[About XDA developers] garyd9:
Then, at least for the specific example (and most examples involving "development" subforum threads), an RD starting a thread in a dev subforum should be permitted to delete replies. Simple enough. (After seeing some of the crud posted in my own kernel threads, the ability to clean them up would tempt me to apply for RD myself.)

Perhaps, as a safeguard, RD deleted replies would actually just be hidden so that a moderator could review what the RD is "deleting" (but wouldn't be required to.) So if JohnDoeUser complains that JaneSmithDev is doing something wrong with deleting replies, a moderator would be able to access the "deleted" messages to investigate. After a period of time (a month?) the hidden replies would just get deleted automatically.

I'm sure there are flaws in this as well. Even if I was a good "people person" (I'm not!) I don't think there's a "perfect" solution. I'm just trying to find better ways (with the knowledge that there likely isn't a perfect way.)
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
This could work better than simply giving a RD the power to delete posts totally. Also, this could be great to make things easier for moderators. One topic which has been discussed quite a lot previously, was the level of off-topicness should be allowed in a development thread. Generally, if the developer is happy with slight chat happening in their thread then the mods are normally fine with that aswell.

At least if the quoted idea was to come into place, the moderators would be able to easily see what the dev wouldn't allow so as to make the moderator more aware of what posts they should remove and which posts should stay.

Another way of hiding posts was already in action though.

There is/was a new system for hiding posts which was tested out in one of the Nexus forums (not sure which Nexus though) where a users post would be hidden if if received too many "down" votes. I'm not completely sure on all the details of how the test went or whether it will be implemented forum wide though.

[About XDA developers] feiks:
slightly off-topic, but still related to the original post, more specifically topic unrelated user posts ( "ETA?!?!?!" ). Why on earth can't we ( the users ) flag other user's posts as spam or unrelated ( think of YouTube's "This has been flagged as spam" message )? I'd suggest ( if that hasn't been suggested already ) to implement a similar feature to offload a great deal of moderator effort and my screen real estate from useless/offensive posts.

* This should be taken as a compliment to the post above ( "down-voting" )

You have the ability to deal with those posts right now, it's the Report button. I don't see how it's going to help the community to publicly berate anyone - that just makes more work for the moderators. You see a post you think needs attention, hit report, one of us will be there to clean it up.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I just thought of another thing.

How exactly does the "ignore posts from user" feature work? Does it make all that users posts invisible to you or what? I've never used it so I've never known how it works.

''Absolute power corrupts absolutely, but absolute powerlessness does the same''
[About XDA developers] reinbeau:
Yes, it makes that user's post invisible to you. If I recall correctly you do know the poster posted, you just don't see what was said. I found that more annoying than the posts ;) Oh yea, and you see quotes from them.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Effectively a blank post then, but still showing their picture and username?

Is there really any need for such a feature though? I ask that because I don't think most people know it exists and even if they do, if there's the need to totally ignore someone's posts then it's generally because they're always trolling and that can be dealt with by reporting it.

''Absolute power corrupts absolutely, but absolute powerlessness does the same''
[About XDA developers] reinbeau:
No, it's just a one line thing that notes there's a post you've chosen to ignore.
[About XDA developers] garyd9:
Fine. You win. After finding a broken RD application link, I found another one that seemed to work. If it's approved, it's your fault. ;) (Wait, that doesn't mean I have to be nice, does it?)

Take care

I was going to root for garyd on this one but then saw he s pointing to my modem thread in the op , not to mention he's been trolling my so perfect Read only Memory thread so .. well *U** him ...

lol .....

Seriously .. Gary for prime minister ..:angel:

I think some of the stuff that happens to some users and not to others comes form the fact the mods dont knw who they re dealing with .. somehtings are acceptable form users with no infractions or for a first offense , or from an RD , thats one of the benefit of being recognized *... its human nature and one doing this for free shoudlnt be blamed for acting accordingly .. (in defense to the mods)

I think as XDA is becoming bigger , it needs a real dev forum .. ie you can only post in there if you have a certain title , everyone shoudl be able to read it , but not everyone shoudl post in it .. simple as that .

Hello world !!!

I've created a project of a new kind : The RecoverX Project

The goal of this project is to gather ALL the recoveries for ALL android devices in ONE tool which install them on the devices. RecoverX is coded in C++ thanks to QtSDK and allow to install a recovery on more than 150 different devices !!!

You just have to select your device and the recovery, click "Install" and RecoverX does the rest !!! It's that simple ;)

This program require different prerequesties, depending of your device

- Wether you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the recovery partition (and fastboot drivers on your PC)

- Wether you need root access and usb debugging activated (if busybox is not installed, RecoverX will ask you the permission to install it).

