Quote Etiquette - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

I definitely spend more time reading in this forum than wriiting... usually on my Tilt. It's a great board with lots of contibutors, both big and small. Some people tend to post long replies (which is a good thing)... but one thing that becomes cumbersome is scrolling through all the quoted text just for a person to ask a one line question (which usually doesn't refer to the quoted text). The reason to quote is to refer to something the author said that is pertinent to your question or comment. In fact, if you can edit the quote to only the specific text you are referring demonstrates the ultimate in quoting skill. You see this often in Dutty's thread... God bless him. His ROMs are so wildly popular that the post count goes through the stratosphere in a matter of days. This makes it a pain in the arse to go back and find some tiny piece of information, partly because of the misquoting.
If you want to direct a comment towards an individual vice the collective, simply use the @ symbal. i.e. "@Dutty"
This is not a flame thread, as you may have noticed I didn't direct it at anyone. Just a request to make a high traffic board better. Thanks, I feel better... I'm going to go drink a beer. CYA
And BTW... please don't sticky this, we have enough of those already.

Sorry my meager attempt at humor after reading 1800+ posts in Dutty's latest. I even went back and cleaned on of mine up.

Now if you could just learn some thread etiquette....
In all seriousness, I understand everyone here gets their panties in a bunch when someone asks something off topic, but if you don't tolerate that sort of crap, then you won't have anyone but the same old hens sitting aroudn admiring your work.
If people hadn't put up with a little of my newbness, I wouldn't be rockin' a Dutty Tilt Touchflo rom on my phone and showing other new fans that you don't have to put up with ****ty AT&T roms!

Good one.
Can I quote you on that?

Proper titling would be good etiquette also

Also cumbersome when there is a meaningless or non-existent title.
Maybe you or someone else could write up rules of titling.
I generally try to put in a title that is a brief abstract or summary of my post, or links the thought to the post I'm quoting.

i would like to have a wm6.1 kaiser rom

hi,guys,
i would like to have a kaiser wm6.1 rom,
which rom u recommand?
I recommend you read the sticky at the top of this forum. Then do a search on WM 6.1 roms, there are lots. Then when you understand the process you then flash away. See the links in my sig...they will help get you started as well.
Each person likes different things in ROMS, so it is very subjective. You should have done some research before posting...
Good luck.
ooo.....this thread could get interesting

I used to love this forum. I now have the hardest time just peeking in.
I have read the multi page thread about what to do about the redundant threads and none of the suggestions have been implemented (except the heavy hammer by Kyphur). alas, with the fact that our phones are now so common, we have more people than ever trying to flash. I miss the days when the XDA was one of only a few devices that people used and you cuold only find 50-60 users online at any given time.
Andrewsitu, you are one of countless junior members who want to start flashing but can't take a few moments to look around. In some ways I can't blame you, since there are SOOO many threads, many pointless and redundant, it can be daunting. But it is a chicken and the egg dilema.
Maybe we need a senior member forum only so that we can actually be productive. This is nuts. I really feel like checking out . . .

Ditto here. It did help us alot during the Beta testing.
I don't think you could just limit it to Senior Member status though as some people could just post useless info to get their post count up in order to make SM status.

Easily handled if the title was bestowed, rather than just automatic. mods could review and either grant or put them in pending status until useful posts actually accounted for the needed 100. Puts more work on the the mods in some ways, but lessens it in others (fewer closed threads). I'd also have any new thread from anyone with less than 50 posts approved for non-redundancy by the mods.
I just really miss this place and I just seem to get more and more frustrated everytime I log in. And in some ways I can't blame the NooBs, because if aI saw all these threads I'd be spinning and wanting to just take the easy way out. It would be nice to have a senior member lounge or something . . .

as someone who has read just about every post on here for kaiser I can say it is very daunting. but seriously he could at least have read the wiki...maybe we need a new main thread called..im a newb with a stupid question and im too lazy to read! I really appreciate all the help I've gotten here and I even cook my own roms now...read..read..read!!!

