This is addressing a different issue. The main thing here, we are a community. We all want basically the same things. We don't want to read through the flaming of other users and posting counterproductive things. Yes people will post questions in the wrong sections, etc, but it doesn't warrant 5 posts complaining about it's misplacement when it would take one to clarify and inform him KINDLY it's in the wrong place for future posts. Yes that search feature is nice, and things are crowded, but people make mistakes. We need to be a community and treat eachother with respect instead of whining and complaining at everyone.

Answers from the mods would be nice. Because the community is creating rules and expecting people to know them in advance. The general rules are basic and dont cover a lot of what people like to claim is rules and whatnot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
yeah, this was more meant to address the people just generally being a%$es. Rules are nice and all, but we don't all need to police them, especially if it means posting 5 threads policing them.

What are talking kid.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
What he's saying is, if you can't help, don't waste yours and our time. At least answering incorrectly shows effort on one's part to help, instead of just blatantly being an ass.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
Plenty. Answer the question and direct them to the right place, especially if it only takes one post to answer. If it'd take more link them to a more relivent thread.

For every one noob asking a question in the wrong place we have 5 "experts" repeating this goes here wasting more space than it'd take to answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I'm sorry hampsterblade - I mean no disrespect - but you seem to have a Do as I say not as I do attitude with this post and your posting in the dev threads.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Well if you DO follow his actions then you'd be in our IRC channel helping us debug and giving us logs. Hampster's one of the only new names that I've seen giving us legitimate help lately.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
FB I don't plan on following others' actions. And I am not saying what he said in the OP doesn't have merit. However, it seems after he posted this he has been on a posting spree in the dev section... adding to the clutter he denounced in this post. Hell he even accidentally started thread today in the dev section talking about starting a Wiki...

I don't know how me joining the IRC channel will benefit you guys or help. I hope to help by answering noob questions so you guys don't have to. We are going to have to do hand holding whether we want to or not... I am resigned to that fact... therefore, I do my best to handle as many those requests as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
....As the world turns (starting to look like a soap)

As lumin30 will tell you we have had our fair number of disagreements here, but I totally agree with him. This is a somewhat relevant post, but it looks more towards the lines of "Do as I say not as I do" post. There are plenty of "This is what your supposed to do" threads like this ----->

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235789

And if this is what the OP is referring to as "especially if it means posting 5 threads policing them."

then please look at date i wrote it (26 aug 2011). If mistaken on what your talking about then I apologize.

Just seems to me that the very thing you are preaching is being done by you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
I'm not trying to spark arguments here.

What I'm mostly saying is cut some people some slack. While it's a good thing to inform people where things should go, that doesn't mean when someone posts something in the wrong thread things only need to be said once, and if it's a simple answer just answer it and inform them it should be in a different section.

Read through some of the old threads especially Raver's roms, and yes some people are dumb reporting bugs that are in the op, or have already been reported, and not providing logs to help. That doesn't mean we need 5 people to reply to the post saying this has already been reported or this belongs in Q&A.

I'm simply saying be friendly. The overall activity of the community has gotten way too hostile. Noobs will be noobs, not that I approve of it, that doesn't mean our older members have to be dicks.

Also my post earlier was a legitimate mistake as I just opened the browser to make the post and didn't notice what section I was in. And As for the wiki I do intend to do it as I feel there is too much to put on one page with sub-pages, and that navigation wise it will make things more friendly for noobs to find information easily with a full FAQ, and wiki pages with full descriptions of roms, how to flash them, and known bugs, as things tend to get lost in the forums. I'm simply working to help out the little guys. We all had a time we were noobs too, just some are dumber than others.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
noobs will be noobs, saying that just tells people hey i'm a noob and noobs will be noobs...so I'll just post where ever I like and continue not to use search
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
Guh, people are so selective with what they read. I said noobs are dumb in post in the wrong place. Doesn't mean we need 5 people to police them for every post. It only makes things worse.

People only hear what they want to, and criticize you whenever you whenever you try to make a point. That's a lot of what I was talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Go make points to your wife and friends... let's talk about Android and the SGS4G on the forum. You aren't going to change anybody. LET IT GO! If you think you can do things better than the rest (i.e. the wiki) - go for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
This forum is so full of crap... What a shame. I think the problem is with devs releasing early versions of their work. Also, I think trolling is necessary every once in a while. How many times have one has to answer same things? Like I said on a post that got deleted in Valhalla Black thread...

If devs have the phone then they should be able to test it and instead of giving alpha or beta or charlie or delta or f**k releases I think it's best for the whole community which they are part too for them just to release an almost final version and the final. This will stop the trolling, whining, repeated questions, unnecessary posts and the cluster in the forums.

