Hi there,
I apologise if this has been asked before (if it has can someone please redirect me to the relevent request?) but this is something I think would be nice to have for the XDA website if such a thing were possible to implement: searching for keywords within just one thread. Think about all the threads we have in here for numerous custom ROMs, themes, kernels etc where there are lots of people browsing and posting in said threads. As you probably know they can fill up quite quickly the more popular they get, which can make things harder for people who want to know whether a particular issue they have with a custom component (e.g. WiFi issues with a custom ROM, missing icons in a theme etc) is only apparent in their scenario or whether it's a bug of sorts which a number of people are experiencing. This I would argue is made harder still by the new 'iron fist' policy I've read about on this forum, which I understand is in place to basically keep the forum clean from rude/offensive posts, so-called 'trolling', and possibly repeat posts for things that have been posted about already (is this bit right?). I know that you can narrow down your search to only select sub-forums but even then you might also get similar posts from other threads within that sub-forum(s) which might not be in the thread you're looking for (e.g. it might be in a thread for a completely different ROM).
I can understand if something like this will be too complicated to implement from the forum admins' perspective but I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone didn't think of it before.
Thanks for reading .
like this?

worked for me. Remember it searches for any of the words in the string, not exact matches. I think this has been discussed before as just the way it is.
@ OP
Please tell me that you are on crack and wasnt just dropped on your head at birth.
Seriously though what a complete and utter fail.

Whos a moderator or deals with the organization of the threads? Because i think we need to add an android section to multiple devices, the kaiser the vogue, diamond, touch pro, touch hd. Is there any way to keep noobs from posting stuff in forums that doesnt even relate to whats going on in said thread? Or does someone have to delete the useless stuff like people just posting to tell other people not to post about nothing?

The sub-forums are all there, if someone posts in the wrong section, simply point them in the right direction.
What you have said is the general idea of what happens here.
its not even that people just want to say oh dude i cant wait for android and then some other person will be like thats not important and people just get totally off topic. theres like 1500 post in the form or more and less than a quater are actually information on the development and whats going on... also maybe aswell as having a rom development subsection their could be a linux development section rather than just an android section cause its totally possible to boot debian or some distro of linux on these handsets.
All the moderators have their user names marked in red and have 'Moderator' appear under it (as you have 'Junior Member').
Also you can look here to see which mod you should talk to regarding specific forums.
(This list is mostly a suggestion and may be incomplete, if you can't get an answer from a mod of a specific sub forum, or the sub forum does not have a mod you can contact any moderator)
Please note that if you have a problem with a post or a thread you can use the 'report' button (with the ! sign) to report it and we will take care of it.
Also if you have a suggestion you are welcome to post in the 'About' section.
And to answer your question: there is no way to keep noobs from posting the wrong stuff or in the wrong place. Mistakes are part of being new to something.
If you see a thread you think is just clutter or out of place you can help by reporting it.

Just wondering if anyone else is trying to do a little hack we can apply to current roms were using... I'm still on the fence if I want cm6 (when its done) or stock rooted froyo with that hack. Is it possible on a sense Rom?

thread cleaned needs to stay on topic now. also questions need to be posted in the Q&A forum. we have that rule and forum for a reason... to answer questions. when u post in the development forum u make me or someone else come through and clean up ur mistake. i move/delete 60-80 threads a day. and one more doesnt help. please follow the forum rules and post in the proper section. one should not get mad if because they posted in the wrong forum get mad because they are informed that they are doing so. if you do not wanna be told you are doing the wrong thing then i would suggest posting in the correct forum. the members are tired of the development section being cluttered with Q&A posts. this cause important information to be pushed down the forum and buried under countless questions. so all and all just do the right thing and post questions in Q&A. thank you enjoy the day

Aw this finally got moved, I was waiting for it to be moved to answer.
Yes, there are 4 people working on this that I know of.... cm6 and crew, apparently once cyanogen gets his hdmi cable in the mail he speculates it will be pretty quick and easy to do. Also, this thread actually has some code they're testing. There are 2 other people, one on androidforums.com and the other on ppc that are also working on this project. If you would like exact links I can look them up. Cheers!

