!!!!<<The Xda Search Culture>>!!!!

Hello fellows !!!!​
Here is + QUE PPC trying to give you some tools to enjoy this site even more!!!!​
Well… as you see, the forum XDA-Developers becomes even more and more bigger with every year that offers many many information! Making some posting on Off-Topic Forum I reed many people said_-_- “This is in CHAOS!!!!!” this web forum is a MAZE!!!!! And many other things that disappoint me!
But why? Because that kind of threads allows to be more chaotic the forum and so… is not in chaos just are many many… threads give and asking for info… everybody wants to be heard as usual and is natural! Obviously, and is the real truth! This becomes a little hard to find what we are looking for…
I am!!! Te ONE that begins the SIGN INFO THREAD! But nobody wants to follow the info there… (Well, many people already has his info wrote there and thanks for it…) many more people reeds my thread and thinks… OH ****!!!! Its truth…
We can get faster solutions if we all give the entire info of our devices on our signatures… but I can use that mini mini mini space to place my Thoughts! And what!!!!????? Is Fine!!! Many thoughts are good and full of knowledge phrases so… why I wouldn’t wrote my info and restore many time FIRST! Searching… then ASKING then… ANSWERING….
So the question is…. How many time can we spend on answer a question and give it on the right answer? Days???? Weeks?? For some people MINUTES OF REAL PAIN, can be released even more faster.
So we can do more to assist efficiently this kind of problems like a big City on construction becoming a Metropolis!
(I know I’m the one that blame, insult and speak too much, almost then obligates to search or READ… and I offer my apologize to everybody… Im sorry for that and for everything I said wrong… many senior ask me to help them with a guy that makes us mad! And I need sometimes Assist from others [Thanks Zabardast, Ather, Ashasaur and many many more]maybe im not the very right person to said this but I think we can reach a new SEARCH Culture before start a new thread).
So please this time use the search tab right at the upper level bar of this web site. (and so sorry my english is so bad!!! )
...To enable the advanced search tool for XDA developers...​
XDA-Developers advanced search plug-in for IE and Firefox
Thanks Noonski
Just click there and accept!!!! (see the picture)

The tutorial!
THE FIRST SEARCH TUTORIAL TO USE THE SEARCH TAB GOOGLE ENHANCED TOOL​
(Thanks Admins this is a great IDEA)​
First of all… We can have many many doubts but some words can be used by tags… like Downgrade… QVGA… HardSPL… Wizard… “the name of the application”… “.cab” etcetera.
So lets start searching for an application maybe a skin for Audio Manager????
Lets go to the tab!
I type: Audio Manager Skins Diamond QVGA
click on the search button then it goes to GOOGLE and shows answers in XDA and in many other pages other answers.
Obviousli number 1 not wastin time...
number 2... mmm maybe
and the circule number 3 maybe...
Lets try the one that say Kidnamed ALBERT user ok? NUMBER #3 BIGGER(note that arrows points to all answers to XDA developers)
Nice work and he got a zip and a cab! good work but....
I heard (read) somebody's called Poorlyduck that creates really good work... so repeat the steps and perform the search....
I type "Poorlyduck diamond skins" and this is what i got now... I already read before on the hacking and development but never see his thread and now i have a beautyfull skins!!!!
CONTINUES...--->>>>>

<<<<<------continuing
So this is what I have now...
We all thinks that simple explains are for idiots so dont feel like those idiots and please perform a search before starta a new thread maybe your question is already answered... and if you have a question ABOUT SEARCH!!!!! make it her we are all happy to help contributing even more.
Your friend + QUE PPC

Well,although,for some your attitude might be pinching,but I personally have always enjoyed your lightheaded humour and appreciated your way of helping the community.
YUP! no doubt,'SEARCH' is the best option,as the forum has grown enormous over the time and the 'SEARCH' option really sometimes works wonders,only if you enter or put the query correctly.It cud be very beneficial and helpful,I still,after so much extensive reading,utilize it fully,when I have to know something.
Its your Best friend,when you need one
Thats my vote for it,count it!
Read my sigy :-
"Anything you still can't cope with is,therefore,your own problem.

Hey you didn't mention the True Hardcore XDA method!
Install the Plugin in my Signature

You are RIGHT!!!!
Im so sorry Noonski I will update the first post... thanks can I use your sigy????? I remember that the first time you come here I saw your sigy and install that and men I dont kew how to use it remember? hahahaha what a n000000000000b!!!!!
How can I forgot the most important?????
Ciao and Thanks!
Edit......
Updated the first post.

I AM NOT WHINING!
I am simply asking you guys a question and if you can't answer in a normal and polite fashion then maybe you should ask your mom if she could have paid more money for you to get a proper education.
You don't have to be so rude to me, you probably don't even know me.
I don't think I give this forum a bad name, I've made lots of skins in the past and I helped a lot of people with troubleshooting.. I don't ask dumb questions, I use google. etc.etc. Please don't blame me for thing I did not do.
I'm not asking for money, I'm just trying to figure out how much people want this. The poll doesn't mean that if nobody wants to donate I won't release it.
I'll also release the skin if lot's of people let me know that they want it. (with a comment, a answer in the poll or maybe even a small donation)
Ugh.. I think that if all developers would answer like you do, nobody would come to xda.
e.g.
Q(leecher): Thanks for the great skin but I'd love to see this button skinned also, could you?
A(developer): Well who do we have here? Mister: I-Can't-Do-Anything-Myself, please stop whining, I'll skin that button whenever I want to!
Not so kind huh?
Have you even read my threads? I'm not the worst guy you know.
So who wants a skin?

well, I wanted the theme when i first saw it, but after I read your post I changed my mind...
"I want to know how many people are willing to give something in return for this? I timed my work this time and it has been well over 20 hours of work."
you want money...thats it, and I dont like greedy people

Nah I don't!
Please please, don't think of me like that. I'd love to see some money yes, true.
But don't we all? It's not the reason for me to hold this back from the community.
The point is that I want some more appreciation.
Not a thousand downloads and 40 thank you messages.
I don't think I'm the only developer who thinks like this.

Paul, do read what i posted in your minimal phonecanvas thread.
No one in xda-devs is to ask for donations. We give for free, or not at all.
if people decide to donate, they're more than welcome.
We here, SHARE skills and knowledge.
about thank yous and appreciation. people appreciate even without writing thank you.
if your problem is appreciation and you feel that your work is not well credited, you can debate over it in the General section.
and just to make thigns clear. the fact that so many people are using your skins should prove that your work is HIGHLY appreciated.
Please, either release your skin, or let me know so i can delete this thread so that no further argument will be held over this issue.
Thank you

Yes I will release the skin, not this evening I think. I have to go now, but maybe tonight and otherwise tomorrow.
Still I'd like to point out that I'm not asking for donation.
I'm asking for more appreciation.

appreciation is rewarded automatically, not asked for.
If you can honestly tell me that you have given to xda more than you've gotten from it (knowledge, skills, skins, applications), I am willing to eat my hat.

No can't tell you that.
And I love xda, everybody helps each other out.
The thing that bugs me are all those users who keep on leeching and never say thanks or do something back for the community.
Well, sorry to make a big deal out of this. Never wanted to but it just doesn't feel right the way things go lately here on xda.
I'm off, bye.

users who show no appreciation will bring trouble over themselves, trust me.
Trust that you are appreciated. I love your work. look at your minimal dialer thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395086
many many others love it too.
leech every little bit of info and apps and skins you can from xda-devs.. and give what you can in return.
that's what makes us xda-devs

nice work please keep working on it, hope you make a *.theme not a *.zip

They are essentially the same thing
@Paul:
Your work looks great once again. Your minimalistic styling plays very well with TF3D if I may say so. Looking forward to a release.

He Paul, nice theme. But is the SMS "batsen with Nynke" not something what has to do with sex? It's a very nice word in't "gronings"
Good luck!

Well aren't jokes allowed. And she's my girlfriend so.. you do the math.
Packing it all up in a theme file.
Is it true that it only has to consist of the filles I've changed?

very nice theme..great work pauldgroot..maybe you could also do one for the touch pro with landscape..once again nice work

There you go, it's released into the wild.
-anyone know how to remove the poll?-

WOW! I am going to try this out right now
I have two suggestion thought
It would be nice if you could add and customize call history and comm manager tabs
Maybe a matching landscape theme
other than that it's perfect
Thanks, for your hard work

I don't think advertising links to other forums is allowed on XDA. I don't like the idea of it either, it's as if you're trying to recruit people away from here.
Whatever you've got up there, I'm sure XDA has it, or better. If not, google sure does.

XDA is the place to be.

Why do we need to register and log in? We don't like doing that. It's inconvenient and possibly a loss of precious time.

XDA > that place.

Doesn't facebook allow discussion boards? I'm sorry but I am really too lazy to check 2+ places for the same information which I can read about on here.
LOL Alright I think I'll make that a place to share my lesser creativity

by the looks of that forum i didn't know we were going back to the early 2000's style of web design

I'll stick with XDA.. =)

Wow you guys are harsh! lol xda is a relay cool site but im not to keen on the way it looks.
What im trying to do is make one big massive list of links to everything I have found for the x1. And im hoping other members will contribute what I haven't found.
I relay like the black and lime green skin but other members have complained so il make another skin and give the option to change it in the near future.
There are links to xda on my site so advertising works both ways? I hope I havnt upset any of the staff and I apologise if i have.
Iv never done anything like this before I just woke up one morning and decided to make a site lol I havnt a clue what im doing but im a fast learner. Im hopeing the site will work. thanks for your feedback.

Face Book dose allow discussion boards but I was limited to what I could do... links looked messy, and to add links to the page I had to enter them into a text box that was smaller than my x1 screen. It was a pain in the bum. pluss now we have extra features such as a spell checker, the ability to upload pics, signatures and avators and so on...........
Thanks for your contributions to the site Deechan

maybe provide the information in the threads free? I wont register when i dont know whats in there
maybe downloads only for members but viewing of threads should be free

The site is 100% totally FREE to use I'm not making any M0nny from this whatsoever. There are no downloads on the site I'm just helping people find where the downloads are.
You must become a member to view the forums coz I want site users to GIVE and take. Use our useful links and submit links for others to use

Post Removed The games that were here can still be found on the proboards site

I would remove that
These are Warez.
But my idea was to keep the threads free for all.... to read
and if someone try to follow a link he have to register...
would be more teasing than this "crappy" (sry ) design

Sorry what are Warez? crappy design? I like the skin lol. But there are more than a few that dont. I intend to make an alternative skin when im next off work.

To be honest, I think the idea of a whole board dedicated to the Xperia is a nice idea. XDA is great, dont get me wrong, but it's just not quite as specialized. I've seen topics and questions that get replies like "Oh, I had that problem on my HTC diamond" or "I did this on my other smart phone". So I suppose it's not always relevant or helpful, despite good intentions.
Give the guy a break, eh? I'm sure none of you all would find it very pleasant if you posted something you thought was interesting or helpful, and a bunch of people replied with nasty comments or called it spam.

Adventures of Andy the Android

Hi all,
Here is a small project that I posted in Android General. Just wanted to share with you guys. I think it is a great idea and it'll be a lot of fun! Take a look!
= = =
= = =
Hi all.
Mods, please move this thread to a more appropriate place if needed.
My name is Kevin, or aka DarkOnion. Many of you guys in the general Android community probably won't know me, but for those in the Droid X and Droid 2 community related the name DarkOnion to the scripts used to root the Droid 2 on Froyo and then the Droid X when 2.2 was made available. Anyways, that is not why I am here today. I just wanted to share an experiment that I am planning to start in the very near future.
It is kind of a social experiment of sorts. What I would like to do is send an Andy the Android plushy around and have people take pics of him doing cool things. Really anything you think would be cool. Trying to get the ball rolling. I got a website going, and I'll be setting up a blog in the near future to keep track of Andy's movements.
Please check out my blog and webpage for more info about how I want to do this. It'll be a lot of fun.

Input? Feedback? No one has any thoughts on this?

A way to request Andy would be a nice addition
Although this does kinda go against what your website says :/

I don't mind about the request part. I just don't like the idea of mailing him. Especially across country. He just sits in a box for 5-7 days... But you certainly can request for him!

Bumpers?? No one thinks this is a cool idea?

I like it but it seems like something that's going to be difficult to get started. Once it catches on it will be easy

Well, I already ordered the two plushies. As long as everyone likes the idea, then it is all good. I hope everyone makes the time to read the blog when I get it up.

Bumpers. I can't wait to get the plushies and get them out and about!

bookmarked! gonna keep an eye on this one.

Look, it is the guy that stole my code!! JKJK. What's up dude? Yeah, this project is going to be super fun. I should see those guys in my mailbox pretty soon.
Dude, I got a great story. I got a friend who was like... why are you writing a root program, there is one that already exists. And I was like "What?!" I didn't know about it. And then he gives me a link to your program. And I looked at it, and sent an image back to him with a screen shot of your program with my name circled and was like... hey dude... you know that DarkOnion and I are the same right?

Bumpers. No Andy's in the mail today.

Bumpers. No Andy again today. probably see him next week some time.

Cool idea, but what if a secret Apple guy steals Andy and does (insert unimaginable thing) to him?

Sure. You see the donate button next to my name. Do that!
Hehe. Sure you can, I think I'll be starting a waiting list. I do prefer hand-off's as opposed to mailing, but if someone gets stuck, we can have them mailed to a new person.
BTW. Andy's are here. Check them out.

Andy is in Davis, CA!!
See the post here:

I would like to get a list going on people interested in hosting an Andy. Please PM me or... email me at darkonion (a) kimete.com.
I would like to hit most of the states before the end of the year!

I have gotten quite sick of all the stupid derailments in the forums lately. Why is it necessary to start off talking about bugs in the latest ***** ROM, and somehow end up talking about how poster #56 is a slimy d-nozzler that has no place talking about zebra pigmentation. I understand that everyone has incredibly hilarious wit, and a need to share it. All i ask is that you think before you post. Everyone is *****ing about this problem for a reason. its not a joke anymore. one post is helpful, the next 26 pages are full or bumtards arguing about whos e-member is bigger.
no need to answer to this, as there is nothing to respond to. just read this, laugh about the truth, and learn.

First!
Sorry iSaint.

This thread is a nice treat. Anyone have info about ciq?

by the way, im not trying to sound like i care that deeply, it's just very aggravating trying to learn something, and all i see is useless sh!t that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. maybe im just not understanding something, but im pretty sure im not the only one thats kind of irked at the level of trolling

i agree 100% (and im quite glad someone likes workaholics too) but thats why everyone has the ability to make new threads. if im talking about the popular ciq issue, why would someone ask for the reason their mms isnt working in the same thread? thats all im saying. im not trying to be some asshole that is against the fun and betterment of the group. Devs get the most work done while having fun, no doubt. but stpid people posting stupid things non stop is whats hurting the epic community so much
