There have been allot of misunderstandings recently about where to post certain posts, and to ask certain questions. We are all here to help each other. Sometimes that help comes in the form of pointing you in the right direction. XDA member TRusselo has made several awesome and informative posts. If we will each just take the time to read these post we will save allot of space, time, and friendships.
[New Members][Guide] Get the most out of XDA!! - This one has some great info on the different sctions, like this-

Why you get short/one word answers! (The Long Answer) - This explains the reason you sometimes get answers you don't feel are complete or specific enough. The reason people say search, instead of just giving you the answer outright.
A Plead to the members of XDA, is a very well written plead for us all to just get along. (Which I totally agree with.)
I am begging each and every person to PLEASE read these post in their entirety. If we do, I really feel this can be a much friendlier place to hang out. We are all trying to accomplish the same thing. Just use common sense so that we don't frustrate the few people we have left here to help us. I am sorry if anyone takes offense to this. I just wish we could all be on the same page. There are some great, much smarter people here then me. I would really like to learn from them and not turn them off to helping us out.
Thanks,
Tim
I couldn't agree with you more.
Thanks Tim, nicely done.
Very much agreed. Only thing is the search feature does not work as well as people would like you to believe. Many times I don't even get anything close to what I'm searching for. Just throwing that out there, not to freak on people when they say they search and can't find nothing.

I can agree to this from experience, sometimes it doesnt give you any results to what your looking for. BUT maybe re-wording the search will help a little.
nice! I just hope people follow this..

Analogy (from Greek "ἀναλογία" – analogia, "proportion") is a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject

I expected the thread to be deleted.
The hand-holding would be a good forum. There are times when I do not mind going through the same old stuff with someone(not often.)
The anal one... just get tired of people complaining about little stuff that they knew was wrong with the phone from the beginning.
Neither of the two categories are bad, but when the anal guys and the, 'oh god! hold my hand please' guys invade the developers forum, the really good info becomes harder to find with a search.
I know this isn't a perfect world, the post was meant to be light hearted.
If I've offended anyone... well, thanks for making my day
well its not that offensive. what's wrong with calling someone anal retentive? which is what I knew you meant. its not like you named names or anything.
Waaay to much anal talk going down in the infuse forums...

Hey, I really apologize if I had offended anybody.
Honestly.
Mea culpa.
That was never my intention to insult or offend anyone.
You guys are really taking this way too seriously.
I wrote it as an attempt at humor in the general section and the Q/A section...not in the DEV thread, out of respect.
As I was trying to help new users out, I was running into the same questions over and over again.
If some of these guys would just read a few pages instead of asking the same questions over and over again. If they had bothered to surfed through the threads, they could have seen it.
I wrote it as a tongue in cheek comment...poking fun of myself as I had tried to learn the android and custom rom process. I had soft bricked and boot looped my phone plenty of times. I got a usb jig. I had read up on acid, thunderbolt and adrenaline etc..and opened up roms to try to understand it as well. I was poking fun at myself in the process. Until this August, I owned a flip phone and thought it was the bomb.
If you can't really see the comment as a funny for what it is, I apologize. I mean it. Take it to heart and move on.....
anyway,
Have a Joyous Season with your family and friends...
fwiw, I will enjoy my infuse for the next two years...
running what ever rom that works...
and for the record..I REALLY do appreciate the works of all the "giants" that have contributed to this phone...you guys know who you are...THANKS.
I don't get it.......
Get so tired of checking for updates and finding mindless posts such as , "good job" "I'm so excited". You should really learn to respect the fuggin rules.

As a newcomer to these forums, I actually agree with op. It's very irritating to look for new and cool roms but find old ones bumped by a thousand thank you's. Really, what would be easier is if there was a separate column to sort by last edit date (by author).

That's very simple. Go to the first page of the rom and look to see when the post was last edited.

Rules are already published and we all have to respect them.
However as we all can see, making threads like this only causes nonsense arguments.
Please use the report button when you want a thread cleaned, or when you see a thread derailed from its original intention, that way, dev section will be cleaner, and I can easily spot trolls, I will warn them, infract them or even request a ban for them.
I am closing this thread before anyone gets hurt here

Just because they look alike doesn't mean that they are alike. Also, this thread will be locked. Literally the second link in this forum is for discussing Jelly Bean, and you couldn't even read to there. Stop being lazy.

Because the question was answered in the thread I linked. It also helps keep you from being called noob. In the xda rules it says search before posting. Had you attempted to search to see if there was a existing thread about using vibrant roms this would not have happened. It is that simple.
Ok People... some device forums DONT have a Q &A section, please try to help guide users rather than treating them like crap.
This device forum DOES have a Q&A. simply tell or show him like i am..

but please read stickies before posting anything. there is alot of information that will answer your question without asking anything.
also devices are very different and you cannot expect something from one phone to work on another phone, or if it does by some chance boot, not everything will work. this is why devices have different names, the are DIFFERENT.
Ok folks. Im absolutely gunna buy a new phone. I dont have near the latest and i want a killer device. Im good at odin and thats it, but am willing to work with something with anywhere from moderate to half asz good directions for root. (if i cant root i aint buying) suggestions are appreciated!!

Yes I have got a job, but that's irrelevant.

Really, you clam you're 35, but could you at least speak English ? Or at least spell properly ? I'm failing to see how other members are supposed to help when your posts have the spelling of a modern day rap song plus, I've seen younger members on this forum who are more polite and actually speak proper English than you.
@op
if you got no time to search then how come you will get time to use your newly bought phone.
Only ask and respond logicaly here.
