[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnirujan:
Hi there,

I was just wondering is it only me, or there are others with this issue. I have an Arc S and when i updated it to 4.0.3 in home launcher i was able to re size the widgets and when doing that the widgets was visible. When i pull the outer blue border i could see widget expanding. But after i updated to 4.0.4 it was no more there. When i re size, the widget is not visible and only the blue border is visible. Anyone else having same issue with 4.0.4 stock launcher?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Yup, I think it's common for all 4.0.4 or at least with the stock launcher.

Trying to get s census of the best rom people use I've heard CM 9 and AOKP are some of the best. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Du you want subjective answers? We can only say what we think, and those ROMs might not be what you like.

I run AOKP but don't really like it anymore. Just haven't been bothered with switching ROMs now when my summer job takes away most of my time and I'm tired like hell at the end of the day. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doritos Bandito:
Yes I want to know what others think. Any reason why you don't like AOKP anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
"AOKP tips", aokp this, aokp that. Also, the pink unicorn bull**** is too much for me right now.

It's too gayed up and contains far too much bloat and crap I couldn't ever see myself in need of.

At first, I tried not to mind and stayed with AOKP for some time (since build 28) but I have to change ROMs soon. Just gonna find some time to do it. Maybe this Friday after work. Luckily, I quit at 1 pm every Friday :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
My new hero!

I tried AOKP ONCE and I just frankly didn't like it.

I choose to use CM9 RC1 for now, but I will probably jump back to Trinity Kernel and RasCream ROM, I like the speed and I don't mind the average battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
This is nothing new for a lot of us but since we got ics roms there have been a lot of noobs. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS IN THE DEV THREADS. There are q&a threads for every rom so post your questions there and don't post the same question over and over. The only reason to post in the dev thread is to report bugs. Don't take this the wrong way anyone but its getting out of hand and I thought it needed to be addressed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
A good rule of thumb is ask the question once. If a answer is not given within a day bump your question dont ask again.

If your not sure what bumping a post is I will explain. You quote your previous post that has the unanswered question. If more than one was asked then just edit out the answered questions. It would look something like this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] solrac1212:
in the case of aokp dont talk about ponies seriously I saw the vibrant forums and the dev had to lock thread for talking about ponies:highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
These are all true. So I won't quote anyone specifically. I know in the last few days you've seen me post a bit, but there are weeks/months where I don't post at all. I'm not always watching the forum and have A LIFE TO LIVE (I'm sure you do to ;)).

A few of you guys are my ifriends and iassociates. And I like helping out, its in my nature. But as you see, I ask in my OPs that people follow a few of my own rules. And as you can tell, when my rules are broken I lock my threads. Because I don't need to walk away from my computer to go hang out with my daughter and come back to a thread full of off topic garbage that you guys could have been chatting on IRC or on PM.

It used to be in my signature, maybe I should add it again.

How to ask questions the smart way, by Eric S. Raymond and Rick Moen.

This document is your howto on using forums, mailing lists and IRC. I can be honest and say that I don't always follow that document and am sometimes making my own mistakes.

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.

I bricked my device :(

Flashed a wrong Kernel of the other S3 Variant, now I suffer a Black screen of death and cannot access DMode with the 3 button combo.

Can someone tell me if a JIG will get me out of this mess ??? Or do I have to send it in to a JTAG service :(

**The LED light shows up, and when I plug the device in the computer reads it as a "QHUSB_DLOAD"**

Any help would be appreciated ....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
I had to replace my device at that point; You're only able to access the Qualcomm download mode right now and unless someone has made a full rip of the AT&T/Rogers/Telus/Bell software using the Qualcomm tools, you're probably SOL. Not to mention that it's apparently very hard to find the Qualcomm download tools.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Fuzz21:
K, so as you said you replaced your device right, what should I tell Bestbuy about what happened to my phone so they can replace it for me (I bought the warranty) ???

I almost flashed an international ROM!

Maybe if there weren't TWO different forums for the International and US variants it would be easier to see....

I just did a search for Galaxy S III in the forum and first thing was apparently the international version. Just have one GS3 forum and separate sub forums for each variant.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Archangel:
That'll never happen an cause even more problems then you will think. The admins an higher officials know what the are doing, an us mods have prepared for how this is setup. At first it's going to be hell, but it'll be worth it, if people just read what they are doing an where they are.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Pirateghost:
thats the problem that is rampant in xda....

people need to slow down, stop being so excited and take a minute to actually get their bearings and UNDERSTAND what they are doing.

it seems so many people think this is all just child's play and nothing bad could possibly happen. as we have seen over the years, nothing could be further from the truth.

as android grows in popularity, so does the noobery, even though they are warned, they will still ignore the warnings and rules.

this is my favorite XDA post of all time and sums it all up:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] appdroid:
I agree with u guys, now a days some mods don't look at what that noob did. They only care about what you wrote and give you infraction.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
@MrHighway: I am really liking your hands on approach to modding. I wish mods in other forums I have worked on were as involved. As Android continues to explode, XDA will require more of the "tough mod" approach as we are not just a small community of Android purists anymore.

My suggestion on the noob problem: Have a basic multiple choice test on flashing, nandroids, adb, wiping, etc. that must be successfully completed in order to obtain a password to access the Android Development section. Even if ppl Googled the answers, they would have learned something which should made the devs lives easier. Probably will never happen as page views drive revenue, but here's to free thinking ;).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Archangel:
Thanks, I appreciate it a lot. One reason why I'm always posting in the forums, is to let everyone know that we mods are constantly avaliable to ask questions bout where things go or if you have any concerns about something. It also let's the trolls(you know who you are) know we do watch these sections.

That would be extremely useful, but not completely practical at the same time. Like you said, people need to read an learn about what they are doing.

Before I rooted my first Android, I spent numerous weeks reading bout android, flashing, modding an other stuff related. So when it came time to do it, I knew what to expect. Even now, ill still ask a question or two just to make sure I'm doing it correctly(only in Q&A though).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] neuropass:
i dont understand why you brick your phone when you flash it with a a variant ROM. Lets say I flash my roger S III with an international ROM. The worse case scenario I need to flash the proper modem as well to have everything working. Why would i brick it if the phones are the same?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Archangel:
That's completely wrong dude. The international an USA variants only share, the name an accessories. Nothing else.

International, is a quad core exynos based phone, while ours are snapdragon s4 processors. Those are not the same in any way possible.

The roms themselves are also completely different from the international to the states an from Verizon to T-Mobile. Completely different from work with special stuff from each one to another.

You can't just flash a modem from one phone on the other, Verizon an AT&T are completely different radio bands. Need I explain more.

I highly suggest you do more reading bout rooting and flashing roms before you brick your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
Go ahead and try flashing your phone with an att or international modem, best case scenario you have a zero imei and therefore are stuck on 2g, worst case, you have a really cool looking paper weight. Please don't post about this stuff without doing some searching and researching first.