<Samuel Jackson mode>READ THE MF'ING STICKY, WIKI AND THEN WATCH THE MF'IN LINK IN MY MF'IN SIG IN THE MF'IN QUOTE FROM ALEX. </Samuel Jackson mode>
Once you've done that, you need to post in the right forum. Since we don't have a forum called "I've recently had my brain smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick...so please hold my hand and answer the same questions over and over and please change my diaper while you're at it" you'll just have to use the Kaiser forum. That's "Kaiser", not "Kaiser upgrading etc". Let me know if I'm going too fast for you. I don't want to have to start over...that would irritate me and I don't think any of us want that. The upgrading forum is what chefs and packagers use to work on, release, and fix ROMs and cabs and such. Experienced members also use it to provide feedback to these same guys (and girls). Think you got all that? I hope so. Because if I have to address this with you again, I'm gonna get mean.
Now, to actually address your question (because I'm in a good mood today...no...really):
Are you serious?? Do you actually expect to get a usable answer from a question like this? Can you even fathom how many different answers you'll get and how many different reasons justifying those answers?? No, you can't count that high. It's more than fingers and toes. What you are asking for is an opinion so you don't have to think. Well here's my opinion...
You can't have my opinion. It's mine. Go make your own.

Personally, I'd recommend looking through the "Kaiser Upgrading" forum for all ROM releases with "WM6.1" in the title. Then look at the list the Chef's provided of what's in the ROM and think "Do I use all those things?", then look again and think "Have I got installation cabs for the others I use that aren't there?". If the answer is "yes" to both, flash it as that's your perfect ROM. If the answer to either is "no", then note what was missing/extra and look at the next ROM. When you're done go to whichever ROM closely fitted your needs and flash it.
Oh, and for the love of (insert deity of your choice) install Hard-SPL first, then a WM6.1 Radio ROM after and don't expect your hand to be held by others in this forum until you've proven you're willing to learn the basics. Once you've proven you're willing to try, you'll be amazed how friendly and helpful everyone is.

It's not that hard to give your input. Man, you guys make it seem like suicide. Just answer his question with a couple of words and bam your done. It gets the job done and the OP is satisfied. At the OP, i like Dutty's newest 6.1. I recommend you give it a try.

Not a bad idea - it's been floating around since the Hermes days and probably earlier. BUT... would you like to sift through the 593872 (and rising) members to see which of us seniors actually qualify as useful.
In my 440+ posts some have been helpful, some fun and some flaming but NONE qualify me as a developer (the main reason for this forum). Would I be excluded?
The only real way to sort this out is to let the guys who actually run the site decide what they want, make new rules if necessary and then we live with it.

When I first saw this thread, I was wondering if u show up yourself here.

WM6 ROM Postings

Is there any possible way that we can create a thread that pertains ONLY to ROM releases, rather than the comments and issues that are involved with them? It's somewhat irritating to filter through 1000's of posts, just to find rom releases. It would be much more convenient to only have a single area with releases.
Does anyone agree?
Uhmmm, yes I do agree. Thats why I made it...its a sticky at the top of this forum...called ROM Ratings, Reviews.....yada yada...its got some of my impressions of the ROMs, and the links to em.
hey ashasaur!!!!
POLL....... Does it must be a Thread where we can said everybody to search before post????
If you think that YESSSSS!!!!!! so please post behind and type YES!!!
if not... you are one of this guys that dislikes to read.

I didn't understand a word of what you said. I think some conjugations got lost in translation.
Nonetheless, I saw the rom ratings and programs thread, but it still had a bunch of babble after the first couple posts... then it turns into yet another yap fest. I'm not trying to be a ****, I'm just giving a bit of constructive criticizm. I understand there are quite a few people putting their heart and souls into this, and it's greatly appreciated. But, it can be a bit tough to navigate and find what you want.

I still can't understand what you're trying to say. It's as if someone threw a bunch of words into a bag that dealt with ROMS and Criticizm and tossed them into a paragraph.
The reason I made this post was because the other was long, and I wanted to address the fact that it was TOO LONG. After a certain point, the ROM post was no longer functional for what its specific purpose was. For me to post in that thread, would be going against why I wrote this, and why you ran your mouth in the first place.
The ROM list thread needed to be locked to only admins or the owner. Have a different thread for ROM recommendations to post on to that LOCKED thread, so you don't have casual conversation and questions thrown into it. This "Constructive" criticizm is meant for admins and for others to ponder, so it's easier to navigate. Unless you have those powers, please quite pissing about this ****ing post and do something worthwhile. I'm not here to waste my time with some moron who has a broken translator program.. I just want to point out that there MAY BE A BETTER WAY to assist people if you would quit arguing with me.

