Ok, i am very comfortable flashy roms now to the point where it is second nature. Now, like i use to with the OG epic, i am ready to play with kernels. Is there a sticky anywhere or a place i can go where they are easily found and compared? Thanks in advance and pardon my ignorance if i missed something...

There's only like 4 or five. It's all in the Android Original Development section. That section isn't very...crowded.
Thank you very much. I also just noticed that the goodness rom had them included in their rom!!

And as The Root said there are very few. Make sure they match your ROM whether it be AOSP or TW.
Also make sure they are for the Sprint GS3, do not flash a kernel that is not specifically for the Sprint variant.

Thanks all....Im on the KToonez one now...not particularly sure or let alone aware of what it is doing but im using it nonetheless. I have only been using it since about my last post so i guess i will soon find out...

So I finally posted in the Q&A section last night because I messed up my SystemUI.apk while trying to theme it...
I asked a simple question asking if anyone could post the stock apk from the latest leak... and never got a response yet.
I no longer need it because I have flashed CM9 since it was what I had on my SD when I flashed today.
I now know why there are so many users that post questions in the general section of the forum. This is the most disappointing part of this community other than the people who like stirring up arguments in the community.
If there is anyone else who has had a similar experience or that thinks that this forum lacks in helpful information, post here to explain your story and how you feel the community should change.

I understand completely what you are saying. I used to live in the Q&A section to try to help because there's not a lot of people that DO put in the effort and go out their way. I didn't get my "thanks" from being a mod, believe me, lol. I try to be laid back for that reason in the general section, but I can only allow so many questions before it gets overwhelming. I have seen a handful of members in this section that will see people through to get the help the asking members need. And I love that. Sometimes you have to give it a little more time, or a shameless bump is in order.

Yeah, I could have given it a little bit more time but without a status bar I didn't want to wait...
I guess instead of complaining about it, I will take the initiative to contribute my experience with the E4GT to the community. I'm no developer but I will try to help as best as I can.

Did you flash agats ics theme over the stock fe22? If thats the case he labeled them wrong and you have to flash deodexed instead of odexed theme. It was mentioned in the fe22 thread, happened to a few of us but you would really have to read everything to find it.
I look at q&a sometimes but I learned most of the stuff here from reading and most of the questions there are because people are too lazy to read. I typically just provide a link to a thread if I do answer any questions. Yours is valid though I flashed and downloaded the rom and that stupid theme 3 times thinking i had a bad flash checking md5 and stuff.

I flashed the odexed theme... I also thought it was a bad flash. I usually read most of the thread and the comments.
I just didn't read enough to see that there was a problem flashing over stock.

This time it was buried and as dumb as I felt flashing a theme that said deodexed over a stock rom it worked.

Thats pretty demanding, seeing that you are asking for free help. You should wait longer, and if you cant, thats why its always suggested to NAND backup your stuff.
You must realize that we all have lives outside of this forum, I too try to help out as often as I can with what little knowledge I have. Its the only way I can give back but I also work full-time and go to college full-time. So there are a few days where I can't find the time to post or help out. I'm not by any means saying that this is the case for everyone here, just simply giving you an example that may or may not be the case for some of us here.
I can almost promise you, however, if you give it enough time, someone WILL come to your aid.
I just hope you realize this and don't think any less of these people here. They really do put a lot of time and effort into helping and developing for all of us in hopes of getting nothing more than a simple "thanks".
I also hope that your next experience is nothing like the previous one.

I agree with the backup idea, but I'm not touching the backup restore functions on an ICS kernel until it has been fully tested and determined to be safe to use.
I thought I had backups of the SystemUI on my SD card but they were for earlier builds and would not work. I realize that everyone has their own life outside of XDA. That is why when I saw that my question didn't even have one reply when several other questions had new comments, I decided to just flash a new ROM.
The reason I have started this thread is because I am not the first user to be ignored when asking a simple question to ask if someone could help with such a simple issue.

