suggesting rules on someone who is giving away something for free ......

well im sure you can get my drift.

be thankful, and do a little more reading.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
To add with previous comment. There is no need to cater to people who want to flash a ROM without reading OP. ROM Manager tried to do this and all that ended up happening is people bricking their device because they got used to flashing without reading and as soon as a International s2 ROM was accidently posted in t989 rom section you had people bricking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
I vote no, the developers can choose to post and manage their threads how they see fit....besides...its not that hard to open up the thread and look at the bottom of the OP and see the last time it was updated...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
Yes, yes and yes. Why is it a big deal to let people know by looking at a thread title when it was updated? Why make someone open a thread and search for when it was revised? If you are putting a revision number in there, why not a date? It is not so much imposing a rule as it is a valid suggestion to help the end user. Is it really that big of a request that someone would stop developing because they were asked to put a date in the title? Getting real tired of hearing all the crying about devs doing this for free as well. If you are going to post work on a forum you are going to get requests, you may get criticism, you will definitely get repeat questions and people that have no clue. Yes it is free, and it is on your own time and all that, but no one is forcing anyone to come here either.

I do appreciate the work that is done here, I would probably still be using a cry phone if it wasn't for this community and having the ability to customize my device. So thank you to all the devs that do this because they enjoy doing it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Appreciate the honesty as opposed to voting one way and posting another.

On the other hand I do think its funny but not unexpected that people think it is asking too much to ask people to posts only dev related information in dev topics or not post duplicate questions (ie read before posting) but its not too much to ask for a new rule on devs.

Gimme gimme gimme some more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
posting trash in dev threads and not being arsed to read thread edit dates and track version numbers of development that interests you are two different things, but both bad habits that users could possess

the fact that every dev posts a change log just makes this suggest even more ridiculous.

Keep micromanaging the devs to death and they will just go elsewhere. It is the truth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
If the last few weeks have proven anything it is that people dont see those things as bad habits but things to be proud of.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CBlakey292:
After further deliberation I vote: No

To me Roms/Kernels/etc are like cars/engines/etc. if one is given either for free and it has been proven worldwide that it wont hurt one who uses it...

Wouldn't the model info be enough... I believe so.

Eugene's right, it's not like dates make it fresher.

In fact I think threads without it gives the Rom/Kernel/etc. timelessness.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CBlakey292:
I love Android/T989 forums.

Its where questions/comments are met with... passion.

Those IOS forums have no clue what they're missing out on. lol

People seem to forget that xda is a knowledge sharing site and those that share shouldn't be slapped with stupid rules and regulations on how they choose to title their work. My 2 cents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] capcanuck:
Couldn't agree more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] saltmine:
No. Users should have to do MORE work. Not less. I think the average user on this site expects way too much; learn to read.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
What a remote concept. Why would you need to read directions before doing something which in a worst case scenario can brick your multi hundred dollar device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
No they should not be mandatory.

I for one like to use names, easier to remember the builds in my eyes, also I feel that its creative. Devs have their own preference.

If I add the date then I do, if I don't then I don't..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
I vote yes dates should be mandatory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oldmacnut:
It doesn't take 30 minutes to edit/add the date in thread title of said thread the dev is already editing with new info.

So yes, dates in title should be not only required, but common sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Your sarcasm is beautiful. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] troy00:
Dates are a good idea, however, I do not think they should be imposed.

I have noticed some devs have both date and version, while others have either date or version.

Personally, I do appreciated those devs who do mention both - thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
I love how some people are making the case "why is it so hard to put a date on"...I still question why is it so hard to open the thread and read the bottom of the OP for a revision date?

There must be a lot of people who just read titles, open a thread and click the DL link without reading anything else...smart...because I sure like to gamble away 200 bucks so I can be extremely unnecciaarily lazy...

A fine example for one of the key problems with some Americans today...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
Putting a Date is not the issue... Imposing new Rule's over people lacking the ability to read is. Now I'm not saying everyone don't read.

Sometimes I put Dates, sometimes not... but regardless what anyone says here, I'll keep doing things my way until it's a Rule..

My Point is, If it's the same Revision, then no update... If it changes, then it's new.. but, each there own I guess.

