hello , today im protesting about the clever people on here who refuse to help other clever people who cant be bothered to learn how to code script and understand all those lines of coding rubbish.

there is no official thread explaing what the ***************** all this terminal lark means and i would appreciate an instruction manual from time to time.

im referring specifically to,,,,,,the problems i encounter when i try and use my phone,,,thanks!
so have your say if you'd like to be less vague than me

thanks

Well, attacking people doesn't exactly endear people to you. And that "coding rubbish" is the whole reason your device does anything more than sit as a useless paperweight.

The web is full of resources on using Linux from the command line.

Well, you need to be less vague if you want help, to start.

considering you are asking for help from a forum full of linux geeks, starting with a tirade against that same audience is likely to be counterproductive

at the moment all i hear is "you guys are a**holes... plzzzz help!!!!"
