Where's the Ultimate Accessory Thread? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I happened to like that thread. What happened to it? It was invaluable to me when I was looking for accessories.

I wondered the same thing. It was useful. Maybe too hard to keep up with it.

It was closed down.
I reported it because the OP was sneaking in his Amazon affiliate links.
Whenever someone purchases something through his links, he gets paid a commission.
This is sneaky business. He's not trying to help us, he's trying to make money. XDA is a community forum, not a means to make money.
Apparently, the OP of that thread has several similar threads all over this forum. He was monetizing XDA and we did not even know about it. Surprisingly, the mods of the forum did not notice it either. I did because I am a mod of a huge forum as well and this type of sneaky advertising is a common tactic spammers and abusive users use.
From Forum Rules:
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.

The OP of that post surely dislikes me then. I ordered several things from things he & others posted, but I would look at the item, get the model #, then search eBay and other places to see if i could find better deals, shipping, etc. He / She made no money from me, but I did appreciate the suggestion

Ah, that's too bad then. Well, hopefully we'll get another one going in time.

Posting links is fine as long as the links are "affiliate-free."

As some seem to have missed them when they signed up here they are again...

Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.

2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.

However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intent on selling something.
As an elaboration to rule number 7, don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. If you are the proprietor of a for-pay product or service, you may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or offer support on the product, but you may not make any posts with the primary intent of selling. This includes posting press releases, announcements, or links to downloads for trial software; the only exception to this is when you’re posting an exclusive release to XDA. Off-site downloads are permitted as long as the site does not require a fee or mandatory registration to access the content.
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

[Q] Guidance How To Root, Rom, Etc - Just Purchased

So I just made my purchase and lookin forward to getting this tablet. 1st tablet ever, yeah! I feel like I have a good grab on how to root, etc with my phone, so applying the same logic should be fairly simple.
However can anyone point me in the right direction of what to do first in order to get a custom ROM on this baby. I'm assuming rooting, (links would be helpful)
Also, which is the best of the best ROM wise to run? Any major differences between the many released here on XDA?
Thanks again in advance
Also, I heard about this nvflash, is this is just failsafe to install that clockwork just won't help with? When does nvflash have to be performed?
Z4Root for rooting if you're going to stay with the stock rom.
ClockworkMod .8 if you're going to want to flash other roms (that already come rooted).
I'm a VEGAn 5.1.1 fan so I may be biased but in my opinion it's fast and reliable and looks great. I watch videos I've ripped, read books/magazines/comics, play games, and access my work computers with my gTab.
chugger93,
Please search. There are numerous threads regarding the differences between ROMs, which ones are better and why.
In the developer section you will see stickies regarding every ROM, nvflash, CWM. These stickies not only have the download, but also how to install, and pages and pages of problems that people have answered.
And yes, nvflash is a failsafe for if you screw something up by not following directions. Sometimes I wish I could use nvflash on users in this forum so they would be able to go back and read before posting a question that has been asked a hundred times before.
In fact...this is the first thread in this section which you posted, yet still felt the need to ask:

Here's my thoughts on your response;
Firstly; No matter how many times you ask people to stop posting questions it's in stickies. It's still going to happen. People don't want to read, just like they barely read their emails at work and respond. It's a vicious cycle, and one that you or anyone else isn't going to change. It sucks, I know, but I've been administering forums for years upon years, and I still can't control it.
Secondly; If people would just respond to the questions being asked (since it is a forum) rather than typing a book on how to use the search, people like myself amongst many others would stop posting so much.
Thirdly; Unless stickies get updated (which some of them arnt I see...) technology meaning roms and such, are ever changing. So who's to say that any of that information in that sticky is even relevant or updated anymore?? Riddle me this
Case and point: Just answer peoples questions and move on. It's why we are all here to help one another. Thank you
So because people insist on not reading first we should be obligated to helping them anyway even tho a simple search reveals 95% of the answers? The point is to get people to look for the answer first instead of clogging up the forum with yert another worthless thread like this one. It's a developer forum not tech support. And yes it would be easier to just answer this question for the 100th time but after having answered it for the 50th time its more fun to try and get others to be shamed into searching first.
For those posting in this thread, figured it would be a good idea to remind all about the forum rules you accepted when you joined XDA:

Cmon, you can't have development without tech support. Its like saying you can't have bread without butter. The two just go together. If ur going to develop, expect support because its your product. Furthermore, questions arnt worthless nor stupid, just somones lack of knowledge and experience that you may have to give onto others. Additionally; searches may yeld several methods or answers, not just one. So again, my lack of experience may come in the form of a question, such as this thread to better equip myself with the right or successful answers.

The difference here, is that this is a community-supported forum. XDA is not about "tech support" in the traditional sense, more in users-helping-users. It is important to search before doing anything - and to pursue many of the answers given to find the one that works in your situation. To see multiple answers and then decide to not pursue any of them because there are too many is not helping the community as a whole - and is against the very rules you agreed to upon membership.
All of your questions are answered in stickied threads which are in fact up to date for what you are wanting to do.

Ok, I would like to see some proof instead of signing up to some Ponzi scheme.
$5,000,000 USD is a lot of money to spend on a new company so I am leaning towards the aforementioned.
Ok now it seems even more dodgy, you have no proof but your promising $5,000,000 revenue?
Ok..

Just a hint about that part. You are not selling a product or service. But you are in this case encouraging other members to sell a service to you.
The rules might be a bit grey about whether it is allowed to advertise that you will buy a service if a member will sell the service you are looking for.
You are a fairly new member of XDA so I won't report this. But more to inform you about this behaviour being against the rules.
As I said the rules might be in the greyzone or not about encouraging other member to sell you a service because you are buying but I still think that this is an inappropriate thing to advertise here on the forum based on the current rules XDA have.
Quoting from the rules:
7. Do not spam, sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
On the 30th Nov 2012 the Marketplace closed. The buying, selling, trading and / or exchanging of any item is now prohibited on XDA, in any forum or via Private Messages. We now use www.swappa.com

It won't install I made a copy of it and tried to install in cm12. My guess is it won't install on non Sony ROMs or it could be issues with the Bluetooth. Since I'm on cm12 I use sixaxis app. Or you could buy a micro to mini USB.

Are you talking about the section 12. Using the work of others. ?
or, 11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
This thread is to update people who're interested. This is not for selling !
I am not an fan of just sending my work to others, which who i do not know nor trust fully.
I have had people who stole design work and said it was their own work. Which is not something i want, it would just mean my time would have been wasted
You may have a nice day.
