A little Elf bait

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.
We do accept freedom of expression where it is politely and intelligently expressed and does not constitute a personal and abusive attack on other forum users.
Members need only use common sense to see the boundary between reasonable good behaviour and repeatedly going too far.
This is not a forum where people should be tuning in to be voyeurs to the latest tirade of flaming and colourful language - there's lots of other fora you can go to for that.
Here endeth the lesson - now let's have some fun

Yes, he has been welcomed into HOFO with warmth and open arms. I expect he will be their senior mod soon!

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.
Just my .02 (monetary unit of your choice)

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 think it's a freeware. i don't see any crack or serial on it.
you had to jump! good boy!
i love beautiful soules like yours. so righteous!
bet u already download it but a thank you was too long to type.
you had to jump... good boy! sit! don't worry, you'll get rewarded but the admin!

I dont get it isnt this the same 1.0.5 version people are complaining about right now?

same as before
1.0.5 can handle some sites that 1.0.0 cant, but the opposite is also true. I havent seen any huge benefit in 0.5.
As far as it being freeware, that is laughable! It isnt protected, true, but Picsel certianly doesnt want it floating around. It is hilarious that the original poster is using the advertisment from Picsel's own site as incentive to download an illegitimate copy.
Anyway, since this software isnt for sale (it is strictly a program included on device ROMs), I think the forum mods are allowing these kinds of links to exist until Picsel complains. Which they do, with annoying perserverance.
Anyway, it is an amazing browser, so get it while you can. Perhaps if enough people pirate it Picsel will wake up and put it on sale.

Also, I am going to take this chance to beg again for anyone who has access to the Japanese langauge pack for this program to post or point to it.

But, you yourself said that you got it from a WAREZ site, and you put the link in the thread, that's a big no no. This will be locked soon.

understand the rules don't apply them blindly: warez means cracked/illegal soft. this one it is NOT illegal. it is from a warez site (don't go there!!!!!!! they eat ppll!!) 317 views! there is hope! hehehehe..
stop being so prudes and enjoy it. is for free and works wonderful. i played with it for hours in my trinity. it is fast, and very versatile. look what it can do for the e-mail. btw, it is not 1.05. this was a mistake of the original poster. you have (ooops, i have 'cose you still debate if it warez or not) 1.0.0 build 2319.
do you want the 1.05?

Guys, do NOT post Picsel on this board or ANY links to either it or to the edited-out warez site. Thanks!

While it's an OEM app, it's still prohibited to distribute it. XDA-Devs has received several threats from the developers of Picsel.
All in all: no links to Picsel.

i give up! i surrender! white flags all over my PC!! sorry. going to have a harakiri ritual. hope larsuk will assist me (he knows for sure what harakiri is). it's the only way out...good bye!

That particular Warez site seems to make very good use of this forum, all the cool apps from here are there, without any permissions I imagine. It is a nice browser however which having tested I would consider buying if they sold it. Since they don't sell the app. they don't lose any revenue from people ripping it off, or am I missing something?

I agree they don't need to protect their stuff because they don't sell it (this is how a lot of other OEM's act: they at least tolerate the community's distributing their ripped versions). Picsel, owever, is a (rare) exception.

man this is an awesome app

Oh, come on, stop teasing me, where to get it from? I'm sooo curious... What site are you talking about? I wanna try it! Badly!
Perhaps a PM wouldn't get xda-dev into trouble? Or maybe an email?

we could make some serious $$$$!
anyway, i have to say that taking an OS and modifying/cooking.....well it is not 100% "something new". our cookers are not even ready to share before they cook and put their name on it. so...."who ever is pure let be the first to throw the stone".....

A lot of time went into making this theme, please be kind enough to leave me a thank you message or make a small donation.
Buy me a coffee.

Nice work! A little Toshiba TG01 influence in the background?

