Hello, this is the only vBulletin forum that I browse(I'm more of a SMF guy, I use it and develop for it) and I can't find the place where I can see new topics in which I have participated(Tapatalk does this for this forum). Is there a link where I can see the new topics?

A couple of things you can do:
1
Subscribe to threads you are interested in and receive email notification of new posts being added.
2
Bookmark your profile page http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1153710 and in there go to the statistics tab>Find all posts by. Then by clicking on your posts you can see if there have been any replies.
Not sure if these links might work also:
Find all posts by Dragooon123
Find all threads started by Dragooon123

im using subscription witout email, means i can go to my user cp and i see all threads i subscripted that have new posts
so i dont get too many emails but see all new replys..
The question is,
why does the XDA app offer this feature,
but the full version of the board does not?
I could theoretically run an emulator, run the XDA android app, and use this forum MORE efficiently than actually turning on a laptop. I use the 'participated' area every single day.
That seems backward. There has to be a way to pull this data to a web browser, if it can be pulled to an Android phone.

You should set your usercp so that it will automatically subscribe to threads you reply to (without notification)
Then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all to view them.

Sorry to dredge up an old topic, but I haven't found an answer to the same question, and this is the only time I have seen it have replies. Finding threads posted by a user will not do the same thing, the participated thread button in the tapatalk or xda app does. One should not have to subscribe to every thread either, that would be pointless considering that is for threads you REALLY want to follow.
The information is accessible to the app, which means ultimately it would be easy to implement on the website, and it is counter productive you can only find it in app. The best answer I have is find the posts in the app, but if I have to post something longer, or with links, I have to find the thread on the website.
As popular as this site is, this feature would improve quite a bit.. people(maybe more noobs) would actually follow threads they've posted questions on, so the replies aren't a waste of time. How many threads have multiple people asked for more details and the OP never replies.. Subscribing to threads would only work on any new posts, and some of my oldest ones I would still want to know activity for. This all seems obvious.
I suppose you could call me a little jaded, but that's just what I have to live with.
Question this morning is this......
A person browses the Rom threads (especially HTC update threads) or anything else that has a file somewhere in it, and you're bound to see countless posts that say nothing more then
downloading now
Why? Why do so many people post that they're "downloading now"?
That's like posting that I"m "breathing now" or "I'm typing now"
Wouldn't it make more sense (no pun intended) to download the damn thing, install whatever, then comment on something at that point?
What exactly is the point of telling the entire community that you're downloading a file? We know the file is there, we know in order for you to get the file, you have to download it, so what is the purpose?
Anxiously awaiting the learned people of this site to be able to enlighten me on this curious practice, so as I may wonder about something else
I don't know. After an initial post of a thread, I would want to know that people are at least responding. Also when someone comments it boosts the thread toward the front of the forum where it is seen by even more people, a la free advertising.

So basically, "I'm Downloading this" is the new "BUMP"
"i am gonna try this..downloading now"... you mean these kind?
Reading your post now. I'll reply in a minute.
Well lets say you developed a rom that you were proud of and put a lot of work into...
Would you rather see someone's excitement to download something you created or just a thread of silence?

Why should there be a thread of silence? Wouldn't you expect people to download the ROM and check it out and THEN post their comments? You've also got all the people asking questions before they download it too. If I developed a ROM, I know I wouldn't want my thread cluttered up with a bunch of people telling me they're downloading the file.. well duh I would want people to download the ROM and post back some constructive criticism, or some high praise, or a bug report, or some suggestions. Now THAT would make me feel good.
My question was why wouldn't a person download the file, install it and then report back with a comment?
A person can download a file in a few minutes, backup their data in say 10 mins, install the ROM (using a ROM in this case) and restore their data in 10 mins, play with it for 10 mins, THEN they can comment on the ROM.
Seems to me, it's a nothing but cluttering up the thread. If a person has a ROM, we KNOW you have to download the file if you want to check it out. Why tell us? Save your post for a 1/2 hour later after you've installed it and then tell us your comments or questions or issues.
I don't know about anyone else, but when I read a thread, I like to read informative information in it, not wade thru countless posts of I"m downloading the damn thing
You ever see a HTC update release thread... people in these are so foaming at the mouth, they go one step further... besides telling us they're DOWNLOADING the file, a few minutes later, we get the BREAKING NEWS that they are at 70% of the download.
People are going to post as they wish, my question was simply to find out if anyone had a valid reason for doing so, so that I may get my beauty sleep tonight
This is a bit of a satirical take on the question, so let's keep the comments light.
So far, we have these conspiracies for the "downloading now" posts ....
1. Do it to bump the post - highly unnecessary IMO - I'm a firm believer in threads standing on their own
2. A sign of interest - shouldn't everyone also post "I'm reading your thread" to let everyone know they're reading the thread too?

