you know what would be cool?

if you actually had to pay to get off the list, the amount according to the ticks after your name.

the money would be given 30% to the reporter, 20% to the list maintainer, 50% to a development cause.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
That would be against xda rules fo' sho'...

Hey, wait a minute... thought you opposed this idea! :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
Arent WE making our help premium, by bashing the n00bs?

I mean this community is made so popular by the tech sites that every owner of an android device expects 'anything and everything' here.. and thats the mindset of noob approaching XDA, back in the day only gutsy people who wanted to make most of their mobile used to come here, like i came here for the first time in 2007 looking for a 6.1 ROM for my XDA Mini S, now people come here with "my battery is draining when i play crysis HELP ASAP", dont get me wrong, i am not against it, what i am trying to say is the approach towards XDA has changed slightly, more so in last year or so.

on one point i agree with soulja boy, the guy who does not read the noob guide will not care much about anything else, he has one thing and only one thing in mind his problem and "why this freaking guys calling themselves devs arent helping me", lol. If i could i definitely let them know that the help offered here is free and the devs owe him nothing.

Back to the point, in the dev threads keep it to the dev's discretion as how he handles with this 'annoying' noobs, in the general, first time offender? Give him links and a link to the noob guides, second time offender remind him of his previous wrong post, third time offender just ignore.. thats the best we can do.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
I generally agree with what DarrellRaines has said above.

There's another reason why NOW is not a good time to initiate debate on things on which there are likely to evoke strong views, one way or the other. The reason is that people (whether noobs, Seniors or the so called Devs) are already frustrated...on the edge...ill tempered. Everyone's patience is stretched thin waiting for the ICS OTA, even the soak has not arrived despite being anticipated 'any day now' for a full month, bootloader unlock attempts have not succeed so far and we don't know if anybody has taken up the bounty.

Coming back directly to the topic, I have personally never seen anyone reporting objectionable threads /posts to the Mods. Granted, not every small infraction needs to go to the Mods - that would overwhelm them. But people, especially a certain group of people here, are more happy to pass judgments on people or their opinions, call them names and purport to discipline them. I think this thread is an undeserved show of no-confidence in and disrespect to our wonderful Mods. As if to say to them - you are not capable of maintaining order around here and / or we don't trust you to do it and we will do it ourselves from here on - all without even giving them a chance.

Mods are people who have been appointed for a reason. And it is for a reason that they don't participate much in the discussions on this forum. It's is so that they can maintain a detachment, not have their own biases and prejudices on issues or people. So that they have no strong views on the subjects being discussed or the people participating. And that aloofness qualifies them to 'judge' others. None of the Seniors and the so called Devs here qualify on that yardstick. Not because they are not good men but because they are humans who are expected to have the usual human weaknesses - foibles.

Disciplining /policing by anybody other than the Mods will not be accepted by members. For the reasons I have stated above, the self - appointed police will not 'be seen' to be fair and impartial. The key words are 'be seen'. In a given case, you may well have set your prejudices aside and judged fairly (although even that cannot be guaranteed), however you will be seen to have judged unfairly because you had participated in the discussion, expressed contrary views, possibly had a run-in with that member in the past. The test here is not whether there was actual bias but whether there was likelihood of bias. If the system of dispensing justice does not inspire confidence, it is worse than useless.

Nobody but Mods are authorised to maintain a black-list, flag or discipline others, call them offenders or warn them. I say that the system of private policing proposed in this thread would itself be a violation of the forum rules. I suggest we drop this.

