What makes them better than the stock ROM?
Just would like to know.
Not to pick up on anything, but so far I see no reason to install any of them.
I like HTC Sense, so de-sensed are out of the picture for me.
I might be wrong.
Please convince me.

No "in case it does not"... it doesn't. Please read the rules about posting in the correct section. I would think that a member with over 200 posts and a member since 2009 would know better.

I know right? First he posts about multiupload being shutdown in the dev section.. I'm surprised no one said anything to him then. Then when I said that it wasnt multiupload that was shut down he replied "no and no" and I took that tone as being kind of a jerk, then when I explained it further and all the other guys said the same thing he changed his tune.. he didnt even admit he was wrong.. then he posts this thread in the dev section which has no business being here.. and when a guy tells him he posted in the wrong section he says "wrong answer" which I took as him being a jerk again.. but the truth is "wrong section" IS the correct answer for this thread in this section... and if he had posted in the correct section then maybe he would have already had an answer to his question
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
The custom roms mostly have tweaks that are not visually apparent, but make a difference behind the scenes, such as longer lasting battery or smoother performance. If you read the list of features for one of the custom roms (I am using LeeDroid's) you can see that he has changed a lot.
I have noticed that people in the q and a section are not posting nearly enough information in their post or title to get the information they need. This causes people to ask lots of questions and delay getting the answer they need. So this guide will show you what you need to include in your post to get the most efficient answer to your question.
We'll start with the Title:
- Please do not just say "HALP, PHONE BROKE" or "HELP" , etc.
- You need to be precise, and describe what you're looking for in your thread.
Next, the information you need to state before you even get into asking your question.
- The make of your phone. There are many different variants of your device. I9100 G/M/P/T
- Are you rooted/unrooted?
- What rom you are using? And which version? -and- What kernel are you using? And which version?
- Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
- Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
- Have you done anything to try to solve your issue? This would be very valuable information.
- Please (if on stock firmware) dial *#1234# and post the results (thanks to fxrb)
Then you can ask your question.
- Do not ask "What rom/kernel/theme is the best?" -or- Something that you have not searched for (it is infact very obvious if you havent)
- Be specific and precise in what you want/need. Do not write a 10, 000 word essay, or a 3 word question.
- Pictures say a 1000 words
Important things to remember:
- Be polite: People never want to help someone who wont appreciate it, or is rude to them. Remember your p's and q's
- Do not bump your thread: It gets annoying and against the rules
This is under construction and will take a bit to include all of the information needed. I know there are lots of more experienced users than I, and would love feedback of what to include. Please do not hesitate to post in the thread or even PM me with information you think needs to be included in this thread.

The thought is nice... but unless this is stickied (and even then), this thread will fall off the first page, and since the vast majority of n00bs (not new members, but "n00bs" - there's a huge difference) won't search, they won't see it.
Heck, there have been dozens of posts since you posted this that have been terribly short of any information.
But I applaud the thought.
You have to think how them noobs operate.They muck up their phone,stick the symptoms in a google search,and want an answer asap.
So they are not going to spend hours reading rules and stickies or use the search function.
I spent a week reading about stuff for the x10i I had before I decided to do anything to it.That way at least I had half an idea what helpers were talking about when/if I got into trouble.
When I joined this forum the s2 looked a lot more complicated and the forum looked a lot more "vicious"(like give that guy 20xlashes since he didnt do a search).
Its a tough world lol

Yea, but we have to try. At least now we have something to guide them to and for the new people to refer to. If we dont at least have a guide for how to get good answers to their questions theirs no standard.. Now there is
Nice thread
hope users follow this
Doubt many people will take notice of this (for a whole host of reasons; don't get me started), but props for trying (thanked OP).
Edit - Oops. Sorry. So used to giving crap threads on here one star I did it to yours accidentally (intended to give it 5).
+1 to search first before posting.

Do you have anything to add to it? It feels like I''m missing something
Oh absolutely. As I said, good that you've tried, I just don't see it making any difference is all. 90% of people who post here are idiots, that won't change.
No, nothing to add. I think you've covered it well.

in relation to search and read before asking questions...
just wanted to share that I've got a nicely setup dualboot with the siyah kernel, RootBox JB 2.1 as my second rom successfully patched with the autopatcher 1.6 and a fully working pdroid. That's it...
Since i have less than 10 posts I cannot thank the developers in their respective threads (at least that's how i get the message). I think this is my 5th post so I guess i never make it to the developers section because i really don't know what questions i can ask and, answers i could give are all answered...
this must be a "new member" problem rather than a n00b one?
Regards and 1 post closer

Yeah, but don't just get 10 posts just to say "thank you" in the rom Dev section. I van personally say that devs hate this as it clogs up the thread and doesn't add anything to anything. That is why xda has the thanks button, and the devs appreciate that more than saying it. In fact, it you really want to say thank you donate to them. Even if its 1 euro they will be very grateful.

