[MOD]Law & Order

OK, there you have it.
Themes, Applications and Software!
You got the chance for a clean start, I suggest you keep it tidy and in order, otherwise it will become a complete mess like Diamond general!
MODERATORS will closely monitor activity in this sub forum!
Read the announcement and respect forum rules and thread naming templates!
It's all up to you!

I've removed about 6 stickies to clear up some room for the newer stuff.
I assume that if those sticky threads were strong enough, they would be kept on top by new posts.
cheers

On behalf of this forum

I went ahead PMed a mod so we could clean this place up. By now, you've probably noticed all the old stickies are gone. We now have Sticky Wikis -- yay. I already added all the original stickies into the the new sticky wikis.

Great job, I had also posted an open message in the General section ( a thread to ask open questions directly at mods). I added the section for kitchens, because although there's only one item, it is a very usefull one and kitchens will get busy as soon as we have the kernel. Great job community as I know lots of other people put in their request and contributed to the creation of this wiki

Only happy to help guys, its what this community is all about right?
As i said, any suggestions for future wiki pages, post in those two threads, im subscribed so i'll check in now and again.
See ya around

Massive props!

we need more stickie threads...

hey
do you guys think we could make a few more stickie threads so we can just fill up the entire front page with them? after that why dont we fill up page 2...
i havent gone through them all yet but it looks like theres even a stickie of a thread of all the stickies. did someone divide by zero or something?
can i get a mod to make this a stickie thread? thanks in advance...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hahahahaaaaaaaaaa
Although it is so mean from you, but i must admit that i had the same thoughts you had; but never the idea to do what you did just here!

I agree. why dont we make every thread a sticky?

Yeah the 100 stickies just suck. Plz make a subforum "for beginners" Or something...

The "Sticky Situation" is temporary. There will be roll-up threads created that will link to all of these stickies later. The fact that they are stickied now is just so that they don't get lost in the transition until they can be added to a roll-up thread.
In the mean time, this thread however is just going to lead to problems and so I'm gonna close it.

Hey guys, relax...the only reason there's a bunch of stickies at the front of every section is that while we were going through ALL the threads in the HD2 sections, we moved certain items to the top by stickying them, which we're going to roll up into a single consolidated thread, one for each section. It's just been the last thing on our list of tasks associated with the changes that have happened today.
That's all, I promise They'll all be out of sight and nice and tidy here very soon, in the meantime, please just bear with us, if you don't mind...

Need Thread Designers.

HI guys.
I am here to request help and to find people who are interested in thread designing to join this project of mine.
With an upcoming release, i believe that thread navigation should be elegant, simple and easy to read..
Thread navigation pictures, etc are already made. Just need help on the thread layout.
Any one interested to help with the thread layout, can either pm me or post here.
Regards,

Question Posting Questions in the Q&A Section

Hey guys, me again this time I'm going to show you how to POST QUESTIONS correctly in the Q&A forums. I've had enough of seeing others trying to help when the OP himself/herself doesn't want to help make solving their problem easier for others. So I urge everyone to follow this method of posting questions in the future.
1. Post a suitable, descriptive title.
- Posting a suitable title will give other experienced users an idea of what their up against. That way, they will know what may be the problem and the solution to that problem at first glance.
- A suitable format would be ; [Q] (Insert problem here) (Insert ROM name here and kernel name if possible). One more thing to note ; if your problem is solved, add a [SOLVED] at the beginning of your title. That way, others can use your thread as reference in case they have the same bugs. It's much easier than opening 200 different threads with the same problem. Like the XDA video says, "You are not special.."
- DO NOT : Post titles that go "Heeelllppp meee plzzzzzz" "Pllzzzzz help !!!11!!" "Urgenntt haalp !!". It makes me sick to see titles like these. Not only do they have nothing to do with the question, it's irritating to see this 5 year old style of creating titles. Don't get me started with the spelling.
2. Be descriptive
- This is another problem I see these days. Don't just write something like "Hellp i flashed xxx ROM and now the phone act wierd". That doesn't help anyone. Not the OP nor the people trying to help. Instead be as descriptive as possible. State the ROM you're on, what kernel you used, any mods of tweaks you added, what you have tried so far. This will narrow down the problem and solution. Also, be as clear as possible on what your problem is.
3. Reuse, reduce, recycle
- As with the 3R's, it not only helps the enviroment, but the forums as well.
Reuse - If you have another problem closely related to your first problem, I highly urge users to EDIT their OP. There's an Edit button. Make use of it, not open 20 threads linking to the same problem.
Reduce - Reduce the amount of threads opened for a certain bug, especially if the said bug is quite popular in our forum. For example, if ROM X has a bug with camera, we don't need 10 people making 10 threads asking the same thing, especially when it's a well known bug.
Recycle - Search the forums instead of opening a new thread every time. If you find a thread where the OP has a similar question as you, you are much obliged to revive that thread. again, be descriptive because the OP may have posted that thread a year ago and things change here, A LOT.
4. Comparisons
- Please refrain from posting questions like "Which is better ROM X or ROM Y ?". This is not a question to be solved. This is strictly forbidden by the mods themselves. This hurts the developer.
5. ETAs
- Never open questions asking when an update will come for your favourite ROM. This act is strictly forbidden in the original ROM thread (asking for ETAs). So what makes you think opening a thread in the Q&A is any different ?
6. What are considered questions, stay in the Q&A.
- I cannot stress this enough. PLEASE POST QUESTIONS IN THE Q&A SECTION. No not the General section. Nope, not the Android Development section and hell no, not in the Original Development. I can say the same for some of the others. Why post Guides in the Q&A section, like how to dual boot roms or how to unlock bootloaders ?
7. How to...?
- I discourage many from posting threads on how to develop ROMS, THEMES, KERNELS. Those are things people learn on XDA. No one can answer that in a thread. I already see ROM/Kernel compiling guides all over the X8 forums. Be prepared to get your hands dirty tho.
8. Search search search
Quote:
"Whatever your problem is, you aren't the first one to have it ! *whisper* It means the answer is already out there..." - Azrienoch in the Welcome to XDA video
As quoted, please search for your problem before starting a new thread. It saves a lot of space in an already cluttered Q&A section. It also feels really good knowing you solved your problem by yourself instead of causing more problems for others.
9. Be grateful
- Finally, be grateful for ANY answer you get, even if it didn't solve your problem. Keep in mind, these people (like me) could have just seen your problem and scrolled past by, but they didn't. They took time out of their lives to help you, a total stranger in another part of the world. The least you can do is hit Thanks for them.
