its great to have a thread like this, all things in one place. To start off i am looking forward to some rooting tricks which can enable the sdcard to be formatted or behave as internal memory on stock rom. CM 13 does allow that but here i mean stock rom , give a thumbs up if anyone got something:fingers-crossed: to share.

I'm currently watching Naruto Shippuden.
I haven't watched many animes, just few until now:
● Yu Yu Hakusho - when I was kid
● Inuyasha - not fully though, I watched when I was kid as well
● Kuroko no Basket all seasons ( 3 if I remember properly)
● Sword Art Online all seasons
● Hunter X Hunter

Sorry for being off topic guys. As u see there are 11 threads in our j5 roms and kernel forums which have been closed either on OP request or GPL compliant problem or because of warez involvement! This made our forums look really untidy. So what I am asking here is do the forum moderators have the authority of "Deleting" the entire thread? If so then can we do something so that forum looks cleaner?
Edit:
I just downloaded 16 GB source of Pacman rom and setup up my laptop for the build process. So would any of u guys like to work in collaboration with me on this provided u have some knowledge on this source stuff ( i will take help from Ganesh or Nick as well)? Ofcourse it will be after 2 months. Just wanted to ask in advance as i couldn't get my head off this .

You should have posted here, although i mentioned in OP to not post stuff related to development.
I dont know if is possible to delete that threads and i wouldnt suggest that since our forum is not even popular yet. Deleting these threads would make our j5 forum to not look popular.
We got J5 forum because we had some threads with roms & kernel and there were some other threads.
I will report your post in the thread regarding MM warning... because this kind of post lead to more replies which will make the thread more cluttered...
Hey guys.
I have just managed to get myself a new contract phone ! After years of no credit they are giving me a new phone ! I will have the Honour 8 as from Monday !
So my question is, what do I do with this J500FN ?
It's running really well, rooted, TWRP and ZONIK's Performance ROM.
Do I keep it and just use it for helping test ROMs on here ( I like this forum)
Or do I sell it on ?
What do you think ??

Huawei Honour 8 is a nice phone and i see that it has xda forum too. I would say to keep it, sell it or give it to someone from your family or to a developer which is interested to build for this phone (FROM SOURCE !) haha. Its my opinion.
Btw, you shouldnt have quoted KingWilliam post in warning thread....

Thanks for answering.
The Honour 8 is a great phone I'm chuffed to be getting it.
I think I'm going to keep the phone and just use it for helping to test ROMs and yes from scorce if they are available !
I have to use the best these there is and I must say that the one I'm using is about the best that I have used !
I hope that CM13 well be out soon and the RR looks promising.

Yes I think I'm going to keep the J5. I will just use it for testing ROMS on here. I like being involved in this forum and love the development or our android !
Please remember this if you ever do come up with any new roms and want somebodu to do the testing.
I'm chuffed that I'm getting a new phone. I didn't go out to get the Honour 8 they offered it and I had read about it on here.
It's a great phone with loads of RAM and it gets lots of OTA updates. I wonder how long it will be before it's rooted !!
I will let you know how it goes

Henkate, I understand why you have done what you have done
The only problem is that you have stopped the roms that we are using and people ain't gonna be happy with that.
There are alot of people that were using them roms and were waiting for updates.
Your actions ain't gonna make you any friends mate but that obviously don't bother you.
Rules are rules I know but nobody was complaining . I too noticed the warez etc in the ROMs but didn't go report it as we were using the roms and it was making out phones better.
I could understand it more if you was making ROMs from source your self but your not.
I don't think many people are gonna work with you mate.

I may have been short with you, but any regular on this forum will already know that there have been lots of "where has xxxx ROM gone?" threads recently, and the mods themselves have told members that it's not their concern and they should not be creating threads about it.
I'm just sick of seeing the same old rubbish, despite mod requests that it stop. I apologise for being short with you, but I expect users of the forum to follow forum rules.
No offense was meant.
Ok. Thanks too. I'll try another ROM.
But I think the users who follow the threads are deleted deserve some explanations.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Fair comments John.
As I discovered - the hard way - a polite question will always get one further than a rant, whine or trolling.
I also try to follow the caveat that any dev or themer can do whatever they like with their work - they owe us nothing.

Press thanks then, haven't had one for a while - I'm insecure and paranoid...
OT and serious - I see your point, but as you can probably infer from my post above, I disagree when you say we "have the right to receive an explanation".
We don't, in my opinion. An explanation is good, and furthers goodwill, but it's not something the "average user" here can demand.
The most popular themes and ROMs here are popular for a reason - updates, information, no trolling etc. The devs/themers that don't do the above - as is their right - will find less interest in their work. Whether they care or not is entirely up to them.
Ok I agree with you.
But I still think that if you are a regular user (like me) and subscribe to a thread, and suddenly, that topic desappears, you will want some explanation. I searched and only found this thread (which was not created by me).
But anyway, thank you! I've found another ROM and I'll test it.

Ok firstly that is not an official and i mean OFFICIAL facebook page of Samsung. Second Sammy has never said that they are going to release it today. They said Q1. So in fact that could still mean anytime today till end of March. So please before opening threads that are not necessary please do your reading before jumping the gun. And if you really want that ICS so bad go and flash the leaks with modifications in the Android section or use Foxhound or cm9. Thank you and goodnight.
And yes you do deserve a permanent ban for opening thread that is pure garbage and no one cares anymore.

You are saying as if I am trolling over here. I am being a part of XDA for over 6 months now and I never created any useless thread. The only thing is that those pages made us super excited for the march 1.I visit those pages everyday and answer the questions posted by people. Personally, I will never use the samsung's official ICS because of Touch Wiz. I will wait for CM9.

Some pretty unfair responses in here, To be fair the thread is pointless and the OP should have properly researched the subject before posting, that however, does not give you the right to insult anyone.
Play nicely kiddies.
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

That's not particularly true, people don't snap at noobs. (Well, most don't and those wo do are jerks)
People snap when multiple times a day the same question gets asked again and again with usually (more or less) exactly the same wording.
So they snap at lazy people who either don't use the search function at all or give up after 5 seconds... not noobs. Neither of both requires the other.
get over yourself man. it's nature.
Neh, no.
However there should be a FAQ like thread that answers the most common questions, and newcommers must be forced to read it before being allowed to post xD
The last part is more or less meant jokingly but such an FAQ thread is cool.
Many other device sections have such one.
No point having a noob thread they refuse 99% of the time to read it .
Pity their is not a better FAQ and Guide as per the SGS2 for them not to read though .
Noobs or anybody that does not want to work within the XDA ethos and rules and wants it all handed to them on a plate does not belong on this developers forum a Samsung phone forum would suite them better .

I have noticed that people in the q and a section are not posting nearly enough information in their post or title to get the information they need. This causes people to ask lots of questions and delay getting the answer they need. So this guide will show you what you need to include in your post to get the most efficient answer to your question.
We'll start with the Title:
- Please do not just say "HALP, PHONE BROKE" or "HELP" , etc.
- You need to be precise, and describe what you're looking for in your thread.
Next, the information you need to state before you even get into asking your question.
- The make of your phone. There are many different variants of your device. I9100 G/M/P/T
- Are you rooted/unrooted?
- What rom you are using? And which version? -and- What kernel are you using? And which version?
- Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
- Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
- Have you done anything to try to solve your issue? This would be very valuable information.
- Please (if on stock firmware) dial *#1234# and post the results (thanks to fxrb)
Then you can ask your question.
- Do not ask "What rom/kernel/theme is the best?" -or- Something that you have not searched for (it is infact very obvious if you havent)
- Be specific and precise in what you want/need. Do not write a 10, 000 word essay, or a 3 word question.
- Pictures say a 1000 words
Important things to remember:
- Be polite: People never want to help someone who wont appreciate it, or is rude to them. Remember your p's and q's
- Do not bump your thread: It gets annoying and against the rules
This is under construction and will take a bit to include all of the information needed. I know there are lots of more experienced users than I, and would love feedback of what to include. Please do not hesitate to post in the thread or even PM me with information you think needs to be included in this thread.

The thought is nice... but unless this is stickied (and even then), this thread will fall off the first page, and since the vast majority of n00bs (not new members, but "n00bs" - there's a huge difference) won't search, they won't see it.
Heck, there have been dozens of posts since you posted this that have been terribly short of any information.
But I applaud the thought.
You have to think how them noobs operate.They muck up their phone,stick the symptoms in a google search,and want an answer asap.
So they are not going to spend hours reading rules and stickies or use the search function.
I spent a week reading about stuff for the x10i I had before I decided to do anything to it.That way at least I had half an idea what helpers were talking about when/if I got into trouble.
When I joined this forum the s2 looked a lot more complicated and the forum looked a lot more "vicious"(like give that guy 20xlashes since he didnt do a search).
Its a tough world lol

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping eventually happens, it gets stickied.

Yea, but we have to try. At least now we have something to guide them to and for the new people to refer to. If we dont at least have a guide for how to get good answers to their questions theirs no standard.. Now there is
Nice thread
hope users follow this
Doubt many people will take notice of this (for a whole host of reasons; don't get me started), but props for trying (thanked OP).
Edit - Oops. Sorry. So used to giving crap threads on here one star I did it to yours accidentally (intended to give it 5).
+1 to search first before posting.

Yeah, but now we have something to refer the horrible q and a posts that have no info to. And dont worry about the rating... it happens
Do you have anything to add to it? It feels like I''m missing something
Oh absolutely. As I said, good that you've tried, I just don't see it making any difference is all. 90% of people who post here are idiots, that won't change.
No, nothing to add. I think you've covered it well.

in relation to search and read before asking questions...
just wanted to share that I've got a nicely setup dualboot with the siyah kernel, RootBox JB 2.1 as my second rom successfully patched with the autopatcher 1.6 and a fully working pdroid. That's it...
Since i have less than 10 posts I cannot thank the developers in their respective threads (at least that's how i get the message). I think this is my 5th post so I guess i never make it to the developers section because i really don't know what questions i can ask and, answers i could give are all answered...
this must be a "new member" problem rather than a n00b one?
Regards and 1 post closer

Yeah, but don't just get 10 posts just to say "thank you" in the rom Dev section. I van personally say that devs hate this as it clogs up the thread and doesn't add anything to anything. That is why xda has the thanks button, and the devs appreciate that more than saying it. In fact, it you really want to say thank you donate to them. Even if its 1 euro they will be very grateful.

course not it was kind of a semi-sarcastic post, I have more to say than thanks I spent countless hours reading and learning stuff (in general, it is fun after all!) and as far as this forum is concerned (which is really helpful btw!) it's difficult to then act (for the time being!). Example: Somehow I managed to post in a developer's thread 1-2 months ago, first a problem then I found the solution and posted it myself. I then got PMed by someone asking me for help. Only problem is I never got an email notification in spite of having a thread subscription so I didn't bother to check my PMs. As for donating, absolutely.

OK awesome. I'm used to people who just want to say thanks, so I have to mention something like that. But taking a look at your sign up date, of looks like you might be able to post in the Dev section without having 10 posts. I believe if you signed up before a certain date you don't need the posts. And of looks like you might fit in there. I would try it you never know
Edit: but enough off topic

Sadly I agree to everybody believing that this thread will not be read by those who should do so, sorry. However, if by accident just one out of thousand will read it then there will be 'only' 999 bad questions remaining - a small progress.
For this one out of thousand I would like to contribute something to the information section of this thread. For basic information I often ask people to dial *#1234# and post the result. As this thread is in the Galaxy SII forum this should work, at least as long as people are on stock firmware (probably use this conditionally ?).

