The SG4G Wiki - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

As FBis said, it's a good idea to place some guides and more info on the wiki so we can link people there to help answer repetitive questions. It's also just generally a good idea to use something we can all edit and add to in real time.
With more contributions, we can have the wiki actually become a great source for beginners to read.
A link to the wiki.

Thanks, didn't see that thread as i don't check the General subforum that often. Did not mean to create a second thread if one recently existed.
Ironically, it got buried under repetitive threads and questions, lol.

[Q] how in the world?

Am I supposed to get to ten posts when I don't have any questions, and I'm not allowed to post in the Dev forums.
I created this account for the sole purpose of giving feedback and helping people in android dev forums, and I can't do that until I have ten posts. *meh*
Got the same problem dude

How about answering some questions in here. Dev sections aren't meant for questions.
If I see some good ones I will. But I prefer to give answers I know about. I have one phone, and some experience with the HP touchpad. And I've installed only one rom on each. Those are what I feel I could help with best. Ah well, maybe in their general forums I'll see something useful for me to do.
Same problem right here :

CyanogenMod9 for O2X and G2X (SelfKANG3)

I haven't seen this here. I'm wondering if anyone here knows about it. Either way, I hope it useful to someone. I have been using it for about a week. Its pretty stable. Go on over to http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18090-cyanogenmod9-for-o2x-and-g2x-selfkang3/ and check it out.
We all know about it. There are already 3 threads or something in General. There are also modded versions already in the dev section.
No need for a fourth thread.

Um, Kind of why I never write things here. People are dicks on this board. Um, I was just trying to be helpful. But um, thanks for the unnecessary comment. Um, I'm sure there is a mod around who's job it is to decide if a post should be deleted or not. Um, I am also sure they are very capable of doing said job as well. So Um, your suggestion to delete this thread, needs to be, um, deleted. Also, Um, thanks for pointing out that there is a reason why its not posted here and for using your super douchebag abilities to point out that there is a reason, but not actually informing me of the, um, reason. Um, I guess Ill just have to wait until someone with a greater ability to be a douche to explain in a more douchey way. Um.
Didn't know self Kang 3 was out.

Development section is for active developers of a ROM. Since we don't have RC participating here (he's on RootWiki) it doesn't belong on developer section.
The two developers that DO participate on XDA and have developed ICS based ROMs (HellFire and EagleBlood) have their own threads.
Thank you for participating.
Haha ok? Maybe you should read your post and compre it to mine to see who the bigger DB is. Im not the one posting in the dev section about unrelated topics. Yes it is a rom ....but not one that you compiled. I def didnt call you any names or over react to anything you posted. The thread that arcee created on rootz has been open a week. Dont you think if he wanted it here it would be? Its not people like me that gives xda a bad name.....its members like you sir that get pissed about comments and then start flaming

Can you help me understand why general, and not here?
Don't get discouraged bro. It's a reason why you can't post it here. 1. In dev section you change log, screen shot, disclaimers and on top of that you must be dev or have the dev permission. (to open a thread). In the general section is where you should have made this thread and it would be called a information thread. And it's 1 or 2 already made for arcee ics.
Don't be disappointed it's the rules

Ha, "pissed", "flaming". Don't be so full of yourself. I simply out Douched you. I only use my Douche abilities to teach lesser douches how and when to douche. Also, the fact that you can't tell how much of a douche you are really concerns me. Yes, its people like you that ruin the experience of others. See info[]box1 @ 10:17. So if you are keeping count, on this particular thread, I have helped out more people than you. So it would seem as if it IS people like you who ruin the experience.

He didn't say ****. You're just mad that everyone pointed you out on a mistake you made. Calm down... Seriously you made a mistake, people pointed you out on it, own up to your mistake, end of story. Instead you're here flaming people for correcting you. Everyone here knows about RootzWiki. This is XDA, not RootzWiki and you're posting another person's work. This is the DEV section. Are you the developer? Do you see anyone else posting stuff they didn't develop? Look at the other threads in this section and compare them to yours. Now go to the general section and compare them to yours. They're alike. It's people like you that bring the bad out of people and make everyone here look like assholes. You're just being an idiot. Grow up.

