Hey all,
I've finally found a ROM which suits my needs perfectly. Everything is spot on and
I'm really happy with it - but I came to sending someone a file via bluetooth today and it appears I can't send or receive anything over bluetooth...
Can anyone else confirm this? I can pair with another device easily but any actual transfers fail on both send/receive.
Thanks
Please do not open new threads for ROM specific questions, you'll get better answers, faster posting ROM specific questions on their ROM specific thread while also cutting down on the new thread clutter.
Thanks for the advice but I tried posting in the relevant ROM section and it said I wasn't authorised to do so, it pointed me in the direction of the Q&A section.
Does anyone have any helpful advice?

He meant in the rom thread, not the development section.
Also, I don't have this issue.. Are you sure it isn't the device that you are trying to send/receive stuff from??
kindly send me msg if you have something to test(new release, apps etc) for i9003 for free! its because i use it also, might as well help ....hehehhe
which lead me to wonder if we have bugtracker of some sort(yeah i read threads for i9003 custom roms and noticed the bugs are reported in those threads)
You had to create a NEW THREAD for this?
You could have just posted it at the ICS CM9 or ICS MIUI thread?!
i would if i was allowed to post in dev section ...

Don't be so mean, if there's a qna thread for ics point him to it, no need to tell him off. Its a general thread, I've seen people post threads called 'official off topic thread's with it stickied and 'general thread here!'. I don't know if there is a qna for ics, if I would I would point it to him.

an easy way to do it would be for OP to get the files he wants and start testing, while browsing the forum and commenting appropriately on things they have questions about, etc. since I've heard there's a 10 post minimum before posting in the dev section, I'm sure reading around will help give them an idea how the forum works, and help the apparently unavoidable NOOB FLAME when questions are asked inappropriately. that may be part of the reason for the posting limit, you know
so, cyborg5, why not get those files, install, and read around a bit while taking notes of things you find in testing, and when you reach 10 posts you'll be able to provide feedback in the appropriate place?
thanks.. ive installed this port for 2 weeks now..problems i found were already posted, so to be safe..i didnt repost..and i also found this(tester call in irc)

thanks anyway...!
I need to add back the operator's name in the notification bar and notifications. i have android 4.0.4 rom SCV7 but need the operator name in the status bar and notification bar. what file I need to edit? help me please!!
First off, if you have a question regarding a specific ROM please post it in the OP for THAT ROM. Please do not open a new thread. Rdavisct is more likely to see it and help you faster. Also it keeps our forums clutter free.
Now regarding your question:
If you ask nice, you might be able to get rdavisct to make you a quick flashable zip to do what you need. It requires modding of some pretty important files, and I wouldn't recommend you doing it yourself unless you know how.
That being said, ask your question in the proper thread HERE. :good:

He can't post there because he has less than 10 posts.
To the OP, there are several ways to get your post count up so that you can post in the dev section, please search on how to do that. Once you have 10 posts then you can go post your request in the correct thread in the dev section. NEW THREADS FOR THIS TYPE OF THING ARE NOT OK!
Ah gotcha. Thanks Jim. Was unaware of that...
Hello everybody !
I have an HTC Desire S, and I made the bigest mistake to upgrade to 4.0.4 via RUU.
I just want to downgrade to 2.3.5 with htc sense 3.0 withouth losing my warranty if that is possible !
Please tell me how I can do this and please behave this topic as a beginner person with no knowledge in this kind of operations !
I thank you in advance and hope to receive as many as possible answers that could help me to solve this problem.
P.S. I am from Romania. If someone around here knows the language, we can also speak in private.
Thanks !

Why can people not READ!!!!! This is a QUESTION - don't post it in the DEVELOPMENT forums That's why we have a Q&A forum.
Is it really that difficult for people to understand the basics? Also, learn to search. The question you have asked has been answered too many times to count - so please, go and read the stickies, use the search function and then you will, hopefully, understand what you need to do without us having to repeat what has been said many, many times before.
This is the kind of response that I did not expected to receive. If u know the basics, and if u are very good at this, help others too do not try to give them ethics lessons.

Read the rules of XDA. First Rule;-
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

I pointed out to you that you posted in the wrong place - Dev forum is for DEVELOPMENT work, not for people to ask questions.
I also pointed out that you should search first. Believe me, your exact question has been answered before - you are not the first person to ask this.
There is no point simply telling you the answers because then you won't understand what, why or where and if something goes wrong you will be lost. Much better to read, learn and understand exactly what you are doing and why.
Actually, simonTS is right.
Don't expect help, when you are incompliant to read forum rules.
This section is dedicated to custom roms etc.
Check other forums sections. There is plenty of stuff about downgradeing.

