Hello, I frequent the CDMA Hero boards several times a day and the subforum lacks active moderation. Control of stickies, keeping threads on topic and maintaining the general peace.
Here is a thread from the subforum that several users have mentioned, requested an active moderator.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598677
Yes, we desperately need some help over there. It's a bit of a mess right now but has the potential to be a great forum!
Thank you obelisk79 for spearheading this.
I don't use the device nor am I familiar enough with Android to be effective there. However, I'll bring it up to the mods and see if we can't get someone to take a closer look. I'll check things out now and see how they look too.

Thanks, the subforum has needed serious attention for a week or so.
Glad to help however I can. If you do see something that may need some attention, please send me or another mod a PM and we'll take care of it.

Thank you for paying attention to this. The threads you have stickied will be a great help to people looking for info or ROMs.
There is one ROM thread you overlooked though:

Please sticky it.
Thanks again!

Hmm.. didn't see that one last night. It's stuck now, thanks.
You can request mods?
Sorry about asking.
Our subforum was just feeling a bit neglected. We were just looking for someone to come in and clean things up a bit. The mods have taken care of things for us which his greatly appreciated by all the CDMA Hero users.

I have 15 nandroid backups. What is the quickest way to get rom info (like what you get in options and about phone), names of apps installed and pull all the sms? I see that they are image files can I mount them in ubuntu and just browse? Tried but nothing worked so far. Is there away I can mount the images in the emulator? I have been restoring them to my phone 1 by 1 but its time consuming and leaves me without a phone while its flashing. Is there a faster way to go about this or am I stuck flashing a couple a time?

LMAO....No I didn't cut the link short! Like rushco said, I meant to direct you to the Q&A section where this question belongs and I did it in a rather sneaking way instead of being a rude SOB to you and getting your feeling hurt........Learn from this and just don't do it again.

I posted a question there over 6 months ago and I did not get a single reply that subforum is garbage im better off on my own... I marked the post as a question and if they don't want me asking questions here why is there a "Is this post a question" checkbox in this subforum? As you can see I don't make threads daily for the simple reason of making threads. If I make a thread is because I have a question whose answer I believe will help many in the future. As you can see from my last thread most of those answers are simple for a dev even now after 6 months of using android I can answer or provide alternatives for most of them. There are not enough knowledgeable people in Q&A and posting there is a waste of time. Yes I have searched and not just this forum. Maybe ill go to the ubuntu forums see if they can point me in the right direction for mounting the images.

For some reason you seem to think forums are mutually exclusive. Never said I was leaving simply said I would try more than one place for a solution. Thanks now the thread was moved to q&a so all future responses will be as useless as yours. BTW toast thanks for moving the thread without input. Don't worry about my feelings when you troll as much as I do you don't take anything online personal I think you should know that.

I just been doing backups since I started flashing roms and for some reason did not think to back up sms. I have been flashing them its time consuming but its weird to see what my phone looked like (widgets/wallpaper/lockscreen/topbar/launcher) several months ago its like going back in time none of them are the same. Im starting to delete them now since I took the long way I haven't really had time to find an alternate method. If I find how later I will post a separate thread to save some time in the future.

If you want to backup you sms messages, I believe there is an app, sms backup that others use.
Does any dev plan to make a rom for our device anytime soon? It seems there are official updates only for Gnex and few other devices at present time. I am guessing maybe a week before SamMobile releases something. Thoughts? Ideas? Answers?
Yes its a question

I do not see the answer there...Only how to TAG things with {MOD} or so on. And devs are reading THIS forum more! So I do not agree. And I am now an OP so leave my thread ALONE!
i agree wrong section, this is a question therefore it deserves to be in Q&A or just locked and deleted some people are still noobs
Lol, I like the idea of the thread, it's pretty neat, and friendly competition is great. The poll is a great idea but all your devs in it aren't even working on making any AOSP roms, except Jamison with AOKP but he is still dabbling with source and such. The link I gave you are the rules of what you can post in this sub-forum, none of the bunch include asking a question at all. Calm down a little and learn the rules my friend. Oh and I'm already running a 4.2.2 rom

Meh. Reported.
I reported it before I posted in it to help the guy out. Mods are busy with the announcement of 4.2.2. I'm sure there are about a 100 posts being made a minute in the wrong sections all over the world.

I do not see you answering this question. And if they wanna move it to QA...they will. I dont care at this point. I just want an idea of when we get in on this since it seems lately its only days after an announcement that someone has access to a build or source. So again, instead of whining at me....answer me! And if a Moderator is reading...go ahead...move this to Q/A...makes me no difference at all. I think this is relevant to development/developers. So if any Moderator disagrees...please move the thread. Again I do not care nor do I have that ability. I am just OP but do not have such functions on my interface.
From the moderator
Do not post this kind of thing here......... it belongs in Q & A not Development........ IF anything ends with or implies a "?" mark...... then it goes to Q & A
Next time posting non development related topics here will get infracted......
Thread moved to Q & A
Thanks ~~ oka1
Again...I said I dont mind

Nothing wrong with enforcement. I just thought it might get MORE views in DEV area is why I posted it. If the rule is strict (ends in ? ) then I will not post again. So apologies if they are warranted

Why are you so angry haha? I gave you some insight and if you search a little OP you will get an idea of who might be dropping a 4.2.2 rom. I will not give you any other insight or links to such threads that might be only a couple away from your thread. Because you are simply not polite but demanding, and your tone is unheard of in these threads. I say good day.