No wonder no one likes you. You live in the UK.
Can you try using Google Maps with GPS, something using a lot of cell data, and making/receiving a phone call all at the same time?
I have a hypothesis that some combination of heavy use of the Qualcomm chip causes it to crash when undervolted
I am starting to think the admin should give people like this one warning and then start implementing temporary bans.
The title of your thread starts with the word "Question," and you didn't think this belongs in the forum with "Q&A" in its title. Really?

About 14 years ago when I started using Internet forums, I got flamed pretty hard for posting questions to stuff that was already answered. And for the rest of my life, I have gotten SO MUCH MORE out of every forum I ever visit by knowing to search first, post in the proper forum, etc. It seems Android forums have a "100% tolerant" attitude which, in the long run, cripples the forums and makes them harder to use, and reduces the useful-info-to-clutter ratio tremendously.
Answering people's questions that have been asked and answered hundreds or thousands of times before does not help them! Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, team him to fish and he'll eat for the rest of his life...
SEARCH THE FREAKING FORUMS, people, and POST IN THE PROPER FORUMS!
Oh, what am I doing. My post here won't make a lick of difference anyway

Answering him encourages this kind of behavior. If you can get away with it with only a small warning, why not do it?
Anyone having time issues with there devices? Today found that my phone was 10 min fast, had to revert in settings on date and time, I have gingersense B3 2.3.3.
I read some where that this is going on over the pond also, whats your thoughts??
It has nothing to do with gingersense it happened to my wife's non rooted stock incredible.
yeah the other day mine was running 7 minutes too fast. A reset will fix it but it was odd I am running the leaked gingerbread
Its actually a world-wide issue. From the US to the UK.
I just turned off my automatic clock sync and switched to manual until we figure out whats happening.
I just went to settings (clock) and switched to manual then back to automatic and it fixed itself.

First thought is that the ten post threshold may be too low because someone posted something so utterly off topic in the dev forum.
The reason why people post questions in the DEV section is because if the question is relevant to developing ie HOW TO DO THIS.. OR THAT OR WHAT KERNEL RUNS BEST.. etc who better to ask than the developers. Why would someone go post a technical question about something in a generic question and answer section when no one with any knowledge will answer the question. Basically you people who have nothing better to do than NAZI a forum need to go put a D*&K in your mouth. Next time my car breaks down Ill go take it my drycleaners!

The clown who posted the picture proves my point. Sure devs can read the q @ a - How many really do - My drycleaner can also look at my car and try to fix it - Doesnt mean he is the person I want working on my car. Point being either answer the question with an inteligent answer or dont bother what is the point of being a forum nazi.

Hey I'm not a clown! Well not licensed anyway.... oh well looks like its in the right section now so maybe you'll get an answer or find a solution. Good luck
You're questions aren't special but you are
We are blessed to have this place to learn about our devices and have access to the work of all of the great developers. The least we can do is fallow the rules and respect the developers. Maybe some of us haven't read the rules, here's a good post from the last moderator of our forum on why we keep questions out of the development section and here's the general forum rules which plainly states that we should watch our language and respect other members. Thanks everyone for contributing to such an amazing community

Wrong section

People should stop posting wrong section and report directly to a mod.
Once the moderator does find out he/she then has to move the thread, and if there are "wrong section, stupid head" posts he/she has to delete them.
Less work makes for a happy mod.
I don't see why you guys waste your time posting if you don't know the answer to the question, Being able to edit settings in custom rom is important with out having to use pc. Is sad to see two post that don't provide anything
Well, they work for me on cm10...

And it's sad to see a post with such poor punctuation and grammar.
You know not to post in the development section for issues such as this, you've been a member for four years.
And my post wasn't even directed towards you.

Wow you failed to read the forum rules and have the nerve to tell people there wasting time... obviously you didn't graduate from school because if you knew how to read.. 1. You would have posted in the right section and 2. You would have knew how to use the search function because your question probably already has a post and answer.
I dont understand how hard that is to do. :silly:
If I learned one thing on XDA, it's this. Most people like to post in the wrong sections, because they know that they will get a faster answer and that more people will see it. They do it, despite the fact that they shouldn't. So, in theory, we should just ignore those that do it, because lets be honest...they know better and so should we. Now, I've also seen many members that know better, reply to these people and give them their answers, but they fail to see that, they are only feeding these people, to keep on doing it.
