Cheers

is that because I am in the wrong thread or because I am a newbie?
Why? Because you've supplied no real info about your phone or what you've tried doing etc. You've basically said "I tried to flash a ROM and it didn't work. Any idea why?". Not very informative is it?
And it's besides the point anyway. There are literally loads of guides about to help you (Bortak's being a good start). All you need to do is "search".

The forum rules require to use search. This has been asked and answered many times.
Also there is a big troubleshooting sticky thread in the QA section and yep, its in the wrong section, should be in the QA section.

Sure. You are right about the 'no real info' warning. I had to provide it - no questions about that.
Regarding your 'search' comments, I am not a newbie to the 'internet' or 'search'ing. Before I try to login and post a question to any forum I try to make sure I could not find someone else experience the exact problem and a solution for it.
Anyway sorry for wasting your time guys. This thread can be deleted by the mods.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Moving to Q&A
Given the info it can be anything, but in my short experience, when stuck in boot, a full wipe and re-download of the ROM has usually helped..

How much time did you wait ? First time, some roms take some time. Some patience is required first time.

Figured out the answer to my question.
I assume you mean the notification bar... and there wouldn't be any way to remove it without rooting. Even with rooting I'm not sure its possible outside a completely custom ROM.
Why would you want to remove it anyway? Its a great part of android...

*edit*
I've figured it out. This thread can be closed.
What was the point of deleting your post? I hate when people do that. What if your question and subesquent discovery of the answer helps someone with the same question? Deleting your question doesn't take it off the thread, just let the original content slowly fade off into the XDA abyss like the rest of them that don't get responses.
Because it was simple overlook on my part. My launcher already had the option it was worded differently than others. So yes there is a point in closing it as there was no outside solution found by me. Plus there is another thread of the same topic posted that people can look at for a solution.

uh this isn't in developmental it's in Q&A.
Hey Guys,
Because the people that have experience with what im looking for, are here. Im posting this here. Excuse me if this is not the appropriate place.
It's probably a small thing. But I've googled and googled.. but nobody seems to have posted this.
One of the customizable buttons in Virtuous Unity 2.37 is not working.
[:.1] works just fine, [:.2] forgets its function after some tasks, but its sertain the setting is gone after a reboot. It does ask for a program to bind to the key.. but the setting does not 'stick'. Anyhow, this shows the Keymap is working. I dont know how HTC saves it after that.. or where!
I am looking for a solution, does anyone know how to make it so that this buttons is usable again? I recon its like addon 1 line to a file.. since [:.1] works fine:/
ty for your time.

Virtuous also have a bug tracker, don't have the address with me at the moment though.
Should probably check that, no doubt it will have been posted a couple of times.
You could even go visit their irc channel, #virtuousrom on freenode.

Seriously? We are not just moving threads. It is this attitude that has moved us to resort to issuing infractions for wrongly posting in Development forums....which is what you just earned yourself.

Why on earth do people like you get so hung up about somebody asking a question? Isn't that what forums are intended for? I get terrified to ask a question anymore on busy forums because of the "USE SEARCH" brigade, appreciate there's probably been a lot of threads about it but not everybody has the time to read through page after page after page. Don't read the topic if it's something that's obviously been asked before seeing as it clearly offends you so much.
It's just not good for a forum if it gets spammed with the same question only because the people are too lazy to search.

^^What he said^^
It doesn't "offend" me at all. Read the Forum rules! The whole idea of the Search button is to keep topics neatly ordered, so we don't all have to wade through page after page of repeat questions to find the info we are looking for. Which, as you yourself mentioned, not everyone has the time to do.
It took me all of twenty seconds to find the link I posted above. It wasn't hard, I just searched "unroot Desire" and there it was, first on the list. It would have taken the OP twice as long to create ANOTHER thread on this topic as it did for me to search.
Hey there, I'm still relatively new to the whole android scene. I understand the basics for most other phones but when it comes to HTC, I get lost. I just purchased a G2 and I've heard there are some pretty good stuff available for it as long as you do it right. So, I guess my question is, how do I do it right? I know there's something about unlocking your bootloader and getting s-off but thats about it. If it's already been posted on here, sorry.
Thanks!
1st. Welcome to the HTC Vision/G2/Z community! ..you will not be disappointed!
2. There is tons of information on how to root/gain 'True' root, of the G2 on here in the forums!
This link will Get you started and *Make* sure you read every information about this phone and follow every instruction, basically on this board, if you don't understand 1 part of something or having a problem with something you don't need to make threads or* even ask questions bcuz more than 90% of the HTC VISION community has/will already answered every question you have, just research better!
.......this link will help you with your beginning to gain root/unlock bootloader for this phone:

You can only post in non development threads. Just help 10 people in the Q&A threads and you will be fine.

Not being able to post is a good time to use the search button. Wont it be awesome to say "I found the answer myself!" ?
A tip : I find the xda app search to k8nd of suck (sorry guys its true) so either use "web view" or what I do isvuse google and put xda as a constant key word.
The thing is, a lot of times everything is found in your devices q&a section. And you dont need to havev10 posts for that.
Also most device forums tell you "all q&a go in the q&a sub forum" as part of the devices forums rules.
Are you like me and love to help ?
(hey dont roll your eyes me! )
Why not hang out in q&a for a bit?
You can help other and ask all your questions!
Great way to build up your post count!

If you have problems and you need the help of others to solve them then more likely than not your question belongs in the Q&A forum for your device. If you want to answer questions then you can do that in the Q&A as well. Either way, you'll either not need 10 posts because you have nothing to post in a dev thread or you'll easily be able to manage 10 posts because you are a dev and find it easy to answer questions.
Be patient...make the posts on home/forum/general,android,Q&A.....you can't on any device on development forum
That is a good point it seems like every where I try to post is not aloud I don't wanna be intrusive on threads just need some help
You wont find any help posting questions in the development threads anyway. All you will get is a bunch of people telling to post in the Q&A section.
I wish there was an easier way myself. I have been coming here since 2010 to read and find answers, but when I recently had an issue I couldn't find discussed I found I couldn't post.
I ubder stand though.

Look through the q&a section and answer questions and help people. You've been around long enough to know stuff, it shouldn't be hard to put out some effort to help..

You've been a member of XDA for three years and this is the first part you've made! Hardly joining in with the community is it!
By now you should be an expert on your device, so get out there and HELP others in your device's forum with their problems. You'll easily get to 10 posts if you share some of your knowledge :banghead:
Man Man..we already have 2 threads with same meaning & different titles.
1st one -> Alternative to 10 post rule
2nd one -> 10 post RULE is it helpful or harmful - Closed
Now, this is created again. I think we must ask MOD to take necessary action.:angel:

Well. I had an original Droid back then. I switched over to iOS for some time and now I'm back on Android.
With a Note 2, Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus all rooted and with alternate ROMs I have more reason to stick around now.

And even if they somehow aren't, there are numerous guides for flashing every device so you should never have to ask a question like that in the first place.
