where did the tutorials for hero go

wtf???!!! i was using one then the page refreshed and its gone and now im stuck with a half done phone...what gives

Everything was merged into the main hero thread.
Thread locked and moved.

This Ridiculous
There were multiple threads, each taking a different approach , about various issues concerning the HERO rom. I know the mods are doing their job but this is extremely frustrating when a thread is actually helping you. I managed to get HERO rom working with Lawrence's thread and then I tried to push a new VK through another Tutorial thread but guess what ? It was removed and now my VK doesn't work. How am I suppose to ask questions? Where did the thread go?
If you are going to delete a thread, move it, or merge it, it would be extremely helpful if there is a sticky or something letting us know.

they were all saying the exact same thing in 40 dialects, it's repetitive useless information and doesn't really do anything but clutter the forums.

I dont see one thread with the information i am looking for? where is the consolidation? where are they merged?

I totally agree. This deleting of the threads is getting out of hand. I was almost done with the step by step instructions by lawrence when the thread was deleted!!

I guess the short answer to your question is don't venture into uncharted waters, i.e. messing around with a beta ROM that you have no idea how stable it will be, and not really having an understanding of exactly how to troubleshoot on your own. This is a developers forum, not a place to ask a thousand questions, each of which has either been asked or answered already.

that's my point. its too bad because the only reason i got hero to run was because of Lawrence thread. now where is it?
--Bakler--
I dont want to ask questions; i just follow the developers own tutorials and thats it. but im forced to ask questions when the thread im using is removed.

JustAnotherCrowd - HERO ROM
There was a thread on a rom JustAnotherCrowd was about to release, looked real promising but now its been deleted.... What's up with that?

i swear people really? are you fing serious?
read the instructions, understand what they are doing, then do it. this stuff is beta, its not even suppose to work on the g1. if you want a stable os on your phone then dont fck with it.
creating threads crying about how somethingdidnt work just looks childish.
if you want to ask a question, goto the irc where people are there to help each other. creating thread after thread or posting after posting isnt going to solve your problems...

As someone who is NOT rushing off to unstable hero builds, I for one do like the cleaning up of those threads. If its hero related, it should be kept in hero thread. There was one hero thread, and 4 'how to fix hero' threads. This clutters up the forum. Everyone is rushing to an unstable build to get to rosie UI and not realizing flashing to hero requires some knowledge and following directions extra carefully.
Either people should STOP making new threads for fixing hero, or people actually read before flashing it to see EVERYTHING that is required to do before loading it.
Thanks mods.

mods are deleting **** for joke lol

stop creating threads asking where threads went.

this thread isnt about complaining about malfunctions. its about discretion. where are the threads that actually help ?

and 'm sure JustAnotherCrowd is working hard getting his ROM together and it didn't seem fair that his post was deleted

Many threads have started to dissapear.
Not sure what's going on.
I'll to find new links for the ROM database.
If anybody has any links for the builds, please let me know.
Twitter accounts or anyway to contact the developer will do.

Thanks

DEVs - You've been called upon to remove an app!

This is quoted from the developer of SetCPU and his thread:
ROM developers: I became aware of a number of devs who are now bundling this version of SetCPU with ROMs. For now, do not include SetCPU with your ROM. If it is in your ROM, please remove it. I'm probably going to find out a solution to this but barely anyone is giving (enough) credit or mentioning that it's also in the Market, and on top of that, they are putting their own donate links in there (the worst offenders do not give credit at all). Most devs are putting the APK in /system/app making purchasing (donating!) and upgrading SetCPU difficult, and rendering the one time donate link useless. That's a kick in the face to me. No dev has bothered to ask me for permission. It's really irritating me - SetCPU has been a huge effort, it's older than most of your ROMs (look at the date of this topic, look at how many times it's been updated - this isn't even the full changelog), and I would like people to at least read this thread.
I appreciate the work you're doing, but link to this thread instead. It is free here.
Here is the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419

I posted this a couple weeks ago.

well I believe you should post this through the entire site as many of the dev’s have moved on to other phones I did read the notice about 3 weeks ago, it was posted, Hopefully others will follow your request even if they are just upgrading an existing rom or a new one from scratch.

Yeah, this is a very good app. .. I had no promblem getting the paid version after useing it compared to the overclock widget

Thread moved to General.

I removed from my rom before it came out of testing phase. I actually prefer overclock widget but that's a different convo

Unless this is a PAID APP there is no reason anyone can't use it any way they see fit. This is an open source community, which means there are no requirements to give credit, that is a courtesy. I agree that they should you give you credit, but you have no right to say they can't use it.

If u look in the market it is a paid app. On xda he gives it out for free but respectfully asks that since its a paid app he shares here for free then he would like people to be directed to his page to get it. Makes sense to me. There is a lot of info on his page and u find out who made it and how to use it.