~Eugene
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Digital1325:
What's the difference between dates and version numbers? If you don't know if you have the latest version or not, check the ROM title of the zip to see the version. Takes the same amount of time it does for a dev to add the date to the thread. Dates don't really do much more than a version number...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
This is exactly what all these threads have been about. We even have threads complaining about flashing instructions.

The ideal people are asking for is what ROM Manager has ,ideally with only some screenshots but no need to read and a download button .

Look here to see how getting used to flashing without reading works out for users.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582708&highlight=not+our+phone

However look at the poll results and youll see that making reading OP less important and catering to the lazy is popular.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
If you follow a particular ROM then names or revisions are fine. You know what you have and know it has been updated. If I get on the forum and want to see what is new, the title with a date will tell me that. If a developer just cleans up the OP it will show that a revision was made. But the ROM was not updated. That is all this is about, a date in the title makes things crystal clear as to when something was updated.. How can anyone in there right mind argue with that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
Not arguing with that!

But, we don't need more imposed Rules. Simply asking the Dev. of the Rom to post a Date in the Title thread is better than making it a Rule!

Simply put, this is a Troll thread for me.

~Eugene
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Couldn't agree more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] troy00:
Eugene - you said it perfectly. Asking as opposed to ruling.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I just cannot understand why users want to beat us developers to death with rules. in the past 3 weeks i have seen multiple threads by "Joe Blow users" (no offence) trying to say the dev forums are run wrong and that there should be rules...

basicly it boils down to some users not being able to control them selves from posting trash in dev forums so they want to make it a rule that only devs can post in there. Because clearly self-control is not an option.

Stop trying to micromanage the devs and be sudo-moderators and just do your part in the community, keep the forums on topic and read the first post. Not hard at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Dates really? If you can take the time to read the op you wont have this problem.

You can even read the last two pages posts to find out if the rom was updated or not. It really is that simple. If you can not take the time you shouldn't be flashing your device. This is exactly why the same questions get asked over and over. When you flash a rom you should take your time because guaranteed if you rush you will have problems with the rom/kernel combo you used.

Why add rules for people who do things for the community for free? Most of the roms here have updated ops if not the first but by the second day it is updated.

I can flash literally every rom/kernel/radio combination here simply because I read

what the theme/developer/or helpful members post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
It isnt, they even explicitly said so in those threads where they kept referring to other users breaking rules (despite some of these having infractions themselves) and saying that there is no reason to ever expect self control. The takewaway of the last few weeks has been

rules for devs-> OK, great should be enforced.

rules for general posting -> Bad. Facist and takes away from the "fun and excitement" of the forum.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Yes I have never had any problems figuring out the timeline of a ROM but I actually read the OP for things I am interested in flashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArcticWolf91:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] r4zrm4xxx:
Should I hold off on root and ics until this? Don't much matter if I protect root? Or will root users not get the ota update without going back to stock?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IdowhatIwant:
You have to go back to stock to get back on the upgrade path to receive this. I'm currently on ICS and have no plans of getting this useless update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottjb:
Does anyone know if a rooted, stock ROM will receive the update? I assume so but don't know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Azn_Man_Down:
I believe so, assuming that you haven't touched the stock rom at all.

The update will check your current install to make sure it's exactly the way it should be.

Which means, if you've frozen or removed the bloatware. Unfreeze/reinstall them for the update to stick.

Thanks. All I have done is freeze some bloatware. I will unfreeze and see what happens.

Hi friends, has anybody tried rooting via Gingerbreak or ZergRush method? Is it safe? Why is this not working on SGR?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
Samsung Galaxy R is not such a widely used phone (can't seem to figure out why), hence, the low compatibility rate.

and i guess there is no other way to Root or Unroot your phone (just yet) without flashing via Odin. However no one's stopping you from trying other methods... Just be on the safe side and keep backups of everything.

P.S. : You won't void your warranty if you flash Stock Firmware or the CWM via Odin... And anything done by the CWM doesn't increase your custom counter so you are good to go for the warranty...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Thank you mate..... But, If I flash CWM.... will I be able to get back to stock recovery.... If yes... Could you give me a link for such guide.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
You get back stock recovery when you re-flash your fw via odin. If you don't want to reflash the whole fw, just take a recovery.img (or recovery.bin - I don't remember) from .tar package and create a separate .tar file for it -> and flash via odin.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Just flash the Stock ROM. It will revert back everything. :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] d.casper.b:
Hi all

I would like to know all about updating CM7. Currently I have 7.1.5 installed, I Have an ext3 (or ext2) partition for A2SD.

