Well, following lukybandit's example in the Excalibur forum (so check that for more info), I've decided to start a similar thread here. To save space, here is the original, where the idea came from:
lukybandit said:
Hello Guys,
I notice newbies or sometimes, even regulars asking stupid questions. To save space on XDA, here are some examples that you should steer away from. Take this seriously and it's all in good fun. Before I show you some examples, this is to show that some questions are either already answered in the forum, or use your common sense or finally, if you have no common sense - READ the forum. Everyone was once a newbie but how did we all get here? We searched, read and maybe asked a question here and there, but valid questions. So use the "Search" button, find yourself a topic and seek knowledge. We're all here to help but don't flood the forum with stupid questions. This is to teach all newbies to avoid these kind of questions and cut the regulars some slack. From nowonwards, whatever DUMB thread I find, I will trash it and post the link here.
Example #1:
Can I Put The App(Fruity Loops) On My Dash?

Give me a Break. How do you expect to convert a 5 GIG .exe (Windows Install) file to a .cab? It's a phone. Damn it - Yes, this phone can DO a lot of things but don't expect to scratch your records on a phone. Who the hell is mixing a song on their phone? No Professional !!! haha What has the world come to? You see someone mixing a song on the bus, head bangin' - pissed off cause he isn't getting the beat right cause his **** ain't tight - well no, DUH you mixing on a PHONE lol

It's staring right in your face, dude. It's made for PPC, not Smartphone. lol Cmon man, do some research or better yet, READ the title. Stop creating threads for STUPID questions. Period.
____________________________________________
This is Just for Laughs. So Enjoy but at the same time, USE this as a lesson to not create stupid threads. Read, Seek Knowledge and Apply Knowledge.
Lesson of the day: Save yourself from getting banned and from rude comments.
Best Regards,
lukybandit
P.S: Anyone that comes across threads, post the link and post a valid comment because I want to keep this active so ALL newbies can learn to not to land in the graveyard, that is STUPID.

Calendar 'dialogs'?
You know you can enable those white "bubble windows" that pop up on receipt of new SMS messages etc. I'm *sure* years and years ago when I first used Window Mobile that calendar reminders popped up in similar bubbles.
How do I enable them? At the moment all I get is my alarm goes off, which just leaves an alarm icon in the top menu bar for me to click on, but I want the brief details to appear in a bubble - is there a reg setting for this?

Battery Charging Software
Hello I'm a newbie aswell... Here I can find some amazing programs... Programs even i cannot imagine of before... I made a search but I colud not find such a program...
I'm looking for such a program that will charge my battery... For example I'm somewhere outside and there is not a possibility to charge my battery... Then a software that charges my battery itself... is there a program like this? or can be written?

Doesnt the Diamond have an LED?
Hello!
I bought my Diamond yesterday *yay*...
I wonder, that small transparent piece of plastic built into to the earpiece. Is that an LED?
If yes, mine doesn' t blink or anything. Should it? And if yes, when?
I had an HTC Wizard before which blinked green when I had signal and orange when charging or a message received.

Practically useless radio. Even out in the open, the reception is basically like "shortwave radio". Even with the strongest of channels, I can barely enjoy anything.
Does anyone here has this issue too??

..i wish our htc's would have such a software!!!
Every battarie will be loaded in the same way; there is no software which controls the voltage based on the battarie!!
I posted my share of stupidity. I believe we all did.
But I agree it comes to a point where its to much!
What about banning the word fagphone?? (iPhone) thats were my support is!
I was scheptical so i reserved myself to the idea that we should really make a harmless joke app that shows you the batt is charging. Then see how many people download it.
Also could you guys tell me how to modify the registry so my phone heats up more because want to put it in my cofee every morning.
is it possible to install xp (sp2 or sp3) on htc diamond??
storage(4gb) is enough for install xp so maybe it is posiblle?
probably i will need some other boot loader??

Hey there guys,
I need some advice in a personal issue! i did skydiving a few months ago and now i am participating in a video contest on youtube! the thing is, the guy who gets the most views wins a sponsorin for a full license!
I gained almost 2000 views yet, but that is not enough to win the competition!
so, the question is: do you guys know some methods, to increase the views in youtube in an efficient way?
the problem is that the video is not uploaded in my channel, so i cant do video-responses, modify tags or the title in "lady gaga naked" or something like that ! not that this would grab MY attention!
I´m not thinking about DDOS or somethin illegal!
Do you have some advice in this case?
The link is listed below. If you klick it without knowing any advice it´ll help me either !

