Im 35. I have a full time job pipefitting. showthread please. i got rained out today in south louisiana i work like 100 hours a week. i havent the time annymore and plus im tired i thank you for seeing tho sir.

If you haven't got the time to search, how have you got the time to reply here.
I'm not giving the link because one of the main rules of this site is to search.

Lile i said. we got rained out. you got a job? Rained out. cant work because it qas raining. rules? All types of posts and linls on this thing. why bother ansqering if all you gunna be is a small childish fool?

Yes I have got a job, but that's irrelevant.
I'm not gonna spoonfeed anyone the answers. I've already told you where to look, so if you can't follow those simple directions you really shouldn't be on this site.
I'm not gonna reply again so there's no point in you replying either.

Really, you clam you're 35, but could you at least speak English ? Or at least spell properly ? I'm failing to see how other members are supposed to help when your posts have the spelling of a modern day rap song plus, I've seen younger members on this forum who are more polite and actually speak proper English than you.

@op
if you got no time to search then how come you will get time to use your newly bought phone.
Only ask and respond logicaly here.

Why this became an issue, I have no idea. The sticky is at the top of this section. Easy to find. Thread closed.

[Important] Everyone Please read!

There have been allot of misunderstandings recently about where to post certain posts, and to ask certain questions. We are all here to help each other. Sometimes that help comes in the form of pointing you in the right direction. XDA member TRusselo has made several awesome and informative posts. If we will each just take the time to read these post we will save allot of space, time, and friendships.
[New Members][Guide] Get the most out of XDA!! - This one has some great info on the different sctions, like this-

Why you get short/one word answers! (The Long Answer) - This explains the reason you sometimes get answers you don't feel are complete or specific enough. The reason people say search, instead of just giving you the answer outright.
A Plead to the members of XDA, is a very well written plead for us all to just get along. (Which I totally agree with.)
I am begging each and every person to PLEASE read these post in their entirety. If we do, I really feel this can be a much friendlier place to hang out. We are all trying to accomplish the same thing. Just use common sense so that we don't frustrate the few people we have left here to help us. I am sorry if anyone takes offense to this. I just wish we could all be on the same page. There are some great, much smarter people here then me. I would really like to learn from them and not turn them off to helping us out.
Thanks,
Tim
I couldn't agree with you more.
Thanks Tim, nicely done.
Very much agreed. Only thing is the search feature does not work as well as people would like you to believe. Many times I don't even get anything close to what I'm searching for. Just throwing that out there, not to freak on people when they say they search and can't find nothing.

I can agree to this from experience, sometimes it doesnt give you any results to what your looking for. BUT maybe re-wording the search will help a little.
nice! I just hope people follow this..

Analogy (from Greek "ἀναλογία" – analogia, "proportion") is a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject

I expected the thread to be deleted.
The hand-holding would be a good forum. There are times when I do not mind going through the same old stuff with someone(not often.)
The anal one... just get tired of people complaining about little stuff that they knew was wrong with the phone from the beginning.
Neither of the two categories are bad, but when the anal guys and the, 'oh god! hold my hand please' guys invade the developers forum, the really good info becomes harder to find with a search.
I know this isn't a perfect world, the post was meant to be light hearted.
If I've offended anyone... well, thanks for making my day
well its not that offensive. what's wrong with calling someone anal retentive? which is what I knew you meant. its not like you named names or anything.
Waaay to much anal talk going down in the infuse forums...

Hey, I really apologize if I had offended anybody.
Honestly.
Mea culpa.
That was never my intention to insult or offend anyone.
You guys are really taking this way too seriously.
I wrote it as an attempt at humor in the general section and the Q/A section...not in the DEV thread, out of respect.
As I was trying to help new users out, I was running into the same questions over and over again.
If some of these guys would just read a few pages instead of asking the same questions over and over again. If they had bothered to surfed through the threads, they could have seen it.
I wrote it as a tongue in cheek comment...poking fun of myself as I had tried to learn the android and custom rom process. I had soft bricked and boot looped my phone plenty of times. I got a usb jig. I had read up on acid, thunderbolt and adrenaline etc..and opened up roms to try to understand it as well. I was poking fun at myself in the process. Until this August, I owned a flip phone and thought it was the bomb.
If you can't really see the comment as a funny for what it is, I apologize. I mean it. Take it to heart and move on.....
anyway,
Have a Joyous Season with your family and friends...
fwiw, I will enjoy my infuse for the next two years...
running what ever rom that works...
and for the record..I REALLY do appreciate the works of all the "giants" that have contributed to this phone...you guys know who you are...THANKS.
I don't get it.......

Just because they look alike doesn't mean that they are alike. Also, this thread will be locked. Literally the second link in this forum is for discussing Jelly Bean, and you couldn't even read to there. Stop being lazy.

There are a lot of questions in this General section as wells if you've noticed. The General section is for everything, yes even questions. It is funny that this is a simple topic and you guys managed to twisted into something else. I am really astonished of your creativity; it amazed me. How ho.

Because the question was answered in the thread I linked. It also helps keep you from being called noob. In the xda rules it says search before posting. Had you attempted to search to see if there was a existing thread about using vibrant roms this would not have happened. It is that simple.
Ok People... some device forums DONT have a Q &A section, please try to help guide users rather than treating them like crap.
This device forum DOES have a Q&A. simply tell or show him like i am..
here man, this is where you should post...

but please read stickies before posting anything. there is alot of information that will answer your question without asking anything.
also devices are very different and you cannot expect something from one phone to work on another phone, or if it does by some chance boot, not everything will work. this is why devices have different names, the are DIFFERENT.

Thanks to all devs and contributers

After seeing some comments posted in certain threads I thought that it would be a good idea to post a thank-you "note" on the forums thanking all devs and helpfull people working on this already great device to make it even better.
I bought the one x knowing it to be able powerfull device but once I got it I pretty much satisfied with it except all the bloat att put on it and even worse there was no way to get it off. So that began my journey looking for a way to free my device from its useless load and I happened to have stumbled upon xda-developers just at the right time when xfactor was being released. I Immediately rooted via the help of all the wonderful folks on these forums. A few days later I installed viper xl and was blown away by the level of customizability of the Rom. Later I installed beastmode and overclocked up to 1.8 ghz. Now I had my dream machine....no bloat ,blazing fast, super stable.:thumbup:. There have been a few ups and downs and "oh what do I do now. I hope I haven't bricked my phone" moments but it always turned out ok and now I have a setup I'll never want to get rid of. I don't have any money to donate to anyone, but if I did I would, because it all happened because of them. Anyway typing this llong of a message on the phone is a pain so let me end it here. Thanks guys keep up the work.

I ask question all the time in the dev section. Generally always get a respectable answer.

Only people who get flamed around here are those who refuse to do their own reading and research, or who flash international roms when they should know better.
The only reason I do any of this is to boost my Thanks Meter anyway.
