[About XDA developers] Shreejoy Dash:
Thanks for wishes, and yes I am going to apply the FM let's see how things go
[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:
You are correct, this is the not place for wishing to be a Moderator, or making any wishes.

But the great RC, Badger has provided you with the link and there is an actual account for the Moderator Committee:

And really you can send any Member on the Committee a msg/questions, there is a list available on XDA. If I have to find it for you, well your application will reflect it....since search is the #1 rule. :laugh:
[About XDA developers] Shreejoy Dash:
Yes sir i do understand that why I wrote first

That I don't think it's a correct place to ask

I was just a little curious so I asked about it

Thanks for clarifying
[About XDA developers] riyan65:
Hello, I like to know if I am eligible for RC as I have been active on XDA for long. And can anyone provide me the RC form, I am not able to find as I am using the app. Thanks in advance.
[About XDA developers] sd_shadow:
Prerequisites of RC are clearly stated in post #1

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25915966&postcount=1 .

There is no form to fill out you simply write why you believe you should promoted to recognized contributor, and state that you have read the RC code of conduct.
[About XDA developers] sd_shadow:
This used to redirect to this detailed expectation of RCs.

Now it just goes to https://www.xda-developers.com/recognized-developer-program/

Which is very different from the RC program.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
@sd_shadow

Nothing changed except that we are now under XF...The link didn't change and the page itself didn't change as well.

Though I had to deal with this issue and I know that what you are describing happens if you click on that link:

- using the new xda app.

- using an Android Tablet (Naked browser or Chrome for instance)

But if you use a web Browser from a phone or a computer, it works well. Just try by yourself.

Ask @J.Michael, this is the one who discovered the issue.

This is a weird behavior... Now we need to know how we could work around this weird issue happening possibly only with Android Tablets...

Is it the same issue with this link? https://www.xda-developers.com/reco...6.1348745715.1617648357-2048429231.1630175158
[About XDA developers] sd_shadow:
Your link works, but the link I quoted doesn't on mobile nor desktop.

I'm pretty sure the redirect had been broken for several years.

I just hadn't gotten a round to reporting it.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
So we'd have to ask @Zatta to fix the link in the OP, seems like he/she is not an active member currently but still we need to ask, moderators don't update posts without the consent of the OP for such cases.
[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:
New OP, so if we need to adjust or make changes it can be done, without waiting.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Thanks!

Link is now fixed.

@sd_shadow, could you please check if it's OK now? I've tested myself and it's all good on my end.
[About XDA developers] sd_shadow:
Works for me.
[About XDA developers] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I ran out of "thanks" today... so OP, thanks for this post. I'd like to sport the RC title as this is my home away from home.. thanks for a step in the right direction! :)

I came back.. OP.. thanks again. Button slapped!

Could it be the short member since date? Its the only thing I can think of looking at your profile. Says you only joined a few months ago.. technically not even 3 months ago.

Have no idea, just taking a stab in the dark :o

Good spot, dont know why i have missed it, you need to have been a member for 3 months, and by the looks you are not far of that now.
[About XDA developers] CamoGeko:
You have a great spirit mate, keep going! :D

Very helpful person all the time, no exception. It's kinda weird that you didin't get the RC status.
[About XDA developers] Dark Nightmare:
Can you recommend others for the title?
[About XDA developers] CamoGeko:
AFAIK only other RCs can nominate users.
[About XDA developers] Dark Nightmare:
No clue what AFAIK means but I understood the second half, thanks mate, wanted to recommend a few of the Amaze 4G users that contribute a lot but there seems to no recognized contributor amongst them though I can point out four+ that deserve the status.
[About XDA developers] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
AFAIK- as far as I know :)

sent from my Galaxy S III
[About XDA developers] The-Hulk:
Send me a PM with their user names and i will look at their prfile and nominate them.
[About XDA developers] mikef:
Anyone can nominate anyone else, but the senior mods have directed us to only proceed with adding a user to the RC nomination thread after confirming the potential nominee agrees to it. On other words, no surprise nominations.

