Questions as such should be posted in the appropriate section of this forum.
Typically in the Q&A thread.
Just an FYI for future reference...
Peace-
Thanks for the link. I'm not familiar with setting this up. Once it downloads what else should I do to set it up
*GalaxyS*
are u on a custom rom? or stock?
I'm using the stock. Firmware 2.1 update1 and Kernel 2.69.29

Prepare for this to be closed as it is not Dev-related. Doing a search before posting is always appreciated. Start in the general subforum.
Just need to know how to reinstall Google market. Removed because it would not open. Not sure y? Please help
*GalaxyS*

This is all of Google Apps in one.
Long process
preperation:
Set you phone to USB debugging and plug in
1st. You want to get the android market.apk somewhere I think i saw it on a post up there
2nd get the .zip i attached and sideload it using the .exe (sorry for mac's)
3rd run ACSWM and click "get file" or something like that.

I don't understand. This isn't the dev forum. Why does his question have to be dev-related to be in Q&A?

It was originally in the Dev section. A mod moved it into Q&A.
Remember to uninstall the market first this can be achiebed using titanium backup

Nailed it. Should have been obvious.

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

[Q] 'Light' rom

Hi all, my wife has a UK Three S5830. It seems to be bloated with junk like games that can't be removed and after installing 2 or 3 apps the internal space is full! I was going to root with SuperOneClick but then can somebody recommend a clean, light rom? I have an S3 so I've no idea what available for these phones!
u can go for Stocklite rom or adrenaline rom(old version..since latest version is having boot problem)..both are light and fast..

You should ask about it in the correct Q&A Thread
You must read rules and all information about your device also, rom threads, we need to keep the order!! This is GENERAL THREAD, so next time you know what to do
Reported.
Thank you for understanding it

Try the Roms suggested by nix01.
Also you can simply Root your device and make this ROM lite as well by deleting unwanted apps...

Just root, unistall bloatware from stock rom and maybe flash a different/battery friendly kernel and you're done

(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.
