Not sure if this is the right forum, but I was wondering if anyone had seen LegolasTheElf. Trying to sort something out and I have not gotten a repsonse to my PM. He is usually prompt.
He got mad and left right after he got banned. Post your problem, I'm sure someone can help.
I think he's hanging out over at HTC-Devs.com
I've seen a few posts from him over there
Thanks Timtown.
I know where the fool is...

XDA castoff looking for new home!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm one of the senior guys from XDA -- look for any posts by LegolasTheElf on XDA and you'll see what I mean
Anyways, I'm one of the experts on the HTC TyTn/Hermes/8525. I thought I'd introduce myself here, and offer some assistance.
Here are MY ground rules:
1) If you keep asking me the same questions over and over again, don't be surprised that I either don't answer you, or give you a really stupid answer.
2) I can tell you what you need to know to get WM6 on your device WITHOUT bricking it. I can FIX bricks. Here's the deal. If you want general help, that's great. I can do it. If you want 1-on-1 support, you'll need to PM me and make arrangements to compensate me.
Anyways, I'm not going to be on XDA again, for a while.. So, HoFo just gained a HTC expert

LOL....he's getting around a bit then - I've seen him "hanging with JJ" over at 4winmobile too
Having gotten himself and his alter ego (xQx) banned by shogunmark, I'm sure he's bound to (try to?) sneak back under the radar to taunt some poor unsuspecting n00b
For now, at least, the Elf's on the dark side
Mark.
Legolas is saying on HoFo that he was banned because he criticized a Moderator. Just for the record, that is not the reason he was banned and the decision was not taken lightly.
To keep the spirit and quality of this site we will not tolerate abusive language particularly when used to describe other members, or those who cannot accept that this is a community where the opinions of others deserve respect.

I admit, he is a bit harsh and may have taken it a bit too far, but who doesn't get frustrated. I would rather take some good advice from someone who demands that I do my homework, than get bad advice and a $500 brick. He is knowledgeable and helpful, if not a bit abrasive Seriously, if I had a vote (which I don't), I would keep him around for his knowledge I'll take the personality quirks that go with it. I realize this may not be a popular opinion atm, but he has unbricked a bunch of Hermes.

If i myself would have only seen what all has happened on the surface then i would probably agree with you, but there has been a lot that has happened in the background that most people dont know about, nor will we make it public.. but i can assure you that the things that have happened in the background completely goes against the xda spirit...
Well, if nothing else, this story illustrates what we should all know well by now ... the internet and technology makes this a very small world ... and there no longer is the fiction of maintaining/making reputations in isolation ... a quick stroll through the HOFO thread make this point crystal clear.
Not to get biblical, but the "reap what you sow" line comes to mind.

Perhaps another mod should do the cleaning as I seem to be in the firing line here. I would just say that the above graphic was a purely humorous post originally created at the time M$ was making us take down the ROM archive (Hence "no Mr Gates don't do it")- it was certainly not any kind of criticism of Shogun for whom I have great respect. Let's not loose our sense of humour.
Mike
Mike, I apologize, and not because you are a mod, but because I was wrong about you.
I never seen the image when it was used about the rom archive, and immediately seen it as bashing shogunmark.
@ Todd, "the kindler gentler elf" has already mentioned brainless people can't read in his posts already, and also, I don't care if I am senior or noob, (its fairly clear the intent of the Elfs avitar, even though Mikechannon had nothing to do with it) Im going to say something about it, I can't even believe he was let back in, to be honest.

How did you get out of the insane asylum? I was told to watch my language.. I did that.
My avatar has everything to do with the ROM archive being removed.. What were YOU thinking it was?!?
Personally, I just keep hearing the Wizard of Oz when I read your posts... Something about the scarecrow and his one desire.. But, I don't quite remember the words.
Anyways, enjoy the rest of your day! And, thanks for your great input!
The reality is that you don't have to like or agree with me. But, if you really hate everything I do and say, just add me to your ignore list. However, what fun is it to only read one side of an opinion? Maybe you're one of those people who are afraid of having an open mind.. Things can fall out.

I dismiss it and it doesn't go away. Second of all I'm new to all this, and I dont have a ton of extra stuff on my PPC but it seems to run slow. Closing out slow, and pulling up programs slow.

It's kinda annoying wading through the massive amounts of stupidity on here asking the same questions over and over again because NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE F***ING SEARCH BUTTON IS FOR!!
I think it's kind of annoying wading through posts (after using the search button, by the way) thinking that someone has an answer to or a tip for a problem that I may have too only to find that someone is ripping on them for asking a question.

