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)

Dear developers for the Sensation, I have a special request.
Could one of you please provide a flashable zip that contains the camera drivers for the HTC Amaze 4g? However, I've read that drivers are also in the kernel image of the particular device. If so, could one of you please modify a Sensation ICS kernel (if you are allowed to) to include the camera drivers for the Amaze 4g?
If you would be able to help with this request, I'd be able to try something, if it works I'll be able to provide a great gift for all the HTC Sensation owners here on XDA
This needs to be in Q&A not in the ROM thread.

It's a request, not a question This is something that will most likely need help from a developer, most of which are here in the developer's and Roms section. That is why. I hope I didn't offend you
True but the rules state that all requests / questions go in the Q&A.
Developers do look in the thead as well and help out if they can. This thread is purely for Roms and Kenrels for users to downlaod.
If you have any questions look at the top stickied thread in this forum and it will explain the rules.

No problem. If you are not sure where to post, you can ask in the general or Q&A sections. That way if you find your thread should then be in the developemt thread you can ask a moderator to move it.
I guess that is true, but sometimes it depends on the situation If this is something that I and other members of XDA can benefit from, I wouldn't mind posting directly into this section, considering it is a direct route to the developer(s) rather than an indirect route.
I've actually managed to think of a solution! Could anyone with any experience in linux kernels (eg compiling them from source etc) contact me? I'm on to something I believe
Too new to post in dev forum, but wanted to note that in build two my exchange calendar synced without issue. In build one it would not do so. Great ROM. Appreciate the work.
Camera not working

Brad I dont know what made you feel that, and I think I have registered myself to XDA site to get answers for my question and thats the main objective of this site to help other Android users. You may be technically smart with Android and I'm not so I will ask questions and I'm not concerned about the 10 posts or whatever. Secondly I installed PACman ROM but Whats app is not functioning,so I you are a senior member kindly help, it will be appreciated.

Hi,
Please ask your question here.
It is a general Question and Answer thread in the Galaxy R forum. Any of your questions about the Galaxy R should go into its Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum, or into the thread I have indicated.
Cheers

Hi,
Please try and post into the correct section or at least into the General section for your device. I don't see how the ROM developer will ever find this thread, especially since you don't mention which device it is for. Seeing how you now have your 10 posts and can post into Dev threads, be a little bit careful with posts like this one. In some Development threads it will be OK as you are confirming that a previously broken feature is now fixed, but in other Development threads it may be considered out of bounds -especially if there is a change log indicating the fix. You will have to look at what's being posted, how it is being received and then trust your judgement.
Cheers

Thread closed because it has run its course.
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...

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.

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

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.
I apologize in advance if this has been answered before, but can us Verizon users flash ROMs from the main HTC One M8 Android development threads? I will always ask in the ROM thread to be sure but is there a general rule of thumb?
Thanks
You can flash AOSP Roms becuase they are universal but anything else other than that, I just suggest reading the OP entirely... If you still don't know just ask in the thread. The worst they can do is say no(Or flame you of course).

I would add that you should read the op entirely AND then just do a search in the thread for "Verizon". That will most likely keep you from being flamed. Not because they will respect you for having searched first but because it will almost certainly keep you from needing to post the question entirely. People who flame others for not doing a search first are usually assholes about it but they're also right.
