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:

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.

Thanks

PS: sorry for my English about some phrases.

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 ******".