I am sympathetic to this point -- this forum has become so popular the key threads end up with 100's of msg., often out of sequence so it's really hard to follow when you're looking for something -- and it seems like most of my searches come up with thread references (usually the long ones) not specific msg. hits. Whether callmemoe looked hard enough on his own, I think the moderators and senior members need to take a look at the length of the key threads and cut some slack here!
There are two features that will help:
1) You can search and select to view the POSTS themselves, not just the threads. This is a big help.
2) You can search WITHIN a thread. Go to the thread you are interested in, and use the Thread Search option at the top of the thread. This will help you sort through the 800+ messages in a popular thread.
Oh, and sometimes, you just have to read ALL 800 messages!
I seldomly ask questions on here, because I lurk more, and learn more. The search button does work, tho a little tricky at first! I think some people can be a little too harsh on newbies when all you have to say is "use the search first, then ask later!" and just leave it at that. Johnnyshu0129, I encourage you to do alot of reading and keyword searching. To every question you have asked on here its already been discussed or is being discussed! Everything i wanted to know about my 8525 was relatively easy to find on here. Once youve done your research and, if theres something that you just cant grasp, then ask, because the vets on here, are really nice and love to help those who take out the time to help themselves first. They put in alot of work and time making programs and posting information that theyve discovered. All you have to do is wiki, and search button!

I think I speak for all the senior members when I say that we will gladly help *anyone* who we see as taking the time to at least TRY to understand what they're doing. Lord knows, I didn't get it the first time through, and I even bugged Pof about some issues.. But, it was filling in pieces of the puzzle that I didn't understand initially--not to ask for hand-holding.
It's OK to ask things like, "I understand that you can flash your OS and BootLoader using mtty, and also by using SSPL. I'd like to understand the differences between the two methods--is there a wiki page that has a comparison of the two?"
It's NOT ok to ask things like, "I'm a n00b and I want to install a winmob6 on my ph0ne. How do I do that?"

Because being here 4 months with 100+ posts makes you a senior member? You are only a "senior member" because of your post count. That and a buck 50 wont even get you on the train. Posts like this make your "senior" status less credible.
Why not swallow your pride and answer the question.

Well, sure.. That, and I've actually READ the WIKI and appropriate threads on here to know what the hell I'm talking about.
I even know how to use the search function! I know, it's a strange concept to some here, but, searches, and wiki reading are actually USEFUL!
I have also read the WiKi and all the appropriate posts. My phone still works, and I didn't have to post any questions. But that still doesn't stop me from answering a question. I don't think its always neccessary to grille a noob.
@teknics - that's great.. Hang around here long enough, and contribute back to the community by posting/answering good questions, or even taking it upon yourself to solve a common problem/concern, and you'll be a valuable addition to this community.
It's not about posting questions or answering them. It's about discovery and helping each other figure things out. The spoon-feeding is in the Wiki.
Oh, and the other thing that bugs me is that n00b's will create new threads when their post belongs in an existing thread. New threads do NOT get noticed 'more' than a new post in an existing thread.
I doubt I will ever contribute anything the likes of Pof or Sleuth, but I do plan on sticking around.
I just get annoyed when people act dumb on forums, so I appologize if I sounded harsh.
Charming gentleman this legolas.
Respect
I will do more searching before asking. I understand where your all coming from. And I respect that. I will reveiw more before asking questions. I appreciate the help from everyone. Maybe one day I'll be able to contribute as much as I take from this site.

If you truly wish to provide help, then your initial response should have been something along the line of: "Hey, I did a search and found this, <LINK>, maybe it'll help."
Instead of stating how stupid someone is to ask a question that has been already asked...
Any forum will have more 'lurkers' than posters, your response will not help these folks become active members here.
There is no such thing as a stupid question, but I have seen many stupid answers...
Hi all,
Just a suggestion as I'm not a developper, as I'm not gifted in english Maybe a nice real Finger Friendly Alarm should be a good idea... I've tried the one of the Iphone and it's just awesome
Now, running SPB Time, great but need stylus, as all I've already tried.
Maybe SPB Time can be skinned to be used with fingers too....
So, as said, just a suggestion for those who love their Diamond as me and who like to developpe

pls LOCK this thread
Wow kultus... Impressed... Really... Actually, already tried Klaxon but not convainced. So, be nice and don't ask to close the thread cause it could interest other people like me.
Then, klaxon as SPB Time are not appearing in TF3D. This should be fixed soon I hope.
Maybe people like choices as me as I don't like to have only 1 option. Guess you're happy with Klaxon, nice for you.
Enjoy

Klaxxon does appear on tf3d... it has two large buttons, off and snooze... freedom of choise is ofcourse wonderfull thing, but you should not bash a guy when hes making soft on his spare time, FOR FREE!

