Are you a NOOB? Ask any NOOB questions here

*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'?

because most n00bz have the same question! and other people don't want to see it posted 1000s of times plus it waste space on the servers.

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.

ARE YOU HIGH?! No noob is EVER gonna see this. You didnt post it in the development section. :laugh:

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.

Triangle Away.apk

Hello Guys I need your help please, i am going nuts over this.
I recently rooted my Galaxy Note 2 N7105, then days later my external sd card went, then now it can't connect to wifi or mobile data.
I have downloaded
Samsung-Updates.com-GT-N7105_MM1_1_20121012152856_ah7cer98dy
and have been trying to download the latest Traingle Away.apk for my device but all of the link are either bogus or i keep getting sent to google playstore which is pointless since my device does not currently have a data connection
PLEASE HELP !!! i just need the the Triangle Away.apk file so

Look at the devs thread

OK so my device is not able to go online through wifi or mobile data access but the when i open the Triangle Away app its says it need to download an add on, any ideas on how i can sort this out please
Now i know most of you are experts at what you do and my questions may come across as stupid to you, if you can help that will be great thanks.

Ok i give up ..... Note 2 is going to scrap heap since If anybody wants the hardware to do whatever with let me know

Why don't you just flash a new firmware through Odin after downloading the Rom off of sammobile.com. maybe that will sort your phone out for you.

This is the dumbest thing I read for a long long time.
In order to get proper help you need to explain your problem properly.
What is the issue and what are you trying to achieve and for what reason?

OK, now seriously, did you flash it with new Rom? It should help. You don't need Triangle Away to fix it. Don't give up, keep trying
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app

Im far from an expert but let me help out. The app he is trying to use to fix the original problem needs a network connection be it data or wifi. His problem in the start is his phone cant get either..
Jeeeeez some peoplec
read what I put, not what you think I put.....

you have the firmware - just odin it into your note 2 or try one of the custom roms and see if it fixes your problem. you do not need triangleaway unless you want to return the device or use your warranty; it does not make your phone run any better

Changing Carrier Label?

Does anyone know how to change the carrier label on the Note 2?
I've tried many of the apps and none seem to work.
I'm on Novella Dos Rom but I also tried it on Cleanrom and I can't find a way.
Thanks in advance.

I believe the appropriate XML file is located in SystemUI.apk
Edit: i haven't manually changed it in a while. And when i did it was on a different device. Truthfully I'm not 100% how to change it on the n2 but i know the ROMs i run like aokp and other variants let me do it with ROM control.

Anything other than the default Rogers message. Maybe Samsung... even a blank message would be better. It ruins the clean look of my lockscreen. :*
