[About XDA developers] semperfidelis316:
Sorry if this has been asked, I swear I looked but I can't find an answer.

I'm wondering if it is possible to report an entire thread for multiple off-topic posts or multiple non-development related posts within a development thread. I found instructions on how to report an individual post but not the whole thread. The reason I don't report all the posts is the sheer number that I would have to report. If I were to report an individual post, do the moderators go through the entire thing to check for more, or do they move on? Also, is it considered proper etiquette to PM a specific moderator in charge of these threads with these concerns?

Thanks.
[About XDA developers] Deadly:
There is no batch mode to report multiple posts at a time..

But, you get a text box in next page to type after clicking report button.. type page numbers or post number that you wanted to report..

The moderator will check them then.. and PM is not usually preferred by mods I think.. because I have read most of the time that they would prefer "report" way.. because more than one mod can get to problem this way..

Anyway, I'm not a moderator to answer the other questions.. but, I think they look up to that discussion which you reported ends in that thread.. if they feel next pages are not the reported discussion.. then they won't go through all of it.. if there are too many pages ahead.. or they may, as it depends on situations I guess...
[About XDA developers] PG101:
That's not really feasible.. imagine a thread with a 1000 pages... U don't expect a mod to go thru them to find OT posts.. best is, as it is, to report the post from where the OT starts so that the mods can effectively go ahead and grab such posts, thereafter

Hey Moderators,

Need your help.

I have made a thread and I request you to please Delete all the posts of the thread Except for the Opening Post(OP) Post.

Here is the thread link:-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2095906

please lock the thread after Deleting the posts[Except OP]

I will post here a request again to Re-Open the thread after some hours.

Actually My xda friend King ACE wants to add his mods to the 2nd and 3 rd post of the Thread but they are taken by users so i request you to delete all the posts except OP.

King ACE will then take 2nd and 3rd post after the thread gets reopened(I will post here when to reopen the thread)

You can report your own post/thread, with the above note. It usually gets actioned earlier this way.
[About XDA developers] Ace King 34:
Yea I am going to Do Just that

thanks :)

Hey Respected Moderators Please don't delete the posts of my thread whose link I gave you and also do not lock it.

I will report my Own thread as said by a.cid.

Thanks for the co-operation.
[About XDA developers] K.A.:
Reporting takes time. I once reported a thread, got looked at after 3 days.

Also, I'd like to request to not delete all the posts. Would be better if 2 of my posts there could be moved in 2nd and 3rd.
[About XDA developers] Jonny:
A lot has changed with moderation recently as been discussed before, we are all in teams now (Samsung international, HTC international etc etc etc) so reports are likely to get actioned a lot quicker. I've yet to see a report last 24 hours in my team... ;)
[About XDA developers] K.A.:
I know, but I reported a thread once and it took atleast a couple of days before i got the 'your report is being looked at' PM.. not complaining, just meant that if a moderator saw it here, process could be quicker.

Hey Jonny

I sent a report of my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2095906 to the moderators.

I wrote that I want all the posts except OP deleted and then the thread locked.

I don't want the thread to be locked

all i want is that the posts except the OP be deleted.

Last 3-4 of my 6 post reports have been dismissed without even getting "review"ed (I checked back the post by clicking on "report post" button and it doesnt even show "this post has been reported" notice). What could be reason to this? I want to think that it is not personal...

They were reviewed. Sometimes moderators take no action, as they think that none is required. It's not personal, don't worry about it :)

Hmm. A user took my MOD from my MODs thread, changed updater script and wrote his own username and shared it as his own... it does not require any action? I though it is stealing.

[About XDA developers] Eleo:
Hello. I am NXTeam member and we develop ROMs for s4, note3, and now for s5 too. In first days, ex-NXTeam member karkasss opened a thread on s4 forum to make s4 users acknowledge the presence of this ROM. But s5 thread is still not present.

Now my question is, is it possible for us to make a new thread on s5 development forum, but only for announcements? So as to disable posting of users on that thread. Like discussions will still be on our note3 thread, but seldom, some announcements will be given by OP of thread on s5 forum (like next version will fix this, this post can be used for that and etc). So, is it possible to open a thread where posting by users is disabled and only OP can post announcements?

It will be very good for us, because otherwise we will have to deal with 3 threads at once. Our report checklist already inludes "phone model" part, so when smth will be reported, we will know which device does user own.

[MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION] - any way to make it so when I log in it stays on 2010 theme and not default to 2015?

This wouldn't be such an issue if it didn't take forever to switch, like 45 seconds or so.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
That won't be possible the way you describe, sorry. When threads are closed, they are closed for everyone, even the OP.

Even if we accept to let you create a thread which would be closed (as you ask), you would have to ask a moderator to open and then close it each time you have an update to do.

Anyway, threads are meant to stay open for dev discussions, this is the spirit of XDA, and with proper info (description, D/L links, kernel source, etc.).

I'm not sure it will be better for you. Dealing with a thread about different devices is almost always confusing, you know better than me that members often forget to give details about their system when explaining an issue, and it will add a huge risk of misunderstanding, even disputes....