I am assuming you're probably the same guy that got all pissed and made the anonymous comments on my site. Klaxon doesn't pay the bills, my full time job does. So that is what I do during the week.
In my spare time on the weekend, I work on fun programming projects. Incidentally, these projects I worked on in my spare time, and distributed for free, are the foundation of most of the other applications you see being developed for the Diamond (such as Sensor API and OpenGL ES).
So before you go and give me loads of crap about how I must address problems that you are having in an application I distribute for free, you should remember beggars can't be choosers. Learn to ask nicely, and I may get around to it when I can.
I've already looked into the volume issue, and I can't find the problem. And I have no idea how to fix it, because I don't even have that problem on my Diamond. There is nothing I can do from my end. But since you have the time to berate me, feel free to dig through the attached source code to find the problem you are having with the volume being too low. If there is one, it is in one of those files.
That's quite possibly the most awesome reply I've ever read
Hum... (Trying with my bad english)... Actually, I don't want to enter in a fight about how perfect or bad is Klaxon. The purpose of my thread is just to suggest having a nice "real finger friendly alarm" for our Diamond.
I've tried the one of the Iphone and wow... The result is perfect.
So, please, let the few of us think as we want to think. If Klaxon is not convaincing everyone, where is the problem. Who is convaincing everyone ???
I know the developper of Klaxon invest a lot of time in his app and thruly : Thank you. It's with people like you that our Diamond is improved everyday
Add the fact it's free... what can I say, THANK YOU AGAIN
But please, the purpose of this thread is not to focus on Klaxon. It has is own thread.
Thank all

No need to flame after someone criticizes a comment you made.
In my opinion everyone over here deserves respect how much he\she contributed to this forum.
But you should remember that people with a few post starting to flame on every opportunity they get is not what keeps this forum alive, nor does it motivate people with this great hobby to contribute to the rest of the world.
It's good to have discussions, but no need to create sentences where the majority of the lines needs to been censored because there was no descent word in your vocabulary (no offense btw)
Take this in mind, please Just my 2 cents...

I left a single comment on your site and noticed two others from other people reporting the same problem. All you do is continue to deny the issue, somehow blaming the device for the issue. Well its not the device, as ive said - certainly in my case, playing sounds through the speaker in other apps such as native windows mobile alarm, mp3 player touchflo, windows media player, speaker phone, ring tone, text alert etc the volume is fine. Its only Klaxon that plays so low that it renders the app useless. I appreciate your time developing the app, but im trying to alert you to a real problem here, but your response is one of denial and of arrogance. You claim the majority arent having this problem, yet to be fair the majority are not sticking to official HTC stock ROMs.
I suggest you develop volume control that works within the app to solve my problem and those on your official thread who complain that the alarm is actually too loud!

Respectfully I agree with most of your comments, but how can you berate someone for merely reporting a problem. I have found a genuine problem with Klaxon and have reported it, yet all I recieve is arrogance and rudeness by way of reply. The problem being blamed on my device alone is irresponsible and lazy, its clearly not just my device as others have reported the same problem. Like this guy for example...

Klaxon is awesome (I use it) but if you're looking for a heavily-themed, gesture-sensitive alarm program, I don't think there is one (if there is, I've never heard of it).

I thought we are trying to hack some cell phones here. Who the hell do you think you are making a thread "in android development" that is trying to ban someone! This thread should be taken down ASAP!

