To any Modaco members with the SG Note

I am a seasoned XDA Dev member with a passion. I also (like most of us) subscribe to other forums like Modaco who are probably nearly as respected as the XDA Dev forums are. Well I am on a mission because Modaco don't have a section for the Galaxy Note, which in my opinion means less combined development for our beloved device.
Now why this is so I am not sure as there is unbelievably a section for the Kyocera Echo for example... hardly mainstream. Paul O'Brien is probably not a fan of the Note maybe I dunno.
Anyway.. I set up a POLL to see if I could gather some interest there:
Sadly even though nearly 850 people have viewed the page, it has a measly 11 votes in favour of an included section.
I just thought maybe I could bring it to your attention to vote if you're a member and a SG Note owner. It can't be bad to encourage development, whichever forum we subscribe to.

Voted

got my vote!

Lol!...I voted on that ages, as you can see I posted as 'post #3'...Navie

Great! All those that post here will get 1 x "THANKS" clicked

I voted TOO

voted!

I'm going to vote now

Got my vote mate!

I prefer the development to be only on xda then there's no need to check multiple forums

This is true. As you are redirecting traffic to a different forum.
There is a lot of cross development between XDA and Modaco. But this is just directing people there to vote to benefit a different forum.
XDA Rule 11: Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
So i am forced to report this thread!

Sorry, as said this thread goes against xda rule 11 and i can't leave it open.

i9000 Awards - make suggestions for the winners!

Hey guys,
just came up with the idea that we could found the 'i9000 Awards'.
It works like that: in polls, we look for the most polite user/the dev with the most innovative ideas/the most used ROM/...
The award would be a nice signature banner or something else.
1. no best ROM/kernel/whatever discussion
2. show respect
3. don't spam the thread
Look at second post now and suggest possible winners. The suggested guys can later be voted in polls.

Here are the topics:
1. most used FroYo ROM
2. most used GB ROM
3. most used ICS ROM
4. most used FroYo kernel
5. most used GB kernel
6. most used ICS kernel
7. dev with the most innovative ideas
8. most polite guy
9. most helpful guy
10. biggest troll
11. most famous dev
Also remember back to the time when you still used FroYo ROMs, and vote for your favorite.
Now you can make suggestions on each prize: who should win?
You can also suggest more topics.
Pls don´t suggest someone twice. You´ll see who´s suggested in this post.

Best troll? got ya!

[ON-TOPIC]
Here are a few categories I thought of:
most polite user
best troll
most helpful user
dev with most innovative ideas
most active user(only in i9000 forum)
dev of most used ROM(GB/ICS)
dev of most used kernel(GB/ICS)
More ideas are welcome
[/ON-TOPIC]

This is sure nice event for sgs thread. Sometimes we need to enjoy and not just read rom/kernel thread, wrong section thread, spam comment and ultra noob comment who just asking without searching
How about award for
-Most famous dev in Sgs thread

Yes, we can add this . I think we'll need a poll site, as it would take a while with xda polls if we let each poll run for at least a week.

I want to incorporate a special award to the dumbest post. And my suggestion goes to the guy last year that got the sgs2 camera port on his sgs and then said the flash didn't work! A true story... Unreal!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Let's see... the idea was to give users/devs something back for their efforts for our device. But maybe as special award...

Thanks

I don't know why you tell us that . So you like the idea?

maybe you should only refer the dev name and not what is he doing (rom/kernel) because people may arguing of or flaming about which rom is the best.
:good/s:when this gonna start?

Pawitp and Stratosk get my vote!

I think we shouldn't mix everything together. But let's see. It'll start when there's enough interest. Then I'll ask Yorzua if he can make some nice signature banners for the winners. After that, you can make suggestions for the users/devs we take into the polls, and then it'll start.

I thought you wouldn't...... There are three stadiums:
1. Collecting topics for awards
2. Making suggestions for the winner
3. Vote for your favorites.
We're currently in the first . To make it fair for the devs/users that already changed device, I think there will be separate polls for GB/FroYo/ICS. I'll post my first ideas tomorrow.

[request] to all

OP/Developers spend a tremendous amount of time helping us all.
What can we do for them?
1) Read the entire thread, from page one! Our questions are normally already answered in previously posted notes. By asking again just lengthens the thread, and delays the work in progress. And everyone else has to read your question (even though it was answered previously). Using the SEARCH tool in the forum, can reveal your answer quickly.
2. Showing appreciation for comments/mods/themes/ROMs/etc/ANYTHING that helped out, should be gratified by simply clicking the "THANK YOU". It is a common courtesy!
3. When to try someone's work & it helps you or you like it. DONATE to them! They have given hours of their private time developing. Plus, think about software costs at retail. Donating a few drinks to them will keep them motivated to develop even more!
Thank you for taking the time to READ this! I only hope you do 1,2,& 3.

