Step 1 - Remind yourself that nothing anyone does on the forum besides the devs and the mods really matters.
Step 2 - When someone decides to create a thread to host their nightly builds of a new ROM for you to enjoy, don't criticize them for opening the thread before the ROM is ready. Doing this makes you an incredible asshole.
Step 3 - You can learn more from the devs and mods other than how to program. For instance, they have a sense of humor. All of you, apparently, do not.
Step 4 - People make mistakes. Jumping on them for doing this puts you under scrutiny. Be ready to have a spotless record...wait! You don't! "Hi pot, I'm kettle! You're black! Dur-ha!" (This is what you sound like, to me.)
Step 5 - Should the previous steps not have solved the problem of you being an uptight waste of carbon, I sometimes recommend the use of illegal narcotics. If nothing else has helped and you're still a complaining asshole, try this:
a) Purchase 1/8th oz high grade marijuana.
b) Take a portion of the marijuana and remove the pointy stems.
c) Roll the marijuana into a Zig Zag brand rolling paper.
d) Ignite the now rolled marijuana cigarette or "joint"*.
e) Inhale the smoke and hold it in a bit.
f) Repeat until the joint burns your fingertip.
h) Play your favorite LP. I Personally recommend anything Beatles, Meat Puppets, Beach Boys, or Built to Spill. Should you have ****ty taste in music, Legend by Bob Marley will probably be in your collection. That'll do for now.
i) Repeat a - h until all traces of knowitall assholism have been cleansed from your system.
The mods and devs are always super cool and give you guys free software ALL THE TIME! How can you get so annoyed by small deviations from forum policy? Relax, idiots. Lay off the n00bs and the devs. Try some politeness or some humor. it would seem that many people here in the know lack both. Shame on you for treating life too seriously. Especially life on the internet.
I realize that I am also here complaining. Feel free to point out what a hypocrite I am. I'll ponder the paradoxical idiocy of my words as I read a book, perform comedy for money, ride my bike so as not to turn into a bloated internet jerk, and make love to a woman.
Anyone interested in seeing first hand how to deal with people with less knowledge than you should sit in on a kindergarten class for a couple days. Take note of how the teacher doesn't berate or ridicule the students for lacking the knowledge that s/he has. It should be a fascinating and largely unknown concept to many of you.

How about people just stop creating new threads so damn often? We don't need a thread created to mention that some dev nobody cares about is beginning to consider working on a stupid port nobody wants. Post it in the ROM Bible thread or blast it out on Twitter to your four followers.

Step one, learn to post in the proper forum. Step 2, brick your phone so you can't post here anymore. Step 3, quit feeding something that you know nothing of.
When someone comes on and says they are creating 2.2 blur and there isn't a 2.2 blur ANYWHERE, think about it. Quit being a moron.

These 2 gentlemen have the right idea.
Development is an "act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining"
I don't see "asking questions answered dozens of times previously" or "saying oneself is creating a ROM based on source material that doesn't exist"
/thread
Wow. The main point of all of this was to somewhat humorously invoke some kindness in dealing with annoying people. I see that some are amused and some are not. Posting to development was part of the joke.
Obviously, it's not awesome to start a thread in the wrong section but IT'S NOT WORTH BLOWING UP OVER. Also, wishing me harm, banishment, bricked phone, etc is silly. RELAX.

I lol'd pretty damn hard.
thanks i had a good laugh i came here from another forum and it seems everyone is out to hate on each other
naw... no one hates anyone... people are just bored... and in an attempt to get someone to agree with his methodology he made himself look like more of an ass..
i say close the thread, and move on...
I wasn't aware that I've been made to look like an ass!
All this anger over some silly trash talk in an attempt to get people to relax a bit.
To tell the truth, I find most people here pretty helpful. If I were to focus in on myself, I'd say that this was more inflammatory than I'd intended and that I've certainly missed some unwritten rule about not being playful or fun. For all my bluster, I can see how people could have mistaken this for actual condemnation.
I'll make an honest attempt to be more boring, in the future.

I cast my eye on the first page of the "general" forum. Approximately 40% are dreary, negative topics that this is an indirect response to. As for nexus loving posts....they are well buried.

Please refrain from being an idiot, unfounded moans are exactly that, but do not dumb down perfectly rightful and sane concerns regarding trading standards of BIG companies!
I do agree, it's a lovely device though

Please refrain from labelling me an idiot as I have an IQ above 25
I have never had a single issue with my nexus, except self inflicted custom rom problems, and if I did have a major problem I would take it up with my phone supplier and not bore the pants off you lot on here with it. I merely make the point that there is a large amount of posts that in one way or another, ooze negativity and this is my counterbalance, because if a curious non nexus owner read these forums they would get the impression that Nexus S is a flawed and dodgy device. The XDA powers that be should consider opening another section for Nexus S "General complaints and moans". I think it would be the most popular forum and I could avoid it.