Im not supporting this person doing this **** but try to understand this is for android development of the droid x not some kind of blog
and what do you call what he is doing do you see the 2000 views he has had on his bs thread about a droid x rom that makes everyone that is working hard to put something out look bad man we cant let him keep getting away with this its not his first time nor on his first device go read the 100+ post on his dominate rom post in your android dev forum i dont see you over there telling him to stop
The mods have stepped in now i dont know how to remove a thread but i would be more than happy to do so i appologize if i offended you but that kid had to go man

Well Im going to be blunt about this He is a sick **** that likes getting his kicks off by posting fake threads, he is a dumb ass, a lier, and a ****. But even if he gets baned and he will because he has got baned before he will make a new screen name and do it all over again
It is pretty pathetic that his posts go to such an extent that he even puts lengthy changelogs for roms he never even makes.
I think we should all cut him a break and let him stay. I feel kinda bad for a kid thats got nothing else to do. I mean come on, its got to be really bad for him if thats what he calls fun. So sad....Im actually gonna cry a bit. Nevermind I got over it.
This keeps getting weirder. Looking at OP's post history, and I can't help but think that it's actually the same kid. I truly think we're dealing with a troubled young person who has unsupervised 'net access.
This should be moved to "General" forum or something. It honestly doesn't belong in the Dev section. Although it was entertaining.
**** all of you haters...especially arronjb and andre ****face.....

im not the same kid lol
what about my post history ok i have said some stupid things not understanding (Efuse) but i admit i dont understand and i take the things that people say and learn from them. i never claim to work on a project i dont have the know how to complete or even start.
never have i been a burdon to this community being slightly ignorant in the programing and hardware aspect of these devices and os is not a crime and i have always felt the it was incouraged to learn here. so thats what im doing learning im not a devoloper and never have claimed to be one i have offered up my device for testing because i can afford to replace my device if it bricks because i want to see the droid x become as custamizable one day as my poor excuse for an android eris but w/e man think what you will
i am normaly a silent observer and donator so step off bro
This kid really does need the boot, he does nothing but bring drama to this community and this site. He needs to be banned not only for what he's done, but what he might do in the future, he's a virus. There are far too many good people here that want to learn and share info with each other, but this kid basically ruins it for the rest of us. Please do us all a favor and get rid of him(and get rid of him again when he makes a new screen name).
Booooot him!

This isnt the way to handle the situation guys........you are feeding his addiction, how much you want to bet he's sitting there mashing the f5 button anxsiouly waiting to see what everyone is saying about him? After reading his thread about making a Nexus One kernel, I do agree it is getting out of hand but this truly is a job for the mods, the community IS his addicition, and all we are doing is feeding it. I wish I had a solution but after typing a few and then deleting them while typing this post I realize I am at a loss. Even if we all agreed to ignore him, what about the people who are visiting xda for the first time??? I have been visiting the Droid X forum daily since its inception here at xda(day oner), and it saddens me greatly to see this lunacy has spread from the Incredible forum which I have also frequented for some time.
How is this thread not locked yet?

You got drama in my Android development!
I would also support the deletion of this thread.
Haha. i remember this guy from when I had an N1, and yet I'm so naive that he got me again. His act does kind of put a damper on things, but I agree with those who think that he is less of ****ty person than he is a troubled person in need of attention. In fact, while this thread obviously doesn't belong in the Dev forum (or xda at all for that matter), I find this situation fascinating. He would make a great case study for my Master's thesis.
Some of you know me, some don't. I'm more active trough PM then trough posting. But this is something that is bother me for a while and I think a lot of us.
And it can't be done trough PM, believe me, i have tried....
We all (if we are fair) know that the x10 is old mobile. And the most of us don't use a mobile longer than 2 years. So why o why read I so many post of people that are complaining about a update from a dev. Let them move on and give new dev's a chance
My personal top 3 irritations!!!!!
1) if you can't do it yourself, be grateful for everything they do for us and don't complain!!!
2) if we (the users) get a new mobile, how many people still stick to the x10 treads? So why expect a lot of people that the dev's must stick to the X10 forum and development further!!!
3) if a dev don't post for a while, don't post non related post in a DEVELOPMENT TREAD and complain about a update!!!
I have talk with a lot of members trough a personal message and told them about the post they have placed. But I think its a neverending story.
I think when the Mods are more harsher and give quicker a warning and ban people, then maybe people think twice what they post. I know that the mods help xda in their spare time and do all they can. But when you make a couple statements, the word get spread and maybe maybe this will work!
thanks for listening to my complaint
Even though i bought a Galaxy Note, i still read the first page of the General/Dev/Q&A section of the X10 forum daily.
You are right about people complaining to developers for updates, but that's just the way it is. It doesn't have to disturb you, or anyone. Most people ignore these types of begging posts anyway.
My experience in forums showed that having strict moderation won't do a thing. It will only lead to more drama. I know you feel you have to do something about this, but believe me its better if you relax and don't do anything at all. The mods know their job and doing the best they can. Talking to individuals via PM's and trying to explain why they shouldn't do this and that is not only time consuming, but as you can see, it lead you being frustrated enough to start this thread.
This thread will be read by (lets say) 1000, will be replied by 10-20, some may agree, some may not. It then will crawl it's way on the bottom of the page until a similar thread pops up. (There, just saved you some time )
Bottom line is, it's the interwebz. Don't get too attached.
But he is right though

