I think he was trying to develop his ability to take criticism so lets help him out...
Why is this post in developing? You aren't developing anything for our phones!
Wow thanks for being an understanding community. I posted it here because I thought the OP of the thread I saw awhile back would see it quicker in the dev thread.
Also, how do you know I'm not planning on developing something for the epic?
No wonder the epic community is mostly dead apart from a couple devs... so many ungreatful and unhelpful jerks.
Thanks to the first reply with the link!

That's the sad truth right now- and what most of the new members think. But try posting in the questions and answers Thread (stickied)- I usually have success in there. Or try the IRC (chat) channel (I think stickied) for quick answers.

K..that's not helping Once we (they) have the 2.2 source, I guarantee you'll be eating up the custom roms/kernels.. as will I. But for now, we're all anxious and pms-y.

Rules are rules bud. We're just trying to keep things organized
I understand rules fine... but I understand courtesy even better.
There was logic behind my reason for posting here that I hoped the community would understand... if a mod reads this just move the thread.

Keep in mind, I'm pretty sure that's based on 2.1. If on 2.2, my best advice is to not remove the drm apks. (It does caution about media issues, which it def causes on 2.2).

Basically, a .RAR file is similar to a zip file - it's usually used either to compress a file so that it's a smaller download, and/or to pack multiple files into a single file.
The part that's more confusing to most people is Windows (or Mac, for that matter) has no built-in support for RAR files. For Windows, the solution I like is something called Peazip - it's a free download. For the Mac, Stuffit Expander will do the job (also a free download for just the Expander). Both can be found easily by googling them - I haven't posted enough times yet to be able to give the direct address for them.
Hope that helps.
When you start the thread, "hope I don't get flamed.." it shows you already know that you have a high chance of getting flamed ha if not by me someone else would have done it, and you hate that so why post? And you said you don't know what to do with the .rar, how about use odin and flash it, lol, it not like a developer going to be like " OMG didn't know where this was been looking everywhere for it!" When it already in the general forum

The disclaimer was because I was posting a link and not the actual rom. I have seen many people post a tar for a stock rom. I posted a link to a stock rom and that was the difference.

Change thread title to - [STOCK ROM] EF02 - and we all be happy.
A thread for all stock builds or one thread for every stock build should be here IMO.
Guys these threads are packed with useless bickering as it is, lets just try and stay on topic guys
now, as for this EF02, you guys think there'll be a rooted/custom version available by the end of today? Some ppl who have flashed this already say its really smooth, the only problem is thats its stock, so flashing it will rewrite our recovery image and break our CWM/current root I'm tempted to flash it, but then again, i dnt want to lose my SRF 1.1.1 without being able to restore back. so i'll wait

I disagree. One of the things that makes this forum so helpful overall is its heavy policing.
Other forums are a disorganized wild west, and you can't find anything without 5 minutes of sorting the good from the crap.
Was it warranted here? Maybe. Maybe not. As a general approach being nit-pickey douches about what goes where does help though. Few people do it twice.

So next time someone comes across a new leak they shouldn't post it until they customize it? No, I'm not buying in to that. And just because it is in the General section does not mean that it shouldn't be here as well. So.. without further turning this forum into a "disorganized wild west" (sometimes the police even need policing) how about we get past the forum etiquette discussion and move on to EF02.

Rooting with 2.3.4
How to: Not from me but from another site. Just getting the info out.
You did not have to be rooted or have S-Off To do this. If you had it rooted and your S is off you have less steps to do. (How to check if your S is on or off is pull your battery on your phone and press the power and volume down button at the same time. HBOOT should pop up and at the top it will tell you if your S is on or off. [most people rooted before have their S off])
Hope This Helps All Of You!,

I've been running the rom for the last 24+ hours. I'm really impressed with how stable it has been. It has some issues mainly dealing with the gallary/camera and setting photos as things etc. but still, for it's alpha stage it's not bad.
I applied the car-o-dope settings and it seemed to calm it down a bit also. These roms should get real fun here soon!

Agreed and the battery life is outstanding. The gallery seems to settle down after a while, but I've been using Quickpic as a picture gallery and makes setting wallpaper and cropping much easier...it works well with ICS and I've gotten no fc's using it. Its free in the market and is a great alternative to stock gallery

You don't have to be a twitter fan, it takes 2 seconds to create an account and search who you want to follow, and check it periodically...keep it as an app on your phone so you don't have to keep signing in all the time. I recommend following @kushdeck as well because he posts test builds not available on XDA also, actually he just posted his alpha 4 build with working camera a little bit ago...

Except noobs flash ROMs and ask repetitive questions all of the time.. Why should we care if someone foolishly flashes a ROM they know nothing about? In any of the other threads, users ask questions which are 9 times out of 10 answered by other users, rather than the devs themselves.

So we couldn't have a thread with a link in it in the development section because the OP wasn't qualified to answer questions, so you open a thread that serves the same exact purpose WITHOUT a link to the ROM?

You call him an A-hole for posting a thread in hopes of clearing clutter from other threads, and I'M the troll?
The thread was perfectly at home there. It is a ROM in active development made by a dev who no longer posts here; but he has no problem with his work being posted alongside proper credit. The OP posted it to give room for development conversation.
There are multiple threads set up like this.. the CM threads, for example. After being posted, the poster usually never comes back and all questions and concerns are answered by users like us.
Posting that thread in the development section gave room for people who create mods to share their work, as well as to discuss different ideas regarding the fixing of certain bugs.

I wouldn't recommend an ics rom yet unless you have no need for a camera our video camera. I don't believe flash is working right either. I may be wrong about that though. I would suggest unity, Cm7, our miui for rooms to try out until a solid release of ics is available.

This forum is a resource, not a help line..you don't call up the folks at wikipedia and go "quick, i have a report due, tell me what happened in ww2!"
They did the research to help narrow your information search to a single forum, the last you can do is understand that unless you are developing new applications or roms or working on a brand new device that your question has already been asked and the onus is on you to actually read the encyclopedia and to write your own report..no one is going to write your report for you, especially not the editors of the encyclopedia..it is gracious that some of these questions even get replies, even if they are flaming you for asking without searching..imo fwiw

Yes, but not for the same questions to be posted and answered over aand over. Cluttering the forum. That's what the search functions is there for. For when you have already exhausted all your search resources and found nothing, then you ask for help.

At least SAY 'I've looked everywhere! Can you point me to an answer for...' Even if you haven't looked, at least pretend to know how to use a search bar..these things have been around for over a decade lmao you might get help for a dumb question and not get flamed if you at least lie and say you searched
Also, no one likes dumb people or dumb questions, it isn't a trait unique to developers on xda, even though I've encountered my share of smart asses, the fount of knowledge here far exceeds any petty squabble i might get into..if something like that makes you leave the site then it's more your loss than xda's, you are really only useful to the community if you can debug or develop, they are doing us a favor by letting us muggles into their world of fairy dust and unicorns lmao
