Don't post in dev sections if you need help with something, especially if no-one can understand what your question is or how the can help. Ask in Q&A, you're far more likely to get help there.
If you mean that "3g" does not really work on your device and nothing happens when you try loading a website, i can tell you it IS actually that slow. but JieeHD is right, please post questions in Q&A...
which leads me to one question: how the hell is he able to do his first (!!) post in dev section?! when i joined, there still was some 10-posts-rule...

but how do they do that? i remember there was some sense in it of noobs not posting in dev section, and i hated this rule but later on i saw it was right as you gain a lot of knowledge in the first time...

Yeah its a good rule, keeps the threads cleaner IMO. I know there is possibly users out there that have some useful info to share but its rare. I think we need to ask a mod what's going on, I'll ask pulser when I get the chance.

yeah definately does ;D but i can remember when i first rooted and installed elelinux (it was 0.2 back then ) i noticed some issues but was unable to report them.. and it took until 0.5 when someone noticed and ele fixed.. i think in special situations there should be possibilities to send some pm to a mod , would help to find bugs earlier... especially new users do alot play around and maybe find something we would never have tried?
thank you for asking, keep me up to date would be interested, maybe this is another strange xda-premium thing? were you able to instantly post in dev section with your xda pro app?
greets, S.O.D.
Hey, I'm from the Legend forums, just browsing through, when I noticed this thread.
1) DUDE WTF
2) Yeah, in our forum, there was one instance of a guy with 1 post posting in our NewSense thread. I was confuzzled.
3) I think the OP is wonder if the 3G data usage is somehow connected to the H icon that appears when data is being used. Maybe, maybe not.
Either way, NOOB.

Tbh, as I've heard in IRC, XDA is a mess. Pointless threads popping up all over the place, I think a bit more control is needed Tbh.

Maybe that's why they opened up that Moderator Application announcement I saw a week back.
Hmmm.. I didn't see that, got a link?
Sent from my Hero using XDA Premium App
Although I didn't look hard, I'm not sure where it went. I know it caught my attention the first time because it was a general announcement.
But then after googling the terms in the custom search, there was a moderator opening going on about a year ago today. So maybe that got dug up and screwed over? Anyway, I wasn't interested so I barely looked at the date. Will keep my eyes open though!
FOUND IT RIGHT AFTER I POSTED THIS D:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263
hehe mod announcement already closed again but this doesnt answer how he could make 1st post in dev sections, when i tried having 7 posts it still said "youve got to have at least 10" and denied posting in here...
as from obvious knowledge and status, he's not a mod or admin either. strange. did you find out anything JieeHD?

They do. I went through the process a couple months ago to help someone sign up. It's actually a lot more complicated than when I became a member. It required a captcha and a simple question like "Musical instrument that has several black and white keys" that you have to answer. Then you see the link to the video and a check box saying that you agree to the forum rules and that have read the video.
Unfortunately, there's no way to know if they actually read the forum rules and there is no way to verify that they actually watched the video.
Maybe we should implement a pop quiz before posting a new thread.
What is rule #1 of XDA-Developers?

We have enough stickies. You can include it in your post though.
One of the main problem with stickies is that a lot of people use the XDA app to log on and search.
However most don't check the stickies tab at the top so they don't even see them when they search the forum. That's why at least 75 percent of the "noobs" post their questions that have already been answered. Seriously! Next time check to see if you notice a "Sent from my _____ using XDA App"
Hell... there's one in this very page! No offense to ebatr8 or anything I'm just proving my point that a lot of people use it. Unfortunately it's my belief that a lot of them use it as their primary source to log on. So a lot of content is missed because of it. And don't think that I don't check ip addresses! When I see someone with a stupid question I check two things:
1. Do they have a history of asking stupid questions?
2. Have they asked that stupid question multiple times?
3. Are they from another country? Sometimes the language barrier makes things difficult so I tend to have more patience.
4. I check the ISP of the person.
Now let me pick on ebatr8 just real quick. Don't take it personal or anything... but looking at your ip address you have "or.wavecable.com." What is that? Also.... I'm assuming you're using your home wireless network. So is it safe to assume that you also have a PC at home that you just don't feel like using? I'm not trying to pick on you or anything I'm just trying to see the appeal of that stupid XDA app. I use it when I have to but I would much rather have a PC. Maybe that's just me though.
That video is too funny. Thanks for sharing.

