A plea to the Mods - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please please please would you setup a separate "Galaxy Note ROMs and flashing" forum and move all relevant posts to it. The "General" and "Q&A" forums are getting swamped with such stuff and there are a lot of posts about near-identical stuff.
Thanks

To what end ? The ROM threads already have the info posted and as for people who end up having troubles flashing will eventually just post the same pre-answered questions in the new forum instead of in the Q&A forum.

Better to have all the crap at one place rather than distributing it around

Well, we could then hope that the flashing/bricking traffic would leave q&a forum, making it relatively clean and easier to read,
Right now its kind of difficult to find any interesting info in all the "help i didn't RTFM" noise

You're right

And then create a thread with a list of kind of bricks with info to get out of them ?
Feasible...but with a lot of work.But you're right---too many people stuck with the same freakin' type of problem and too many post individual threads for the same.I'm akmost getting tired of seeing the "Help! I'm on unsafe kernel how do I get back ?" type or the "Is it really safe to go to the stock kernel ?" type of threads...You have my vote:good:

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.

prateekgujral

Is he locking anybody elses threads for no apperent reason or just mine?
I post a link to the ics port and he locks it and says all ics development convo should be in his thread that consists of 3 people saying nothing about an existing port that boots and is smooth with wifi and bluetooth.
Why you mad son?
He actually deleted my post and I don't know why
Why not just discuss it in his thread like it says to?

Why would i discuss someone elses rom in a general OS thread?
I was linking to RootzWiki to a ROM not trying to start a hangout.

Guys,
1. Till the time an ICS rom is ported or developed within XDA, no other threads are allowed.
2. neckbonest - your post was deleted as you were directing members to another site, which is against XDA rules.
3. Threads are closed to keep the fora clean.
4. Opening threads like this will not help.
5. I would have expected the OP (calling me "son") to have taken a bit more matured step, like PM me. Many of my fellow mods will construe this as "non-cooperation with the mods"
Cheers!
oh BTW - This thread is closed now. Please PM me if you have any questions.

Because it's not your ROM, and this is why we don't allow threads in dev forums to just be a "pointer" to a ROM on another forum.
The dev forum is for devs who wish to release their own work.
prateekgujral obviously started an ICS thread for all things ICS related, so that several hundred other threads don't start appearing, cluttering up the forum...I would have done the same thing. Thus, you really should have just linked to it in his thread.
Also, please refrain from starting any more threads questioning a mods actions...it doesn't help anyone. If you have a question or concern about a mods action, contact a senior mod or moderator committee member.
But in this instance there's no need as prateekgujral has done nothing wrong

Root,kernel and roms(new to samsung note)

Hi,
EVERYBODY HERE, I BOUGHT A NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE,BEFORE I WAS USING IPHONE,
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ROOT KERNEL AND ROMS.

THANKS IN ADVANCE....
before anyone starts drilling you and you get discouraged,
1) this is development section, post your questions about anything in the Q&A section of this forum
2) All information for rooting, kernals, and roms is in this section, first do your searches and read through the threads before posting anything.
3) Welcome to the Note

There is no point discouraging some one who is new! You were not an expert when you joined. yes he did a mistake by posting in the dev section but that doesnt give you the right to have a go at him.. xda is all about sharing each others knowledge.
Welcome to Android mate. Congrats for buying the beast! And Please use search from the next time.

This is a development section, its not for questions!​

[Q&A][ROM][Assaye-V1.1.0][T/TX][STOCK9.1.A.0.489 Unlocked or Locked][DEODEXED][23/2/2

[Q&A][ROM][Assaye-V1.1.0][T/TX][STOCK9.1.A.0.489 Unlocked or Locked][DEODEXED][23/2/2
This is the thread to ask any questions about my ROM.
I made this thread in response to Svetius's PM to all RD's and RC's. Please see the message below.
I will no longer answer any questions about my ROM in the original thread. That is there for purely development posts. Any questions about flashing etc need to be here.
Dear RDs (and RCs!),
Sorry for the mass PM.
Lately we know a lot of you are getting annoyed by new users asking questions, and spamming development threads with these. We've listened, and we think we've worked out a way to help, but we'll need your assistance to make this work!
If you want users to be able to ask questions for your ROM, kernel, or other development, we would like to suggest you create a thread in the Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting forum for your device, using the same name as your main thread with perhaps a "[Q&A]" tag to preface the title, and link to this visibly in the first post of your development thread with a message like "For help, assistance, or if you have a question, use the (link)Help and Troubleshooting thread(/link)".
Then, it's up to you whether you want to spend time in the questions thread or if you want other XDA members to help to answer questions. Again, this is totally optional, but it might help in a big way to keep ROM threads focused and in fact might improve overall post quality across XDA, as most new members come to the site for help with a development work they've installed. If these questions annoy you, by directing them to another thread, we should help to preserve development threads free of silly repeat questions.
We are looking at ways to automate this for the future, but for now, it's something we'd like to try.
Want to discuss this further with us? Check out this thread in the Recognized Developer discussion forum.
Thanks for developing!
P.S. Recognized Contributors: you are copied on this message to keep you in the loop. A lot of you already help answer questions on XDA, and for that we are grateful. If you're able, please keep an eye out for sprouting Q&A threads tied to works of development (as per this PM) so that you can assist the OP in answering questions. Thanks!​

V1.1.0 Released.
Please read changelog in the Dev thread and installation instructions.
Post any general questions here, but any dev related posts in the dev thread.
Currently I am looking at trying to get the new bootsplash to show. I changed from the boring xperia screen to a custom one, but it wont show.
Also, I want to find a way to clear data of the home screen / app drawer so that the empty placeholders do not show on a fresh install.
Re: [Q&A][ROM][Assaye-V1.1.0][T/TX][STOCK9.1.A.0.489 Unlocked or Locked][DEODEXED][23
I think you will have to edit the launcher apk for that.

I thought that, any ideas of what to edit? I could just take the home.apk from a generic rom, but i like getting my fingers into it if you know what i mean...its all a learnign curve..
Re: [Q&A][ROM][Assaye-V1.1.0][T/TX][STOCK9.1.A.0.489 Unlocked or Locked][DEODEXED][23
No sorry don't know what to edit. And since my phone is still in repair I can't even try out some stuff either.
You could try having a look in the other Xperia forums. Maybe someone asked that already once

OK, I have just got home after a weekend away with my scouts.
Has anyone still got any bugs with the home button on V1.3.0 or V1.3.1? As hard as I try I cannot reproduce that bug, it works fine for me, both on a clean install and after just flashing over v1.2.0

[Q] Why I can post here, but in no other place?

Why I can only post here, but not even write to comment in a rom forum?
Thx in advanced

That's because you are a new member. Once you get 10 to 15 posts on the general forums, you will be able to comment and post in the development section.
I was gonna say because he's a noob but I've been on here for years and I'm still a noob albeit a senior noob but a noob nonetheless lmao
Answer is 10 post minimum for new users.
Thread closed.
