We need a rom sub forum

We need a Rom sub forum under samsung captivate so all the roms are in one places and not all mixed up under development.

Wouldn't they still need to be in the development forum..since most are a works in progress ? I could see having a sticky with links and screen shots of them but they would have to be locked down otherwise they would get cluttered up with all of the questions being asked about them..

yes locked down or something cause they are freaking cluttered now.

I'll bump it now. Guy tried to put together a sticky like this, but never got stickied.
Well can't find it now.

I had a professor once that told me "clutter is a sign of brilliance". So finding anything in the dev forum would make you a Mensa candidate.

But where would the feedback go though... and all those "how do i turn on my phone so i can install this rom" questions?

im trying to gather resources to make a website devoted to presenting ROM's in a easy to use way. check it out. thanks

so ive been pondering on this all day and this is my conclusion:
how about the development section actually being a developement section, and all "what modem should i use?" or "will this work the the i900 kernal?" or the "when is the updated version coming out?" could go in the q&a section where they belong, what we need are more mods that are a little more active in moving threads and deleting unnecessary posts out of the development section, can you imaging how much more smooth our devs could work if they didnt have to sort through 20 posts to find one that might help them with the actually development.
oh and one more thing, that captivate bible thing, that was an excellent idea, would have done a lot of great things and helped many people, but no one goes through and updates it, what a waste :/

I found this a while back. I found out quite a-bit about our phones from it...Seems to me since this is already up and running..maybe the owner wouldn't mind adding a section for custom Roms and maybe the themes as well ? Wouldn't hurt to ask them anyway..I did just a few minutes ago

The easiest way is to look for the threads Labled {Rom}? This has been brought up over and over again. It tried a few times but never went anywhere as most at to busy to keep the roms on more then one website. As for the questions being asked they belong in the thread for the rom they use and not in Q&A.

I think he was talking about all the other questions in the development section. What Im talking about is something like just roms in a section, if u want to ask questions or talk about rom fine but be only under that rom thread, U would have a Section Clean of all kinds of post and other development stuff, Have a certain format for titles in the rom section, where it would be uniform. I know there still under development but it would be clean, and easy to find.

I like this idea. It should be formatted sort of like DG's thread. All questions goes on that thread for development and on the first page the links would point to the ROM section where people can download the roms they need look at screen shots.

3G super slow (0.05Mbps) after loading ROM

I wanted to try and take advantage of the HUSPA in my area and flashed the Cognition ROM on my phone. It went perfect on the first time and the ROM worked perfect except my 3G has slowed down to below 56k modem speeds. Since then I tried going back to stock 2.1, stock 2.2, and tried other modems and nothing has fixed my issue. My phone is out of warranty so I am stuck.
Does anyone have any ideas? I am no Android expert, so please keep that in mind in replies.
Thanks,

There's a Cognition sticky in the Q&A subforum where questions like this should go instead of starting new threads in the wrong forum. Please use the sticky.

Oops? I don't see a move button.
I am also not sure the issue this is related to the ROM specifically. That's why I posted here.
*Moderator please move if applicable. *

If you don't think it's a cog problem then still post in q&a. That stands for question and answer.

It is specifically a cog question. It is because cog uses official kb1 firmware as a base which means att says no HSUPA for you. You can still use cog you just need to change the kernel and modem to an i9000 and then speed galore. While your at it switch to a i9000 rom because at that point it just makes sense.

If you guys put as much energy into *actually answering* questions as you do into telling people they were posting in the wrong area, I bet this forum would be twice as productive.
And. . . thanks for the warm welcome!

If newbies would put half as much effort into reading the forum rules and actually searching and looking around the forum before starting new threads we'd have more time to spend helping people instead of constantly educating them on standard forum etiquette.
Now, if any of us were being paid to be here to help others we would probably be a bit more tolerant, but since we are all just volunteers I think we have a right to try and keep the forum as tidy as possible.

Mine was doing the same thing out of the blue. It was fine but started being REALLY slow after flashing Cognition. A fresh flash after master clear fixed it for me.

I don't get paid to be polite to a stranger either, but I try to do it out of common courtesy. This isn't an exclusive club, and its not my first posting in a forum. I've searched and read stickies.
Why don't you let the moderators moderate.
Go stir another pot, thread closed.

Mr. Thin Skin, nobody was rude to you. I've even tried to be humorous in my responses, but it appears the abrasive one is you. I have the full support of the mods in what I do here, so take your complaints to them. And you don't get to close a thread, only a mod can you arrogant *****.

If you had "full support" then why aren't you a mod? For real, I'm pretty sick of the senior people here giving answers like this. If you don't want to help, don't help, they'll flounder on their own. I know it sucks to be asked the same question over and over, but it happens. We need to either ignore it, and let the thread die, or help, imo. Who gives a crap if there are questions in General? Again, IMO, there shouldn't be 2 separate forums, because no one gets it, there should be General, Accessories, Development, and Themes and Apps.

I thought I answered your question very directly. Only iphone 4 users get access to HSUPA with att branded phones. Official att captivate phones don't. Switch your kernel and modem and you'll be fine.

It's common courtesy to post in the correct area and research before starting a thread.