In practical terms, it is really better for most people to apply directly themselves to a senior mod as each individual knows their own strong points and can make a better presentation to a mod as opposed to the mod looking at the users profile and drawing possibly a very different conclusion. Remember, they are very busy people and are not going to spend more than 10-15 minutes looking through a user profile. If you do their legwork in advance, your chances are going to be a bit better.

I have added a note to OP, asking members wait.
[About XDA developers] -Grift-:
250th thanks for you :D
[About XDA developers] mikef:
Right, that is why I suggested applying directly as a better option. :)
[About XDA developers] da-pharoah:
Good folks of this RC thread,

I just wanted to say thank you for the wisdom displayed in this thread!!! I have applied and have been accepted as an RC! I'm so excited! Best news all week! Thanks to this thread and my good buddy mustangtim for showing me the way! I have now been approved. I'm told it will take up to at least 48 hours to get the change from SM to RC, but its official! So thanks again to all of you! XDA rocks!

[About XDA developers] KnowledgeBroker:
Well, I'm one of the ones that Dark Nightmare was referring to, I would definitely like to be a recognized contributor, and I won't have internet for the next few days(which is why I am posting at a starbucks), so it is no rush.
[About XDA developers] cwhitney24:
I thought about it for a while and I am ready to apply! I see the OP says that the process is being streamlined at the moment. Can't wait to apply!
[About XDA developers] mikef:
Good luck! The mods are tweaking the process but you can go ahead and apply with one of the senior mods if you are ready to apply.
[About XDA developers] KnowledgeBroker:
I sent a message to apply to dharvey4651, the only senior mod I know.. does anyone with "senior moderator" title have the ability to do this, and if not.. is there anyone you'd recommend specifically to apply to?
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
You can apply to any senior moderator

You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think! XDA, mobile wisdom, not a n00b feeding ground!!
[About XDA developers] mikef:
Any senior mod can do it. Just give him a few days, and Good Luck! :D
[About XDA developers] ziggy46:
i applied also, and its been a couple of days. do they send you a message if you dont get selected as well? just curious. (the anxiety kills lol)
[About XDA developers] SpyderX:
They probably will reply, saying how you can improve and why you were not selected. If you still do not get a reply after a week, then send a reminder as the mod has probably missed your PM.
[About XDA developers] The-Hulk:
I am thinking of adding RT application to this as well, do you think this is a good idea.
[About XDA developers] Aquethys:
Agreed @ above.

What about a Google Form? That would be a lot more systematic, and could be shared with all the smods
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
Any chance for me to have a chance. Not heard anything yet.
[About XDA developers] Lesicnik1:
I just applied and got accepted in about 3 hours.

Thanks broncogr for your quick response :)
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
Wonder what I freaking need to do to get accepted. I help I am here and do.nothing more than try my best and others I know with far less than me that they done and they get accepted. Sorry but just annoyed by the procedure.
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
If you haven't heard anything after 48hrs, PM the SM again for an update. But make sure the SM has been online since you PM'ed them. (hint, you can check that on SM's profile ;))

[About XDA developers] The-Hulk:
Ok, my best advice is to PM the S-Mod that you applied to and ask for an update on your application, if you still dont get a responce then you can contact either PG101 or LUFC as these are the RC/RT Admins.

Edit - Sorry Fallen spartan, typing while you must have answered. (and i have run out of thanks again)
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
I have sir. Like a week ago but thought out of respect not to pester. I think I have more than done enough sir to be accepted as RC
[About XDA developers] ziggy46:
yeah i pm'ed NRGZ28... and he was last online today at 1:02pm EST.

i didnt save the message to my sent box (that should be automatic! lol), but if i write up a new one. can i send it to you?