Well, the title of the post says it all
1 - Is there a cydia app like for android? Or all of the tweaks and stuff are only on the web and on Market (Google Play)?
2 - Is there a way to show my company carrier logo on the statusbar?
3 - Can I, through any method, change the display app name, in appgrid? Not in homescreen.
4 - Why if I dial *#7465625# nothing shows up? Depends of the ROM?
5 - Any way to have a better adjustement of the volume without depending on apps like Fime Volume Control?
6 - Any way to make the brightness minimum lower without depening on apps like ScreenDim?
7 - Any way to put a youtube video in video popup mode?
8 - Is there a tweak to put internal storage in mass storage mode? I know the one for external.
9 - How can I have a total control of the background app? I have tried advanced task manager, but as soon as I kill one process, for example Brower, it comes back itself within seconds. How can I control autostars of apps?
10 - Can I remap the buttons? For example, for a customize action when I long press the home button.
11 - How do the themes and mods work? On the iPhone the themes were images in folders, and the system images were in certains paths, so if I wanted to change something I just needed the correct path, even to make my custom images. How does all that work on android?
12 - How do I customize keyboards? Just installing new ones? Is that the only way?
Before answer me, please note, I am NOT a total noob, I perfectly know what root is, just like I know stock, CWM, and all of that. I have a custom ROM. I know about the system, I'm just new to it and because of that I dont' know where certains things are.
Thanks and sorry if anything is bad written, but english is no my native language.

Bumping is against the rules .
But using the search is not .

I'm going to try and answer your questions as much as I can.
1. Since each phone has its own specific mods and utlities there is no "universal app" like Google Play or Cydia. However there are a few apps for SGS3 like the Omega kitchen Files app (Play Store) and Kitchen Pro app which is locked to CheckRom.
2. This might be what you are looking for. https : //play .google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.infonetservice.phono
3.https : / /play. google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.guardam.AppNameEditor&hl=en App Name Editor on Play Store.
4. AFAIK some ROMs remove that "utlity"
5. AFAIK no but lets see what someone else has to say.
6. Same as 5
7. You could use a youtube downloader. There are plenty in Play store. I dont know of any other way.
Google and XDA have a ton of anwers if you search. This is not kindergarten
I'm terribly sorry about the bumping. I won't happen again. But then, how are people going to see my post if it goes under page 2 or 3?
Greatnesss, you have give me solutions for questions 1, 2, 3 and 4. Thanks very much.
About questions 5 and 6, let's wait for others and see.. I have seen something about the volume in this forum, some mod, but it was tooo complicated. I even tried it, but with no result.
About question 7, I mean to watch youtube in popup video, but live, not to download the video first (I like to watch long duration videos and sometimes I want to put them in an external mini-window to browse something at the same time, for example).
I still have no answers to questions 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Sorry, I forgot to number them :S
Thanks to all. You have help me a lot.

There are those who want to be spoonfed. I don`t do that if they don`t do anything to find an answer, also rule #1 XDA Search Google and XDA before posting a question!
Believe me, I have search with no luck. Maybe I don't know the keywords or something. I had been looking for a week for an app or something to change app names with no result. Maybe I am an idiot, really, but believe me, I had like 100 questions and now I only had a few. A few I coulnd't find an answer to.

I think the problem your running into here is everything works differently than what you are use to in Apple products, most people here are Android addicts so they might not understand what cydia does, here is different its wide open instead of an app adding the correct files you do it yourself in adb and moding apks. There's a lot to read here if Apple was your starting point, there's much more that you can do with Android and everything you asked about is possible with some reading and time.
Good luck man, welcome to the community of unlimited options and opportunity.

I'll go a step further though, I'll contact devil when I get home and spend some time on gtalk to answer everything I can and you won't be offended that I came to the forum you obviously own, I'm sorry man.

When 1 person asks a simple question and the Mods close a whole thread. This person just wanted to know if a piece of software that is available in the Google Play Store worked on a ROM or not. We all know it is not burned into any ROM but just mention the name and all common sense goes out the window.

I was the one who asked the question, I am new to this device and I've never used / had no idea at all what "C.D." is, or the drama involved at all. Just got this device last week.
I noticed that it said in the op it was removed and saw that it was available on the market. Just wanted to know if it was removed because it didn't work or something before I possibly purchased it. Sorry guys (esp hawknest and snuzzo). I feel really stupid now for asking a simple question about something that I didn't know that I am not allowed to ask about and had absolutely no background information on the drama surrounding topic ~sarcasm~
Maybe I should have used the search function first ;O(

i work 100 hours a week and have 210k in debt. i dont have a porsche and never will. not all doctors are like the media portrays.
