Hi everybody,
I wonder why a thread of mine was closed in one of the forums and I really have no idea what I did wrong and even who to ask what and why? (The thread is in the ROM development section of the Topaz forum, concerning cooked ROMs that support handwriting).
Are there seperate admins for each sub-forum and if yes, how can I find them? Or who else can I ask?
thanks & cheers

Any mod will do. You may have either posted warez, links to it/them, instructions on how to get them. Or simply posted in the wrong section altogether.

Thank you for the quick reply. I understand the warez rules and all. But this question... in the ROM development section:
Is there any decent cooked ROM that either supports the official HTC handwriting update for the Topaz or even has it already integrated?

Maybe someone else asked something similar and you are getting penalized for not searching before posting. That is the only other thing that I can think of.
oh dear, if thats the reason, I'm simply to stupid for this forum I searched and poured more than 8 hours yesterday over posts, especially the ROM post, which all have well over 2000 replies. So I know that people are asking about handwriting but the question usually just goes under in the ROM threads....
Nevermind, will post it in the admin question thread where it probably belongs. Owe you a coffee though, let me fix my paypal issues first
Hi tesla33,
Which thread? I'll have a look to see if there was a "closure" reason added. It's possible it may have inadvertently been closed during Spam cleanup by a mod that had multiple browser session/tabs open.
Cheers,
Hi hilaireg,
thank you so much for looking into this. I'm feeling almost embarassed now for all the trouble but I was kinda intimidated:

More than likely it was closed because it has nothing to do with rom development. The rom development forum is not the place to ask for specific roms or features. It should have been asked in the general forum.
The Mod should have given you the courtesy of moving it for you or at the very least a short explanation. I have from day one, had a problem with the quick unexplained trigger finger of many mods on this forum. A little common courtesy would be nice.
@denco7:
Agreed. Going to "chalk" it up to an honest mistake made by the moderator who closed it (not me).
@tesla33:
I've re-opened the thread and moved it to the General section. I see no reason why the question can't be asked . The Admins are working on the Search function of late to see about improving it ... cause at the moment, I've found needles in haystacks far sooner than answers.

As far as the searching, once you are in a thread that you think may have some relevant information for you, you will see a button that reads "Search This Thread". Simply put in your search parameters and choose to get "posts" for results. This will make it a lot simpler than going through 2000+ posts.
As far as the transcriber, there are cabs out there since lots of Chefs actually leave this option out due to lack of space in the rom. Let me know if you need help finding the cab.

Thank you, thank you and thank you
Again, I'm not complaining. I was actually considering where to put it and thought "hhmm, I'm asking about custom ROMs wit a certain capability, so better put it in the ROMs sections"
I understand how incredibly difficult it is to maintain a forum of this size and activity (I was once a Diablo2 Battlenet Mod ) and I appreciate the work you all put in there. I probably wouldnt have made this thread if it was my 400th post... after a while you get a feeling for where what goes and also for the search cloud and how to find stuff. But imagine if a newbie comes in here and wants to find out if his new Topaz is an ARM or a SH3 because he/she wants to download the Total Commander Beta... (ok, well maybe this is not the forum for people who dont know what hardware they are using)
I promise I'll behave in the future
Thank you again for sorting this out for me, very much appreciated
P.S.

Understood. But with threads this big, lets assume that somebody asks in Dutty's ROM thread if it supports handwriting on page 100 something. You cant be 100% sure that if the question was answered it contains the word "handwriting" again. So you do have to read to the nect 150 pages to see if somebody actually answered the question (Nobody did, I should know)

The transcriber apps never seem to work as well as HTC own software. I did try some (calligrapher etc) but the results are less than I expected
Ok, I really shut up now

I am actually talking about the transcriber itself, not calligrapher or anything else.
Good morning,
slight misunderstanding here because: dont ask me why but HTC did not include a transcriber in the Topaz ROMs

I hope I also fall into that category
Am I the only one who finds it a bit annoying to scroll through page after page looking for apps when 70% of the threads are about themes?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the work that you guys do here at xda! Although it would be easier to find the good stuff if themes and apps were separated imo
Sorry if the thread is misplaced.
Exactly! I'd like to have all app infos in one place.
I don't understand why people using themes but that's another case.
I'd like to see a forum for all themes and apps requiring root and another for all un-rooted stuff.
What's the point. No one reads or obeys any of the rules anyway. People just post what they want, where they want.
An example is this thread. It should have been posted in the Q&A section

