I think their is a great need to have a sticky made as a directory for information regarding the how to's and don't do's of Rom building, development, and troubleshooting :silly:. It would be really nice to clean up the forums with guides on common errors and the like so we don't have so many open posts of "hey, its not working". :highfive:

I really don't think people, especially beginners, know that these things exist. I think if we had these sources all in one spot we may even have more well built roms for our phones. More like a directory of sorts than self made tutorials.

How to create swap partition in explorer? :confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
With recovery, or with partition wizard, but I don't think swap is usefull for explorer.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] psycoder:
There's no need to create swap partition on our pico/explorer, just go to your recovery a.k.a. CWM/TWRP and format the sd card by selecting appropriate sd-ext size as needed and then keep the swap partition as 0M... simple.

Or you can use mini tool partition wizard to do that too. there are tons of tutorials present on XDA just search for them.,

I have a stock rom rooted GT P5113 running 4.0.4. I am getting ready to go on vacation and want to load some of my movies on it for the 4 hour plane ride. I am having trouble getting videos to load. Most of my movies are M4V and I know it wont play those. I do have some that are .mp4 format, so i tried loading one of those on my external sd card. my card is the sandisk sdxc64GB class 10 formatted fat32 and its recognized by both the tab and my laptop when i plug my tab in.

When I try to load one of my .mp4 movies it gets about 99% done and says that the format is not supported and it gives me 2 options to skip the file or cancel the install... WTF is going on here? I only have a week to sort this out. I HATE THIS ITUNES BS. why are they allowed to format the movies that I buy in their proprietary format with their proprietary DRM so i can only load MY movies and shows on a Crapple device? This is why I got rid of ALL of my Apple devices. They need to be rained in some.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelsonoski1972:
Check the size of that mp4 file.

If it is more than 4 GB then it cannot be transferred to that card since it is formatted in fat32.

Te issue wasnt playing the M4V videos... i didnt know if it would or not, i couldnt even get them on the tab... kept giving me an error and canceling the transfer.

UPDATE: I have this issue resolved, KIND OF.

I still cant add the videos with the usb cable from my computer, but i did get a M4V video on the sdxc card by unmounting and removing it from the tab, putting it into my laptop, transferring a movie and putting the card back in the tab and mounting it. I did use MX payer and it does in fact play M4V videos just fine.

hoep this helps someone else that is having this issue.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CondemnedSoul:
There is an explanation from the mods... The very last post in the thread... "Failure to comply with GPL requirements" .... There has to be a link to kernel source in the op. Quite honestly though, the mods don't have to explain themselves or justify their actions to anyone. They are here to enforce the rules, not explain them over and over when these rules are posted everywhere you turn.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khamsakamal48:
Are you seriously a MODERATOR!!!

Well....my thread was closed with statement: "thread closed until OP PM me back with the PM i sent him a few days ago and becomes compliant!"!!

So, this new moderator (Papa Smurf151) which came from nowhere who likes to close threads both in development & general section...should have read his inbox actually when he messaged me & I replied him back on the very same day!

So, what I understand now is that he closes threads in Development section in the name of "GPL Compliance" which I agree too...but why are those threads being closed (by Papa Smurf151 particularly) which asks why are most of the threads being closed.?? I mean are they closed for the DMWM (Don't Mess With the Moderators) compliance!!!!!

& shouldn't you check your Inbox before closing someone's thread....or atleast reply to him about what shall be done!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CondemnedSoul:
They didn't come from nowhere. I would say its possible he didn't receive your pm? I know things like that have happened before and when I was pm'd I fixed my op that I missed things in and pm'd him back and he responded right away.

^^just a couple references where they came from.

If you want your thread re-opened, simply put a link to the source your kernel uses (aeroevans git if you're using his kernel, for example) .. then pm the mod stating your thread is updated, include a link to your thread in your pm so he can easily verify it and the thread will be unlocked.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NeverSeparate:
Cmon man, aren't you reading what CS has said? Just a link to source. If they include it to start with it would not be an issue. And if they forgot, it isn't so big a deal when you consider the work that goes into making a ROM work. If they are willing to spend hours of work and time reading and responding and fixing bugs, do you really think a few minutes to update their op and pm a moderator is such a big task?

Sent from my Incredibly Indecisive Dinc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillibl:
If the Dinc2 is not their DD and they were just doing it out of the kindness of their hearts (supporting a 2 year old device) then yes I could see that as being too much of a hassle.

Most of those threads were open for months without any trouble then all of the sudden the mods decided to crack down on an old obscure device because of GPL.

