[MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5867243]Megaflop666[/MENTION], very well said, both of you. A little elaboration on the "Take a look at that user's post and thanks count" - generally speaking, the less posts you have and the more thanks you have, the more reliable you are. For example, if a user has 2,000+ posts, but only has around 100 thanks, they might not be as trustworthy as a user who has the same amount of thanks, but only 300-350 posts.

Another great indicator (thanks again [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION]) is how long that user has been a member. If they joined in Nov 2014, they might not be the biggest expert yet. However, if they joined in 2010, perhaps, they might be much more reliable.

One more factor to consider is that the Thanks Meter hasn't been around forever - I think it was introduced in 2011 (?). Therefore, if a very helpful person joined before the Thanks Meter was put into practice and made 1,000 helpful posts, just because every post that was helpful didn't get thanked doesn't mean it wasn't a great assistance to another user.

Please realize that I'm very widely generalizing here. If you are very reliable, but don't have as many thanks as you think you should, don't worry about it - I understand. :)

I have also seen a lot of people who have low post and thanks counts, but have been members since 2007; but just come here to read and learn; give some really solid advice lately. There are many indicators.

Just don't blindly believe everything you read here. It is the internet after all. :p

Sometimes it best to wait to see if another reply tells you "don't do what he said"!

Gah! Having trouble finding codename for device.

Trying to build Cyanogenmod for my device (O+ 8.37), but I just can't seem to find the codename for my device! My device is not well known, so searching the Internet does not work (I have tried, trust me it just doesn't).

ro.product.device=Oplus
ro.product.board=O+_8.37_Android

It's not these, they have uppercase letters.

# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=huaqin72_we_iba_jb3

It could be this, but I'm not sure. Can someone help me? I have attached the build.prop for examination.

Is it possible? Does my bravia engine, sony good stuff etc. will come back after relock? Sorry for my bad english.

My question's had an answer before but i wanted to ask around a bit.

Is this the method for changing to a custom Recovery or a custom ROM for Samsung phones?;

1) go into recovery mode

2) erase data

3) wipe cache

4) wipe dalvik cache

5) install custom Recovery .zip file

or install custom ROM .zip file

6) reboot the phone

Is this all correct?
[General Questions and Answers] :
Yes, that is all correct. Those steps will work for installing a custom ROM and/or a custom recovery.

3 questions about rooting

Hi everyone

Months ago I rooted my asus fonepad cg 175. Before rooting everything was just fine but after that...

1. My "phone" application stopped working... When I touch it, it says contact asus. So I had to use another application which is called dw contact and dialer. Also "contact" application has the same problem

2. I by mistake deleted the phone app I guess, so the signal just gone away, I know, that was s stupid thing that I did, but Luckily I had a backup of the application, by installing it, the signal came back, but as u may guess, this app wasn't a system app anymore. So when I did a reset factory today, it just wiped out, and guess what, I dont have signal again, and I dont have that app. So what should I do?

3. When I create another user via setting, if the screen be locket by pin or pattern or anyother way, there would be no option to choose a different user, but if there be no lock for example, swipe to unlock, the option would appear! I found a way by using tasker, but it worked for a day, then Everything got messed up. Is there any other way to do so? Bcuz if I erase credential storage, then all my vpns will be deleted, and I dont want that to happen. What should I do?

Thx in advance

I need help with 2 things. 1st off, after installing a custom ROM, my fingerprint scanner stopped working. I uninstalled the ROM & went back to stock because the fingerprint scanner is my absolute favorite feature. Well, it still doesn't work. I have since flashed another custom ROM without any luck. Is there anything I can do to get this working again? 2nd thing, I forgot my Private Mode password & there is no way to reset it, like by answering a security question or something like that. Any ideas of what to do? I'm using the N910P running Semper Fi ROM now. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
There is a ROM index for your device here.
[General Questions and Answers] ikillcans:
still rooted?

So am I still rooted even after the factory reset. And can I run that rom by just hitting update off of SD card?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Some devices unroot after a factory reset, some don't. Easy fix though.

Do you still have the superuser app? If so, check that the binaries are installed, and you are rooted. If not, install SuperSU from the play store, install the binaries, and you are rooted. :good:

You'll still need a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM to install the ROMs of course, but yes, put it on your ext SD and flash in recovery.

I didn't realize you were bootlooped. I didn't go that far back on this thread. Yes, you will probably need a computer. I am not familiar with your specific device, so I don't know of any button combinations to get you into bootloader or recovery. Sorry.

RCA Pro10.1 Tablet

For some reason I can't seem to find any information on the RCA and how to root/manage the device in anyway. I was wondering if maybe someone could please direct me to a forum that could help me. Maybe a forum with a device running 4.4.2 Kitkat would help, but I don't know anymore. I used to be very tech savy with all the android stuff and I haven't had time since my son was born. Thank you in advance for any help I receive.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
you've seriously got to stop dishing out help. You just throw random answers out there and i've seen several circumstances where you've given bad advice. I understand you're trying to get your posts and thanks up but throwing out bad advice isn't the way to do it.

Did you even bother to look and find where he can get cf auto root for his device and offer a link?

If you want to help people, great, but please do it in a manner that actually helps them.

kingo root which can be found here .

Works like a charm on those RCA tablets. I just did a RCA 7" yesterday. Takes it a little bit, so turn your screensaver on your PC to like an hour and turn your devices display timeout to max.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Download either TWRP or CWM onto your computer (make sure the recovery is made for your device). Rename it to recovery.img. Put it in your fastboot folder and start ADB.

Then enter this command:fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You now have a custom recovery.

I just downloaded a cwm for my device. its renamed recovery.img now how would i put it in that fastboot folder?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Sorry, I forgot how new you are to this. The link I provided was for flashable zips, not img files.

You'll have to rename it to what it was, or change the name to something you'll remember.

Open the zip and extract the .img file, then rename that.

Drag and drop that into your fastboot folder using your PC's file explorer.

After that, enter fastboot and use the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command.

OR....if you can get into recovery on your phone, place the zip without extracting anything (change the name to recovery.zip, not recovery.img) and flash it in recovery by clicking install.

Please ;_;
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
That's like going into a Chinese restaurant and asking what the best dish is. There's a ton. Try a bunch. Try them all. I've tried maybe 25 or so ROMs on my Nexus 4. If you ask my opinion, my favorites were Mahdi, Omni, Carbon, Dirty Unicorns, BeanStalk, SlimKat, and the one I've "landed" on and have been using for a few months, LiquidSmooth. The thing is, most of these ROMs are very similar to each other (and are in fact often based upon other ROMs, with added features). They borrow features from each other quite often. Some pick and choose and try to remain as minimal as possible, others incorporate all they can to give you maximum options. We can't tell you what the "best" is, because your own personal preference will differ from everybody else's. Try a bunch out, find out which features you like, then choose the ROM you like the best, has the most developer support, etc.

Pro-tip: Use Titanium Backup to back up all your (user) apps, then create a flashable .zip (in "Batch actions"). This way you can easily wipe your device, flash a different ROM, then flash your back-up and basically have the same phone but with a different ROM, but without the hassle and tedium of re-downloading everything or doing a manual back-up restore.
[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:
Ok.

Do the menu and back buttons ever work on custom ROMs?

They pretty useful buttons, so why make a ROM where they dont work?
[General Questions and Answers] skontar:
In my opinion the cyanogenmod team makes very good roms and dont flash the nightly builds if you want the most stability! :D
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
The best ROM I ever used on my S3 was CarbonROM. TONS of customization options. And they are nightlies, meaning that they do an update almost every day to add new features, and take care of any bugs. They have a very active community on Google+ where they also have links to download the ROM, plus give advice on any problem or issues you may have, and where they share themes and icon packs and such. I highly recommend it.
