Howdy,
I've only been here a few months, born out of the curiosity to learn about rooting Android devices, in particular my S2.
In that time, I've tried a number of ROM and Kernel combinations and found a one that suits my needs - thanks!
While I'm in no way and expert in programming or coding, I can understand for the most part the sequence of events and logic behind what I intend to achieve with my rooted device.
In that respect, this post is more a comment about the state of play rather than a question, as I don't believe I'm qualified to post from a technical perspective, so probably limits my ability to contribute in that manner.
I would hope that my next comment is not taken the wrong way, but in recent times I've become frustrated with the amount of negative threads and comments in the various forums. It makes it difficult to find the answers that you're looking for when you have to wade through pages of irrelevant posts - the same questions appear over and over again.
I also legitimately emphasise with the developers of all the respective ROMS, who, let's face put up with a lot of crap especially when they're providing something that is effectively for free.
Anyway, that's my 2 pesos for this year.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

It is what it is.
In order to post and reply more broadly in Forums needs to submit 10 posts and clearly I can't just post "emoticons" and "lols".
As I can't yet pose a question in an appropriate Forum I'm limited to making comments.
So, no, my original post doesn't have a particular point...
Cheers
If you just want to increase your post count you should try posting at some off-topic thread. General forums are cluttered enough as they are.

The appropriate forum for questions is the Q&A forum, in which you can post already.

Surely the google+ threads are more important than this useless thread. Report the threads and mods will take care of them if they consider them inappropriate. Starting up a new useless thread ain't much help
We make an effort to condense them down to one main thread in off topic.
That said, we can't be everywhere at once, send the relevant forum moderator a PM and they will deal with the situation accordingly.
Theres also the case that people may be wishing to create a specific circle for owners of a certain device, this would be difficult if every thread was merged.

Well its definitely not the case in most of them, however I have left a couple in sections I moderate due to the fact that they were started with that intention.

The only "tricks" I know of are by trying to get invited by someone posting something to you, and there's a script in the off-topic forum that retries your invitation URL every 5 seconds. I left that going for over 24hrs and it didn't get in.
I've pretty much given up now. I'll definitely be all over it when I do get in, but I'm not putting my life on hold and waiting for it.

I think some of the issues are that G+ comes up while talking on the forum. Then other are desperate to get an invite. I am guilty of posting in a few of them. But your right. Unless the thread is to create a circle it should be in off topic.

Hey guys,
Was wondering if anyone could post a logcat and a dmesg dump from a Nexus S running CM7? I just need both of those logs from a cold boot until the system has settled.
It'd be really helpful! Thanks guys.

So he's a douche because the op didn't read the rules, the two big articles about what you're not supposed to post in the dev section, or use the obviously labeled Q&A section to post his question?
out of curiousity, what do you need them for? they could contain personal info.
I'm trying to steal all your personal info and be a major douche to all of you! HAHAHAHA!!
Honestly then block out the information that's personal. I never noticed any in a dmesg dump or a logcat from boot up. I'm trying to port the Atmel mxt224 driver that Samsung wrote to HTC phones that utilize the same touchscreen sensor. Not trying to piss anyone off or get anyone's panties in a bunch.
I'm sincerely sorry this is in the wrong section and that I violated the rules. I take full responsibility and wish the mods to move the topic if possible.

Wow... give the guy a break...
You almost make it seem like posting in the wrong section is a crime or something.
And I'll even agree to pay for the crime I just wish that someone could move this so I can get an answer and not be flamed which was never my intent.
I was on a roll coding and decided some info from Nexus S users would be helpful and without giving it a thought posted in the development forum. I am "developing" after all but I see my mistake since its not for this phone in particular
Like really guys I'm sorry I just really want some info and yes I screwed up thinking this was the place to post.

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...

Don't mean to be rude, but the point of a site like this is that it gathers and shares the questions, answers and experience of thousands of people on thousands of topics. It's organized in a pretty intuitive fashion, so you can navigate and find sections of interest. The search feature works just fine and can help you locate discussions relevant to your questions.
If you do a bit of searching and reading you'll learn quite a bit about topics like toolkits and what various members experiences have been. As with most topics here, you'll find all sorts of opinions, but with a bit of reading you can start to get a good sense of the issues and areas of disagreement, and make your own informed decision.
You'll find that you'll get a lot more help and support if you're willing to first make an effort to follow the guidelines described in the introductory topic area in the forum.

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

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..

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
