Database Develop

A polite request for knowledge

Now ive potentially duped you into reading my post, i simply wish to know your general views on the xperia t and its dev community here. im coming from an htc desire that has a huge dev section on xda with countless roms to try out, how does this compare?
is the camera any good? have you got jelly bean yet? etc
a sincere thank you to those willing to comment, positively or not
One love

Thread closed. Sorry to put a downer on your thread but all the information you need is in the forums across various existing threads mainly in the General section. You're actually lucky as there's only 5 pages of threads in total in the General section so even if search doesn't work you can see all the threads.
For information about the phone you can look in any of the review threads or I got my Xperia T/TX etc. For the camera there are a couple of discussions with examples in the General section so you can see for yourself how good the pics are (or aren't). For development you only need to look in Android Development or Original Development to see CM10, AOKP, Paranoid Android, PACMan and stock ROM's are available.
Thanks

Reccurent threads

Hi,
First of all... Don't kill me
Since a few weeks there is a upsurge of recurrent threads like "What is the best rom", "What is the best kernel", "What is the best rom for battery life", What is the best kernel for battery life" or "Help me to choose a (best) kernel / rom"...
There was this kind of topics 3 / 4 times a day in General and Q&A section... For me it gets boring every day the same threads.
There is not that the rom or the kernel that comes into account about battery life for example, but the settings,the usage,etc... But always (or almost) in these threads the reply is just "x kernel", "xx kernel", "x rom", "xx rom", etc...without more detail...Makes no sense...
There are almost many answers as there are different kernel + all the different settings (CPU freq, GPU freq, undervolt, hotplug, etc...) + the rom used + your personnal settings (sync, brightness, widgets, wifi, etc...) + your use..., etc...
Many of these threads have a dozen answers then they are forgotten and the OP never comes back and does not even give feedback...
What's the point?
With a little search in both General and Q&A section there are some recent threads, rather important (in term of number's reply) and detailed for it to be useful...
Why not post again in one of these threads to move up and continue the discussion into a central thread...
It's so complicated searched a bit, read existing threads, test by itself or form an opinion by reading other feedback?
There would be no threads regarding these questions, ok no worries, but right now there are many, way too much these kind of topics...
These threads are very subjective as the answers and reflects nothing... Almost the time nothing is known of the usage / settings of the OP than the guy who answer,just a name of kernel or rom...
And nothing is says about "Best kernel / rom" or "Best battery life"... What does that mean exactly ...? Unspecified: nothing, therefore unnecessary threads...
Ok, we're here to help, advise and give notice but not 10 times a day the same thing especially that with a minimum of research and reading... there is a response...
Sorry for this topic, if it does not please->trash...
Just so everyone make an effort and you can not see all the time the same thing with the same answers when there is already threads...
And if you do not like... do not read bla bla bla... This is what I do , but when I naviguate in General or Q&A section...and when I see the titles of all these threads it bothers me to navigate through all these threads and to see new interesting topics between all of these topics to see 3 / 4 of interresting...
So please, read and test by yourselves instead of waiting for that we chooses a rom / kernel for you. Thanks.
Isn't a personal satisfaction to find by oneself the "best" rom / kernel who suits our needs? I prefer test and read by myself instead of asking "Hey guys where is the best kernel for performance???", well i've tested all and then I made my conclusion myself and I'm happy to have found by myself
There was this in the Galaxy SIII section:

Guys,
There has been so many "Which is the best ROM?" and "Which is the best kernel?" threads lately.
This is a reminder.. these kind of threads are NOT allowed.
Why are they not allowed? Well because that the best rom and kernel for me might be the worst for someone else. It's subjective. It's like asking who the hottest girl in the world is. Or which sports car is the best. If you ask 100 people you will get 100 different answers.
The best advice is to try them all and figure out which one is best for YOU and YOUR needs. Not based on what's best for someone else.
I have just been closing these threads but I'm going to start to hand out official warnings if it continues.

Hi,
There is still this kind of threads and there will always but if everyone made an effort there would be less. And for some time the answers to these threads are "Try and see, there is no best kernels / rom", yes I think it's the best answer but there is always these threads.
And if people would search a little, they will find that these threads are closed, for a reason. It would be less work for the mods and the section will be less cluttered. We can report the thread but always it's more work for the mods.
Even if the rules are not read quite often, it would be great if a mod can write a little sticky or whatever (an "official" statement) about these threads (since they closed them, there is a reason). So maybe some users before create a thread will take a look at a sticky and think or search a little.
If everyone did a little effort and took his responsibilities without waiting for any other ... I mean threads about "what is the best ******".
Like this one:

Here my point of view...

[Q] Quick Question

What is your favorite ROM for the HTC One ? Is it that ROM usable international models ?

Thread Closed​
Threads comparing ROMs are not permitted. Its best for you to try a few and see which one suits your needs the best. Its much better for you to spend some time reading the dev threads, than a fanboy war starting here.
Also, dont post question threads in the dev section!​

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

New to SP, looking for possible roms?

Hi all! I just purchased this phone (being shipped in the mail, will have it within a week or two), and I've already been perusing these forums for how to root/unlock bootloader/etc.
As I was looking into these forums, one thing I could not find is the LED strip. Since I do not have the phone physically in front of me yet, I am unsure of how the phone names that feature, so I am not sure what to look for.
Are there any roms that utilize the LED strip at the bottom? Or will I have to stick with stock?
Also, sorry for the double post, I put this in both Android Dev, and Original Android Dev, because I am not sure which this would fall under, mods, feel free to move/delete if it's in the wrong section.

It should be in Q&A...
Use stock 4.3 if you want all the led features, or anything based on it eg: eXistenZ

So let me enlighten you as to how things are done here...
First of all, if you create a thread to ask a question, you create it in Q&A
Secondly, you don't duplicate threads just because you're not sure where to create them!
I notice in your other duplicate thread, that you wanted to argue with other members when they advised you that your thread was in the wrong place...
thehritzinator said:
In other forums on XDA, generally q&a about specific dev options goes in these two subsections. I've seen it, and participated in it, in forums such as Nexus 7, LG Optimus L9, and the Galaxy S2 and S3.

Wrong. The rule is site wide...
If you're in an existing ROM thread in a Development forum, you can ask a question there (if the OP allows) but you do NOT create a new thread in the Development forums to ask a question.
I hope you're clear on this now for the future.
