[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Attention all new XDA members and E4GT owners. First off, welcome to the community. Here are some great links to start with.

Getting started on XDA

Forum rules

You are a noob on XDA

Here at XDA Developers, we welcome users from all walks of life. We were all new at some point and we understand that you may be overwhelmed by the vast amount of information available.

I cannot stress this enough. READ READ READ! If you are still unsure about something, read the original post and the first few pages of whatever ROM/MOD/Tweak that you are interested in trying on your device. Your question may already be answered in those first few pages. Don't feel like anyone is attacking/flaming you for asking a question, usually in that scenario we have already answered that question many times and it is available for everyone to read.

Google is your best friend. Search for whatever you may be looking for with keywords relating to the topic you are looking for. Excuses like "I don't have time to search for that" will not be tolerated and your question may be ignored. We might just give you a link to lmgtfy.

Forum categories and what they are meant for. The names say it all. There are also important threads known as stickies in each sub forum. I highly recommend reading these, they are full of great information.

General

The general sub-forum is meant to be used to discuss general topics. Such as news relating to the forum you are viewing, upcoming ROMs, and off-topic banter such as McLeary's Pub

Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is where you can search for questions that have already been asked and solved. If you encounter a ROM specific issue, this may not be the best place to ask your question. If you are having trouble with an app or a program such as Odin or ADB, this would be a great place to ask your question.

Android Development

This is where you will find ROMs, mostly Touchwiz and a few modified AOSP ROMs. There are also tweaks for Touchwiz based ROMs that should be posted here. Do not create a new thread to ask a question here.

Original Development

This is where you will find mostly AOSP ROMs which are built from the source and are uploaded after they have finished compiling. The only exceptions here are original development such as tools which make development easier or tutorials for developing kernels, Calkulins EL29 since this was the original custom ROM for the E4GT. I think it should be in Android Development but I have no say in whether or not it should be moved.

Themes & Apps

This is where you will find discussion about various themes and modifications for your custom ROM. You can also find tutorials for various mods that change the appearance and functionality. If you find a nice app and would like to share your find with the community you may create a new thread here. App discussion is okay.

I'll update this periodically. I'm done for now. Hope you have a better experience after reading this. Good luck and enjoy the awesomeness we call XDA.

If you have any questions or need help with something, feel free to PM me. I will do the best that I can to help you. I am almost always online or checking in frequently.

Be careful... graydiggy is always ready to layeth the smacketh down on some noobs.