Yep you've spotted it correctly! =)

I AM NOT WHINING!
I am simply asking you guys a question and if you can't answer in a normal and polite fashion then maybe you should ask your mom if she could have paid more money for you to get a proper education.
You don't have to be so rude to me, you probably don't even know me.
I don't think I give this forum a bad name, I've made lots of skins in the past and I helped a lot of people with troubleshooting.. I don't ask dumb questions, I use google. etc.etc. Please don't blame me for thing I did not do.
I'm not asking for money, I'm just trying to figure out how much people want this. The poll doesn't mean that if nobody wants to donate I won't release it.
I'll also release the skin if lot's of people let me know that they want it. (with a comment, a answer in the poll or maybe even a small donation)
Ugh.. I think that if all developers would answer like you do, nobody would come to xda.
e.g.
Q(leecher): Thanks for the great skin but I'd love to see this button skinned also, could you?
A(developer): Well who do we have here? Mister: I-Can't-Do-Anything-Myself, please stop whining, I'll skin that button whenever I want to!
Not so kind huh?
Have you even read my threads? I'm not the worst guy you know.
So who wants a skin?

well, I wanted the theme when i first saw it, but after I read your post I changed my mind...
"I want to know how many people are willing to give something in return for this? I timed my work this time and it has been well over 20 hours of work."
you want money...thats it, and I dont like greedy people

Nah I don't!
Please please, don't think of me like that. I'd love to see some money yes, true.
But don't we all? It's not the reason for me to hold this back from the community.
The point is that I want some more appreciation.
Not a thousand downloads and 40 thank you messages.
I don't think I'm the only developer who thinks like this.

Paul, do read what i posted in your minimal phonecanvas thread.
No one in xda-devs is to ask for donations. We give for free, or not at all.
if people decide to donate, they're more than welcome.
We here, SHARE skills and knowledge.
about thank yous and appreciation. people appreciate even without writing thank you.
if your problem is appreciation and you feel that your work is not well credited, you can debate over it in the General section.
and just to make thigns clear. the fact that so many people are using your skins should prove that your work is HIGHLY appreciated.
Please, either release your skin, or let me know so i can delete this thread so that no further argument will be held over this issue.
Thank you

Yes I will release the skin, not this evening I think. I have to go now, but maybe tonight and otherwise tomorrow.
Still I'd like to point out that I'm not asking for donation.
I'm asking for more appreciation.

appreciation is rewarded automatically, not asked for.
If you can honestly tell me that you have given to xda more than you've gotten from it (knowledge, skills, skins, applications), I am willing to eat my hat.

No can't tell you that.
And I love xda, everybody helps each other out.
The thing that bugs me are all those users who keep on leeching and never say thanks or do something back for the community.
Well, sorry to make a big deal out of this. Never wanted to but it just doesn't feel right the way things go lately here on xda.
I'm off, bye.

users who show no appreciation will bring trouble over themselves, trust me.
Trust that you are appreciated. I love your work. look at your minimal dialer thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395086
many many others love it too.
leech every little bit of info and apps and skins you can from xda-devs.. and give what you can in return.
that's what makes us xda-devs

Is it true that it only has to consist of the filles I've changed?

very nice theme..great work pauldgroot..maybe you could also do one for the touch pro with landscape..once again nice work

There you go, it's released into the wild.
-anyone know how to remove the poll?-

WOW! I am going to try this out right now
I have two suggestion thought
It would be nice if you could add and customize call history and comm manager tabs
Maybe a matching landscape theme
other than that it's perfect
Thanks, for your hard work

Clock
Id love to have just the clock alone. Would that be possible?

So if you dont have cm6 and want a theme...

I guess you pretty much have to make it yourself? lol.. I mean i've seen 2 or 3 that werent really my taste but for the most part all of the ones I actually like are only for cm6... whats up with that? I'd actually buy the kuma bear theme.. if it ever comes out.

Manup's rEVOlution theme (with Smooth rEVOlution) is pretty much the only good Sense theme.

Alright this is pissing me off.

I didn't ask anyone for donations to help me get it fixed, and I keep a non. Working donation button in my sig bc I personally don't want anything until I've released something. The only thing that I ask from you guys is for some respect in the fact that making themes for fun isn't a personal or financial priority for me, and I haven't gotten that.

