Database Users

Hello to all from the new Mod

Hi everybody,
Just wanted to introduce myself to ever one in this section of the forum.
I'll be keeping a good eye for any illegal activities here in this hood.
if you see this message:
Warez are not permitted on XDA, please follow the XDA Rules
you'll know there will be no question asked, any unlawful stuff will be automatically removed, to keep the forum clean from potential lawyers target lists.
There are room for grey areas, but some Apps & Games are rather too obvious to be allowed either as a link or uploaded to the forum, so please keep an eye on those and use the Report button.
I might not have a HD Mini, but I've had my shares of HTC phones, on both WM and Android, so I've been through Microsoft Hell and Heaven on both side of the spectrum, and know what are considered part of the HTC included Apps/Games and what's not.
The other rules are quite straight forward, no advertisement of any kind, unless a deal has been rigged with the XDA Admins, also no swearing, trolling, flaming, etc...
be nice, be helpful, and keep the questions outside of the Development area.
The Dev area is only for ROM development (common) and Apps/Games development (which is usually rare)
If you find any message offensive or in the wrong forum please feel free to report it using, and we the Mod team will take care of it.
Thank you for your cooperation and have a fun stay with us at HD Mini land.
P.S. I've got my eyes on you... ...all your base are belong to us

Welcome! I hope we'll have a good time with you

Welcome to the forum!

welcome on board

Request to administrators

I have contacted many developers for making some progress in bootloader unlocking. Most of them replayed that they are not interested in joining the old thread because of spamming....So I am requesting the administrators to provide one more thread which is locked to the developers working on the project (I mean only the developers working on this project must be allowed to post there)....The old thread can be used for contribution from other members...In case some new members have to be added to the main thread it can be done on the developers request... If possible please make some arrangement for our developers...
Doing like this may bring back our valued developers.....

Wrong section mate!
Dev's area huh! sounds a great idea!
+1

sounds like a really good idea

+1!!!
But I think that it is not the problem, if they are annoyed with the spam, they should make this on another place, create something like they make on google to share their roms and there is an area to post the bugs. I don´t know if there is a way to make it private, but I guess it can be done

It is vBulletin is capable of that and i guess there is a hidden here that can only be view exclusively.

Seeing the replay from many developers I was really sad and now I am not excepting our phone's bootloader to be unlocked in short time... ....Anyway thank you mates for supporting my idea

At last I got a positive replay from one of our great developer . . .

I'm sorry but your suggestion cannot be make, as far as i know only moderators have this power but you can try to pm to our User experience Svetius and see if he can help.
Moved to General.

it can, in kaskus forum, using vBulletin also, they have a subforum that only "VIP" member could access, and of course, moderators can also access it, but normal user, cannot, so i think its possible to be done. just need that recognized developer badge to access the new subforum

Yes...you are right....

Ohhh that, we have Recognized Developer private forum where only them (and mods) can see it and post inside.
OP request was a locked thread in dev forum for letting devs discuss and let normal member only to watch.........that's not possible, and btw every recognized developer does know of rec dev private forum.

Where talking about vBulletin here, even SMF have this feature. But your missing the point of af974.

"A locked thread in dev forum for letting devs discuss and let normal member only to watch.........that's not possible"
My idea was this...because it will let the developer to carry on with the project without any disturbance and will let others members like us to watch the progress...... Any way will have to stick to the options we have now.....

Well hi all I have the distinct honor of sharing the Moderator roll here and hope to help keep this new forum fun for all.
I am honored to be your Friendly Neighborhood Moderator.
To keep me friendly though please do not get into flaming matches. If someone is disrespectful please mash the report button rather than engage them further. In other words don't feed the trolls.
Also please post questions in Q&A. Those are the biggies.
I have put out a few themes and ROMs for the Epic 4G so know what it is like from the developer side. So please respect the developers. Without them xda-developers would be xda-facebook or something.

Welcome
Just give Chainfire or some other developer some time to root this device. As it's Samsung, rooting it shouldn't be too difficult (I guess )
And yes, you can buy SIII Mini almost everywhere.

I was wondering if the rooting will allow cell unlock.
I am asking this to know what to do: wait for root or go to a Samsung service for cell unlock.

root will not unlock the device, but I wish some great devs will developing for this S3 mini, wich is a very great phone imho

Hello all,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm graffixnyc and I have recently been assigned to help moderate the forum. If you guys have any issues please do not hesitate to let me know. As always, please follow the rules and treat each other with respect.

as much as i would like to believe that the rules follow some logical flow and understanding and are in place due to experience and historical events that have taken place on the XDA forums
i have a small issue with the rule of not being able to post in the developer section until having made 10 posts
from my experience in doing some small dev work i would not want to be harassed directly for help with a solution that i provided
i would not want to be getting several PM's asking the same question from several different people all because they were not able to post their question on the thread where i provided the solution
since we are unable to post in a thread our questions or suggestions that leaves only one place to be able to post, the Q&A section
leading to the risk of multiple duplicate posts and resulting in more work for the moderators to clean up
what would be the correct way to get around this issue whilst still following the rules?