Can you parent up and take a look at the legitimate question I asked before having someone jump on me, only because they had no idea what I was trying to accomplish? Because I've been on this site since June, and haven't had anything to say except for a recommendation, I don't have the right to defend myself against someone?
I didn't ask any other questions, because flashing and creating roms isn't exactly rocket science. The point I was getting across, only dealt with the way they were posted on the site.
Please, tell me you wouldn't feel offended if the same words were said to you, when you were trying to help and have a tiny bit more experience than rom building. I find the site interesting and think it's cool that everyone's creating their own. I also have respect for the admins, because I did this type of work years ago. The thing I don't have respect for, is some kid telling me to do a search in a condescending manner, just because he's posted enough garbage on a website to consider him a "Senior Member" though he obviously hides behind admins like the little chihuahua you see in cartoons, jumping around the big bulldog.
I'm through with this post, and I'm sure you're pleased about it. You can post after me, knowing that the pansy (and probably incomprehensible) comment you leave will be without a rebuttle. This isn't at "Ashasaur", and I'm sure he'll understand what I'm getting at.
Just because an old veteran in programming decides to mess with his cell phone and help some admins with their website layout, doesn't mean he should be treated with disrespect because he JUST created a user on the site. It's like ****ing Juan Valdez walking into Starbucks and asking for a black coffee, only to be laughed at because he didn't know they didn't serve it.

Problem With Screen Timeouts on CM 4.2.11.1

I am having a problem with the screen timing out, and going black. This seems to happen regardless of whatever I am doing on the phone (texting, browing internet, etc) The touch recognition does not keep the display on, and the phone will go black right in the middle of my typing. the only way to keep the display on is press the menu button. Any advice? Its a clean install, just installed yesterday

@Chris....Have you rebooted your phone since you flashed the 4.2.11.1 upgrade? This happens to me every time I flash a ROM update for Cyanogen, but it is resolved after the first reboot. I would give that a shot.
@Shadow....Yet again a great example of why people are ditching XDA and moving on to other forums for their dev needs. Funny how number of posts somehow adds you to this elitist group of complainers.
@XDA....Can we please change the membership ratings? My proposal is:
Junior Member -1-50 posts
Member - 51-100 posts
Senior Member/Verified *****/I rule the world so you better know that prior to posting anything - 101+ posts
Feel free to pick one out of the 3 for the last category.....but I am reallying hoping for the second choice...cause it pretty much describes how most of your "Senior Members" act.
....And before I get flamed/suspended.....remember I said "most", not all.
oh damn, i thought i was in that forum... my bad. but thanks bwinger for answering me. yes, that seems to have worked.
You should try wiping and use the base rom and try cyan's rom again.
In settings change timeout to 2min or something higher.

Honestly, I don't think shadowch31 was out of line whatsoever. It's not being elitist to chastise others for not following simple rules. The OP is a selfish ass, who seems to be under the impression that this forum is dedicated to him and his problems alone. Like I always say, if everyone who had an issue with a ROM posted a new thread, this forum would be absolutely un-navigable. The CyanogenMod has nearly 10,000 posts. Assuming only half of those are issue-related, that would be 5,000 more threads scattered about this forum.
Maybe people aren't ditching XDA because others are putting them in their place. Maybe people are ditching XDA because of all the morons flooding the site with garbage. This is a development forum, not a personalized troubleshooting team for each user.
To the OP, stick to AndroidCommunity or a similar site. If you keep up this crap, you're not going to be welcome here for very long.
ironically most of the garbage on here is from ppl who flame lower ranking members. who gave you the authority to disrespect or even abate other members? Bottomline we ought to have more respect in here for all members. we all started as juniors...but besides that you are a loser if you waste your time arguing with people you don't even know anyway.

