Lost post - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Made a post today asking some questions about Gingerbread etc...
Now I cant find it
I called it Gingerbread ROM
Is there a way for me to see all posts made by me
Thanks
Will edit this to say I found it so this thread can be removed

It got deleted. Any chance you posted it in development?

How do you know it got deleted, cant remember were I posted it tbh
Is it a crime on here to get it wrong?

Under your profile there is a option to search for all the threads started by you, there was no one with gingerbread in it.
Also it's not a crime to post in the wrong section, however you should know the rules. Those state that only if you develop a rom or directly contribute to one you should post in development. If it's a question use Q&A.
And this is a guess but I'm pretty sure your question could have been answers by searching. This meade the decision to delete in stead of moveing probably easier.

[Q] Inc2 Gingerbread radio

Does anyone have the gb radio, or can you link to a working source? The CM links are not working for me. Thanks!

Come on, don't make me post in dev to get someone's attention. I know someone has to have to updated radio.

There is an active thread in the dev forums with links to all the radios.

The development section is not for posting new question threads. Don't be that obnoxious person that posts questions in the dev section cause you think more people will see it. I've heard the search feature is pretty helpful.
I did lots of searching and was unable to find what I was looking for. Hence why I posted my question here as a last resort, knowing full well that more than likely I would not get a helpful response, and would probably get flamed. I'm glad to know that threatening to post in the dev section is a good way to get negative responses. What ever, I finally found what I was looking for, this can be closed, or ignored, whichever is easier.

Dude are you serious. Please open your eyes. This is such a wasteful thread.

Gingerbread OS

Hey all! I started a post a few days ago but it was gone before I could get the information off of it. it had a link to an ROM that was either Gingerbread or Gingerbread with a spice of something else and also I was told to flash my kernel. Can anyone give me any suggestions?
It probably got closed because it was posted in the wrong section....much like this post is. Either way I doubt anyone knows what you're referring to based on your description

Moving to Q&A

My experience in Q&A

So I finally posted in the Q&A section last night because I messed up my SystemUI.apk while trying to theme it...
I asked a simple question asking if anyone could post the stock apk from the latest leak... and never got a response yet.
I no longer need it because I have flashed CM9 since it was what I had on my SD when I flashed today.
I now know why there are so many users that post questions in the general section of the forum. This is the most disappointing part of this community other than the people who like stirring up arguments in the community.
If there is anyone else who has had a similar experience or that thinks that this forum lacks in helpful information, post here to explain your story and how you feel the community should change.

I understand completely what you are saying. I used to live in the Q&A section to try to help because there's not a lot of people that DO put in the effort and go out their way. I didn't get my "thanks" from being a mod, believe me, lol. I try to be laid back for that reason in the general section, but I can only allow so many questions before it gets overwhelming. I have seen a handful of members in this section that will see people through to get the help the asking members need. And I love that. Sometimes you have to give it a little more time, or a shameless bump is in order.

Yeah, I could have given it a little bit more time but without a status bar I didn't want to wait...
I guess instead of complaining about it, I will take the initiative to contribute my experience with the E4GT to the community. I'm no developer but I will try to help as best as I can.

Did you flash agats ics theme over the stock fe22? If thats the case he labeled them wrong and you have to flash deodexed instead of odexed theme. It was mentioned in the fe22 thread, happened to a few of us but you would really have to read everything to find it.
I look at q&a sometimes but I learned most of the stuff here from reading and most of the questions there are because people are too lazy to read. I typically just provide a link to a thread if I do answer any questions. Yours is valid though I flashed and downloaded the rom and that stupid theme 3 times thinking i had a bad flash checking md5 and stuff.

I flashed the odexed theme... I also thought it was a bad flash. I usually read most of the thread and the comments.
I just didn't read enough to see that there was a problem flashing over stock.

This time it was buried and as dumb as I felt flashing a theme that said deodexed over a stock rom it worked.

Thats pretty demanding, seeing that you are asking for free help. You should wait longer, and if you cant, thats why its always suggested to NAND backup your stuff.
You must realize that we all have lives outside of this forum, I too try to help out as often as I can with what little knowledge I have. Its the only way I can give back but I also work full-time and go to college full-time. So there are a few days where I can't find the time to post or help out. I'm not by any means saying that this is the case for everyone here, just simply giving you an example that may or may not be the case for some of us here.
I can almost promise you, however, if you give it enough time, someone WILL come to your aid.
I just hope you realize this and don't think any less of these people here. They really do put a lot of time and effort into helping and developing for all of us in hopes of getting nothing more than a simple "thanks".
I also hope that your next experience is nothing like the previous one.

