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.

There's a development thread, that has everything you need

And guides set up all over the place, read the entire thread too.... all of it, because odds are any problems you run into have already been inquired about and you can more than likely find the answers you need.
If you don't like that then send it to me with idk let's say 40 bucks and I'll do it good luck read read read its all there.

I tired to give a proper answer but we always have people that need to add. IMO if you need to ask how to then you need to read read read. Then read some more. Im not going to link to those threads or even tell where to find it. If you want the latest greatest for your phone you need to spend some time figuring out how to get it.

Instructions are in the 3rd post, though I recommend reading the prior two as well.
As a few people have mentioned before, search before you open a new thread about something that has a lot of documentation already.
FBis251 has set up some great wiki pages that have a FAQ section, start with that and they have links that will eventually get you to your answer.

I'm not a dev either but think you might be able to unzip the APK on your computer, replace the icon.png, rezip. then replace apk to phone.

Oh yea, the search is horrible. Doesn't even give you the option to search within the thread or for a thread in the section.
That's why there are double post. People search and can't find it, so they post it again and then we have members getting angry about not searching and double posting.
The search, searches the entire site. I don't have time to scroll through 100 threads to find the 1 for our phone.

Yeah you should be able to search within a device's forum and also within a thread itself that way rom q&a's not stated in op's don't have to be reasked all the time.

Yeah, I have been wanting to ask a question about XDA's notifications, and search on the app was not helpful. I was concerned about making a new thread, then somebody getting down on me for making a duplicate thread.
I could already see the comments, "you should search before you post" "I will not help, because you are lazy" So it goes not getting the help, we request.
Not to mention names but it's the same few members who troll the forms and flame or report everything.
I honestly think that until the search engine for this app is fix that members who flaming for duplicate threads should be ban for a 12 hours. If you think about it, that flame is going to make the thread unless because it will just be a battle between the op and the flameer. Instead of helping out the op as a community or posting the link to the original thread.

some of us actually like using our xda app (search included). paid for it so most people expect it to work. personally, after realizing that the app's search is not working, i almost always try to log in and use xda and google search before asking here.
there is no need to be defensive or sarcastic here. if you feel the need to report then do as you wish but don't expect everyone to like what you are doing. some people are honestly just clueless regarding the search engine.

You're just a big child. You see a post you don't like and cry to your dad (insert name of favorite mod here) and get it shut down. Some new member started a thread and you reported AND flamed him/her. Instead of trying to be a tyrant you should be pointing new members in the right direction. And if someone's phone is not working, you should actually try to help before crying to the mods. You hold the exact same amount of power as any other member. Having more posts or thanks doesn't change the fact that nobody should have to take crap from someone on the same level as them.

And people come here for broken phone fixes because some members actually do help or point in the right direction. If someone's phone isn't working right for whatever reason, don't turn them away just because there's already some large thread on something remotely similar to their problem. Those types of threads don't get users as much help (especially if it's an urgent issue) as a single thread.
It's like if someone was lost on the way driving to Tampa and they asked you for help, and you told them they were noobs for not knowing every detail about the trip before they went on it. And you reported them to have their car towed because they didn't get help from a group talking about how to get to places that are kind of near Tampa.

Kinda agree with Eollie. Trying to police a duel multi device thread is going to result in endless 'this is the wrong thread to post in' posts in the main development thread....which will make it just as cluttered and unbearable to read. These Q&A threads work for our community within a community but I don't think it is a good idea to start splitting info for a multi device mod like this. Your going to get duplicate posts etc....imagine going to V6 Supercharger thread, reading the entire thing, then finding out half the current info isn't even in that thread....not user friendly. I know you guys are going to do whatever but a second thread in this case seems counterproductive and overkill

True, but it's even worse when the development thread gets utterly clogged with thank yous' and how do I do this. In the middle of trying to get help the devs plus get important information across about bugs, and errors that need attention. Can you imagine having to sort through all the extra weight just to get 1 log cat? I understand that this is a multi device mod. I know it may seem overwhelming for DS. However that's when we could come into play. Such as what was said above xtreme88 didn't know which A.I. was for GB and for ICS. So I, just regular Joe on the block, knew the correct answer and told him. See it's that easy if you know an answer then share an answer. This thread doesn't to rely solely on DS. There really no such thing as overkill it's ether dead or not dead, but their is such a thing efficiency. By splitting this up and delegating some the work to other people we can make the process a lot more efficient then flooding one thread.
This is where I go on my rant about using the wiki again. You can keep the information updated. You can link to it from the OP. Someone asks a question, link them to the answer in the wiki. They WILL ask again sometime so might as well have a good response in the wiki. Think the response is not good enough? You can edit it to make it good enough.
