Very low quality posts: new rules needed?

I come here every once and a while to see what's new with my HTC Dream, but I always dread it because it's so cluttered with useless posts. There always seems to be 20+ pages of people asking whether this or that feature works in a particular ROM, or just saying they will install it, or "cool, thanks". Maybe there should be some more posting guidelines? For example,
* If you start a thread, please keep the OP updating with an FAQ as questions are asked. And let people know once you've updated the OP as well.
* If asking a question, make an effort to see if it's been asked already.
* Rate the thread 1 - 5 stars instead of either thanking or bashing the OP without providing any other real content.
* Get rid of post count display. I've seen this help on other forums.
* More moderators for each board, if needed.
Anyway, it's great so many people are into this and eager to post, but let's try make the information a little easier to access for everyone.

[Q] What do you guys think about this [LWP]

Hi guys,
I tried posting in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion but since I'm a new member (although I have been reading here for quite some time), I can't post there.
I just released a live wallpaper on the Play Store and I would love to get feedback as to what you guys think about it.
* What would be good features to add.
* Things that don't work / bugs /crashes (although I'm pretty sure it doesn't crash)
* Your overall opinion
* Anything else!!

[Q] security for android - beginner friendly how to?

hi all!
please note: i am nothing near a professional user or even coder! i rooted my phone and i install custom roms on it, and thats about it. in addition to that i am concerned about my privacy. for me it started with the LBE Privacy Guard from the play store, it was quite nice until it stopped working, and made my phone stuck in a boot loop...
i have read and searched a lot of stuff before i decided to write this. but i havent found an easy and understandable how to. maybe that is because there no easy way to this. please go easy on me if there is already a thread for this...
i just installed openpdroid on my samsung galaxy s+ (i9001) and that is just because user bululu has made a patch for the rom i am using (cm10.1 from user davidteri) - thanks to both of them! i installed the patch with cwm (clockworkmod) and afterwards i was wondering there is no privacy setting in my menu or anything that would let me set up permissions. but from all the stuff i was reading before i figured i will need some kind of gui (not sure this is the right word - that goes for most of the stuff, but please correct me where u can, i will try and learn) so i installed 'pdroid manager' from the play store. that would finally let me set permissions for the apps! so far, so good. i am now using openpdroid...
should be all good at this point u might think, but this is where my questions begin ^^ f.ex:
is this the best solution atm? are there more solutions? what are the differences? what can u recommend?
furthermore i try to figure out how to encrypt email on android. most things i read point to k9 mail and using agp (or apg? is this the same?). i did some research on that topic an it seems to be the 'android privacy guard'. more questions here too...
it seems to be out of development, since the last changes are from 25.12.2010. is there a newer alternative for that or something i missed? or maybe it is still the thing to use or it is quite finished in its current state?!? but i dont wanna clog my device with old or unsupported software until i am 99% sure on what to do...
so basically i am asking if there is a nice and user friendly (with images) 'how to' for this kind of stuff i was just missing or is it just impossible (at the current state) to do such thing? if both answers are 'no' i'd like to start something like that, of course with your help that is...
because it seems the info i found is not coherent, its all bits and pieces one needs to bring together (in the right order and with compatible software). at least thats what it feels like for me as non-professional user and linux noob. i have no problem with puzzling stuff together but i also would like to help others who would like to do increase their security and get different opinions on whats the best way to do some things...
so if any of u got an opinion to any of the above please let me know! and help or links would be greatly appreciated! lets see if we can bring some things together and make our devices, our communication and our data more secure! and please note: this should not be device specific, my device and rom was just for information and for better understanding my starting point. this should be as broadly defined and open minded as possible. so everybody could partake and make use of it...
thanks for reading!
kind regards

hi.
i tried this rom and i found no bugs. little 'issues' i got are
* its shows 'vilhala final' in somewhere bulild version or somewhere i cant remember
* i started subway surfer and it ran with minor lags, but one i'm done playing. i couldnt exit game and suddnly fone got forzen and shutdown. might be extensive battery drain or sur to less RAM, but fone didn't restarted. i did battry pull. pluged into charger and then started, phone boots normally. (i had 79%battery when i started game)
* fonts are not attractive to me but thanks to dev who gave us choice to download custom fonts online and use it normally. i did that.
* Adw launcher has not any better looking themes (to me)
* Status bar dissapread so many times (i recheckd settings)
* THIS THINGS MADE ME THINK THAT ive read sgst959v can b overclocked at most 1.3, but ive seen in quadrnt tht this is overclocked at 1.4.
i want to let people know that i am not any dev or skilled person, m just normal user sharing his experience about this rom. i dont know exactly that is was kernel or rom which overclocked CPU to 1.4 . m using blastoff kernal with this rom.
*** all those above stated are not bugs or something, they are just issues in encountered while using this rom , so please dont take it as negative. i really appreaciate the effort of dev, and i believe to let dev know about user experiences. + or -ve.
PROS
smooth, customiszable (really) , no lags during functions, clean scrolling , effective DSP manager, power menu mod, removed bloatwares, nice connectivity modem, very nice battery timing, beautiful buble effects excellent grident looks in messaging (clean yet beautiful), wifi battery and signal icons are good.
thank u soo much for this . and i reaqest, people still have this phone so please do devlop more of roms for sgs4g t959v. i really apreeciate your effort.

EDIT
Woops, I replied to the wrong thread

Kernel Tweaking Settings (Synapse,3c,Toolkit)

I was hoping to get some feedback on what settings people are using either with Synapse-skyhigh kernel or Kernel Toolkit-Sickness kernel (or 3c,kernel adiutor,etc) and what the goal is of your settings (battery,performance,guessing) and which rom you are using. Like:
Rom/Kernel-
Kernel App-
List of anything changed from default-
Governer-
Battery-
Etc-
Reason for settings- (performance, battery, mixture, etc)
Actual result of settings- (terrible, good battery, bad battery/good performance, etc.
Each time I use either Skyhigh or Sickness I find myself going through synapse or 3c and chicken out on changing anything important looking as I have no idea what repercussions are. I was looking in general forum threads for each but am hoping for a more specific to our device kind of feedback.
I really hope there are several responses with various types of setups as it would GREATLY be appreciated as Im aware the time to respond a setting list is not generally looked forward to but Im also aware any thread I start gets a few replies at the most so to the few or hopefully wide audience I thank you ahead of time. To those that laugh at my no reply result know that I am too. :laugh:
