I see there are more threads that are simular to mine, but the last post was placed 28th of june.
There are so many posts on this forum so for me it's very hard to find what i need.
Is there somewere a thread where i can find a top 10 of most used roms or best roms, or maybe there is someone who can tell me which is the best rom to use?
I want to use sense but if there is anyone who can convince me not to use sense, let me know.
Maybe a top 10 "non sense" and a top 10 "sense"?
Wrong section!
And discussed many, many, many times.......
So please use search option.....
Well, it depends what you are looking for. My favorite roms are leedroid and defrost. Busy using defrost and its awesome. Try them both.

Thnx for telling me, but that doesn't help me.
If you gave me a link to the right thread would be nice.
Anyway, i hope there is someone else who can help me.
So, I've been lurking around and starting to post, here.
I don't subscribe to any threads, but I should probably change that, because:
I CAN NOT FIND MY POSTS.
Where is the option to view my posts? I thought that was S.O.P. I checked FAQ, and didn't see the info.
Sorry I'm so darned stupid. I can find my posts through my hero cdma xda premium via profile, but that app seems to really drain the ol' battery.
I thank you in advance for your infinite kindness and wisdom.
Hi permazorch,
Firstly, welcome to XDA. You can typically view the threads/posts you have created in your public profile.
If you click on your username, you should be redirected to your user profile ... in case, this should be a direct link to it:

HTH,
Thanks! It's appreciated.

also when when you log in across the top is a menu the user cp is where you can add your avatar and signature (the things where you put those pesky comments like "I miss my mind the most" welcome to XDA
dang you really didnt know huh
No, u r not the biggest idiot.
I made my first post 5months after creating my account. All that time i made few unsuccessful attempts to create insane threads in the development section. Xda was my first online forum and now im glad that i joined it.
Things keep changing mate....
my first few days i was confused by the whole "no posting in development" thing because its xda-DEVELOPERS.com i thought every forum was developers, i came here off google and didnt know about the development SUB-sections.
it happens. theres bigger idiots around.!
under your profile is the easiest way
Forums can get hard to get used to, especially since all are different. Best thing to do when your lost, is what you did.....ask away, you may get some flamers, but ignore them, and someone will offer good advice.
I use the xda app only. We have the participated tab. It shows the threads you are part of with the most recent contributions. Is there nothing like that on the webpage?

As a bigtime noob still trying to figure this place out, I'm glad you asked the question.
using a us cellular desire and need to figure out how to make a hotspot. I have checked the market and cannot find an app for this. I am running froyo and do not wish to upgrade to gingerbread.
andy ideas
thanks
Please change the title of your thread to something specific if you would like help

since I can assume by your post I can assume you probably could have pointed me in the right direction but felt it was better to correct me on the post. thanks
No I can't point you in the right direction. I have a gsm desire running a custom Rom which differs from yours massively.
If you put your problem in your thread title, people who may know the answer are more likely to respond. This is not only simple logic, but also part of the forum rules. Another forum rule is to use search, so if you're still going to be cheeky about my advice in regards to attracting the right audiences, I could point you in that "right direction" in future.

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II (SGH-i777) - Before I rooted it, I had ICS installed via Kies...and found this guide - http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-ics-on-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/ - that showed me how to root it. After I rooted it, when the phone booted up, it showed the logo as normal but also GT-i9100 which is a different version of the S II to my knowledge. It also had a yellow triangle at the bottom. The phone worked great, but was very confused as to why it showed GT-i9100 on the boot. However, long story short...I tried ROM manager which I regret to this day. It screwed up the phone resulting me into looking through these forums to find a fix. I did on this forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619571 - It solved my problem and got the phone to turn back on. Only this time, I still get the GT-i900, a different animated boot screen that has never been there before - and now a non-functioning back arrow soft key. Only my menu, home and search icons work...not the arrow. I assume this is because now the phone now thinks its a GT-i9100 and not SGH-i777 - Question is how do I go back to SGH-i777 so i can start ALL OVER AGAIN!
I will preface by saying that I'm still a noob, but i think i can offer some preliminary guidance.
First off, your problems were caused by three separate things you did that were incorrect. Using anything from galaxys2root is a bad idea. In the short time I've been here I've already seen countess posts from people who brick their phones by following the instructions there. On the future, stay away from that site and stick with xda.You will have a lot more success
Using rom manager is also a terrible idea with our phones. It doesn't work well with the I777. There are also lots of posts here from people who have done the same thing.
Finally, the thread you linked where you found the solution to your problem is from the 9100 forum, which is a different phone than the 777. That is why your back key doesn't work and why your phone won't boot. The rom you flashed is for a different phone.
It sounds as if you simply need to start over but using the right files - but don't trust me on this. you need to wait for more knowledgeable users to make sure you don't do anything to make things worse. The problem is you posted in the wrong forum, so not sure the right people will see this...should have posted in the I777 forum.
I'm not completely sure what the proper etiquette is at this point to get a fast answer. I'd suggest one of two things: ask a mod to move your thread to the I777 forum or better yet, delete this thread, and post on the I777 q&a forum (Make sure you delete this thread first however, because double-posting will get you in trouble here )
Good luck. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here, one of them should be able to help you.

