[Q] How To Root An Acer Iconia A500 - General Questions and Answers

OK first and for most sorry for the waste of time should have slept before asking questions that the answer was infront of my face but at least I got another one of my 10 newbie post done thanks XDA and senior members for the great forum

Welcome to xda. Your correct the answer was right in front of your face. I posted a link below that will help. Xda has its own section for the a500 just like every other device.
Being that your new....please, please, please learn to use the search features on this site. Nothing more aggravating then to see a new thread open when 3 seconds of searching would have be of greater help.
Good luck.

[Q] Question about posting in development section

Hello, I have an Arc with BL unlocked and rooted. Today i go on CM7 using {ARC/ARC S}[DEVELOPMENT] - CM7.1.0 - FXP041 FreeXperia Project post in development section.
All go fine at the first try, awesome ROM and great job from the team FXP. When I try to reply the thread to thanks the Team for the ROM and tell them that I am very grateful, hallucinated and excited with the release the forum says to me that i can´t post in that section because i am a new user :S. Also I can read that maybe I need to post 10 times in other forums before posting development section. I don´t want to troll forums for posting in development section. Someone knows a solution for my problem?
I don´t know where I should post my problem, so I choose Q&A section. If I am wrong please take the liberty of moving it.
P.D.: Sorry for my English.
The solution would be to make use of the "THANKS" button, which was made exactly for the purpose to stop thanks posts.
Read the hints for new users, it recommends you to ask questions here and also answer questions here, none of it would be trolling. 10 posts isn't that much

For a novice post to the general or q&a forums.
Have you tried using the search functionality? It's likely others have experienced the same problem as you and the question has already been answered somewhere

ok. I understood. many many thanks for all who repply this post.. !!!
Welcome
Just so you know, questions ARE NOT meant to go into the development threads. Those are for bug reports only..NOT QUESTIONS. This is part of the reasoning behind needing 10 posts. It is in the hopes that you will learn these things first. There is a Q&A forum for questions.

Mr. I understand what you mean... maybe Iam write the wrong words.. its not a question what I need to do, its a bug on that room what I installed on my samsung skyrocket... and because have that bug on my phone I need to put a repply so maybe the room developer fix that bug.... however.. thanks for your repply . . .
Was wondering the same question too..
Heya
mee too.
Mods need to close this thread, else it will become another one of those "I want 10 posts, so I'll get them from here" threads...
So just posting in the general section is how you get to the 10 post limit. Is what I understand.

Questions are not posted in the development sub sections of specific device's forums. They are posted in the Q&A sections.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1399
See here.....this is a view of all the sub sections for the SkyRocket. Ask questions in Q&A.

You need to make like 10 posts in non development threads before you can post in the development section.

Just go around and give a simple thank you to all the Devs in the general section. You'll be at 10 posts before you know it. I had the same problem as you did. Now all is well

Right?
I have been lurking for years, but only recently did I obtain anything useful to say, but it would not allow me to. So when I went to post on the thread I was like,
RAAAAAAGGGGGEEE!!!!!!
But I suppose it would not hurt the forums out to have a few miscellaneous general discussion posts.
This is your answer:
Please read forum rules before posting
Questions and help issues go in Q&A

I too am frustrated by the 10 post rule - I'd be happy to help out answering questions if I knew what I was doing enough to contribute, but I don't. How am I supposed to learn if I can't ask questions? Just doesn't really make sense to me . . .

You can help and ask questions...in the Q/A section. We all had to do it so it's not like you're the first to be saddled with these limitations.

Guess I assumed this forum wasn't really designed for questions regarding rooting the phone. I pictured it more as a troubleshooting section / more general forum and thought questions regarding rooting a phone were for the developer thread. Perhaps I got my wires crossed

Oh nah Q/A is perfect for all GSIII questions haha I guarantee if you post a new thread about anything that is not your developed rom/mod/kernel in either dev section, you'll be met with a lot of negativity. I'm not even joking. A good tip to know is: when in doubt, post it in the Q/A section. Typically post in a developer thread if you're reporting bugs or helping someone else in that thread similar to what I'm doing right now with you. Only create a new thread in either development section if you developed something and want to share it.

[Completed] Where do we post, in the main XDA Assist forum, or its subforum?

I am confused as to where requests for assistance should be posted. Do I see a forum -- and a subforum?
We have XDA Assist, which is unlocked to new posts, and then we have Post New Thread, also unlocked and accepting new posts.
I read the documentation for the main forum, and thought I'd post my assistance request there. I only saw there was another area after I posted in the first area.
Or does it make no difference? Sorry, but if this information is already available, somewhere, please give me a link. Couldn't find it!
It depends on your problem. The nature of XDA Assist is to help users in looking for the right place for their issue. For Ex. for your phone, we do not have a Sub Forum Defined. So you'd go to
> Android Development and Hacking
forum. Within it, you can either post in Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting if you have a problem you can't solve. Other wise if its a general discussion on the phone, you can post in Android General
Does that make sense ?
Question that started this thread is answered, may be closed.

Well ... still confused.
Maybe the threads XDA Assist and Post New Thread, are in fact one and the same?
They seemed to be separate, but perhaps I should take note of the first few posts in each, and see if they're the same?
Anyway, I posted in the XDA Assist thread, and it seems to be working -- I see my other post has one reply.
No one else seems confused, so I guess it's just me. :silly:
Different question from different thread answered, both threads may be closed.
So, I'll go to --
> Android Development and Hacking
and then, since it's not a problem needing troubleshooting but just something general on how Android works (I doubt it's phone specific) I think I'll put it into 'Android General'.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! And the instructions for this forum say the moderator will close the thread when the advice has been given, so please feel free to do so, now.

Hi
I am sorry to come here and spam this forum.
It takes 10 post to get into a developers section to ask an question and I do not have very much questions to ask other than matters of SailfishOS.
I hope not to get too much spanking here until my 10 posts are done and get rights to ask something that matters :crying:

Hi there,
Please read the thread bellow related to your question:
Postcount limit in developmental fora
If you have some problems to report about some ROM, please use the thread opened in the Questions&Answers forum for your device (you don't tell us what device you own)
Good luck
My attempt was to get a question thrown to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-sailfish-os-alpha-t2859817
Asking about Sailfish OS ROM for Nexus7 3G model (tilapia).
But then, I cannot or I should not post there since it is a developer section.
I'll guess this is the more appropriate place to ask a question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general
By the way. Thanks for the guidance. After reading a bunch of guides, this huge site became more understandable. I have been reading this site for years but now is the first time when it seems that there is not a ready answer for a question.
