I am one of the new moderators of this forum and i would like to start off with a thread that talks about what changes you would like to see in this forum. Give me any threads that you might think need to be sticky'd and any other organization you'd like to see. I and another moderator, which will not be named yet, will discuss the best way to roll this out for everyone.
i dont have any suggestions... just would like to congratulate you. so, congrats pudgedaddy
Welcome Aboard, Pudgedaddy & Congratulations.
I am also the new moderator of the Excalibur and Smartphone forums. Please drop by and post your comments, concerns and suggestions.This is a Great Start to the forums. Please keep this thread clean and free from any redundant questions. Only post when there is a need to be.If you would like to see something happen, let me and pudgedaddy know. We will discuss and come to a conclusion to see if your request should be fulfilled.As a start, I would also like everyone to know to keep WAREZ out of Excalibur & Smartphone threads. Any user that asks for WAREZ will be warned and eventually banned if the question arises again.
In the near future, Me & Pudgedaddy will compile information to be stickied for your benefit. Any requests for sticky's will be looked into and only sticky's that deserve to be stickied will be stickied.
Thanks for your co-operation and once again, Great job Pudgedaddy.
Cheers!
Congrat!
YAY !!!!!!!! Moderator for Excalibur!!! FINALLY
First, lets do some stickys haha
1) Wiki
2) Rules & FAQ for the forum
3) Most useful threads for
....
Yes
Oh Thank you Pudge & Luky for offering your services. Thank You XDA for answering the call. Have a wonderful day you already made mine!
Thank goodness!
Maybe this will lead to a reduction in redundant questions by people who do not even bother to search this huge forum and its wealth of knowledge, if that is even possible. I think the most pertinent topics should indeed be stickied, along with deletion or condensation of old threads that are either not relevant, duplicated, or never received replies. Trim the fat, ya know? Thanks for committing your time and effort to make this forum as productive as possible!
Finally! Congrats, guys. Be good public servants.
I would definitely add a sticky to the wiki, but I'd also suggest you two be careful when sticky-ing things. If there are too many stickies, it ends up being the same situation we have now.
Cleaning up the posts we have now is more important than stickies.

Congrats guys I am glad that we finally have the three of you to keep this forum a little more organized.

That's what I got for now.
Cheers.
I just fixed a problem that I created a thread for. I would like to know how to change the thread title to include, "solved", in the title. This way everyone would know that the problem has been fixed. Sorry, if this is already possible. I cannot figure out how to do it. Thanks, and if you want update my sorry, not a noob thread, if you want, to say solved in the title. My last post explains everything. Later.
My bad...
When I made my post, Mikey wasn't a Moderator yet. Congrats goes out to Mikey as well. Here, here!

I was contemplating on closing it out but don't close it because if we do close it, then people who need help on the same topic could have issues that outerdepth didn't have. If you think closing it could help, then please proceed mikey.
Mikey & Pudgedaddy - Stickies need to be cleaned up i.e. every unrelated post should be deleted in my opinion. We shall split up stickies when I get a chance to talk to you guys then work on making this place much more organized as well as make it easy for newbies to get the information they need.Please comment.
Guys, I understand there are a lot of stickies at the moment. Everything will be re-organized, edited and finalized hopefully by the end of this weekend so there's only "threads" that absolutely need to be stickied.
So i have an evo that i am sending back because i got my replacement.. So i dont care if it gets unrooted in the process...
According to this: http://support.sprint.com/support/a...e-wh164052-20100527-115429?&INTNAV=SU:DP:HDIA
I should be able to manually update my phone to froyo....
If someone could walk me through how to get the image and files off the phone and post i would be more than happy too (if that would help anyone.. i just dont know)
Let me know!
yeah it would help but i dont think its available yet been trying to download all day no luck...

How is this the wrong forum? He's asking the developers if his downloading Froyo, extracting it, and sending it to them would be a help to their development of Froyo-based ROMs.
Ha!
I swear to God 80% of all posts on XDA are people replying to other people, telling them they are posting on the wrong forum (without even telling them where they 'should' be posting) Very Hilarious but also far far more annoying then the supposed misplaced post itself. p.s. please reply to this telling me I'm posting in the wrong forum, it will make my day.

[FLAMEOFF]In basic terms, This is a Question. There is a forum for Questions/Answers. This forum is mainly for Releases of development and testing of ROM's, Modifications, etc. You guys don't think devs check the Q&A, but they do...[/FLAMEOFF]
Wrong Forum.
I wouldn't be too surprised. Drumdude has 3 posts, all of which are just to talk down to other members.
Momma must have weened him off the t!t a little too soon and he's having withdrawals.

