Hi.. I wanna make thread about "efs backup without pc" or other similar thread to help those who don't know.. But I'm not sure which is the best place to post it in XDA?
Also I don't how to make it mostly visible.
I've made a thread in galaxy note 2 themes and apps but I feel it's not the best portal to most android users?
Anyone can make suggestions?
Thanks..
Hi,
Just post it in the right place or else a moderstor will put it there for you.

Just put it there in general. If ur thread is the most useful, and it is the best method, moderator will do something like stickies.
But before u make such thread, be sure first that such thread is not exist here

Speaking as one who is new to the android scene. Try and make it first-timer friendly. Many write and explain in a manner that often confuse more than help.

Go to the forum home page and click on android development. Look at the stickies. They will help you get started.

There are many tutorials within these forums that explain what I believe your are trying to do. Posting a question in this sub-forum is kind of rude. I would suggest doing lots of searching and reading. When you have a general idea of what you are doing, asking intelligent questions to a developer you like and learning from them.

Not rude just slightly inexperienced, but that's fine, at least this is relatively developement related. Alot better then some questions that get asked here.

Moved to Q&A.
Making a ROM and making an app are two totally different things. First you need to decide what you actually want to accomplish. Then read up as much as you can and ask more specific questions.

You are right about "better than some", but I have looked into developing and it is very intricate process. I would do more if I wasn't in school at night and with my very young son during the days. Just asking someone to outline the process in a forum seems crazy. How hard is it to research the subject before asking detailed questions?
anyone got a JB base rom i can work off ???a leak or a port ?? anyone im new at this and wanna try any help will be greatly appreciated thank you!!
you clearly didnt look in the development section.
Yeah there are already many copies of the base rom

just help people out if you know what they're asking. if they can't bother to search thoroughly, what makes you believe they'll read a wall-of-text sticky? just clearly explain what needs to be done and everyone's life is much easier. you'll be saving them and everybody from the inevitable thread they'll create after not understanding or getting confused and doing something wrong.
my two cents. . . this is definitely one of the whinier device forums i've been on.

What makes you believe people who can't be bothered to use simple search features or read carefully prepared stickies that took time to create are auto-entitled to help in the form of a detailed answer?
Calling the folks who help others out in their spare time whiny because of some sarcasm doesn't do them just.

they're not entitled but it doesn't hurt to help. you have their attention and they're more likely to listen to you than a sticky they wouldn't even look for.
how long does it take to say "install samsung drivers for your galaxy nexus variant. hold both volume buttons down then hold power button at the same time. place cwm image in your sdk_tools folder, navigate to it using command prompt and plug your phone into usb. type 'adb devices' and hit enter to ensure your device is properly connected. type 'fastboot flash recovery [your recovery filename here].img' and hit enter. now you have cwm! now just search for a superuser .zip you can flash in recovery and you're good to go."
the other option is to just remain silent and let the topic get buried. both are better than whining, which is certainly what posts like "geez couldn't you check stickies? can't you click a stickies tab in tapatalk??" are. no doubt about that.
I would have just used a PC to search since you're going to need it anyway to unlock your bootloader.

There are simple rules required when using xda, one is searching thoroughly. Watch the noob video. Its seriously not hard.
And for something as basic as how to root your phone, you better believe that it has been covered.
*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

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.

#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

Hey! can you tell me how to root the Grand and a good rom that works dual sim mode? Ive heard that CM 11 is good
Thanks a bunch!
well try this link http://www.kingoapp.com/ you can download it free but you have to enter a serial no. to get the phone rooted if not it wont root it just run and it doesnt root the device...
And for the Custom rom you asked.. I must say CM 11 does not support dual sim function neither any ASOP based roms have this function for the time being but try Pyramid_k3 rom and GENNXT SUPERIOR ROM. I've personally used these roms and they are really good. But be adviced that the device must be upgraded to 4.2.2 stock rom to run these roms
Good luck!
Galaxy Trend Plus
Is there any chance of porting the 4.4 rom from Samsung Ace Style (the new one) to Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus?
The hardware is the same, except for the RAM on Ace Style which is 512MB and Trend Plus is 768...
Trend Plus is currently 4.2.2 only, and have no custom rom

Hey!
I dont think its something to do with your rom since you have tried to format the sd via pc too.. What kind of format did you choose? Was it a Normal format or quick format? if its a quick format you did try doing a normal one which consumes time but it works? What about the maker is it a good micro sd card maker like sandisk or kingston etc etc...? it might be the prob cuz there are loads of fake sds in the industry sometimes they tend to go bad when it used in high data exchanges... Lastly have you tried uisng another sd card and trying to do whatever the process you trying to do?? if not try it then you can surely know its a sd card prob or not...!
Good luck !
I have not read the posts properly... Bt got 1 idea that ur card not detected after you format via pc...
Do one thing u must have formated using Normal settings... You were wrong here... Just format with FAT... Not with FAT32...doesn't matter if u do with quick format or normal format... But slow format is recommended...