Personally, I believe the Q&A section is pretty much useless and have never used it to gather or inquire information. As long as one uses the Search function in the forums effectively, there's no need for it.

In theory, yea. But a lot of those answers you "searched" for are found in the Q&A section.
---Jay--- From the CM9 powered E4GT
I admit I don't frequent Q&A as much as I do General and Development, but if I see something I feel that I can answer then I always try to contribute. If it's something completely out of my league but I know someone who might know the answer then I will, occasionally, post that information.
While I understand OP's need for a quick resolution (although most questions in Q&A need the same) I agree with those who have advocated allowing a little more time for people to respond.
I know it can be frustrating (and intimidating) to be stuck on a problem with no answer but again, as stated in the posts above, sometimes people who can help simply aren't online at the time the problem is posted. Though I'm here a lot during the day (from work, shhhh) in the evenings my time is a bit more sporadic and I've come back to the computer with PMs from people who asked me something but thought I was ignoring them, that bothers me because I would never willingly ignore someone.
So I think Q&A definitely has its uses and maybe this post should be our tap on the shoulder to peruse it more often and see if there is something we can help answer.
To the OP.
Why didn't you just download one of the stock roms in the roms section and extract your own?
just curious.....

When most roms here are 1 click executable files its not so easy to extract the apk...
And with most of the roms that are zipped, they are already themed...
I have resolved my own issue by flashing a new rom, that was not the point of this thread... the point I wanted to bring up with this thread is that it is apparent that 95% of the users here only frequent General and Development. If more users just checked Q&A once and a while to see if there is anyone needing help with something that they have already experienced, they could easily reply with what they did to resolve the issue.
Let's all stop pointing the blame and help to better the community... we all can help in one way or another.

I run this also, and it works great, but I will say that it's not EXACTLY the same. The lock screen news feed doesn't work, says it can't determine my country...in other words, not Canada, no newsfeed. It's minor stuff.
Shouldn't this be in Q&A/locked due to the fact that there's a discussion thread already for this?

The only reason people are getting "*****y", as you say, is because you posted your "question" in a development forum. I also was a noob at some point and still act like one here and there but I also show the fellow Xda'ers, devs, and mods alike respect by following the rules of xda and not getting snippy with the people trying to inform of a mistake made. Development sections are strictly for Rom releases and their corresponding threads. Had you posted this in the q&a section no one would have said a word to you. Friendly advice from a semi noob to a complete noob!
Ps people could get a whole lot meaner by the way!! Consider yourself lucky so far!

So thread closed

I'm setting up a DInc2 for my technically challenged mother. I'd like to install a ROM that is easy to understand and straight forward. But my biggest concern is that the ROM be extremely de-bloated and very stable. I would appreciate recommendations as to which custom ROMs would be best suited given these parameters.
Thanks in advance!

Should this rather have been posted in the General section? Since this involves custom ROMs I figured this was the place, but I'll be glad to abandon this and ask in the General section if that is appropriate.
In any event, thanks for the recommendation.

On the "desktop" version of the website, there's already a step when creating a thread that automatically searches and finds existing threads on the subject.
It's already ignored by a lot of people.
I'm skeptical that adding an additional step for people to ignore is the correct solution. That being said, I have to real solution.
I always try to suggest people search and I'm fully aware that it makes the threads seem hostile to newcomers. I honestly don't know what to do half of the time. Being polite helps, but a lot of time people want to get upset.
Sorry people. I thought maybe I would get a more direct answer if I came directly to the sacred area of developers. Now I know that next time I'll go to Q&A and look there for the answers I need instead of relying on your expertise.

It's not about expertise, it's about Development, that's reserved for exactly that development of roms, mods etc.. It is not a question and answer forum nor a theming section. Those have their own section with thousands of people which are going to probably help you and give you proper information. Also mocking the words of a Moderator is not a good thing to do. Just some friendly advice.