Good one ! I like that Exactly my point.
Going to lunch now In my car Probably some kind of chicken Details later
Hat's off to the OP for the astute observation.
Along those lines; has anyone done a search for the string "downloading now"? Would be interesting to get a thread/forum count.

This is the place for all discussions by non developers relating to the various builds and tweaks of Oxygen ROM for the HTC desire. XDA rules state that you must be developing a Rom or tweak to post in development forums- we do hope for them to visit and help out though .
Feel free to post experiences, thankyou's, bugs, feature requests, and questions etc... I am by no means an expert, so please just post to the general community, hopefully someone will come up with a meaningful reply. No response from Adam G or any developers is implied. Please use the bug/ feature request tracker to be officially heard.
Please search before making questions so members are not repeating questions and answers. And please be nice... even if someone does post a repeat question, or doesn't 'get' something, etc.....
Cheers,

Yeah, WHS. I've always wanted to post 'Reserved'
Suppose if I stopped Dicking about I would have a better chance TBH
KYI
Reserved
(never had to do this before!!!)
On a serious note, if you're posting in the ROM thread and your post relates to the ROM and its issues then there's no issues posting in the ROM thread
There were complaints in this specific ROM thread about people posting non dev. questions, so Senior Mod, pulser_g2, suggested that a thread in General wouldn't do any harm for people to discuss the rom etc. I've had to clean them up.
Personally I think this is a good idea, and if it was adopted by more developers we could keep the actual rom thread clean and tidy. The cam port thread is a good example of a clean dev thread, although the fact I'm cleaning it every day is a bit of a problem!
Ideally we would like to keep the rom threads for posting the rom, discussing technical aspects of the rom, and posting bug reports etc.
@ the OP. It might be a good idea for you to post in the actual rom development thread and point everyone here so they can start posting on this thread.
@ everyone who has decided to "reserve" posts. Stop it! The OP reserving a space is fine, but c'mon now people stop taking the you know what!
It was just in jest, fair enough about the actual thread being clogged up. I still stand that if it refers to an issue with the ROM of its features it should go in the ROM thread but banter should go in here!!
To be honest I think it was the sheer amount of questions that aren't actually rom related, and the number of times the same question is asked over and over and over and over.... I'm sure you get the picture!
The Leedroid rom thread is another example of why a thread here in General might be a good idea. I spent an hour one night and deleted over 150 posts in the last 20 pages.
Anyway we shall see how this goes and take it from there. I'm guessing it will be trying to fight a losing battle. Hey ho
The other option is to create a ROM Discussion sub-forum for each ROM to have a thread...

I Vote this. Keep a 'General Discussion' thread for each ROM in their own Forum to keep things clean.
Despite the fact I hate them, a chat room dedicated to each ROM (Bandwidth Permitting) might be an idea. Usually once someone has voiced their opinion/Question they soon Dissipate. Could same some useless posts clogging up a Thread

Depend's on how you interpret them rules

as the rom in question was in beta, and you were testing it so to speak you had every right to be contributing to the thread.
Also, brilliant idea to have a separate thread containing the less irrelevant things, would possibly be even more brilliant if Adamg added a link and little explanation in his oxygen OP of what this is and why it's here.
Deleted- background discussions and resolutions are in process....
Alright, I am going to kick this thread off with its first potential issue. I have noticed it about 4 timesthat, over the last 5 days, suddenly my WiFi has switched off and I realised I an surfing on my 3g data connection. I just have to re-enable WiFi and it is back again, but this can cost me a lot of data depending on what I am doing. I have juice defender on, but not touching WiFi, and I use Y5 battery saver to switch WiFi on and off when in and out of range. I have not had this issue for months with any other Rom. I have reinstalled y5 and it still happens. Has anyone else got this issue or any ideas. I am on oxygen beta 0. 1. 3.
Cheers.

