Who to ask about closed thread?

Hi everybody,
I wonder why a thread of mine was closed in one of the forums and I really have no idea what I did wrong and even who to ask what and why? (The thread is in the ROM development section of the Topaz forum, concerning cooked ROMs that support handwriting).
Are there seperate admins for each sub-forum and if yes, how can I find them? Or who else can I ask?
thanks & cheers

Any mod will do. You may have either posted warez, links to it/them, instructions on how to get them. Or simply posted in the wrong section altogether.

Thank you for the quick reply. I understand the warez rules and all. But this question... in the ROM development section:
Is there any decent cooked ROM that either supports the official HTC handwriting update for the Topaz or even has it already integrated?

Maybe someone else asked something similar and you are getting penalized for not searching before posting. That is the only other thing that I can think of.

oh dear, if thats the reason, I'm simply to stupid for this forum I searched and poured more than 8 hours yesterday over posts, especially the ROM post, which all have well over 2000 replies. So I know that people are asking about handwriting but the question usually just goes under in the ROM threads....
Nevermind, will post it in the admin question thread where it probably belongs. Owe you a coffee though, let me fix my paypal issues first

Hi tesla33,
Which thread? I'll have a look to see if there was a "closure" reason added. It's possible it may have inadvertently been closed during Spam cleanup by a mod that had multiple browser session/tabs open.
Cheers,

Hi hilaireg,
thank you so much for looking into this. I'm feeling almost embarassed now for all the trouble but I was kinda intimidated:

More than likely it was closed because it has nothing to do with rom development. The rom development forum is not the place to ask for specific roms or features. It should have been asked in the general forum.
The Mod should have given you the courtesy of moving it for you or at the very least a short explanation. I have from day one, had a problem with the quick unexplained trigger finger of many mods on this forum. A little common courtesy would be nice.

@denco7:
Agreed. Going to "chalk" it up to an honest mistake made by the moderator who closed it (not me).
@tesla33:
I've re-opened the thread and moved it to the General section. I see no reason why the question can't be asked . The Admins are working on the Search function of late to see about improving it ... cause at the moment, I've found needles in haystacks far sooner than answers.

As far as the searching, once you are in a thread that you think may have some relevant information for you, you will see a button that reads "Search This Thread". Simply put in your search parameters and choose to get "posts" for results. This will make it a lot simpler than going through 2000+ posts.
As far as the transcriber, there are cabs out there since lots of Chefs actually leave this option out due to lack of space in the rom. Let me know if you need help finding the cab.

Thank you, thank you and thank you
Again, I'm not complaining. I was actually considering where to put it and thought "hhmm, I'm asking about custom ROMs wit a certain capability, so better put it in the ROMs sections"
I understand how incredibly difficult it is to maintain a forum of this size and activity (I was once a Diablo2 Battlenet Mod ) and I appreciate the work you all put in there. I probably wouldnt have made this thread if it was my 400th post... after a while you get a feeling for where what goes and also for the search cloud and how to find stuff. But imagine if a newbie comes in here and wants to find out if his new Topaz is an ARM or a SH3 because he/she wants to download the Total Commander Beta... (ok, well maybe this is not the forum for people who dont know what hardware they are using)
I promise I'll behave in the future
Thank you again for sorting this out for me, very much appreciated
P.S.

Understood. But with threads this big, lets assume that somebody asks in Dutty's ROM thread if it supports handwriting on page 100 something. You cant be 100% sure that if the question was answered it contains the word "handwriting" again. So you do have to read to the nect 150 pages to see if somebody actually answered the question (Nobody did, I should know)

The transcriber apps never seem to work as well as HTC own software. I did try some (calligrapher etc) but the results are less than I expected
Ok, I really shut up now

I am actually talking about the transcriber itself, not calligrapher or anything else.

Good morning,
slight misunderstanding here because: dont ask me why but HTC did not include a transcriber in the Topaz ROMs

[Q] Substitute APNews on Bada 2.0

Hi guys!
Just one question. Have you ever tried changing APNews widget rss for any other one?
I've have tried modifying an .ini file with Trix, changing the apnews rss for another one, but reboot bucle happens when trying to connect from the the widget.
Has anyone succeed in this or has the key to do it correctly.
Thanks in advance. Happy new year, by the way!

No one?

I'm sorry but you are not in the right section to post here that type of question.
Here it is discussions about the android project on wave I and II.
This thread have to be moved to Bada software discussions.