Just repect forum rules, post your questions in Q&A and you'll have expecting answers.
Try search by yourself, you probably find what you need :silly:
Just too slow !
Ok. Thanks. I have posted to the Q&A forum. Please delete this one.
So even after being scolded for not being bothered to search & find the solution yourself you still just post the question & expect others to get you out of the hole you yourself got you into! Man up, learn to read & fix it yourself!

hey all, just joined the forum, been lurking for a while, trying to learn about the whole rooting process. i am still not 100% confident on the whole thing, but i am thinking about giving it a shot.
have had a few smart phones, all from t-mobile except for this last one, which is a samsung galaxy s3 from verizon, running android 4.1.2. i have watched a bunch of videos, and read a bunch of threads, but want to make sure i don't turn my phone into a brick by doing this, so i am asking here now.
if i follow the instructions in the video by officialphonerebel for the SCH-I535 will that give me root access? i tried to post a link to the video but since i am a new member the site won't allow me to do that. what else do i need to do in order to delete all the bloatware that comes pre-installed? do i need to unlock the bootloader? or will the process described in the video do that already?
thanks in advance from a dumb union plumber and pipe welder...

However, you found the time to move my thread, but not to help me? Cool, thanks for that too.

1.Does the video show you how to root from 4.1.2 jelly bean?
2. Yes you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash anything.
3. Most custom ROMs have bloatware removed.
4. The only way to brick your phone is by flashing something meant for another device.
5. Kenny is a moderator so he doesn't really have to help you just moderate the forums which he did.

Kenny moves threads once they are reported so don't go subtly suggesting anything.

Thank you for the info. The video I watched said 4.1.2/4.1.1., so I am not sure if they require the same procedure or not.
So after I root the phone, I need to flash a custom ROM? I can't just run an unlocked stock version of 4.1.2?
Understood about the bricking, I will pay attention and read what I am flashing first to make sure it is for my device
This forum must run differently than other forums. I am a supermod over on a motorcycle racing website, and we need to be knowledgable about what we are moderating, and give advice and help the members, not just moderate.

I wasn't subtly suggesting anything. I think I was pretty straightfoward saying that in addition to moving my thread he could have helped me answer my questions.
Follow the instructions in below post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35418324
This will give you rooted stock rom.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

follow the directions in this thread >>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 and you will be rooted with an unlocked botloader and ready to flash.
from there you you can stay stock rooted and remove apps yourself. alot of people like titanium back up for that. or you can flash a touchwiz/samsung based ROM that has most if not all of the bloatware removed and allows to add what you want thru the installer at setup. you can find these ROMs in android development. or you can flash an AOSP (android open source project) ROM that is based off "pure google" with developer mods and preferences included. you can find these ROMs in original android development.
backup your phone. i use nandroid and nandroid manager but there are others that may work better for you. only flash stuff for vzw. have fun.

Be careful! Moderators do not have knowledge of every device. We are here to moderate based on forum rules. Learn to read the rules and how to search. Moderators are volunteers responsible for over 35 device forums and are not here to do the searching for you.
Your attitude will get you less and less people wanting to help you. XDA is NOT a support site. It is a Development site.

be careful of what?
and now i understand that this forum is different than the others i frequent. like i said, i am a supermod (voluntarily as well) on another site, and on that site, all of our mods, supermods, and admins need to be familiar with all aspects of what they are moderating, so i assumed (incorrectly apparently) that this site was run the same. my apologies for that.
my attitude? i thought it was rude of you to just moderate the thread, and not even let me know whether or not you could help or not. it was fine to tell me you moved the thread, and it was my fault for posting it in the wrong section, but all you had to say was "hey listen, i don't know much about your device, but you posted it in the wrong section, so i moved it for you." and everything would have been fine.
i read tons of "support" threads on this site, and was not aware that it was for developers only, again, my apologies. can you direct me to a site that is for support please?
for those of you that helped, i thank you.

Thread closed, I will assume you feel it necessary to vent your frustrations, but again, your above post does nothing towards the contribution and/or furthering of development.
One of the main rules of XDA is to read and follow the posting rules prior to posting. Nowhere in these rules is there a requirement for, or of, a moderator to answer your questions just because you asked one. We act on reported posts from users that violate XDA posting rules, and yours did.
If you are a moderator elsewhere, you should be familiar with the codes and standards that it takes to moderate. Firing back and getting the last word in to moderators here is not a classy or nice thing, might be on the site you volunteer on, but not here.
Now, KennyGlass123 may unlock so that you can reply to him. Or, you could have used the PM system to express your dissatisfaction of things. But you did not, hence, me locking this thread.
Have a good weekend.
