[Q] Debranding

Hi peeps. Im starting to get really ticked off by the branding string in the build properties.
What do i have to do in build.prop to stop the android market seeing my xoom as a verizon device and see it instead as a viewsonic gtab or whatever?

Why is everyone posting questions in the dev section?

Because they can't read
Sent from my Evo 4G using Tapatalk Pro

let me explain why...
its because i am a dev myself, and i have been here long enough to know that at this stage in a subforum's development no-one from the dev community ever looks in the general subsection
welcome to reality
also, you should understand this perfectly well having joined in 2009... or are you just a snob with a post count?

One might ask what he is implying you cannot read.

Nothing we say will help. Makes me sad they don't know how to follow the rules and have common sense. All you get by posting a question in a dev forum instead of general or q/a is people telling you to post in the right thread. Just do it and they will help.

Maybe you'll get a better answer if you try posting in the right section for considering yourself a dev you're good at being stupid

Problem solved.

It's hilarious how so many people on forums get their geek tighty-whities in such a bunch when (god forbid!) people don't follow perfect forum etiquette, even when they have a legitimately good reason for doing so. Get over yourselves.

He had no good reason he considered himself a dev and yet doesn't have common sense to post his question in the right section

a Dev? Are you kidding? His app is still stuck on beta test stage and they couldn't make it done....

Perhaps if any of you tight-ass teenagers had read my reasons for posting in this subsection (its the third post, refer to it if you please), you would think again.
And my app is not stuck in beta, the draft is on the market and all the beta testers have already received their free rc. They are all happy with it.
If you really knew this forum, you would not be saying those silly, childish things. And if you dont know how to help, speak less lest you hinder instead.

Yeah... thats not what im looking for as its a cdma verizon only device at this point.

You are contributing to these answers. I suppose you like being a flamer. The anonymity of the internet provides you with a safe place from which to mindlessly attack others in the vain hope that it will expose your superior intellect and regard for the rules.

I actually was contributing by trying to tell you where to post to get the best results.... not some mindless attack. "The anonymity of the internet provides you with a safe place from which to mindlessly attack others in the vain hope that it will expose your superior intellect and regard for the rules." Anonymity? Actually my name is Morgan Brant and I live at 2215 ontario street. Do I really need a safe place to talk... no not really... oh and a productive member of society? I'm actually a full time student and a full time photographer... don't believe me? Maybe you can do more then check my "Bio" when trying to school me with your pathetic elitest attitude.

Wow. Do much hatred. Yes, technically questions don't belong here. But, if he had worded the post differently, nobody would mind. "[PROJ] debranding the XOOM let's figure out how to change the build.prop..."
Now, since we're already here and on the subject... anyone had any success with this?

Apparently being a "DEV" means you no longer have to fallow forum rules and you can pretty much do what ever you want. Sounds cool..
Also since your a developer shouldn't you already know how to change the build.prop?

The quality of Modmanship.............

Is none of my concern.
Delete thread please?

Its a very very fine line between being a good administrator and being a clown.
I own a forum with over 2500 members (very small, but thats the way we like it), and am an admin on three others.
I give my mods pretty much free reign to do as they wish, BUT I often find myself going back and cleaning up messes.
It is very important for the continuity of information that threads be kept in the appropriate section. It would have taken less time to simply move this thread than to answer the way that he did.
But as I said, its a rough life as a mod/admin. No pay, no appreciation in most cases, and it does nothing but anger the family...
Take it easy on the guy, he really is just trying to do what he thinks is best for the community. Unless his post was edited, I see absolutely nothing offensive about it. In fact, this thread is more offensive than the one you are referencing.

Ja, you are right about some things. But it should have just been moved.Different viewpoints. I also mod a forum, sorry that this thread offended you, but i got offended seeing a relative newcomer get the cold shoulder when asking nicely.
That is more offensive.
Going to delete the content of original post. My time of the month.

Right ok.....
First of all, yes I acted like a ****.
In my defence I'm having to move at least 10 threads a day from general to q&a... despite a sticky and a forum announcement explaining that questions should not be posted here.
When I realised that the thread your talking about was posted by a new member I'm pretty sure I unlocked it and moved it to q&a....
I can't promise I'll pay the same courtesy to members who should know better though.
I have spent the past two weeks moving every [Q] thread that appeared but unfortunately that doesn't help to get the message across.
Like I said, I guess I was being a **** but then again I'm just trying to keep this place tidy for everyone's benefit and if I have to make that point by locking a few threads here and there then I will.

