where are all the mods right now... new members should have to go thru tutorials and pass some sort of test before being allowed membership... It seems like this kaiser rom development forum is the new general discussion

Beside the wallpaper can't change, I can use the pone as usual. Thanks

Mods have a life and are volunteers, and as such just can't police the forum constantly. I would recommend that you don't browse the forum on the weekend if you don't want to see so many noob posts. Seems like they come out in force on the weekends, and usually the mods are off trying to have a weekend. These things have been said 1000 times before. It is frustrating, i know that of course, but these posts really have little value. If you don't have anything to actually contribute through the posts then it's best if we just don't say anything.
@ OP
Questions like this should be posted in an preexisting thread, either the rom you are using, or wherever you got your themes from, there could even be a thread on the topic already...i have not looked, but doing so helps to reduce the clutter. Plus it's a forum rule.

Software Update

I have a rooted Inspire and just today it is offering a software update. When I try to do it, All I get is the android icon with a triangle with exclamation point on it. Pulled battery, rebooted phone but it is still bugging me to update. I wanna get rid of it. How??

The easiest way is to back up all your stuff and flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
Its a rooted Stock ROM with the update.
That or flash any of the ROM's from the Dev section.

I should add that once you download it, rename it PD98IMG.zip and put in the root of your SDcard. Check MD5 Sums and if they match up, power down your device, then boot into hboot (vol down + Power).
Let the bootloader find the image and then volume up to update.

Thanks for the help! You would think being an A+ and DELL certified computer technician, I could figure this Android stuff out but it's a whole different world. I appreciate the help and look forward to many more here.

Or at least be able to do a search for the answer to an extremely common question first.

God forbid you ask a question on the General Forums... Welcome to the asshole filled world of XDA buddy! I can't wait for the Mango Phone 7 update!

True, you do have a slight point but I've noticed that the search around here works about as well as every other forum. You do a search for something and you get hundreds of results that have no bearing on what you actually searched for.

Hey, what's wrong with spending 2 hours going thru a 200 page thread looking for an answer that someone can answer in 2 minutes. LOL.

If you search and don't find it your not reading, by going to the search function in the general forum, and typing in update ( just update nothing else) it will pull up about 8 threads dedicated to what this thread is about.
Everyone is welcome, and we enjoy helping someone when they follow the rules of the forum, which includes actually trying to search for an answer like most of us have, instead of asking someone to hand it to them.

Quite true. There are also people who are well aware of the browser version of the sites two search boxes, and long for the day when the XDA app will be a fully functional alternative.
XDA is a lot quicker for reading, but can't do some important tasks that are important to a serious XDA member...
Robust thread search, thanks button, easy copy of thread url for pasting into posts, etc.

For the most part, I see those posts get answers anyways. Even if it isn't from a frustrated veteran, there usually someone that just learned it themself that is willing to help. Trust me, I understand the frustration, but when you go to the stickies and see the guides and videos say they are outdated, you start to wonder if the answer you found is outdated too. I think many find it more reasurring if they can get a more current and direct answer.

The only reason they are outdated, is because the hack, gets updated once a month, and its one version 11 so there would need to be at least 11 videos, for each version of the hack kit, which would require unrooting the phone then downloading the hack kit (every time), then making a video. That is pretty time consuming.
The reason the outdated videos are posted, is an effort to educate people, on what they are doing, even if the hack kit has changed a little bit it still gives you a general idea of how it works.
With that said, this very topic, is covered in the f.a.q. of the guide, I updated about 3 weeks ago when the ota update came out, and there was 4 threads saying "my update failed and I'm rooted".

Apparently I do not know how to read.

Unable to add Voice Search to home screen - FIX

In the ICS-Bugs thread I has posted that I was unable to add the icon for the Google Voice Search app to the home screen or dock.
Well, after playing around a bit I found how to do it.
Previously, this was done the usual way: Long press->shorcuts->Apps. But for some reason the app was not listed there (I'm guessing this is because it is no longer an app but an integrated part of the android system.)
So, to add it, you have to do:
Long press->Shortcuts->Activities->Voice Search->Voice Search(.RecognitionActivity)
Voila, you have your microphone icon added.
I hope this helps someone.

Just long press the search button

Helped me.
Yes, long pressing the search button is great, but for those of us that were USED TO having an icon, it's great to still have the option. Thanks,

Ok, I just prefer less clutter. Why use an icon or widget when you already have a dedicated button for it?

Relax, some of us like coke, and some others prefer pepsi. Either option is fine.

I try to keep it clean around here. A little search and reading will answer almost all questions with no need for all these duplicate and nonsense threads. We just report the threads and then the mods delete them. It makes a mess of things and it's hard to find worthwhile threads will all the stupid threads around.

Ever consider that by posting into the "stupid threads" you are only propagating the "stupidness" -or should that be "stupidality"? I always mix up those adjectivers.