This program have been published on XDA News : Here

Here is the list of supported devices :

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zack208:
My friend has Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and she is living in KSA (Saudi Arabia). Somehow she inserted SD card in sim card slot. The card stuck in the sim card slot. She gave the tab for repairing to the shop where she bought it. They removed the SD card from sim card slot and called her that the slot is damaged and they have to buy new slot which is not available alone. They have to buy the motherboard in 900 Saudi Riyal(which is very costly). She refused to change the card slot. Now my question is, is there any other cheap way to repair the sim card slot. She need to use 3G sim?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] MacZzang:
Well if your friend has god soldering skills then she can just simply take the tab apart and seek out the damaged part and proceed to fixing it. Its not that complicated if u know what your doing. I've soldered my damaged sum card slot on an old s2 before and it worked perfectly. Good luck

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

And another thithing 900 Riyals is most likely gonna be a used mother board. They will take your old one and fix it and resell. And the cycle goes on. I know exactly how these guys work especially if you're from Jeddah and this is share3 flysteen that we are talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gingerboy92:
i think you should just find someone with a good soldering skill and some knowledge in dissembling the tab. changing the whole board because of a damaged slot seems more like the shop is just trying to rip you off.

Just flash in recovery, MOUNT SYSTEM before doing it!

This is not the project butter, more like a package of tweaks that will smooth the ui and some programs

I noticed a huge improvement in system ui as in application! fluidity is definitely better!

For me using Aurora_5.0_u9 works like a charm, Facebook and other apps running a lot smother..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
Can you confirm that it is flashed correctly and it is not a placebo?

Can you please check these 2 things:

1. is the last line of the /system/build.prop file the following

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

2. do you have an adreno_config.txt file inside /system/etc?

thank you!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] websorcer:
Yes, i have the txt file. You have to mount system in order to be correctly patched.

See the original post for more details.

Seems that the author removed it...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I'm testing this, and it really seems to make the UI smoother. There's only one small mistake after installing it, it creates an aditional build.prop file with it's contents being only "/n". It can safely be deleted.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
Boot speed is the same?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes. This doesn't include init.d scripts, those are what slows down boot speed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ezet:
I haven't tried this but the correct line on the updater script in order for this to work is

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/system");

or this

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

rest is plain placebo :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Other way to install is just to mount /system in CWM before flashing the zip (tested by me :D)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I'm having problems with some apps, after flashed project butter. I'm using go SMS pro(not the latest, but 4.30 version) which doesn't work any more. I have a lot of apps(~200), and except go sms I faced this problem at all -made by me- apps, which are some tutorial apps and 5 small apps. All of them are 2.2+ and work fine on 2.2, 2.3 and ICS rom(I've test them). The problem seems to be the same in all apps I tested. Appears only a black screen, and seems that something works(because If I tap on the screen I can hear the sound which indicates that something pressed), but nothing change visually.

So, I'm thinking that is some graphics problem which affects apps compiled on JB previous android platform(one of my apps is compiled with android 4.0 platform).

I don't care for my home made apps, because I can try to recompile them, but I want to keep using GO SMS pro 4.30 version, which has the offline SMS backup future.

Can you figure out what cause this problem?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rj2k:
Can this be installed in Elora 1.11.09? Or is this ROM already optimized/'butterrized'? :silly:

I didn't see any changes in build.prop nor the adreno file in /system/etc, therefore I decided to flash the zip again, now with the system mounted.

Now I felt good differences in smoothness and apps looks like load faster but lost wifi completely.

Tried several reboots but no wifi.

Had to restore a backup. What can it be?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
This isn't nowhere near to Project Butter. All this does is disabling the software rendering path via renaming the libGLES_Android.so file + some build.prop tweaks.

It should be just called as an another tweak package.. Since it's not project butter :p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Djuganight:
Buahahahahah :eek:

Where is project butter then?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
Project Butter is a feature in Jelly Bean. This is just a package of tweaks, which are not relevant to Project Butter at all. It requires a lot of library changes to be enabled in ICS, this has no modified libs, it just disables one and edits build.prop.

And would you recommend the stock ICS rom or one of the custom ones? He would like ICS but a stable one. Not too concerned over updates as long as its fast and stable!

