Request senior members to help
Hi Guy's,
A similar thread was opened by a forum moderator in another forum so i have contacted Pilot and going to give it a try.
The aim is to help newbies/beginners/anybody by answering any questions/issues they have in this thread, they can ask what ever they want no matter what rom/kernel or anything else they are having difficulty with, a place where they feel no threat for asking such questions.
The thread is to be run by not me but all senior members who are willing to help, the aim is to clear the Dev threads of all the unnecessary questions that are becoming more frequent and making it harder and harder to follow rom development.
For those seeking help, always try and help yourself first, most things can be found here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678513
If you feel you still need help then fire away, hopefully somebody will have answers for you, please keep questions related to roms in develpopment not stock roms but will cover everything from adb to wlod's.
Please, if you have been helped in anyway by members do not forget to leave thanks.
As usual any new question threads started and not aimed here will be removed by the moderators so please lets keep our development forum clean.
Can i just add that a lot of questions are being asked that can be found in the sticky's, please read those first as most things are covered there.
Thanks guy's for you help.
good idea!
well lets start a little something off then..
1) is there a way to implement voltage control on startup without the need of an app? if so, how?
2) i cant seem to change boot animation. tried changing bootanimation in the normal system/media folder & data/local folder via xrecovery install custom zip file.. any ideas?
thank you!
Awesome idea mate!!
Now anyone can ask questions without creating a new thread or getting burnt!!
@topic: dunno why but my CPU spy seems not to be working, fc'ing all the time even after rebooted. I am on DooM's 3b kernel using J's ROM.
Thank you!!
Warm Regards

dude like even i had this problem , on Ericks Rom ..coz i used to update the patchs released by him on top of another and another .... like i used to follow the steps as mentioned by Erick .. but still i used to get FC's .. so what i did is once i flashed the full ROM (cleared everythin) and flashed the latest Patch and voila !! my cpu Spy started working again .. i think that problem comes when we try to update once patch on top of another and so on ...
jus gave my opinion !!
hope it helps you !!

GOOD IDEA!
Very good idea, I also think this should be sticky.
But:
It should have a better thread name like:
Questions regarding roms FCs/Errors/Reboots/WLODs go HERE!
Or something that could let extremely clear that if they want to ask something that are not directly a development(but regarding it) should go in here.
Another but, rsrsrs:
The thread should remain only about roms that are developed in here, anything regarding original SE rom, unless tweaked and posted in this area should go to Q&A.
You deserve a thanks!

Thanks for the support buddy and the thanks.
I did wonder about the name, maybe something clearer is needed, will see how it goes but thanks for the advice.
Your other point is valid but it would be better if we do not put restrictions on what can be asked in the op as it defeats the whole idea of the thread.
I think that you should also have a set layout for each problem that way it's easier for people to understand what's going on and it's also easier for other people with the same problem to search
Just a thought

No, I mean, no restrictions at all should be done when they question, it should be more like advises, something like:
inside the thread > First post:
You can ask/question anything in here but keep in mind this is guided for ROM developed in xda not for stock roms.
Questions regarding stock rom may be question on Q&A if not already answer that, if you have doubts regarding the best place you can try here no problems with that.
The only request for the thread should be that the questions must be related some how to errors/failures/wlods after using some apps or tweak, requests, doubts regarding new stuff.
As stock doubt like:
Does x10 flash led works good? should i buy a x10? rsrsrsrs
With time a FAQ can be added to the first post to keep the thread clean and be even more helpful to newbies.

If you made your own Bootanim make sure the zip is uncompressed (ie the files were added with "store" as the compresion other wise it will no worky
then just like @acerulz said adb push or copy it over the excisting one @ system/media/

Hi Buddy,
As your issues you are saying with the games are to do with stock then i do not think anybody here can help you, ask in the Q&A forum see if anybody is having the same problem.
With the wifi, all the roms i know of are fully working, read through some threads and see which rom you would like, it is your personal choice but which ever one you choose there will always be updates to iron out any problems if there are any.
Mac address change
I have a question/request:
How do we change Mac address?
That it is possible I'm sure it is, the problem is that the maximum I could do was to change it for some time(until the adapter was turned off and on again.
I need this to be able to use it on my job as I have only the right to have one mac address.
Being able to use communicator at the office would be very nice, as for now i have to carry the laptop around.
Sometime ago I've tried to question this in Q&A but got no good answer/no help
[Q] X10 Mac Address Change/Spoof How to?
In there I was guided to check this:
Changing(spoofing) MAC address
If someone could help me on this?
In my opinion this would be something that could even become a new option in all roms if the Devs that have knowledge to make it happen like it.
Thanks in advance!