Welcome to XDA. Please notice the nice place set up for questions like this, conveniently labeled "Q/A." See all the question marks there? It's for questions, just like this! The devs read that forum too! Now take a look around this subforum. Notice threads with content, downloads, changelogs - in essence, development.
I hope this was helpful. Have a great day!
Thank you!
Haha. I bet if op posts this is q&a they will say its the wrong forum. I have seen that a couple times. Man how this place has changed in the past couple years

Hey, it's ok. Half of the members finally started going through puberty, and their formerly carefree tween personalities have been beset by emotional volatility and hormonal fluctuations. Most of them are probably confused, wondering what those hairs are for.

5 posts of "Wrong Forum". You're just as cancerous as the threads that you post in.
to OP, Thank you for willing and waiting with the rest of us and yes if you do get your hands on that OTA it will help tremendously. Do post here if you get it.
Really?
Ok first drumdude are you a moderator? Have you done any development ever? Do you post anything other then nasty remarks? If I were a moderator I would ban hammer you not the person offering to help.
Seriously people just because you have anonymity behind your user name doesn't give you the right to be rude. Stop jumping on a post and yelling at the poster, if the moderators have a problem they will move the post you are not the police and all you are doing in potentially scaring off help!!! Which correct me if I'm wrong a development forum is DEPENDENT on.
I for one have been taken aback and offended by some of the blatant rudeness on this forum.
We never know who is new or who is posting something. What if a HTC dev was posting a question with the intent to leak info to us and you blasted him like this? Do you think he would want to help after that? Or what if someone who was posting a question also happened to be at HTC legal and got pissed enough to force all our nice developers to stop using anything HTC with a cease order (which they can legally do whenever they want) all because of some rude poster.
Please people be responsible and think before you speak the world and this forum will be better for it.

ITS ASSWIPES LIKE YOU THAT MAKE FORUMS BULL****... IF YOU LIFE SUCKS SO BAD THAT ALL YOU CAN DO IS GO AROUND TO FORUMS AND TALK CRAP.. SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE HEAD AND BE DONE WITH IT....
I have been DL'ing roms and posting here for a while and i wanted to try and give back if i could even though i am not a dev!

You might want to step back and take a deep breath or two (jeez probably three.)
You're not a mod either, so how about you calm down and go outside or something?
Check to see if the PRI updates from 1.34_003 to another one.
I see.
I blame the search engine and myself. Sorry, please disregard and let it die.

When or where can I get the CyanogenMod 10.1 for the Sprint SIII
Go to get.cm
You might want to search before asking next time. A five seconds Google search does wonders.

@Ztrewa I did Google first, Google didn't find it. I found the CyanogenMod link from another website. Even the XDA search here didn't find the thread.
@daniel4653, What was the reason for your message? Useless
@livito, A very big thanks and as I said at the top, I did find it off another website after an hour of searching
@supersaeed your comment just as useless and unwarranted instead of helpful
@kennyglass123 Moderator, look at the top of the post. This is posted in the correct place. Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III> Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A > [Q] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Sprint SIII
Truly, I thought I was on a supportive site for moding my phone but, only one out of 5 posts was supportive and the other's just worthless hate, and aggitation. And as a moderator to post a problem with a post when there wasn't one?
I may be a junior member here but, I have probably been using computers and electronics before most you were out of diapers. Modding phone's is still new to me as I haven't had the urge to brick my only personal means of communication I need while I am on the road and don't consider $ as something I just throw out the window (even though I have 2 SIII's I only paid $99 for). I research before I jump and if I'm not sure, I ask a question and expect a courteous answer, not gruff from rude, impolite, inconsiderate, discourteous, bad-mannered, people.
if instead of clicking GS3 general or whatever u did had u clicked on GS3 development you would've seen it right there at the top
the moderator obviously moved your thread to Q&A
my post was useful..now maybe you'll try a little urself before asking super obvious questions
also, nobody cares how old you are

My post wasn't useless you didn't search at all that's why I was expressing myself by saying oh my. And that means you didn't read the rules if you posted in wrong section and you should search before you post.

Hi,
I'm subscribed to a few threads in which I'm participating here on XDA but when I'm quoted by someone I receive 1 email for being quoted on that thread and another for someone posting on it, both regarding the same post. This is quite terrible if you start a discussion on a couple threads. It would be great if someone in charge could take a look at this ASAP. Also, I think it would be great if people with the same problem dropped a line here as well.
Regards