I agree with the backup idea, but I'm not touching the backup restore functions on an ICS kernel until it has been fully tested and determined to be safe to use.
I thought I had backups of the SystemUI on my SD card but they were for earlier builds and would not work. I realize that everyone has their own life outside of XDA. That is why when I saw that my question didn't even have one reply when several other questions had new comments, I decided to just flash a new ROM.
The reason I have started this thread is because I am not the first user to be ignored when asking a simple question to ask if someone could help with such a simple issue.

Personally, I believe the Q&A section is pretty much useless and have never used it to gather or inquire information. As long as one uses the Search function in the forums effectively, there's no need for it.

In theory, yea. But a lot of those answers you "searched" for are found in the Q&A section.
---Jay--- From the CM9 powered E4GT
I admit I don't frequent Q&A as much as I do General and Development, but if I see something I feel that I can answer then I always try to contribute. If it's something completely out of my league but I know someone who might know the answer then I will, occasionally, post that information.
While I understand OP's need for a quick resolution (although most questions in Q&A need the same) I agree with those who have advocated allowing a little more time for people to respond.
I know it can be frustrating (and intimidating) to be stuck on a problem with no answer but again, as stated in the posts above, sometimes people who can help simply aren't online at the time the problem is posted. Though I'm here a lot during the day (from work, shhhh) in the evenings my time is a bit more sporadic and I've come back to the computer with PMs from people who asked me something but thought I was ignoring them, that bothers me because I would never willingly ignore someone.
So I think Q&A definitely has its uses and maybe this post should be our tap on the shoulder to peruse it more often and see if there is something we can help answer.
To the OP.
Why didn't you just download one of the stock roms in the roms section and extract your own?
just curious.....

When most roms here are 1 click executable files its not so easy to extract the apk...
And with most of the roms that are zipped, they are already themed...
I have resolved my own issue by flashing a new rom, that was not the point of this thread... the point I wanted to bring up with this thread is that it is apparent that 95% of the users here only frequent General and Development. If more users just checked Q&A once and a while to see if there is anyone needing help with something that they have already experienced, they could easily reply with what they did to resolve the issue.
Let's all stop pointing the blame and help to better the community... we all can help in one way or another.

new update CMW update.zip versio

Hey Guys,
are there any plans by XDA faithful developers to import the new AT&T update (7/10/2012) as a cmw flashable zip?
since those of us who rooted and have CMW installed cannot update, it will fail.
we need to either flash new stock recovery to do it. wecan either reflash root66 to get stock recovery back, use voodoo ota root keeper and do the ota update. or if someone make the update into a cwm flashable zip and you can just flash that in cwm.
anyone knows of such plans?
thank you.
This is not development. Why did you post this here? Reporting this to moderators. You should've posted this in the "General" or "Q & A" sections.

feel free to report to god him self.
instead of being a smart a$$ simply write this is not right forum and i will be more then happy to delete the post and post in the appropriate location.
apologize for not knowing the A and B's of posting a question.
that being said, since the needed modification is done by developers rather then a generalist, and in fact one developer is needed to create such an update.zip file, adding to the fact not all sub forums are shown it was posted here.
if it hurt u so much, please accept my apology, i do not understand how a threat of "i am reporting you" should scare me... not sure...

Try the search function. If you did you would see there is one in general.
I would give link but I don't spoon feed lazy people information.

Get pissy all you want, but there are stickies in each section that describe where what kinds of posts go where.
Yours is in the wrong place. Again. You need to stop, read the FAQ and rules, and think before posting. You now have 2 threads started in Development that are going to be locked. We're not being asses, there's already enough clutter to sort through without stuff like this in Development.

Lol. I'm sorry but I can't help the fact that you are so emotionally unstable enough to take my whole post out of context.
1) I made absolutely no smart ass remarks.
2) because something that needs to be done by a developer doesn't mean that the question about it belongs in the development section. Read the rules dude.
3) there was no threat of "I'm reporting you!" There was a statement that said I was reporting the post. That means I was reporting to move it to the correct forum. Get with it and actually read. Emotions do not belong here in a development forum.
4) because of you outburst for no reason at all its very clear that you don't belong here on xda. Grow up please. Thanks. Have a good day!

On the "desktop" version of the website, there's already a step when creating a thread that automatically searches and finds existing threads on the subject.
It's already ignored by a lot of people.
I'm skeptical that adding an additional step for people to ignore is the correct solution. That being said, I have to real solution.
I always try to suggest people search and I'm fully aware that it makes the threads seem hostile to newcomers. I honestly don't know what to do half of the time. Being polite helps, but a lot of time people want to get upset.
Sorry people. I thought maybe I would get a more direct answer if I came directly to the sacred area of developers. Now I know that next time I'll go to Q&A and look there for the answers I need instead of relying on your expertise.

It's not about expertise, it's about Development, that's reserved for exactly that development of roms, mods etc.. It is not a question and answer forum nor a theming section. Those have their own section with thousands of people which are going to probably help you and give you proper information. Also mocking the words of a Moderator is not a good thing to do. Just some friendly advice.
