ur asking an awful lot from people. i can see however that you havent got the latest o2 update. go to http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft.html to update!
there is so much of this information on this forum that it isnt funny asking for it again.
I can see that you have only ever made 2 posts, so it would seem that your first forum is out of naivety rather than stupidity.
As such, here are some hints and a starting point for you. Please be aware, that there is quite a good search function if you take the time to look and can use the multiple fields to narrow down your search function.
You can also try the wiki ftp site if you just want some software and utilities to use. In the end though, you will find the best outcome and most stable device if you go and buy it.

Agreed, this has been posted a great many times, each trying to be the definitive post on all aspects of the Universal - something which I think is frankly impossible as no single post can cater for everything.
In the defence of somewhat overwhelmed newcomers, however, I do think it's time for x-d to be reorganised (how many times have we said this??) and broken down more specifically than just General, Upgrading and Accessories. There should also be beginners guides, for just this kind of thing.
@ brightming: the links provided above are a good starting point, read them all thoroughly!
Cheers

I've been (mostly) lurking here for a few months and I'd agree - it'd be fantastic to have 1) more specific/detailed forums under the Universal heading and 2) some well-written, clear guides for newcomers - particularly given the repetition and duplication of many subjects in different posts. An alternative place to have some good how-to type guides might be the wiki, especially considering that it appears to be underused at the moment. Any mods fancy tackling this?...

thx very much. it is so much help for me.
There's a couple things I'm noticing...
First: People post in the wrong places...
Yes I know that some people are just dumb and don't bother reading. But what's the difference between the Herald forum and the Herald Mobile 6 forum? I'm not sure I understand... Although I'm sure there's a sticky note somewhere explaining it all, but I just took a brief look and didn't find it. I think the forum should be redivided into 4 or 5 sections. Ideally it would have: Herald Tutorials, Herald ROM Development, Herald Question and Answers, and Herald Accessories... So that way it's kind of hard to miss where to post the question and answers, and where to find the exciting tutorials.
Second: A lot of these posts are out-dated.
The ROM reviews seems like it would be one of the coolest, but it's falling behind on some of the best and most recent ROMs. The CAB collection(s) hasn't been updated in a while... There's like 8 or 9 cab collections I think... I'm sure there's a better way of doing that and keeping on top of it. Perhaps we just need some more people who are willing to keep up on all of these updates and post them.
Now I understand this would probably be a ton of work to create these forums and then move the threads that are still fine, but I think it would help a lot. I'd be willing to help in the process... I'm not just here to complain and not do anything.
I've been interested in rehauling the Herald forums, but unfortunately, I'm not a mod and they're not taking mod applications at the moment...
The whole thing needs a whole overhaul.
Herald and Herald 6 are redudant. The stickies are innefficient. No one posts where they should. If I were to be a mod, I'd spend a few weeks cleaning the place up. Of course, the ROM review thread and CAB collections would have to be updated by the original owner or by someone who had the time to undergo testing all those ROMs and collecting all those cabs.
wiki?
another idea is to create a wiki. it should based upon mediawiki (used by wikipedia). there you can create create cab collections, tutorials and so on.
it would be possible to create a seperate page for every custom rom.
discussions could already be done here in the forum. in the forum could be special threads for the pages and there could a be a link from the article to the thread.
EDIT: if some is interested in doing that, i would help, of course.
There already is a wiki, look at the top of the screen. It's just that no one uses it. No one writes to it and no one reads it.
i know. don't ask my why, but i don't like this wiki, too.
it is difficult to read because of the design. it is confusing...

I agree it's a little... ugly.
But I think that aside from that, out of the few people who DO write on it, most of them don't really format the articles very well.