Ok, can you both forward me the PM's you initially sent and I'll review ya both

[About XDA developers] da-pharoah:
Hola my fellow RC's!! Thanks again for the info and to mustangtim who first guided me here to this thread...
[About XDA developers] tonyp:
You just got past the three month mark EXACTLY today. As written in the OP you need to be a member here for at least three month and every application before today could have gotten denied simply by this fact.

If you get denied again you maybe should just re-apply again in 1-3 month.

Oh and - your posts sound like you have a very demanding attitude, I don't think that mods like that.

No offense, just a hint to maybe express yourself a little more contained.
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
The requirements for RC/RT are clearly shown in OP. If you meet the criterias, then apply. If not, don't bother

May I also add, the work you have done, has to be posted on XDA. No use having everything posted elsewhere (guides, help, themes, roms etc) on a different site and then expect to become a RC/RT here. Won't happen.
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
No offense taken but understand a reply would of been nice one way or the other. :) and we are here to make xda even better. Not for personal gain. ;) trust me others far worse than me
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
Mine is everything here. :)
[About XDA developers] SpyderX:
The requirements are not really cast in stone; in some the mods are slightly flexible (e.g. 3 guides requirement -- on some old forums there are not many original guides to be able to write), but please do not apply if you aren't a member for at least 3 months, or if you aren't even close to the listed requirements.
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
Look. I may not been here for a long time but I feel with the way I been helping people and with my two threads I have done more than enough to apply for the status. I am always around and always help and the status will only make me do better. That's all. And having RC's around makes the mods jobs more easier and take the pressure off
[About XDA developers] SpyderX:
My post wasn't directed at you mate. I'm sorry if it sounded that way. It was just a general notice to all future applicants. The 3 month rule isn't cast in stone either, but it is really highly recommended to fulfill that rule first before applying.
[About XDA developers] conantroutman:
If you really want an explanation I will PM you one but I dare say you've already got a damn good idea why you haven't been approved. Don't take us for fools because we aren't.

Case closed, business as usual please folks... :)

Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.....
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
Fine be like that. Status does not mean anything then as long as I know myself and from my thanks meter that I do a good job but yes mate an explanation would be nice instead of point blank non reply.
[About XDA developers] da-pharoah:
No sense in being ungrateful now. And that’s not how you should correspond with an S-Mod. Just FYI. Just keep doing good things and it will happen. All good things come to those who wait. Patience is a virtue young grasshoppa!!! :D
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
Well I asked for an reply and as per usual I probs be waiting till Xmas if I wait for his reply. It's not being ungrateful it's being not be taken as a mug no matter what position or status people have. Anyways i said what I had to say probs this not done me any favours but oh well not the end of the world. If people like to feel important sitting behind a screen with a status so be it.

Thanks if anyone takes a look,

[About XDA developers] The-Hulk:
I would say apply at the begining of july, you have a good shot of getting RC.

How long ago did you PM Zel, if it is more that a week then a reminder PM is fine after that time.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemming999:
I wanted to clear out my Wildfire and start afresh with a a rooted stock ROM.

Thinking that an RUU unrooted a phone but the extracted zip did not, I renamed the rom.zip (Stock 2.2.1) to PC49IMG.zip, put it on the SD card and rebooted with power on and volume down.

Prior to this bit of brilliance, the phone was (AlphaRev) rooted, S-OFF, HBOOT-6.01.1002, Radio-3.35.20.10 with clockwork recovery 4 (4.01.4 I think).

I had backups of the prior (rooted) setup but of course they were made using clockwork recovery (which is now gone) and therefore cannot be restored.

The phone is still S-OFF, HBOOT-6.01.1002, Radio-3.35.20.10 but without clockwork recovery.

Is there a way to wind back the clock and return to root or have I "burnt my bridges"?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocker86:
Try to get the recovery first and then restore the back up.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Painless001:
Hi all. As you might have heard the official Samsung ICS update for our beautiful Note has started rolling out in Europe today. I'm just wondering whether people will be using it or whether they are happy with their custom ICS roms. What are the pros and cons of each?

I'm still on imilka's Cm9 v2, as it works flawlessly on my Note. But I should update soon and want to know what people more experienced than me think (I've only been playing around with flashing for a couple of months)

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lifehijack:
I m going with Official ICS as I feel that our phone is incomplete without Touchwiz apps like S-Pen, S-memo, etc.

The day I will lose my Stylus, I will jump straight away to CM9. LOL.

CM9 is purely for better performance whereas Samsung ICS is for better user-experience.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] erichbitch:
I stay with TouchWiz Apps but other Launcher.

I think Nova Launcher is the best Launcher, those Folders and Docks are awesome !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bingoig11:
Cyanogen definitely as I don't want this crappy Touchwizz on my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Richy99:
change the launcher then, there are alternatives out there
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] erichbitch:
TW-Launcher on ICS is smooooooooth as hell but i would miss the custom docks, custom icons and those great folders from Nova Launcher !

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrSimtang:
Official ICS.

I tried a few AOSP roms, but can't live without proper stylus support. I've gotten too used to it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bingoig11:
Why should I have a heavier ROM with useless things when I can have a light ROM smooth and fast and everything I need :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Painless001:
How much of a performance difference is there between official ICS with 3rd party launcher and a custom rom? Would you feel this in everyday use?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mushmom:
I'm sure even without Touchwiz, there will be awesome developers porting Samsung apps over in future. Currently, you can choose both of them to your preference. If you usually take notes and enjoying Sammy's apps then by all means use the stock ICS ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NOZdroid:
After using imilkas ICS/CM9 and then going back to GB I realised how much lag there was on the note and stock roms... so I guess my question would be...is it as seamless, performance wise, as CM9? (In terms of basic features and performance like swioing between pages and launching apps and transitions ?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KSauzeRK:
I'm on CM9 but would like to try the Stock ICS, but that's more because of a compulsive flashing disease I must have. Well in fact I would like to have FM radio app, so that's my excuse for flashing the official ROM. I can always install another launcher like nova and still use Samsung apps anyway ? I mean touchwizz is not just a launcher right, it's a whole framework that's "there" even if i use another launcher ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ekofasc:
Correct.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KSauzeRK:
Thanks for the answer. As I read TW won't work well in tablet mode, I guess even if i use a apex launcher for example, I won't be able to get a working tablet mode with official ICS + apex launcher ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
I think I'll give the official ICS a try before giving my final judgement .

Anybody knows if the euro ics ROMs support RTL (I.e Arabic text)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bingoig11:
Under GB I tried stock ROM and custom ROMs, the difference between these two kind of ROMs was noticeable.

And I like things clean, so I don't want useles things on my phone.

All ROMs I use are also cleaned by myself using System Tuner Pro and removing all applications I don't use (like Email for example, I only use Gmail, wallpapers, animated wallpapers etc.)

And AFAIK with stock ROM I cannot remove Samsung's crap so CM9 is my best friend.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] XpLoDWilD:
With OpenDESIGN coming in the next few hours, you'll never say that you miss S-Memo and pen gestures anymore ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leoni1980:
I've come straight from CM9 and despite the annoyance of Samsung's bloatware I feel that ICS is a lot smoother on the official ROM. The only thing I would like to know is if there is a way to get the stock ICS keyboard. The ones in the Play Store seem to been twatted about with and don't seem to offer the proper ICS autocorrect infrastructure unless I'm mistaken.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ctenus:
CM9 for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ekofasc:
Nope, there is no tablet mode with TW ICS :( But I still prefer official ICS now that it's out, where everything works as it should - MHL, OTG, compass, GPS etc. At least until some good ROMs catch up regarding all this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crawlgsx:

Just went form CM9 #7 to Stock ICS and it is much smoother over all.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] omersak:
CM9 by a looonngg way.

Even though it isnt as smooth as the official ICS , i just cant stand the TW gallery, contacts, phone and email apps. Seriously they remind me too much of froyo and the sgs1. The ICS ones are class and a pleasure to use.