Skyrocket Section Etiquette

ok so this is to help keep the peace i am posting this on top of the forum rules they may overlap or intersect. My goal here is to help keep down on the issues of repeat threads, wrong sections, trolling, and any other hijinx that comes here.
1. SEARCH
yes sometimes its hard especially on your phone with taptalk because we all know how that works. Solution: Try using google search using keywords such as xda, skyrocket, and whatever your issues is this always works for me.
If your on a computer use xda's built in search tool or google as i stated above.
I personally promise 90% of all issues can be found on the web with answers if you just take a few minutes to search
2. IF ITS A QUESTION IT BELONGS IN Q&A
It does not matter what the question pertains to it is a question and belongs in Q&A i have reported tons of these here recently having them moved. i know you think that its a general question but no it belongs in Q&A ok.
3. READ
This one is kinda broad for a reason here we go
If you ask a question within a thread at least have the decency to read the last few pages to see if anything comes up that may answer your question im not talking the whole thread but maybe 3 or so pages. The reason for this is that i have seen alot of threads where people have a question answered then not 2 or 3 posts later the same question comes up. This leads to cluttering of the thread making it much harder for others to find information.
This also goes along with wanting to make a thread look at like 3 pages of threads to make sure you dont have a reapeat post this thing happens alot again it comes from lack of attention.
4. TROLLING/FLAMING
This ones a big one and im a massive perp for this and will be the first to admit it.
We need to stop the trolling its just getting worse and not fixing anything yes its hard to ignore especially for us old timers but we need to set the standard now this forum is too big for us to be going on like we have been.
Solution: squash the issues by reporting if you wanna report multiple times fine get your buddies to report fine but lets stop the hate i personally am working on this as well.
i know you guys are gonna ignore this and whatever but my hope is the message gets across to you guys and makes this section a more peaceful place for all
wanted to thank you for posting this even though most of it should be common sense but i only got 8 thanks per day

You might mention in the OP that the best way to Google search the forums in to prefix the search with:
site:forum.xda-developers.com
So to search for 'skyrocket ics update' within the xda forums only would be:
site:forum.xda-developers.com skyrocket ics update
Also you could add links to the existing threads stickied in Dev. We all know their stickied for a reason, but many people overlook them and head straight for the new thread button
If you are going to help somebody, have the courtesy to check back on the thread so you know they are in the right direction.

I apologise, but I felt that pointing the OP to the video was valid. He has clearly not watched it or read the rules of XDA;-
Hasn't searched the forums
Posted a thread with no helpful subject matter
Hasn't posted in his device forums
Threads about "Which ROM is best" always get closed due to the subjective nature of the answers

No best ROM threads are allowed sonny....
If you think that's simple then tell me, what would make one ROM better for gaming than another? There probably isn't an answer for that tbh, since most game tweaks are mods that you can apply yourself without switching ROMs

Why members in xda ignore hard questions

I find no help to the ones who are really want it and everyone answers to simple questions like which should be my next phone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
That's because the questions of recommending phones or kernels or even ROMs are not allowed in xda. Sorry Mate!

What Arnau said plus many times people don't want to look stupid on forums with as much brainpower and expertise as on the XDA forum. Some of the most brilliant people hang out here and obviously if you don't know what you're talking about, to try and bluff your way through may work on some forums, but not here.
As you visit more often, look for some of the gurus, follow their threads, Thank Them and if they help you, contribute. That might really help you get the answers you need. Good luck.
XDA is not a support site, it is a site for and about developers and development, soooo, I suggest, if you are in fact looking for support, use search here, or go elsewhere.
Meanwhile, development still occurs here at XDA.