RANT AHEAD!
Unfortunately, you are right. People feel its a right they possess to get the developer to work non stop for them. Things in the x10 forums are still relatively mild though... In the atrix forum, the CM7 thread had to be closed for a period of time due to people complaining and demanding for fixes. And the "thx" posts. Here's a classic example

I have given up with my classic posts of
1. use search next time
2. rule number 1 is not to ask for an eta
3. read the OP
4. why dont you make a backup and try it yourself
its just not worth the ware and tear of my keyboard to make them anymore....
but, we were all noobs once, a bit of tolerance is should be given
im totally agree with you,but hey,you cant fight fire with fire,that just leads to your "never ending story"
Hi,
This is my defense, take this thread in the X10 forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356580
I have just counted 93 posts deleted by moderators and with the warnings posted, about a dozen took vacations for ignoring the developer and moderators warning of being a Dev only thread. Just because you do not see warnings posted everywhere does not mean nothing is being done, most problems can be sorted out using the new infraction system, we use that all the time now, it is easy to use and straight to the point.
This type of thread cleaning and response is happening all the time, reported posts are dealt with much faster and if anybody needs banning, senior mods are available on gtalk to sort it out immediately.

You harsh, Nah. (I do however get the feeling it was you that closed my first thread posted here.) But having an Avatar that is a Happy Face , with a "Heidelberg Scar" doesn't really convoy a feeling of warm, fuzzy comfort to people. More like good mod / bad mod and Colossus= good mod; he even warns people in a very nice polite way. But temporarily freezing threads seems to be doing a great job of allowing the tensions to diffuse. Kudos for that.

Hello and welcome to the Shift world .
Honestly...as somebody who has used this forum a lot...and many other various forums....we honestly should have a mod that truly understands the phone.
Otherwise, the moderators depth of knowledge is lame sauce with an extra side of weakness...just like this burger.

So because I don't own your handset, that makes me......?
I can assure you my knowledge of HTC's and Android is alot better than you'd think.
Just because you may know alot about 1 device does not mean you'd be a good moderator. I quote MikeChannon here.
Moderating is not about having an expert knowledge of the device, it is about encouraging members to follow (and in some cases enforcing) the rules, whilst maintaining a pleasant, supportive atmosphere within the forum.

He was just joking man, you really should hang out on IRC more.
And yes that is OTAking71 in that picture.
LOL
So, I pondered even posting but I feel that this needs to be addressed.
Since when has xda started taking nominations for moderator?
Also, I agree with Crump, and FDXRider. It's nothing personal against vicodan but, if you polled all the shift users you wouldn't be voted in, also, what has our new mod Andy even done?
He introduced himself...
That's it...
Why are people so up in arms about a moderator we haven't seen in action yet?
Lastly... The fact that a mod does or doesn't have the device is so irrelevant... Even if he had the device, would he be able to offer some new found advice on the shift??? Probably not, this isn't a shot at the mod either, as the shift community is rather intelligent.
In my experience mods are here to keep the rules in check and make sure our section is orderly. If he isn't/wasn't doing this I could see where you are coming from with switching mods, but, again, he hasn't done anything other than listen to vicodan complain that he isn't the mod...
Welcome to the shift section again Andy! Good to have you as a mod!
Edit: I also want to ask this... If the device that andy uses has/had a fully functional ROM, mod, etc. that could be ported to the shift and he offered to help port, would you still be opposed to him not owning a shift? I certainly wouldn't...

I've seen a lot of bashing on xda about the mods. We are all human and all have ways of dealing with things. But I agree that a moderator should have a good understanding of the rules and enforce if need be. One rule I've seen go out the door on xda is enforcing the GPL on kernels. Most of the mods don't enforce this and after speaking to the GNU/GPL webmaster about this he is quite disappointed in how online websites don't value GPL anymore as much as they use to. If you distrubite a rom, of course it has a kernel in it. Even if it's not your kernel you are required to post a kernel source link to the kernel source because you are distrubing that kernel binary. Look at how many threads there are that don't have kernel source links.