Oohhh a feisty one I see, makes it more enjoyable extinguishing your little flame there.
If this had not been his very first post (proving yet again why people should be forced to read the rules and learn what a search button is and it's function) and had it been posted in the correct thead which is ALWAYS on the front page here I would have answered happily. Also might help if this wasn't about the fifth post alone today that has been reported for being in the wrong place I MAY have been nicer.
Now as it happens the OP has held his hands up and said he posted in the wrong place and apologized which is fair enough and hopefully it will be removed and put into the right place where it is going to get the proper attention.
Now we come to you and your oh so inflated ego and possible super hero complex 'coming to the rescue of the weak and feeble' oh please! What's up didn't daddy pay you enough attention growing up? See we can all be a-holes now can't we, just some of us do it with flair
Now you can change my Senior Membership to 'You Been ***** Slapped'
Have a great life, not really I mean it!

ironically most of the garbage on here is from ppl who flame lower ranking members. who gave you the authority to disrespect or even abate other members? Bottomline we ought to have more respect in here for all members. we all started as juniors...but besides that you are a loser if you waste your time arguing with people you don't even know anyway.

Your perfectly right.
Now go off and find my first and every post afterwards and IF you find one out of place then I'll never speak again.
What can I say, I learnt to read the rules first. Not my fault!

I never argued whether or not this was posted in the incorrect section....it obviously was. That being said....look at how you responded to someone who simply posted in the incorrect section. Wouldnt it have been easier to just say it was in the wrong section and move it?
And whats with the daddy jokes (I think it was supposed to be a joke)?? How old are you? You are really showing your lack of maturity with your responses. And if you didnt notice.....the only peeps that support you in flaming my post are....thats right....you guessed it...Senior Members. Lets try to keep things in perspective here. I have no ego. Someone posted with a problem....and I gave him/her a possible solution. I get paid to do this sir.....so my ego gets its fill of praise at work....I do not need some forum for that....unlike some.

C'mon. I don't even have 50 posts here and I'll already tell you all that this isn't a board for making almost 100% of the thread a flame war. In fact, there's no board for that. Hopefully OP can get his/her answer and we'll all be good.
Even my post is irrelevant. Yay for contribution. :|
I love these threads, they are just funny to see internet fighting. At least the wrecking crew made people laugh and did it with style where even the op had a good time and joined in.................. I miss the good old days

Captivate vs Iphone 4 vs Nexus One

I was trying to help others in similr situations. But unfortunately the biased fanboys came to town to complain about the iphone being better in which I made no such claims. I happened to be in a situation where I have been doing extensive testing to determine which phone is best for me and tried to share. Nuff said. Mods please delete this useful, detailed, but not wanted post.
yeah it does...but not be an asshole, but was this thread really needed?
There is an iPhone vs. Captivate thread already here, and adding the nexus one is a nice touch but it could have been placed in the same thread.
I liked the post, I'm just all for keeping the forum clean and every day i check and there is another 30 threads all of them kinda similar...we need a mod (i'd do it) fast so that we can merge threads
EDIT: I just noticed you wrote the same EXACT thing in that thread...this thread is really useless...

if we all just stop posting it'll go away...until mods can start locking threads
Cons: No flash/light for camera or Video. No LED notifications. No front-facing camera. No cursory navigation (trackball or other software based cursor placement). Poor power button placement. Stuttering OS experience. Poor sound on speaker, tinny sounding.

Theres no need for the camera to have flash...its good enough as it is, led notifications it was good back in 2000, front facing camera errr theres only one us carrier that supports cripple quik video calls(sprint),trackballs,trackpads?? it has a touchscreen...use your fingers duh!, stuttering os? wtf i have had no lags what so ever, install launcher pro...poor speaker sound?? wtf do you want, a 1000w subwoffer?, tinny sounding? your insane i guess, the captivate has an onboard 3d sound card which deliver's exelent sound output/input.
btw: stop reposting bull**** this is getting very annoying.............

You're right it was useful AND detailed - but you posted it twice. If you've ever been apart of ANY forum you know that people don't like double posts.
I don't see any comments about you thinking the iPhone is better, nor do I see any fanboys in this thread...all I see is a post made by you that has almost the same exact title as another post right before it in which you posted this same exact content.
THAT is the area of discontent amongst the forum users

Instead of trying to find info at the bottom or middle of a thread, I tried to put the info out there in the face. As much as I don't like clutter or stupid posts, I do like to find info. For every post that has info, there are thirty posts with ignorant comments. I was trying to help. But obviously those that can't see the truth, cant be helped.

That is the sentiment I was trying to convey.
Also the title promotes fanboyism and challanges other's perspectives which would start a war.

