Correct. Figured signatures have been around for.. well for forums for years and years. I'll be going on 10 years in January that I've been apart of online community's and working with Photoshop. I just find it a little awkward that a forum for modifying forums has a tutorial/guide for making a SIG. Not trying to troll or be an ass, just wanted to make sure this was serious... -.-

oh, well, thing is.. every person has to come to forums first time in their life no matter how long forums had been on net.. so, if the person does comes to xda forums first. and couldnt understand what all this signature is about.. then it does makes sense to have such a guide..
and we need to keep in mind that android is becoming very well known.. so, new non-tech savy / and new people to forums will be signing up.. so, its always nice to have such help for those people..
PS: i am not saying , i didnt know
i had been in other forums too
Yeah I can understand that. Guess there is a need seeing some sigs like ones described with huge pics and what not, that's just annoying lol.
So with all that said I guess I do see what it can be needed.

signature guide.....
+1 to nitubhasker --> everyone comes to a forum for the first time
@jSterling
You have a point in that, I could easily figure out how to make a signature, but this guide seems to be very informative.
I Would definitely add the devices that I have to work with, but I do not know if I would have intuitively guessed to add all the information, that this guide suggests.
I do not think that I would have ever decided to include my baseband information......
...please I do not want to troll, or sound in any way flamish, sometimes people need things "spelled out" for them....

i came to this thread from search bar, bbecause i was wondering why no setting for signature on my control panel. now i know that i get signature after 8 or more post...
Very useful guide. I myself read a forum about my device almost everyday, I check it regularly, but haven't had many posts lately.
Good thing to know about signatures. I just don't know what's my Touchwiz version, it doesn't show up, but oh well.
I hit the thanks button, if that's a better way to say "thanks".

Well if you see someone's signature is just way too big then you can always report that person to a moderator so they can check it out.I think this guide is really useful, but I think that a limit to signature size must be imposed because sometimes for only few lines of comment there is an huge signature that occupy most of page space!
If they agree, they'll contact the member and speak to them about it.

Folks, can we use the "thanks" button rather than saying thanks. Also, anyone attempting to boost their post count or posting useless posts will have their posts deleted, and you may get reprimanded as well
Glad to help buddy

It's a great community..

First of all, if you don't need to know/ don't think others need to know then why bother posting in here?
Secondly, not everyone knows how to make their sig because after all, for a lot of people XDA is the first internet forum they've been on. Therefore they wouldn't really know their way around.
And finally, the number of thanks on a post doesn't always mean anything. In this case, the thanks are deserved because it is a helpful post, but go onto my profile, click on the Most Thanked tab. You'll see my 4th highest thanked post had no value whatsoever, proving that thanks really aren't important.

What kidcarter said above, plus people expect to be spoonfed these days and the fact we have a lot of idiots

You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think! XDA, mobile wisdom, not a n00b feeding ground!!
I have to say thanks even if the creator said not to for one reason:
I was quite unsure as of why I couldn't create a signature. :silly:
Oh well I guess it happens.

I'm missing the option for "Edit Signature" in my control panel. I only see 4 items under "Settings & Options."

Can I remind all to use the "thanks" button instead of posting thanks. Also, please don't quote the whole first post. Creates unnecessary scrolling for people,especially on mobiles