You dont have to explain a thing bud, Its the idiots who cant read that we should be complain about not the mods doing their job.
Alot of people including myself are sick and tired of crap getting posted in wrong places, its really irritating and tbh stickies or announcements shouldn't even need to be made, its pretty much common sense and anybody with half of a brain can see which section which kind of topic goes in and which it doesn't. Obviously though we get some people who either cant grasp this concept who are just too lazy to read forum titles.

Tbh, I agree with you. Nothing worse when someone just types out a question, about something that is probably answered just two threads below.

But honestly, Darkside had a point but maybe not presented in the best way. I guess some people are tired of answering the same questions when there are clear posts/threads about it that are also easy to find.
I'm a beginner as well but I tend to look for a solution myself rather than asking. But we are all different I guess.

Such is society. The world is full of people who would prefer to have information hand fed to them. No wonder many people cannot infer from information.

Your post explains EXACTLY where im coming from, thank you.
And the part about searching yourself is music to my ears.
yes, maybe i went about it the wrong way, i will admit that...BUT:
I know this isnt my forum, i have no say in anything on here at all...but its depressing having to read the same thing over and over and over - and all these threads do is push the good informative threads off the first couple of pages and makes it very hard to garner good honest information posted by people making a genuine effort to improve things for our phone.
Check the Q&A & General section, count how many ICS threads there are already...all talking about the same thing. Its like all of a sudden theres an influx of new members (probably young guys/girls) who are in a competition to feel part of something, and satisfy this need by posting threads on massive forums like this one without using the search function...that function is there for a reason, its mentioned in the rules and its just common sense to check if what you are about to post is already available...isnt it?
Maybe im completely wrong, maybe im looking at it the wrong way, but i now struggle to find anything of value on this forum because im wading through...well, you get my point....

I am not that clever, but I do know that Search & Read are the most valuable things to use this site. And if I am able to do it, then most can do as well.
I can understand if the Rooting and Flashing of ROMs was explained in a very technical way, but the posters have taken time to do step-by-step instructions. Okay sometimes for noobies it can still be confusing. I guarantee that if they read through that thread then they will have found someone already who asked that question for clarification (which will have been answered).
I am indebted to some very clever folk have developed programs or modified ROMs so that we can root and flash. And also to those who took the time to make the guides for us.
I only wish I knew how to go about learning about developing - it does seem to be a very steep learning curve.

How is he supposed to know what you have posted without reading it. You may have tried searching & reading but there was a problem with actually doing the rooting.
There are a lot of folks on here that English is not their first language, so may need help with following the instructions.
If you have learned to use the best thing on this site - the Search - then his reply was worth it.

Clearly you didn't use the search button, or you'd have found the answer quickly. Or if you bothered to check the stickies for the kernels, or read through the thread.
If the files have already been posted by the developer and confirmed working, why are you asking people if its 'safe'?
And yes, asking people to use the search button is useful, if you even bothered to read the XDA rules.

I have to agree with Olyloh6696 on this one. The advice given was quite acceptable. Everyday new threads are started for no reason when the info is already available. Some people just want to be spoon fed simple information. Maybe they are in a rush to solve their problem and decide why spend hours looking when I can just start a new thread and ask. Only problem is; hours of other peoples time is waisted looking at threads like this one.

@noobs - Enough is enough

Ok, this is now going to be a personal rant.
@Colossus: feel free to delete or lock the thread if it's somehow inappropriate.
@All noobs who seem to think I'm their personal support assistant or personal liaison assistant and therefore can't stop bugging me to hell and back by PM:
Enough IS enough.
You ALL have a FORUM right here in front of your nose where you can post your nonsensical questions - and there's even Google to answer your brainfarts.
If you bricked your phone - search this forum about how to flash back to Stock (yes, the answer to that has been posted now for a trillionth times) or post this question all over again as asking is obviously easier than making use of your non-existent brain.
If you hard bricked your god damn phone because you decided to disregard each and every warning - I AM NOT YOUR PERSONAL SUPPORT ASSISTANT - if you feel like you want to try the unbrick method posted by the the_laser on setool.net READ UP ON THE REQUIREMENTS and then do whatever you like; I AM NOT ON THE PAYROLL OF SETOOL.NET NOR AM I YOUR NANNY NOR DO I CARE.
Search yourself another idiot you can spam by PM about whatever fart you just made.

