Place for newbie who looking for help

Responding for post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=272524
---------------------------------------------------------
I would like to ask for every one who have "experience" in thins forum to announce them self "would hael newbie"/WHN. So newbie who affradi can PM them, so they can direct to right forum or ask the newbie to make new post, because it's never been posted before.
--------------------------------------------------------
I'm cornelius not a proffesional at all.. even not a "senior member" at all, even some time i have wrong english spelling, but i've get a lot of help from this forum, so i'll help newbie who looking for help for their alpine's device. You can PM me, even Email me (like other person was), i can't guarented to answer your question so instant, but with this i hope i can help this forum like this forum help me a lot.Don't be affraid it's public forum...
---------------------------------------------------------
But please be polite, someone asked me for help (come from same country as me) but i read their PM to late, then i try to sms that person asking if their problem have been resolve, but he replied me(I try to translate to english): "NOT YET!!!! but if you can't help, just leave.. DAM... as........."I'm shocked and didn't reply him again...
Me, myself often found that "search" function didn't help at all, i have 2 browse manually, even internet connection from my country is slow.... and totally expensive...
But this what i can give to this forum...
I hope other "senior member" or experience member can do same thing...
I Hope this forum always get BETER each time....
Bravo XDA-DEVELOPERS...................

I respectfully disagree. I think we should encourage people to post rather than PM straight away. The only reason I am a "senior member" on this forum is because I have my browser open most of the time at work so I managed to rake up over 500 messages to this day.
I am not an expert, and I have absolutely no knowledge in some of the topics this forum covers. Although I can't speak for everyone I believe this to be true for most people on this forum.
While I will always try to answer any PM to the best of my ability, I will always recommend posting the question to the forum first. I am just one person and may not know the answer, make a mistake or give incomplete information. Also there may be a better way to solve the problem.
This is why it is always better if many people see your question.
As for posting in the wrong place, worse case scenario is that and admin will move your thread to the proper place.
As for the search I can only hope it will improve now that the forum switched to the new system.
Finally, you need not worry about language here. English is not my native language either and it is the same for many on this forum. It is a global forum and that's part of what makes it great.
(P.S. I owe my descent spelling to google toolbar spell checker )

I hope every member can be as polite as you levenum, so this forum will much... better. I mean PM juct for confirmation after that ofcourse it's better 2 post on fourm.
I hope the serach function will be get better...

10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

Dont answer this ignorant person, its obvious you havent read the forum rules

yes.i don't read the forum rules. and i don't know have it too.i a new people for this forum.

today say too much.but just xet the answer is to my question.thanks

ok guys calm down.
First off @ it1861 - Try and abide by forum rules and search before creating a new thread. Yes, you are correct, the rules do say to try and help others when they ask a question. But you have to understand a lt of questions get asked countless times and people lose their patience when others don't search. Obviously they shouldn't lose their cool but instead should direct you to previous thread, and remind you of forum rules before a mod comes and closes thread.
Secondly @ shruff - Everyone has been a noob at some point including myself and it can be hard at first to navigate site. Please treat others with repsect and the way you would like to be treated. No need to lose your cool, just report thread and a mod will come and assist when available.

Xperia ROM development forum is a mess!!

Xperia ROM development forum is a mess!!

Guys,
every day i see a new thread created by some users.
It is mostly like, how can i do this, how can i do that.
It is really simple, if you want to ask something about an option or a function that isn;t working then please post in the corresponding thread so we can have a clean forum.
Here is a link to the rules:http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256
please read it guys, it is very annoying to see a new thread everytime.
mods, please put some time in this xperia forum with cleaning out the ''litter''
@ all, thank you very much for your cooperation.

