So I'm an att user and just came from the Motorola atrix to the SGS2. I am so lost on these threads idk where to start, can we get a sticky on the development page with links to root guides, mods, roms, and hacks? I really think this would help out a lot of people who just got the SGS2 in the US that weren't keeping up from day 1.

Most of the people don't know what stickies are and don't read them. Though I do agree.
There are stickies for some of these topics, check in the general forum.
There's no point having links to mods, roms and hacks, because each one has its own thread, so ... there's your link. Someone created a thread summing up most of the ROMs, but the thread is not stickied.

I just got my HTC rezound and I am wanting to Root it. Help needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418659
I would suggest searching before posting or your gonna get crap from alot of people on here
Also, why post this in the themes and apps? Try the q & a section, you might not get so much hate.

Even older people don't follow directions. Just saying.

This forum has developed and matured with a lot of information since it's creation awhile ago. I really feel that there's a lot of basic, useful information burried in threads in here and the dev section that need to be stickied.
There's also a lot of repetitive threads that get posted which have been asked time and time again for which there are answers already existing. Collecting this knowledge together in an easy to access area would be awesome.
For instance, I just came on here to look up how to specifically do the deviceID mod to get rid of the compatibility issue in the market. I know the answer is here somewhere.. but it's going to take me a few minutes to find it when it should probably be stickied.
Anyone else feeling the same way?
I think that's a great idea. Rather than stickying a bunch of threads for all the common problems, it'd be better to compile them into a single locked thread and sticky that.
Yes, people requesting for all and nothing. I think we should do like other forums and do an index of rom(or themes, root, recovery for example)for both 4.0 and 5.0

yes that would be very helpful, everything is here is scattered
some things for 5.0us,5.0int,4.0 ..
Does the mod who can do that even view this forum? If not, he should enlist some moderators specifically for this forum who could sticky topics or compile them into a more concise list.

I was just catching up on the thread in the general section that says root has been achieved, and then the last post says that you can find the info in the development section? I don't see a development section for our phone yet, are they referring to the sprint models development thread? I'm apparently missing something here... When I first bookmarked our forum there was a development section, but I don't see it there anymore?
I think you need at least 10 quality posts to view the development thread. I've lurked here for a few years with not much to add since I'm no dev. It's time for me to give back where I can.
I believe they made all sections (General, themes, q&a and development) and opened them up together. After a few post in the General you should see it because it's definitely there

This is actually just a reference to a sprint root guide. You can thank cypher_zero for putting that together.

I am just confirming that this method works if you need clockwork mod and or root access.
It is working like a dream on my T999.
For those of you looking for a Video guide qbking77 put this video together for a quick guide. Be sure to thank him for that.

Glad I have been around for years then :-D, this was news to me.
yes, looks like the Dev forum is disabled for us rookies
Yeah, same here for me. I've been a lurker for years and now I "have to" be more involved. I guess it's not so bad.

Yea, that's ridiculous. Now we are going to have a bunch of noobs running around posting nonsense just so they can read the dev thread (not saying you are noob, looks like you've been here a while)
I have had 2 threads closed around me today. I kinda understand the 1st one, but this last one was in the General Forum? Is XDA ran like a Nazi Camp or what? I thank the the mighty Gods for letting me come here, but what the Hell is going on?
My guess is you will be batting a thousand. A perfect 3 for 3.

Ok. I'm game. Please tell me how come. What have I done to deserve it? I've been here since June with no issues till today.
This is not a social media forum. It is a problem/solution/dev forum.
Now, after saying this....there is usually an "off topic" thread in each forum....you might want to try that.

Ok. Thanks. I understand better now.
He's definitely going for the hat trick. I wonder what the record is for getting useless threads closed. . .
Ok OP, Sir let me help you since you asked, Since this is a Development Forum these Sections are for that....Development.
Not for the threads you have been posting...I will ask you to stop this, Thank You.
I would ask you read the Forum Rules
General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
Q&A Forums - For all question threads / posts. If there is no Q&A forum use the device General Forum
Accessories subforum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the phone model
Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to Kernels, Bootloaders, ROMs, etc.
Themes and Apps Forums - For themers to post Themes and App. announcements & discussions including modifications made to Apps and Themes.
So I just got my S4 last week and so I was curious about what kind of ROMs and other mods are available for it. Any recommendations ?
Also, can somone point me in the direction of a good guide on rooting this phone.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
A lot of ROMs and mods... Look around.
The root guide is a sticky. Did you read anything before posting this?
And this is the wrong section for your post.

Yes I did read about some of the roms and mods. I was just looking for some recommendations on which ones to try out. And I musta missed the sticky on rooting. Didnt think it was a big deal to just ask.
And sorry, I didnt realize this was the wrong section. Roms are part of development and so I thought it was the right subforum. My bad.
Posted using my Galaxy S4 \m/
Admin will move it but any questions non rom specific go in general questions... Any way read the sticky before posting as to not get beat up... If you want to test the waters and Have not tried any roms yet id say try bonestock its me7 based and very very stable. . When you get bored you can start flashing the others see what you like. . Good luck
