[REQUEST] [POLL] An Idea for an Amendment

[Negi9]

Hey Guys,
As the ROM's are flying in from everywhere (which is a good thing) the Developer Sub-Forum seems to be overcluttered with ROMs. To overcome this issue, there can be two Sub-Forums like in the Samsung Galaxy S2 Forums i.e:

• Optimus One, P500 Android Development
• Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development

So, the cool, uber-themed ROM's can reside in the P500 Android Development, while the Original ROM's such as CyanogenMod 7/9 , AOSP, Oxygen, Phoenix Etc. can be categorized in the P500 Original Android Development.

I don't actually know how to report this to the moderators (Im a noob ) but anyone that can, is most welcomed to do so.

Thanks,
Negi9

I like this idea a lot and think that it should be done.

Currently the Theme and Apps Section serves for Themed ROMs, unfortunately some people think their ROMs are so...

+1,
I was thinking of this too, but was not able to actually come to a conclusion...
There are way toooooo many binary enhanced ROMS and they need a special place... coz of those ROMS, the real development gets kinda hidden under..
I personally dont like such ROMS but many people do... so they deserve their own place...
Division will be a great thing...
Mods, look into this n please dont just lock down this thread after some days...

I agree
Make a poll for all who agree with you

 

[cure25]

Yup,even I was thinking so
Development section is so messy at the moment

I agree, I do like new things but there are to many themed roms with many scripts thrown in that exist in other roms. A way to clean up the thread is to do what was suggested in first post...unfortunately you have a few indivuals who think modifying the framework,adding a new theme and 50 scripts makes those roms something new to our devices. Wish I had a damn computer capable of actually building from source..I'd definitely be helping lupohirp or arjen with cm9/ICS..if there's an actual developer here who can fix camera exposures on nightlies than I'd definitely enjoy that

To add to what I said it would be nice if the the entire thread was revamped and shows thread based on subject..ie games,apps,mods,kernels based on either 35 or 32,maybe threads based on different scripts. A thread specifically for rom changelogs and discussion threads for original android roms and themed roms. I truly believe that any rom is a product of development .You just have actual roms based from source and some based from official noghtlies

I think users need a guideline to where there roms go. This is what I think:
a) All roms built from source or from scratch truly belong in the development section.
b) All roms that are themed or based off of another rom (including binary ports) belong in another section (for now all we have is the themes and apps section, so that is where they should go).

I will use an analogy to explain why I think binary ports should not be mixed in with roms under a):
Binary ports are just like books with a cover from another book. It looks totally different on the outside, but it is pretty much the same thing on the inside (this may not be the best analogy, but you get the idea).

Although the effort is appreciated, it is sad to see people thinking that adding scripts and themes to a rom makes it totally developed from scratch (what's worse is that they claim it is faster without showing any evidence or proof). At least know where you are supposed to post.

Well, you cant say all binary ports are like that...
Take for example the sense port... its truly a complicated port... it consists editing of libs n stuff...
While all those Chinese ROMS are nothing but copy-paste of frameworks from original ROM to our nightlies...
That makes them so bugless...
There should be another section for such ports like those chinese/MIUIv4 ROMS, while complicated ports stay in dev thread along with source compiled roms...

At the Moment, Here are Truely developed ROMS:
1. CM9
2. Oxygen
3. CM7
4. Sense port
5. OMGB/OMFGB by Bytecode
6. mik_os's CM7
7. void #forever
8. CyanogenMMatt
9. Code Name Android
10. Phoenix ROM
11. AOSP Gingerbread
12. Bytecode's CM6
13. Arjens Eclair port

(I guess i forgot some?)

These deserve to be in Development thread!

I actually haven't read all those themed rom's threads, so it's annoying for me, that the real development threads are invisible :>