I asked about that and someone told me if the guy who used the phone before me did install a custom rom to my phone before, official ways to update my phone wont work..

Firstly, This is a development forum. This topic does not belong here.
Second, use common sense, topic titles are supposed to be descriptive of topic. Putting silly things like "help needed", "help please" etc etc does not help anybody browsing forum.

Well I dont give a sh1t what YOU "want".
And yes I do keep creating the same message, that is because people keep posting questions and general topics in dev sections. I will continue to inform the people who do this until they stop or XDA intervenes and ups the post count restriction to something realistic or completely restricts posting rights to dev user groups. And FYI I was helping, if the OP posts in correct place and in correct way they would get better replies.
@ OP
Wasn't personal, Its just that if you post in right section and with a accurate descriptive title you are more likely to get a quicker and more relevant response(s) instead of ones like mine or from the "prophet" dude.
Also posting your email address on a public forum is a very bad idea. Not just because of general people seeing it but because of bots that crawl places like this for email addresses for spam/malware purposes.
Sorry to have a word here, but TheATHEiST IS right. I registered some days ago and i had to watch a video telling me that i am a noob and should keep my mouth shut until i really know what i can, should and must say. I try to follow that rule. This forum is really straight over the usual users mind - a forum from developers to developers/experienced users. It really makes me kind of sick to see ppl spamming the whole day their questions (especially into new threads) like in a ****ing AOL newsgroup. Here is no place for this. [/sorry off]
To the thread starter: I damaged my phone 2 days after i got it (around 2 weeks ago). But usually you can just flash and try again. Next time make a backup before - there are tons of possibilities. And read a lot here before acting. That really helps.
So flash again (as suggested already) and follow the steps given.

Please create a CWM flashable file for the I9100

I already provided the link in the original post itself. It's the first of the two links I attached. You call me lazy and you can't even pay attention to stuff.
Besides, I did try one of the methods, couldn't get it to work. I even tried to edit the CWM script, couldn't get through with that too. And that's because I'm no expert in this field. Please try to avoid judging people based on a simple request.

1. I'll let you if there's something i can do about it. There may be a little delay; that's because, there is no i can test it, since I'm not on stock ROM
2. I'm using tapatalk, which always open any XDA link within the app without showing the forum. Therefore there was no way for me to have known that the first link belongs to S3 section except i open it in my browser (which i don't normally do for XDA links).
3. It is NOT my job to help you. I'm only trying to assist and you should respect that.

1. Even if you didn't know it was the S3 section, the post was about a re-odexing CWM script, which was the only relevant part according to my request. So it's quite evident that you didn't pay attention at all.
2. I didn't pull you out from your house and force you to help me. All I did was making a public request and you chose to reply to me voluntarily.
If you weren't capable enough to help, you shouldn't have replied in the first place, rather than passing your expert comments about me.

Wondering if anyone has the same problem. Usually, when you look into your Call Log, you will see your contact names instead of just the telephone numbers. Well, after the latest upgrade to Omega ROM V35, I'm now just seeing telephone numbers after numbers. No more names of my contacts in Call Log. Am I missing some setting, or is there a bug in the ROM?
Okay, a few pointers before I link you to the fix.
1- Read the FAQ when you're installing a new ROM, or an update to that ROM.
2- Search the original thread for the ROM you are using. Literally hundreds of people have had your problem.
Instead of posting a question and waiting for people to answer, you could have run the search yourself, discovered that many people have offered the resolution to your problem, then you could have fixed it and moved on instead of just waiting around.

I found this in the Omega thread. Like I said, search is your friend.
go omega thread page 3914 if not mistaken download no contact name fix zip file and flash
yet, please read the 1st post for the rom thread =_=''
Thanks Bodoma and XeactorZ for your prompt answers. I did try to do a search in the forum, but it only turned up non related answers. Then under the Omega thread, I saw the message that says to look at post 38985. But when I went there, it only show me what's updated in V35. I got desperate, hence my posting. As you can see from my post count, I'm hardly a frequent forum member. Sorry about that.
