For RickyJune

I think this is what you were after. If you unzip it and put the folders in your main memory (windows, programs or somewhere similar) you can use them as tray apps.
If its not what you wanted the answer is i don't know
Noticed you've had ringtone troubles. try the cab

And why couldn't this be done in a PM? was it really needed to start a new thread?

For Austinsync
Bless you really are quite bored aren't you. Thought they might be helpful to more than one person to answer your question.

Well, he does have to increase his post count.

He may be trying to increase his post count, but he had a valid point.
Johnston411 answered a question previously asked by Rickyjune. This was presumably asked in a thread or post in this forum so why wasn't the answer posted there to share with anyone reading that post?

Ah ok - have done the same myself, so appologies.
As for PM's - I don't have a problem with answering them but I normally check out who they are from - but I DO have a problem with PM's from people who ask questions they are too lazy to research awnswer to. I'll also try to find a relevant post to attach the answer to if not PM'd back.

Fair comment. Didn't think to check for a relevant post to stick it in. Will bear it in mind in the future.

[FAQ] User signature?

Is there a way I can add my own signature on here? I heard that it is in USER CP but the option isnt there ...
Moderator Edit - Here's the answer from svetius
svetius said:
This was an effort to combat spam, and it's had a huge impact! You'll be upgraded to a full account after a certain number of posts (5 - 8 depending on the feature)--it happens automatically. Sorry for the inconvenience

It may take time after reaching the 5-8 post limit for it to allow you access, this is because the process runs in the background.
And when you have enough posts, you can edit your Signature in the UserCP (on the left hand side called "Edit Signature").
Or just click here : Edit Signature

i wonder if how does this help in stopping spam ..... anyways .... whatever you feel is good should be good someways

People / Bots were Posting generic messages, like "Thanks this is great" or in some cases, actual responses based on words in a thread. The post it's self was not spam (although pretty pointless), but the users signature would contain 3-4 links to an online company of varying levels of trustworthiness.
We used to find one or two of these bad boys a day. Because they didn't create new threads, nor did they make it obvious to the casual observer, they were getting away with it.
I have not seen one of the so called "signature spammers" since the rules were put in place.
Dave

I had the same question...this is an excellent way to manage spam users. Good job, looking forward to delving more into this forum and getting a signature!

I was a bit upset at not being able to have a signature. Thanks Daveshaw for explaining. Its indeed a great way to stop spammers.

You should be all set now, check your User Control Panel

finally i found the way!!!thank you

At last I found out why I cant use signature.
I will be using the "search" more.

ah so
so that's why I couldn't see it, cant wait to unlock my sig status

Ya the post limit thing when you start a new account is a good idea to keep the spam to nothing..

But you could post it in General, and then help a few people out while you were there, in Q&A, if your device has one. Don't bother with useless posts, they will be deleted and you'll never get to 10.

Well, you might be right but its not that easy. You know I have experience in those stuff in the development forum, but I have no way to make posts there.
I dont wanna be a sort of spammer by posting stupid stuff to get all the 10 posts.
But this 10 post rule leaves no other way to accomplish...
To find a topic that I can make a useful post takes a lot of time.

If you can't spend the time to make ten legitimate posts before posting in the dev fora, then you don't deserve to post there. This is a developer forum, not a support website.

Oh really? I was a clueless noob total non-developer when I came here and I had no trouble at all helping people who needed links or a little guidance where to find the information they need. XDA works because people help those who help themselves. Do not post useless posts, they will be removed and you'll never get to 10.

Why did this thread get unlocked? Now it's more noobs that can't read and just complain again.

I requested that it remain open. I've helped out others with legitimate issues before here. Also, leaving it open allows mods to track spammers easily.

Welcome to forums
You need to arrive to certain number of posts so all XDA features can be unlocked.
Keep posting and you´ll get soon.

I was posting a solution to fix annoying wi-fi issues with Samsung Galaxy I 9000 with images but the forum is not allowing me to post ? I plan to contribute a full series of problem fixes with this particular device. Can any mod allow images only (no links to other sites) for my account ?

How do I give thanks for a post?

Hello, all.
First of all, let me say that I did not make the decision to create a thread lightly. I have been a member of this forum for over a year, and this is my first post. I have looked everywhere, but cannot find this simple answer.
How do I thank a member for his/her excellent work? Specifically, I have been trying to thank twa_priv for his excellent Kindle Fire JB build, which I have been using fr the last week or so. I cannot find a thank button. I do not have permission to post in the thread; (which I do not have any intention of doing, anyway, unless I have a specific question or error to report) but, does that mean I do not have permission to thank? Do I need to spam away 9 more posts to have the right to thank someone? I read that there should be a picture of a flower (or, at least, there would be on Tapatalk, which I am not using), but don't see anything of the sort using Chrome on Ubuntu.
Thank you in advance.

Now that you have replied, the "Thanks" button has appeared on your and others' posts. I don't understand why it wasn't before, but all is fine now. Thank you!

Hey, and you even hit it. Awesome! Perhaps you just need someone to reply to one of your posts to activate it initially? I learned something today.

Give thanks
left side there is a thanks button

To activate the thanks button, you need atleast one post as a member...

And after posting sign out and back in. That is what worked for me.
And thanks to a.cid for posting how to be a new user. I read that a while back, before I ever joined xda. :banghead:

That's exactly the information I was looking for. The link was helpful, too. You may have noticed that I gave a disclaimer to my post. I have been using this forum for thirteen months without ever having posted anything. I felt like a total jerk for even having had to create a thread for something so trivial. I usually search and easily find the answer to any question, but was not finding anything about this. I am certainly trying not to be obnoxious to anyone. Thanks again!

We need more members who know how to search for answers. The fact that you made it 13 months without posting is impressive.

Thank you all for this post. Had I searched a day or two earlier, it probably would have been a lot harder to find this info.

Moved to About XDA section.

hopefully this solves it
I have the same problem. Hopefully this first post of mine will reveal the illusive thanks button

left side dont have meh?

You will need a few more thanks to move the meter, 24 more to be exact. Good Luck!!
[GUIDE] How to be a New User (and not a noob)

Trying to be a good new user I searched for how to give thanks and found this thread instead of spaming other threads with "Thanks for posting" Appreciate the clarification on why I couldn't see the thanks button.

Thank YOU!
I actually joined this site just to thank someone who posted an updated app, but wasn't sure how until I saw this.
Feels like a lot of hoops, but hopefully it's worth it.

It's at the bottom-left of the post . I don't have it at first but after my first post , *poof* it's there and available XD

Thanks for the thread as I also want to be able to give people their just due.

Just in addition:
On Tapatalk and XDA app, just long-press the post you want to thank for, then scroll a little bit to the right in the appearing actions menu and select "Thanks" (may be in your system's language).

Enable thanks button by having a post
This is my obligatory first post to enable the thanks button. Figured this was the best thread to do it.

XDA search - link to post incorrect

Hi, don't know if this is just me but for a while now when I search a thread and click on the post it no longer takes me to it, seem to take me somewhere near it but no actually to it any more. Is this a known issue?

I suppose you mean to say it dosen't take you to the latest post. Actually, it takes to the first unread post.
If you have a different problem, you can always contact one of the admins.

Not its not that, try this as an example. Searcha ROM thread for somerthing, "battery drain". Pick one of the thread replies and click on it. It used to take you to the exact place in the thread where it was so you could then view the subsequent replies, now it doesnt even take you to the right page so looking for anwers to questions is much more difficult.
