There isn't a section in the forum for this but for those of us who have put in the time here thought this would be great, and when Nunyabiziz you starting contributing to this forum with more than 38 post and and some software development then you can decide where posts go.

Post counts isn't the point here also the way I see is that the more posting you have the higher the chances of you making an ass of yourself. In this case which is found to be true. I guess for the members like myself that has been here longer the June 2010 know that there is an EVO General sub forum. I believe in the saying, "It's better for people to think that you are stupid then to open your mouth and confirming it.

Simple...they do not SEARCH before posting

depends what your config is, don't accept the recent OTA's if you haven't yet. www.unrevoked.com is all you need to know for rooting.

Yeah unrevoked was really easy. Now I am a flashaholic, and you will be soon too, lol.

A great place to start is to read the stickies and faq's, rather than posting a whole new post to ask something that's already been asked thousands of times.

Hey, thanks captain obvious.

nice way to burn yourself... but yea check the sticky that says rooting and noob stuff... that might help... imo... lets hope you can read a little better or your gonna end up bricking your phone...

I didn't burn myself. I just like to point out this forum is for help. If yo don't want to help don't waste your time posting.

This forum is actually for general discussion. The Q&A forum is for help. Though I suppose help can qualify as "general discussion" it's still pretty disingenuous to think that this forum is more suited for helping than the Q&A forum is.
One thing I've found is that people that don't want to put any effort into doing research/experimentation themselves (before asking for help) are the ones that tend to end up with broken phones or just really weird phone issues because they simply follow directions without having any understanding of what they're actually doing.
So ultimately you are burning yourself, but not necessarily in quite the same way as implied in one of the above messages.

by burned yourself, he meant that people are even less inclined to help you now, but you are being a child if you expect a person to type the whole process of rooting just for you on this thread because you are too lazy to read the dam stickies wich already explain it far better and in much detail, its on you friend....next time if you want people to help you, dont act like a spoiled brat

Dedicated guide/how to section?

Mods, I propose that we have a new section in this (and I suppose in other forums too) especially dedicated for guides and how-to's. This way we can organize a one-stop-shop for all the great tutorials out there!

Generally important threads like how to are always found in stickies

I know, but recently, some of them, including my lengthy guide about AT&T functionality, have been bumped off. If they're all put in their own section, it makes it a lot easier to find than to go fishing through the masses.

There is an attempt to make a wiki, but plus some are in stickies

Last time I looked at the Wiki, it was more like a link farm to posts and threads. I was going to have a go my self, but it looks like that is what a contributor has to do (make a thread or post, put a link on the wiki). Its not very cohesive, hence my not making any input, couldn't see the point.

Lots of drilling required. Mods more interested in giving some guys a tap on the wrist rather than actually looking at why some folk make mistakes, or reflecting on some of the ridicules statements they sometimes make.

xda is not well organised? mods are inefficient?
Well, what you guys have done to make it better? Time spent on complaining, might have been better used on something constructive, even if it was guiding some lost soul through the maze of useless threads...
or starting a how-to thread, in the spirit of OP's suggestion

Sorry if I might have offended you in any way, frustration got over me for a while, somehow the Note forum becomes full of whining, complaining, gossip and panic instead of place for helping each other.

No worries at all. Its something about the ppl on 'Note forums that makes it sooooo much fun and lively. Anarchists, rebels, go-getters, guys who go around with the middle finger permanently extended. I love it, you should too.

Very happy noob!

Hello guys.
I have been on this forum for three days now, I can safely say this is an amazing forum! Three days ago I didnt have the foggiest on how to root a phone. Knew absolutely nothing at all. Its amazing the amount of knowledge I have gathered I three days! I now have a quality and smoove running and looking phone, after bricking it three times! Top notch work the people of xda keep it up!!!
Peace out.

Nice to hear you're learning lots.
Just some friendly advice, please some time soon read the rules so you understand how and where to post and when to create threads, correct posting saves the moderators a lot of hard work and prevents you getting flamed.
Really you should have posted this in the general forum/general thread which is always welcoming apart from some grumpy old gits like me ....joking aside, if everyone plays their part the forum is much easier to use and find information on.
All the best....the moderators will probably lock this thread,, so read the rules and help them out :thumbup:

I am probably a 100 times worse a noob than you are. The only thing I have done on my S3 is to get root access via Odin. Is there anyway you could point me to some threads from where I can start?

Is there Paranoid Android for the new Nexus 7?

I have the Paranoid Android ROM on my previous model Nexus 7. I'd like to know if there is Paranoid Android for the 2013 model too.

Not trying to be rude but one of the rules of xda is to search before posting a question and especially before making a whole new thread.
The answer is yes btw but you need to learn how to use the search or even easier just go to n7 original development and look yourself. It's very easy

I like that Downtown started off by letting you know he wasn't trying to be a jerk. Sometimes people can be so mean to the newbies. But, yes, xbt, try the Original Development Section and you will find it.

One of the other unwritten rules is you have to waste post space whining about people. It's perfectly clear that posts complaining about people not searching take up just as much if not more space on XDA than posts asking redundant questions. If you doubt me, do a search.

What are you talking about. I let the guy know about searching and then directed him to the right place. Searching before posting is actually a written rule
Btw you just broke that unwritten rule you speak of to then by posting your post haha no whining here on my part bro but your post well that sounded a little whiney to me.

If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black, then I don't know what is!!!! Not to mention your post is longer, and takes up more space than the post you're complaining about!! There should be a list of XDA'S most contradicting posts, and your post should be number 1!!! Hahaha
Yes, I'm breaking this "unwritten rule" you speak of, but it's for a good cause, so that gives me a pass to do so, doesn't it? Sorry, haven't read the unwritten rules, so I'm not sure, and that's why I'm having to ask. Wait, they aren't even available to read, since they're unwritten. Well, guess I should have said "I haven't teleported them to my mind, so I'm not sure, and that's why I'm having to ask"
