[About XDA developers] paperWastage:
I mean small details: like "most commonly encountered problems and solutions", that the OP might have time to add or not

For a dev thread, I rather have the dev (most likely the OP) focus on developing and other people helping out in figuring out problems by common users... users can update the wiki on the un-resolved problems so that the dev can see, without having the dev to read the last 3 pages that were newly posted

you can see in the Slickdeals thread... 179 pages of posts... some of them are "useless" in saying "thanks for the deal", while some people have legitimate questions (like "is this phone quad band") that other users answered 10 pages after their post... having a wiki means

common info will be presented clearly without having to dig through the thread, and

anyone can update that, not just the OP

<--- most important point

EDIT: Slickdeals uses vBulletin too, but customized plugins... there are probably open source plugins out there, just trying to dig through

EDIT2: i guess SD doesn't use pure vBulletin plugins for that... maybe some CMS system
[About XDA developers] mikef:
I guess the problem really is that the dev thread should not be used for support, but people insist on treating them that way. I think that there should be a "ROM XXXXX Support Thread" in the device Q&A forums and that is where such questions should go instead. Then there would be no problems with the restrictions since user support questions or bug reports without proper logging, details, attempted fixes, etc. would be moved from the dev thread into the support thread if they were able to post them there.
[About XDA developers] paperWastage:
even in support threads... who would maintain the massive throve of info that many people would ask? the OP(most likely the dev himself who made the thread), or every user who wants to?

example.... if a lot of people post below us, makes it go into 5 pages... someone on page 3 found a plugin that does what it works.... does it make sense for that info to be posted just below my first post by anyone, or is it on me(the OP) to edit my first post "someone on page 3 found this info"?
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
This is actually an interesting idea. We are busy adding other new features but definitely will keep this in mind. Right now, we do already have a wiki and there is nothing stopping someone from creating a wiki page while adding their thread, and linking to it, but it would be nice to integrate that directly into the page.
[About XDA developers] paperWastage:
yeah, but it's definitely not as seamless as having it right below the original post

lemme see if there are any plugins to "stream" that wiki page into a post...
[About XDA developers] jawz101:
Came here to request this too. And precisely for the same reasons as the OP.

This would be immediately embraced.

I don't understand the "I'm not sure this would be adaptable with vBulletin" comment since slickdeals uses vBulletin.

another vote for this.

i have been following a thread about about the development of 4.4 for the hisense sero 7 pro (randomblame, davepmer and others are awesome)

anyway it has a post count of nearly 1,000 and people come in and try the latest build, or just wanting to ask a question about the latest builds. the same questions get asked over and over. i don't really think its the fault of the person asking since who is going to read 1,000 posts just to see if his/her problem has been discussed.

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking at creating a theme for our Galaxy Nexus that is compatible with Theme Chooser.

I'm wandering which would be a more popular choice among the members here? Kindly indicate your preference in the poll above.

The blue over light grey version would be styled similar to Chrome OS

V1:

V2:

while the blue over black version would be a similar to the stock theme, but with slightly more depth, highlights and glows

Thanks!

This is a guide that has all the files you need to DL.

Basically it will guide you through downloading Odin (open disc in a nutshell) and the two files you need to flash the phone back to stock 2.1 eclair. It will tell you how to put phone in DL mode. Never disconnect a phone from PC while Odin is running.

After that, it will guide you through the rooting the phone and getting a custom recovery(clockwork mod).

CWM recovery is what is needed to install a custom rom.

OK I'm going to try this right now see how it goes lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungLeiva:
Of course. I think that's what he was trying to do till it got stuck and couldnt fix it lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Yeah. Just follow all the steps and you should have no trouble. Took me all day, trying to go straight from Froyo to HB, but when I took my time and went the way we showed you, it worked like a charm.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungLeiva:
ok im confused on the rooting part. I cant seem to put it into recovery... the vibrant logo just keeps on restarting till i let go and the phone just starts up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Are you on GB boot loader? Make sure your using correct button combo to get to recovery. Think its down and power at same time. Kind of a pain in the butt to do until you get the hang of it. Soon as you see Samsung let go and it should give yellow text scrolling, then recovery menu.

°thats not exactly rooting. The HB ROM has root though, so when all is finished you will be rooted.

Also make sure when HB is installed, when you first boot it let it sit and don't touch it for 10 min or so :)

If you get stuck pm me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungLeiva:
cool got it... i have to run the update.zip then get to the the HB part lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Yeah. Don't skip anything either. Update.zip then wipe and everything install froyo then wipe, etc. Then cm nightly, etc. Don't skip, will likely just slow you down.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] meshki67:
I'm sorry if this is reposted, however I looked around and couldn't find an issue similar to this.

I dropped my phone while juggling (not literally) groceries earlier and the first thing that came up was an error stating that the sim card was not found. I've taken it out, put it back in, restarted multiple times, etc. I don't know what to do here.. I've rooted and unlocked my phone (used HTCdev for the bootloader) so I don't think I send it in.

I've done a hard reset, but I don't think that is really helping. SO.. now I'm not sure really what my options are. I read that you can't relock your phone after using the HTCdev fix and I'm very noob so I'm not sure if the reset took off my root.