Also, noobs have to learn that every damn "problem" when flashing a ROM has ONLY these steps to solve the problem:

1. wipe

2. fix permissions

3. check mounts

4. reflash

5. re download

6. use a one click

7. go back the whole process

One comes and ask for something and some smart ass think he is a developer rockstar cuz' he tells one of these things... THAT WORK FOR MOSTLY EVERY ISSUE!

Also, there seems to be little modding within this forum and we may have here some people that would volunteer for it. Why not nominate someone to be actively modding the forum? That is instead of everyone posting their way of "how to do it correctly".

As far as I have seen... everyone here posts too much. Need to stfu every once in a while. I could mention some that really post f'ing way through hell and heaven much and about the same useless crap they are trying to stop.

TO MODERATORS: WE NEED SOME MAJOR CLEANING IN THIS FORUMS!!!

TO NOOBS: READ!

TO SENIORS: STOP THE *****ING!!!

TO DEVS: We are patient with your work, be patient with us, please!

TO EVERYONE NOT IN THE FORUM BUT LOOKING TO BUY THIS PHONE: DON'T!

TO EVERYONE NOT IN THE FORUM BUT WITH THE PHONE: Watch out, stay out!

No need to reply or please for the love of your gods and whole unborn humanity: DON'T QUOTE MY WHOLE POST! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
For somebody not part of this community this place looks like a live fire range.

There are people that want to help clean the place up and get the nonsense slimmed down. Then there is the people that ***** about it and five posts later are doing exact same thing.

IMO the people that keep saying it wont make a difference, well they are the ones that enjoy the flaming, trolling, *****ing and moaning. Read this thread the people that are disputing with the op are the worst offenders.

This statement is so dead on.

Regarding noobs will be noobs, its true and if you help them most of the time they will not bother you more. If you are nice to them and inform them they are posting it the wrong area most of them will apologize and go to the proper sub forum. In time if they stick around they arent noobs anymore just more people to help the true incoming noobs.

One last thing Devs you want people to post the questions in the proper thread? Create one when you post your dev thread. Link it in your dev thread. Stop telling people to use search and instead just link to your question thread or to your original posts with bugs, changes, or temp fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:

LOL I keep getting my posts deleted WHAT THE F**K!!!

F***ING report THIS.

Sorry for being so clever. U MAD?!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I didn't report you. And nothing in this forum makes me mad in case that was said to me. But I swear eollie is a woman. Just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Your post is still here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
@lumin30

I never said it was you. Also, I think you and eollie need to make peace. This is going nowhere. In the end everyone does whatever they wants. Also, I have seen him, as you, helping others. So you two are good guys... now shake hands and move on. :) We should all contribute to a Wiki... hell I would start one but my guides and advices are not that well explained. Anyway, I think its a good idea to get some Mods to cleanup. I insist. I mean to get posts and threads deleted.

----------------------------

@eollie

I posted something else and it's gone.

----------------------------

I got nothing against anyone here. Yeah some are annoying but not everyone is a 100 dollar. We should accept each other. Stop the *****ing and live with noobs asking and posting in wrong areas and having devs releasing buggy stuff and people complaining with not logcats, trolls trolling and flamers flaming... etc... It is fun watching all this happening. How long we have been with it? It is a forum after all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
We have a wiki.

And I can care less about eollie. He seems to think people give a **** about his sermons. We don't need a preacher. If it matters to him he should set an example instead of cramming it down our throats in so many threads. If he wants to continue on acting like the devs and mods are paid employees and should do things a certain way - and insisting on everybody else acting a certain way that is acceptable to him - and I read it - I will continue calling bull**** bull**** which is 90% of what he posts.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
lumin Ive said it so many times. If you dont like what I have to say ignore it. But you cant you like insulting people and claiming you know whats best.

I think you would be surprised at how many people think Im right. I know the devs aren't paid for ****s sake if they were we would have ICS, CM7, and MIUI already. They do this on their own time.

Nothing I have suggested is really out of order.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I'll make a deal with you eollie - I'll ignore your bull**** sermons that I dislike if you will ignore the posts you dislike. Deal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
or how about i just report the both of you and get all of these useless posts deleted? i like that plan. sending a pm to lufc
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Technically these posts are in the right thread. They are on topic.

lumin I pretty much ignore things I dont agree with you on. Unless you are posting in response to something I posted. I only think its fair that I am permitted to respond. Go back and look at my posts. None of them are directed at you, until you say something to me. /shrug

I know I wont change your mind. But I dont think it fair that I have to deal with you and your constant berating any and every thing I post. Hell I posted a link earlier and you HAD to include your opinion instead of just letting the poster try it and if it didnt work he could ask for help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
yes, but they are disruptive and add clutter to the thread, plus there is a "rule" about cussing which you have both violated anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Hehe

The guy wanted to go back to Froyo stock and start over. My post was telling him he didn't need to and why. Damn you are sensitive.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Isn't it past your bedtime? Clutter in the thread? You have to be kidding me. Just report it and quit adding to the "clutter."
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I was just pointing out how it doesnt matter what I post you follow behind and post either calling my post useless or something.

wait for it he will respond. he just cant let anything die.

[Streak 5 General] Fingaluna:
Hi All,

I have moved the the Olleh 407 ROM and unlocked the Streak...

A few questions.

I don't like the new version of the widgets for the stock UI - specifically:

The gallery widget will not scroll through pictures.

The message preview on the email widget shows too much per message, can't see many messages - not a big deal, but prefer the old widget.

I can't seem to edit the icons on the home screen widget. There are some that I'd like to see on top all the time...

So - Is there any way to revert to the previous widgets? I was on a 350 stock ROM.

Does anyone know if SetCPU will work on the 407 ROM? I would guess yes, but don't want to mess around with it until I know it works.

I have heard mention of a "Perfmod" from previous ROMs. ANy point in trying this on the 407 ROM? If, so would appreciate a link... but I can dig...

Cheers!
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
1. Widgets: I don't think so.

2. SetCPU: I believe it does.

3. Perfmod: No perfmods for 407, unless you count switching to a custom ROM as a perfmod.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Stevethegreat:
OK... so I'm running this Froyo Rom and I want to remove a couple of options from my/the settings menu (it's a bit cluttered for my tastes).

I think that I remember that there was just such a way to modify a rom so that it can show less settings options, but I don't seem to find it. If anyone can help on this front it would be really appreciated...

(In two words can I modify the "settings .apk" so that it shows less?)

Thanks for your attention.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
Of course you can, but you run a very real risk of breaking your rom, you would have to decompile the apk and poke around in the xml and smali files to find the option you wanted to remove. you would also probably have to make some adjustments in your framework.apk but like i said you run a very real risk of breaking the rom you are using.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Stevethegreat:
Yeah, I know, but I'm a total noob to those.

I did find this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...-how-edit-settings-apk-solved.html#post905109 but decompiling throws me an error.

Even when I put the framework-res file in the right directory apart from taking ages to decompile it still throws an error towards the end of the process (I've lost about a day trying to decomile the settings.apk but it was to no avail as -in the end- it threw an error again).

In fact that must be quite easy for someone with experience in this if I could post (to him) my settings.apk and framework.apk I may have had results in a few minutes (instead of having to learn sth from scracth in my limited time). But I guess it's a bit hard to find someone around here who would voluneer, no?

Anyhow thanks for your reply ;).

edit: OK I was able to clear out the errors. So I decompiled, made the appropiate changes and then recompiled (as per the instructions), but all I got was an apk half its original size which would FC whenever I was trying to run it (upon placing it on the system/app folder and rebooting).

What makes things even weirder is that merely the act of decompiling are recompiling (the apk) without making any changes at all rendered the -new- apk useless. So it seems recompiling in general ruins the apk -period- (no matter whether I've made changes or not). That is very troubling indeed... like I said I am a noob at these, any help at all would had been greatly appreciated...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] atoz350:
When you placed it in the system/app folder, did you set permissions?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Woody:
It is not as easy as decompiling the settings.apk picking out what you don't want and then recompiling it. Think of it as a web. The Settings.apk uses bits and pieces from Framework-res.apk, services.jar, androidpolicy.jar,...

We understand that you are a self-proclaimed noob, but you have to realize that it just isn't that simple to just delete something that you don't use. I mean, just because YOU don't use it, your ROM probably does. Are you always in the Settings page anyways? I doubt it.

It is good though that you took the initiative to somewhat learn how to de/recompile apks as that is a fantastic basis to start from. You can also learn smali and baksmali to modify apps as well.

Here is a good thread about theming and using APKtool to change things in an apk (such as /framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi where you can change the icons images for custom icons---but you can also do this by installingADWex or LPP and an icon pack).

Long story short, no need to change your settings.apk as it will bork your ROM and your next thread will be, "I think I bricked my phone...Halp!!!"
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Stevethegreat:
To clear some things up: I regard myself an enthusiast user. That is to say that I have considerable experience with modding my devices, what I am a "noob" at is actually creating or reverse engineering the code *which* mods my devices (I have little experience with C but that's about it). So do not be worried I am not going to brick my device and if I do I would know how to "debrick" it ( as I have done numerous times to my devices)...

With that out of the way I have to say that I want to modify my settings APk not for aesthetic but for practical purposes. See I have written a basic script on tasker that doesn't play well with froyos settings.aPk (but it does in ICS or GB), I've tried to rewrite the script but i found a dead end which was what lead me to wish to modify the settings APk....

All I wanna do is -basically- to hide some options not actually *delete* them (i am aware what havoc that may cause...). So if there is any advice relevant to my case I would welcome it very much...