Also I believe GPL just requires source to be available and anyone smart enough to root and flash their device can find Aeroevan's source code.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NeverSeparate:
If they were taking the time to still support the rom then I don't think it would be much trouble. They all do it out of the kindness or their heart as you put it. They don't get paid. They just enjoy it. If its an issue fine. But if they still enjoy deving this phone this won't stop them. CS is a developer as well as chilly, and they both did what needed to be done.

No!! He confirmed it that he hadn't read my PM & unlocked it before/without reading my PM!! But how can I link the kernel source if the ROM is simply & totally based on stock??

Yeah..I understand it just takes 5 sec to post a link to the kernel source...& 10 sec maybe to post if it's based on Stock OTA link!!! But what if it's based on a ICS leak??:silly: as we haven't received any ICS OTA (so no chance of providing a link to the OTA) & this is what I asked him when he messaged me first!!!

I totally agree with your statement sir!!:angel:

Yup. Just got my Incredible 4G LTE. Taking the DINC2 back to stock and leaving it for a backup phone. It seems like with the amount of thread closings that the Devs are going to be forced to leave this one for dead. Watching how this developed, PapaSmurf seems to me like a Mod on a power trip. We have all seen those types on boards before, and the unfortunate thing is that they stifle the free exchange of ideas and speech to feed their own egos. Over and out....on to 4G.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xHausx:
There's a good reason why our policy is to avoid discussing details regarding other members. Quite frankly, it's no ones business. If they decide to talk about it that's their prerogative, but generally most parties involved will handle things privately as it should be.

It's also impossible for us to actively monitor every single thread, so we rely on members to help flag potential problem posts for us to review. When you report a thread it helps us keep track of areas that need to be closely monitored and it ensure that we will look into it.

With that in mind, PapaSmurf was just doing what you guys asked us to. Many of you were concerned that our GPL policy was not being enforced fairly so we went through and reviewed any other threads that got flagged for it.

It's as they say, if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. This is first and foremost a development forum and not a tech support place or custom ROM store.

The link in my signature should say it all: What is XDA-Devs?

@khamsakamal48 I apologize if you're thread was closed in error. It's easy for PMs to slip through the cracks so it's possible he just never saw it. If there's anything that still needs resolved please try resending your PM.

Depending on the issue, watching the logcats for errors is a good way to figure out where the issue is coming from. Many devices also share a lot of the same components and code, so looking for similar issues on other devices can often lead to a fix.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
I think what Jizzylax is wondering is, can you remove the links in the op but keep the thread open so that those of us who still use the rom can actively assist each other in overcoming issues?

There's already one in the general section. CM is open source though so anyone is free to continue developing it if they wish.

The thread will not be reopened unless the OP requests it be.

If your intention is to continue developing the ROM then its ok in the development fora, but otherwise it doesn't belong there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Grouper:
Actually, to be compliant with GPLv2 all the ROM distributors need to simply "Accompany it with the information [they] received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code." not only offer source they they're hosting (not linking to other's source, even if it hasn't been modified), but they're also required to provide the source on physical media. So you should be able to download the source from the person who is distributing the ROM and buy a CD with the source on it from the actual ROM distributor, not some other person.

There's also the matter of people being allowed to distribute stock-based ROMs without the kernel source, this is also a GPL violation if there is no offer within the ROM for the kernel source. The source is available from HTC and the ROM distributor should be providing the offer, source modified or not, at least according to the GPLv2 license. Are developers allowed to distribute stock ROMs which didn't include the source offer to begin with (violation), or will they need to start including source links?

EDIT: Strike-through incorrect text. I was incorrect in stating physical media and source needed to be provided by the ROM distributor. This is only the case for commercial software. The distribution rules from GPLv2, which the kernel is licensed under, are quoted below.

EDIT AGAIN: It appears that if the stock software did not include a source offer you are not allowed to redistribute them as per the rules under subsection c. "only if you received the program in object code or executable form

with such an offer

"

Anyone else care to join in the discussion? Am I misinterpreting anything?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xHausx:
XDA-Developer's GPL Policy can be found at the link below. This is something that's under nearly constant discussion internally as well as in the Recognized Developer chat.

It's the product of many years of experience with trying to be fair while enforcing the GPL in a way that is sustainable for us. We wish htc would be willing to abide by their obligations with the gpl but that is out of our hands.

If you need more details please refer to the links below and feel free to ask in the About XDA thread as it deals with site wide policy.

[Nexus 10 General] Osutin:
I am hoping that this is a simple/quick question. Since like 2 days after it became available, it has been constantly sold out. It is quite annoying. I was wondering if anyone knows what is going on with the availability of the Canadian Nexus 10, and if it really isn't available, or if there is a possibility that it actually is available, and a cookie, or something on my computer, makes it displayed as sold out? Thanks in advance!

Note, I wasn't sure whether or not I should put this into Q&A, or General. So, I stuck it in General. If this is wrong, please tell me for future reference.
