Develop Bugs

[Q] Who started the [Q] thing?

I mean, isn't this the Q&A board? Shouldn't all topics be Qs?

I was wondering the same thing...I guess you could search [Q] and find the earliest post. It does look sharp though.

lol nice thread

The all knowing, all powerful and very annoying being who seems to appear out of nowhere just when didn't need him.

Started with the idiots who posted in the Development forum.

Yeah, well all I can find are rooted ROMs, which are not what the OP is looking for. Care to point out where I can find a link to download the final Froyo update here?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=41591391&pp=25

Look, here it is. I know I'm not supposed to hold your hand, but obviously you need it. I suggest you may want to stick to the "General" forum section. Easy-to-find forum post.

Lovely people on this forum. was just asking for help. No reason to act this way. I did look and looked for awhile. Im sorry i didnt see it but you dont have to make people feel like crap. Its just stupid

Dude, no need to be a jerk... Anyone, if that download stops working, you can download it here: http://www.google.com/buzz/superlinkx/PiHU4FDrj6n/For-those-interested-I-have-included-the-final
Be warned that this update will not flash over the leaked beta update. It will ONLY flash over 1.47, so be warned. It won't brick your phone, but you will waste about 10 minutes of your life just to see it fail. HTC said they plan to have a solution for those who flashed early within the coming days.

Why the %#$% do you have MP5 gems as a damn Holy paladin? Freaking scrub.

LOL see!!!

Just an idea here... You might avoid the so-called "jerks" by posting your Question in the Questions and Answers Forum.
Let's use a little deductive reasoning here. Why post in this forum? Don't give me some BS answer, saying something like "it relates to development," because that's a lie and you know it. Truth be told without beating around the bush... The Development Forum is more populated, and you think that because you're posting here, it's more likely to get answered quicker.
Sure, it's more populated, but there-in lies the problem. Because it's the most popular forum, these so-called "jerks" are ALSO more populated here. So your probability of having a so-called "jerk" reply is far greater. You're also going to get a more rash response simply because of posting in the wrong forum and giving a reason to these so-called "jerks" to flame you.
Not only that, but those that would normally offer the help, are then turned away from offering the help because of your posting in the wrong forum. So you're not only attracting the unwanted crowd, but you're turning away the ones that would help you.
Developers are in the development forum for that exact reason... development. You people think they don't visit the Q&A Forum at all. This is untrue. Besides that, this is a community. There are those that aren't skilled enough to be a dev but skilled enough to offer the help and point you in the right direction, and not all of them, but most of those people visit the Q&A Forum regularly.

Amen.
I regularly go to the Q&A forum to give back what i can. I can also tell you that the above is correct. the people flamed the most are those posting in the wrong forum. If you search and let them know you try people a re alot more forgiving int he Q&A forum then they are in development. Think of development as your library and Q&A as the class room.
If you are unsure if it should be in development it probably shouldnt be. If it doesnt pertain specifically to a rom and isnt asked in that Roms thread until you get to a level where you can better determine where it goes ... ask in in Q&A. Best advice i can give to people with questions.

You're right. I should have been less mean. It's just that... when people come to development with questions seeking answers, it just doesn't seem right. I'd like to apologize. And I'm not gonna go back and edit it to make it better. I'm going to straight-up apologize.
I'm sorry for talking down.

Quit crying and go home. You seriously need to learn how to use Google. We hate idiots here as it leads to tons of worthless threads clogging everything up.
Mods, please lock or delete this. Though I'm sure you are all busy dealing with all the trash coming from all the noob trying to ask how to update, each with their own thread...

[Q] n00b here (g2 and mt4g)

Can anyone post the link to where I can get the my touch 4g rom.
i had it previously on here when I bought the phone and I HATE the g2 rom.
my touch is so much more advancesd and personalized.

I guess you mean this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799903

1. Don't write "noob" in your title. People will ignore it. Write something useful instead to describe your issue.
2. This is the Hero forum and NOT the G2 forum. The phone your thinking about is called T-mobile G2 and the one this forum is about is G2 Touch/HTC Hero.
3. Post in the correct section. This is 99% NOT development related and should be in general...
4. Use the search function and Google before posting. I'm sure you can find this without having to bother other people.

I apologise

1. This is not development and should not be posted in a development section.
2. This is the wrong device area. This thread will find its way to the right place shortly, but will remain locked, given the fact the arguing will likely continue.
3. Nobody was rude. You were told this isn't the right place to find people that can help, and pointed to the correct forum.
4. This kind of thing is something you could work out by reading a few posts. You cannot run another device's ROM straight away on another device. You would likely need to port it.
Closed as explained in 2.

Hey everyone,
Just thought I'd introduce myself and let everyone know a little about who your forum mod is. I'm an Epic 4G user, and a theme developer. I'm looking forward to working with you guys, and I'm looking toward cooperation and production with this thread! Thanks guys, and feel free to post here as an off topic general post
Make sure to report posts which are violating forum rules so that I may action them! Thanks

Hello Mod,
Off topic question: I'm on the fence between the xoom and the g-slate. My issue is the dreaded possibility of a locked bootloader. I'm wondering why XDA has a forum already set up for the xoom, but apparently not for the gslate.
Any clue?
BTW: I posted a similar question in another section (its now in "About xda...") but got no responses. I hope devs will be working on g-slate as much as xoom (or more )

koush got a XOOM and rooted it and also said something about custom ROMS being on hold until the sd card is enabled.
He even has a working recovery , and I quote
Code:
As I mentioned, I have a working recovery, but will not be releasing it until Google or I get the SD card working.

Since i noticed my original post for keeping Dev sections clean.
I have trashed numerous threads already.

If you can't do it through USB, have you tried bluetooth or through online storage? Using USB, I moved music over into the already available music folder; however I am using Win XP.

Would you delete Topic/Thread 986342, the flames are so out of control that many thousands of acres have been burned to ashes. It isn't salvagable, so just moving it won't accomplish anything.
Thanks Mod, you are doing a great job considering all the noobness and ignorance you are battling.

No one is going to hold your hand here or any other place.
It looks like you actually do know a bit more than you are letting on, so why not spend a couple hours here,
do some exploration and I can guarantee that all four of your questions will be answered in great detail.
P.S. you might start off by reading the forum rules...

I understand. I am just confused as to where exactly to look/ or what to look at. There is a lot of people that use technical stuff or abbreviation here that I have no idea what it means. Also there is threads where I am confused as to if something will work on my phone or not. Hence my question for the 4.1.2 version because most I saw was done for 4.1.1.