Overall great thread. My wife and I both love our nexus s'. I owned an epic for months and that was a horrible device. Ay least with the nexus s Google is working on fixing the problems. People just need to either sell the phone their unhappy with or shut the hell up. Last i checked this wasn't xda-whingers.com it was xda-developers.com

Then why don't they just return the phone, get their money back, and buy something they are happy with?
Instead they seem to use the ownership of a "defective" item as a license to ***** and moan like it's December 21st, 2012.
-Make a purchase we're not happy with: we all do that.
-Return it, or sell it on eBay: signs of intelligence.
-Keep it, and complain bitterly about it: now that's just stupid.

I have been feeling the same way lately. Every other thread is "waah my phone won't do this" or "Rawr I'm so angry that my phone does that". Its silly. If you're not happy about something chatting on the internet won't fix that. Either just shut the hell up about the issues your having because they will get fixed or sell it and get the hell out of here.
In answer to the above, is that i hope and pray that google sort the issues out and i get to keep this lovely device?
And i apologise to the guy above (willcpfc), not for sure saying "you were an idiot" ...more trying to stop you going down a path where you don't consider perfectly rightful concers as warranted.
I will take this back, if they do not sort it within the 30 day no quibble thing. If they iron out the bugs i have then i can keep this sweet lil number ...i do want this thing or i would not have walked into carphone warehouse and spend £429 right?
Was just trying to say, be carfeul calling complainers unfounded, especially when they have warranted concerns
much <3 to all
is it really that hard to consider the fustrations of people who want this thing, but cannto makes calls on it without fault? surely not right?

My point is that if you really want you bugs fixed, this is not the place. Google doesn't troll XDA for bugs it needs to work out, it has its own system in place that actually is pretty nice. All of the bugs I've heard of are on Google's bug reporting forum and if you have the issue go star it and comment. That's how you get the problem fixed not just constantly whinging on a developers forum.
Jamiemac1977, I admit it was wrong of me to launch an oblique attack on posters who I am sure have legitimate grievances. It is not my place to criticize. I just want a bit of happy shiny nexus owners to celebrate

First time i've had an issue with a device and wanted to keep it, so that says something eh ...looking forward to a happy phone
holy smokes! that's like close to 2Ghz
it'll be nice if it didn't consume so much battery power and be able to maintain those higher clock rates
That's better. Some good, positive responses. we have some great and dedicated devs. We have the latest android. Its a good looking machine. I am sure it will grow and flourish like a flower in summer. We will see great things and be able to complete with dual core competition.

Yea... especially when anything newsworthy with the words "boot", "loader", "Gingerbread", or "rom" pop up on the interwebz.

True.... but forums aren't a new concept. And it's rare to see a forum that welcomes multiple threads with the same topic with open arms.
I think this thread is a great idea. The other one is full of "this is a Dev thread, don't clutter it up with useless drivel"
actually, this thread is a great idea.
all the "this-is-a-dev-thread-elitist-nazis" can police and berate all the non-dev comments that pop up in the thread located IN THE DEV SECTION.
So what's wrong with having a corresponding thread in the general section that non-dev folks can post in, ask questions, etc without having to take a virtual, condescending ass chewing from the "this-is-a-dev-thread-elitist-nazis"?
*edit* rozzco beat me to the point...
Once again, you all can report and walk away without leaving any comment. It's that simple.
cellzealot just broke my heart and said that it won't work because the radio's won't be restarted under the custom kernel.
Breaking this on a news site was a bad, bad idea...It's completely and utterly premature. There's going to be 5,000 people over the next few days referencing this asking how to accomplish what's mentioned. It'll hit Engadget, and BGR, and then all hell will break loose but nothing will have changed [yet]. Frakking sheeple.

He makes a strong case.
Do other phones (sections) get jerked around as bad as the Atrix? We've been told the bootloader was cracked, promised an OC mod, and now this? I sure hope this isn't normal.

Despite complaining directly to all the moderators on this forum and the webmaster, and getting no reply whatsoever after a couple of weeks, the image still remains.
XDA Developer forums set their standards high and draw people in to how professional and accurate it's pages are. Yet here we have a pretty bad example of sloppy web page construction.

Actually I think you would care.. And it does have everything to do with the content of the forum.
I don't think it's trivial, else why is there a picture (and device specifications) on the header in the first place if someone didn't think it would be useful?
Developers spend a long time getting the 'little things' just right and paying attention to detail so the 'little things' that annoy people can be corrected. So sometimes 'sweating the small stuff' is what makes something perfect.
Call me pedantic but I don't think it sits well with what is normally a well organised website.
Well I find it strange , a wrong picture. I will try to get it corrected , will ask mod, maybe I'm more succesfull.
It is Holiday time so maybe they all are partying.

I contacted mod, so now it is up to them.
Maybe they can use this picture:
It's sloppy and unprofessional. Over on the Android Central forums the Note 8 sub-forum is under Samsung phones instead of tablets.

