Finally, I kept wondering why XDA cannot be organised, and cannot adopt this system for all threads and stickies meaning all rules and XDA guides, should be here too, instead of being another sticky by another MOD. Thus the moment a guest or member clicks on this link or meant to pop up automatically the moment anyone visit this forum, they have it all.
References and guides and note worthy XDA articles can all be linked here . similar to the master guide you have already mentioned but including all the MOD's request , for every-time there is New MOD, I notice another sticky, all well meant and needed BUT can be placed in one sticky, is what I would think is a better organized forum. IMHO
And this thread should be managed by all MOD's instead of just one, who might retire or may be too busy with other tasks

Members, Please do not post in this thread unless you have a sticky request. Any off topic posts will be deleted immediately

If the title of my thread could be changed from 50 to 100, that'd be great.
Thanks.

[Completed] Kernel compatible with HTC One m7 (Sprint) running LiquidSmooth v3.2 (KitKat 4.4.4)

Is there a Kernel compatible with HTC One m7 (Sprint) running LiquidSmooth v3.2 (KitKat 4.4.4) that would allow for overclocking and wake gestures? Inquiring minds must know! Thanks!

Hi,
I see from your previous Assist thread on a similar topic that you know the rom thread. That would be a better place to ask for help with the rom.
Or look through the development section and check out the available kernels and their features and compatibility.
> Sprint HTC One > Sprint HTC One Android Development
Please understand also that XDA Assist is here to help members navigate the site and find the correct sections to post in. We're not here for support or advice. And you have found your device section.

So you should find things for your device there, or ask for help in its Q&A section when stuck . ?
Thank you for understanding.

[Completed] updating my phone

Hi everyone!
i'd like to uptate my phone to android kitkat if its possible i ve seen some videos on youtube but im a little bit sceptical about it , I have LG-P705 with the android 4.0.3.
btw I apologize if im posting on the wrong category

HI,
Yes, there are lots of options for you it looks like. This is the section for your device....
LG Optimus L3, L5, L7
See the development sections for ROMs for your device.
Are you rooted? You need to have a custom recovery to flash ROMs. If you are completely stock, you've never received an update?
Here is a great guide that covers a lot... Read up, the more you learn ahead of time... The easier and safer things will be..
> LG Optimus L3, L5, L7Optimus L3, L5, L7 General>[L7]P700/P705 Guide for Rooting,CWM install,ROMs,Baseband
You can ask for help regarding the things in the guide in that thread.
Other questions or issues should be asked in the Q&A section. (see my first link)
Good luck!

Thanks alot for the clarifications but i'm newbie and i don't really now the procedures i understand that i have to root the phone first then i don't know what to do ... could you wrap it up for me please.

XDA Assist is for helping navigate the site only.
That said...quick summary...
-unlock bootloader (or some equivalent exploit )
- flash custom recovery
- root... Or just flash custom rom, which likely is already rooted. (always read rom flashing instructions carefully)
It's all in the guide I linked.
There's other ways, but that's a whole other can of worms.
Further questions will have to be asked in the guide thread, or stay a new thread in your Q&A section. ?

No sorry. But you can just copy your original post to a new thread.
Again, read and read. The more you know, the smother life will be with this stuff. Going into things confused is a recipe for trouble.
You will find this advise will probably be repeated. It's on all us members to do the homework, and ask for clarification on things.... But getting walked through things can also lead to trouble if you misunderstand something, or the person helping you is just wrong. ?
Read the guide I linked. Read some of the replies... As they often have the same questions you do. Browse the general and Q&A sections and you'll find similar questions and info that you've been asking. Especially read the stickied threads at the top of the sections.
This hobby requires work, effort and time. ?
Again, good luck!

What you are trying to achieve with this thread is admirable, but the very first response gives an idea of the fundamental problem - people refuse to read/educate themselves.
Your thread clearly states its purpose and intentions, and gets ignored straight away. The second query is totally unrelated too and has already taken this off topic
Good luck with this, but i fear it will go downhill fast...

To expand on this:
1) Unlocking the bootloader is required for root; the process of unlocking the bootloader wipes the device.
2) There is a TWRP build for the G970F here. Flash in Odin, then install Magisk through TWRP.