617Please, can you just press "Thanks" button, instead of typing it? Thanks for understanding.
Hello there, my dear XDA community!
First of all, I would like to say thanks, to my dear buddy, mf2112 for passing on me this thread idea,
and helping and being with during while I was doing it
So thank you very much,I'm so thankful to you!!
Second of all
I had to include this one, because i totally forgot about this, and it's really useful
Especially for newbies in here, who wants to make a signature, allready has 8 or
more posts, but they're stuck! Can't find where to make it!
So my dear friends, this is from XDA to you!
"In order to combat spam, we have placed several restrictions on new user accounts, including the inability to use signatures.
This particular restriction is removed after you make eight posts, but please don’t post junk just to raise your post count. (MOD EDIT - If you do, your posts will be removed and you will receive an infraction)
Once you make eight posts, the system will auto-promote your account (this script runs every hour), and you will be able to edit your signature.
You can find this option on the user control panel (accessible at all times in the forums using the “Quick Links” menu item).
If this answer didn’t solve your problem, use our general contact form to email the webmaster."
So let's start!
I've noticed that there is a lot of people going around in here, asking questions
without explain the problem as it's supposed to be explained, and without explaining
what is the model of the phone, what's their ROM in case they're little bit advanced....etc..
You got my point!
So,I'll do my best in making this guide which is supposed to help you making a
great, well informing signature
1.) Let's see what are specifications of my phone
Ok, if you're Android user, and I asume you are..
The best thing to find out what's your phone specifications is:
- Looking on back of mobile phone box
There is plenty information,but sometimes not enough..
- And also there's informations about your phone in your phone...
To find informations on the box:
To find informations on your phone:
Settings=>About phone=>Software information
There they are!
We don't need know any hardware specifications of your phone, expect the
model of your phone..
That's it, everything else about the hardware, we already know!
So in Software informations is written:
- Android Version
- HTC Sense version (HTC User ) if you're Samsung user, there'll probably be written TouchWiz version
- Software Number (name of your CUSTOM ROM)
- More (baseband,kernel version, etc.) MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS!
Ok, there's already a lot of informations going on!!
But just one more little step to finding out most important informations for your
signature!
That button, "More" there are informations of:
- Kernel version
[*]Baseband (radio) version
[*]Build (base) number
[*]Browser version
We can also add HBOOT (Bootloader) and Recovery version in signature
To access HBOOT (Bootloader) menu on your phone you've got to do this:
First of all, be sure that FASTBOOT is UNTICKED on your phone..
Turn off your phone
Hold volume down button while pressing and holding the power button!
And it should open you screen like this.
If you somehow can't access it with button combination, you can also
download and install QUICK BOOT app from Google Play Store
Which allows you access HBOOT (Bootloader) and Recovery while your phone
is on..
I have to say that that app is just perfect and does her job perfectly!
or
But it's pretty much the same except the numbers
You can see on the first picture is written:
HBOOT:1.17.2008
and in the second one is written
HBOOT:0.35.0017
That's it...now you know your HBOOT version!
Now let's see what Recovery version do we have installed
To access Recovery, you can do it through HBOOT (Bootloader) menu,
Or, with Quick Boot app!
Once you get in there it should be something like this:
Few examples!
These two are 4Ext Recovery!
and we also have Clockworkmod Recovery
So on the 1st picture version is:
v1.0.0.1 RC 2
2nd picture:
v2.1.3
3rd picture:
v2.5.0.1
4th picture:
v2.5.0.7
That's it!
Now we've got our Recovery version written down!
So we've got our informations now!
Now what?
2.) Making a signature on XDA Developers forum
Let's asume that you've got already 5-8 post so you good to go!
If not, read THIS
First of all, login to your XDA account
Next step is...
Enter your USER CONTROL PANEL!
After you entered it, you will get this!
Click on EDIT SIGNATURE!
And that will open you this:
We can make your signature now!
So, let's start!
- PHONE: Manufacture and model name of your phone
- ANDROID VERSION: Android version of your phone
- HTC SENSE or TouchWiz VERSION: HTC SENSE or TouchWiz version
- KERNEL VERSION: Write you kernel version
- BASEBAND VERSION: Write you baseband version
- BUILD NUMBER: Write down you build number!
That's the best pattern of having a best signature!
So what you're going to do?!
You're gonna follow these steps and make yourself a best signature, so
people can help you faster and more efficient!
So COPY/PASTE THESE FEW EXAMPLES IN YOUR NEW SIGNATURE:
Code:Phone: HTC Sense: Software number: Kernel version: Baseband version: Build number:
or
Code:Phone: TouchWiz: Software number: Kernel version Baseband version Build number:
or
Code:Phone: HTC Sense: Software number: Kernel version: Baseband version: Build number: HBOOT: Recovery:
or
Code:Phone: TouchWiz: Software number: Kernel version Baseband version Build number: HBOOT: Recovery:
And after you did that, just fill it with your informations!
When your're not sure what does it look like, press PREVIEW SIGNATURE
in the bottom of the page and it will show it to you what does it look like
before you publish it.
And there's one thing I completly forgot about it..
Modding your signature, adding different styles, pictures, what ever you want
You can do it with BB CODE !
It's all well explained there, so there no need of C/P it in here!
But when you're over with making your signature,when you're completly satisfied
with it, press SAVE SIGNATURE!
And that's it, YOU'VE GOT YOUR SIGNATURE!
I hope that this was helpful to you,and that you successfully made your
signature.
If you're really stuck, or you don't know what and how to do... contact me,anyhow.. I'll be glad to help you!
Suggestions and improvements always welcomed!
If this thread helped you, please Rate it up at the top of the first post.
Cheers everyone!
Please, can you just press "Thanks" button, instead of typing it? Thanks for understanding.27There is a lot of different profiles in here...so i made it as simple as I can..7
First of all dont quote the first post ans if you do, please edit it so it wont consume the whole screen if you post it.
And about your query, you have to do 10 posts until then you can edit your signature. Hit thanks if i was able to help you
Sent from my MT27i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app66By the number of posts without signatures I see on XDA by people with more than 8 posts I think this is needed.
A signature should inform others about your phone when you post a question.
A good signature will include information helpful to others beyond the direct target of the question/reply.
A great signature will inform the community with important information and potentially answer questions which have not been asked yet, avoiding repetitive posts.
Anyone can feel free to copy elements or format of my signature as you like.
