Developers of /r/Android, fill out this form to receive your custom icons and flair tags.

Hey /r/Android,

We have a whole host of very talented developers amongst us, and they often pass under the radar. Let's show them some love! We're now assigning a custom-icon and a flair-tag to all devs.

The icons will be unobstrusive and will denote the 'type of developer', whereas the flair-tag will help clarify which App/ROM the dev has created. This will help our community to spot dev comments and replies, as well as ask them questions directly. In addition, it will help developers to advertise their product/project every time they comment on a thread.
Are you a developer? Click here to fill out the icon-request form.

  • The flairs will be assigned manually once your credibility is verified. Therefore, it might take up to a week for your flair to show up. Please be patient. :)

  • If your app is not-yet-published, you can still fill out the form (provide a credible verifiable hyperlink).

Each of these groups have a unique icon:
App Developer (Individual, non-incorporated)
Major Developer (Companies: Facebook, Skype, etc)
Custom ROM Developer (CM, MIUI, HTC, Motorola etc)
Unaffiliated Contributor (XDA dev, bugfixes etc)
Official Android OS Developers (+ Google Apps)
Android Theme Developer (Tha Icon, Team Douche etc)
Android-related Website (e.g. androidcentral.com)
Reddit Developer (RES, Reddit BETA, etc)
Google Employee (not affiliated with Android)
  • At the moment, there is no way for developers to automatically update their flair-text. Devs must message the moderators in order to change the flair-text.

Rules for Developer Flair

  1. If you are a developer, your flair must be one of these: App-Name | Developer-Name | Team-Name | Company-Name | Top-level Domain | "For Hire" | (or leave empty, and only the icon will remain).

  2. No URLs are allowed in your flair. Top-level domain is allowed (example.com)

  3. Developers have the option of mentioning their Android-Device info (in addition to Rule1), if they want.

I'm a bit confused about what this actually is? Filled out the form but see no difference to my reddit profile..?

I filled out the previous one for the handset and that also never shows as far as I'm aware. I've also filled this one out so lets wait and see.

The previous handset system was scrapped due to filesize limitations, unfortunately.

Your tag is now live.

I presume it's going to be a small icon next to our names, but it's almost certainly manually added after they've verified each dev.

You can see it now. I just verified yours.