AAHK Gone?

The AAHK thread currently has "Nothing to see here - move along" and all info pulled from the first post, updated yesterday at 1:30Pish with nothing in the thread. Any details to share with us lowbies? Does it have to do with attn1's sig stating "Parted ways with XDA Developers"?

Yes, the hack kit is gone, possibly for good. If you read the last two or three pages of that thread you will see what happened.

I read through 57-end of the thread and didn't see anything from attn1 explaining why he pulled it. I did see one guy who claimed to get non-helpful responses to his queries in IRC then someone else helped him via PM after talking in the thread. Was that it? dev got critical feedback that wasn't even related to him and pulled something that has helped 1000s (guesstimating) of people?

Ok Boys and Girls Alike.
This thread is closed.
Whether or not there was an issue between a Dev and A moderator, the fact is, it a "DEAD ISSUE".
If you browse the threads and forums long enough, you will find that these things do happen. It's sad that the users are the ones who ultimately pay the price. But that's how things go.
What is NOT needed, is a gossip central forum. Let it lay. This does nothing but clog the threads with useless garbage.

[Q] S-ON/S-OFF root Help? & Key Function List HELP?? PLEASE??

1st Question:
Ok so I had my phone rooted by a friend with S-ON and now I can gain access to the root menu by using “superuser” and “root explorer.” I was able to remap a few buttons using “ButtonRemapper,” which is a great program but the only problem is that it doesn’t remamp all of the functions I want. If I try to edit the doubleshot-keypad.kl file through Root explorer I still cannot gain R/W access. I can only gain R/W access in the “/system” folder. Anything after that will still restrict the access to R/O (i.e. /system/usr/keylayout which is the file I want to edit). Is this because the phone was rooted with S-ON or am I doing something else wrong???
2nd Question:
I need help locating key functions for my T-mobile Mytouch 4g slide. I just need to know what are the code numbers for the long-press function of the 4 buttons on the front of the phone and not the keyboard. I want to change them and I’m not exactly sure how. Can anyone help?!?
I know the original function for the quick-press is like this:
# physical keys
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 188 FUNC_4
I’m trying to change the long-press function of those buttons. Also does anybody know what the button for the key number 107 goes?? It says that key 107 = ENDCALL but there is no physical button for that function anywhere 0_o

His duplicate thread was one he originally posted in the developement section and moved here by a moderator. He didn't post twice in the same place.

no offense to WeekendsR2Short because i'm pretty sure he understands my frustration by now, but all this time with all these senior members and not a SINGLE has attempted to help me out with this issue
thank you alex for letting us all know u reported the 2nd thread. I'm pretty sure with that action you've saved thousands of lives and ended world hunger. Its good to know that you and the rest of us will be able to sleep at night knowing you performed such a noble cause for all of our safety.
Now I'm sure I'm the only 1 that would like to remamp the long-press buttons on the front of the mytough 4g slide. the threads that WeekendsR2Short posted previously DO NOT cover those issues just the regular quick-press keyboard buttons. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this you help would be greatly appreciated thanx!

Look back in the other duplicate of your thread.....I answered it pretty clearly and informative....you just didn't look down.....again

Thank you xmc wildchild22 for replying to the issue. I just hope your "look down" response isn't referring to the:
[MOD] ( any ROM ) Hardware Key Mapping | Flashable zips & Requests ( GB & ICS )
and the:
[MOD] Re-Mapping Keys (Genius Button to Search - www/com button to TAB) and more..
threads which have already been recommend to me by WeekendsR2Short. their solutions do not address the particular issues I'm posting on this thread. I've been to both of those threads and posted questions and comments concerning similar issues but just not this one which is a bit different.
If your referring to the:
[GUIDE] How to root MT4GS with any HBOOT (updated 07/28/12) or the: "[How To] Flash ICS ROMs with S-ON Unlocked"
then yes I've seen those guides as well but my htc driver refuses to read my phone. Ive installed and reinstalled the latest driver but it still wont recognize the mytouch 4g slide so I cant get to far on those guides. If your referring to another guide I have over looked somehow could you please just post a link instead of just telling me to "look down" since its obvious i'm having a hard time finding the right threads for my issues.

If it's not a usb debugging problem, your usb timing might be off. I never got around to fixing it on my desktop (too lazy) so I just used my work laptop.
Timing would also cause ODIN (for samsung) and jailbreaking (for iPhone) problems.
Test on another computer.

If you will look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254518 under Doubleshot device drivers, Blue6IX will be able to explain some of the issues you're having much better than me.
I HAVE had some of the same driver issues as you have but if you could just be a little more specific.......
Is it telling you the device isn't found or just sitting there acting like it doesn't even hear you?
btw....you're going to have to look in the lower right corner of your Windows screen and make sure that HTC Sync isn't running.
