I have 2.3 version of phone bricker and I want to update to the 2.5 version, can I save it to my SD card and update through CWM without doing a wipe or losing any data? I've had some issues on 2.3 I figured a new flash or a full wipe would get rid of.
This should be in the lil phone bricker thread.

The rules of the forum clearly state any questions about roms not involving development should be asked in the Q and A

Update, just clear cache/dalvik for good measure.
But depending on your issues a full wipe may be the best bet mostly if you flashed my Rom coming from another Rom with no wipe.
very much appriciated thank you, also the blue theme friggin awesome on the phone

That really only applies to the forums that have dedicated Q&A threads ie not this one. Forums like the Captivate and the inspire that is true for. Here you should always ask in the development thread before making a new thread

I have seen people with less than 10, I know its a rule but that the forum itself didn't let you.
Too lazy to search for them, not that I care cause I end up getting PMs instead.
I would rather they post so others can answer in case I am swamped.

LiLChris06, I see you're always responding to people's questions, that is very cool of you!! Your ROM looks great I will be flashing this (first time flasher) I pick you to Captain my phone after many days or reading page after page after page.... Sail long Sail strong my dude!
Point is, if every person with a post count of less than 10 made a question thread we'd have a ton of new threads. Maybe if a dev made a q&a thread for their rom it would make for easier answering of questions for those with a smaller post count . It does suck if u have a question and you can't post in dev section, but at the same time, it pushes those people to contribute in other ways in other places. As well as search, which a lot of new members don't wanna do. They would rather just ask again even if their question has already been answered.

Am I understanding this correctly? I need to post 10 times in General or Q/A before I can post in Development thread?
I don't have any Q/A posts to create other than this and I don't have any general questions.
All I wanted to do was post to a thread that the Kernel is running great and no issues so far.
The only question I have is the following:
Should I post then new posts that are useless to get my count up
or
Post back to this thread I created 10 times?
I am leaning toward the latter but before I do I want to make sure I do not get anyones panties in a bunch. If this is an issue I'll just leave it as is and stick to reading.
If you just wanted to thank the dev who made the kernel, you could always just click the thanks button.

From my understanding of this forum, this isn't like other forums where you would post all questions and comments that are related to development in the development section. Since this is xda-DEVELOPERS they seem to assume that all questions are going to be related to development.
So all regular comments go in the General section, and all Questions go in the Q&A section. I believe they want you to post in the dev section only if you are developing something (a kernal, a rom, a mod like CWM).
If you want to report success on a specific rom or kernel, couldn't you just hit "reply" in the thread for that kernel? That's what I usually do.
Also, this will probably keep you from getting griped at by lots and lots of wannabe moderators (in addition to the real moderators).
Yea I know how u feel I'm on number 4 I think so this will be 5 half way there.

Questions belong in Q&A. Questions/problems on a specific ROM/KERNEL/MOD in the development forum belong in the thread related to what you have the question/problem with, not in a new topic. The development forum is for releases of stuff only, along with discussion in the same thread about said releases.
thanks for the clarification. one of these days i will get my 10 post in to thank all the hard working developers

Same here I was going to post in the developers kernel thread to provide feedback as it was new and they look for feedback.
This rule I can understand for new posts but for replying to existing posts I don't understand other than the fact you get a lot of people that post in wrong places all the time. However this will happen with this rule in place or not as they can reach ten posts pretty quickly.
Either way just found it an odd rule. Some forums do a "you must be a member for X days before you can post". This rule allows new members to do reading before they just start posting all over the joint. That one I understand.

Devs do check out the Q/A and general section too, so you dont have to post in their thread if you have a problem.
One good thing regarding the 10 post is that people wont post a thread with a question in the development section. A lot of people who accidentally post there says that their question has to do with development, and so they decided to post there instead of Q/A or general section. If people with a lot of posts still does this, by accident or not, imagine how much work mods will have to do if anyone can post there and is new to the forum.

I for one offered to help you, just not in this section. Telling people to F... off doesn't help either, in fact it's worst. While people are tired of getting flamed for posting in the wrong section people are also tired of sorting through Q&A threads to find threads that actually have to do with development, that's what we have sections for. I for one try to be civil with these sort of things, and while it's primarily the job of the moderators to move and or close threads as community members we have to police ourselves as well. The rudeness on both sides should stop, but....people should post in the correct sections too
Edit: I see the mods moved the thread, all is well that ends well.

Yea you know I'm not quite sure where the mods have been but it's been a bit of a free for all around here. There is actually a general and q & a section on here ....I mean, there is a post in the development section that says:
[ROM] cm7 nightly Discussion.......
What does that even mean? At first I thought it was a new rom but realized it was someone who actually posted a discussion thread in the development section when we have a whole section devoted just to general stuff. If I was jt reading through the nightly thread my blood would boil over the amount of useless BS clutter.

Its amazing how someone posts in the wrong section the thread gets at least 5 responses all of which were how the OP posted in the wrong section.
So to answer the OPs question, the only way it will remove your personal data is when you are in recovery and wipe Data. And if you have your Contacts saved to your Gmail account they will get restored when you wipe data.

So you mean the bad moderation of answering the question and then moving the thread to the correct area after the OP has been told they posted in the wrong section, its so funny how people automatically thinks a new user is gonna know exactly where to post, considering how many posts that are in the wrong section are probably gonna be from a person who posts in the wrong section and then won't be heard again. But they are definitely never gonna be heard of if they post something and never get a answer, but all they get is criticism, seriously people, just let the OP know wrong section, but at least answer the question.
Or even better just merge all the sections together so there is no longer a need to say WRONG SECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not.to be argumentative but.... My son has the LG thrill and his clock is randomly changing times on him resulting in him being late for work on one occasion. I haven't been able to figure it out yet (though i really haven't spent that much time trying yet) and don't want to resort to flashing a different Rom on it. so i could see asking a question like that in the near future if i don't figure it out.

Alright everyone i have taken an idea i saw on the razr forums for a discussion thread to keep the main thread less cluttered.

That is the purpose of this thread. You guys feel free to ask questions that you may have here. Of course be respectful as always.

Dude these threads are pointless. Point blank. The original thread is where all this should be. There is no way to clean up threads. Just read through the pages n thats it. If you read through the last 10 pages and you dont find an answer to your problem then ask again. Or kindly ask if theres anything new from the dev.

I would not say that this thread is "pointless". It definitely should be in the General forum though. As the whole point to these type of threads is to separate the "general" posts away from posts that actually have to do with the development of the rom - or whatever it may be.
Take a look at the Sprint S4 forums we have [Discussion] threads for some roms and they work well at separating simple comments to posts actually pertaining to development. The development thread should be for posting bugs, clarifying problems that are directly related to the rom, etc. The discussion thread is to separate all the "great rom man thanks a bunch" "oh I really like this feature, it's cool" "man I really like this rom over Z rom" "anyone find some cool wallpapers that match the theme of the rom", out of the development thread to allow the developers to actually identify and deal with the issues instead of being cluttered by useless/developmentally insignificant posts.