I have not experienced this problem on any version of this ROM (had on other ROMS) and no such problems on beta beta v0.2.
i am trying some more searches but can't find anything that seems relevant.... i have had it ages ago, flashed another rom and forgot about it. the channel is still on 13- sometimes that resets to 11- (i have had that a few times with different roms), so it's not that btw.

Maybe try uninstalling the Y5 app and then see if you have the same issues, also I am sure I read something (and I may be mistaken) that it's not a good idea having your wifi router on channel 13.........
I had it more without y5, it switches to 3g regularly then, always has- nor all the time, just quite often without on a few different roms. Maybe it us because I have two networks in my house... its complicated, I need it.
I am in Australia we have 13 channels on our wifi here, I need it on auto.
The nofullsleep fix gave me wifi error so I got rid if it.
I woke up this morning and it was on 3g, it had reset my regulatory domain back to 11. I have reinstalled y5. I tried to post on the bug tracker, but chrome and opera on my phone both timed out when trying to submit. Will try from my home pc when I get the chance.
Everything else is silky smooth, most stable rom ever by far.
When i try to restore a rom my phone says "This does not seem to be a valid backup. The MD5 file is missing." Is there a way to fix this?
Please Help!!!!!!!!
Hi, you posted in Android Development, however it appears that you should have posted in Q&A. Also, more exclamation marks won't get you help any faster.

Try charging your battery some and then restoring the nandroid.
In the future think twice about where you are posting.
Is this a question? Maybe it should go in the question forum? Cheers!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
did you change the file name of the backup?????????????????????????????????????????????????
If your using rom manager try reflashing the recovery.
browse the SD card using your computer... find the backup file that you are trying to restore... rename it to something simple without any "-" and especially no slashes "\" or "/" ... reboot back into recovery.... no restore the newly renamed backup
oh ya and post in the right section... don't use exclamation points.... and of course my favorite: I could have answered or ignored... but i will post just to tell you you are a nugtard
Why is everyone bashing this guy? I'm sure he's panicky cuz he can't get his **** back proper, and probably not thinking quite straight.
And to OP, I couldn't say it better than 2 of the posters already said. Hope you get it sorted. And Jesus, people, give a guy a break.

I was panicky, drove into oncoming traffic and almost killed 30 people because I wasn't thinking straight and able to get my **** back proper.
We go through this everytime. Posted to wrong section, broke rules and didn't read. Stickies are there for a reason. It gets old, people don't care and post anyway.
I mod alerted the post before I posted to help avoid flame wars thinking a mod would come along and move it quick, and yet here it still sits. So apparently no one else cares that Q&A gets posted here.
So, instead of fighting the problem, it's easier anymore to just 'lulz' around in these threads and wait for the next one to be posted to repeat the process.
Then you might ask "why not just help?". For one, it just encourages more of this crap. Next, I read the OP. Any help given would be a shot in the dark and not worth the time or effort. Others have 'suggested' things but without more information from the OP, who seems to have vanished, we can't help anymore than playing 20 questions.

Hey all, I've been searching for a couple of months and all the links for joyos on the epic 4g touch are now dead and gone. If anyone has the file on their computer and wouldn't mind posting a link I would appreciate it, yes I know the rom is old, but after going through rom after rom after rom, Joyos has always stood out as my favorite

So where is this thread that you speak of that has dead links?
I see one thread for the E4GT requesting a port that I can't seem to find that took place. I see the Epic 4G video from QbKing.. all kinds of other variants.. Maybe I'm over looking it..

I get that the thread you linked is a request to bring it to the Touch (and that's the one I could find) but the way your OP reads is as if it was already done and now the links are dead..
So at this point it seems as if it's still a request to make it happen.
You could reach out to @VeNuM and ask him if he still has his previous work.
Or @locoboi187 and see if they still have it.. Looks like it was shared on IRC only and no dev thread was made here for it..
The link you shared has this post.
Looks like barnacles got JoyOs's link for ya. If you want heres LewaOs 
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/65463789/LewaAlphav0.01.zip
Flash from el26!
To turn data on go to System settings - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names - and click the dot for sprint.
Just to let you know this is a extremely alpha build. I don't think the camera works... might have some force closes. Not a daily driver.
It's located on the second to last page. It downloads something. Maybe reach out to barnacles(the mentioned dev) or _dan(poster) and see what exactly LewaAlphav0.01.zip is
Edit: after Googling a bit, I found that LewaOS is similar to JoyOS. I have yet to find anything downloadable for JoyOS, but I did find some porting guides, so it can be done