OUR community is like putting together 1st grade student to 10th grade with NO TEACHER !

so it is obvious that DEVs are gettin irritated by nOObs ques.

i was (am) noob here, joined jan-12 first rooted in may-12 & still learnin hard

slowly every noob will learn not to post garbage/repeatative threads/comments

Devs pls be kind (as u r now)

i request not to "apply" somethin like this .....
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
@athani,

You do know what the little triangle is for at the top right of everyone's posts, right? It's there for a reason, afforded to ALL members to utilize, and help make the moderators job easier. It would be impractical to believe that the moderators could keep up with every post made by each member all the time. That's the reason the "report" button has been employed by them, and by us as members. There a reason you don't 'see' it being exercised by others, it doesn't work that way. I've reported members, the Devs have, other Seniors and Members have as well. It's encouraged for us to use, all of us. Now, as far as the list goes, if I were to open a thread asking, "Help me unlock the bootloader on my A2", wouldn't it be apparent to you sans trial by jury that I was guilty of not searching? This isn't modeled around being a" n00bhunt", but rather a call to attention to those who refute the need to search and follow/understand the simple rules. Now, I'm not saying I'm completely on board with this proposal now, after giving it much thought, but everyone should realize its not as distinct as "mob mentality", and should realize the idea isn't as such...
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
I've made my opinion known on this and wouldn't like to add anything.

About Report button, I'm speaking from personal experience. Some people are quick to pounce upon others rather than report posts.

PS: Even if you're completely "on board with the proposal", you don't have to be apologetic. I can live with people having a different opinion.

Thank you.

"So called devs"

WTHeck....

Who is a "so called dev"? I would really like to know who you are referring to... ALL of your A2 dev team busts their AZZ's in here to get you guys good things, and when I see things like that, it is nothing but an insult for all the long hours I and the others have put in here.

So.. why insult your dev team what does that gain you in this?

I would expect at least an apology for that comment to ALL of the devs in here.

Who are you? What have you contributed in here?

I have contributed a ton of stuff to this community, I am pretty sure that most everyone in here would not want me to take a hike. I think you should take the hike buddy.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
You "think" that I should take a hike? Alright, keep thinking that I should take a hike :)

Frankly, you need a break. All that "developing".. "busting azz"...has stressed you out. Go into the mountains...breathe some fresh air....clear up the mind....and come back for us.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
All I asked for was an apology for the comment and you asked me take a hike.... what were you expecting. You have 7 devs who put in 10 hours a day working on android work for you guys and you make comments that we are "so called devs". I think I was very nice, I could have been a total azz about it.

@athani

Thats not cool, not a bit.

You know WE should respect those who are sparing their time and effort for the community, Jim could have easily walked away from this place when he got his shiny new SGS III, but he didnt, and he is THE most prominent dev over here.

Yes you can differ on his views and opinions but, you cannot disrespect somebody here. First its against the XDA rules, then far more worse, it doesnt paint a good picture of you.

XDA is a place where you either 1. Teach or 2. Learn

Be a teacher if you can, but you hafta be a learner at all times, be a good student bro.

No ill intent and i dont have anything against you, i am against the things you are bringing to the table here.

Came here in peace.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Thank you!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
I beg to differ, Sir. I have not shown disrespect to any Dev here.

[Motorola Atrix 2] :
Do you have a book Jim, LOL :p

If at all i am taking sides, it has to be 'respect'..

If you can go up a bit to read my earlier posts in this very thread, i was opposing the ideas presented in here reg shame list and all. I still take a stance against it, i was there to support a noob when he was being bashed for posting 'something irrelevant' as it was thought by other senior member. I take things on their merit, may be working for the judiciary made me like that, but thats how i am.

Thread Closed

And thus, this thread is closed.

Fair warning, I will consider infraction points, and this will be to all that deserve it. So when it comes, please don't be surprised.

And this goes for everybody. User or Dev.

I've given warning before, and most of you have seen it.

People, you have a "report post" button. Use it. And for some of you, well, you have been told before. For the rest, grow up and learn to read.

But no, instead it becomes an imaginary "e-penis" competition. Which in this case, you all lose.

When I get time tomorrow, I will filter out "who started what" and do what needs to be done.

There's no need for this, so I can't imagine why, anybody would start something.

You also have PM. Or did you forget that option. Thinking of assessing a "stupidity penalty" on top of it.

And, if any of you think editing your post will keep you hidden, No, We have snapshots.

Hi, i wanted to change dpi on my nexus s, but after i did it with an app, i rebooted, and the screen is compleetly black. The stock recovery is working, but i don't have a rom on the phone to install and solve the problem. How can i put a rom on it? CM or stock, i don't mind! please help me, i'm not very expert.
[Nexus S General] serafo:
you just have to follow a guide about root.. use a program like toolkit or android sdk (the first is easier) unlock the bootloader flash the rom with one of this program or with a custom recovery (is there a command to do that)..

you have to do all this in fastboot mode (power+vol up)

I hope this is what you wanted;)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WillieWonka1985:
i attempted to flash a kernal posted last night via cwm. unfortunately i made a mistake and the sgs4g boot screen never continued to cwm or the kernal boot animation. im using ubuntu 12.04 and have heimdall but i cant figure out how to load a firmware version. im trying to load the hawk zip or otherwise known as kd1 cleanup. Do I need to load anything into the heimdall firmware package? it keeps saying xml is missing from the package. I am able to load a pit file from the kd1 cleanup but the start button never gets illuminated. if there is anyone who can help me i will be extremely appreciative as im really new but have a good mind for learning about these types of things. and so you know i isnt a total loss i am able to get into download mode and heimdall detects the device. im haveing the hardest time finding the pit files needed to flash this and im super frusterated. is there any one that can help?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
"Yes" ;)

Oh, you actually wanted to know who could help you and what to do? (Sorry, too much coffee this morning.)

First off, I just use the command line options for Heimdall, or one of the one-click installers. In general, an explicit PIT file isn't needed for flashing a kernel.

I'm not sure what the "hawk zip or otherwise known as kd1 cleanup" is or what you're trying to accomplish. A search of the forums has me thinking it is something from a year ago or so? Where are you trying to go? There may be a much easier path these days.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WillieWonka1985:
i have been scanning the op and q&a threads all morning with no luck finding files that heimdall will exept. i have even tried google search with not much information of help. maybe someone knows of any downloads i could find that will work ubuntu and heimadall. im stumped.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WillieWonka1985:
oh thanks i will go to there general and try the one click but not sure what i was doing wrong before...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WillieWonka1985:
basically i soft bricked the phone im trying to at least get back to stock but i cant find any OP's for using heimdall with ubuntu.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Use the one-clicks linked above. I use them regularly on Ubuntu.

i have got the command line to work the files flashed via heimdall but still cant get it to boot past galaxy s 4g screen. now i am worried.

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Flash the one-click, not something else. That will return you to stock. Read the instructions, you run the one-click using java -jar <one-click file> as I recall.

If you were in Froyo originally, you'll have to deal with bootloader, but take one clear step at a time.

im trying to flash using ubuntu i dont have a windows pc readily available. the link you posted says windows only. i cant find any operation instructions using the linux os. are you familiar with it at all? or should i get to a windows pc before i try anything further? really sorry for bugging you. im just stummped i am so sorry i was looking right at it but it wasnt seeing what was in front of my face i owe you an apology and probly a little cash if possible. im a dum-dum and your the boss. i just thought the windows only part pertained to the whole OP. me dum-dum you the boss.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Trying to brute force your way will only lead you to having a expensive paper weight.

Read the directions given on how to run a heimdall one click. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP TRYING TO USE THE FRONTEND, you have no idea what your doing and aren't listening.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WillieWonka1985:
im not using frontend i realize that wont help me so to keep from either smashing my phone against the hard wood i will ask if there is even a way to unbrick using linux. and if so is there a thread with instructions for heimdall on ubuntu for unbrick either its right in front of my face and im just too blind to see or there is no thread for linux's os ubuntu 12.04 . there are two heimdall programs for ubuntu (heimdall fronted which im not trying to use) and the other( heimdall "command line" which im also getting no results from) i have been looking for linux ubuntu instructions for sixteen hours now im feelin pretty stupid and i dont know what to do next other than find a windows pc and try odin. but like i said im feeling dumb and dont want to ruin my phone if it isnt already. so just tell me if its a lost cause this heimdall ubuntu version. thank you so much i know your getting irritated with willy so im sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
This is the instructions to run the one click. You need java installed. It will open a gui and at the bottom of the gui like in this image say flash. You just need to click on flash.
