Moderator Help - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Can someone please sticky this to all E4GT Forums. At least general, Q and A, and Dev sections. I am sure everyone is tired of seeing threads on Help how do I go back to stock gingerbread. I guess some people just don't get it, so please be as descriptive and simple as you can be in your sticky.
How to return to stock rooted Gingerbread EL29 the best way

I guess maybe one for ICS as well.
How To return to stock rooted Ice Cream Sandwich FF18 the best way

Once again thanks to sfhub
Hopefully the stickies will catch someone's eyes.
Thanks

Bump maybe

I have the welcome to et4g sticky in general, I'll edit it to add this info, for what its worth I'm pretty sure the people who start threads like this don't read stickies much less bother searching as I see posts all the time asking how to do things covered in various stickies, never hurts to try though...

I kinda figured they didn't read the stickies either, your guide is great by the way I just think some people are not willing to absorb all your valuable information or take the time really its kind of sad.

Thanks, I basically just tried to condense what was already out there in a noob friendly manner to save the people much smarter than me who do the actual development around here from being pestered by easy questions, I learned by reading and searching, not posting, hell I used this site for like 2 years before even registering, like the intro video used to say "you're not special, the question you have has already been answered,just search"... hah if you look at my profile you'll see that's the only thread I've ever actually started...
edit: edited my guide to reflect requested info, if there is anything else you guys think should be added just post or shoot me a pm or something ,id be happy to do it if it helps cut down on repeat questions around here

There is no official Froyo for our Epics, however there are several roms running the Froyo leak a.k.a. DK28.
First of all. Are you rooted?
PLEASE NOTE Post this type of questions in General section of the forums. This section is for development purposes only.
BTW. You will get more answers in that section, General

You don't have to donate if you don't want. Just read read read read read and read. Then read some more. Play around a bit and don't be afraid to ask questions– just be sure to ask in General, or preferably the Q&A forum. If you get stuck, there are plenty of people who are more than willing to help, just make sure to try and help yourself first. Oh, and be sure to read.

You should be glad someone hear tried to help you out. As far as I'm concerned people like you should be banned for a day every time they post in the wrong section or ask a question that has obviously already been answered in another thread! Do yourself a favor and read the rules and use the search button! Yes I know you have been told this but it seems like you need it drilled in your head.

so then lets make him feel like **** and he may never get on another forum , wow dude cmon.
for all we know this mighrt be his first time being on a forum , i dont know . i just see giving him a hard time the wrong way to do it. you could have said hey it may help if you search . instead of name calling belittling.
just my 2 cents
people dont understand a basic thing.. the info on the forums most of the times is outdated and no one will know for sure until they try it out ... and for a noob .. its really scary to go ahead and give a try without knowing for sure if its perfectly accurate wht s/he is doing.. for eg i came accross a forum to root android device by downgrading to 2.0 which i highly doubt if would even work now.
just my $0,02

Just a forum tip

I think the development section after selecting it should then have sections for EACH version rom. ie. Froyo, Gingerbread, ICS.
So that when you are looking at what is being developed you are not diluted with newer releases of older versions when you are really trying to find the best of a specific version.
This would allow it to be more organized.
+1 Would save a lot of confusion for noobs as well. Specific mods for specific version go in that section and so on and so forth .. yeah. Like it.
well there is only gingerbread and ICS, some mods are universal so you would have to post twice? and would you split up the theme and apps section too?
Good idea. Truth is though just more places for non readers to post in the wrong sections.

This idea is irrelevant because all people have to do is read. Even if the Title doesn't say the firmware version, the OP will 9 times out of 10.
The thought is good, but in reality.....nah bro
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Why the hell not? Even if the
OP does contain the firmware version, it would stop a lot of the confusion for the noobs that don't read. As for people that DO read, it would be convenient to go in a section with, say, just ICS ROMs, to check out the latest goodies instead of having to look through all the GB ROMs and other things that aren't ICS related.

If people don't read And flash and destroy....it's their fault.. There are already "please read if you're new" posts or "if you're new to ICS" posts. If people are lazy and disregard proper guided precautions to help inform everybody before they start messing with expensive phones....then a bricked phone is what you'll get.

Is this not the way it already is? If you can't be bothered to read a few lines of text maybe you shouldn't be flashing anything to your phone.

I think most people commenting are missing the point. Of course its not that important to people like us who come here often and keep up with everything.
But if you imagine the noob who means well, and is just trying to find the information that he needs, this web board is immensely cluttered.
Honestly, thats why you have so many noobs posting dumb questions and asking the same things over and over again. Most people aren't trying to clutter the forums, but when they can't find what they want quickly they give up and just start their own thread which gets on everyones nerves.
i think more sub-headings and forum breakdowns would help a lot honestly. And at the very least give mods a fresh place to police and (hopefully) control post whoring.

