I went ahead PMed a mod so we could clean this place up. By now, you've probably noticed all the old stickies are gone. We now have Sticky Wikis -- yay. I already added all the original stickies into the the new sticky wikis.

Great job, I had also posted an open message in the General section ( a thread to ask open questions directly at mods). I added the section for kitchens, because although there's only one item, it is a very usefull one and kitchens will get busy as soon as we have the kernel. Great job community as I know lots of other people put in their request and contributed to the creation of this wiki

Only happy to help guys, its what this community is all about right?
As i said, any suggestions for future wiki pages, post in those two threads, im subscribed so i'll check in now and again.
See ya around

Massive props!

I dont own an Evo yet, but im not new to android. I come here for a friend that is very new to android and I like to help. I understand this is a new phone so many people are flocking to it. But I honestly cant believe how many people are posting things in random places. The development thread looks like the general section. Its hard to even find what im looking for.
I know many mods are on it. But the rules of this site (stating what i said above in a professional manner) need to be stickied on all 5 threads for the time being. Hoping it cuts down on useless threads and cluttering of (personal opinion) the development thread.
I was going to post this in the dev thread, hoping people would read it. But i figured it would be hypocritical since this inst dev related.

Second post on the same topic.
No offence, but I'll stick the other one .

We Need

We need either more moderators or some people with more time on their hands. No offense to any current moderators of the Droid 2 section or anything, but this place is ridiculously cluttered and unorganized. People asking questions in development or the theme/app section should be posted in the general chat or within the same topic of the subject of their question. People in the development section posting multiple topics every time they update their ROM, the amount of topics and confusion could easily be cut down tremendously. If you go to any other phones development section on XDA, you see that everyone just updates their first post. Don't worry about your post count or people not noticing that you've updated, they will notice it.
Figured I should post this, because there are a ton of unneeded and misplaced posts.

For reference...

I know who the current moderator is, but he isn't taking care of our section. It needs to be cleaned, hence the nature of my topic.
I'm also not trying to attack him/her in anyway, as you can tell from the link you posted they oversee A LOT of sections, and that's a lot of work for one person.

That wasn't meant just for you, not everyone knows how to find that info.
You should probably PM Captainkrtek to start with. That seems like the politic thing to do.

[Twitter] An account to follow to be kept up to date on SGS2 Dev releases

Hi Everyone,
This is basically a repost, but I thought it would be more relevant here than the other forum I posted in.
I keep pretty up to date on things about our phone, so a few days ago I started a twitter account to announce various kernel and ROM updates that get released on this site (and some others), and to also tweet about various interesting development stories I hear about.
At the moment I'm only posting about the more popular releases so as not to spam too much, but if you think I'm missing anything please let me know! Check it out:
[size=+1]@SGS2Kernels[/size]
I hope this can be useful to some people

Dude, firstly this is a dev forum for developments, not for people to plug their twitter pages. If people are not allowed and warned for creating question topics about developments in here what makes you think it ok to post a topic plugging a twitter page?
Second, why would we visit your twitter page when we can visit our own dev forum and get the news quicker and in more detail?
Third, why use twitter at all, a blog like wordpress would be much better for what you doing.
[Edit] Been moved to general now, so all ok.

hi there,
regarding thread placement: i believed this "service" was pertinent exactly to people who read the development forums. i know if i read it i would use it (hence why i created it myself), and i personally don't read the general forums. sure it doesn't have any actual development creations, but it's directly related to the development topics in this forum. I think "you" are probably leaning a bit too much towards the letter of the law than the spririt, which is a shame.
regarding the rest of your angry post: my apologies, i failed to realise that you speak for everyone. i will start using the internet exactly as you suggest, again sorry for doing things wrong

Six Rom PSA with fix

I woke up today to people hating me because I posted the SIXRom link on XDA. 1st of all I am sorry about that. I thought I was actually doing a favor but now it seems like the rom is down and a guy on youtube is saying I am a d*ck because it was my fault. I looked a the xda rules and I did not find anything saying that it was not allowed. Also it was going to go adventually down but I am not trying to put the blame on anyone. I am writing this to say sorry to all the people and to hopefully tell the guy who posted this youtube video Tanksteel Edit - people in the Android 8.0 thread can post this link but I can't? to stop telling everyone to blame me and that I am a d*ck because I am really not, I was just trying to help people on xda. I am also saying this so no one else makes this mistake and hopefully the sixrom dev will put the link back up.
Sincerely,
Tanksteel

@Tanksteel Most people here are grateful for your intentions so don't take it all too personal. Have a read here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/general/thread-t3603186
Posting someone else's work in the development section without even asking them for permission makes the development hard to follow and not really kind toward the author of the development. The developer already has a thread in the development section. He would release it there. Creating a new thread where he does not have control will summon noobs with millions of questions which would be hard to track. Either way, remember to always ask for permission before posting anything on XDA if the work is not your own and if it's not your own and you have gotten permission then it belongs in the General section and not in the development section.
As I said, your intentions were good and forget about what has happened here and just look forward ?