Evryone loves skydiving. Just post up the link in as many places as possible and let the fates decide!
Watching the video the instructor makes me laugh. He looks like he's in his element hurtling toward the ground at 120mph. Crazy!
How did it feel dude?

TL;DR
1. Either have somebody crash to their death or crash on someone to their (possibly mutual) death.
2. COSPLAY!
3. NAKED! <- might chaff
4. Weird landing targets! Like a giant pair of bewbs.
5. Skydive into the snowy mountains, snowboard down and cause an avalanche!
Tape it on you iPhone 4S with a crash landing.... if you get what I mean
+1 on Naked though
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
pulling the chute pin oh about 100 feet before landing might do it! nah.. just kidding. If you want to get many views post as much as you can in as many places possible. I was thinking you know facebook is one good place. a friend of a friend and before u know it it's viral!

Hello!
I have a s3 mini with a broken screen and a dead battery + the proximity sensor is dead...
Now to repair it it's gonna cost more then getting a new one.
Can I convert it to different display? e.g. tv or monitor with hdmi/dvi input?

then perhaps you should not waste everyone's time by posting a thread when you already know the answer
if you had bothered to search you would have found several comments from people who have tried and not managed to get it working
and this is samsung s3 mini
not sony s3 mini
I know the answer yes, it's possible I just don't know how...
Probably I shouldn't ask this in a s3 mini forum, u really cant be nice if u own a s3 mini... Like the previews owner of mine that threw it in a wall.

feel free to show proof that it is possible, to my knowledge there is no hardware support aside from serious hardware modification to do this
which requires in-depth information of the chipset in the device
as far as being nice

you just can't come and say it's impossible. Maybe someone knows something?

not mad
just limited on patience for dumb end users who choose to be rude and are also too dumb to search for answers before posting nonsense
without detailed hardware information it is not possible
so please feel free to share what you know

that is a usb device that connects to the TV that allows you to share movies and pictures
that hardware has been designed to do that
as i have already stated, unless there is a detailed hardware spec of the device you cannot modify the phone to cater for your requirements
sure go ahead and experiment with connections and soldering different points on the board, but unless you have the information you stand a high chance of either damaging the phone further or burning your tv hdmi port
so has there been any information found on how to do this?
please share as i am keen to see the results of your investigations and testing

Well my friend that studies electro studies (or whatever it's called in english) says it's possible but it need some things configured, and it's a lot of work..

it's also possible to fly to space but it requires some things configured
my statement still stands that it is currently not possible
no one has tried or even likely to bother trying since there is no detailed technical spec document shared to the public
It would take days maybe even longer to be able to map out the full circuit board just to understand what happens where and what is needed to make the conversion
just accept this and leave it at that
Check out my first 3 watch faces I made via watchmaker. All have ambient mode for our watch. Tried to make them look as close to the actual watches. Let me know what you think! all watches have been uploaded on facerepo.com under my account: kevs24, download them for you own use if you like them enjoy!
Nice job.
However, I have a question: Why people (including you) do feel the need to keep a certain brand name visible on these digital faces?
I mean, I know I have an LG watch ... every single guy out there who knows about the existence of GWR will recognise it as is .. then why should I keep "ROLEX" on it .. or any other brand for that matter?
My designs will always be logo-free .
I posted on facerepo that you can see the original hands on the Milgauss. If you could fix it somehow that would be great. Otherwise fantastic job.

Just updated my face to a clean face, no original hands seen at all, the picture on face repo still shows the old picture because the website takes 4 hours to update the main picture if edited, attached is a picture of the updated milgauss, also added a few more faces, enjoy!
Thanks a million Kev.

It was a simple question. Hate is not part of it.

No, it's not only you.
I partly agree that putting a rolex logo on a design doesn't make the watch a rolex.
Therefore I don't use logos on my designs.
I guess why others put logos on their designs is that for one... it's possible to do and secondly they enjoy doing so.
So let them enjoy in whatever logo they use.
If you like a design it's always possible to remove that logo yourself.
That's how I see it ?
Can somebody help me to get These Rolex Watch faces As an Apk File? Not facerepo files or watchmaker. I need AS an Apk file That I can install straight to the Wear.

Have you never heard of JerryRigEverything?
The second line of my post implies that I did view videos... But that is not the purpose of the question.
The purpose of the question is to get more specific inputs regarding this device specifically.
You can view a video on how to replace an engine, but then someone who replaced the engine you are trying to replace will have better input.
