[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dr. Strangelove:
I understand and appreciate your point. It's just IMHO the need for a noob section means that answered questions aren't / available info isn't being reached or found by new members. I think it will become a redundant post section. You see where I'm going?

Purely coincidental I PM'd _Alex_ this afternoon (before this thread was created) asking if he was going to put the 'Kaiser Master Sticky' (as I like to call it) in this section. I completly agree with you here.

I very much agree the homepage isn't the first exposure to the site. But even if it would be, you can't really find any information there. I think the homepage has a lot of potential in helping new members. If you put general info, guidelines, faqs and more clear links to the Wiki, I think it might be really helpful. The homepage isn't really a starting point for new members as of now, but I think it might a good one.

Regarding the Wiki: I have undertaken some really modest steps in altering/updating the Kaiser FAQ. It is indeed hard to filter out the relevant from the irrelevant.

I can't help it, but the Wiki of Wikipedia could be helpful if we switched to that I think. Take the Kaiser Faq for example. The page is so long it you lose oversight. If you could use a system which includes categories, you might easier find solutions relevant to your problem, as all related topics would be found much more easier.

Just for the record: I'm only thinking and spreading my humble opinion. My posts are not intended to be preachery. So please forgive me if I sound that way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
Well there is nothing to stop them from looking for info in the other sections. Just when posting novice questions this would be the place to go.

While I don't discourage any updating to the homepage (I think it could use a facelift), the problem comes with how the traffic is driven to the site. You can make a page as informative as possible, but it the user doesn't visit it then it doesn't serve its purpose.

I'll leave it to you and others to best handle the Wiki. Personally, although I use Wikis, I don't like the idea of working on them. I tend to be a perfectionist and a little bit of a control freak. I am perfectly happy sharing my ideas and having others express theirs, but when it comes to the wiki concept I cringe. I don't like the idea of putting all my time to set something up the way i think it should work to have someone else come and change it all around. I feel that collaboration should be done prior to the finished product. And although information can be updated in a living document, I usually feel the "too many cooks" syndrome in Wikis.

Opinions are all we are after, no offense taken to anything.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dr. Strangelove:
What I was trying to say was: We will not be able to stop redundant posts from people who don't bother looking for answers.

On the other hand, I do believe some people honestly searched for their answers, but never found them. These are the kind of posts that pose the problem. Not because they are being asked, but because I think their posting could have been prevented if we had had a more intuïtive system.

Again, all my talking about how the system is flawed etc. isn't meant preachery. When I read my own words myself, I sometimes get the impression I sound really like a samrt-ass who only criticizes rather than help. Sorry for that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dr. Strangelove:
I really understand what you're saying. That's also why I have only done some modest modifiactions. But the Wiki-concept has a lot of potential when it comes to answering simple / repeatedly asked questions.

Regarding the Homepage. Again, I really see your point. Since the homepage doens't contain any info, no-one really goes there. On this site, everything is build around the forum (ofcourse). That means new members directly get onto the forum instead of other relevant sources.

I might not be a bad idea to simply merge the homepage and the Wiki. That way you might make the homepage as the starting point for all new members. That combo could be used as a counterweight to the forum. If the homepage would be a good starting point, people might more easily find answers.

I think that if the "Kaiser Master Sticky" is put into the General thread it will already solve a lot problems...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ehollins:
That's pretty much my thoughts as well. I knew that there was probably a FAQ or a wiki or something like that somewhere on this site. Knowing that, I still wasn't able to find it and I did some poking around. There isn't anything that popped out at me. Also, there needs to be something for extreme newbs. Yes, some extreme noobs are able to figure things out, but that is after weeks and weeks of reading and searching for stuff. We need to have some information geared towards extreme newbs, have it intuitive, and have it the top sticky on the general forum.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dr. Strangelove:
In my opinion that should/could be the homepage (with Wiki integrated, provided the wiki is upgraded)

But if your idea is realised, Iwould be equally happy
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
Yes, as stated in #1) request of first post. Let's try to get stickied all the FAQ/Wikis to the top of the general forum. That should go a long way towards proving whether or not this is the major problem.