It is question as to if they have access to builds...and where those might be. I am not asking for timeline for anybody to MAKE a rom at all. I basically wish to know idea of when there will be something out there for us to use on S3 devices in USA. Pretty much an information thing not ETA thing. Understand??
Why don't your reply to me?
I gave you information and you no reply to me? Why?

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.

More like confused as hell right now. Can someone answer the root from [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [TMO] will work on 4.1.2 version of our phones i only see 4.1.1 in the options :/
Yes, i know that everyone of you (examples below) have very important question, that deserves separate thread, but, for God sake, don't spam the forum!!! (yes, my thread is meant to be provocative...). There is Q And A for Ace II thread for most of that questions...
Examples:
"[Q] How to root Ace gt-i8160 with BTU MC8?" (yes, it freakin' special technique to root phone working on that firmware)
"[Q] It is possible Update to JB?" (oh yeah, nobody answers that question so far, it required new thread)
"[Q] PIT?" (yes, that question probably would be ignored in q & a thread... the same way its ignored in separate thread)
"[Q] Change camera settings?" (veeeery important, no comment)
and so on...
Am I the only one here tired of all that spam?

I totally feel you man. People are behaving here like it's some technical support not respecting the rules they agreed to accept while registering here. Constant mess, chatting in threads, useless posts about personal feelings, asking questions which require spending 10 seconds with Google or forum search function. But the saddest thing here is that it seems like people who want to keep forums clean are actually minority here. Or at least they are instantly quenched by those who have to quote entire-page-long post to say only "thanks" and are raged about being offended and abused.

Exactly. Its like they're on Facebook or this forums is like a social networking site to them.
Ask the forum moderators to make this thread a sticky. So that everyone can see it.
How about if we just ignore (and report) any new useless thread and be a little more active in the Q&A Thread?

That's a good solution. Were not annoyed but the mods are. What do think? LOL.
Leave them alone and just try and point them to the right direction. If they do it again, report that user. I'm active on Q and A but some are just "you know" I don't really want to talk to people who you'd still have to walk through every little detail. I'm not good with explaining myself so I tend to ignore posts that ask me to do just that.
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda app-developers app
very right. i don't know why any people always post a new post to ask? some question is spam! made our forum is do not beautiful, it's make messy and not subtle. I know if always report any spam question make they be bothered. i don't think out solution for now
YEAH! thats is why i created the All about ace2 for GB and JB to lessen this problem anyway its way to many to report each same question or post
I'll try to enlighten all of you... BECAUSE THE Q&A THREAD DOESN'T WORK!!!
Until I see a forum moderator saying that all the question should be posted there I will never do it again (only done it once) and I'll explain why:
1. To make any Q&A thread work we would expect someone to maintain and index on it, but this isn't the case here.
2. Posts are ignored because they get lost in all the discussions going on there.
3. Answers are lost because most of the time no one knows if the answer is to your question or to the question 2 posts below yours.
4. Search is impossible if you don't know the exact words used.
Maybe the reasons above are part of the motive other devices have a specific areas for questions, like "Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" that have 3000 posts in it... Trying to make it all fit on 1 thread is completely useless and extremely confusing. No one can expect a user to go thru 100 pages trying to find an answer to his question.
Now picking up on the 1st question, let me make another one...
Why do some users in this forum spend more time "demanding" people to post where they think is right other then helping people?
If we were a bit more friendly maybe more people would stay and help out, instead we just drive people out with this kind of aggressive and unjustified comments.

You have right, partially.
But the questions are left without answers for several reasons:
- the answer was posted before
- nobody know the answer
- the answer is easy to achieve just by checking by oneself.

Did you see a policeman helping a thief to break the law only for one reason: to be nice, kind and helpful?? And this is what you propose.
Answering your question: Because i want to keep our subforum CLEAN. How many of that "new question threads" was already answered (sometimes in SEPARATE, dedicated thread)? And what you propose is to help other breaking the rules.

Really? I think it doesn't work because people like you never learn. Questions are answered there - that's the purpose. And that purpose is served.
Questions are lost because some can't answer them, or its too easy if you learned to read and simply because the question itself is dumb (the answer is obvious yet they choose to post it)

Since we don't have a section like that, I think its better to use a single thread. thus searching would be faster.

In all honesty, I usually tell the user the answer and direct them to the q and a thread for any other questions irrelevant to the question on the thread.