ICS for Galaxy S 4G?

Hi guys is there any chance this would happen? I know that the Galaxy S 4G has everything to support this. So anyone willing to develop a port. The S2 has already a working one so why not galaxy s 4g?
Thanks

I sometimes think that this is done on purpose. :/
-Sent From My Amazing SGS4G-

If this isn't a dev posting a working and bootable ICS for SGS4G then does this topic belong here? This been posted about a billion times in the right section of the SGS4G forum mind you. Use search function, post in old decrepit post about ICS, but please don't hog up the development section with this garbage. Important stuff belongs here like the roms that the devs here work so hard on only to be under appreciated by a bunch of sniveling children who didn't get their beloved CM7. Yes ICS got unwittingly dropped by the ever so greedy and scrooge like Samsung, who against Google's Open Handset Alliance, which promises a device would be supported for 18 months, has decided they are going to drop all galaxy devices period rather than provide official ICS. If you'd really like ICS then you'd best start donating. Money is tight for me right now but I know when my cash flow picks up my green backs are going to start moving in this direction.

You know what I've come to understand? A new user won't know how the regular users will want the forum to run. I made the same mistake myself and had a few threads moved out of the dev section. It's a dev question, so it could properly fit in the dev board.
You're just bumping the thread needlessly. Next time do what I did and just post a link to where the topic was discussed instead of ranting about how it's in the wrong section. Just report the thread and have one of the mods move it. It's much easier than having to take time out of your day to type up a long post talking about how pissed off you are about it.
Merry xmas everyone!

New phone threads, what's wrong mods?

It seems to me that any thread pertaining to another phone has been removed by the mods lately. What's up with this? I understand that the thread may not be about the infuse, so I understand your logic for moving them. However, what about those of us that may want to discuss new phone options with fellow Infuse owners that we have been in a community with for some time now?
To me, it seems as if you're controlling what a new group of friends can talk about, and basically being an overly harsh dictator. I respect the opinion of my fellow Infusers, so why can't I talk about new phones with them in a place where I know it will be mostly Infuse owners? It's the GENERAL section for a reason. You're supposed to post any random discussion you want there, so long as it is not offensive and is appropriate for all.
Specifically, I'm referring to the threads about the galaxy note. I was enjoying reading the opinions of all of you, as I will probably be upgrading to it this summer.
And don't say that I can go read in the AT&T note section, because that is not what I am talking about. In the AT&T note section, you get the opinions of all sorts of people coming from different devices, whereas a thread here will only gather the opinions of Infuse owners. I want to be able to talk about new phones without the thread being deleted or moved after a few days.
/endrant
Sorry for the lengthy response, I just think the mods should be a bit more lenient.

There should be one thread for all of it. People can post about it without clogging up the forum.

Sorry, forgot about that thread as its a sticky and I do most of my reading on my phone, where stickies are under a different tab. My bad. Although I still think it wouldn't be that terrible to have a thread here and there regarding specific new phones. Whoops.

np..i don't have any issue usually, but as new threads get created with only a few posts, the older but good thread with lots of material gets pushed back.
We end up with such a large clutter that is harder to follow.
bronco is actually pretty tolerant...I've on seen one thread got locked in the past several months.

Try Dolphin HD with desktop toggle add-on for full web page browsing from phone.

If you want to discuss about a new phone, if that alreday has a dedicated forum, then you can talk about it there.
If not you can post in General-General.
Certainly you cant post in the Infuse forum.

P.S. You can also use the Infuse Comparison thread which is stickied on this forum

whats next?

I'm running baseband version from 07-15-2011
and rom Bionix Reloaded v1.4.1
Not saying I dont like it but I dont see any new roms that I can try
I really dont know know how to what cm roms are besides the name. and no idea what port roms are.
no gingerbread roms have been updated or made since last year from what I can tell by the Ref guild listed on the front of Development and im not sure how to or if it is a good idea to upgrade to ICS
any advice?

Seems like you're new to modding, I highly suggest you stay with the ROM you're running if nothing is wrong (don't fix what's not broken).
If you decide to flash other stuff,PLEASE for the sake of everyone,READ READ and READ some more. Abuse Google to find out what cm7 stands for and other terms you don't know.

Don't assume
Yeah I've got a lot of problems with the phone (most are described on"Google" as problems with this model). And like my past phones changing the Rom changes/fixes the problem because good developers know how to fix problems. Yet by the list, nothing looks new and exciting. Sorry I've only dealt with roms and rooting along with minor other things.
I believe the benefit of a forum is to be correctly informed. Info on Google may not always be up to date and or correctly relate to you. That's why I ask questions (only an idiot acts without thinking) in a forum about my phone so people with the same phone can input not disregard. Searching on this site doesn't answer basic questions. Out of all my other phones I work on this site does how ever have topics that keep me informed vs having to go over pages looking for Rom updates.
If there was another forum that specialized in my phone and was as knowledgeable I would go there. But as far as I have found, most sites just use links/content from this one.

Also, don't use the reference guide, manually go into the development forum and look around.
The reference guide tends to be outdated.
Some developers also use rootzwiki as their forum, mainly faux, so be sure to check there too.