Thank you, this is what i have been trying to tell all, enough is anough, i recive tons of SPAM everyday just cuz they cant use the search button. I will no longer reply to people who PM me questions about the same subject someone else made a thread about and on and on, in fact, its like an infinite SPAM.
Feel free to speak your frustration on what me and b.jay say, Cuz i wont give one, enough spam is enough.
@mods feel free to tell me stuff, but we have had enough, these n00bs have already broken rules by spamming us and not using the search button, in fact thats 2 rules broken by n00bs
@n00bs we cant say this clearly enough:
ENOUGH SPAM IS ENOUGH, NO MORE PM'S JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT BE BOTHERED TO USE THAT GOD DAMN SEARCH BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
​IM NOT YOUR SUPPORT ASSISTANT OR A LIVING FAQ/GUIDE!!!
WE DONT GET PAID TO HELP YOU, WE DO IT TO BE NICE, BUT YOU N00BS HAVE CROSSED THE LINE NOW
ANY MORE SPAM AND I WILL LEAVE XDA FOR GOOD (OR AT LEAST THE X8 FORUMS)
IM LITERALLY PREACHING TO MY CAT, AT LEAST HE ACTUALLY LISTENS
Thanks for reading and listening, hope this stays in your heads n00bs, In fact
@mods can you put this in the sticky section please, im sick of rubbish PM's from people!!!!!!!!!
STOP BUGGING ME GUYS

Edit:
I feel Noobs are coming to spam this thread.

Agreed.
I'm a moderator on a forum with over 3,000 members and I knowvhow it feels but with about 10-15,000 people viewing this forum a day , I can't imaging the terror.
--

I think you are right. Also I want to add that many members on forums think that it is a chat room and demand immediate answer to their question. apart from that they become really rude when you are telling them that it isn't right to behave like this on a forum. I like to help others but sometimes they are incompetent to do even the basics. This is what makes me furious sometimes. Ok we are not all experts or developers but we search first and read carefully. That's my opinion. Take care ;-)

Thanks for supporting the case.
I don't know about your experience, but it's tiresome when you get countless PMs from whomever asking about things that are either already answered (read: a simple Forum search would bring up the answer) or, won't tell a name to protect the innocent, idiotic questions about "can I unbrick my phone with setool2? if yes, how does it work? what do i need to do? could you please take my hand and be my nanny?" just because someone felt like posting something about it without knowing jack**** her-/himself.
If they don't get their so much desired answer in the thread then...
...we haven't stumbled across the post yet.
...we simply didn't feel like answering the same old question all over again.
...we may not know the answer.
...we found the question to be highly boring.
I just find the total unwillingness to try and do some research breathtaking - plus PMing when not getting the answer is what I consider rude behaviour as they seem to expect that we're their living root of endless knowledge.

CONCLUSION:ANNOYED

Last time I received a message with request to 2.3 ROM. I thought that I'm gonna fall from my chair. I don't blame new members, but there is one good rule - think before you post, think before you do anything in your life. Fact that you are 12 or 50 don't dismiss you from that. We are offering you our time, and I love the fact that I helped somebody but there is a border of everything. Keep this forum clean and friendly. Don't cover yourself behind anonymous status - respect people. Peace. Tomek

first i make that clear: i have never ask a question through a pm which have been answered millions of times and there are tons of threads about it, i always use the search button.
i understand that its painfull to have many spam pm about stupid issues but from what i have see you people asking for this. To exlain myself, i have notice that when one of those stupid questions is asked, what are you doing?,you keep in answering it, i dont know why you are complain when the half or more thanks you have collect are from that noobs, as you say, and that useless questions.(i dont say that you dont make useful post i just say that those who asking a q usualy leave thanks).when you keep telling them the bla bla its common sense to think of you as their personal assistant.
To talk about myself i usually provide links in order understand that their q has already been answered
P.s. i am not writing this to offend you i just have different opinion
@at the guy who keep telling that he is gonna leave.... leave who cares you are not a dev

Why are there two different Nexus 4 Development Threads?

1- Original Android Development
2 - Android Development
Got a clue?

FYI all questions should be in the Q&A section. You should ask to have this thread moved.

Not sure but I have been running code fire x BR2 with matrix kernel in the original section and loving this combo!:thumbup:

original android development = original android development (ie building android from source)
android development = using a base/other sources and adding in certain features/tweaks
so your thread is clearly posted in the wrong forum!

Original Android Dev has "ORIGINAL" DEV. It has official ports and works that are ORIGINAL and NEW.
The other has port and custom built roms.
Hope this helps and IB4L

Its to fake out all the people that like posting questions in the developers thread.