I have my vivid overclocked to 1.78 using the kozmik kernel that came with it. Make sure he s offs his vivid though cause its alot easier to install roms and stuff,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gotzaDroid:
If like you said, it won't cost him anything, then yes, it's worth it. I would recommend using wajee's desensed ROM v1.6 with holics 0730 kernel. Wajee's ROM has been 100% for me since I changed kernels. Maps work, MMS works and no stupid HTC sense.

With all that said, I will be jumping ship to the CM 10 ROM once the in call mic issue has been worked out. Good luck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tw1sted247:
Just Looking for input pros and cons to the following idea please.

I Pre-ordered my Gn2 through Bestbuy right when they opened on the morning of the 25th, I literally walked in the door as they opened and asked about the availability. The first person in the mobile section had no clue, the 2nd actually did a search. At first she couldn't find it but then after hitting refresh a few times she had it pop up in the system. Then she placed the pre-order right away, So I know I was literally the first person not only at that store but in my general area for the phone. So anyways to the point, I had this on pre-order and in the meantime of waiting I came up on some cash so I just went to my local Sprint store and Purchased one with my upgrade. NOW the Gn2 is available at Bestbuy and reserved under my name yet I am still under the 14day grace period with Sprint. So I could return it to Sprint with no harm no foul(no restocking fee and upgrade stays intact) and get $300 cash in hand. While picking up the Same Gn2(same color) at Bestbuy and drop it on my Bestbuy card(which it is pre-ordered on).

Now what are the Pro's and Cons to doing this for anyone who has purchased mobile devices and activated through their carrier at Bestbuy.

The MAIN pro I can think of is the insurance plan at Bestbuy not only covers more but when using the insurance you get a BRAND NEW phone off the shelf at BestBuy where as with Sprint you get a Refurbished or returned whiped phone.

Now I spoke with BestBuy and tried to cover most of my bases and found that If I choose to which I would after I activate the device I can go to Any ol' Sprint store after that for any reason(as if I purchased from them in the first place).

The only Con I can think of is I run the risk of getting a phone that could have an issue like with the S-Pen or something when the one I currently have is Flawless. And with that if I need to return it I might have to wait due to limited availability considering they just launched it today and will probably be limited for the next week(s). Granted I would obviously deactivate the current one in store at BB then activate the new and try and sit in the store for a decent amount of time and run through trial and error to attempt to uncover any issues in the meantime before I head back to Sprint to actually physically return the item.

I am planning on heading in today so any input as for Pros and Cons would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madsquabbles:
anytime you exchange your product you risk getting a bad one in return, but you could also just return it again. some of the funky spens just need to be adjusted. i posted on the GN 10.1 forums on how to do it.

the only real con you have is waiting in line to return the phone and pick up the others. worst case in my area it would take a few hours to do. you could always call and issue an rma, they'll give you 30 days to return it after you receive the return kit (at least they've done it for me in the past) and it doesn't affect your upgrade status.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmoreboy02:
$35 restocking fee at sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrnamster:
I'd go with the option that saves you money and time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tw1sted247:
Restocking Fee is only for an exchange not a return. If you are returning the device and want out of it, you get 100% back via the way you payed (credit card, debit, cash) and your upgrade remains intact(if you used one which i did). When you are taking it back because you don't like the device and want to swap it for another device say a gs3 then you pay a restocking fee. Which is pretty stupid they are saying if you want to return it and take your business else where you get a 100% refund w/ no penalty attached. However if you'd like to keep your business with them and grab a different device keeping the purchase in house they will charge you $35 restocking fee..

I double, triple checked the above information in store and with customer service because I was thinking of pulling the above mentioned scenario in OP. I mean hell if I can come out on top with the cash back in hand then pay before 6months with no interest or penalty for early pay off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] vader4633:
You would probably have to wait 30 days for sprint to put your upgrade stays back into the system so Best Buy could sell it to you at the upgrade price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blankrubber:
Just to let you know, take your receipt and phone into Best Buy. You don't have to purchase it from Best Buy to get the insurance!

Fyi, I used to work there =).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madsquabbles:
yes, do this. otherwise they'll need to call sprint to PM and you know how long that wait can be. your receipt will be proof of the lower price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Next1776:
IMO it seems like you've already made a good decision. Your phone is paid for... Your done, no payments, interest, nothing hanging over your head. I'd consider all the time you will spend getting back to where you are now. As they say, time is money! Good luck.

I found out that I'd need to buy and install some sort of capture card in my PC to do this but is there anyway to connect my phone directly to my TV and capture what I'm watching on my TV? Maybe this should be moved to the regular question section.

Depends on the game but call of duty mw3 has a built in recorder and saves the entire game for playback then if you like a segment you can upload from the game for sharing. Hope that helps.