How now would I go about updating to a more recent release? On MIUI it was simply just wiping the cache & the dalvik cache.

Please can someone assist with a slightly detailed answer (I don't find very consistent results).

Also, let's say I'd like to do a clean flash of CyanogenMod (assuming that's not what's required in the first place), but I don't want to format my ext3 partition but simply keep the apps on the fresh rom - how would I do that? Or should I ask what I should be backing up and restoring? If it's not too "clean" to do it like this, please let me know.

Any and all information is welcome. I'd just like to have a clear picture on what I'm dealing with.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] LuigiC6:
Upgrades: Just erase dalvik and cache and apply update

Clean Install: Erase everything. Ext partitions are not affected by the format. Only thing is that it will erase your app data (games saves, etc). The actual apps will be left in tact though.

Definitely recommend a clean install if your coming from 7.1.5. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Real Sitek:
So since I have started rooting and flashing a couple weeks ago I noticed Google Chrome bookmarks on my PC have been vanishing. I have been scratching my head wondering wtf was going on. I am not too big on bookmarks on my phone so it took me this long to realise that my PC bookmarks are now on my phone and not my laptop! I have no chrome to phone or anything else to have my phone browser talk to my PC browser. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have any idea as to why this happened? I must say I am happy I found them at least lol. Any response wood be appreciated! (P.S. I did search first and found nothing)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
I have noticed a sync issue all around with chrome. At work I save a bookmark and sometimes it will never show up on other chrome browsers on other pc's that I am normally logged into. The fix has been to log out of chrome sync on that machine and log back in. So chrome for ICS will sync your bookmarks and it does on my phone, but chrome FC's so I can never use it, but they have never disappeared from my desktop machine.

So try logging out and logging back in on the PC and see if that fix's it.

Oh and this should be in the Q&A section.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ricola7:
Hey guys,

today I crashed my WP7 partition...so I gotta reinstall.

Until today I was running an old version of Yuki/Xbmods rom. I really liked the possibility to send cabs to the device.

Because I didn't really follow the WP7 Developement in the last couple of months I have some questions:

1. As far as I can tell almost all new roms can be updated via Zune?

2. Do other roms than Yuki/Xbmod support cab-sending aswell?

3. Related with question 2: Is there an easy way to partition the sd-card with other roms? Yuki/Xbmod had a cab file which made partitioning very easy...

4. What is your favorite rom ;D?

Sry that I'm taking the easy way here but I'm so busy right now and I suppose if you guys are up to date these questions are a piece of cake for you.

Really appreciate your help!

Ric
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] HypoTurtle:
As far as I'm aware only Xboxmod/BTTF is updatable via zune

Cab sending is supported in all the ROMs and is used for non OS build updates i.e. language packs

All other ROMs don't lock the sd-card which makes thing simplier, you'll find guides but in short, you reset the phone in settings/about don't let the system boot up past Magldr remove the card alter the partitions in partition magic (software needed) to give you a Fat16 partition (~200MB), unallocated space and unformatted space (which needs to be the largest partition). Reinsert card into phone let it boot then turn off, remove card format and merge fat16 and unallocated partition, format resulting partition into desired format. Then use Minitool (another software needed) to make both partitions primary.

Haven't had much use as need to use android to use enterprise networks, but have used pdaimatejams rom and now using HD2Os and both work well
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] negros81:
My favorite is TIGER ROM v5.0.0. With Radio 5.51T I have a lowest battery drain of every other ROMs / Radios.

Good luck with flashing :)

I have looked into finding a setting to only load a certain number of day worth or a number of emails like in K9. But there doesn't seem to be anything.

My father has so many emails, it's insane, the Gmail app works fine for him and he is on stock. What rom are you running? Is it sense based? Don't run sense based roms.

Having an old gmail account with a whole lot of email only affects your phone's ability to voice search, evidently. He's had an account since near the beginning, and has a lot of emails, and voice search gets a "connection problem" every time he tries. There are thousands of others with this problem, no response from Google on the code bugreport page. Stupid