Additional documentation that gets created (by a willing volunteer) for extreme noobs should either be stickied up there or included at a high level within the FAQ or WIKI.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ehollins:
I agree. I think having a n00b/newb forum would be a good idea, but let's start with getting those threads stickied first. That will be the easiest and quickest solution.

I guess this goes back to my statement of "let's stop talking about getting this done and actually get it done".
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GeoTX:
Hi- I am brand new here. I dont even have my phone as of yet(very soon). I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents on this. I have been reading 100's of posts for about 2 weeks now. I have never done most of the stuff mentioned on here. I agree that the forum is not setup for newbies and it could benefit from a little organizing. However, when I found this place I knew I had hours and hours of reading ahead of me. After I have done the reading and obtained a basic knowledge of things then I will start asking specific questions. If people feel the need to flame me for that I could care less. I fully understand how someone could get pissed off at the posts of "how do I do so and so?" and they have obviously never read a thing before hand.

I have been through the learing curve many times with things like dishnetwork hacking, OS modifications, computer building and so on. I have had tons of peple expect me to spoon feed them all the info so they dont have to spend the 1000's of hours I did reading and testing. I have flamed many an idiot who expects something for nothing. Anything good takes hard work...period....I look forward to using the information on this site on my own equipment and contributing in whatever way I can. This site is not about "hey I want a cool phone too!" It is about tweaking and testing and having fun doing that! The "cool phone" part comes second for me...Hope I didn't offend anyone! LOL

i am a noob and honestley alot of ppl waste there time yell at us for nothing simply ignore us if u dont like what we ask you spend more time to reply than to simple scroll pass our posting. yes i was a cool kid in high school but that has nothing to do wit the issue so ppl please stop talking about being bullyed as a child. THE POURPOSE OF THIS POST IS SHOULD THERE BE A NOOB SECTION? simply say yes or no thats all
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
You just wasted all that time complaining when all you should have done was say yes or no. All you have to do is ignore us. Honestly
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _Alex_:
New sticky added, which is pretty much a duplicate of Kaiser ROM development for now.

As for true PocketPC 'n00b' guides, there are plenty of other places for that, which is why we consider Kaiser General to be the starting point for n00bs here. One of those places is linked within the sticky in ROM Development (and has been for quite awhile) and is now linked here. (Don't forget, this is a developer forum first...)

If you know of any other external resources, internal links or anything else, please contribute your suggestions in the Kaiser general sticky.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Bmaidman:
Hi, my wife's phone when searching in chrome does not provide any places when you do a web search in chrome. I.e. if you search for "home Depot near me"it won't show you nearby home Depot locations. It does however work normal if you use the Samsung internet browser which she is using for now. Does anybody know the cause of this? Is it a setting somewhere? I have cleared cache and even did a factory reset and the problem still persists.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMinerBen:
I recently flashed Resurrection Remix to my SM-G900W8, and noticed that when in the powered off state while charging, the animation changed to a more bare bones version of the battery animation.

If I could, I'd prefer to be able to see the battery percentage while charging in the off state, but I'm not sure this is possible.

I heard from somewhere that the animation was build into the bootloader, and couldn't be modified, but I just wanted to check if there was another way. If not, no big deal, just a cosmetic thing :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] M_R_M:
I am looking to upgrade a failing Note 3. It's beginning to have hardware issues.

I've had the Note 3 for 5 years now. The only way I've kept it running is with the custom ROMs from XDA. The Stock ROM was just too bloated and slow after a couple years of use.

As I understand it the Snapdragon model of the Note 9 is locked down and cannot be updated past what Samsung allows.

Will the Note 9 be useless in 3 years or will it be able to be updated by the community by then.

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Snowby123:
That is an open question, but a qualified no is perhaps the most accurate answer that could be given
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Goatfreak99:
So I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to flashing custom ROM's and such stuff, and always follow written tutorials where available.

Yesterday I managed to flash Revolution OS to my Mi 9 (with unlocked Bootloader) and using Twrp it worked perfectly.

Now today I tried to reset the device due to some Issues, and I must've accidentally deleted the ROM itself somehow, because now the phone just Bootloops all the time.

Recovery is not accessible, or I'm unsure if there is even a recovery still on it, but I can access fastboot.