course not it was kind of a semi-sarcastic post, I have more to say than thanks I spent countless hours reading and learning stuff (in general, it is fun after all!) and as far as this forum is concerned (which is really helpful btw!) it's difficult to then act (for the time being!). Example: Somehow I managed to post in a developer's thread 1-2 months ago, first a problem then I found the solution and posted it myself. I then got PMed by someone asking me for help. Only problem is I never got an email notification in spite of having a thread subscription so I didn't bother to check my PMs. As for donating, absolutely.
Regards and 4 more to go

OK awesome. I'm used to people who just want to say thanks, so I have to mention something like that. But taking a look at your sign up date, of looks like you might be able to post in the Dev section without having 10 posts. I believe if you signed up before a certain date you don't need the posts. And of looks like you might fit in there. I would try it you never know
Edit: but enough off topic

Sadly I agree to everybody believing that this thread will not be read by those who should do so, sorry. However, if by accident just one out of thousand will read it then there will be 'only' 999 bad questions remaining - a small progress.
For this one out of thousand I would like to contribute something to the information section of this thread. For basic information I often ask people to dial *#1234# and post the result. As this thread is in the Galaxy SII forum this should work, at least as long as people are on stock firmware (probably use this conditionally ?).

There's already a whole board for tutorials, and you thank members when you read their threads. Seriously, stop trying.
I don't know if others are too gullable to notice, but it is pretty obvious you are doing all of this just to get thanks, your post always ends up with begging for a thanks, and you even have it on your profile signature.

I think everyone except a few members have 'please press thanks' on their sig. Even I don't like this too. No offence, but let him try if he's trying. Almost everyone here wants some thanks and some respect. Of course, you register on a forum, you want to show yourself to the people. You wanna get some respect. You want to be known. What's the harm in that? Nobody wants to chicken out and sit alone by himself in a corner. The thing is, many new users create threads for the wrong reasons and spam forums due to this. But he isn't doing that. Why do you want him to stop trying? Every thread that has been created by mrappbrain has a post like this from you. Why, you wanna scare him off out of XDA? This way, I'm sure no new user's ever gonna try to contribute to the forum.
I'm asking you, no, I'm telling you, I'm gonna report this to techno if i see a post like this from you again (unless the thread's OP is spamming).
Maybe this thread shouldn't have been created, maybe i'm wrong; techno's the judge. But i know one thing - lashing out on new members like that unless they're spamming is NOT right.

Ok I am going to create a thread in GT-S5360 Android Development board saying "This thread is meant for people to post their ROMs here, please thank me."
This is what I'm talking about. Create threads for things that don't fit in the existing boards but when there are boards already for them, there is no need for such threads.
The only reason why I'm hating on him is because he tried to make us look like fools by fooling us that he can actually fix games, when all he does is google apks of them.

Alright, I get your point. Sorry if i was harsh on you, alright? Maybe I was wrong. I have the guts to say that. But my main point was that just don't post on his thread if you don't like it. Report it to techno. Because maybe lashing out may scare 'em away, and not come to XDA again.
No hard feelings, right?

not the be That Guy, but really WHY creating a thread when there is already one?????????
http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/news-offical-community-builds-z-t3487054
this is why some users get in trouble when trying to Root or Mod. their devices cuz they don't read or look around for things.
P.S. this have nothing to do with me creating that thread few hours ago, my point is search before posting or creating a duplicate thread
"A2017 Source" and "ZTE A2017U Marshmallow Kernel(3.18.x)" are almost the same size (569MB, +- 100KB), so either the A2017 Source is just the kernel of the Chinese model but mis-labeled, or the A2017U Kernel package includes the full source as well. (I'm not a developer, so I'm not sure which is the case)

I was aware of the thread, and no disrespect saying this, but I just didn't think it was a big deal to be honest. I figured the threads would self-regulate - my post was about this instance of "source code" posting which could be confusing if I just add it to a thread talking about the prior misnomer "source code" posting. But if the discussion continues in the other thread, that's fine too.
I know many have forum etiquette pet peeves about not doing multiple threads, but let me respectfully disagree that it's an important issue. In theory, I don't know that having a single thread to discuss multiple discrete instances of ZTE posting "source code" is better than each instance of "source code" posting having its own thread. The former is a nightmare to untangle when you want to determine whether that (not actually helpful) source code posted in August is the referent of a discussion when you're looking for that (hopefully helpful) source code posted in October. Conversely, having multiple threads is a nightmare if you have to do multiple searches. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
That said, sorry - delete this post, do whatever, I just wanted to get the word out.
Sweet! Here's hoping for some development!
