These are basic questions that have been answered 1000 times before.
You'd be amazed at how beneficial a little time spent searching would be...

First off let me apologize for Scotts response to you. It was neither helpful or informative.
In order to better help you, give us more details about the rommanager errors that you recieve. Have you considered flashing to another ROM? I use virtuous unity (now v1.25) and think it is rad. Overclocking is a pretty advanced skillset and difficult to master even for old pros. My inspire let's my ROM do the clicking for me, I love it.

I agree. It wasn't nearly as helpful or informative as a simple search would have been.
You can apologize all you want for me, but I stand by what I said because it's forum rules-- often the same thing is mentioned by Mods just before they lock a thread.

He has a good point though. Sad thing is hes just telling people the same things over and over again. And its the truth search and I guarantee 9 times out of 10 you'll find the answer you need.

My ears were burning for good reason.
Just to clarify... My post history speaks for itself. I'd say 6 or 7 out of every 10 of my posts are actually helping people, the other 3 or 4 of the 10 are telling it like it is.
I try to make them as sarcastic as I feel the situation requires, and trust me, it gets worse, but I restrain myself.
1 or 2 of those 3 or 4 "not so helpful" posts of mine, I'll often come back to the thread later on, and, if the poster has offered some degree of acknowledgement or reasonable justification for their lapse, I'll often apologize and even help... at that point.
Why not just help them in the first place?
Great question, glad you asked!
It's called. . . wait for it. . . behavior modification.
I've never started a single new thread, and I've managed to learn quite a bit in a short time. There's no excuse for others not using the existing knowledgebase that is already available to them here on XDA.
I feel it's only fair that people make a reasonable attempt to carry their fair share of the load... Learning how this **** works a little. . . just a little. . . on their own first, instead of assuming everyone here as nothing better to do than sit around waiting for the honor of answering the same questions over and over and over again.
Because if you don't nip it in the bud, often times, some people take it for granted, and start posting every little question that flows through their mind.
You aren't helping those people, you're making them lazy, and setting them up to get flamed harder in the future.

Indeed. I mean, it's next to impossible not to come off sounding like a prick. How does one get the message across otherwise?
Like I said, it's all in the way the initial question is posed that determines for me the way I'll respond, and the context.
When it comes to radios, I usually help with no reservations whatsoever, because it's a little trickier than other stuff, people get tripped-up on the different methods out there, and because it could mess up your phone if the perfect storm of events comes to pass for somebody.

Over clocking has gotten a little more difficult in certain roms. For instance,I run unity,and with the newer version they say don't use set CPU. Set CPU is just easier and does the work for you. Make sure to read the lee Droid thread through and through to see what others have had the best of luck with. As far as searching try "lee Droid overclock" to see if you can narrow it down quicker. The answer is out there,and with a little motivation you will be answering your own questions in no time. Also,don't be offended by any member that post a somewhat rude post,because those are the poeple who 9 times outta 10 answered the same question a million times. By these member being blunt,it sometimes actually helps the situation. What I do if someone answers my question with "its already been answered",I assume they have answered it somewhere or,since they know where the answer is,I go to there profile and read through the post's to help narrow it down. If you look through my profile I started a lot of threads my self,but quit because by sitting back and watching you learn more. Hell lately I haven't even been active in the dev threads lol. Anyways,best of luck to you new comer. It all gets easier in time

Community issues: Campaign for a fresh start

Hi guys,
You probably already know me from my other threads, mostly the support thread. If not, I would like to give a brief introduction: in june, I received an upgrade from at&t and decided to purchase the infuse 4g my first android phone.
I was thrilled with its performance, and the community started off strong. ROM's were coming out surprisingly fast, actually too fast for me to figure out which one I liked best.
I began to see that the developers threads were getting cluttered up with silly, often repeated questions, so I created a support thread to help lessen the load for the devs. I know it wasn't a perfect solution, but I helped build a small team of people who have been incredibly helpful so far, who I am beyond impressed with.
Now comes the bad part. Even my support thread, originally designed to avoid clutter, has become a landfill of lazy people who don't look for the answer to their question which has been asked and answered 30 times already.
All the devs have been subjected to so much bs that they are afraid to even release their work. Everyone flames everyone like crazy, but none of you guys can help the community. I am disgusted by most of your behaviors, and hope that you see how childish your arguments are.
Now, for my point: this community is still young, and we have accomplished so much already. We have the chance to have one of the strongest development teams out there, and a kick-ass community, in which we look out for each other's best interest.
I would like to propose a way to get things started again: we need a campaign to delete clutter/flame.
Neo works hard, but we need to help him out. Everyone, I urge you to look through your posts, find bad ones, and mark them in some way to be deleted. This is in order to resuscitate this potentially unbeatable community.
Thank you all, and I hope you understand my intentions

constructive crticism welscome
Moderator's(Neo) intervention was required as gtg's thread was going out of control.
as after his intervention members have started behaving themselves and Neo has removed/locked unnecessary threads this forum is at peace.
let the dead bury the dead and do not remind people again of what happened.
Just post relevant stuff and that is sufficient for everybody.
P.S.
if issues are not resolved then it never will be as no one will accept blame and any such thread will eventually result in blame game.
right now see that people are just paying attention to information,now calling them for campaign is also a distraction.

Hey, thanks for sharing your opinion with me in a respectful manner. However, I feel that the issue is not yet resolved, and the general forum is definitely the appropriate place to post it. The development is virtually at a standstill and I am not talking about gtg, but the other devs and would be devs who are now discouraged. I find that although your response was polite, it was completely inappropriate, especially considering what my original post stated. If you have an issue with my posts please message in private as opposed to calling me out/ racking up your post count.

I'm glad you guys are willing to help out in getting this show on the road. This can only be done by helpful members, especially the ones who read the rules and abide by them.
I think the main issue at hand is that people tend to speak their mind too often, in situations where a moderator should intervene. The best course of action is to report a post or PM a mod (for the Infuse, that's me ) and let them know what's going on.
I'm not on the board 24/7, so I too can miss stuff. But there are ALWAYS other mods who look after the Infuse forums when I can't, so reporting is the BEST thing you can do.
About "rebooting" the community: People are already getting annoyed by the lazy, demanding types, who don't use the search and just post another question which has been asked a million times before. Well, at least if it's in the Q&A forum, it's controlled. So that's our main focus for now: get people to ask their questions there, instead of the development or general forums.
This thread can stay open, as long as it's constructive criticism. All ideas are welcome, as long as it helps us out, right?

I wasn't aware that there was a Q&A forum until you mentioned it. I'm using the xda app and have the SAMSUNG Infuse 4g as my favorite, but within that category, the Q&A forum isn't listed. I clicked onto the forum tab and scrolled till I found the Q&A forum. Yeah people can search for it, but I wasn't even aware that forum existed. I just suggest adding the forum into the Infuse 4g category. I think there will be less questions asked in the wrong section if it was listed.

I think alot of people like myself are new android users. I knew nothing 3 months ago about Android then I got the infuse my first smartphone which seems like its a lot of peoples first android. So I admit I posted questions then went and found the answer when I got no replies. I think people just need to understand that this is very fresh for a lot of people. It was ridiculous on gtg's post but on the other hand people got so angry at othrs that knew very little.

And I think another reason why we see a lot of similar topics being posted especially regarding support is because new users (like myself) feel we need support about our specific situation, even tho we may have already read a similar thrend. Its happened to me were I posted help and either ill get a smart reply ie "its been posted 10 times already" or they may reply with a link. The link will be exactly what I've already read but, the thrend doesn't 100% pertain to my situation so I'm afraid I may mess up even more if I follow those steps (its actually already happened,my first brick) This is why we may see a lot of repeat thrends. I usually will encourage my support giver to pm me but I hardly receive any.

Why not have a separate section for rom support? I realize that sounds goofy but in the rom thread could be development related questions and in support section help and tech support?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Well, xda-developers is for... DEVELOPERS. Although most people on xda are in it for the custom roms and leeching of apps.
I agree there should be some kind of a "noob sandbox" where new users can ask their questions and get answers from more seasoned users/devs. But how do you guys propose we do that?

[Q] Difference between Android 4.0.3 and 4.0.4?

Can someone list any comprehensive changes between the two?

Obviously its easy for anyone to cite Wiki, but I was asking if there was anything they may have left out. Wiki is not always the most.reliable source for accuracy and comprehensive coverage pertaining to detail sometimes.

You can't get on xda ask how something is or what's better from us. Because those of us that do flash and venture out find out on our own. This entire post is pointless. Strong with you the newness is.

Its a little tough here on xda but its true that you need to try it out yourself and see what the difference is...personally between the 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 leaks we have, I noticed that 4.0.4 seems to be a lot smoother for me and battery drain seems a little better but I'm going to have to wait for a complete power cycle before I can confirm this

Not just in reply to this but the whole thing. I found this post looking for, well an answer the question that was initially asked. And very quickly pressed the back button on the browser and regoogled. I think the point is XDA is for a higher calibre level of experience and technical understanding and not for your day to day stuff you could read in a geek magazine, or Android Forums for example. Am I right? Just so I know not to make the mistake myself coz u guys get nasty

And I don't know how I never noticed this at the time, But you guys didn't either.
He never asked which was better, he asked what the major changes were,
Why would you guys suggest someone go through the steps required to install a new android version, instead of just answering their question............ Noobs aren't the problem, the arrogant behavior of the experienced members however..

Thanks for bringing back a year old + thread to let us know.

He never asked which was better, he asked what the major changes were,
Why would you guys suggest someone go through the steps required to install a new android version, instead of just answering their question............ Noobs aren't the problem, the arrogant behavior of the experienced members however..

I disagree, the community itself was built on the backs of do it yourselfers who spent a lot of time and effort to learn and share development, sources, and ideas. The mentality of xda has changed from that of the do it yourselfer spitballing ideas on better code implementation or how to get things working to that of a help desk where it's no longer a community striving to improve and learn they just want things now. Most are content never knowing the effort involved in compiling a ROM or how to modify an apk, hell most can't even use adb to capture logs. The issue here is most certainly complacency amongst newer members. The mentality needs to change in order to see improvement, that's why you see these old timers so grumpy because honestly it's ridiculous the amount of easily searchable questions run through xda.

I've been thinking maybe a sister site is needed. XDAusers sounds about right. Send all the "I want it now and I won't search" types over that way. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Some will help with devving, some will cry like a two year old when they get a bootloop. It takes all kinds. One thing I have noticed though. Those that can search and read are almost never heard from. Why? Because they search and read. A catch-22 at its finest.

I'm gonna disagree with you on this. this is whats wrong with the forums. More this than people asking stupid questions. They ask questions because they don't know. But you and people like you that rant should know better.
@OP, they are all in their infancy and none are really better than the other, go with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 and go from there.

Yes and no. If you're a noob, as we all have been at one point. The first thing that you have to do after joining is watch a little video we are all familiar with. "Use the search button", do your homework, investigate extensively, exhaust every possibility, try a few Rom and kernel combos, before you start asking the same dumb question that has been answered countless times before, in countless different parts of the forums.
Just wished people knew how to search a forum or to Google some more, that is it.

There isn't a fully functioning Jelly Bean ROM yet, but the CM10 ROMs have all the essential stuff working (phone, data, wi-fi, GPS, etc). So try out any one of the CM10 based ROMs. I'm currently on R-M-S CM10, it's feels really stable and optimized.

Weak. This is the first time I've ever been edited out in any thread here on XDA.
I guess the management here didn't want everyone to know what the privileged few really think about the rest of us.
@ OP, just flash away until you find one you like. And don't ever ask for any "best" anything around here. It's really subjective and people around here snap at such questions.

My sincere apologies for the earlier posts. Most RCs do not attend the RC forum and few that do actually participated in that thread which will certainly be removed now. I assure you that mods take these actions seriously and our punishments have been and are more severe due to a higher standard.

Nah don't sweat it. I've been trolling internet forums for more than a decade, so I know how these things go.
People are just talking amongst themselves and having fun. I poked fun at the whole thing, but I'm certainly not offended by it. No harm, no foul.

Yeah some of us snaps because it kinda gets annoying after 50 threads of "omg wut is da best rom i cn flash!?" Search tool is always welcomed to be used ..
Infact im not mad or anything just hate cluttered forums..

Some power tripping mod has deleted my comment on this thread... I asked which rom had better video playback (aokp or cm10), as I know from change logs both have issues but I wanted to know if maybe one worked better than the other.
The video playback is an objective feature of the rom so why is it unreasonable to ask someone who has already experienced both roms which is better? Rather than me having to dl both roms wasting internet data allowance then waste more time flashing both...
Sorry for the rant but it does piss me off when this type of thing happens, especially when it happens to me.

