THIS!:D

Ok so since we are venting about this and that...honestly why is it so hard not to change or delete that signature? I mean I am all for donating to the developers of the application, but I could care less where you are posting it from. (Yes, I know I have a picture in my signature...:rolleyes:)

What is funnier is when someone puts their whole biography in it...for example -

*Sent from my [device] using the [carrier] network because I hate the [other carrier] network and its P.O.S. [device]!

Lets be real here, there is a 99.9% chance that we will never meet...do you honestly care where I post from? I mean if you want to get personal...I can update my TAPATALK signature to say -

*Sent from my HTC EVO using the Sprint Network while I am on the THROWN at TACO BELL because I just ate a huge BURRITO and it didn't settle good with me :D:D:D

Oh and as far as your "cherry-poppin" goes...that was sort of gross :eek:

Thats great!

First thing my join date may be April 2010, but I've been coming here since around summer 2009. Up until April I didn't feel a need to post a question or feel I had enough understanding to answer questions(I still don't really).

One thing I would really like to see would be a thank button. It's pretty obvious that some members go way out of their way to throughly answer questions. I think that could eliminate some of the clutter of 30 posts thanking one ingenious post. Instead it would be a little box underneath the good post with thirty little names.

Something else I thought up that I haven't seen on other forums(but if anybody can do it XDA can!). What I'm thinking is to put a button next to quick reply on every post. Have the the button be labeled "vote to minimize" and after like 10(or any number that the powers that be decide)votes have that post be minimized.

By minimized I mean like you would only see the top colored part of a post with the persons name, time stamp of the post and number of the post in the thread. Then just have a little button there also to read the minimized post. And have that post be omitted from the search feature.

At this stage in the game, it's kinda scary to look at a rom development thread!

[EVO 4G General] skantman69:
I agree with the OP 100 percent. There are a lot of dicks on here. This Site has evolved quite nicely over the years and because of the rapid growth there is a lot of rookies on here these days. I think there should be a special members only section to approved devs only so that they can develop these roms in private then move them over to an open general forum once they are ready for the masses. This would solve a lot of frustration in the development process. This Site has turned into a very large and profitable business for someone and should be ran that way.

[EVO 4G General] Tilton53:
I actually like this idea a lot, especially the part about it not showing up on searches. Maybe we could limit the button to only members who have reached a set level of posts too.
[EVO 4G General] neccoloup:
I wish I could get through one thread on this forum (and any other) without someone saying the words "epic," "fail," or "win." That's seriously the most immature juvenile bull**** I've ever seen on the internet. Talking like a 4 year old video game player doesn't make you seem funny or relevant. Learn to speak/type properly and coherently, for the love of God.

It's also painfully annoying to be searching for an answer for something only to have 3-4 threads with my question take up space in the search by people jumping the gun to post "there's a search feature, use it."
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
15 posts seems about right for someone to say something like this.

Come tell me this when you've got 200+ posts. Trust me, you'll be jaded by that point as well ;)
[EVO 4G General] neccoloup:
I don't need to post a lot since I am just a user and don't hang out on forums devoted to consumer products, I come here for the news and updates so the post count is irrelevant and doesn't have anything to do with my experience dealing with communication on the internet.

Oh, add "pwn" to my list as well, I don't even know what the hell that means but that garbage is everywhere. I hate to think how people are devolving in society when the such nonsense enters the lexicon.

Edit: Didn't mean for that to sound so cross, I just find postcount penis extension concept to be incredibly annoying and fruitless as well.
[EVO 4G General] toenail78:
i dont know what all is being said cause i just read the original post but imo a lot of the attitude wouldnt be at xda if it wasnt so full of lazy ppl asking questions that have constantly been answered.. im not even a rude dude, honestly im the nicest guy i know and i know a lot of ppl but i can say it it very annoying seeing posts that are filled with the same questions because no one ever wants to use the search function.. i can understand the brutal honesty that comes with xda, xda is the big dawg of forums, if u dont want to use the search maybe its best to hit up some of the newer android forums where everyone is just nice and dont mind doing the dirty work for the lazy folk

Tell the lazy newbies like it is! ;)
[EVO 4G General] skantman69:
I agree with you on the post count. It's bull**** to assume something about someone based on post count. I know some folks on here that can develop circles around the current devs that are here and I bet they have maybe 25 posts. Just remember, assumption is the mother of all ****kk ups.

