I have some suggestions in regards to making the forums more viewable;
1- A moderator operated LOCKED topic sticky that links to the topics of new roms in the windows mobile 6 for "phone type" forum.
2- A moderator operated locked topic sticky that links to radio rom topics.
3- Standard to be added to any new rom post with the following items;
a- recommended ipl/spl
b- recommended radio rom
c- category of people rom is recommended for ; "power users, noobs, casual , business....etc"
4- a specific topic for each (or all) radio roms, with some kind of idea of what benefits they provide.
------
the reason i give these suggestions is that alot of the questions seem to be aimed exactly at these points , and my own personal experience of trying to find information seems to be a nightmare sometimes. (searching for accurate information on a radio rom is HELL) i do believe these can be applied to the forum in general.
edit: i've realized i accidently posted this in the wrong forum, please move to the appropriate one.
Thinking of posting a new thread? Please read post #2
This thread will list and link to all threads worthy of being "stickied", it will be the only sticky in the forum (bar one) so please dont ask.
Please leave your suggestions for new threads [with the thread link please] to be added to this list below and a moderator will attend to this as and when necessary.
This thread will be cleaned periodically so dont take any offense if your message is deleted. Just trying to keep things clean so that new requests are easy to find.

as much as the tidy up is great, i truly believe that making the "Complete Leo Flashing video guide" and "how to flash everything" a bit less obvious to find (as these are after all intended for newcomers) is perhaps a little unwise.
ultimatly is up to XDA, but just my thoughts
Great idea: a sticky to collect stickies J
Just an additional thought: can't you guys define subfolders in a forum? Isn't it easier to have in each forum a subforum called stickies?

If we start to notice an upsurge in posts asking how to flash then maybe a flashing guide will be stickied back in the forum but this way cuts down on people saying "well if that one is stickied why cant mine be stickied"..
Dont worry I will keep an eye on posts and act accordingly

A stickie roll-up thread is alot easier to manage. If a subforum called 'Stickies' was created then it would need maintaining and non stickie worthy post being moved which means more work (and none of us wants that)
This way everything can be categorised and more useful info added.

Sounds as a really great idea. Now, all we need are some roll-up threads for roms, clocks, icons etc. So the reader can reduce his workload also (ahum)
bad idea
stickies was looking cool and these are easy for new users ..
specialy hsp thread , vbn files , must be sticky @ all !!!!!

Interesting re-organisation. is this your idea Mark? if yes then you need a promotion.
On second thoughts, it is quite a nicely organised thread for the noob, I like.

No the concept has been around for a long time (originally created by a great mod called DaveShaw I think) I just modified it for the HD2 Forums.

But with this organization you can still easy find those important threads AND (and I like that very much) threads with much or new activity will "stick" themselves back on top of all threads. Very useful when something new is happening in one of those threads.
Appreciate for the compilation

[NEW] What are ROM's?
Hello, i'm quit new here i have my HTC HD2 for about 3 to 4 weeks and i've been looking around this forum downloading wallpapers and apps and stuff, but i don't really know what ROM's are and what they are for. and i have read something about flashing youre phone is that dangerous for the phone?

Hi,
I have run a guide on the ZTE Blade on MoDaCo right from the initial launch of the device.
The guide at MoDaCo (I can't link because I am too new on this forum) is designed for new users to understand how to get started with custom roms and is also supposed to keep all users up-to date with the new ROMS and changes to existing ROMS.
The Question I have - I know that XDA is a big community and I believe that users would benefit from having access to my guide; should I Link to my guide from a thread here - or Keep a Duplicate thread in this forum?
Here is a non click-able link
android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-blade-modaco-com/319831/25-dec-installing-the-modaco-custom-rom-from-scratch-and-other-roms/
It's a great guide, I read it a week ago or so when browsing for information on the ZTE Blade and it's modding capabilities and status of current custom ROMs. As an Ubuntu user I especially like the Linux specific step-by-steps
Would love to see it in "XDA markup", meaning "ported" to this forum since it would be easier to follow when you're used to this forum's style. Although, it's very easy to follow due to being well written and constructed, so you'd have to weigh that against the pain keeping two versions in sync.
Dunno what forum policy is regarding just linking to another site/forum, but I think this guide should be sticky somewhere on XDA. It would definitely keep down the numbers of questions and new threads
Hello guys, I have created this thread to discuss about the CM12.1 by @Moyster, so we don't flood the thread's ROM with useless messages regard our problem with the devices, and leaves that only for developer things
I hope to have done a good move by opening this thread. If there are some problems, if I done something wrong, sorry in advance.

I don't think it was really necessary but it's up to you
The rom thread is not a "dev-only" thread (or I would've restrained who can post, there's options for that at least) but most of the users are simply new or didn't read the rules, and therefore simply come in the thread and ask "what about this ?" when there's already 45 pages and a Search Feature, for example to find infos about the battery consumption.
If people don't take the time to understand that, it will forever continue, hence it's still better to keep the discussions on topic because I don't especially have time to read a dozen threads to have returns about my rom.
Regarding bug issues, recurrent problems and things like that, I already made it clear on the rom thread HOW TO SUBMIT BUG ISSUES, but obviously that's the same as my previous paragraphe
This thread would be way more useful if it was a summary of all tips and tricks for the device / rom, a clean formatted post that links to "how to volume speaker", "how to wipe", etc...
Greetings

Ok, I understand your opinion, but I haven't time to mantain a thread like the one you adviced. I created this thread to group all users so that they help with each other.
So, it's better if this thread is deleted and recreated the one you mentioned by someone.
And thank you for your work!
As I think this thread might be useful for those noobs on Android And thank you again for your hard work @Moyster
By the way, seems Audio FX has crashes some times on my device. And I may to tell you that the baseband for international version of m571 might be different from those in China, for we're using TD-SCDMA network for 3G on CMCC(China Mobile). Someone recently tested a MIUI8 rom on 4pda and met the problem on baseband. And what's this for? http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/meizu-m2-note
And it seems m2 note is the only Meizu device (except meizu m2 mini) which has truly unlocked bootloader. And if anyone needs factory firmware or original Flyme firmware for SP Flash Tool ,I can offer that.

You could try to replace the firmware files and if that works for you, make a flashable zip for other chinese users maybe ?
I got the s4 i9505 (not the mini) and wondering the best way to root device if you need any more info just say.
Thanks
We have pinned posts at the top of the General subforum. Go there and start reading.
I have i dont know where to start
One of the pinned posts in General provides links to other threads, including a thread on how to root. That's your start point.
