Please be gentle with me...I've had this new app idea for about six months and there's nothing like it. It would be a great step forward for navigation but I don't think I can do it all in my own. Let's just say it would involve a lot of big companies finding a way to collaborate there resources for the bettering our lazy mind.I'd appreciate any suggestion and I'll look into the whole NDA (non disclosure) approach. Thank you again for your time. I swear, it's on of the last ideas that have yet come into fruition.

Moving to Q&A
My bad, thanks for moving it to the right place.

Being a bit of a newb myself. I wondered if anyone agrees that there should be at separate Q&A for noob (novice) questions only.
Therefore more experienced users can filter out stupid questions that even I think is ridiculous. Leaving the Q&A for real problems, rather than simple and stupid questions like "how do I flash a new modem" etc. I propose this idea in all platforms and models.
I felt as a true noob, some time ago that people are very quick to snap at noobs. Leaving them feeling like quitting and giving up. As a community member I feel this is an issue. Having a Q&A for noobs I hope would not leave noob questions unanswered.. just only given advice from willing and helpful members. Leaving experienced or dare I say selfish user the freedom they desire, and the noobs that extra bit of support.
After all, this is a community and we are "supposed" to be helpful. And we all started without any knowledge atall. I am eager to hear your responses.. both noobs and pro devs.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thank me if you agree or better still, post your thoughts. Thanks for your patience in reading my rant

I don't think it's in the intrests of XDA to segregate people, and brand them as "noobs" just because they are new. I've seen alot of new users learn very quickly and become very respected developers

To be honest most ppl brand themselves as noobs. I feel I am learning very quickly, currently learning java. Some people just don't have the patience. Can't be bothered to search. As I have learnt in my experiences that you have to be very patient and start all over again often. As for people who don't search.. that's just pure laziness. Ah well the strong will prevail..

There's a difference between being "noob friendly" and catering to the minority of what is already a minority. Let's not forget XDA's origins as a DEVELOPER site. The directions provided by devs are almost always complete enough that anyone willing to put in 5 minutes worth of effort to use the search button is able to figure it out.

I agree that we shouldnt be spoon feeding people. I have gathered knowledge in android and developing massivly over the past few weeks. And i have xda to thanks. Already a senior member and learnt so much more than what i could have ever imagined.
Android is the future! And xda is playing a big part in molding its future. So a massive thumbs up!
I did however encounter some very rude members how could have easily directed me to the rules sticky. We do not need noob Q&A. We jus need to give polite gentle nudges in the right direction, if they are just plain lazy...
Throw em in with the pack of bitter xda "originals" for all i care. as they are branding xda as a "fix my fone" forum. Not as what i hear it was back in the day..

Not ashamed of the word cause everyone has to start off somewhere.
Yes I am new to android development and i really could use some pointers.
I have 0 experience with Java ... and i am trying to learn the easy way at least to get me started.
i've heard of a product thats supposed to make things super easy called "Livecode" ... its supposed to be multi-platform and they just released their android version of the product.
please make recommendations / advise.
thank you.
One thing that helped me was the newboston tutorials on youtube

Thanks for the reply, DROIDRAZ.
The thing is i am not too keen on learning java at the moment. That would consume so much time.
I think something like livecode would be a good solution for my current situation.
So before i go and purchase livecode is there anything else like it that you guys may recommend?
I've learn quite a few from newboston YouTube video, as well as from Stackoverflow.
And we have our own forum user creating easy tutorials with explanation for us ->

Live code would be harder

Hi guys, I've been playing around with the Pegususq governor in setcpu this past while and have gotten pretty good results of which I will post as a soon as I'm happy with them but I'm not quite sure how the hotplug part works, I understand the concept but not sure about the settings and since our phones have 4 cpus, it make thing more confusing.
I've looked at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
And I gives a pretty go explanation of Pegususq but not the hotplug part.
So my question is what do all the settings do (with regards to our quad core devices).
Also if possible, if someone knows of literature other than the above could they please point me to it.
Thanx a bunch
There are not four CPU's. There is one CPU with FOUR cores.

Your pedantic post is pointless. But I'll edit my post because my error obviously has a critical effect on my question even though I correctly mentioned it further on in the post.
Well you brackground makes you a noob. I was correcting you. You were wrong, get over it. I dislike when people go about spreading wrong information. I dont use any special tweaks or kernels. Stock everything for awhile so I don't know the tweak names or settings name. Cant help you there until i do it. I dont give information i know is wrong. So i am not gonna give you false information until i test stuff.

Your grammar makes you an idiot. So are we even then?
So if you stated that you don't know anything about what I'm asking then why are you posting? Who's the noob here?
Well no I am not a noob. You can look at my XDA history. You are one of those people who thinks this is a support forum. XDA is NOT a support forum. It is (was/supposed to be) a developers forum.
No a NOOB is defined as-
1.) Someone who constantly asks for help with the most simplest things. IE. Root/flashing/stupid questions.
2.) Someone who constantly disregards the rules and feels entitled to do and say as they want.
3.) A novice or new user who is too lazy to read the over simplified rules/guides/and instructions given directly too them by other members.
I don't know about all the kernel governors, tweaks, schedulers, ROM/kernel features. I do know how to build kernels and ROMs. I do know to search before I ask because it has most likely been answered. So do you see? I am not a noob.

Look, READ my first post kid. I was asking a question with the hope of aiding development because on I9300 some people still experience lag. You can see that I've searched and I don't have a bricked device so I don't need help with the simplest of things. Your little meter doesn't impress me so why don't you stick to your own phones platform and have another big Mac you condescending yank.
First off i have an international s3 too. I am done here though. Not gonna argue with someone who is just here to argue.

You two kids are funny, but you'll be signaled to mods as your posts are violating xda rules.
And by the way xda is not only a dev site, or you wouldn't have learnt all the little you know.
And mister second post, if you don't bring an answer to the question, please don't answer, you'll save our time.
Everyone shut up.
Thanks.
Can someone point me in the direction of the kt747 kernel that Beanstown refers to under the notes section for his Jelly 'Beans' - Build 5 [07/10/13]Perfection and Stability I545VRUAMDK ROM. I was able to find one thread with links to download it but wasnt sure which one I needed. Much appreciated!
Wrong section to be asking and you'll find it by looking for a few minutes.

Right..... But because I cant post in any other section I was pretty much forced to post here.. I found what I figured I was looking for before I created this thread, but there were two options. So really just looking for someone to lend a hand, not be a prick! Thanks buddy!

Lmfao. That's like calling a cop a prick for giving you a speeding ticket when you were speeding. I told you that you posted in the wrong section because you did. There are rules on this forum. Also, you don't need to post at all to find what you're looking for. Hell, you don't even need to be on this website. Don't come around here expecting things to be handed to you. Look who else even attempted to "lend you a hand." Be happy with what you got. People need to learn how to do things on their own which is why a lot of us encourage that. If you see that as someone being a prick then I feel bad for you. I got 99 problems and knowing how to search before asking questions isn't one. You're welcome.
