Hello folks, my name is conantroutman and I'll be your forum moderator this evening...
Some of you may have noticed that Mr. Clown has been promoted to Senior Moderator, I am here to replace him.
I know I've got some big shoes to fill (pun intended). Clown shoes..... get it?....nevermind.. but I will try to keep on top of things and make sure the forums stay as tidy and organised as possible.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve this little section of XDA then just drop me a PM or leave a post in this thread and I'll see what I can do.
Should you encounter any issues that require moderation then don't hesitate to drop me a PM. Serious issues should be reported using the "Report Post" button at the top right of each post, minor issues (misplaced/duplicate threads, spam etc etc..) should just be reported directly to me via PM.
Enjoy...
Oh yeah, heres a little reminder of the forum rules.......
Forum & Marketplace Rules
FORUM RULES
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.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 New Members: Treat new members the way you would have liked to have been treated when you were a new member. Provide the new members with guidance, advice and instruction always with respect and courtesy.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intent on selling something.
As an elaboration to rule number 7, don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. If you are the proprietor of a for-pay product or service, you may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or offer support on the product, but you may not make any posts with the primary intent of selling. This includes posting press releases, announcements, or links to downloads for trial software. The only exception to this is when you’re posting an exclusive release to XDA.
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
Welcome!
I hope you're the aggressive type.

My mistake Cairo. Apparently it is ok to advertise your marketplace. I am sorry for calling you a dirtbag, and I hope you prosper from the hard work of others.

Apparently that avatar he posted is piracy... Please re-read the rules (the part about being respectful) http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 .
I personally view this post as a Flaming (2.3), Personal Attack(2.4) with questionable language(2.1) that doesn't show any courtesy(2.5) to other members and shows that you obviously haven't read and aren't capable of following the rules of the forum (2.6). That's all the rules regarding conduct except nudity, who would you infract? If you have a problem with a post/thread report it rather than getting yourself into trouble. Consider this a friendly warning since the OP decided not to report your post.

Umm, I was talking about the app he is spamming about. He has another post in the general forum about it. CairoMarketplace is an applanet style app that offers paid apps for free. Is that not piracy?
And I have reported both of his posts and yet they still sit on our general forum.

Exactly, you reported another thread and came over here to start a flame war in this one too? Guy posted an avatar for people, how is that warez or advertising, it says XDA on it not Cairo anything. Yes, I agree that CairoMarket is warez and it's been being discussed but that doesn't mean you should search the users name, post a snide response in every thread he ever created and report every thread he ever created regardless if it doesn't even violate the rules here on xda. Again, stalking users, creating drama, flame wars etc = no no. You reported it, report received, let the mods take care of it because all this childish behaviour will do is get you in trouble too. Please keep this in mind.
Regards,
Will

Tyvm for your cooperation in this matter, again mods are and will be looking at this market place app as I totally agree it is warez. Just saying the proper channels are there for a reason.

Do you have the I727?
All the reg trolls just bashed this one eh? Lol
For the op, as stated u need an i727 aka skyrocket to flash roms in this section. My guess is u flash our roms on an original Samsung galaxy s2, which is unfortunately for u, a very different phone. My guess is u bricked it, which basically means U can't fix it, you either have to send it out for repair or warranty it.
Wait I loved my Droid x roms u mean I can't flash that.... they both run Android I don't get it????????????????

I agree that you should search for help before posting.
But this Guy just paid the ultimate price for being careless ....he borked his phone!
I can't believe some of these comments. Xda (at least for me) has always been a caring & helpful Community of folks who HELP and SHARE.
Is this the image y'all really wanna project? Did y'all lose track of what we're all about? Or will you flame me too?

After reading that again it is a good reminder, I guess the 99999 posts on people flashing s2 regular ROMs on the skyrocket and bricking finally got to me.

Goo one, D.O.C. !!!! You are always on the ball! Yes, a little bit of tolerance for newbies is good for xda. Or we will push newbies away from the forum, and XDA will suffer ultimately.
In the case of the OP, I would agree that he's pretty much smoked. I would encourage people like him to ask BEFORE flashing. All these ROMs seem so enticing, like Eve's appae, but they are time bombs if you do not know what you're doing...
My 2 cents.......

Thread cleaned.
Treat ALL members with respect at ALL times.

Bud, it isn't 'trolling' to point out that you are supposed to try to find the answers and solve your issues yourself before posting.
This is a long-standing principle on XDA - which unfortunately for some reason seems to be getting lost on new members - and for a 'senior member' like yourself, you should know better.
You could have easily answered your own question - but instead you posted, unnecessarily cluttering the thread. And, on top of that, you are hardly in a position to accuse anyone of being condescending or trolling based on your last reply.

*Sigh* This is what XDA has become, apparently - a place for people to post basic questions like this instead of just figuring things out themselves, or Googling the answer...

Affirmative, XDA has become a place where everybody, even noobs, get support by others - that's the spirit of XDA besides that XDA still remains a platform by developers for developers. Are you a developer? I see you're a long time member, something that is highly appreciated, and I hope you continue to stay for many years.
Certainly, we require our members to first search prior to posting but even I get so many pop-ups after a search that are confusing that I just tolorate any serious post and question. Doesn't now more than 11 million registered members prove that this is the right way?
I hope we, you and all can find a compromise and agree: If you don't like a post, simply ignore it unless the post violates the rules but in such a case only report the post without any reply and comment and let us do our "job". Consider to add the author of the post to your ignore list. Accept that it's the threadowner's privilege to assess if a post is cluttering his thread or has to be removed as off-topic.
Thanks for listening to me and your cooperation!

Hello everybody, I just bought my Galaxy Watch 4 but I am very jealous of Toy Story Apple's watchfaces so I created mine downloading these videos and converting them into gifs.
I use them together so they change every time you tap or unlock the screen.
Hope you like them.
You can find the original video and others two here: https://www.youtube.com/user/toystorysvideos/videos
hi, one made by myself...
Other faces I am using:
another one...
