Why there are two Windows phone forum on home page? - General Questions and Answers

Wp8 is just a successor of wp7, why are there two separate forums? Will there be a third wp forum when wp9 comes out?
Why aren't there separate forum for Android 2, 3 and 4?

No they're not. The poster above you is out of order, but XDA is a DEVELOPMENT site, not a site for stupid questions.

Hercules user here?

Would flashing one of the skyrocket 4.0.4 be worth while? Obviously would flash Hercules kernel and rotation/build prop fix.
simple solution, try it. Everyone's opinion is going to vary, so I highly suggest u form your own. Good luck.
Just looking for some feedback from people that have been using latest ICS update
If your looking for a best rom thread our mods won't allow it and I will report it just test for yourself

Angry much ^^^ do you know how to read? I'm asking about general opinion of 4.0.4 vs our 4.0.3 ICS. I've been around xda long enough pal. I know how things work. Why don't you take your 1 1/2 months on xda and the 1/10th of my posts and contributions and go bother someone else!

So thread locked for a few reasons. Asking for a good rom is relevant to every one person and what one thinks is good doesn't mean you will like it. Second wrong section. And since you know how to port it there is no reason for this thread.

Which do we download?

For the 8/26 build there are 3 different torrents. Which one do we download?

CM10 Camera

Hey just wondering if anyone knows when the cm10 camera will get the option to save to external? It seems like such a simple but useful option that they just left out which was on cm9 and i'm sure they will eventually include.

Do you ever do anything besides troll these threads to hunt for people posting in the wrong category? Seriously, I've never seen any comment you've made on XDA that adds value or benefit to any discussion. He should post in a CM thread with 1,000 replies so his question can get buried under half a dozen ongoing discussions in the thread? OP had a legitimate question so he posted in Q&A. Get a life bro.

This was asked on my thread and the best answer is: it's up to you. If it's important to you, see if you can hack it out. Or try to get someone to work on it for you. And I used to give **** to illnevertell, who coincidentally is someone I'd call a friend now. Does he troll? yeah. Could it be called annoying to some? Sure, but he has a point and his hearts in the right place. As I've mentioned before, its like being a government employee; when you deal with assholes and morons all day long, you begin to think that everybody is one. Question after question that could be handled without wasting anyone's time gets annoying as well. I actually saw a thread begun a while back for a douche mad at XDA and everyone in it because the idiot asked a dumb question in a dumber way and got his panties all bunched up at some ribbing about it. I believe it was something to the effect of "I am going to tell everyone I know on the net to stay away from XDA". Seriously? This is supposed to be a learning and sharing forum, not ****ing tech support for morons who want a flashy phone without doing anything to earn it. Go on ****ing Craigslist and find one of those assholes who sell ROM flashing, ok?
**This was not meant for the OP, just got off on a little rant of my own. Illnevertell can be harsh, but that doesn't make him wrong.

Questions in dev threads.....how do we compare?

I just popped in the cm10 dev thread for the Verizon nexus and it is question city in there.
How do I do this? Why is this happening? Does my **** stink?
For as much crap as we give posters on this device we actually run a pretty tight ship here.
Great job everyone, we should all be proud.

I hope that more users will notice how we act here from other device subforums.
It drives me crazy when I try to read through the dev forum for sgh-i717 or most other devices, and it's almost impossible to figure out what the developers are doing, what issues are current, who is doing what... I mean if the idea is to be a development community and you can't track the development or have the ability to contribute because you know what is going on... So many users asking questions about the rom or kernel when there is a Q&A thread for that specific purpose. It really works against the community, and you see the high output developers leave because no one contributes to their projects and their threads are thrashed. It's stressful to be the only dev on a project, I have some experience there.
Thank goodness for contributors and other devs for jumping in on some of the projects I started or we started together or the projects we have now wouldn't exist. Not to mention the other devs that kanged that work to make something even better. I don't look down on that, because it keeps the flashaholics happy, and we all get to learn about their skill sets.
I think our community gets that. And the trolls just sorta get squeezed out by reporting their posts and keeping threads on topic.
<.<

Anyways...

I agree with you its frustrating to have ten million questions that have been answered or are self explanatory.
However if you goto the device the op is talking about they have multiple versions of the same phone all lumped into a category. Each one had a development section but there is only ONE q&a section. And with the amount of development on that device the q&a section moves extremely fast. That doesnt mean its ok to post questions in the dev thread AT ALL! It does mean the devs should be linking q&a threads in the first post so people arent hunting through 20 pages of current thread just to find it.

This is a under used suggestion. Even if in the wrong place answer the question move on. Report posts of people telling people to use search and not actually helping keep the thread clean. Think about it. How many times have you seen somebody post hey man use search and then multiple other people will do the same thing? I think I have been guilty but I try to avoid doing that anymore. If I cant offer a answer I dont post. It keeps the noise down and people from misunderstanding me.

My opinion below still stands, there are already a couple threads that, if you used search, most users would find what they need. But, as this thread is covering all the other stuff, I have reopened it.
Trolls and flamers have no place in this thread and will be infracted, no more warnings.

There already is a similar post/thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268, coupled with the fact that this type of thread does nothing but invite content-less flaming and trolling.
