[Q] how in the world? - General Questions and Answers

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 :

Forum newbie rules!

I have in the last few months purchased a htc desire to replace my motorola dext (cliq).
With my previous phone I have plenty of modding experience (if anyone knows anything about the cliq they'll understand)
But due to the rules here I am unable to offer my advice and knowledge wih rom issues, of which there have been a few with desire roms.
If any mods read this, can you please remove the restrictions in place on my account, so I can participate actively in the htc desire development section, and be able to help out fellow modders.
Regards
Ryan

Running in to the same issue with Xoom.
I've been working on this for over a year but I can't post cuzz of the newb rulls.
As far as I'm concerned we're all here to learn from others and let others learn from ourselves.
This is the only android forum I've come across with this ridiculous rule in place, restricting the sharing of knowledge because I'm deemed too " inexperienced".
Just because I'm new too XDA obviously means I'm new too android as well. Its a joke.

Guys, it is so easy just post 10 postings (you can do that in an hour) and all restrictions are removed. It is easy as saying in a posting "i agree" or " wow, interesting" do 10 pointless postings and you are good to go
Thanks for the advice, but its not really the point.

Don't make pointless and meaningless posts outside of Off-Topic.
Also, try to contribute
I am in the same boat wanted to post but I guess Ill need 9 more
interesting
interesting ;-)
the only posting limit before 10 posts is development areas. (about 1/6 of the forums)
if you are a developer, use you vast knowledge to help 10 people
if you have a question about something in development ask your question in Q&A
but search first. it is better to reply to a pre-existing thread than to start a new one!
(this thread case in point)
there is no reason to complain or spam post " i agree "
Interesting! (sorry, needed 1 more)

That rather highlights the foolishness of having a 10-post restriction. Just about anyone will look at this and go, okay, let's just post 10 worthless messages and get around the restriction. In the end it does nothing to promote a better quality of user while at the same time clogging up the general forums with messages that are a complete waste of time and disk space. Like this one.
10 post restriction
I agree totally!
9 more to go!
And now theres people wanting to change off-topic to also having the 10 post restriction? I dont get it

You have got to be kidding me...NO MIUI??

So after years of being an xda user and lover, I must say...the banning of all MIUI roms on this forum is completely ridiculous to me. Not to mention, done in bad taste. I am very curious as to why this happened. Can anyone please enlighten me as to why one of the best, most desired roms is not supported here? I can find nothing in rules about this at all. Thank you and I look forward to your answers.

They aren't banning miui. The user at modaco who did the sensation rom is banned from xda. So his work is not allowed on xda.
It doesn't mean miui is banned...

we're not supposed to discuss bans/infraction publicly in the community. And to answer your question, i have no idea, and it should just be left between the dev and the mods (and those who know).
There is an MIUI ROM, it's on MoDaCo, we're not allowed to post his work here due to him being banned. Go look at MoDaCo for it. MIUI is not banned on xda.
Short and simple answer
remember... Google all your questions! Like why someone would be bannned...
This the dumbest topic I've seen in a while. And post questions in the q n a.

After clearly stating my question, yes, accidentally in the wrong forum, I must say that you are not helping in xda if all you do is call people idiots, when the response doesn't fit the question. After doing searches as to why this rom would be banned in here, I politely asked a question. And usually by asking a question...you are looking for an answer...not some smart ass cocky response like you know it all. Next time you hear a question that you know the answer to, why not kindly answer...or shut your mouth and move on. You're a big guy by thinking you pwn'd someone online by throwing digital insults at them. Grow up, guys. Xda is supposed to be a place of help...and people like you make it a terrible forum for asking questions. So get off your high horses and offer help, not B.S.
Btw, thank you to all of the guys that actually answered my question.
Way to jump the gun...and as said, MIUI is not banned from xda.

Zeus Rom custom ringtones not working

For some reason my contacts ringtones have quit working and my phone ringtones plays for everyone. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this and what the solution may be?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Well, nevermind. I installed Ringo from the Market and it worked that way. I had tried setting the contact ringtones thru both the system contacts as well as GoContacts and neither worked. But this did. Weird.
Anyone understand this?
it is working quite well

I don't understand why you all feel the need to respond to a post that is a few days old...and one where he/she even figured it out on his own.
Your sarcastic remarks do nothing to help the situation. Either politely help the guy out, whether it be pointing him in the right direction or even answer his question in the process...or don't post at all.
Zeus is not my rom, but its under The Collective umbrella now, and we just don't run our show that way.

last i looked this was the XDA board and forum not
the collectives
did i go to the wrong website ? maybe there was a redirect and i didn't see it
Nun is right... but the only thing that irritates me is if you will look in general and [email protected], there are 7 Zeus threads created by people who don't feel like posting in the actual Zeus [email protected] thread. That's why I don't answer in these threads anymore, I have pointed and pointed people in the right direction to Zeus thread til I'm blue in the face. I think everyone should at least ask where it is, rather than start a multitude of threads... I can't be all over the place at one time, the reason I have a [email protected] thread, lol.... just stating the facts. But nun is right, the noob bashing needs to stop(me included) we are more adult than that..

No...not my boards. Just try to get the users of our roms on the same page as us. That is all. And if users of our roms...noob or otherwise...get treated poorly, just want them to know that its not our philosophy. We try not to put down users who need help, even when it comes to forum etiquette.
Not your style...fine. Just keep it out of our threads. Please and thanks.

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.

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!
Better luck next time!

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.
