There are way to many stickies in this section. Does anyone else think we can combine the "thread deleted or locked" "general rules we should all follow" and the "GPL" posts all into one big post.
I vote to sticky this thread.

And while we are at it, we should delete the captivate bible. The last time it was updated was AGES ago. If a moderator is willing to delete it I will repost it (and update it) gladly.
There are just 9 stickies!

Yes, but the Captivate Bible seriously needs to go, its taking up space.

Yes, I agree. I was going to make a new one but then I realized that we would have 2 directories stickied for a total of 10 stickies. The old one needs to go so I can make a new one.

Yeah it's missing a lot of info and a lot of what's there is antiquated (though not as bad as that other bible).
A bible by definition is a collection of ancient writings, so perhaps it should be called the hitchhiker's guide or something....
Also the title of the first sticky, "cheetsheet" is incorrect, unless it was intentional for some reason....
use firefox and install this if it really bothers you

I am looking for that thread that shows a step by step on how to get your phone setup like specific examples. What i am looking for mainly in that thread is there is a bunch of screen shots of widgets and their names. for instance there is like one dedicated page to battery icons etc... i cant seem to find it anymore. can anyone help!
This is DEFINITELY not the way to search the forums here at XDA.
We all have to search, sorry. But good luck.
MUST nooooTTTT POSt lmgtfy!!!!!!!
Did you think i had not already searched prior to posting my thread? Oops, YOUR bad! I searched for hours. and the reason i was unable to find it was because it was burried very deep in these forums. Your smug replies that do nothing to help but give you another +1 for your post count are not needed. Next time just don't reply if you can't help.
to anyone looking for that same thread it is listed here:

OP found his answer, and this thread is in a downward spiral. Closed.
I think we should all take a look at this.
As always, good job we have the outstanding Chainfire on our side
He has made an app for us to disable the exploit, cheers CF.

Anybody that reads a tech website knows about it. Samsung's already put out a press release acknowledging the problem. When it's fixed, I'm sure they'll know about it before we will and put out another press release. Nothing's going to hijack your device that you don't allow. Don't visit sketchy websites, download iffy apps with a low number of users, and don't accept certificates from website's you're not comfortable with. For the time being I'd disable "Unknown sources" in settings and enable "Certificates" in the browsers security settings. Samir pointed out earlier the naive could get in trouble accidentally. We here aren't naive.
May be i used the wrong word what i ment was an normal user who is a layman when it comes to tech and believe there are many on this site to who come for advice.
Will i still be able to update to the jellybean ota after this root method?

wtf are you rambling about....
The guy said that he hadn't seen a post in this section, so posted it...
We are not rambling if read the post carefully the replies have nothing to do with member posting the same topic again.
and the way i see it we are having a discussion not grumbling

Lol which one? Do you mean this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/guide-photochrom-filter-enabler-t4112519
The thread was locked as the op never posted a link to the magisk module.
The other thread discussed two ways to get photochrome back the non root way doesn't work (I tried).
Sorry if you think I am lazy and that it's a shame that I am a senior member. I have already looked at every section here for it and haven't found any viable way.
I just find it strange that you would exert any energy in replying to my post even though you weren't going to help in any way and in fact started acting rude for no reason. Like if you don't know then don't bother posting, it's that simple and quite embarrassing for you.

Actually at the time of posting initially it wasn't locked. I don't come on XDA to check on threads when I don't need to. It's a lot quieter these days. I have an actual job to do...
Plus to answer your second question, I would rather exert energy advising someone to do something themselves instead of me doing it for them. Especially when it's just a case of looking..it aids the growth of XDA in a positive way instead of the same questions being asked 100 times.
Bottom line is the locked thread is a thread based on what you need, the OP has an XDA account so why not ask them? Or look through Magisk??
Someone not looking for something for you isn't rude btw it's calling out laziness, that's an observation, nothing rude about it.
In fact I find you talking to me like I'm your employee to me! Is rude.
I'm not doing this back and forth anymore with you, read the rules of XDA, searching is one of the top suggestions as most information is out there.

Yes, there was no download link for the magisk module, no matter what anyone says. Moderator closed the thread due to that fact. There was NEVER a download link provided. Don't let one bad apple who likes to run their mouth discourage you. It's ok to ask a question. It's ok to not be able to find an answer. It's OUR responsibility to provide help, especially a senior member to another member, n00B or vet of xda.
I'm on in11aa and 10.5.10 disabled photochrom for me

You could not be more wrong.
I advised that there was a thread, the work has obviously been done. The thread was a placeholder whilst it was uploading.
If you think that asking an obvious question is the right thing to do on XDA then you're mistaken.
Asking a question is fine yes but to say it's "our responsibility" to answer? No you're bang on wrong.
If someone knows an answer then yes provide it, but don't make the mistake of thinking that XDA members are obligated to because no one is, it's out of the goodness of their heart, nothing more.
And lol I'm not a bad apple. I've committed years to helping users on XDA, I don't have to prove myself to anyone. Take a look at my previous posts and guides which there had been hundreds of.
The short answer is:
The chap who set the placeholder will have the answer. If not then there is no answer, perhaps downgrade.
As for someone searching instead of you finding it yourself.
Take a little look at this video
one plus again fooled us, they added a software filter which simulates like infrared photography, that too in outdoors, and it uses 48 mp main camera. So if you want to get 5 mp IR camera functional by root and props, #Dont_update_to_10.5.11.

No, honest. The reason I posted here was bcos someone said i was asking in the wrong forum. There is no reason to post the same question if I have already seen ur reply. I don't use xda much so I don't really know how to maneuver around. Sometimes I double post by accident and I don't really see an option to delete the unwanted replies.
