Admin... mods...
Quite a few people of being plain stupid and posting non-dev related question/topics in the dev forum... it's kinda becoming a a mess...
no I don't blame the admin or mods... i blame the ppl doing this stupid thing... HELLO!!! can't u guys see "Development forum" and understand that it's specific to dev stuff???
BTW, if you guys need help with getting ride of crap like this, I'm ready to help!!!
Posts like this are just as annoying..
nothing really you can do to help.
They should change that stickied thread to state, "please post any question threads in the general section." or something like that. What it says now really doesn't mean anything to me.
This is coming someone who was once guilty of this act. As a noob to that forum I thought, "hey a development section, i got a question about development, guess it goes here. "
Its quite easy to see all of them are making this mistake.
They really need to just change it so that completely new threads need to be approved (not posts).

I'm sure the mods would love that idea /s
IMO people shouldn't take offense to a topic being posted in the wrong section. If I have a request for an app section I don't know if that goes in development, themes & apps, or general.
I think the best solution is to create more categories. "Questions/problems" "mods/hacks" "accessories" and maybe one specific to devs where they get some type of posting approval on their profile allowing them to post in a development section.
The categories are far too general to know exactly where every post should go, in my opinion.

Still new to the android phones, but was once new to this forum. For someone who doesn't really know where they're supposed to post it's an easy mistake.
The mods take care of this, trust me. They write in every locked thread and moved thread why it was moved, etc. This is just annoying. To me, this looks more like you are asking to be a mod than anything. But I see your view.
here have a beer and wecome to the club
SO MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT!!
Geez....report the thread and move on...

Yeah, they do... but it's really annoying when someone posts a "how to flash" question in the dev forum... and no, I'm not asking for mod powers [in fact I don't want mod powers]... quite frankly I visit this site just once or twice a day... to busy with demos at work... I just want to know all the ways we can avoid this... anything to help the "super-mods" on this forum... yeah stickies are there... but some ppl just act dumb and don't even bother to read the stickies...

Well. Seeing that you're very new to the forum "28th January 2010" you might as well just get used to it. It's never going to change. Welcome to the internet.

I may be new to this forum... (cuz I got my N1 just around that time... my first Android phone... and I never had any other phones for which this forum has threads.... but XDADev is a trusted, well known name...) I moderated MotorolaFans.com a couple of years ago, before I got too involved with office work, and I did have to deal with this crap there as well.
I guess ppl got the wrong impression from this thread (I think it's my fault, didn't word it correctly). I'm just looking for ways to make the mods' lives a little less frustrating... and to get crap outta the wrong forums ;-).
So basically, this thread was created as a way for you to not so subtly cry out that you want to be a mod. All this after only being on this forum for a few weeks. Gotcha.

Err... hello.... if u read my earlier posts... I said I DON'T want to be a mod... quite frankly, I don't have the time... and I'd land up doing a crappy job... I'm just saying, from personal experience, that a mods job isn't easy... and we, the users, need to contribute to keeping this forum clean...
Let me put this down properly...
1. I don't want to be a mod
2. I'm not doubting or complaining about the mods and the great work they do
3. There are only a few mods and thousands of users (that's some task)
4. We, the users, also need to help keeps things clean
So in short, what can I, as a USER, do to help improve this situation!!!
Will this and AhmgskMod's Cyanogen port work?
Tried it now, works perfectly!
how to flash it?

Just flash the .zip from recovery.
Was it really necessary to create another thread for this?
I already read something about this on the AhmgskMod page, could you use the search feature for future posts please?

I read that, but he just modded the theme. I flashed the whole theme.
Did you manage to flash the 'goodies'? That's where I got caught up.

Dev all you seem to do is have a go at peoples posts, focus on your own agenda, let the moderators moderate....
If you have a problem can you address it to the moderators, not your peers
Thanks))

I swear the people telling people to 'search first' and 'read the rules' are actually generating more spam on these forums than people who just use forums like they were designed for; free, open speech.
If reading peoples' posts upset you so much, maybe you should just buy a copy of PC Weekly and stay off the forums.
Glad to see it isnt only me that feels this
Thats why we have mods isnt it
Cheers H00py

Did this honestly need another thread?
Oh ****! Not another thread about Gingerbread!!!
This is getting so old...
Oh no, not another complaint about another thread!
Relax, it's not like i'm killing trees or taking up space by posting this. I didn't have time to go through the entire forum just to make sure i didn't hurt your feelings. A popup appeared showing possible similar threads, none of them matched, so i submitted it. No need to cry about it.
Thanks.

There are about 5 GB threads on the first page. Maybe you should start a few more because it will do a lot of good for all of us.

To all the complainers, why are you clicking on the threads then?
Mo_Nexus, thanks for the info.
OP, thank you for posting the information. While I wouldn't have created a new thread
myself it still is new news nonetheless so I appreciate it.
Hopefully the mods either lock the excess threads or merge them to de-clutter the forum.

I can understand if the thread title was Google announcing Gingerbread!!!
But it's "Google announcing Gingerbread soon?"
With most thread titles, no one can tell exactly whats in the posts.
Just wait for the thread title "Gingerbread is here!!" and click no others than. Simple.

No problem, and i agree, all existing threads should consolidated or something. Hopefully there'll be no need for that if Google stops teasing us & releases 2.3 already.
Cool dude, thanks for the info and welcome this a public forum and everyone share his knowledge, always here like this, when someone post anything even said hi u will see many of the guys here saying sucks comment. THIS IS JUST HOW IT IS. keep going and when u have something to post don't think a lot, JUST POST, if i want to read i will read if i don't i will leave u just thanks

actually they are teasing with us. they just dont bother their sorry ass to give a proper release date. they just dont even care about to give out an spesifications about the new system. nothing. just some fake news also new screenshots could be fake too. we simply dont know anything about new update. 4 example is the new crappy youtube app staying? what about horrible keyboard?
it just could be stupid update without any new features. also it could be something revolutionary like eclair. but we already knew them BEFORE the eclair released. were just waiting for google's jokes if whole gingerbread is just about some stupid skin and stuff.

Please tell me english isn't your native language, I'll totally understand then. Anyhow Google have 0 commitment to providing us with pre-release info. It's *UNRELEASED* therefore they could deny the existence of GB itself and are completely within their right to do so. These little bits of info like not so secretive tweets are just a bit of fun, surely I'm not the only one who likes the suspense/surprise regarding the lack of GB info?
There are way to many stickies in this section. Does anyone else think we can combine the "thread deleted or locked" "general rules we should all follow" and the "GPL" posts all into one big post.
I vote to sticky this thread.

And while we are at it, we should delete the captivate bible. The last time it was updated was AGES ago. If a moderator is willing to delete it I will repost it (and update it) gladly.
There are just 9 stickies!

Yes, I agree. I was going to make a new one but then I realized that we would have 2 directories stickied for a total of 10 stickies. The old one needs to go so I can make a new one.

Yeah it's missing a lot of info and a lot of what's there is antiquated (though not as bad as that other bible).
A bible by definition is a collection of ancient writings, so perhaps it should be called the hitchhiker's guide or something....
Also the title of the first sticky, "cheetsheet" is incorrect, unless it was intentional for some reason....
use firefox and install this if it really bothers you

Has anyone noticed the new twitter out about an hour ago from both of them saying something revolutionary will be announced later today? The site it links to is revolutionary.io. Just wanted to see if anyone noticed.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=620
sorry if i put it in the wrong place. I didnt see it in general and figured it was a development issue.

From the first sticky on this forum:
"So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?"
my bad. Was not thinking. Can a mod maybe move this to general?

It's all good, and the information was nice to know. You can PM one of our forum mods and ask them to move it, but I have already done such.
Our mods are toastcfh, rolfd, and josefcrist.