It'd be better to have 3 separate threads, one for S4, one for Note 3 and one new for S5. You will have to take care of the 3 but annoucements, bugs list, download links, procedures, etc. will be clear for everyone in the end.

Hi there

Quotes are used a lot on XDA so you may agree with my request:

I'd like to quote only the text I have highlighted.

Example with the post of Wood Man

Today if I use the "Reply" button, I'll get this quote:

However a good quote has to be precise. If I want to answer him about a part of his post then I have to select the text I don't want in order to remove it before posting.

It would be easier to:

1. Highlight the part of his post which interests me (eg: "Anyway, threads are meant to stay open for dev discussions, this is the spirit of XDA, and with proper info (description, D/L links, kernel source, etc.)".)

2. Select "reply"

3. I write my post before the quote
[About XDA developers] woodman:
This is a brillant idea! I hope it would be possible. :)
[About XDA developers] orangekid:
Why don't you just delete what you don't want quoted in the reply window?

[About XDA developers] woodman:
I assume he already knows we can delete what we don't want quoted in the reply windows since he did it in his previous post... The purpose of his request was to allow an easier way of quoting a part of a post.

I've tested to clear cache, cookies, etc. and then to log out/log in again and the XDA 2010 theme stays on my end. I use Chrome.

So, the theme you choose should stay even after log out and browser cache cleared...

[MENTION=278202]the_scotsman[/MENTION], any ideas?
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
I can just ban him, then we won't have to worry about his theme at all :good:

I can't remember how the theme setting is stored? It's not in AdminCP. I thought it was a cookie config but I may be wrong.

Have you tried forcing it with the URL setting? I find this often sticks when you click a link with one in it by accident, even when it overrides your own setting.

https://xdaforums.com/?styleid=21

21 - default 2015

22 - 2015 dark

The old themes are still there under 20, 19, 18 etc.

Just Use that link above with the number of your choice, and it'll apply the theme. See if sticks using that method.

Hi

Is there a way to only follow the posts of the author of a thread? Like being notified only for his/her posts?

Thank you
[About XDA developers] orangekid:
No I haven't tried that, that might be the way to do it.

Not sure how wood man is not reproducing it, especially if clearing cache and cookies. I use Firefox maybe that's it.

But URL might be my ticket
[About XDA developers] woodman:
I will try with Firefox later.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Tested with Firefox, I still can't reproduce your issue [MENTION=1698146]orangekid[/MENTION], the 2010 theme stays even after cache & cookies cleared.

Additional info: after theme changed to XDA 2010 within Firefox, I've opened Chrome and the theme shown up was XDA 2010. So I think the theme pref is definitely XDA account-related and not cache or cookies related.

Weird for you...

I have been looking for official rules regarding updating apps after another developer.

Apps in question no longer work on newer Androids. I've sent my changes to the developers in question, but they don't respond.

What are the recommended steps to take here? Are there official rules regarding such stuff or does it need per-case review?

In one of the cases, the original developer has been banned from XDA for a reason unrelated to the app in question, so I couldn't contact him, what then?
[About XDA developers] xunholyx:
It should be fine to do that as long as you give proper credits in the OP.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
That depends on if the app is open source or not. If it's not then it's best to leave it alone other wise you run the risk of getting into a lot of trouble.
[About XDA developers] efrant:
In the spirit of the revised Rule 12, if the apps are licensed under a license that allows modification then, generally speaking, we will allow them, though common courtesy suggests that you should contact the original developer beforehand. There are also some cases that we won't. Contact me via PM, and we can discuss each of the individual apps that you are looking at.

I just surveying the list of tablet in this forum , I cannot find any SHUWI tablets .

Or if it is ,it is not in alphabetical order . SEE https://xdaforums.com/ tablet section

There are many posts throughout the forum but to complete a hierarchical listing, users should be able to find any topic under Tablets/ Brands/ Models/ and versions .

I am particularly interested to see the Chuwi HI 8 which has three versions HI8 with Z3736F , HI8 pro either Z8300 or Z8350 processor All models, I believe they are available with either Android, Windows and a dual boot version.

[About XDA developers] Droidriven:
I'd like to request the option to enter devices on our list of devices in our profile, the ability to add our device names to the list even if they aren't on the list that XDA provides. A box to manually type it in ourselves and have it entered into our personal list, whether its added to XDA's list or not. I have devices that aren't on the list but do have custom support they can use available here. It would be nice to be able to enter all of our devices in our profile even if they don't have development here.

This way it acurrately lists ALL of our devices instead of just the ones specifically supported by XDA.
[About XDA developers] Eleo:
That for sure will be abused by many users making up phones like "ma phone" "da awesome device" "An Droid" and else...
[About XDA developers] Droidriven:
True, but it can be reported just like everything else here that needs to be changed/removed. There are also ways to make it so that only devices that are actually on the market can be listed, by entering the model number and have an engine setup that checks that model number versus available device model numbers. A bit involved but very do-able.
