because ppl are natural spammers, then no one report those posts, and the mods can't go reading all posts/threads to keep the forum "clean"

This is very much true.
I've been a mod for 3 weeks now and I have spend countless hours deleting useless posts. I'm happy to do it when I have free time but when I don't, I need the Report System to indicate the problematic threads.
It is very important to use Report wisely. It will help all of us.

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.

You don't want to see more questions posted here like mine yet you keep reviving the topic? I'm not going to day you're just trying to stack your post count but....
My question was answered unless you're going to add new information or something useful stop filling the thread with your wasteful posts, thanks to whomever actually answered my question the update was butter and all my reboot issues are gone love this rom.

Mods, when you close a thread for duplicating information/questions/topics, can you link to the thread that has the original information/answers? It becomes difficult when you are searching the forums for an answer, and you find threads asking the question you need answered, but all they have are a post from a moderator saying "Already been asked. Locked."
They would prob expect you to do a little of the work to find the topic or information YOU are looking for ..they r not secretaries

That was the point. When you try to do a search you get a lot of results with questions but no answers. This makes it difficult to do your own "work".
That's why its called "work".. If it was easy then you'd already know how to do it... Part of the experience is finding wrong threads that may not pertain to what you think they should, but you learn (how to search on your own and not have everybody cater to you) regardless.

You must be joking...
Clutter does not make anything better. Not the board and not the users' experience.
I've never had an issue..usually I can even google and find an xda thread about what I'm looking for..I guess everyone's expectations are different..regardless its not the mods job to do it for you

I can generally find my answers too. But once in a while there will be a hot issue that lots of people ask about. Their questions usually contain all the key words, so search results come back filled with clutter.
A moderators first job is to protect the board and the integrity of the data. It is also a mod's job to help make sure the board provides a good user experience. Somtimes that means cleaning up threads. This might include merging them, moving them or deleting them. If a mod knows infor exists elsewhere then he already knows where it is. To expect him to put that link into a thread he locks is _certainly not_ too much to ask.
Hint: I run a forum too, and have several moderators.
What if the mods merged the threads and shot the op a PM letting him know with the link to the thread. I've had a mod do that for me once here in another section. It was very helpful. Just a thought.

we dont typically do this b/c at times it makes a mess when merged, is a complete hassle to do, and also more importantly wouldn't teach people to take a few extra min to look around and find what they are looking for on their own and learn...
and the reason you dont see a link a lot of the times when threads are closed b/c other threads are already present......its b/c 9/10 times the thread that they should of posted in to begin with was on the first page of the very same section they post in....
Also we dont always have the time to pull up and copy the link to the thread for the user...
Closing this one, btw...if you have any questions feel free to PM ANY of us about your concerns/comments....were a open gang here

Hey guys, I have made this thread so people can share their performance tips for the latest jellaxy nightly, I say to overclock and flash michie performance package (lags for some people).
Also battery, if anyone has tips for battery then please share.
Also want to say a massive thanks to lagloose, for his great effort to produce the amazing rom. Thank you mate.
Please dont spam unless your asking a "relevant" question.
Thanks.

Usually im not a friend of spamming such threads, but this is worth it: We have about 6-7 threads about CM9 and CM10 (Maclaw-, Lagloose-Versions and some Help/general/whatever-threads) scattered throughout the 5830 Forumsection. Adding things like the Cam-problem or minor "have-a-problem threads" its even more.
Please! dont create more threads. Even now there are too much an IMHO most of them can be deleted. Nobody obeys the rules, so its not necessary to divide in CM9 and CM10 helpthreads (dunno where the problem is, but CM10 problems are posted in CM9 thread and Vice-versa AND in their respective "DEV" threads.)
SO: ONE Help-thread and ONE general Thread for CM10 AND 9 would be more than enough
just my 2 cents

Thats not even the whole point here, if it was he wouldn't reply to this thread. Or would he?
if there's one thing I don't like about this rom - it's that my phone rarely lasts 24hrs with minimal use (no phone calls, only whatsapp running, no internet use, no games etc.)
I really hate to be rude, but seriously SHUT THE FOOK UP! Stop making duplicate threads!
Sent from my GT-P7300 using xda app-developers app
But that is rude, really are you that stupid? I already said dont post if you dont want, people these days..... -.-"
The thread has been closed for now as it's a duplicate thread but some users here will feel the heat soon.
Discussion threads are not to be started just because an user thinks he wants to but it should be started only if there's actually a need for it & if it'll add something to the forum.
The members could have used the report button to notify the MODs rather than arguing & using swear words. If a polite reminder doesn't help in making the OP realise that it's a duplicate thread then the best option is to use the report button & be rest assured it'll be taken to it's logical conclusion.
Why can't i?

Only because people that weren't developers started making topic threads on the development forum. They thought doing the minimal 10 post would reduce it. And I don't think it really fixes the issue lol

Alright everyone i have taken an idea i saw on the razr forums for a discussion thread to keep the main thread less cluttered. I believe (as I'm sure others do as well), that the main ROM thread should be kept more towards its core purpose, which is discussion related to the development of the ROM. 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.
wrong forum..........should be in "general"

And of course you can't move your own threads on this site, so it will have to be here until someone moves it.
And then once it is moved no one will be able to find it, lol.

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. Look these threads are pointless and are usually shut down. I don't know how this thread is still even open. Especially since its in the wrong section because the development section is for development only

Only the following topics are allowed in DEVELOPMENT area:
[DEV] - Development for any special projects or Apps
[ROM] - Custom ROMs
[KERNEL] - Custom Kernels (usually found in Original Development)
[MOD] - Hack & Modifications for the phone with code only, zips go in themes and apps
[FIX] - Fixes for known issues & bugs
[R&D] - Research & Development for Devs only, when gathering data for a new projects
[HOWTO] / [GUIDE] - How to instructions and Guides (Most of the time should be in General)
Note: If you are unsure where your new topic should go, then please post it to General
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.