Basically, do any of you guys have any suggestions as to how to move forward from here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shaneleelevin:
Well coming from a cell repair standpoint, I would at least make sure it can't detect other sim cards before you get drastic. PM me and I'll try and walk you through it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] meshki67:
SO my friend just came over and he has an iPhone (AT&T). We swapped simcards, he called my girlfriend's phone and it worked fine. Still the same problem with my phone though... definitely seems like a hardware issue at this point.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PurpleFries:
Yeah you probably managed to knock the connector for the slot loose, or it bent the slot a little more than how it already sits. The one x's sim slots are actually really bad. I had to get 3 different sim cards before I got a working one, because the old iphone batch was fractions of a millimeter thinner and didn't sit right.

You could always try to put something on your sim to thicken it and see if that makes it work, but you gotta be careful with that, as you could lose something into your phone like that if you dont attach it to the sim somehow.

I wasn't able to come up with a sim-thickening contraption, which is why i just got new ones.

see if you can find someone with a very new android phone. Chances are they dont have the old iphone sims, and this will give you a better test
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Grnfinger:
Scotch tape will do the job nicely for the sim.

As for ops problem, my daughter dropped her iphone and had the no sim error after. Phone had to be replaced, id call your carrier and get it swapped out.

http://thegameklip.com/

This is a clip for several newer phones that attaches to a PS3 Dualshock / Sixaxis controller to make mobile gaming easier. With a rooted Atrix and the Sixaxis app by Dancing Pixel Studios https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en i've been using my phone with a PS3 controller for a while and would LOVE one of these. It's super cheap for a phone accessory (15.00USD), looks sharp, and would make GTA3 or Dead Trigger a bit more playable (I have big thumbs / the touch controls block half the damn screen). The only problem is that he doesn't support our phone dimensions.

I contacted the guy and he says

"If there is enough demand I might be able to make one to fit it! I would suggest posting on my facebook (http://www.facebook.com/GameKlip) and seeing if anyone else would be interested! Let me know if I can answer any more questions!"

So I figure if maybe 10 or 20 of us post on his facebook page wanting this for the Atrix we could get him to design one in our phone dimensions.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] octahedron:
Thanks for sharing this. Wouldn't it be better if he made on that could be adjusted?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] howie368:
It would definitely support more devices but on the other hand adjustable clips wouldn't grip the phone as tightly as ones made specifically for the dimensions of a device. We're talking about a gaming device here, when i'm spamming the x button in a bullet hell shooter I don't want my phone flying out of the mount. :p

Download the latest version of SuperSU from here

download the latest SuperSU zip file and flash the zip file using amon ra recovery.

I suggest SuperSU instead of SuperUser because I had difficulties with the SuperUser from the author's website over here http://androidsu.com/superuser/

The latest version of SuperUser does not appear to work on the rezound. At least this was true a few weeks ago when I installed the ics .10 leak.

So instead of using an old version of SuperUser, I am using SuperSU.

Can you access download mode? To do this, take out your battery first (to make sure your phone is off), put it back in, then hold the volume down + home keys while pressing the power button. Let go of the power button while still pressing the volume down + home keys and you should reach something that says 'download mode'. If you can reach that your phone is easily fixed.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deeveeance:
Little backstory- I lost my ELTE on my way to work about a good month and a half ago, and when I got there, I was frantic and all kinds of worried. Called and called but to no avail. Called Asurion, payed the deductible and got my new phone the next day in the evening.

Snap back to now, and I find the phone scuttled in some crevice in my parking space at my apartment complex.

The pics show the damage, but this was all about a good while ago and I know its 'blacklisted' since I reported it lost, but the phone turns on and works, aside from the scratches to your fingers.

I don't know how the damage came to it (my car must have run it over and shoved it there), but the phone is here now... Poor little guy.

Question is, what should I do? Should I fix it? Turn it in to Sprint?

Are there any digitizer replacements out for this phone yet that aren't over $70??

Just thought y'all might get a kick from this. I sure did.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Milly7:
I lost my E4G before and could not find it. I called Asurion for a replacement. Subsequently, I found my phone (before replacement arrived). Called and tried to cancel. They said cancellation wasn't an option. Asked them what to do since I found my phone. They said keep it. Number was not blacklisted. Kept the new phone in the box and reactivated the old one. When all is said and done, I traded in the old one towards E3D and activated the BNIB E4G.

Bottom line, call Asurion, told them you found the old phone and want to return the new. They will most likely say no. Tell them you can still use the old, but you must get it removed from blacklist. Hopefully, they can help you from there.

We do make mistakes.

Hey everyone. This forum as well as Q&A has been pretty swamped with people asking questions regarding rooting and unlocking the bootloader, so I thought I'd post some links and create a thread that can help to answer a lot of questions for everyone. If this is in the wrong forum feel free to move it!

Please read through all of these posts BEFORE doing anything so as to make sure you understand the process.

To root and understand the process: Link 1

To return to stock and relock: Link 2

One click toolkit. Use this to actually root/unlock/relock. MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING FIRST: Link 3.

Here's a step-by-step video explaining everything for you.

It might void your warranty temporarily - but you can return the thing to stock as long as you don't unplug anything in the middle of unlocking the bootloader or destroy the hardware, so it won't be an issue "re-warrantying" it.

Just make sure you know how to do everything manually in case something goes wrong. And don't be afraid to read a bunch before you do anything. Knowledge is key!
