Section Guidelines -- READ THIS FIRST

[svetius]

The idea in this section is for developers (not only recognized developers, but all developers) to have a place for discussion threads to "talk shop." What kind of talk? Some topics (that I'm making up as I type this) might include (and are certainly not limited to):

• Overriding the power widget in the notification dropdown
• Considerations of using gcc versions other than 4.4.3 for compiling the kernel
• Snapdragon: discussion on working around the SOC wake from sleep delay

This isn't a Q&A forum. However, developers might kick off discussions with a question. The difference? This belongs in Q&A: "My phone wakes up slow, will it go faster if I take my sdcard out?" On the other hand, the following might belong in this new section: "Has anyone tried adjusting the mmc detection timeouts to see if there's an impact on the SOC wakeup delays?" The assumption here is that the person asking the latter question actually knows what a mmc detection timeout is, how they'd change it, and has started to play around with it before posting the question.

As well, this section is not for posting finished products or "advertising" of kernels, apps, etc. This section is to discuss the process, not for the end result.

The hope is that developers can discuss things here instead of resorting the various other methods of communication we've used. At the same time, newer developers and even non-developers can LEARN from the conversations and eventually participate.

This section will be very closely moderated by moderators who are also developers and non-development discussion will be harshly dealt with.

We REALLY hope this will encourage more devs to spend time with open communication. This is XDA-Developers. Let's do development.