Okay, let me rephrase it. I KNOW I wouldn't care. As for the "why," the picture idea has been around a LONG time...back when there were far fewer devices. I'm sure managing this site is not an easy task and updating pictures is about as low as possible on the priority list.
Here is an idea. For all those hung up on this stupid topic, go start you're own forum and set it up like you want it with the pictures, topics, and whatever else you want. Fund it yourselves and spend your free time managing it. Otherwise STFU and realize this is NOT your site, you do not pay for it, and you have no right to complain about it as if you're "entitled" to anything provided to you on here...for free. Oh, and no, freedom of speech does NOT apply here. You're a guest on XDA's property. You can politely ask for them to do something, but demanding it, insulting them about it (e.g. calling them unprofessional, etc) is way fvcking out of line. Now grow up and move on.

Oh, to continue.... I am the Troll King.
Remember it.
Live with it.
I'll help you out when needed, and I'm pretty fair with things.
But remember, I am the TROLL KING, and lesser trolls are my minions.
You all keep it on topic please, and don't give me a reason to clean the thread. You all know the rules.....
Carry on,
Cheers!

Okay, let me rephrase it. I KNOW I wouldn't care. As for the "why," the picture idea has been around a LONG time...back when there were far fewer devices. I'm sure managing this site is not an easy task and updating pictures is about as low as possible on the priority list.
Here is an idea. For all those hung up on this stupid topic, go start you're own forum and set it up like you want it with the pictures, topics, and whatever else you want. Fund it yourselves and spend your free time managing it. Otherwise STFU and realize this is NOT your site, you do not pay for it, and you have no right to complain about it as if you're "entitled" to anything provided to you on here...for free. Oh, and no, freedom of speech does NOT apply here. You're a guest on XDA's property. You can politely ask for them to do something, but demanding it, insulting them about it (e.g. calling them unprofessional, etc) is way fvcking out of line. Now grow up and move on.

Whoa! That's one totally rude reply.
I never demanded anything. I did politely contact the right people, I am a polite person (unlike you). I did not say they were unprofessional, I said it was not in keeping with the USUAL professional standards, thereby indicating that XDA Developers IS very professional. I certainly do not resort to the level of insult and disrespect you are showing. I have been a guest here since 2005. You are also a guest and have no right to tell me to shut up or decide what I topic I can post.
I simply started this topic to ask if it could be changed. I did not expect it to become a place to abuse. May I suggest this topic is now closed, now that someone sensible here has helped out in trying to get the header changed.
Hi,
I've just got this phone today and i'm actually quite impressed with it, my last Sammy was an S3, i've had HTC and Sony ever since, I go the gear fit with my phone too which works quite well too.
One thing i'd like to know, is there a way to root the device so that it can be unrooted and no one will tell, not even samsung, I don't care for a custom rom i'd just like to be able to use a few mods.
Plus will the gear fit still work with the device if it's rooted ???
Many thanks

Yes.
My question to you in turn would be why, after 3,597 posts, you don't try searching the forum first before posting a question? Or peruse a few threads at the top, either of which would have readily answered such a common query.

Christ my first post and I'm shot down in flames.. to answer your question I was in work and extremely busy. I had no time and a lot on. Thought I'd come home to a welcome to the s5 forum. Obviously I was wrong. Thanks for answering..
If i could offer some advice, perhaps you could practice not saying things like that to people, q and a is for questions and answers, it isn't an excuse to act like a ****.
Close this thread please mod.
I literally give up on xda.

3,597 posts = first post?
It's clear that you are looking to be spoon fed and firmly believe that your time is so much more valuable than ours.
Thank you for making your position clear.

Wow you are pathetic, do me a favour and never answer any of my posts.
First of all ill explain a little deeper as regards to my question as you obviously didn't get my point.
Q1) is there a root method that is reversable without losing warranty or anyone knowing about it namely Samsung?
Secondly does rooting mess with the gear fit..
Thirdly, why do you have little man syndrome? Is it because you are a little man? No reason to take it out on me, I was polite and courteous to whomever answered me but your response is both rude and uncouth, not to mention presumptuous. I think you should quit while you are ahead, my question was bespoke, you need to but out and stop typing.. bottom line here is that you wouldn't be talking to me like this if I was speaking to you face to face. For that reason alone, I suggest you don't reply..

stop hating and flaming my friend , it might be misunderstanding.
and about the root thing, yes there is a way and its an app called towelroot , you can download it from the site towelroot.com/tr
and about the gear fit thing I dont know because I dont have one but I dont think that if you root your phone it will mess with it.
anyway if anything goes wrong you can always unroot with SuperSu app
hope that I helped

That's very true, different cultures clashing sometimes causes issues like that whereas one won't see any problem with saying something in a particular way but it wasn't that, I've literally just got the device, didn't want a slanging match, just wanted a bit of advice, if someone knew then it'd be a lot less hassle to just say it rather than attempt to police the forum.
There's nearly 6 million users on XDA and that's registered users, even if a sixth of those people repeatedly ask questions by the time you've told each and every single one of them that they should search first, you'd more than likely have aged 20 years.
As for the original question, I ended up rooting using towel root, the gear fit still works as expected so all is well, many thanks for all the input, it's appreciated. And lol don't worry i'll be searching in the future, was just very rushed at the time and had a lot going on.
Cheers
