Hi, fellow S4 Active users
Before starting a new thread, please read this OP.
Now as you may have noticed there are several questions flooding this sub-forum,
that have been asked a million times,
So let us all be a responsible "NEW USER" and not a "NOOB USER"
I know some of us are new and are not oriented properly on how you can maximize your time by using the almighty search button.
SEARCH BUTTON!!???
Yes, that is correct, the search button...
.
.
No, it is not sorcery or magic,
It is a tool to help everyone out, that is the reason why XDA has spent money making a search engine for us to be more convenient in finding what we seek.
So let us not neglect what XDA has made and let's utilize this search engine,
it is not a benefit, it is a privilege,
For those who don't know how to use it, let me help you.[IMAGE PENDING]
It is that highlighted spot, yeah, right there. Hey look, yup you found it in your own browser.
So, tell me the benefits of this so called 'search button' ? I mean, I can just create a new thread and wait for someone to answer it!
Well,
You can find the answer to your questions faster, since not all senior members, RC's are available all the time and some won't even answer you because it has already been asked again.
You'll help other newbies by orienting them about the search button.
We'll have a clean and uniform forum, a perfect community which all of us can enjoy.
Mods will have less headaches deleting posts and threads that are considered useless.
No one will call you noob. (YAY!)
It will reduce arguments and flaming within the thread.
SO LETS KEEP THIS FORUM PROFESSIONAL,
UTILIZE THE SEARCH BUTTON

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD QUESTION...
Stupid as it may seem,
There is a good and bad question.
So, here are some tips.
NEVER EVER PANIC!
i know some of us are new and have no experience with android, and suddenly we did something wrong and ended up bricking our phone.
But please don't post:
"Please help my phone is brick, Im desperate!!!!, help me please, i dont know what to do!!!" (Dont ever do this!)
Do so, but do it in a proper manner:
Make sure you write every detail (about what you did before doing something wrong) and your phone bricked.
"Please help me, I tried to flash XYZ rom and when i tried to install it using recovery mode by Vol Up+Home+Power i get a successful install message, however when i turned on my phone it got stuck on bootloop, can u help me with this?, i tried download mode Vol Down+Home+Power and tried odin too but it does not work"
LIST OF ALREADY ASKED POINTLESS QUESTIONS
What is the best ROM?
What is the best kernel?
What is the best launcher?
What is the best apps for xxx?
Basically these are all dependent on the nature of the user, there is no best ROM, kernel, launcher, app since we all have our own preferences so its endlessly pointless to even make or ask threads.
How to get paid apps?
Paid Apps for Free are known as warez and you can't get it on XDA.
When will ROM/KERNEL XYZ be released?
Any rom/kernel release question should go to the development thread, also its rude to ask for ETA's (estimated time of arrival)
I saw that CM ** is released on XYZ is please make it work
NO, please look at the development thread to get into the real condition of CM ports, if its not here, its not real
X Rom vs. Y Rom
Same reason as asking what is the best ROM, its really up to the user preference
I RECOMMEND ALL NEW USERS TO WATCH THIS
(NOBODY'S A NOOB OK?) ITS JUST FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES
Can anyone suggest a good stock rom with unlocked tether?
I am planning on rooting and not familiar with any of the at&t development since I have a Verizon phone. This is to help out someone else.
Thanks
First thing is Questions and request for assistance belong in the Q&A section not General.
Second thing is XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

Have a great day!
Hi,
I was wondering how to get a Section on the XDA Forum made for the Virgin Mobile/Sprint/Boost LG Tribute LS660 device and have our devices listed at the top of XDA Devs where it says "Type to find device".
I love this forum and have for years. Only recently have I gotten really involved. Specifically in the development on the LG LS660.
A lot of development has taken place over the last few weeks in the LG Android community.
From this thread we have been making great developments...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lg-tribute-development-t2953342/page98
Within this thread @jgkim @Unjustified Dev and I found things in our device that led to rooting our phones and then almost every other unrootable LG phone out on the market.
Here is @Unjustified Dev 's guide he wrote up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
From that guide @avicohh scripted up a one click method here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
And now I have a Q&A + Tips thread going to try and keep our development thread going.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/vm-sprint-lg-tribute-ls660-f60-t3059635
So with all this development how can we get our own section on XDA-Development made? It would be greatly appreciated to get this going stronger with a little more organization. Plus it would just be nice to see our devices listed!
Thanks for your time if you read this, Cheers!
@high247
Can someone point me in the right direction of who I need to talk to, to make this happen? Thanks!
This is the correct thread to post in for such requests:

Closing this up.
Nothing to see here, delete me. Rom was cancelled due to nougat 7.1.1 update.
Delete please
Move this to the General Forums please. Rule 15 states that the Development Forums are to post actual releases not teases.
Nougat? Trying to decide if I should go with OTA or wait for a 7.x release?

I just thought I should let you know because a tease might make a user upset or impatient. I ended up here on accident trying to get to the S7 forums but I saw this and thought I should let you know it's a General discussion rather than actual development unless you're going to provide the user with something via this thread

Actually its not a general discussion forum. If u look it is a development sub forum for this variant of the j7
Development.
General discussions include news and announcement, and is that not what this is? Announcing a new custom firmware being developed by you? (Well, cancelled now unfortunately) or discussions designed with an end goal, which this is not because it is only an announcement of a [new] custom firmware in development. But if you think otherwise, that's fine. I just thought maybe you should know. Have a good day, I see you are involved with many parts of the development here so I'm pretty sure you know what you're doing
@MikeChannon please delete this thread
Closed at OP request
Hello, I'm new to this site, however, I frequented the forum when I was taking my first steps using lineage. This is why I would like to help others in the same way that I have found answers or even a part of the answers on this forum.
