) and see whether that issue has already been posted numerous times, comes across as laziness. And by not reading through, much can be missed that may already contribute to that issue.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him think.
But you can give him a KitKat.
Thanks.

Hello!
First off, allow me to welcome both new and existing members to the Forums. These look to be exciting products, and I am really hoping to see a great community spring up here. As we like to do with a new forum, we like to introduce ourselves. Of course, as noted, the moderating team assigned to the forum include:
Team Leader/Senior Moderator @Moscow Desire
Forum Moderators @Siberian Tiger, @chrisd1a1, @Divine_Madcat @zacthespack
Personally, i am an avid tablet user, and am currently using both an HP Touchpad and Nexus 7 (2013), as well as a Samsung S4. Please make no mistake, while we all may not be owners of this specific device, it is our goal to be a strong part of the community, and i hope you will allow us this opportunity. I, like the other moderators, have an open door policy, and i welcome anyone to contact myself (or other staff members) to contact us if you have any concerns or questions about the forums (but please direct device specific questions to the Q&A forum).
With that said, i would like to take a moment to reiterate the overall guidelines of the forum, in the hope to prevent issues down the line...
1. Posting in the Development Forum. Creating new threads in the Dev Forum is restricted to development work; this may include Kernels, Root tools, ROMS, and other device developments. If you have a question about a ROM or the device, please post in the Q&A forum, so that the question may be answered correctly.
2. Arguments and Flaming.This really speaks for itself, but bears saying again. Be respectful, and be a community; work together and make this a place that is welcoming to everyone, new and old. 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. You don't make anything better by participating, and you may find yourself in trouble as well.
3. Please take a moment to search before posting; forums for popular devices can get hectic, and it is only made worse by having 5 different threads on the same topic. While mistakes happen, we need everyone's help to make sure that the boards are readable and usable for everyone. Odds are, if you have a problem, you are not the first person to have had the issue; you may very well find the solution already discussed. If a thread covering your topic is already there, please keep the discussion in that thread.
4. 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. While some off topic banter is to be expected, please keep off topic conversations in the appropriate area; this is especially true for development threads. Too much OT makes threads hard to use for people with real issues/suggestions/questions

Hi all, I would like to ask community members to take part in a short survey designed to understand the dynamics of innovation collaboration processes between user communities such XDA Developers and device manufacturers.
In particular looking at assessing the degree to which external innovation communities contribute to the internal innovation output of Android smartphone and tablet device hardware and software manufacturers.
What is the best way to go about doing this?
Posting in the general forum or in specific device sub forums?
I would love to get as many respondents as possible so perhaps someone could point me in the direction of an official news author?
Any help much appreciated!

Greetings,
Please be sure to read the sticky threads for XDA Assist. This is not a help desk. Our purpose here is to assist new members in finding their way around XDA. We provide a link to the best forum or a thread already in existence for the issues at hand. Senior members are expected to know how to use search and find the best location for their questions. That being said, your thread would be best suited in the General section of XDA.
Thanks for understanding.