Users like you two are what's wrong with the community.
New people come here and they aren't aware of the rules. Then, members who are more acquainted tell them the standard behavior and how they should treat the forums. "Post topics in relevant subforums. Questions go in Q&A, accessories goes in Accessories, etc" and "this has already been answered, you should have used the search function."
These are not rules made to piss you off. They are not rules by accident. They are suggestions of common sense and practical experience that helps prevent the forums from becoming disorganized and repetitive. You have no idea what a burden it is to have dozens of threads talking about the same thing. Or, to want to browse threads of a certain theme (Themes, for example), but every other thread is of a vastly different topic.
It is tremendously childish to disparage someone who is trying to help enforce rules. They only do so for the sake of clarity and organization. You are being very unhelpful by not directing new users and letting them do whatever they want. What do you think is accomplished if everyone takes your attitude? Those new users require feedback and guidance. The only response OP should make in regard to this is: "oh, I didn't know. Thank you for telling me so genially. I will remember this lesson."
It's tragic that both of you can be so condescending and immature, yet simultaneously chastise rule-enforcers–who are actually cordial and helpful–of being condescending and immature. That sounds uncannily child-like. You two are ridiculous and should feel ridiculous.
Don't think the mods are ever vigilant and omnipotent. Unless they read through every post of every thread, they aren't going to catch everything. That's why there's a report button next to every post. Simply posting a comment to let new users know that the posters should adhere to certain guidelines to maintain organization and reduce clutter helps mods tremendously by distributing the manpower needed to manage a huge forum like xda.
Seriously, the other posters are actually contributing by informing OP of how the site works, while you two are basically saying "F the man! I do what I want, and you should do what you want! YOLO!" This attitude leads to a terribly organized forum. I can't even fathom what goes through your heads. "Yo, don't listen to these more experienced xda members! They are just nerds! Instead, they should be listening to me!"
Honestly, you two need to grow up.

To inform ppl & to direct our newer members to the correct forums is one thing, But to make fun of or to ridicule users is another & not acceptable let alone helpful. Its because of [email protected]$$ comments like that, that alot of users have left to other Android forums. Bravo you deserve a star for that...NOT.
If you actually read my post above you would see that I was not referring to our members that were helpful, But only the ones that creat a bad user experience for our newer/older members alike. Kind of like you. I rest my case.
There's a reason that not everybody is a mod. Thankfully you are not
MODS please close/move this thread to the correct forum already.

It's funny how you contradict yourself in your own post. You say that if you don't answer the question, that you shouldn't respond negatively, yet you throw out a few quips at other people.
You say none of us have the power to do a thing about this post yet you are wrong. Every single member should have the ability to report this thread for moving. Seeing as how you passively say that the mods will find this thread, I'm assuming you didn't report this thread either. Simply saying "mods please move this thread" doesn't bring it to their attention. They are not omnipotent and are not alerted to a new thread by simply posting "MODS."
I've gone ahead and reported the thread to be moved. For future reference to anyone who sees a thread posted in the wrong place. Feel free to direct the member to the correct location, but also report the thread for housekeeping.

Dave, quote the posts that you mentioned before. The ones that do not genially guide the OP to better use the forums. Because you claimed that some of the posts were condescending (you used many more, unnecessary words, but condescending captures the essence). Please quote them.
Also please provide which part of my post was abusive. Do so and I will apologize if I find that out-of-context, I was being inappropriate. As far as I can tell, you are being far less articulate, far less exact, and far more accusatory than ANYONE else in this thread. FAR MORE ACCUSATORY.
Your post is the first post in this thread that incited anything out of the ordinary. I suspect you are troll-baiting, or you are just plain wrong and have a hard time defending yourself with words.
Also, you are wrong to thing this is e-thugging. You are e-thugging. I have been using words and providing evidence and logic to the best of my ability to prove you wrong, and specifically referring to things you say and exact sentiments within the community. You have done nothing but put up a battered straw-man argument.

I agree with you Hung. Your responses have been well-written and appropriate. I also agree that Dave's posts have been more instigating than anything else. However, I think it would be best to take this to PM as I have. I wrote out a nice response, similar to the kind you have written and sent it via PM so it doesn't look like we are arguing on the boards. Let's keep it clean. I encourage Dave to do the same and reply via PM

Save the drama. I'm not going to babysit you (I'm not a mod) or go digging through your posts trying to prove to everyone what's already been said & done/seen. Your posts speak for themselves, need I say more?.
Your previous posts where anything but appropriate but everyone is entitled to their opinion... Even Stryder.

Yeah... Real appropriate. I'm done wasting my time with you. I could go on but I'll stop here as I have more important things to do than argue with ... well ...you
Hows that for (in your words) "exact"?
You create a horrible abusive user experience here at XDA. I'm ashamed to have even replyed to you.
It's no wonder why so many people have left XDA to goto other forums when opinionated extremists like yourself are belittling & harassing every new member that comes along.
You talk nonsense to me & I'll put you in your place. Nothing you could do or say could faze me the slightest, But new members who haven't been around as long feel harassed, threatened & uncomfortable when you abuse them (like you tried to do with me & NoLunchBox_) & they leave for other forums.

MODERATORS please move this thread to the proper forum & close. The OP got his answer and now it has just become an abuse thread