Agree in general, but you'll need to know that the search function on xda is no google. Half the time, it's better to search for something on xda by searching straight from google.

According to mods, he hasn't respected the XDA rules. You still can follow his work on his website (Google it, it should be simple).
If I were him, I would not return so don't expect any of his work to be posted on XDA.
Respect each side in their decisions.
(I should also mentioned that it is not the place to discuss such things )

No idea. I was wondering why the links to his new forum got deleted.

Same. Why should they help to leave their forum and go to a forum which is held by a "banned" member of XDA? Not chocking me at all.

Oh I see. I wasn't aware that he got "banned". Looking for his space now, need support.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium

afaik, he uses links that make him gain money, and that's against xda rules. after discussing with mods, he stopped it (using xda for rom threads) and started his forums. now, IMO, devs like him who make such good roms should be allowed to do so. maybe a good idea was to add a dev host link, with no revenue to him, and other links for those who want to help him. but now what's done is done and mods and xda has their rules and decisions.
speaking of decisions, it won't be a long time before a mod spots this thread and decides to move/delete it

Got MK2 rooted using VRoot... However..

Phone root is perfect. Removed Chinese superuser . Now, is there a recovery that I can use to flash a custom ROM? I tried flashing CWM and TWRP, but the phone still boots to stock recovery...Is there even a ROM that will work with this damn MK2 firmware?

I dont know if the method of MF3 works. I could not flash custom roms by that recovery except some TW roms when I used MF3.

no.

Why is it that people don't do some reading? There is plenty of information about this in the forum already. I wish they would ban people for not following the rules and at least minimally trying to find things out. Did you even read the rules before you signed up?

Scott - give it a rest.
All of your comments are the same..... "look it up"
This site is NOT the easiest to locate information on. Finding information here is references to references to pages that at 128 pages deep with a blurb to look at another thread.
"Yeah but thats my point, if people read and did not ask questions because the answers are already..."... well its a little too late unless XDA has some users with AUTHORING capabilities to clean up the forums.
To Rickala..... I dont believe a custom rom is available at this moment, but I would keep an eye on the development section of this forum. Get Titanium Backup and freeze all of the ATT stuff, the stock rom isnt that bad
Good luck buddy

Posting questions without searching
I am not siding with (or against) anyone here, but to be 100% fair, the search function here is seriously lacking at times.
Example: In the Accessories section, a few days ago I was looking at a page of threads including one whose title was "Spigen Slim Armor View."
When I searched, from that page, for the word "Spigen," it returned a nothing found result.
OK, it NOW works correctly, but for a while there it absolutely did not.
Of course on the other hand, how can you miss it when a half dozen threads on the page clearly reflect terms related to what your question is about?
The bottom line is, people are generally lazy and will post things like "I'm new here so don't flame me, but I don't have time to read through hundreds of posts to find the answer, so I will just ask you all a really basic question that has been asked dozens of times."

I've found a Google search with the site: parameter is a good alternative.
ie: "Spigen Slim Armor View site:forum.XDAdevelopers.com"
It doesn't help with bad Grammer, spelling, punctuation or attitude, but it does return better results than the native search.
Give it a go.

Scott -
Did you read the rules?
Lets analyze this:
Why is it that people don't do some reading? There is plenty of information about this in the forum already. I wish they would ban people for not following the rules and at least minimally trying to find things out. Did you even read the rules before you signed up?
1. Search before posting.
.... If the OP found this forum, he must have done some type of searching, no? I mean if no search was performed he would had asked same question in the Droid Bionic forum
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result, what may be OK to say in your part of the world, may not be OK elsewhere. Please consider who is reading what you write and don't use profanity, sexually explicit language, rudeness or swearing. Conversely, while reading posts from other members, remember that the word you find offensive may not be offensive to the writer. Tolerance is a two-way street.
...I would think the majority of people would consider "I wish they would ban people for not following the rules and at least minimally trying to find things out" rude
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do so. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably quite a few people with less experience than you, who could benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
...I cannot spot 1 single item in your paragraph that even touches item #10
Rickala - let us know how your search turns out, good luck
Take care everybody

Stop trolling. Your reply is useless and added nothing to the discussion (as have a couple of the others in this thread). It has already been widely reported that MK2 is root-able by both the V-root method and SuperSU survival modes. So there is no need for the OP to make screenshots.

Not trolling at actually. But isnt tje point of XDA to provide resources when making a statement root is available, steps one takes to get root so others can have it. Right? You should have camr back with a better response rather than saying root is available since you sre keen on providing links to "Rules"... to sum up soome posy credible resources gaining root.. YA???m that woukd be the humane approach....YA?

Vroot or Kingo was NOT declared illegal by XDA. Warnings were posted that it seems to collect information during the rooting process deemed unneeded for rooting so we do not allow direct links at this time. Use at your own risk and discussion is allowed.
Now as there is no more useful content being added to this thread other than bickering
