*NOOB FORUM FOR SGS3*
Xda community,
I decided to start this thread to help some newcomers along. When I was a NOOB, I had a lot of questions. I couldn't find the appropriate place to ask the questions, I didn't know how to use the forum tools, I didn't know which questions were good questions, I was worried about getting bashed by some senior members, and I became discouraged. Feel free to ask any questions in here. You will not get flamed for asking any legitimate question. I won't hold your hand.. If you have a question that is all over the Internet, I'll point you in the right direction and tell you how I found that information.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A NOOB IF..
- You are new to rooting
- You are new to flashing roms
- New to adb, fast boot, drivers, bootloaders
- You don't understand the terminology
- You don't know the difference between a rom and a kernel
- You don't know how to use XDA forums
- You can't explain what rooting is and what it does
- Many more..you get the point

Good deal. Hopefully this will work out and avoid a lot of the clutter in threads with silly questions and the typical additional clutter of "search! Wrong section!" Replies lol.

Here's a noob question:
Why not just post your noob question in the 'Q&A section'?

I know that it can be done, but do not know how to do it. I will look into it
Edit: PM Josh Beach... Here is the link to his JellyBean rom which is amazing..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33030333#post33030333
He will make custom pull downs for $5...Or, you can just wait until someone has the same request =)

I think he meant that this thread should have gone in the Q&A section and not the general one...
Anyhow, good move! Hope the noobs come in for guidance. I too had many doubts and was discourage at some point from asking questions, now I try to help as much as I can

First off... this is Sprint GS3 thread/forum
But I'm a nice guy, here you go, its the thread for the VZW GN root tool kit. Read through the initial post and a few pages from the end before even using it, to make sure of what it does and how and also if there are any bugs in the latest version.

Best bet is to go to the forum for that device and look in development section. Should be all the info you need in a sticky.

You are in the wrong forum my man. This is the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 forum. There is a device search box on the top of the page. Type in Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I will save you time... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894717

#1 This thread has zero development in it. I would like it to be in the development section. I have a strong feeling that it would be moved quicker than I can type the 1st post. If you can help get it moved, more power to you
#2 Noobs can't find their phone on here...let alone know what development is..lol
#3 37% of people polled think that Mitt Romney was responsible for the death of Osama Bin Laden. 41% couldn't name our vice president
POINT BEING: Let's not give the general public undue credit
I'm trying to keep the crap out of threads where I want to read about actual development

Yup, moved and closed. Asking for 'ETAs' is not encouraged here on XDA, the ROMs come when they come. As others have said, patience.....no need to open up threads to ask.
Hi all,
I was just wondering if the is any kernel dev on here, who could answer a few questions about 2 colliding partition names in the Siyah dual boot ramfs I an porting to our phone.
I have got the ramfs almost ready to combine with the kernel to create the boot img, but the is still 2 files I am a little confused about.
If anyone here knows anything about kernel development, could u please send me a pm or something, as i am stuck on theses 2 lines of code, and I can't do anything more with the dual boot kernel till I find a fix.
Cheers
Corey

Hi, Yes I hope so too
The Siyah dual boot is really great, I have a galaxy S2 (which I have now replaced with my note 2) and Siyah dual boot was available for that, and that's why I am wanting it on my n2 lol.

Hi,
I just read the developer forum guidelines, and it seems that it's only for guides and things u have already made, so i think this must have to go in the qustions section.
Thanks anyway

Honestly I think you can post your question in the "Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion [Developers Only]"
The section guidelines are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017367 and it's not about releases and finished products to post. (that's for the Development forum which is a different section, maybe you didn't read the proper guidelines)

It's for actual developers that want to discuss things related to development, and both give and receive help. Your question seems to fit that criteria.

yes this should be in q&a ....you just didnt use any punctuation in your run on sentence ....the part where you say is anyone making roms with galaxy s4 features is where you should have a ???????????????????
and from now on since you must not know if you didnt make or change anything it doesnt go in development ....roms and kernels go here

I respectfully disagree. The OP's S4 based rom is state of the art. As a matter of fact I'm just wondering why it's not in Original Development.
Please read forum rules before posting
Development is for developers to make threads only
This belongs in General

Mr pnut what up lol ive been around just not really messing with roms like I was when with metro lol.

I just wanted to give a shout to guys who made the hyperdrive rom, installed it on my gf s3 and it's pretty impresses. We wanted a s4 but got this s3 for a penny on att. Keep up the good work guys.........
I'll say it before anyone else does, next time post this in the ROM thread but it's good your enjoying it. But try not to make a whole thread to thank a developer. Just hit the thanks button

n00bs get scolded for breaking the rules.
As simple as that. n00bs tend not to search, read or post in correct places.
Its not that older members don't like newer members, it has come to be that a LOT of the newer people don't explicitly read the rules. If people took the time to read before posting, search before posting, post where they should, even just use google, XDA wouldn't be as cluttered as it is. But its no hard feelings, its just tough love to get people on the right path

Good to Go, OP glad you find the development impressive....another way is to just punch the thanks button to the Developer in the ROM thread you find to your liking not required or wanted, but those that put in so much effort don't ask, but will accept it.
As I stated just punching the Thanks button on the Developers thread is best....and that is totally free.

New Members should never be scolded as you say, if they have read and found the Forum Rules to their understanding. As Forum Rule #1 gets over looked so much....
And yes it can be overwhelming but a little homework and effort from Members will get them results and that is part of the learning, but so many just want to post and have it given to them....vice actually learning. IMHO
