I think it's time for mods/admin to look out old rom like i said in above title, archive it, so that everything sorted again.
Forumers can start list out any known roms that have been discontinued/dead/unsupported.
PM any dev, ask for their developing status is a good start.

What are you talking about?
Each ROM thread in Development has a last released/updated date in the title and the threads are ordered by activity so its very easy to see which are current.
The INDEX thread orders all ROMs by date so its clear?
If you think this forum is messy don't consider getting a device like HOX or GSS3
So true...
yeah, I was so unclear. I dont realize that from this page to this page are all updated and undead.
So sorry.

I think the general point is that if a ROM is 'dead' then it won't get any more posts and will naturally drop backwards. Why go to the effort of archiving them, which then leads to more effort required if somebody does want to use those ROMs?
You just went from page 2 back. That includes many, very current, articles;-
TouchRecovery
TWP
Reaper
GPS Tweaks
Eng HBOOT
Do I really need to go on?
one page back, nothing much outdated. but others? nevermind. Im just trying to sort out outdated, unsupported, maybe non stable/testing rom/etc.
for example, in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639065 . you replied to that thread also.
new comers didn't see this as something I call, in align or sorted out. That's why that guy open up that thread.
and well, forget about this, maybe the seniors influence are higher and what others think for someone like me, meh, im just trying to be like some kind of wanna be mods or wanna be the good guy greg. bleh.
I do appreciate what your saying, but the system that is in place exists across all forums on xda and it exists because it works.
Old threads that are possibly dead still contain valid posts, fixes and even active links which will be picked up if people were ever to use the search function so should always be left.
Sywepd form my DsereiS
I'm not sure that sorting out these ROMs is your job. Or mine. Or, really, anybody else's.
What would be useful would be if genuinely dead ROMs had their title modified to reflect the fact and maybe the links from the OP removed, but that is the sort of thing that should, realistically, be down the the thread creator, not to another person - who is to judge when a ROM is dead?
I work in the EPoS (Electronic Point of Sale) business, and we have an application for wireless order-taking on Android. Unfortunately at the moment (and for the foreseeable future) it is only officially supported on v2.x (no support for v3 or v4). That's just a single example, but here are also many people out there who don't want to run a buggy version of ICS with the wrong kernel - for them the older GB stuff is essential (and they won't all choose to run Reaper or Endy either).
If that sort if stuff was to be archived, we would probably just get even more of the pointless threads than we already do.
well then, forget about this thread.
my bad.

hey guys, just started working at att and i requested the tilt as my company phone. well i got it yesterday, but i am completely pda/smartphone illiterate..
and i have been skimming over this forum but it minus well have been written in chinese...
so i read that quick gps is already loaded on the phone? i went through file explorer and couldn't find it anywhere... did i over look it?
also, the phone seems really laggy... from the screen switching from potrait to landscape... and there seems to be alot of lag in pressing the numbers on the touchscreen.
i've seen all the rom flashes and such... but is there a dummy guide to flashing the rom? do i download it onto my comp then move it over using active sync? does it matter what folder i put it under?
sorry for the stupid questions, but i tried my best to read through the threads but i couldn't seem to absorb anything...
-tj
mail me your phone, ill put quickgps on it and whatever custom rom you want..
couple of things
first off, try advanced search for the kaiser thread
second, coming from att might get you banned here... seems anyone that mentions xda on att forums gets banned
(i for one have been happy with the customer service)
there are plenty of guides to flashing, but basically you need to be careful. hook up to active sync and install hardspl, it won't look like anything happened so verify that you did it. then you're ready to flash your rom of choice. I use XDA Live, just keep in mind that flashing is risky and so you need to read read read... I'd stick with the stock rom for awhile anyway
quickgps is under programs BTW
this thread might be deleted just on the principal that there are a hundred like it
thanks for the info....
didn't know there was so much animosity between att workers and xda people...
i just work there to pay the bills and put food in the mouth... hopefully some of you know where im coming from...
also, to get my today screen to look like this....
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
not really interested in the bee in the background but more the layout of the today screen... im guessing that would require a rom flash? it just looks so much cleaner then the standard today screen...
-tj
To make your screen look like that, background excluded, all you need to do is to fing HTC Home cab file and install it. You do not need to change the ROM. Search... grasshopper...er bumble bee

Check your PMs... probably best to conduct the newbie stuff outside of the general population.
While playing with android today, I discovered something in the docs which people have been looking for. (I remember there was a thread on this few days ago but couldn't find it now. :S) The docs tells you how to make the IME not cover the fullscreen.
Picture speaks a thousand words:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The decision is controlled by the App, the TextView itself by specifying android:imeOptions.
See here: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/on-screen-inputs.html (Ctrl+F: flagNoExtractUi)
I hope this helps the devs.
omg some please make this happen
me likey...i hate the keyboard being fullscreen sometimes..

You realize this is up to the developer of every single application that you use. I know some of our local wiz devs can whip this into the stock open sourced apps, such as the browser (please!) and messaging. However, for 3rd party apps it is going to rely on the developers seeing this thread, taking interest in this idea, and implementing it.
So... you have an app you use, point your developers to this thread and ask for some love.
daveid is right.
The picture above is a quick hack on my Mms.apk. However, I do think it's possible to make it a default behavior. Need someone to force this to always on in the framework. That's dirty hack though, at least to me.
I remember there was a thread on this few days ago but couldn't find it now. :S

You were probably referring to my post. I knew I should have posted it in the dev section. My thread is of people saying they want it but with no progress. good job tho. hopefully we will start to see a fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666990
well you said that the app is what follows this restriction; to make it always use fullscreen. what if we just remove the feature from the IME.apk all together? is the noextract cmd written within the IME? if so we can make the app have to use the non full screen mode. perhaps set the parameters to zero on IME so fullscreen can never be called upon. just a thought. don't know that much about this stuff. could u share exactly what you did to make this work? just insert the noextract value in the apk and resign?

Yes, jonasl, looking forward to that. since i've been using ur MOD since some version ago, you deserve some bucks for your work.
So this is pretty random and I've done some searches and can't seem to find anything, probably because no one would care enough to do something like this besides me.
The problem: I'm a MS consultant and am tired of hearing **** from my WP7 friends and colleagues.
The ask: Is there a way to mask/disguise/FAKE the OS I have when working with social networking sites? Primarily Facebook for now, you know the "sent via Windows Phone" or "posted by HTC Sense", "Android", etc.
Anyone know how to change/hack/tweek that without changing phones/OS's entirely?
You could just post from their mobile sites and it will say posted from _____ mobile. You can also post from the main site from your phone and it's like posting from your computer.
I know this isn't really what you asked at all, but it will help with your issue.

Caring about being made fun of by windows fanboys for using a linux based phone to me is like caring about being made fun of because you dont huff fumes from an aerosol can. Always annoys me that some group or person can be so blinded to see that there is more than one alternative that works for people and it doesnt always come from the same source
Some applications let you remove that signature or set what it says. However, the easiest solution would be not to use the application and use the browser in the site. If they dont let you set it, then you have to modify the apk or modify the build.conf file in /system (which may or may not mess things up for other applications that depend on that). It's most likely picking up the make/model from that.
If it bothers you that much, you probably need new friends and ignore the coworkers you have to see regardless. Your current ones suck and have drank the koolaid.
Your problem also reminded me of the following penny arcade comic (ignore the phones in question, just the general overtone of the comic is what is related):

I guess I should have clarified. I'd love nothing more than my posts to start saying Windows Phone and seeing their false appreciation and excitement only to see me still rocking my TB with CM once I actually see them.
Was just a question, thought maybe someone else might have had some hack to alter it somehow.

Ah okay, you just want to one up them in a slightly smartass way . Generally as mentioned, it's just a setting in apps you can change, at least for things like email clients, but you probably looked in whatever you are using already.