RESPECT
10char
Multiple sections with no one to police them .
Apps are likely to be posted in Q&A Themes in dev anything in anywhere .
If users are to lazy to search then why should they be spoonfed .
jje
but naturally u would ask a question about themes and apps thread in the thread? cause i personally wouldnt of thought to look in q/a for something like this. atleast this way people who may of thought it will see it while looking round on the thread? i think apps and themes having their own separate thread would be good. why do i want to see apps when im looking for themes? or why do i wona see themes when im looking for apps? i think its a great idea. thumbs up

Totally agree with your points. I think it would be easier to find topics that way!

What posters should do is put either APP or THEME heading at the beginning of each post .

When I created the thread I saw that someone had created a similar thread in a different forum. It was placed under "Themes and Apps" and it hadn't been moved so I thought that it was a good place.
And in the bottom of my post I apoligize for eventual misplacement
On the first page where you see all the forums, themes and apps are separated for Android. Why wouldn't all the subforums have the same design?
And yes people should have [THEME] and [APP] in the topic, and many of the posters actually do this. But how is that helpful in this matter? The problem for me isn't that I click on threads and find the wrong stuff, it's that I have to scroll through lots of stuff that I'm not interested in at the time.
Regarding search, do you mean that I should search for everything? How would I find new stuff? I can't guess what people name their apps
I'd like these subforums separated too. I look for both, but never at the same time. The apps seem to get buried under all the themes.
I don't think the thread is in the wrong section, it doesn't really have to do with the phone itself, but the forum, and this section of the forum.
Now ontopic, I also find it a bit fragmented to see the themes when I want the apps, but then the same thing happens with other subforums too. Personally I would like a separate subforum for apps and one for themes, but it might increase the unwanted clutter.
i put the simiomns 3.5 on my wifes wfs and the only issue is the bluetooth dont work but i installed the very same rom on a friends and i keep getting network errors and it is very glitchy. please help with some good stable roms that work on metro pcs. thank you

So if you were to be so kind as to contact a mod to move this to the Q&A (Question and answer) that'd be awesome.
Because. this. is. the. wrong. section.
Now I'm sure you're new, we all make mistakes but PLEASE:
1. LOOK BEFORE POSTING
2. POST IN THE RIGHT SECTION
3. DONT LIE
For number 3 you lied by not checking the box when you are creating a new post saying "Is this a question"
Okay, enough raging from me.

Screw that idea. Wrong section = no answer until it's in the right one.
answer... so it can be closed and moved
MetroPCS... you have the following three choices that I know of:
Stock (the basic RUU [with or without update(s)]) -> Go to Football's thread
I made a lil stockish rom (think its over on AndroidForums)
Henry09 has HenseMod that works with MetroPCS
Other than those, other roms may work, but I wouldn't count on them being a daily driver.. SMS/MMS or something will give you difficulty sooner or later.
I will also say it is my personal recommendation to NOT install ctmd with HenseMod.. repartitioning has screwed up so many MetroPCS's data; that I choose not to go into a rant about it (yet I have supported them the best I can).
That's it man... all I've seen. Yep Simon's 3.5 is an evolution of JMZ's 3.5, and it is the ONLY 3.5 I've seen on the CDMA side.. there may be/probably will be bugs as both of those devs (as well as I) are with VM USA; plus its a port.
Ok that's all I got.. pack it up and move it to general.
Regards,
Rob

Correct me if i am wrong, but that is just so DEVs/Themers can put their screenshots into that "fake screen" to show off their work in a "cooler" fashion then just posting a screenshot.

Exactly, these .PSDs are document layouts/template files for Photoshop. No idea what OP is trying to do with them exactly, but they sound kinda confused about what they have downloaded...

No problem. Happy to help clear the fog
Well, as topic says Is there any good collection of XMODs? It seems there was one in the villainrom forum that isn't available anymore. Not searching for any mod in particular, but just maybe there would be something I (or anyone else) missed, as they are spread out everywhere.
