*Under Construction, see link at bottom of post to contribute*

The following is a work in progress, and will eventually be much more extensive. I just want to give a taste of what is to come and hopefully spur feedback.  If you have any ideas whatsoever, please add them to the Google Doc (link below).

Hey all,
I wanted to create a little resource here for devs and testers to hopefully streamline the testing process and identify problems. With any luck, this will lead to more stable releases. This should essentially read as a checklist and it will evolve with your feedback. If it helps, I will try to include links to common "fixes" relating to issues that will help this serve as a one stop shop for bugsquashing. Naturally, try everything you can on first boot and again after rebooting.

 

The intention of this thread is to have a list of "Yeah wifi works, BT is borked though" type things that can go wrong.  General use can shake up a lot of bugs, sure, but it helps when the process is regimented to help devs and testers alike think of everything.  I really wish this to be as comprehensive as possible, but keep in mind that it should apply to all ROMs.  If a feature is version (i.e. 4.1.2 or 4.2.2) specific, please specify (i.e. mount system on 4.1.2).  Devs *should* know any additional features they have added and provide them to their testers to be tested on an individual basis.

sounds like a good idea, if i understand this lol

Just wondering if you can clarify the intent here a little.  I've read it a few times and come up with a different possibility each time.

Thanks guys,

To further elaborate my reasoning, I originally wanted to compile a list of everything that can go wrong (BT, WiFi, etc). I want it to cover obscure things too that I'm not even sure are an issue with the HD just in case (such as mute during calls, which has been an issue with droid x ICS ROMs). Additionally, I'd like to provide resources for devs to find fixes for common snafus.

Hicks, I agree that many devs probably have their own routine, but I still think its good to have a solid listing of everything that can go wrong in a typical build. The primary beneficiaries will probably be first time builders such as myself (hopefully by summers end anyways) who likely feel a bit overwhelmed trying to account for everything on their own. That said, I'm sure even experienced builders will appreciate some of the more obscure problems that may crop up.

Am I under some illusion that this will solve all the problems? Hell no, I still think user error/shortcutting leads to 95% of problems with a "stable" build, I'm just hoping this will help devs develop more rapidly.

Lastly, I don't feel like getting my laptop set up tonight in the cabin so I'll see if tapa has pm access and respond to any inquiries.