Oh boo hoo those poor noobs we need to hand them step by steps and make sure that everyone has the opportunity to flash rooms! Rom flashing is a basic human right and every American should get it free of hassle!
I say the free account registration inhibits minorities like the computer illiterate and old people, we should abolish this account registration so everyone has the opportunity to post anything!
In fact those poor souls who brick their phones should get new ones for free, I mean the developers get donations so they should spread the wealth around it would be better for everyone!

I find it hard to believe clutter is the reason dumb threads are started.
Raise your hand if you have seen someone post a question or news item that has already been posted less than 5 threads down in the first page of general at the time of posting.
*raises hand*
Forums sections are well explained and disclosed, even if people rant and flame at noobs, it is still a noob friendly atmosphere here, the problem also is that devs and senior members still repeat themselves overe and over trying to help noobs and besides alot of members on xda are just too lazy to read, only screwing up people learn to either not to touch or mess with something they shouldn't have mess with in first place, nobody was born knowing all, yet nobody was born brainless, if people screw up after so many threads of guides and how to's lost in limbo around the forums, let them screw up, imbeciles only see the finger that is pointig the right direction.
If stickies, guides and bibles haven't helped, it is useless to clutter this forums with more subforums

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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
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...

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.

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.

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.

I am dissapointed to say that xda has fallen off, it used to be a great community where people could come and learn and others share their knowledge. Now its just a bunch of snobs not willing to help someone instead just bash someone for being a "NOOB" thats just b.s and i didnt pay for something to get bashed on buying this app is contributing to android. Its just embarrasing being part of a community like this idk what happened or when it happened but i wish people would get off the rag and reach out to others in time of help instead of being arrogant pricks about simple things, this isnt a rant its just a persons opinions on whats been happening if you dont like it then f**** off im only trying to figure out why, with that being said

Well of course, and you'll also get a higher percentage of people that don't give two ****s to spend five minutes searching for an answer to their problem and just want to ask away. In the galaxy nexus forums it's the worst because people will ask questions that have been answered when they're on the SAME PAGE as the question they're asking.
most aren't A Holes just because they like to be, almost half of them are fed up and tired of lazy people. It's like working on the same exact issue over and over and over... Unfortunately both parties are right when there are always going to be lazies, and the A Holes. If it's that simple of an answer and I know has been answered/discussed about 5 times or more, I'll just ignore as most will do, or answer by linking them to all the threads about the same topic. Ya it's a little on the A Hole side, but it also answers their questions and tells them how easy and informative searching can be.
..
What's the deal with people that post questions that are often posted already? Or even Googling answers? WHATS THE DEAL THERE TOO???

This story will never end. It's just the way it is. Either you ignore those who bash and move on or do a little hw before posting a question that has been answered multiple times. The G2x section was filled with repeated questions. Personally I get annoyed and irritated after a while.

my favorite part is how everyone is bashing people who don't use the search function, yet there's like 90 threads that talk about how XDA isn't how it used to be and here is yet another thread about it
The reason everyone thinks XDA is "not like it used to be" is because the developer to user ratio has been diluted as XDA gains popularity. There are the same number of devs on this site as there's always been (probably more, actually), but there's waaaaaaay more users interested in rooting their phones and flashing custom firmware.
No internet community is perfect, and gigantic ones like this are going to have their problems...but the true XDAers suck it up, move on, ignore the jerks, and do what they came here to do. they certainly don't sit and complain about it.
@sisekickSquad817, It can be tough to get answers to your questions at times, and there are definitely users that are nicer about it then others. Here's my suggestion, send a couple of friend requests to the users that you speak with the most. Send me a friend request, and while I'm no developer, if I can't answer your question then I'll probably be able to point you in the direction of someone who can. Just PM me with your question, and as soon as I have a free moment then I'll do my best to help. Soon you'll find you have a few solid friends, and those friends will have a few solid friends, and the answers will be at your finger tips with a little patience. I know things can be frustrating, but threads like this can bring unwanted attention from the not so nice users, and then the mods get involved. Its probably best to avoid situations like that, or at least that's my opinion. Good Luck and I look forward to hearing from you
I've noticed this as well and I've been wondering when someone was going to make a thread about it.
I'll just add my plea for civility. Everybody was a noob at one time.
Back in the vibrant forum everybody tended to be very friendly. Let's try to keep it friendly here too.
You can't change anything, so why ***** about it, just give help to the users who have at least tried to read. Most ALL the answers are there anyway. If you watch, the people who are just looking for a quick answer post the same thing over an over. And in different forums. Saw one idiot post the same post in 5 different forums. 3G user asking questions in the mt4g forum. Moron.