I appreciate the help. I will re move this thread and re post it if the solution 'I think" im on does not work. If you could do me a huge solid though...send me a message explaining galaxys2root. Thanks again
Not sure what i could explain about galaxys2root. i first saw the site as i was googling on ways to root my phone. Their "recipe" approach to "just click here and you are done" left me feeling uncomfortable because i wanted to understand what i was doing to my phone, and they don't really explain much. So, i moved on, found xda, and stayed here. I have seen countess posts here at xda from people who did follow the instructions there and then came here asking for help because they ended up with bricked phones. Yours was the second or third such thread just today!
I'm sure if you search the forums here for galaxys2root you will find lots more info.
I hope you solve your problem!
This is a serious question. I'm not trolling, flaming, or anything else you might think.
I really don't understand how to get a question(s) answered on this site. I don't care how much or how little information I give it is never answered. I will google my questions, search the forums, read and reread developer threads and even search youtube to try to find my answers. When all else fails, I post here. Never have any of my questions been answered.
I would really love some advice on this considering I'm a noob at most of this rooting stuff and I have some questions. I don't want someone to hold my hand or anything like that. I just want some helpful links or advice.
If anyone could tell me how I should word my posts so they would be answered I would be so appreciative.
Again I am not trying to be rude, I have the utmost respect for the mods and developers here. I just don't know what I am doing wrong to never get questions answered.
I'm sure you can understand how frustrating it is to come home after work and look back at a post hoping for an answer and nothing is there other than a locked thread. I don't want to be that person that annoyingly keeps reposting something over and over. I just want to learn what I am doing wrong, fix it, and hopefully help others out when I learn from my own mistakes.
Moved to About XDA.
Well the key is to post in the right section, if its a device question post in that devices sub forum so other users see it.
Its possible if your asking in a low activity sub forum then it will not get answered

Just my suggestions to get your posts answered:
1. Extensive searching before posting:
Maybe you are not the first one with this question or issue.
Search for other users posted the same or similar problem and look if they got propper answers.
2. If you can not find anybody else asked the same or similar question, then search for descriptions/explanations which might solve your issue.
Maybe the answer is already there (even without an explicit question).
3. If neither the question nor the answer can be found, then you have to find the proper place for posting your question.
Is there a forum for your device, then go to that forum.
Is there a dedicated Question & Answer (Q&A) sub forum, then go there.
Is there a thread for asking / even for new users, with many posts and the last post is from today, then go there and post your question there.
This step is very important, as you have to find a place where your post will be seen by some experienced users which know the answer.
4. Now let's check the contents of your post itself.
Please think about the xda rules (no offence, no personal attack, English, etc.).
Describe as much as possible, what might be useful for others to think about the possible cause of your issue and a good solution to fix it or to give your the right answer.
What device/model, what app(s), what firmware version (ROM, kernel, modem, etc.), what was before, what is now, what have you done, what has happened in between, etc.
Maybe not all those information is really needed to solve the issue or give your the answer, but are you sure that it is not relevant?
If you are not sure, then provide this info.
Be polite, stay as "objective" as possible ... most of the time, emotions are not needed to solve the issue
Maybe you say something like "I would appreciate any kind of suggestion, even if it does not help to solve the issue for me.", or "Thanks in advance.".
It's a kind of motivation for other users to be confident to answer your post, even if they are not absolutely sure that it really can solve your issue.
Good luck !

Notes for help seeker :
1. Make the situation SHORT and NEAT
2. Highlight the main problem
3. provide info by point form like me
4. always provide related keyword for SEO , so that similar help seeker will come to your thread and share their experience too.
After looking over your posts I see you seem to have alot of issues related to your camera and SD cards.
Providing a logcat is the biggest help. As for one rom you used. The MIUI rom it is best to check the MIUI site as no development is done here for it. Only simple ports.

To follow on from what the others have said, if you read this guide by saywhatt, then you'll know exactly what to include in your posts to get the answers you need.

Who's talking about me
Some issues are quite complex or involved, and very few people will be able to answer them.
Camera is often one of these things unfortunately. In some ways, the silly, often-asked questions get more answers than the "real" ones. The fact nobody else has had the issue means nobody else can likely help...
A shame, but hopefully you can get it sorted out!
Don't get me wrong, but why don't you consider this as an opportunity to learn more?
Try learning what causes the problem, what is supposed to happen, why does it happen, why doesn't it happen...
Take this as an opportunity to learn more...about android, about hardware, about kernels and roms...
Not saying that it would be easy...
Hopefully, you may be able to do something about it...
And who knows, maybe XDA would get lucky with a new dev on the block