Yeah, primarily it's the Android Facebook app for statuses and photo uploading. I wouldn't have the slightest idea on where to start in tweeking anything in it. Naturally I think the settings in the app wouldn't allow me to change that.
Ok guys, I ALREADY searched for roms, but all of them are jokes. None of them are downloadable. My samsung galaxy 4G keeps giving me a force close message every 5 seconds, and I cannot use it. I wish to restore it back to the stock ROM, but when I try to click on a download, it brings me to some "lnx.lu" website so the uploader can make money. THEN it redirects me to some Hollywood advertisement that is totally irrelevant. Where can I get an actual download link for any rom? My phone is currently broken and I am frustrated. Could someone help me? Thanks in advanced.

@hyudryu
You should be more respectful. People are tired of helping with such simple requests. If no ROM at Multiupload is available, couldn't you figure out then that it was Multiupload the problem? Also, you checked the Bible, and that's it? There are hundred of threads but you only checked one. Can't you even look at the dates that the ROMs you were trying to get are very old? Search for a ROM, either GB or ICS, is even simpler than reading the Bible. There is a development section and there is a search. You could have just read a few thread topics in development section before making a thread. Also, check out the people helping you here. Look at their signatures. Full of working ROMs. Search and reading are not that hard and since you already know how to do it, then I suggest that next time you search a little further.

I hate people with long signatures and have a GIF in them. Really side tracks me.
First we have people who uses XDA from a mobile application, which has signatures enabled as default.
Code:
sent from my a0001
I could not care less.
Then we have the people who adds a GIF to their signature

}
(upvote or whatever)
Which doesn't make me upvote their comment or whatever, instead it side-tracks me from the post I'm trying to read. Really annoying and pictures should be allowed in signatures.
Then we have people who have their lifes work on a signature.
I don't mind those people, as it may be hard work they have put up. But still; not my thing.
Then we have people who have all information in the world about their phone, what ROM they run, recovery, kernel, settings, sometimes even weird patches.
IF I WANTED TO KNOW THAT STUFF YOU RUN THEN I WOULD ASK YOU RIGHT!?!? As if every human in the world asked the guy and he didn't want to tell each one by one.
At last we have people who bough a OnePlus device. So what people would do right, is they include the whole process of buying the phone into their signature. Not only on the XDA forum, but also on the oneplus forums (renamed to Community). It's getting on my nerves everytime i browse the OnePlus forums. Literally everyone has that stuff. STOP IT!
Code:
bought the phone 11/11/11
> processing 11/11/12
> shipping 22/11/33
> recived 77/33/22
CONGRATS!?!
Some people also have a picture instead of text, which makes it even harder to scroll down. Like I care when your device was bought.
Something to add to this rant, is that signatures makes a page go really fast, especially if people have a large signature. I see more signatures than actual replies.
For some reason you can even add which mobile carrier you have on your phone to your XDA profile. What's next? IMEI, S.O?
So you there: stop with signatures completely, they were made for emails in the first place and instead turned to be a spam in forums, people writing one line reply then a signature which is the motherload, that's SPAM. No wonders there's not a lot of posts in one page.
I can't tell if this rant was a long one or not. Some people will say for sure that you can turn off signatures or whatever. That shouldn't be necessary, instead look at your ugly signatures and remove them.
Reserved
Signatures were very popular in the past, now that many people uses mobile versions in my opinion they aren't a good idea. Forums used to lock signature images with 300x150px resolutions.

Using a mobile device isn't a issue. In all XDA forum apps I've tried you can turn off signatures.
I don't have a major problem with people with signatures, unless they make a book out of it, which everyone seems to do.
But yeah, the admins need to set a limit to signatures.
Signatures are a way for members to express themselves, pass on information, etc, etc. And yes, there is an option in the user control panel to disable them from your experience if you so choose! :good:
But opinion noted and thread closed.
