okay, i don't want to sound like a jerk, and i know a lot of you are excited about your new phones, but you guys are making a mess of this place. there are so many threads getting posted up about the same thing over and over, and in the wrong sections, it is getting a little ridiculous. and, your bad habits encourage other people to do the same thing.
there are some rules around here, and you should have all read them
1) post in the right section. here is a description for you
A. general is for general information. you have something to share? post it there.
B. q&a is for those of you that are having problems. have a question, ask in the question section (make sense so far?)
C. wanna discuss accessories? guess where you do that? if you said the accessories section, you're right.
D. development is for people that are doing the coding. it is not for people to ask questions, or to hear about some new thing you heard about. see A and B
E. theme and applications. you want to find/share a theme? an application? this is the place to do that.
2) the most important thing you can learn here? USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. chances are that someone else has had the same problem you have had, and there is a thread about it. LOOK FOR IT. we don't need umpteen hundred threads about the same thing. it gets old, and makes this place cluttered, and impossible to actually manage. why is the same question getting answered over and over and over ? more importantly, why is it being asked over and over and over?
we are a community, and everybody needs help, or can help, or something, but nobody here deserves to be spoonfed everything. do a little footwork yourself. if you can answer a question, awesome, do it. you have a question, look for the answer before asking it.
please
thanks

Thread stuck.
Hopefully there should be some mods with EVO's or better Android knowledge than this Win Mo FanBoi .
EDIT: also deleted all posts between #1 and Jus10o's so that it gets better visibility as it is a good thread also.

Please do not use this thread to bump your post count up, just so you can post in Development threads.

I am the recent owner of an 8525 and I haven't had a pda since my hadnspring prism back in the day. I know I will have a plethora of questions so I thought before I crushed the server with all my posts I would say howdy!
Howdy!
:-D
Before you get shown the door.. Before you post your plethora of questions, R*E*A*D the WIKI and S*E*A*R*C*H the forums for answers to your questions!
Oh, and HI, Welcome! Just please.. Don't be a ****wit.. We have enough of those already

Welcome
Many questions you may have will hopefully have been answered already. On this forum we have a search facility on the brown bar above and there's a google search on a sticky also above.
There are also links to the Hermes Wiki for more established information.
Enjoy
Cheers

I guess I should have said i don't plan on being a knob. I try to reserve questions to those I can't find answers for. I am a fairly technical guy so I know how it is to be asked a ton of rtfm type questions. <3

Can we calm the language and flaming here folks.
@OP, development is not the correct place to post such a question, and posting it to appear as a ROM is misleading to say the least, bordering on trolling.
Please ask questions in the Q&A or general forum after using the search feature to ensure it has not already been asked previously.
@All, Please take a look at the XDA rules regarding language and personal attacks at This Page, particularly that of rule 2. Personal attacks will not be tolerated, likewise with such uses of profanity.
Regards
Pulser
It would be good to have this thread deleted, as is it is FALSE and the OP just played a mean joke. I don't believe it is fair to everyone to calm down flaming, yet leave the thread open.
Have cleaned this thread and moved it to General. Also changed the title to make it less misleading.
To the OP,
Maybe you should give a little thought to what you post and how you post it in future.
Thanks
WB
I don't see the point in allowing this thread to continue.
OP, please refrain from misleading people around here. Honestly it's not funny!. Thread locked
im new on this forum, well i was wondering witch android is better, the linux or froyo? i just got my hd2 from tmobile and i want to make it a android phone. also can any one help me out on what i need to do to install android on my hd2???
oh no you didn't!!!!!!!
You should really have posted this in general Android discussion, this forum is for develpment of Android.
But you just need to hard SPL your phone, and follow the instructions posted in the stickies. Not going to bother posting it as it's very easy to find pinned at the top of the forum. Also you will probably want an Evo or Desire based build but that's as far as I can help you, everything else is sort of trial and error.

this should help you
This is getting as bad as the G1 forum

I kinda feel bad for how much your about to be owned...
The fist few threads in the General forum explain everything you need to know, and pretty much every build has individual instructions.
Simple answer in there is no 'best android'. Each build will suit everyone differently. Look at the features of each one a pick one you think will suit. You'll probably need to flash a new radio and ROM before hand... spend some time reading and try to get familiar with the whole process.
The best one is the one I use

Do not answer these threads seriously. If anyone wants to install Android then they will read the instructions that have been there forever or do a google search for one of the million pages out there. It's one thing to help someone who is using their own mind to think. It is something completely different to help someone who expects you to do the thinking for them.
In short, dont encourage this behavior by responding to these threads with a serious answer. He violated forum rules by making this thread.
thread closed buddy,
Find the build that fits you best.
I posted a thread here yesterday about a new arc s...
Seems to have disappeared.
It had useful information in it...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Maybe a mod found it being unuseful.

Haha, its long gone!
nevermind, you live and learn.
Maybe a mod could resurrect it in the Q&A forum? Apologies if I posted in the wrong section.
I experienced the same problem as you today.
I posted a thread, being sure it was in the right place. I found the thread was deleted today - no notification, no movement, no help. I am now unsure where to repost.
I had to email the webmaster to find out the mod who did it - Draken Korin. Draken, did you delete snes_fan's post too? It would be really useful if you could explain to us in future so we can learn.
Guys, it's as simple as reading the rules.
And just because I feel like it, I'll make it even easier for you by helping you understand why your threads were trashed.
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So if there were already other threads regarding the same or similar topic, yours was obsolete.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These: "??????" or "PLEEEEEEEEEEASE HEEEEEEEEELP" are not acceptable titles for a new thread. Summarise your issue and then elaborate in the OP, plain and simple.
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You have a question? Go to the Q&A section, SEARCH for an answer (yes ducklings, you have to do some reading. I know you might feel bored, but you'll only learn if you READ instead of bombarding the forums with new threads). Then and ONLY then, if you found no other issue like yours, start a new thread.
I don't see why you need more guidance on these matters.
They are pretty self-explanatory.
Here is a visual aid too:
couldn't have said it better myself
as an addendum though

The idea is you read BEFORE you post then there certainty where a thread will go. We are not going o notify you of a threads deletion or reasons why or help you any further than the sticky threads that we write. as this is molly coddling. and i simply do not have the time.
I you believe im a horrible person because of my views on this matter feel free email me with your concerns.
thread closed
Well, this is the general thread.
We can talk about stuffs apart from development, its features, software, apps, etc., too.
So, I create this thread on the jokes/trolls on the Samsung Galaxy S III.
Any other trolls are welcome.

"The clutter of extra threads in the General section is really annoying so let's keep the extra talk here!"
I really meant that. There are too many extra threads here. (>_>)

Alright sir.
I have requested the moderators to remove my thread.
I will have to follow rules..
Didn't understand this quite well.
All i understood was we could posts anything in the general forum about the phone apart from questions.
I'm sorry.
This won't happen again.