[EVO 4G General] toenail78:
i have to agree, ive been doing the forums for as long as i can remember regarding different hobbies that i have and for some reason u have these guys with xxx amount of posts that act like they are gods and know everything.. post count means nothing to me.. they dnt seem to realize that 1. ppl may have other forums that they take part in as well.. 2. some ppls families and jobs are more important.. 3. they just may read the **** out of the forums.. cause some may be surprised to know that if ur like the third example ur posts count doesnt go up when u dont ask repeated question, hell u actually learn to fix problems before u even come across them..

Many people use a signature that states they are on a mobile as an indicator that they are out of the office.
[EVO 4G General] chandlerw88:
Yeah my thing with signatures was I just don't care, everyone has one on here I didn't see why it mattered to anyone
[EVO 4G General] poolphreak:
Hmmm..... Interesting statement. I'm trying to think of situations that would apply in, with the default Tapatalk sig and posting in forums, where probably 90% of all of us are complete strangers to each other.:)

My comment was about the Tapatalk app sig. Which is used to read and post in forums. Are you saying they have the Tapatalk sig in their posts, to help the forum members here, and any other forums they post in, know they're out of the office, when they post?:confused:

or are you saying that people use some kind of sig in their emails sent from their phone, to let fellow co-workers/friends/work contacts, know they're out of the office when they send the email?

I understand the email situation, but I did not comment on why do people use sigs in emails.... I commented on why do people use the default sig in Tapatalk when they are posting in a forum.

Does the fact that someone posted in a forum, using their smartphone, or whether they used their Desktop PC, their Notebook, their Work PC, their neighbor's PC, the Library PC, or anything else for that matter... help add to their post in ANY way? Or does it kind of start annoying you after the 600th time you've seen it?:D

Some it bothers, some it doesn't, some don't care one way or the other, some don't even notice. I was just giving my opinion that I was in the 1st camp. I gather you're in the 2nd camp?

This post viewed on a Asus Monitor and was composed on a HP full-size USB keyboard on a Desktop PC with a MS cordless mouse using some kind of keyboard palm rest that sucks. :D
[EVO 4G General] cpiddy:
Just ignore it if you find it worthless. And just because you post alot of bull**** doesnt make you any better than someone who has posted 15. I read alot on these forums and rarely post because I honestly have nothing to add. I appreciate all of the work that people are doing and for people who arent assholes when I need help or clarification. Get over it deuchebags, people will always repost and repost and repost. Just ignore it.
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
some people HAVE to repost, repost, and repost because the same damn questions get asked over and over, because many people don't read anything.

i don't care if someone has 3 posts or 3000 posts. i've seen brilliant people with post counts<10 helping someone out, and i've seen people with 500 posts ask really stupid questions.

use the search button. that's all i would ask.

i don't know. some days i can deal with it, and be helpful. some days i get frustrated. i suspect we're all like that.
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
Same.

I'm like a woman on her time of the month. Some days I'm cranky and flame. Some days I'm nice and breastfeed the newbies instead of making them find out on their own.

Have you seen how many threads got moved to the Q & A section? Most of them are the same questions over and over again. Yet, members are not supposed to get upset about this? :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
I do what I can to help the signal to noise ratio for search engines sake but God I get infuriated by people too lazy or inept to find the info themselves. It isn't hard and ultimately if youcant find it and/or don't understand it you probably shouldn't have it and will just further dilute the SNR with followups.

I try to be helpful but usually, in the end it just ends up being counter productive ultimately.

...so I'm jaded...
[EVO 4G General] cpiddy:
OMG, lets cry about it.. Im sorry, do you pay some kind of subscription to be a part of these forums? No, you say members like this place owes you something. All it takes is 5 seconds to join. You are going to continue to get new people here everyday who have no clue as to what they are doing. So, since everyone isnt perfect like you(and trolls boards ripping on NOOBS), I believe you need to get a life and just over look all of these repeat posts that anger you so much, lol.
[EVO 4G General] toenail78:
or you can learn to use the search function.. or go through a couple of pages in the QandA section and just read the topics to see what may or may not have answers that you are looking for..
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Really?! because at the top of the forum are rules. They clearly state that people need to "SEARCH". And for your information, I am not crying about it because if you didn't notice...the general section has nothing but "MOVED TO Q & A" section arrows.