Sorry dude, but I think it is you the one in the wrong section. This one is named Bada Software and Hacking general. And I am trying to hack/modify a firm.
The section about Android is another one. Read above

No interest to do such a thing
you may make a full app that will read retrieve RSS feeds for you

I didn't know that link. Thanx so much.
However, it was just a deal of improving my knowledge at the time of modifying firmwares. Just to know if I could change that fixed widget as almost no one in Spain is aware of that AP News Rss.
If you somehow know what to modify, please, let me know.
Thanks again

[Q] Andoid 4.4 Kitkat

Hello guys, I have finally flashed this amazing 4.4 KitKat rom on my s4, thanks to albinoman887 ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520972 . I have problems with emoji support though. I only see several emoji's.
Is there any way to fix this ??
Example : http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8yyhta8fcnc93vx

WIFI on 4.4 issues
Hi Guys,
I just flashed the 4.4 Kitkat for my GS4 from [ROM] CyanogenMod 11.0 | Android 4.4 KitKat [UNOFFICIAL] [Nov-11]. Everything work well except for my wifi. It finds my wifi but it keeps on failing to connect to it. Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Guys 4.4 is really new and really buggy. I wouldn't even recommend it as a daily driver as of now. I suggest you go back to 4.3 and edit until 4.4 had been worked on a bit more
sent from the toilet

There are also multiple threads on CM11 right now. No need for a new one asking questions that are answered repeatedly in the others.

I searched a a lot about this but couldnt find an answer anywhere. This is the reason I created the topic about this.
Otaku, I know mate but Im just trying some stuff out. I dont like to stop at 1 rom and use it for a long time, it's just way too boring.

I'm gonna go ahad and call shenanigans on your claim that you searched a lot.
The main thread for CM11 int eh development forum has roughly 9 bagillion posts about emoji issues with the ROM. Any search for "CM11 emoji" would have shown you countless posts from that thread alone on this topic.
When you signed up here you agreed to search before posting. Please uphold that promise.

This forum is NOT a forum for your to request Lineage for your device! It's a forum for the discussion of development of LineageOS. These thread I'm already seeing pop up about people asking for Lineage posts are ridiculous. This isn't a place to come and ask for people to port ROMs to your device, so please don't treat it as such. Thank you.

Oh god I hate seeing everyone requesting ROMs! I know right now I'm making an irrelevant post as it does not help anybody but I'm so pissed about it! I have no idea about how to build a ROM so I just read and wait, and not harass developers.. People are just becoming more and more dumb, impatient and selfish... Ow I don't have the words but thank you OP for posting this, I hope some will read this and it will stop them from posting ****ing requests! Have a good day anyway..

So delete the other threads asking and create a thread just for that. There are too many people who feel lost and abandoned by CM. They just want answers, don't knock them for being interested and active users. Just don't get mad, everyone is here to learn.

At this stage that thread would be worthless. This group is still in the organizational stage. First and foremost will be to attempt to build for devices that had existing official CM support.
A thread with people posting "Please build for Galaxy Note 4..." Or "Can someone make ROM for...." would be as useful as a list of all Android devices. No one is going to answer in that thread stating "in the works" or anything like that.
Most of the info is in the FAQ and people need to be patient and allow this project to get off the ground.
Thanks for understanding

great work
Just want to say a big thank you for continuing the good work of CM ROMs. We all appreciate it.

We all need to understand the massive task of picking up the pieces of CM, and making a new product called lineage really is?
Just remember how much volume CM had. The wait will be worth it,
Time will heal the wounds!
And a lot of hard working developers.
Customizing your device the way you want is priceless.

Clock in LineageOS
Hello friends,
By personal reasons I have to wake up in the morning by my phone, an Oneplus One. The last OS on my phone was a CM-13 Marshmallow... but I want to install Lineage OS... Ok, I've tried many Lineage based ROM's, but no one can wake up my phone from power off. Only the latest version of nightly Lineage (lineage-14.1-20170821-nightly-bacon-signed) can do this... But is a problem, a big problem for me... it wakes up the phone, but it's stucked on boot! It's booting for ever!
So, please, can anyone help me with anything to solve this problem? I'll appreciate any kind of help, suggestions, anything!
Or, maybe is planed an update for Lineage who can solve this kind of problems? Please, help me!
Thank you!

Hello XDA,
I have an Oneplus One phone, and, just now I installed the last version of Lineage OS and the afferent gapps. Everything goes fine, I had installed a few apps and I restart it... Now I'm looking at the display with "Android is starting"... but it never starts! I'm waiting for about a half an hour... Sometimes it pop-ups me with something like "Clock stopped working, System UI stopped working, Calendar....."... So, I cannot enter in the system. Where did I go wrong, what should I do to resolve this problem? I installed the Lineage twice... same problem, no difference...
Edited...
Finaly, it starts.... after a new installation... but now all the apps, android services, system UI.... everything "... has stopped" Again, I cannot enter in my system...
Can anybody help me, please?! Thank you.

Question [CLOSED]Why isn't there a custom rom like iOS?

Hi. I'm currently using redmi note 10, and I was wondering if there is a custom rom like iOS for my Android phone? If not then why??
I mean I have installed "Pixel Experience" on my phone but why there isn't an "iOS Experience". I know there are many folks who'd love something like that.
I've tried searching for it and found none, there are some iOS launchers on play Store but they're filled with bugs and ads.
Please reply, Thanks.

If you want something and it doesn't exists, you can start developing it from scratch.
Remember that Android is open source, the sky is the limit!

There is a goophone u cn purchase it at wish.com. Im not sure ure trolling or something. Secondly wrong device forum and even if ure at the right forum u would get i think the same reply.

iOS is a closed source