Best 4.4.2 Rom?

Best threads are usually frowned upon as it's really a matter of personal preference.
To answer about Paranoid, you must not have searched much/at all.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502789

Haha sorry I'm kinda knew to the site. But thanks for your help buddy!

So under the vs980 folder on the downloads, it only shows 4.0 alpha and beta downloads. Are there any 4.4.2 roms?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app

Yes but they are all unstable. The Paranoid is still beta version and the Cyanogenmod is still nightlies version.
However both of them are great but for daily use the Paranoid is more stable than the Cyano.
The Cyano has also a lot of things that doesn't work good for now.

What r some good stable 4.4.2 rooms that still have the knock on feature and quick remote? And preferably pie and halo
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app

Depends on you, i like Slimkat, mahdi and paranoid, all then is very good

Welcome to XDA
Please read this post....
soupmagnet said:
Hello, and welcome to the forum,
Before you click the "New Thread" or "Post Reply" buttons, please take the time to read some rules/guidelines for posting in this forum:
1) Read and follow the Forum Rules:
Plain and simple. No further explanation needed​
2) Post your message in the proper subforum (see above):
All questions, requests, and help & troubleshooting needs, go in the Q&A Help & Troubleshooting subforum, if one exists for your device, and any misplaced messages will be promptly moved to their respective location. Users that make it a habit of posting in the wrong forum will be addressed accordingly. If you're unsure of where your post or thread belongs, please read the Forum Rules again.​
3) No off-topic discussion:
While some Moderation Teams may allow some off-topic discussion and the creation of off-topic threads, we do not. There is an entire General Off-Topic forum devoted to this type of discussion and there are enough threads already available to meet anyone's off-topic needs. All off-topic threads, and posts containing off-topic discussion, will be deleted promptly and without warning. If you're concerned with the amount of off-topic discussion and misplaced questions in the Development forums, please consider making a Q&A Thread for your ROM/Kernel/Project/etc.​
4) No threads or posts asking for the best/most stable ROM/Kernel/Mod/whatever, or created for the purpose of comparing Phones/ROMs/Kernels/Mods/whatever:
These threads/posts will be deleted promptly and without warning. They have a history of causing problems due to trolls, and fanboys, along with various troublemakers, and therefore are no longer allowed. Regardless of that, there is really no way to judge whether or not a particular piece of work is better than another because it's all relative to begin with. If you want to know what piece of work is better for you, install something and try it out for a while. If you don't like it, try something else. Our Developers work hard to provide us their contributions, free of charge. Please show them the respect they deserve by trying something out and giving them your feedback.​
5) Don't ask for an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival):
Asking for an ETA is the XDA equivalent of telling a Developer that the free work they do just isn't enough for you. It usually comes across as rude and/or demanding, and most developers will take offense to it. Even if a particular Developer doesn't mind being asked for an ETA, there are many that do, and there's a good possibility that it will incite arguments in the forum. In the end, it's just best to avoid doing it altogether. If you have no other choice but to ask for an ETA (i.e. the work you're doing absolutely depends on it), then please, do it through a private message and keep it out of the public forums.​
6) Keep your signatures at a respectable size:
While members are given a great deal of freedom in creating personalized signatures, it is expected that this freedom is not abused. Abnormally large signatures are obnoxious to most users and they tend to be a major distraction from the topic at hand. If your signature is double the size of an average post or larger, expect be asked to change it. If you're not sure whether the size of your signature is within the respectable limits, feel free to contact a member of the Moderation Team that is assigned to this forum for clarification.​
7) Be nice:
It's not that hard. If you can't say something nice to someone, don't say anything at all. If you feel the need to respond negatively to someone, please refer to #8.​
8) Report all violations of the aforementioned rules/guidelines and DO NOT respond to them in the open forum:
If you happen to notice a rule violation, use the "Report Post" button in the upper right hand corner of the offending post, or send them a polite reminder through private message so they may resolve the problem on their own (for minor violations of course). Please do not respond to posts that are in violation of the rules in public. Regardless of the fact that it leaves more work for us to do when cleaning the forum, responding to them in public only compounds the issue and it puts you at risk of getting in trouble yourself. Moderators have much more effective ways of dealing with these situations than by arguing back and forth and disrupting the entire conversation, so please, let us handle it.​
If there are any questions or concerns regarding this or any other matter, please feel free to contact a member of the Moderation Team that is assigned to this forum. You can find a list of the assigned Moderators at the top of each sub-forum page.
With that, here are a few great threads to help you get the most out of your experience here...please take advantage of them:
