***Do Not Post Your Question Here, It Will Be Locked/Deleted*** Please Read!!!

There seems to be a very large amount of [Q] threads posted here in the general section.
There is a specific Q&A section here! PLEASE USE IT!!
The general section is NOT for asking questions!
This not only helps to keep the forums tidy and easier to navigate, it ensures that users with a problem can get the help they require quickly and easily.
A cluttered forum isn't much use to anyone.
Thanks.
As of now [25/7/11] misplaced threads are subject to being locked/deleted without notice. DO NOT PM me to complain because you probably will not receive a response.
If you are unable to figure out that [Q]'s belong in the Q&A section then there is very little chance you will manage to hack your device without running into trouble....

My messaging also crashes. I need help I dont know much about this all this, i wanna keep all my contacts, texts, apps, pictures, videos, everything if possible. All help is appreciated!

You need to read the stickies. You'll need to learn how to use Odin and flash a recovery. Don't keep posting New threads.

Make sure to read everything thoroughly! You have to be sure on what you are doing otherwise you will end up with a paperweight. The stickies are a great place to gather the knowledge and there are a multitude of detailed guides out there to help you along the way. If you have questions after already doing your "homework" then everyone will be more than happy to help you out.
To answer some of your questions, your contacts should be linked to your Google account and thus will come back as soon as you sign in. The apps can be backed up on titanium backup. Pics/vids/etc can be moved to external SD card. You can use my backup root from play store (free) to store text messages.

How to change your xda username

I've seen many people struggling with the process which can change their XDA USERNAME. If somebody ask this question, he/she gets trolled by some members which is really a depressing situation cause it doesn't provide any solution. So I'm making this thread so that those people who want to change their username,can change their username easily
Changing username is really very easy when there is a great administration of XDA. Just follow the steps, which I'm going to mention :-
1. Click on this link and it'll redirect you to the contacts & help page http://www.xda-developers.com/contact/
2. Now click on "I want to change my username, cancel my account, or am having other account-related troubles." option under "XDA Member or Visitor"

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. After clicking that you'll see a form like the image below. Put your current username, email id, subject and the message.
4. DO remember to MENTION WHY YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR USERNAME AND WHICH USERNAME YOU'LL LIKE TO HAVE. If your desired username is available, XDA will change the username of your wish.
I've followed these steps to change my username and my username was changed in 5 mins. Yes, in just 5 mins
Please Press "THANKS" button if I have helped you