But all users in xda must really understand that if your going to participate you need to read and and comprehend basic terms or follow instructions. Now sometimes you won't find something and that's ok you can ask. But there is a section for everything and many users don't care enough to see that. This is why the majority of people will be d**ks with you.
Not mainly because you ask a question in the wrong sectionbut because if the answer is obvious to the majority of users than it must be something you are missing. If you know android think of this like your debugging something. The error is clear just for back and start slowly this time.
There's a place for everything. Including xda.

I've noticed this too. I originally joined about three years ago ( this is a new account because I hated my old username) and have noticed both an increase in noobs and assholes. However, it isn't as bad as some of the Mustang forums I lurk. Most of those guys are total douches.

As a former camaro owner, I completely agree that mustang owners are douches

This topic has been discussed one million times. Stop creating useless threads covering issues that have been beaten to death. If you would bother to search, you'd find that this topic has been discussed countless times already, noob. Go post in one of those threads instead of wasting space here.
This thread doesn't even ****ing belong in this forum section. It has nothing to do with the SGS3. NOTHING.

Exactly, no point in posting if ur just gonna be a **** about it, if it doesn't belong in this area *****ing about it won't move it. I got my point across so that's all I have to say about it

Please read people holy cow!!!

To all xda-ers
Read read read and read again.....then search....and read some more holy crap people the CALL ECHO ON JELLYBEAN ROMS WILL BE PRESENT UNTIL WE GET AN OFFICIAL ROM FROM TMOBILE OR UNTIL SOMEONE FINDS A PERMNANET FIX FOR IT UNTIL THEN STOP ASKING ABOUT IT JEEZE... I don't know how many times I've seen this question but I've seen it one too many.
Theirs small things like make sure noise suppression is checked in your call settings or someone else stated that turning the volume down a bit fixes it. And or flashing another radio could cause a temp fix for it...but please read and or search before asking questions......
Number one rule here guys search before asking questions as your question may have been answered already and 95% of the time IT HAS!!!
Im done ranting now thanks for READING! And have a wonderful afternoon

I've never had a call echo complaint on AOKP JB, and have been running it for months.
I hope you feel really good about yourself, starting this thread all over such a small issue.
The irony of this post is that now when people search up "call echo" on the search bar now, this is the first thread out of several dozens of other threads that shows up and mentions this issue.
What's worst is that the post doesn't solve anything at all, lol. If it really bothered you, you could have simply provided links in your post to the particular threads where those who are actually looking will know where to search for prior answers.
In that way it will save you time and others... additionally, your rant wouldn't be another waste of space in these forums and instead actual be of some use to people... just a thought.
In the second paragraph I clearly stated the little things that people have found to temporarily fix the issue

And its a small issue that every one keeps asking about Instead of searching or reading thru the forums I've seen it asked at least 10 times or more in multiple threads I myself don't have the issue and why even post in here saying This is a waste of space when your reply was also a waste considereing none of you posted anything to help with the issue either but clearly just posted to flame

What kind of responses were you expecting from your post? Obviously since you emphasized greatly that people need to use the search bar more there is no need for us to add more to the minor information you already posted other than proper links... which then again contradicts using the search bar. As much as it is a nuisance, there are always going to be people on these forums who will ask old questions... don't let it be your problem, you're not obliged to answer the questions all the time. There are actually some bright people on the forums that enjoy the idea of helping someone (even if it's a common question), cheers!
Yeah I'm aware of that I've been trying to help people out all day myself

You guys can criticize this post all u want but he's right.. People suck..
Kind of like how Mohan asked people not to post in his Dev thread unless they have logs. And to use the embryo general thread instead yet people still fill his thread with the same few questions... It's crazy..

I understand your wanting to rant and I feel your frustration (Believe me when I say this. You should see some of the stuff that comes our way). Like FT said above, there is always going to be someone that asks the same question over and over and over, sometimes the same question in multiple threads. These people will never learn. But they are becoming more and more predominate in the forums lately.
We have 4.8m users and anywhere from 36-50k users online at a time. That type of userbase is fantastically hard to comprehend when it comes to things like this. Few want to learn anymore and many just come here to make their phone/tablet cool looking and could care less about smali hacks, de/compiling apks (what apk means for that matter), Android.policy.jars,...
Best answer I could give you now is to simply ignore those posts and move on to the next relevant post. If you want to answer, then by all means. Users should help each other when possible. But that doesn't mean spoonfeeding either.

I'll leave this thread open until 11am est if anyone else want to respond but after that it is getting Closed Closed Closed Closed Closed
He's absolutely right about the post but unfortunately it was a waste of time and effort because most of the people that ask the same questions over and over are never gonna take the time to read this