I guess replying to an existing post and creating a new thread are different in my eyes. I thought I was helping by bring the info up top. I saw no stickied posts. My bad. I don't post much here, so I see how the law of the land is (doesn't exist). Peace...

you can be as bitter and snide as you want, but the fact still remains that you were double posting and giving out pure opinion.
there are two threads already created, one comparing the facts of both phones and one with user impressions...
you posted your opinion fine. people who are looking for information should search for it, it does not take long, especially when the thread title is so descriptive. Also, the thread is so active that it is always near the top, it wouldn't take much to find your thoughts.
eventually the comparison will be stickied, but until then being one of the top 5 topics should be enough to help anyone who needs to find YOUR specific observations (many of which are not shared by the consenting public)
so goodbye, I'm sure no one will miss you here
Thanks

This is a flaw of text based communication, you can't really infer tone/intent/feelings unless it was blatant flaming. I agree with you. I don't flame at all, but I have read over a lot of these threads. With that said, I think some of these developers are just overly sensitive about remarks on an internet board. I think you have to assume there will be assholes participating on open internet forums and prepare yourself for such...this is just how it is.

There will always be people who are rude and obnoxious, and that is what banning is for. However, some people don't even realize that they are being rude. That is who this is for.
Its kinda sad how much drama we have now. But like always xda will keep on keepin on
I like the little spats... keeps things interesting... Especially the weekly Axura dramas
I also believe when a trillion billion people say... "SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH" it helps most of the time..
It is a message board, you will have people being dicks...and you will have people that aren't dicks. We have a report button for a reason, however it seems to take a little while for things to happen even when reported. I know I have reported threads and people before and nothing changed. I even asked for a PM if what I was reporting was incorrect. But it isn't just about people flaming. It is people taking words out of context. I like to joke around and if I put a JK after a normally demeaning remark to me it makes it a joke and playful. However at least twice have people gotten on my case as if I was being an asshole because of the comment even though it is clearly stated in the post as being a joke. It is everyone, and it is our job to police.
Adam seemed to do a decent job with Axura, after Master created it and Hansmrtn continued the project. I don't know what he did other than what most other people seem to do with these and piece together components they like and package it into a zip. It does seem like some do more than others but you have to take criticism. Now, badgering and cussing at a person has no place on the forum, and those that do need to leave. That is the Moderators job. Adam left because either he could not take the fact that the Rom he took over had issues he could not control, or because we were not doing our job policing and having Moderators take care of people going out of their way to berate an individual.
And no offense to you but you seem to be trying to become a Mod with all of your threads created. What exactly are your motivations here, is it to question the people on the board and how we act, or are you trying to show that you can do a better job than those already in position?
Don't worry.. about the people that flame there are more people that don't even post that love the work that is being done here..

Since you brought that up, I was trying to figure that out as well.
if somebody is offended by what a person says on the internet, they probably shouldnt be here in the first place. I find it hard to believe anybody intelligent enough to provide good dev work for a device to be bothered by this.
I see nothing wrong with the quoted posts, but i'm insane.

If you are referring to my stickied guides, I am not a developer, I do not know how to make a ROM. However, I still wish to contribute to XDA. So I have done that by creating guides to both help struggling users and keep the forums clear of useless questions. I am in no way trying to prove anything, I am simply trying to help other users. I posted this specific thread because I was sick of what was going on and the moderators weren't doing enough.
they're doing more than enough.

I would have to agree with that and yet it still goes on. I don't get the big deal you are making about this post. I was just trying to get my message across being:
"don't be obnoxious on the forums"
Rule of thumb i use, if I do not like a rom, I flash another without commenting. If I do not like an aspect of a rom and I change something and feel it is an improvement I post but say it in respect. Who am I to criticize those who create here? There is plenty to say but discretion is an overlooked virtue

You're the one making the big deal. If all you wanted to do was get a message across, put that message in your signature. Was it really necessary to create a new thread with that title?
Tone it down a notch or two, lay off the new-thread creation for a few days...

So you are not a Dev in any way? Why do you have a donate button? I am just curious. No need to answer if you don't want.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
he may not actually create content, but he does put effort into organizing it ( from what i've seen in his wikis and whatnot ). whether or not thats worth donating for isnt anyones decision but those using his guides.
