[Suggestion for Rules] Identify users' posts

I am going to receive my Nexus 7 in couple of days and I have started reading the respective forums. I got scared when I saw one of the threads has more than 1000 pages i.e. more than 10,000 posts I have to read to avoid falling on others' mistakes or to avoid repeating a question.
With such thread it is next to impossible to read it and keep the device in the safe side from mistakes which were faced by other users.
Therefore, I would suggest if there is a general Rule in all replies or posts to mention the word [Problem] in the starting of any post.
If this will be followed, it will be easier for users to search for the problems which others faced in a particular thread for a ROM, app, mod, etc...
Hope my idea is clear.

Or just Google search your problem and append xda and your device at the end of the query

The last pages of kernel, rom and tweak releases contain and cover the biggest parts of what's new and what could happen. You're never alone with a problem. Some development sub forums have guides for nearly everything.

Looks the idea isn't good. Anyways it was just and idea.

Hi, I have a cdma based android phone. The model is zte v6700. Purchased yesterday for my dad who had cdma sim. He finds difficult to swipe and answer call. In my note 2 I've installed big screen ID, which allow me to tap to answer or decline. I tried installing this app and still doesn't work. Is there any way to get tap to answer instead of swiping up to accept.

[Completed] Help, unknown manufacturer bad rom

First I would like to apologize for the english, I'm using Google Translator. Well .. I bought a smartphone by AliExpress, the price that it cost I do not expect it to be a great gadget.
But the ad said it was a Lenovo s820t, never found on the internet about this model. In short, to get my smartphone soon noticed the box that it was not an original device. But still a good player. Using had few problems. Too bad it is very modified Android and failing to install some apps like Instagram.
There is a ROM that could use to leave my smartphone better?
***'I'm new to the forum and I can not post the pictures and screenshots of the phone. But theys are be att

I can find much about your phone either, just a few sites in Chinese and Russian
Asking in the general q&a forum may get you more help from others

There are some others looking for the same thing as you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/to-rom-t2805116
If you do find something be careful as the sticker on you phone says s820t but screen shot says a820t. May be a difference @KJ found this thread

[Completed] Newbie to Mobile hacking, need pointers to root Galaxy Y GT s6102

Hi All,
Just discovered XdaDev by googling....like the spirit of communal help, hope I can contribute back one day.
Am semi tech on many different things but I've got no 'head space' on mobile tech, rooting and all that goes with it.
The more I read the more I get confused, many posts come assuming you know stuff already or have a 'familiarity',
=MY PROBLEM=
My Galaxy Young GT S6102 keeps filling up as storage is low spec. Due to Samsung forced updates I either factory default it again and run around with no security or Learn to ROOT it and perhaps put a minimal image on it.
=======
Tried looking for my model and although there are some refs here and there I cant find a good NEWBIE GUIDE to do it.
Can someone please point me in the direction with a few links. I'm not being lazy, I spend over 20 hours searching the internet and cant find anything that doesn't leave me with some doubt or missing knowledge [assumed pre knowledge/familiarity].
Don't want to brick my phone, am out of work and can't afford to replace.
cheers all.

Hello and welcome to XDA Assist.
HERE is a very easy guide to root your phone.
Enjoy! Any further assistance, just ask in that linked thread
Good Luck and happy rooting!

[Completed] Bios Reset Wintel W8

G'day,
Ive been using this website for ages for everything i need, but now it's time to ask a question.
I recently bought a Wintel W8 mini PC Z3735F, and everything works great, it's actually not a bad little PC for media on the longeroom TV.
But of course, me being me, starting to mess around with it. Now i have no display, at all. I know exactly what i've done, i've swapped the display from within the BIOS from External to Internal (because from what ive seen this whole setup is more comanly found in phones, and tablets.
The question is, does anyone know how to reset the BIOS? or lead me through a blind button press to reset factory through the BIOS... i.e left once, down three, enter twice.... etc etc
Any help would be appreciated.

[Completed] Seandroid Enforcing issue

Okay so I hope I'm posting in a suitable area (I was debating to post here or in the Questions and Answers section). I don't usually use forums much but I try to be as respectful as I can as not to upset anyone or waste anybody's time. I'll put the important info in bold in case you don't want to read all the details. Getting to the point, I've looked several times on google and youtube but I never get a clear answer to this and I've watched dozens of youtube videos about the basics of rooting and what you should and are supposed to and not supposed to do however I still can't get an answer. I have a Samsung Galaxy Go Prime at least that's what all of my manuals say but after searching about rooting I've come to find that it's either closer related or the same as a more popular Samsung Galaxy Go phone. I've rooted it using the King Root app twice now because every time I turn the phone off it does the "seandroid enforcing" boot loop thing and both times I've restored the stock ROM, as I've heard it called, using Odin and used King Root to root it again. Now maybe I'm just an idiot but I don't think it should be doing that, or am I wrong, or am I doing something wrong?. I used to use an Iphone and I know that jailbreaking could be tethered and untethered, however I'm not sure if it is the same with android and rooting (or for that matter exactly what rooting does) as I have just recently switched. If anyone could find a youtube video explaining all of this too me that would be really helpful as all the ones I have come across while trying to find a solution are either really outdated or sharing knowledge about a particular type of phone. I will admit that I don't know very much about rooting because all sources I've tried to learn from either didn't explain anything or did not explain it well enough. The original intent for rooting my phone was to make use of my SD card, considering that the internal storage is only 8gb and the phone outright refuses to use my 32gb microSD for anything. I manually moved all of my files to my SD using the stock "My files" app on the phone and it didn't clear up much space. After rooting it I tried to use an app called "Link2SD" which unfortunately only moves part of an app to my SD and not the entire app, so if anyone knows a better solution to this problem as well that would be a great help. Thanks for any and all information and assistance, I really appreciate you and your time. :good:
