[Q] don't we need a dedicated "QUESTION & ANSWERS" sub-forum???? - LG Optimus Black

i think we need to have a dedicated Q&A sub-forum.
the threads are often over-populated and answers 2 small questions cannot be asked there, and given the fact that they are "small", they can't be privileged 2 populate the general forum either. so, according to me, a dedicated "Q&A" sub-forum is a potential solution. wat do u all think????'
BTW, i wanted 2 know if i can flash the NOVA 09 Kernel on the stock 2.2.2 ROM???...
answer pleaseee!!!!

Asking a question? Do it in the Q&A Section! This is the development section...

Please ask questions in THIS thread
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION,This just proves how stupid you are.
For general information go here - [REF] ALL ROMS | ROOTING | FAQ's | STICKIES | POSTING RULES - Read before posting
For Question and Answers go Here
Looking for a specific answer? use this tool
To be continued.....
I wonder if the amount of questions (in development) will decrease if we had a Q&A forum like the other devices...

It probably would! Often people ask a question about rooting, roms etc and think they should put it in development if they don't realise the rules, so a Q&A section would help with that. Not sure if its possible though, I don't even know who would be responsible for it.

I already tried to contact our moderator here both about this mess and about the one in DS section, but so far no answer I guess they are super busy...
I posted in the Site's forum and got someone to sticky this in the meantime! ^_^
Might be a good idea to change this thread, since we now have a Q&A forum
official Roms
hi
thanks for your good job for legend.
i want to ask you question about official Rom that you prepare for legend, what is the basic and mainly different between these 4 official rom?
my legend build number is "3.30.466.6 CL326573 release-key" and with this software number: "3.30.466.6", so what is the different between my ROM and those 4 ROM that you prepare?!!!
thanks for your response
What?! Why is that in this thread?!
If you need to contact someone personally, PM them, there's no rules against that. If you need to discuss something on-topic, find the suitable thread and discuss/search/or if necessary, revive it!
IF YOU NEED TO ASK A QUESTION, THIS REALLY ISN'T, ISN'T, ISN'T THE RIGHT PLACE TO DO IT.
AND THAT WAS THE WORST POSSIBLE KIND TOO. This thread here is STICKIED to inform how and where to ask a question. PROPERLY. It's clear that you haven't read the OP. At all.

There are instructions everywhere on how to flash it. Also, thats an old version, the new KJ3 released today
step 1. dont post questions in dev forum
step 2. ???
step 3. profit
I'll get straight to the point....
Despite stickys and forum announcements most of us are still finding ourselves becoming terribly, terribly vexed at the amount of [Q]'s cluttering the dev section...
Therefore, from now on, if you do not follow the rules outlined below, you will be infracted. Break them again and you may find yourself unable to post anything at all on any forum!!
[Q]Surely thats a bit harsh aint it??
[A]Not really....
We've tried to be nice about it but that clearly doesnt work.
If you cannot read and abide by the simple rules in this sticky then I dont know how you're going to manage to hack your device without running into trouble.
The Dev section is NOT for asking questions.....
The Dev section is NOT for general topics..........
All threads posted MUST be prefixed with a description of the thread, [ROM] / [Kernel] etc etc.....*
*(Not planning on being particuarly strict on this. You guys (the devs), know how to title a thread.... just a pointer for new devs.)
Basically, unless your thread is to actually release something or discuss something of a very technical and n00b unfriendly nature, it doesnt belong here!
Pretty simple really.....
If you see something that shouldnt be here then PM me....
I will try to check in as reguarly as I can but I have a few sections to keep an eye on and believe it or not, a life outside XDA
Yes thats right, there is life outside XDA

This is a direct quote from the sticky at the top of this forum. Read around before you post. This would have been received much better in the Q&A Forum. Because its a question. And nowhere close to a development.
Thread locked. xCRZYx, post your question in the Question and Answer forum. This is development only.

[Q] Cifs Manager / nls_utf8.ko / CM10(Invendor)

Hello
i have a small problem and i need your help.
I have installed CM10 (Invendor Alpha5) on my I9001
I have mounted a NAS drive with Cifs Manager.
It works fine but i have a Problem with the german letters like ä,ö,ü
I have read that i can load with the CIFS Manager the Module nls_utf8.ko (one file from the Internet)
It will not work.
Perhaps i have the wrong module. Can someone tell me where i can find the correct one, or is there a other way necessary.
Thanks

(Q) 4.2.2 Touchwiz on N7000..

Hi. I'm a noobi and I posted this q at the wrong forum(general) earlier and the respons was not very nice..
I've wondered about this q a while and have not found any topics anywhere.
Q. (this is not a reqest! Please don't jump the guns)
It would be cool with a TW 4.2.2 rom on the Note. And I know that Samsung haven't released any for it yet. But I wonder. Why wouldn't it be possible to modify a f.ex. S4 TW 4.2.2 rom to work on the N7000? After all here are plenty of custom (aosp?)4.2.2 roms. And people do customize TW 4.1.2 roms.. I'll idmit I don't understand the difference.. I'm only a f...ing noobi and haven't found any writings on just this.

Opening a new thread for the same question again after you got answers there already isn't necessary. So why not read your thread in General again and accept the answer: "No"

Since you ask. Because I only ment to ask in the proper forum.
Maybe it was not necessary, but is that up to you to decide?
It was not only an" if" question, but also a "why" question and I didn't get any proper answer, only sarcasm.
Why don't you read article 2.3 in the forum rules?
I was not trying to waste your time or annoy anyone or disturb or clutter your holy forum. I was just trying to learn a little. Thought it would be a legit question.
Now I have learned it was not and I will apologize to all of you and for draging this out.
I am so sorry!
(and I apologize for my poor english too)
To the mods: Please delete this thread too. Maybe I have one or two other threads. Will you be so kind to erase also those.
I am not worthy.

Is their a way to filter / Block the QA Bot Posts

Who come up with this QA Bot post ?
it's useless Clutter to the Q&A Section ... The Developers almost never come here so why the QA bot post ?
This area is managed by fellow users and a few friendly developers, you know who you are .
So who come up with the QA Bot idea ? Developers or the Moderators ? Just curious
Agreed!! It's getting kinda annoying now [emoji35]

What I don't understand is why Q&A are still allowed in the main discussion section of DevDB threads even if a Q&A "bot" thread exist. Look at ARHD DevDB main discussion for example, there are still tons of questions asked and answered there every day even if there is a Q&A bot thread here in the "One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" section... I can't disagree when you're saying its's useless clutter.
I understand that the purpose of this change is to make the questions more visible so pple can answer them even if they are not following a DevDB project. This is also to help devs keeping their thread clean by moving the "q&a" part from the main discussion to another location, but this is not working...
So my question is: Are Q&A still allowed in DevDB discussion? If yes why? If no, why members are not redirected to these new Q&A threads?
Thanks for any answer (moderators) :good:

Well having read that thread I see and understand what there hoping to achieve. And for newer development threads I can see the benefits.
But It does seem a bit messy at the moment for threads that have already been running for some time. Taking ARHD again as an example. The main Rom thread is already vast, with an answer for almost every possible question posted multiple time's. How many times can you post "you can't install this Rom with CWM"
But still just a few posts away find "now my phone won't boot, I used latest cwm which works fine with suchandsuch Rom"
Now it has a new Q&A thread where the same questions will continue to be asked by newcomers to the Rom and then answered probably by the same bunch of helpful users. You know who you are . So you make a good point here @alray. Will development threads now be monitored and have all non development related questions moved to the appropriate Q&A?
Putting a link in the main dev thread simply won't work. Let's face it most users don't even read the first page of a Rom development thread before flashing a rom. That's why we see so many repeated questions.
As I say I can see what there trying to do. And if it works I can definitely see the benefits. But to make it work will take a lot of time and effort maybe. (not that I know much about the moderation of forums or forum admin tools, maybe it can be automatically policed some how ) :dunno:

Principle is good but not correctly integrated to the forum imo. They should add some sort of control when posting in a DevDB project, for example, when you click on "post reply" button, this could open a box where you select: "I'm about the post a question/answer" , "I want to post a review" , "I want to post a bug report" , "I want to request a feature" or "I want post something about development of this project" then redirect members to the correct DevDB tab or simply automatically move the post to the correct devDB tab (discussion/features request/Q&A/Bug report/review).
And the dev discussion section could be reserved for RC/RD/RT etc etc as OP's request

I like the multiple choice thing, would definitely be a better approach imo :good: Another thing that sprang to mind after I finished my last post, Unless it is correctly handled, how long do you think it will take for people to start putting the same post in both the Q&A and the main thread hoping to get answered quicker. Not very I don't think.
