Hi all.
Here's my latest... and another... guide on helping the average person choose an Android phone. Please feel free to share with friends and noobs and what not. Still a work in progress, but hopefully, I'll have it cleaned up in the next few days. Still a lot of grammar and structure things.
Enjoy!

I also thought it was a good article. I used similar criteria when I considered upgrading my phone, although that was with the droid 1. I was upgraded to a refurbished droid 2 recently which made me happy being as its so much faster and had lots more memory.....

Thanks for the compliments!
Just curious as to what everyone is using so far, and why they like it. Maybe a centralized inquiry of user thoughts will help out the devs, as well as other users when deciding what rom to choose.
What features do you really enjoy on the ROM you are using now? What do you wish to see? Any major deal breakers on other ROMs that stopped you from choosing it?
This is the DEv forum. It is not for Questions and answers or polls. This needs to be in the Q&A forum.
Wow this is turning into a **** show around here

Moderators badly need to start deleting these threads, instead of just locking them.

But where to go for carrier specific things that aren't development? That's why this is happening.

No it's not. These can best posted in the Q/A forum with [Insert carrier here] at the begining of the thread title.

No, users need to hit the report button and at least this moderator will not only move them, but lock them, because they're useless. Best ROM threads are closed, as is this one.
Hi guys, as the title says I'm looking for a broken Nexus to swap the mainboards. Mine turns on but it doesn't have IMEI an can't find a way to fix it. Anyone that has one would appreciate if you let me know. Thanks.
People will be glad to help if u post in the tight section.

Don't know if it's me or browser but i can't see Want to Buy section anywhere. Link please.
You also have to be a member at least a year to see it
Edit: Marketplace Changes - UPDATED MARCH 10
Starting tonight, we will be implementing the rules detailed in our previous announcement (below) with a few modifications:
1. You may sell 5 devices per month instead of 2 (each device must be in a new thread).
2. All current registered members will be able to use the marketplace regardless of tenure on the site or number of posts. New members will NOT be able to use the marketplace until they accrue 50 posts and one year of XDA membership.
--=-=-=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
We allow people to buy and sell in our XDA Marketplace forum. We realize that this is a great service to many, as it enables trading and selling of devices so that our members can always try to have the latest and greatest mobile devices.
Historically, we have taken a hands-off approach to the Marketplace, as our primary focus was to keep the XDA forums clean to enable the best environment possible for development. To avoid scams, we installed a feedback system last year that made users accountable. But, that hasn't been enough.
Effective 10 March, we will be placing tight new restrictions on the Marketplace to further avoid dishonest conduct. The following will be in effect for anyone to post in both the Wanting to Buy and Wanting to Sell forums:
1. You must have 50 posts
2. You must be a member of XDA for at least one year
3. If you are selling, you must take a photo of the phone with XDA as a backdrop on your screen with your username showing
4. If you are selling, you may only sell two devices per month, and each listing must be contained with its own thread
Also remember that transactions shall not take place via PM and that anything other than vital information (member information such as address, etc) for payment and shipping purposes, should be stated within the thread.

Sorry if I have broken any rules. And if I did it was because I didn't know of the existence of this section and that you had to comply with the rules already stated. But let me add that I might just have 100+ post, a minuscule count compare to most here, but you can verify that most of them have been to try to help members in some way or another and in a respectful manner. I know that this is a great community but some members need to chill and take things less serious at times. So please go ahead an delete the thread if it's your ultimate decision. And thanks.
That rule should not apply to this guy because he has been a member since last year...
Can you not see this forum?

Contact a Mod, you should be able to access that forum, that rule went into effect for NEW members, it was not retro-active.
OK will do.

I do not know if I missed something essential but I really would appreciate if the admins of S3 I9300 would split the developer thread into two threads. One which hold all the ROMS and another that hold all the MODS, KERNEL, ETC.
As the thread grows its getting more and more cluttered. Sometimes I just like to brows through the ROMS and try some of them out and sometimes when I am satisfied with the current ROM I would like to gather some random mods.
A question: Does anyone know how to mod the CM10.1 so that I get more reboot options and more importantly the option to shut down apps by holding the back button?

A chaotic post...
All forums on XDA are similarly ordered, to not be chaotic. Just read the description of each subgroup, to find what is where. It's pretty self explanatory really. Also read the stickies that lists and links to popular ROM, kernels, themes etc.
Best asking in a CM thread, for CM related questions.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Vote chaos......but then I would... I'm an anarchist!
Why not just search threads for [ROM] or [MOD]???
CM has hidden the reboot options toggle in the dev settings. Higher security and all that.

I do see what he means, for example the XDA app search is terrible you can only search they entire board not specific forums which makes looking for something on your phone a nightmare.

Chaos vs Order
@OP:
I think that mods of XDA could have time for such request, if users would not create mess elsewhere, for example, by asking questions in General section.

Wow. £2 is nothing for such a quality app as Tapatalk. Really, a bottle of Coke costs more.
And unlike a bottle of Coke, Tapatalk lasts a lifetime..
I'm not sure political debates are allowed on XDA

The only forum that is on tapatalk I use right now is XDA, the XDA app is based on Tapatalk anyway so it's technically just as good, the only reason Tapatalk will be better is because it supports more forums.

Because I'm interested in professional way:
a person who claims the chaos, while creating it by himself.
Well, I normally would count for 120 pounds per hour for session of patient with schizophrenia, but will make discount for you.
