[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Shaaan:
Reason for this thread : I am simply bored with people asking simple and silly questions.

This is a complete Android guide.

All inputs from other members are welcome.

Before and for all to read forum rules:

http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?f=263#td_post_81

1. What is Android?

Android is an an open-source operating system developed by Google.

2. What is touchwiz?

4. What is MIUI?

For more info go here : www.miuiandroid.com

Now lets go a little deep.

What is a ROM?

ROM is a customized operating system made by the users and for the users.

It can and may contain anything and everything from tweaks to looks. Each EOM serves a different purpose.

Once you flash a ROM, your warranty isvoid.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE *BEST* ROM OR *BEST* TWEAKS

Everything is best in its own way. It just depends on the users preference.

SO DON'T ASK SUCH QUESTIONS. Period.

If you want battery life, go for a stock ROM. If you want features, go for Cyanogenmod.

What is odin multi downloader?

Odin multi downloader is a software (windows) used to flash the stock Samsung roms and regain the warranty.

ETA'S

Stop asking when will this be released or when will that be released.

IT WILL COME OUT WHEN IT'S READY

this is the main reason why great developers like Jusada and Nims11 left XDA so please if you don't want more great devs to leave

STOP IT

Development Threads

These are the threads marked as [DEVS] or [DEVS ONLY].

Leave these threads alone. Don't comment unnecessary trash and ask for ETA's.

Respect

RESPECT THE DEVELOPERS

Don't go to their thread and say "this rom is useless because it doesn't have (something like this or that) or you don't like it* SERIOUSLY this problem is one of the mains on the galaxy ace forum. Please respect them making roms. It isn't as easy as learning ABC or 123!

They do it in their free time and without any charge. So if you want to use their work use it peacefully or keep your mouth shut.

Search

Read or search before posting anything! The SEARCH BUTTON is your best friend!

If you can't find it on xda search on Google. Still can't find it then ask.

Stop Spamming

Stop posting and reposting the same stuff over and over and over again! If it says in the ROM description that ""This" is not working" Dont keep on asking is "this" working? or something like that.

Please avoid questions like "how is the battery life, Is the ROM stable " etc. Usage differs with every person and so does the battery life.

Sections

Post in the proper section. You will get more help if you do this.

For example... don't start a question thread in developers forum just because you think it's more active than general section. EVERYTHING HAS IT'S PURPOSE

Miscellaneous

1. If you think that "why are these developers making *Other OS here* for android? "

Well some of us want to have something a little different. Of course it's android and it will remain as android but don't you want to break the limitations of it? well I do.

2. I'm sorry but this is really irritating me.

For the stupid b****es out there rating 1 star on an excellent ROM just because your language is not supported well d**n you. Stop it for god's sake making a ROM is hard and you rate them trash? sheesh

3. STOP BEING SO DEMANDING

some newbies nowadays keep on doing this like "hey I want this do It for me" at least say kindly or please. Be nice being too demanding will stress our devs and sometimes that's the reason they pause their ROMS.. now you don't like that do you?

Important :

ROM MANAGER BRICKS THE ACE

For heavens sake don't start flame wars in threads.

If you manage to brick your phone even after following all the steps perfectly, then there is a guide on "how to unbrick your ace ". Search for it.

The battery will get warm upto 45° C. Its normal. Don't start new threads for it.

Hope this helps.

No offense to anyone.

:cool:
