This isn't really complicated but for whatever reason many don't follow the basic outline for posting. So let's see if I can help
Step One
*Have you searched for the answer to your problem/question?
If not do this first, both the search button in the XDA forums and Google work wonders.
At least attempt to show you did a little research before you scream help or this ROM is garbage, Not searching or just simply complaining will get you ignored EVEN IF YOU WRITE IN ALL CAPS
All questions belong in Q&A Forum All General Phone discussion in General NEVER post random problems in Developers section
Step Two
So you have searched for your answer and can't find it, that's okay, it happens to all of us. But before you create a new thread seek out a similar one (in the proper forum for you phone) and ask there.
You may think a new thread is better but in truth people look at the old ones just as much, and keeping all similar questions in one thread helps to elevate congestion and makes the next guys search a ton easier.
Step Three
Know what to post. This means explain your problem as best you can (don't write a book, just not "help my phone is possessed by demons" as this is not helpful)
So this means explain all about your phone, boot into your bootloader and write down all from that screen within your post. Explain how you rooted your phone. Explain where your troubles began and what you have tried to do to fix it.
Give details as much as possible, this usually will include a logcat. Which there are many ways to get, learn how to before you have a problem.
Code:
adb shell dmesg ; adb logcat -b system -b radio -b events -b main
Also read
THIS or maybe try
THIS
Use
pastebin or codewraps around your logcat ( # sign from above)
Obviously every problem and question will require different information, but the more you give the better chance someone can help you.
Step Four
Wait for your answer, do not post the same question in ten threads, one will do. While you are waiting keep searching for your own answer.
When someone gives you help say thank you (with the thanks button preferably - don't make a post that just says thanks... not ever)
Even if you don't like the answer be grateful someone took time from their day to try and help if you think it's bad advice, maybe reiterate your question and politely ask for a clearer or better explanation to the solution.
Once you have an answer
Edit first post to add the fix. If there was no fix maybe explain why there is no fix in first post.
This will help others searching for a similar problem later. Make sure your helper was thanked as well.
*Remember ROMs, Kernels, etc, may be posted in the developer section, basic questions shouldn't be in those threads.
If you must add something, like a bug report,
be sure to add a logcat or you likely wont be helped.
Happy Flashing!