New On XDA or New With Your S3, Here are few Things You Need To Remember Before Posting in the 'General Q&A section' about your Issues.
Here You See And Learn Many More Things When Your Are New On Xda
A Very Nice Detailed Info By Saywhatt
[HOW TO] make a substantial THREAD, POST, QUESTION and POLL
[GUIDE] HOW TO POST: Understanding the UI in posting
[HOW TO] make a substantial THREAD, POST, QUESTION and POLL
Huge Thanks To Saywhatt For Sharing Knowledge
So Here We Go ,
Well we always do notice that people in the 'General Q&A section' are not putting nearly enough information in their Post and Title to get proper solution to ther issues.
Reasons:
[*] A bad Title like ' plz help', ' urgent', 'phone dead' etc.
[*] No relavent info about the phone Model/ ROM/KERNEL/MODEM etc in there post.
Since insufficient info causes hindrence for members who are willing to help and leads to ask lots of questions from them and the very same(lack of info) will delay getting the solution for you.
So this Guide will show you what you need to include in your post to get the most efficient answer to your question.
We'll start with the Title:
- Just Writing Help , Bricked , Guys Help Me out Wont Be Enough For People Having knowledge Of You’re your Issue To Help You Out.
Provide A Better Title Like
“ I Soft Bricked My Phone “
“ Having Kernel Issues”
- You need to be precise, and describe what you're looking for in your thread.
Next, the Information you need to state before you even get into asking your question.
Dont Start Off Or Just Dont Write 'I Flashed This Rom/Kernel And Cannot Boot Up or Stuck At Logo / Boot Loop plz help' and sit and wait for solution's to pour in for you.
Rather try to provide more basic info like:
- The make of your phone. There are many different variants of your device Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 /G/M/P/T
- What Rom/Kernel/Modem you are using?
- Are you rooted/unrooted?
- Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
- Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
- Have you done anything to try to solve your issue prior to posting the same?
since these would be very valuable information,
which do aid a member who is ready to help with your issue for sure.
Additionally, visual aids like 'Screeen shot' or a small 'Video clip' will help a lot in resolving issue's in a better way for sure.
For people who are with Stock Rom's:
Please dial *#1234# and post the results (thanks to fxrb) if your not sure about the Rom/Kernel/Modem info.
And also adding the relavent info of ROM/Kernel/Modem to ur signature will save time in providing the same.
After You Completed The Above Steps Its Time When you can ask your question.
And do Remember:
- Do not ask "What rom/kernel/theme is the best?" -or- Something that you have not searched for (it is infact very obvious if you havent), since its against XDA rule
- Be specific and precise in what you want/need. Do not write a 10,000 word essay, or a 3 word question.
And Always Remember On Xda The Most Important Rules :
- Be polite: People never want to help someone who wont appreciate it, or is rude to them. Remember your p's and q's
- Do not bump your thread: It gets annoying and against the rules
This is just a begining and will take a bit to include all of the information needed.
I know there are lots of more experienced users than I, and would love feedback of what to include.
Please do not hesitate to post in the thread or even PM me with your valuable inputs you think needs to be included in this thread.
Reserved
and another one if needed
and one more
well its a pretty decent effort from ur end for sure Buddy
now its the people (new Comers) who has to utilize the same in an efficient way
and if its made 'Sticky' by the Mod's, will be more helpfull

A useful guide for noobs but unfortunately as is always the case on XDA it will probably get lost in translation and as usual you'll have people on asking the same usual questions, the only solution as ive said all along is when people register on XDA as part of the sign up process they must tick a disclaimer that they need to use the search function and if they don't and ask noobish questions they get a temporary ban for a week and if after that they persist a full ban, it might sound extreme but as far as i can see this really is the only solution to stop noobs from posting the same questions day in, day out, year in, year out, it seriously has to be implemented, many good people have left XDA from when i first came on here because of noobs and to be honest you can hardly blame them, pretty much every answer noobs want is highly likely to already be on XDA somewhere and can be found via the search function.

first of all this aint the right place to place the questions , did you even read the OP ?
and next thats because there are different varients of s3 and each has its different forums
so choose according to yours, at&t , or whatever your device model is

Bumping means, to move a thread to the top of the forum, with a pointless reply (usually to one's own thread, to promote something or to get an answer to an unanswered question)