Jelly Bean roms are quite stable. I tested Pyromod's version and I did like it much, today I will test the CM10 build with the dragon kernel.
BTW, am I the only person who experiences strange stutter or maybe I should say, bad touchscreen reponsiveness on JB roms? Animations are fine in general no lag at all, but the phone doesnt register touches properly, and I need to focus a lot more the get around in menus compared to VenomS. I always clean install, so format and wipe everything.

isnt PyroMod CM9 which is ICS?

AOKP
I have flashed both the Bruce2728 CM10 Rom and the frankinstine AOKP rom and would have to say the the AOKP is the better of the two. The CM10 ROM has too many issues with wakelock and terrible battery life. The AOKP rom has corrected the Data issues and I am currently getting amazing battery life, going twice as long as I was on the CM10.

Yeah it doesn't help the OP because he deserves no help if he doesnt search..
And im not making any clutter here he might go ahead and open 40 thread of stupid questions like these thats why i told him to use the search tool now i think you should keep your mouth shut and btw you had a question aswell if you use the search tool you'd already find an answer to your question smarty
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.

Haha I hope the OP isn't using the app, as the search function is shot atm.
Anyway, people have to start somewhere, they might be new to all this. New to forums in general. You can't expect them to know the rules and etiquette of a particular forum right from the word go.
Why not use all that worldly knowledge to direct them to the right delivery of their queries. Instead of being downright rude, and discouraging them from continuing with a thread, and possibly going out and starting another clean one?
Don't get me wrong, it clutters up the boards alright, but I'm not going to flame someone for that reason. Like I said, keep it friendly, and use that same energy you use to rudely come down on them, to direct them on the right path. Essentially, or more so, probably, stopping them from starting another thread!
@OP. Like some have already stated, it really is subjective mate, and comes down to personal choice. Only you will know what's best for you. Once you've mastered the art of ROM Fu, it's great fun flashing new ROMS, making Nandroids, jumping between them, testing them out, modifying them to your liking, and finding what sits right with you.

[Q] OTA out of nowhere. Can't install it - what's going on?

Today (10/27) I got notified of an OTA on my Skyrocket, and I haven't heard anything about one. I am running 4.0.4, rooted, with CWMR v5.5.0.4.
I did a nandroid backup, backed up all my apps with TB, and set SuperSU to survival mode. Then I let the OTA download, it installed and then it rebooted - into recovery. I continued the reboot from CWMR and when it finished the boot, the OTA said it was interrupted and couldn't finish. I cannot find a zip file on the phone anywhere to manually flash.
Tried this twice with the same result. What is going on? Where did this OTA come from anyway? What should I do? I think rebooting into recovery is interrupting the process somehow, but I am at a loss as to what to do now.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

So this post could've been left at one reply telling the guy that he can't install and should've looked in general. But no, feeling the need to further stomp the guy into the dirt was at the top of the priority list. If you saw someone already make the point, why not report and move on? Saves a lot more time.

I'm not really lazy, I just don't have all day to hang out on a forum like some other people. I told you that I did a quick search and when I couldn't find an answer, I asked a question - in the Q&A section.
Sorry I'm not an expert in everything and ruined your day by asking a question.
You could have just ignored my post, but I guess you needed to prove how superior you are. I'd looked at some of your posts and a lot are like the one above - no help, lots of ego.

In his defense I was able to find an answer to your question on Google fairly quickly, but then again I have no clue what you Googled.
Still, the first reply gave an answer to your question and crazy came in well after that was posted. He didn't have to, yet he went out of his way to make you feel like crap.

OTA Update can not be Done on Rooted phone. Not worth going back to stock for this Little Update. Wait for Jelly Bean....

He didn't make me feel like crap - complete strangers do not do that for me. It's just annoying because posts like that can drive people away.
However, I did feel bad after I realized that there were several other threads on the same topic. I usually make an effort to avoid duplicate posts, but in this case I was in something of a hurry. In any event, I found my answer - I'm not taking the update, it's not worth the effort to go back to stock recovery.
Thanks!

There's a good amount of normal people on here. If the site was how you describe it they shouldn't let anyone who isn't a developer join. "U NO MAKE ROMS OR KERNELS U NO WORTHY OF FORUM" is basically what's spewing from your mouth. Have whoever's in charge kick every single member off of the site if they're not a dev since that's the attitude you wanna have.
Otherwise, stop being such a damn bully and stop giving the site a bad rep. He made a mistake and got his answer. You clicked the thread, saw the answer and still decided to pummel him. That's called "being an asshole".
