I started a thread in the General off-topic forum... Wondering if any of you guys wanted to contribute, because it's not really just for me, everyone can get something out of this information.
In short I'm asking for a list of some/all/whatever RSS / podcast feeds you subscribe to, with your phone or with your PC.
The original thread is posted above and below, if anyone wants to contribute. Thanks for your time!

What is best for me may not be for you. Said that, thread closed
Anyone know how to sort the problem of Facebook (and Skype) renaming contacts on my phone?
When you join a Facebook contact up with a Google contact it will choose the Facebook name over the Google contact name in my contacts list.
For example:
Google contact name: Joe Bloggs
Facebook name: Joe RandomName
It would then rename my correct Joe Bloggs to Joe RandomName in on my phone contacts.
It is driving me mad. It does not make the change when I log into Google contacts online as it still shows as Joe Bloggs but not on phone.
Surely you should be able to choose the correct Google name over some random Facebook name. Damn Touchwiz

No need to be abusive!
This is a forum where people ask questions. I did perform a search and found no answer hence my question - I have been on this forum since 2007 so I know how it works.
Furthermore, your response was useless. I am well aware that I don't have to sync my contacts with Facebook but I want to for many reasons.
And, whilst you are on the subject of giving me tips on how to use this forum please use proper English and not abbreviated text / SMS type chat that a 10 year old would use. This would help when people like me are searching for answers to such questions.
Thank you and have a good day!

That is some good advice since I know how hard searching can be. For example one time I was searching for info I know was in one of the 12,000+ post rom threads a month after I read it. I searched for over a hour in that thread but never found it becuase the person had bad spelling and abbreviations.
How bad is that when I know for a fact the info in on this forum in a specific post but can't find it because I am not capable of remembering the persons atrocious spelling.
That is just one example of the many searches that have failed because of the same problem.

Hi,
I just installed the Flashing Droid Custom ROM on my GT-I9300. Strangely im not able to post on the thread related to that ROM. So i'm posting here.
Well I find that I'm unable to access any of the widgets like the default contact ones, google search ones etc... Secondly, is worth over clocking the device? I just use it call, text, facebook, instagram etc..
Thanks

It's not strange at all that you can't post there. It's part of the guidelines for XDA. Members with less than 10 posts are not allowed to post in the those Development forums - which is why the have the Q&A section for your particular phone for you to ask specific questions about it and you can post in. But as far as the rom goes, not too sure. It's either because it's using the S5 apps or it's heavily debloated or both.

Thanks mate! I switched to CM11. That works well for me.
Hello fellow more experienced rom devs,
I have been looking through the guides on how to develop my own rom. Let me briefly explain what I want to do:
I would like a ROM that has only 5 apps: calls, text, Google Maps, Youtube Music, and the camera.
No Google Play Store, no web browser, no search, no option to sideload apps, etc.
Myself and a several peers are looking to disconnect. But why go by something like the light phone or punkt or a dumb phone when our current phones have everything we need, but we would like to limit their functionality.
I have two questions. How hard of an undertaking would this be for a noob to develop a rom like this?
Is there some sort of ROM already that can be customized to fit this criteria?
Thank you,