Oh for fux sake he made a simple mention about your theme in this thread and that's your reaction? His ENTIRE point had nothing to do with you personally other than to compliment your work so much he stated he'd be willing to buy it. And you get pissed off. Think about that.

Can u read? My response was to him saying it looks like it'll never be released.
I guess one if the rules to trolling is being illiterate on demand
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!

And op some themes that I personally like for sense are-
Manups REVolution
MattedBlue (pretty much a remake of Manups but has a nice color scheme)
Konikiubs collection (imo outside of bias towards myself, his themes ate hands down the best... they made Me start theming!)
Riptides color n clear (a nice redeco of konis themes... really well done and nice on the eyes).
That's about all I can think of off the top of my head, but hope you find something in there that fits your fancy till I'm back on track.
As for being annoyed with being asked and asked through my email, my im clients, my pms on here, and even my YouTube... yes, its getting old when the only thread I have on the internet showing the theme says clearly that i haven't had a comp and that's why there haven't been updates. It's old.

I was going to let this go, because it's really not like me to keep crap like this alive, but, TJ, I've seen too many times (some deserved, some not) where you've gone off like some 15 year old punk with a tiny hard on, a ruler, and a really sad face. So after some thought, I figured I would respond.
1. "Can u read? My response was to him saying it looks like it'll never be released."
Yes, I can read, and I appreciate your concern for my well-being. I'm also sorry you won't be releasing your theme, but I do hope you enjoy it. (stop sniffing for sarcasm, there wasn't any in the above).
That out of the way, I'd like to say that I do think you have a very creative eye, and I do respect your work. I dabbled in graphics design a long time ago (Think Amiga Toaster days) and respect quality work when I see it. And from what I see of your work in the youtube video and the screen shots I'd call that quality work.
Back to the "reading" thing. As a matter of fact I read the following in your original post - you know, the one you can edit....
Latest Update (over 2 weeks ago)
"8/18: Haven't updated this front post for a while, but a ton of progress ahs been made. Really have learned a lot about the xml, and am getting better at finding my way around these files. Updated the dialer, facebook widget/app (yes, the app itself), and all of the popups (dialerr, notifications, etc etc.). Still lots more little tweaking to do, but deifnitely check out the gallery and let me know what u guys are thinkign or what you wanna' see!"
I also read in your OP that you have a Web server up - congrats on that! It's at:
http://kumastyle.free-forums.ca/forum.htm
Except, don't try to register, post, or read any content because there is none. 1998 called and they want their Web server back.
Oh, I also read this in your OP (not your sig, your OP):
"Of course, if you download, like, and want me to continue making these PLEASE donate (paypal: [email protected]). A lot of people may not see what goes into these, but it's hours and hours of tedious effort just to make a phone look "spiffy"."
If you do work for other phones on this site, or hell, even if you don't, I have no problem whatsoever with you putting a donate link in your sig - You're the one that's gotta go to sleep at night with your actions.
But when you go out of your way to beg for donations in the original post (and when you say "PLEASE" in all caps, that's begging on the internet, FYI...), what the hell are you really looking for? Do you really want us to donate to a vapor-ware theme, a youtube video and some screenshots? Take that down, man, it's humiliating.
I am certain that if I were to read through your thread I would find your computer woes, disgruntled posters, and people (like me) asking for the zip file to download. And while that must be frustrating, as long as you neglect your OP, you are going to keep seeing this until the thread finishes imploding. You'll see it anyway, but at least you'll see a lot less of it. And judging by your social skills, it seems to bother you, so you really might want to consider that. You obviously have time to post on here using *some* method.
Do what you will, but don't come into someone else's thread *****ing like you do - it's an embarrassment to you and the forum, in my opinion. Take the time to clean your own house.

The neverending story....

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

all i want to know when moto atrix is getting ics.i also have sgs captivate and it is running on ics port and woking very well.so i also want to have ics on this phone also.pls do it quickly

I like the x10 forums, things are usually more peaceful and people more helpful here.

lol, before this thread gets closed i would love to point out that we have had our moments here, we can mix it with the big boys
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.