I don't think myself as perfect and I do not troll after noobs because at one time, I was a noob myself. However, it only took one time for me to get flamed to learn my lesson.

[EVO 4G General] natefuhr:
And so this topic degrades as well. I fancy myself a perpetual lurker. I read and read and search until I hit a brick wall before I offer up a question.

I agree with the points that post count really doesn't indicate anything more than the time that you are able to get to and interact with this forum. I rarely post because my job doesn't cater to me being at a computer screen and I mostly lurk via the xda app or a badly formatted version of the site on my mobile browser.

Excessive signatures of sniper cats or the extended history of what mobile devices you have used since 1992 or some poor attempt at clever humor also do not help the forums and are akin to slapping 20 bumper stickers on your car stating your religious, political, social beliefs.... I really don't care.

Typos often happen by accident.... bad spelling, bad grammar and l33t speak is a choice....

Every time I see .... bump.... I picture a lowrider rolling down the street with some unintelligible "music" blaring froom it... we see it... and we are probably ignoring you for a reason that can range from 1) there is an answer already and you need to find it on your own or 2) we don't have an answer and we are currently trying to find it ourselves... in the meantime, do a few searches and check back in later.... like a couple days later not 2 minutes later.

Learning how to do things the hard way will make you appreciate when someone develops "the one click" method... this is much like *****ing that jiffylube took 25 minutes instead of 10 to change my oil.... I've changed my own oil...25 minutes and no cleanup is a wonderful thing...

I get it.... searching sucks sometimes and there are days that I can't sort through all the crap to find an answer.... but making a new topic with an opening post of "OMG IT'S BORKED... HELP" will net you more ridicule and flameage than assistance... post your repeat question in the appropriate existing post... if anything the original poster my find that his/her resolved issue isn't resolved or someone that just found a fix might be able to help.... I have seen topics go 50 pages and there were duplicate questions riddled in it.... but most of the vets here get that things move fast and will give you a quick and short answer followed by a pointer to the post with detail.

Quit trying to fool the language censors you a55c10wns....

I think I'm done for now....

Dude you spend way to much time on here. I agree with you but man you need to go see what or where your woman is. if you spend that much thought and time on one post there is bound to be some straying. This is a website for christ sake, its not the F'ing sims or any other stupid virtual world where you need to be this pissed about stupid ****. If someone that has some authority around here would listen and make a private section for all the real devs and any other men that wear panties, this would be a better place.

wow, a lot of angry people here..

For me, I really only get aggravated when a 1 or 2 post newbie comes to a forum like this to leech software, without even searching for it first, or contributing ANYTHING what so ever...

Asking for "general knowledge" is what these forums are all about, but, if all you want to do is leech software, than you gotta "earn" that right first, with some helpful posts, some links, or some posts that actually help someone..
[EVO 4G General] natefuhr:
I am confused.... I am hoping that this is sarcasm.... but how does having 20ish posts denote that I spend too much time here? And how did my woman get dragged into this? (Not that I have to tell you but she is sitting next to me playing on her own Evo)...

And still you agree with my rant....

Pissed... not at all... just a rant...

And since we were all here on a post specifically designed as a rant post I added my 2 cents that ended up being a dollar... but I am not about to apologize for being well spoken.

great tip, been looking to get ext apps2sd in froyo for a while and kmobs and the rest of the team refuse to share.

after doing this you can flash any kernel. this should be included in all froyo roms
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Nice job per usual britoso
[Nexus One Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Awesome post...
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
Nice job by summing up all that in one thread.

-- nevermind --

So I see you did not solve the boot.img issue. Just wanted to warn you that I rapidly put mine on rapidshare because I thought it was just for you -- so it might be limited to 10 downloads.

-- nevermind --

I also wrote a set of only 3 scripts that seems to do the job:

- one that mounts the ext partition if exists, at boot (boot.img + 10a2sd)

- one that can put app2sd on or off (xbin/a2sd)

- one that can put dalvik2sd on or off (xbin/swap)

- and also one for auto zipalign at boot (zaab)

yeah... that maked four. basicly a2sd takes only 2 scripts :D

All also inspired from Darktremor's work (from a2sd-2.7-2 from another thread).

