These developers put so much time into these roms and customizations to keep answering the same questions in a thread. I mean Cmon. I know every last one of them,with the kindness of their hearts,answer anyways. But I read every post and its the same damn questions,about the same damn topics and problems. If your writing the question,I'm sure u can read. So here we go.....

1. Open xda and on main page,click on more,then down to search

2. Type your search. Weather its a question,theme,kernel,rom, pornstar. Whatever just search.

3. If search is down (never been for me), then type in Google.com and type your search and then type "xda" afterwards. (Ex.Miui Inspire Xda). Now tell me what you see.

4. READ THE OP!!!! 95% of questions can be answered by reading the first 6 posts. Its fairly easy. And if you don't see it,then look through the pages. Or try methods 2&3.

....point is these developers provide great work with much pride. And I know they love to help and offer great support,but I know many MAY want a break from the spamming of the same crap every other post "what's the recommended radio" or "where can I download the kernel". I mean open your eyes. Even a blind folded,stuck in the basement,sleeping Stevie wonder can find the answers. Your is a android,meaning resources all over the place,put it to use!! This is my rant in support of developers all over!!!

Great advice. Its just as bad over an AndroidCentral where every post is the same question as the previous thread, lol.

Well I didn't wanna be a jerk but I mean over in the kingdom section,capy has to explain how to wipe data through recovery. Instead people post about flashing fullwipe 1.3 and idk y. I mean damn he posted a damn YouTube video. Maybe ppl can't read but a video and still can't figure it out?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Agreed.

This phenomenon is ****ing mind-numbing.

Seriously, I keep asking myself why I can't feel the left side of my brain anymore.

Yes Scott. I know I sound like a angry woman on the rag,but its not about *****ing. Grown men older than me,can't even follow directions. I'm 25 and I read before I do ANYTHING that idk how to do or second guess. If u can turn your phone on,then you can do this. If you can sext your tranny at 3am,u can so this. Not hard ppl. Like I've always said,can't fix stupid.

Anti-Rant:

Guys, much as I agree with you, there's another side to the story.

Many of these dev threads can get to be thousands of posts long, dragging across hundreds or more pages. Take as an example threads on Capy's work where he has threads of hundreds of posts in two different sections (Inspire and DHD), and that's just one ROM in question, never mind if you don't know which ROM you want.

Then, there's the search function. Right. If you're a n00b, you don't necessarily know what terms to use because you don't know what the F you're talking about yet. And those of us here ranting about doing a search don't help when I've seen the term k

e

rnel spelled Karnel, Kernal, Karnal, Carnel, and many other variants.

What I'm getting at are four things, the first being the most important.

1) Devs must be clear in their documentation, and put thorough and explicit instructions in the first few posts. Many of what YOU think are stupid questions arise from unclear instructions. For example, I used the CWM 'factory reset' function before Capy posted the video, so I wasn't sure if I needed to wipe partitions individually.

2) Be sure you have "clean hands" when criticizing others. I've seen so much immature teenager 'chopspeak' here (y dont u try 2 wipe agn), misspellings, and other grammatical mistakes that we must be aware that those of us who have not been here for any amount of time have not acquired a knowledge base and don't know what terms to use or what to ask and how to ask it.

3) There are also off topic posts in every thread which add to the difficulty when you're trying to get to the meat of a problem. Have you always posted specifically on-topic information every time you post in a thread? I doubt it. Be mindful that if a new user is casually trying to come by information, reading through dozens of pages peppered with OT 'chat' can be daunting.

4) If you see a question being asked that was not specifically addressed in the first post, recommend to the dev that it be added to an FAQ that should be contained in the first couple posts.

Of course, if the instructions are clear, and a stupid and/or redundant question is asked, then the poster must be *****-slapped into submission. :D

Just my two cents. Let's be sure we're not contributing to the problems ourselves.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
If the dumb asses at AT&T would quit jacking with Android, there would be a lot less of that here. There are too many noobs that are not going to take the time to properly learn, nor do they want to. They just want to quickly root so their hsupa will be enabled, they can sideload, they can remove AT&T crap, etc... Probably going to get worse when AT&T drags ass releasing the gingerbread update. Too bad there is no one click for the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
@bill, and the flip side to that is that maybe the person needs to read all 100 pages. I really don't have a lot of sympathy for people who say they don't have the time. we are all busy. it doesn't take that long to

