[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Sticky Clean Up Initiative

​

Preface and info about OP:

When the question was posed in the Pub, there were responses in favor of cleaning/updating the Stickies.. So, here is the discussion and a poll to see if the masses agree.

As of today, 4/15/2013, I have posted about the Development Section (as it has the fewest and addresses one of the concerns (Wiki's)) as well it will serve as an indication if we should, or shouldn't move forward with the other section Stickies as well..

This should give us enough to get the conversation started and answer the above question..

Statement of Initiative:

We all know there are advantages/disadvantages of a Sticky Thread… But it’s a good way for regulars to give reference to new device owners, and as such, we should be pointing them to the appropriate/updated information without having to cross reference various posts, go on a hunting trip, etc.

There are a few that shouldn't be interfered with. (i.e. [Official] One Stop FAQ Thread)

So this is simple; all we really need to do is review what has been currently “Stuck”, evaluate it, update if we can, or simply nominate for removal…

Keep in mind – These had merits to be “stuck” in the first place. So what we suggest to the FSM’s needs to have justification.

This is an initial write up for discussion by us, for us, placed here for your comments for editing:

(I’ll be linking the Google Shared Document for open editing. This OP will serve as an original should chaos ensue on the shared document. We’ll see how that works out.)

Development Section Stickies

***Roll-Up Sticky Thread*** Stickies found here!​

So let’s discuss the link’s in the Roll Up..

The first four links stay, we need to start under the line with the Wiki’s Link.

The first link General Device Wiki was last updated on Feb 8th, 2013, but obviously need some care and maintenance. While there is some good information here, it is out of date.

The Wiki’s Database links (see link above) are extremely out of date, some links are no longer valid and it’s the general consensus to use the well-established Repo links by RWilco12.

Do we Roll-Up the Repo Threads or leave out? (I vote that we leave out of the roll up. Less steps to point new users to find, plus the answer “Look in the Dev section stickies to find them” is the normal response)

[TUT] What Is Nandroid And How To Use It [Complete Guide] [VeNuM]

​

This is an obvious good subject to talk about. Even though CWM is the example used, is this still current enough to apply to all recoveries?

[TUT] What Is ClockworkMod And How To Use It [Complete Guide] [VeNuM]

​

Again, should this be updated, is it appropriate, etc..

[HOWTO]Recover From a Bad Flash - Now automated

​

Should we place Crawrj’s thread in the Roll Up or leave out in the open? (We already have Tut’s in the Roll Up. Seems appropriate to place in there with them)

RWilco12's Repo's

​

As noted in the content on the Roll Up Stickies, should we include RWilco12's Repo's in the Roll Up? (I vote that we leave out of the roll up. Less steps to point new users to find, plus the answer “Look in the Dev section stickies to find them” is the normal response)