Now @ 203 views and nobody has left a comment or suggestion or something like that?
I think this is what the community has become, like only get what you need and then use it and then complaining, no suggestions or anything, no thanks for the chefs ?

i understand what ur saying but a im pretty sure a mod has just moved some of the useless threads because a lot of them have been moved

No.
I think people read your post and ignored it because it contained nothing useful in itself. It's a public forum, if you want neat and tidy you're probably in the wrong place.
I'm not looking to pick argument it just seems to me your original post was pointless. In most cases the title of a thread gives you enough info to decided whether it's worthy of reading.
Sure there are plenty of people who come here just to get what they want and give nothing back, again it's the nature of the beast. But I think there's still plenty of people who are willing to give as well as take and on a whole the forum still functions well.
My biggest gripe would be people asking questions answered on the previous page (i.e. lack of search) not untidiness.
Also I think the X1 forum has lost a lot of active members to the LEO forum recently. Again this is inevitable given the age of the device and the progression of handsets.
The LEO thread is much more active currently IMO. POP over there, don't forget most of what they're discussing applies to our device too.

this is true, but some can also give reasons (which are also true) that some threads are really huge, specially good rom threads, on average they are 1000 posts longs, some go as long as 11,000 posts (valkyrie), when someone new get a rom and gets a small bug, it is really impossible to read all past thread, and unfortunately the thread search is not always helpful...
the best thing for a rom forum is to be a wiki, where each rom gets a page with generic information, and links to threads of sub pages that have useful information, like how to fix a known bug, or where to get an app that does that thing..... and leave the bla bla discussions or personal opinions on the forum.
some rom developers follow such a method, but partially, in the first few posts reserved for the rom you sometimes find links to common issues and solutions, but after a while everything gets messy again....
a ROM is a "product" that needs its own area or even a forum by itself. not a single forum for many products, this brings the mess....
but this need much organization, the price to be less messy

You are right and its mostly down to newbies. I'm someone who makes a point of holding off on posting on a few forum until I see the layout, get the rules, etc. so I don't annoy seasoned members and get a bad rep for being stupid.
A lot of new members to the site are a bit out of their depth (I know I was when I first joined) and its not really only being used as a developers forum/site any more. If you're a newbie you've got two choices: (1) ask, (2) spend countless hours trying to work it out for yourself.
I guess the lazy ones are a bit thread happy!

P.S. You can show people the rules but you can't make them read.
P.P.S. Isn't this another one of those clogging up threads that aren't anything to do with ROM dev though?! (joke)

I hovered around in the X1 forum for a little more than a year, and most recently, after getting a new (additional) toy, I moved over to another forum, the one which is mentioned here already.
Frankly spoken, I have the perception that the X1 forum here is quite in order, while the HD2 forum is a real mess. For many "similar" problems and questions, many newcomers open a new thread instead of using the search function. In case of the X1 forum, there is much more "discipline".
Plus, the mods of the forums are quite effective here, I would say.
I am still very thankful that xda devs exists, thanks to all who contribute, especially the cooks... and also to those who help understanding the forum (and its rules) to newcomers. All of us started "small" and as "newb", no? And from time to time, I try to help, too - even if I am just an "average" user.

Mods please close thread
I think the point is made.
mods, please close this thread

im partly responsible for your this thread and once agian, i am sorry....i promise u it wont happen again..

Sorry to all the mods and admins again...

Smooth Android version needed

Hey guys, I own an HTC TD, WM 6.1, I need a smooth working and fast android version (With "how to insatll" please ), I've installed XDAndroid 2.2 and it's very slowly + Almost everything isn't responding + whenever I enter to Storage card it says I need an SD Card, can some one help me ASAP please?
Thanks
P.S1: I'm sorry if I posted this on the wrong sub-forum
P.S2: I really busted my ass searching before posting this, to let you know

Is this forum dead or something? I posted two topics in the last three weeks and no one answered or helped me, come on guys, I really need help!

Close this topic. I already solved my problem on another forums, they replied the day I posted.

Thread Closed
Well, this device is in the Legacy & Low Activity Devices forum for a reason....also "best/fastest/smoothest/mostest ROM" threads are generally discouraged as there is no one right answer for all people. It really depends on the user's individual needs, so no one can answer it correctly for you but you. Try various ROMs until you find the one that is the best for you. Thread closed.
Thank you,

How to make a good question thread.

If you are about to make a new question thread please consider the following things.
Follow the rules.
Because your thread is going to be posted at questions and answers section it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t obey the rules. Every thread/post inside xda forum must be posted according to the rules.
You can find the rules here.
Don’t panic.
If you are panicked and trembling in fear take some deep breaths, take your time and clear your mind, being calm may guaranty an answer to your question. It will sure help you to accept the truth in case your problem can’t be solved.
Search.
This is the best way to get your answer. Your question maybe have been already answered. Seriously, instead of waiting 3 days for a reply to your thread you may be able to get an answer in 5 minutes. Our beloved forum provide as a very helpful tool, the search button.
You searched the forum but nothing? Try again with different key words.
Still nothing?
Try to search on google.
So you found something but you don’t understand the terms that it’s using, google them, I’m sure you will get your answer.
So, you didn’t find anything helpful. You can proceed on making a new thread.
Make sure that you are posting at the right sub-forum.
In our case make sure you have indeed a Galaxy S Advance.
Things are simple, if you don’t own an S Advance and post your question about another phone you will just don’t get any answer and furthermore there is a high possibility of your thread being spammed with posts like “facepalm, this section is for the S Advance”,”dude are you drunk” and such things.
If it happened to make a thread in a wrong sub-forum/section the only way to move it is by kindly pm a moderator or by reporting your thread and ask for a moving.
Your question must be posted at the Q&A.
If you don’t know whether you must post your question at general (Galaxy S Advance I9070 General) or Q&A (Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting) section just post it at the Q&A, all question threads must be posted there.
Bump existing threads.
Some questions just don’t require a new thread.
But, make sure your question is similar to the thread’s you are reviving. Don’t use threads that are for an entire different question. Its up to your judgment to decide what thread is suitable for bumping.
Think about your question.
Don’t be overwhelming, take your time and think about what way is the most suitable to post your question.
Use English.
Before starting typing your thread make sure you are writing in English.
You don’t know how to speak English or you can’t write in English that well?
Don’t worry there is a chance that your question will be answered, if you have read the rules you already know that you can post your question at your native language but its important to add a translation to English. “How to do this?” use google translator, google translator maybe wont provide an accurate translation but it will translate most of the words, and you add the post in your native language as well, because someone from the same country can help you or he can translate in detail what you posted.
Quote:
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
Add a good title.
Every thread in order to be posted must have a title. Be smart, add an attractive one, this way more people will view your thread.
Your title must contain your problem in short words, if this can’t be done add a title that partially describe it, don’t add titles like “HELP”, Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp”, ”read”, ”null”.
Also add [Q] at your title.
Describe as much as possible.
90% percent of whether your problem will be solved, depends on your question.
Describe in detail your problem.
You may add the followings:
Are you rooted?
What’s your baseband?
What rom are you using?
What kernel are you using?
Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
Have you done anything to try to solve your issue?
Add pictures if necessary.
Do you think that these informations aren’t needed? They are.
Members of this forum don’t use telepathy; you have to tell them what you have done.
Things you may avoid in your post.
Don’t ask “What’s the best ____”(rom, kernel, theme etc)
Don’t ask something before searching.
Be specific. Don’t write way too big or way too small posts.
Don’t be rude.
Wait patiently for answers.
Don’t pm random guys asking for help.
Don’t spam your question in multiple threads/posts.
Participate in your thread.
Answer kindly any possible question that you have being asked by those who are trying to help you.
Be kind to everyone.
Make them understand what you need/asking.
In any case don’t abandon your thread, people maybe want to know if at last you were able to solve your problem and what way did you follow.
Be grateful.
Thank everyone who helped you, sometimes those who didn’t really helped you may be great help (“in what way?” keeping your thread alive, helping rejecting way of solving and more…), so be grateful to them too.
Important general notes.
Be polite. Nobody will help you if you don’t have good attitude.
Be organized.
Don’t constantly bump your thread. As you problem remain unsolved, I think it’s okay if you bump your thread once a week but you may have problems with the mods if you overdoing it.
Don’t pm random guys.
Don’t demand things, nobody is forced to help you.
That’s it, I hope your problem will be solved.
If you have any comment or correction or suggestion please notify me by sending me a pm.
Thanks.