All those scripts are on my github repo.

See if it works.

Thanks to Darktremor, britoso, Cyanogen and all of you who made it possible. So much free space now!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] agriff:
Thanks for the info.

Is this a different method of apps2sd than implemented on Paul's MoDaCo r19 with apps2sd? If I have that installed already do I need to go through this process? Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] jamaa124:
i used leo's custom spare parts and it enabled a2sd for me. i'm running frf83 deoxed. i tried partitioning my sd card via amonra and via terminal on my mac, and i couldn't it to work right. i'll try your method method later on.:cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
partitionning via amon_ra did not work?

unlikely...
[Nexus One Android Development] jamaa124:
no dude, i couldn't get it to work for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
Very unlikely.

Is your sdcard ok? I mean, really?

Because even with darktermor method you ll need to partition your sdcard..

Maybe try another recovery..
[Nexus One Android Development] jamaa124:
my sdcard is fine. i thought that there was something wrong with it at first, but there was nothing wrong with it. now, once installed the spare parts that you include in your roms, everything seems to work fine for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
Ok good.

So it means you sdcard has been partitioned.

Im interrested in your case: how did you knew partinioning did not work on recovery, then with your mac?

In fact: what did not work how did you know and have you any error message?

Thx
[Nexus One Android Development] jamaa124:
i couldn't tell that there was a problem from the bootloader or from my mac because everything seemed fine. if i encountered any problems while trying to partition my card, i would reformat the entire card and start over. i followed all of the directions...from xda and various youtube videos. if you go under disk utilities on a mac, it'll show whether or not your sd card has been partitioned. everything seemed fine. i didn't notice the problem until i went move few apps to my sdcard and that's when i realized that the button was still dark. i think that i may have messed up using terminal, somewhere along the route. i'm guessing that your spare parts must've filled in the missing line for me. everything is working fine now.
[Nexus One Android Development] shorza:
Will this work for the frf85b build?
[Nexus One Android Development] billp:
does it work with AOSP 2.2 FRF83?I pushed the boot.img and the A2SD version 2.7 Update 3r1 but it can't mount the ext partition
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
I built the boot.img for FRF83.

It won't only work with that boot.img...

What have you tried?

What are the errors?
[Nexus One Android Development] billp:
I followed the instructions above. here's the result...

I renamed the boot.img to app2extboot.img to recognize it

I remind you that I use AOSP 2.2 FRF83 and NOT LeoFroyo or Kang-o-rama. Is it compatible or not?
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
I could bet you did not create your ext partition under Amon_RA's recovery :D

Your filesystem contains unsupported flags.

Try again with Amon_RA's: ext2 then ext3

Market issue

I am having a huge issue with the market when i use the ext3 a2sd, i have had a ext3 partition since i had my g1 and everything worked fine, but every froyo A2SD old style, i go to market to install a app and it downloads and get stuck at installing. When i go to applications all of my apps that are on my ext3 partition are constantly "computing" it is really getting on my nerves i have tried 4 different roms and can never get past the market issue....

anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
This is a well knowned issue of FroYo. Your apps are installed right?
[Nexus One Android Development] billp:
Finally you were right, thank you! I have a last question. When I download an new app, where does it go? To internal memory or to ext? I suppose the first... right?
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
With FroYo it now depends. Apps declare a "preferable" place.

But if you have app2sd it is automatically on the sdcard.
[Nexus One Android Development] EMERYfan1988:
all apps were failing, but my ext3 partition was set up with gparted before b4 recovery images could do it, and for some reason the froyo a2sd didnt like it! so i had to backup everything on my card and what not, it was a huge hassle! but its working now....
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
Try to not use user friendly alternative programs to format the sdcard.

There is a lot of options available for the ext file system. Recoveries are doing it the right way.
[Nexus One Android Development] EMERYfan1988:
Fo sho, My SD card was partitioned before there were recoveries that could do it, hehe and gparted was the best thing.... but anyways its working like a champ now.

but it was really getting me for a couple of days! glad to finally get it all workin!
[Nexus One Android Development] tkirton:
Your rom isn't compatible with ext4 (the extents message gave it away).

Repartition your SD card for ext3.