First off, this is another bad call by mods toi move this to a general section when out of respect for the developer of the app, it was posted in he development section since it is directly affecting ROMs that are being made.
I agree it should be sitewide but that's not my business.
In response to you, chfields, I really hope you're not directing that response to me personally. I am not the one who made the original post. I made this post so the guys here who make ROMs can respect a man's wishes. Simple as that.
cbarlan: you're absolutely correct. Devs here, as well as anywhere else, should be respectful enough to post a guide on how to use it or whatever, or at least post a simple link and not include the application, per the app dev's request.
Guys, it's a respect issue mainly. I aint stirring the **** pot, aint trying to make anyone upset, and I don't think this information will get the proper attention it deserves being shoved off into a non-related sub-forum when this information directly affects the development of any ROMs that use this app.

I am well. I posted it after he posted about it on Twitter. However, I got some jerks that posted on mine saying that I was just trying to stir up trouble and stuff...I am not..I just want people to be recognized for their work. He updates often and works hard. OC widget gets updated once every 6 months. How are you doing?

I am on top of the world and ready to help people out wherever I can! Thanks for asking. I think people might feel like I am trying to stir trouble too but trays not the case. When the guy posts something like that, attention needs brought to it. Know what I mean?

[Q]

What are the rules about posting other peoples work, i.e. ROMS and themes? Im not sure but I see over in other forums, like the EVO for example where 5 people are making ROMS using a base that they give credit to one guy for. I only ask this because over here in the D2 section, there is only 3-4 different groups working on stuff, everyone is tight lipped and not willing to let anyone in on the "secret". I see random posts where it says that the source for the base of ALL these ROMS is open, meaning ANYONE should have access, and ANYONE should be able to do as they please with them. I know that is not the case and it comes down to who you know, just like anywhere else in life, but I think the community is only being held back because we only have those select few working on new stuff....DONT get me wrong, all the devs. are doing amazing work for us D2 users, I just think we are being limited alot. I sent a pm to one dev in particular asking him to release a variant of his themes with the ApeX flip and fly out transition animations added. They are really cool and they compliment his ROMS well. I even got permission from some others to use those. I not only didnt get a response, but when I pm'd him askin why he hadnt responded, he said he never got it, (I still have it in my outbox). I just think it would be cool to have, say, a Fission Blackout ROM with the blackout Swype and android keyboard, and the cool transitions from ApeX, and only have to flash one zip in recovery. Im just sayin. Im not being ungrateful so please dont tear me apart, just puttin it out there

Straight from XDA rules
Forum Rules said:
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

Post Your Setup!

Well after my first week or so now of messing around with my EvO I figured it was maybe time to start posting.
I was thinking that maybe a whole thread of other people's setups they are using right now. (I know people change a lot, so maybe it would be cool for you to go back and add your changed setups to your original post.) I think by doing this it might help out other people and then also give others idea's.
I know some people put this information in their signature but I think that maybe it would be cool if this information was also included in one area that would be easy for others to locate. But this also means that for this thread to even work properly it's going to take a group effort.
Open for input, just shoot me a PM. (If no one post in the next four hours I will post mine first....

Already a thread like this in the theme section.
Swyped from my SBC powered ticking time bomb.

Sweet thanks a lot for the link. I just figured a thread like this would have been located here in this forum. Oh well......
Again thanks for the heads up with the link.

Use of theme in ROMS

Guys, I'm very upset : I made this theme and shared it on this forum last week.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705838
Now, I see ROMs coming using my themed apps, and even nearly all my theme.
Nobody ask me anythink, to use some part of my work, and I've never seen any credits on those ROM thread. That's sad.
It's ok if people use my work and like it, but please, just a little "thanks" is not too much to ask, right ?
UPDATE : Xenon added me in the credits part.

people should defently credit you where your work is used dude and its out of order that your not getting credit for your work
i hope it gets sorted and your work is recognised as yours
have a good day
edit
your 1st link doesnt take you to your theme but i guess the rom that is using your theme

I think the link of your theme topic is not the right one.
But you're right, those devs suck. You can send them a message to warn them and the might precise that you're the theme maker on their topics.

Agreed it's not right. (If indeed true.)
It's best to PM the Developers and resolve the matter privately first in a civilized way.
Cheers.
Edit- Ah, I've just seen you've posted on the thread already. Disregard my opening statement.

Sorry I made a mistake on my theme link, fixed it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705838
If I started this thread, it's because I see that sereral ROMs are posted here, and no credits at all is given. No credits for theme, kernel, or even the original ROM they use, like 'hey, here is my work, I done it alone'.

PM all the devs/cookers who used your theme! If it gets sorted that way cool, or else time to call mods

yes, thanks. Xenon now added a credits on me, and I added his ROM in my thread. That is the kind of 'win-win' relationship I'm talking about.
I agree that most of the time, just by asking the devs, problems like that can be resolved quickly.

Really Sorry about this situation that I put you in. I tried to find your name but couldn't. It won't happen again. I assure you. Even when somebody asked me that if it is your theme. I CLEARLY pointed out that it's NOT mine. Sorry again.

Feel free to PM me with any ROM that has not properly credited your work, and myself or another moderator will have a look at it.
XDA rules dictate to attempt to solve these issues prior to posting in the open forums.