Yeah, but if the stylesheet is not .. well .. very good, formating the articles doesn't really help.
Yeah, these guys should really be using MediaWiki.
I can write whatever plugins are needed. I'm fairly handy when it comes to writing plugins. I ported DomPDF to MediaWiki as a means of being able to convert any Wiki article into PDF using only PHP.
i've saved a lot of informations i gained form the forum and the wiki in my personal wiki at home (separate wiki only for herald ). when i'm back at home, i will publish these informations in a new wiki and post it here. propably, we can show how comfortable mediawiki and the design is and then propably the admins will use mediawiki
Alright, I noticed something in the wiki that I think should be fixed. The Epic 4g page is horrendously out of date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700 So I figured this will help get the page organized and updated. ROM Developers Post your already existing ROMs, as well as kernel dependencies and the Samsung build (Such as: EC05) they were built off of. Please Include whether or not they are OC/UC capable as well as UV/OV capable. Kernel Developers, please post your kernel Name and a link to the thread containing your kernel. Include what builds they are compatible with (ex: EC05)
DON'T FORGET VERSION NUMBERS
Please keep it to ONE KERNEL or ONE ROM per post.
FOR EVERYONE WHO POSTS KERNELS OR ROMS
Include special features and version numbers. Post all versions, one by one, to help the developers!
As this is a wiki page, anyone can help out by starting to update the lists
Thanks for your help!
Reserved for ROMS
Reserved for (more) ROMs
reseved for Kernels
There's a post in general that had most of what you ate asking for I can't engender if out has the eh17 stuff our not though. I believe the user name that posted out was Mr. Timm.
I do appreciate the effort though.

If the rom developers wont update the wiki, why would they take the time to post here? You'd be better off looking through the forum and putting it in their yourself
Nice thread but I don't think developers will update this.
Developers want to start their own threads and monitor how much traffic their threads receive. I guess this can help them with their development careers.
Sooo....
This was meant to get everyone caught up. there are so freaking many great ROMs in the dev forum for the epic 4g. Lots of these need testing and such to speed the actual developers along. The problem is, only a handful of the up to date ROM's and kernels are located where people can just look and find them lined up (the wiki). And If we have to search to find a thread, to find all of the other threads, its not working very efficiently, cutting out what was meant to do that in the first place. If you want a look to see how ours SHOULD look, but hasnt been updated to, just check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
in comparison to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SPH-D700-Community_ROMs
I just personally think that we can do better than we are over here in the epic 4g section, and maybe with all the ROMs listed together, we might get some more collaboration as our devs look up their friendly competition. I am just trying to help out in the small ways.
There's a thread that was created recently that's similar to the one you are trying to create.