I tried different commands like flashing ROM to the device via Fastboot or Mi Flash tool, but it either fails with unknown error or it doesn't progress the command.

So I wanted to ask, if there is any hope for my Mi 9 or if I just made a expensive mistake.

Any answers, tips and possible solutions are appreciated, thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Laptapper:
Did you've tried to flash system (download an unzip your first miui rom e.g. Global, eu...) and twrp via adb?

For me it was fine in a same situation.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] gogoffm:
You can download the fastboot ROM from xiaomi side, extract following from tgz file

-boot

-recovery

-vendor

-system

And flash it manually via fastboot. Welcome back to Miui world....
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Goatfreak99:
Hey thank you very much for your reply.

I was able to flash TWRP via Fastboot but when entering the command fastboot boot recovery.img it still bootlooped again and I still couldn't acess Recovery through button combination.

Is there anything I might be doing wrong or so?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Abaddon:
The only option you have now is to flash the full rom via fastboot
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Goatfreak99:
Just spend the last couple hours following your advice, but I still get abootloop and no recovery option on the phone itself.

Flashing all the parts worked but it seems like it's not really applying them?

I used the stock cepherus ROM
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] gogoffm:
Puhh, then I am really don't know. This method always worked for me. Can you make a sc of the fastboot commands you are using to flash the files ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Laptapper:
And which twrp?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] KaiseRRUby:
- Download XiaomiADBFastbootTools.

- Connect through Fastboot

- Download a stable official rom via the program

- Flash the Rom via the program

- Voila, you're back on stock

Try using MiFlashPro tool. You can download the rom directly from the app. I had this issue before and that is the only way I fixed it. Make sure you download the rom that is labeled as fastboot.

For me this one

https://xdaforums.com/Mi-9/how-to/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-3-2-3-t3912118

Was working with the system flash to start twrp.

Also I've found in this twrp more usefull options and also more partitions of the phone could be backup.

I'm now on v17 but I've didn't got the link right now.

But don't reboot after flashing twrp and system with adb command, use instead the hardware keys to boot in twrp.

If you've got a backup then you can restore it, may be you've got to flash then also magisk again.

This was the way which was working for me.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Goatfreak99:

when you flashed TWRP using fastboot, dont using reboot recovery command but use key combo, volume up/power.

in that way recovery sticks

It still doesn't work.

I have no choice but to flash the stock ROM using MiFlash Tool, thankfully it worked.

Hello. I know this may not be the right topic for which I am sorry. I need your help!

At night my mother's phone caught a bootloop (MI 9 Lite) This is a factory phone used for a month. I was looking for ways to solve the problem. The phone sticks to the MI logo and restart. MI flash sees the phone but there is an error during flash. The program sees the device but does not want flash. I have no idea how to solve the problem. Please help.

Thank you for all of the feedback, lots of little bugs have been fixed. If I haven't replied to you, I still might yet, but if not, it is because I expect to have it in the Play store very, very soon.

In other news, I have added two new criteria thanks to feedback from [MENTION=2580958]ser8210[/MENTION]:

While phone is ringing

While in-call

Also added an action for 9.0+ to 'End Call'. This means you can assign one of the triggers (like double squeeze) and enable its in-call criteria to end a call upon double squeezing. It also means when the phone is ringing, you could use the phone ringing criteria to set a Tasker task to end the call and send a text message to the caller. The possibilities are endless with Tasker. :P

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] The FlyerFly:
The side squeeze function seems to work well even with my Note 9 with an Otterbox Commuter case, but I only used it a bit. Mainly because my hands are arthritic and lighter squeeze settings seem to allow for too many accidental triggers.

The screen press trigger is quite handy though. I'll likely keep using that particular function.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Snowby123:
I have it setup that on long squeeze media plays or pauses. Pause functionality works and play does not. I also have it setup so that spotify launches on double squeeze and a tasker profile to launch Google play music triggers on triple squeeze. These seem to work well. Other than that, I have noticed since the most recent beta update music starts playing shortly after seeing my phone down on any soft surface; as if the play/pause gesture is being activated. I am assuming this is related.

I don't understand the advanced options.