skim. I spent a few days reading how to root before I did it and everything worked out. days, not minutes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
@Billy,bro idk if u just wanna rebel against the topic or not but its plain as day. Read and search it period. Maybe in one thread kernel is misspelled. Then scroll through the pages and ill certainly say you will find your word. And if it does say kernal,etc then search the dang thing till it works. Y'all have pity on these people that just can't do more than just look it up on their phone. And most the time the OP has all the information and if not on the first 5 posts,then ill be certain if they read to the first 20 posts,they will see the same related questions. I see it in almost every posting after the OP's. I'm not criticizing nor downing anyone,I'm simply saying that give these threads and forums a break. Ill bet you if you deleted every post that was a repost of another,more than half of the xda android,windows forums would be cut in half or more. Instead of asking same questions, state what u did and how you did it. Then the OP can see what step u went wrong. Instead of "I flashed the newer version over the older one, nothing works what do I do?" when clearly the OP states to wipe and through cwm. I work with ignorant people and lazy asses. If you own a Inspire and plan to root and hack,first learn to read. If not you will be bricked
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
I agree with the OP 100%. Over half the posts are from people who bought their first Android phone. Ran home jumped on Google to find out how to "root" because they heard about it. Jumped into it without reading anything. Then when something breaks they demand help. Well you should have read and read some more. Before I rooted I read about all the problems that happen, so if they did I knew what to do. I have been on this site for 2 years now and it is getting worse and worse.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
I waited three weeks to root mine. I had to learn how to use command on windows through my phone. Then what the hell a gold card was. Then once I created my gc, I followed the video step by step. Then it was rooted. Especially don't ask questions about rooting the Inspire,go to YouTube and type "rooting HTC inspire 4g". Bam, your set. Darkside and to all of you thank you for realizing I'm not scoulding anyone just trying to help maintain order around here. That's all
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thremix:
So, your lucky... what if after your hours, and days, and weeks, and years of reading, something went wrong... you wouldnt ask for help?

I got my phone, went to youtube, asked a few questions here and was rooted with in the hour..

This is my first android phone, I come from the iphone if that means anything. I had a lot of jailbreaks under my belt, but rooting was not the same..

heres what I do...

I read (HELP ME JAILBREAK MY IPHONE) thread.. I have two options, click... or dont click... If all I'm gonna do is go in the thread and cry about a search bar.... I dont click!!!!! If I'm gonna help I'l click, and I dont cry about it.. my point? Don't click on threads you dont want to read!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Point is don't come into this thread and start your *****ing. If you would had READ MY POSTS I stated "instead of asking the same questions,why not state what you did and what happened". See your still not reading. Because in sure by 100% you will not be the only one with the issue(s). Exactly my point ..case settled
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thremix:
ok, you got me.. I didnt have the time to read through this whole thread.. this one is my bad, since it's only 2 pages...

but there are threads, with great information that have 200 pages... the trick is to find the right page!

it's simple bud, you dont HAVE to click on a thread you have already seen a 100 times. Or you can, and be helpful.. make the android world a better place. It works two fold... people can feel ok about asking even stupid questions such as the thread with the guy asking about the Thunderbolt on ATT!!!

and you build a community with help for eachother.. which in it self leaves the apple world in the dust... bunch of smug stuck ups, that walk around with thier eyes wide shut! lol I know... I was one of them!

This is turning into flaming. It will get close just like the other one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
If that question has been answered many times, it does get annoying. It doesn't take too much time just to search. Most people that have asked questions recently are too LAZY to look for the answer. There is a 99.9% chance that threads which were created this week were questions answer already many times. We are here help our fellow community members, not spoon feed them.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
@Billy :if your having that hard of a time,do as I did with Adam and id10terrordfw..PM them asking a quick question that's more like "I did this and followed that and used recommended radio and everything but no go,what did I do wrong?" See difference between that then asking "how do I flash the radio that's recommended?" Or "how do I wipe in recovery?" Or "you need to fix this in next update." I mean come on. Stupidity always fails and makes u look like a idiot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Searching first will most likely get you the assistance you need quicker than waiting for someone to post a reply. Chances are, someone's been there, someone's done that already.

And it wasn't about "if you don't want to help then don't read the 'help me' threads," the subject of the OP was concerning repetitive posts in a *rom* thread. There's a difference. You can ignore new threads, but going into a dev thread, its not so easy, as that is the "offical" home of the rom, and one often times has to wade through a lot of redundancy.

Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thremix:
This is true... I agree

Now think about this for a sec, last week there was a rooting method that was long and could harm your phone... Some one asked about it and theres a lot of good info...

this week there is a new way, which is safe, and fast.. Not to many people know about, since it's new...

now person X comes in, doesnt wanna be a jerk, and does a search (root HTC inspire) AH!! theres thread with everything I'm looking for!! He finds the out of date info and uses that... information changes so quick when it comes to phones. So yes, while the question is the same, the information might not be.

This is just one random quirk and I'm sure if this person spent more time searching he/she could side step all that and find the new info, but still.. I think at least in this section of the forum, you may ask what you want... if people want to help, thats up to them!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
My point exactly there's questions to ask and there's the ones that are so pointless. I read post after post in the kingdom area and the coredroid threads and every other post is the same as the Guy that asked 4 posts up. Helping is all good but bro its pathetic to ask questions about radios and wiping when the OP states the info. Especially coredroid,Sergio works hard and posts the recommended software to be flashed,yet people still ask and when they learn what radio they then ask how to flash radio. Go to browser and type in "flash radio inspire xda" then bam your done. People don't wanna take the time to read and learn,they just wanna get it and flash then whine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thremix:
Yes, and I pointed out that I was dumb, and did not take the time to understand his words... that was.. my bad..

I was just ranting of my own, since I am sick of people telling new people to not post ANYTHING since more than likely, you can search for it...

the dev page I agree on...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thremix:
I agree 100%, and again... my bad for not reading through this thread. it only gos to show my stupididty! lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Hey, can someone help me root my phone?

LOL.. sorry just had to.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
This new rooting method is GingerBreak I'm assuming?

It shouldn't be ask what you want. This is for stuff that doesn't belong in the other sections. Lets say that you have a problem with Bubby's one click. A new thread doesn't need to created in general about your issue. A response in his thread will get more helpful advice.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Hey now ur ok man. You are responsible enough to say "if I do this then either it will be bad or good". How do u think everyone started this hobby? By reading and learning to do more than being led to the water. And look at what you said. "Find older info and uses that". That's not realistic anymore here in xda and especially here in the desire HD/inspire 4g realm. If something is faulty then they remove it or you will see 200 posts about the faulty files. And 95% of time the newer and corrected thread or file will be in place for the pre-existing file. You weren't dumb and its all good to ask questions new or not. But I'm speaking of asking questions and flooding the development threads with already answered questions that are two posts up or in the OP. I mean Cmon your taking offense to the new guys,when its supporting the community and developers PERIOD! This board is going downhill due to this lack of research. We own SMARTPHONES so lets be SMART and use our PHONE
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
We are here to help. If you want your phone to "take root" you have to plant it in the ground. Just like you would a flower you are transplanting and you want it to take root in the new soil.

1. Dig hole

2. Throw Inspire in hole

3. Cover with dirt

4. Wait for it to "take root" and it will grow a new ROM
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Awesome! will give it a try and post back with results. Thanks!

Trolling? Sir go somewhere else this is out of your league. Trolling is individually or by a group dissing and insulting someone's abilities,accomplishments or to be a jerk. So this nowhere near classifies as trolling. This is getting a direct point across that ignorance is no excuse and common sense is free. I'm trying to help people use their gadget to use the resources that would help them ,other than insult them. Were running sense 3.0 and gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. These developers don't deserve the torment
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
this has already been discussed and closed so why make another one? Your doing the same as people who open threads to act stupid questions. And thats it. I'm not gonna waste my time and reply back.

(No pun intended lol)

[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Hey I was the one that started with the miracle grow lol

Other dude started with turbo grow. We'll see which rooting method works better and if we can create a one click root for our phones.

:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Well it your asking how much difference will you notice by rooting then ill list a few of my personal reasons and benefits:

1) Getting android updates months and months way ahead. You may say "its a leaked version", but its still what you get. The way the providers update and the dreaded waiting, Is not worth it to me. So having the best OS running on my device makes me happy.

2) Avalibility of selection. You can choose different types:

*Sense-

They are three types. Sense 2.0,Sense 2.1,and sense 3.0 (which was leaded from the sensation I believe.). Basically the 2.0 you will see in a rom from attn1. He has the pure stock (same as your currently running) but its rooted and the patches and radios are updated with the RUU that's furnished. Sense 2.1 are in alot of the Gingerbread roms that you see in development. Basically delivering the updated cloud services,etc. But many developers are using bits and pieces from the Sense 3.0 (lockscreen and weather and wallpapers). Mainly alot of updates and awesome features. Many of these roms are themed and modified a bit.

*AOSP- pretty much stock vanilla android. Usually can be Gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. Many roms are tweaked and modified and its a personal preference if you wanna try it out.

*MIUI- Beautiful layouts and fun to play with. Its currently running android 2.3.4 and I'm sure you would enjoy testing it.

And of course...

*CM7- AOSP with alot of goodies and tweaks that may interest you. Offers theme manager support by clicking once to apply and fun sets ups and mods.,.......

3) The option to flash radios and rils and kernels to fit your location,battery,signal and health of your device. If one radio sucks,try another. And rils pretty much support the radio if the ril matches the compatibility of the radio. Kernels can provide many results such as apps functionality,overclocking, and other stuff I'm not familiar with (time to read).

4) Backing up apps and roms in case. When u flash a new rom,u need a back up and want to save your apps so you don't have to restore each one at a time...

Simply rooting gives u stock + so much more. Hope this helped :).
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Sorry Kirk. All this talk or Turbo and miracle grow,got lost in thought process. Haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