You think that using this info would help get this thread lit up? if people see what i have and try to complete my list? or is this hopeless. I REALLY wanna get this list expanded and maybe get all the stuff that is missing from ACS's Autoupdater filled in. because there is so much stuff missing. Which is reason number two for this thread.
---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------
on second thought, reading this post.... maybe I will Just beg ACS to start adding the stuff as downloadable in ACS.
Well in my opinion it's a lost cause. What would really help your thread if you included a review of each rom, kernel, theme, tweak, etc from well known testers (John Corleone). But that would be A LOT of work.
Umm. With the ACS updater a dev permission is needed for their work to be shared.
What XDA need is a working search button so when a subject relating to a topic is searched random ish is not brought up.
If you're trying to write an review for each Rom start a thread in the General section asking for a in depth review of Roms nd stuff on the wiki.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
okay, you people have missed the point by miles. I do want this to get done, and it doesn't have to be the ACTUAL dev. anyway. i am soon to quit, and just use the ERA list that got linked to, and i will TRY to start updating the wiki. Even though most of you did not help me what so freaking ever, you still get thanks. because i am just in that kind of mood.
Hey all.
I find myself wondering two things, and thought it best to post it here. Been lurking for some time, love it here.
My first question deals with all the ROMs that are posted here, it's possible questions like this already exists in another thread so please direct me there as my searches didn't turn up anything. For those of us who aren't tech savvy to the point of knowing every abbreviation, technical detail and such, and even for the sake of practicality, is it a good idea to require that developers post a few lines about what their ROM actually does and what sets it apart?
Some ROMs do this, others don't. ParanoidAndroid is the first that comes to mind here at the Note section, where the developers explain in detail what it actually does. Other ROMs, I find, take it for granted that people will understand what this rom does or is about, and so we have to look around or maybe visit their home page or even try it out before discovering if it suits our purposes. Any rules or regulations on this sort of thing already? There are plenty of ROMs here, and instead of flashing every single one it seems appropriate to be offered a short explanation instead-
Secondly, I just bought a Valentinus (by Spigen) case, and want to do a review - where do I post that?
Have a great weekend.
I agree with you !
I think that ROM Chefs should write a brief description on what makes their ROM differ from the rest, There are a lot of similar ROMs out there at the moment, Not that it bothers me as i like how the development is so big.
I usually read the threads and get peoples opinions before flashing, That gives me an insight on what to expect from that particular ROM, But as i just said, A little description wouldnt go a miss
Oh and as for your case review, That should be in the Accessories Section, Theres a thread all about cases in there, you may want to add it into that!
Greets.
I agree. A few lines should be plenty, a brief description so we don't have to go through the 50+ pages and scour thru user problems, queries and other trivial matters. When we have so many roms, it is essential to get an overview. One master thread, sort of like the huge review list they have over at head-fi, detailing contents and function.
Thanks for the tip on the reviews.
Cheers.
+1
A short description will do no harm to any
If the dev is busy, the dev should ask any of the community users sure there are a lot there to help,

We had a similar discussion in one of the threads. If you go to the note wiki page you can find the list of kernels and roms available and their features. Thou this is in its early stage,after updating that list it will be a lot helpful

Hi Guys,
Just a heads up that in November I'll be supporting the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on my site.
I'm making a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links page for all Samsung Galaxy Note 2 owners. Obviously most of the links or resources will link back to XDA Developers, but the intention is to have the most relevant Galaxy Note 2 owner or new owner info in one quick-to-access place, especially for noobs who don't yet know about XDA.
The HTC Desire HD ROM lists will continue to be updated, as quite a few people still access the site for those lists. I'm getting the Galaxy Note 2 in November, so I'm waiting until then to test and see everything work on the device for myself (as I've done with the Desire HD).
Not everyone knows about XDA, so it's nice to introduce people to here.
If you'd like to send me your ideas of essential info or shortcuts, feel free to do so, via PM here at XDA or via the site.
Cheers.
Isnt that why we have stickies? Why go to your site to only hqve to come here anyway?
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda premium
Yeah, that's right. For us regulars the stickies are easy to spot. For new people who don't know about XDA, they might appreciate a page with a few quick shortcuts to information. I think that's why the same people keep visiting the site to check the Desire HD rom list. It's a little quicker than searching through the development section.
I'm making it anyway. I love this stuff! :good:

This is all just a hobby for me, and so I went ahead and made a quick page here of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links.
As I mentioned before, it is primarily aimed at people who don't know about XDA yet (and therefore can't see the stickies - because they don't know XDA exists). Most of it links to XDA. I'll be adding other stuff and hopefully a few kind folk will recommend some other useful things which should be added, when I can get around to it.
I got my Galaxy Note 2 on release day here in Japan, on the 16th of November. I totally love it! :good:
If you think the page is worthy, please share it around on Facebook, Google+, Etc.
Just giving this thread a gentle nudge in case the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links page can interest other members too.
Thanks to those of you who have given positive feedback here and there.:good:
Thanks for the inclusion of the Lowyat.net forum.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2729179
A quick explanation about the "versions" you see on the main page. Due to some database performance constraints, the mods ask that each thread contain only about 2500 posts, after which the "topic starters (TS)" or OP in XDA parlance need to start a new version.
I've also placed grantbarker.com in post 5 as additional resources.
