Please I've seen threads started for less. If we had a mod that'd be one thing. But we don't.

I would love to. But I can guarantee that if this gets taken even halfway seriously, there'll be about 100 other guys jump out of the woodwork to nominate themselves instead. And then something that could have been productive will end up as an epic cluster ****.

In all seriousness, this forum needs moderation badly. TBH, that's a big part of the reason I (used to) avoid it. Any informative thread is quickly buried with a ton of "Help me I can't root" replies. Someone with 'authority' needs to be able to tell these people to read the how-to's, and if it's beyond their comprehension they have no business modifying their device. It's a developers nightmare trying to support his/her work while being flooded with questions answered a million times elsewhere.

I've said this before, I'm not even a dev, I nominate epicclusterfuck for moderation of this forum, we need someone to lock posts, move posts, and ban members after so many warnings. I started on this forum in the Harold/wing section and if you messed around in there you got a quick warning. After that there would be massive flaming.
I never posted over there in fear of being flamed, there is no respect in the hero cdma forums.

i have a captivate running froyo, but is there a leaked froyo out for the vibrant or no?

You can get froyo in the vibrant thro a custom rom.

+1 Agree, This community has become a little bitter - Why ???
People are bitter and frustrated because every day dozens of people are posting new threads about topics that have been answers, already have dozens of threads about the same topic, the answers are in the sticky, or just general whining. I personally have never seen a forum where so many people create new threads about the same exact thing numerous times a day.
The fact that a huge percentage of threads that are questions could be answered by using the search function is also a source of frustration. All of this crowds up the forum making it harder to find people with new issues, actually finding GOOD information (how many times do we need to hear that a TMO rep said something was coming in a week? really), and trying to find legitimate news.
If people on here would display even the most basic forum etiquette, it would be much, much better for everyone.

I do wish there was a little more active moderation in this forum. As for the OP's suggestion that people calm down, spending any time in this forum ~1 day before the JI6 update dropped would have seen no less than 2 Froyo threads in the front page, and there have been by last count 7 within the last month.

This won't happen until they invent the "physical beatdown over IP" protocol. The Internet is what is it because being polite isn't required to escape physical confrontation unscathed. It's easy to be willfully ignorant and to shrug off attempts to be educated, and it's just as easy to browbeat people who flippantly ignore general etiquette. Copernicus would be rolling over in his grave to know that everyone on the Internet thinks the universe revolves around them.
I like how people who just registered an account last month and have a few posts under their belt feel like they can bash anyone who posts here, regardless of the topic.
If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. If you see a thread with a title that you find offensive why do you then go into that thread and proceed to post in it. Seems to me your point would be better served by ignoring the thread rather than spam bumping it with useless information and insults.

because trolling is easier on internet. And I have only seem one modertor working in this forum (he was doing a great job at it), but he isn't around all the time, and for some reason moderate refuse to delete threads that are redundant such as all the 2.2 date predication threads.

Is it really necessary to post a new thread when there are three that have already been posted?
Edit: My intent was not to be an asshole or a douche, or to be "everything that is wrong with XDA." my apologies to the OP if I came off that way.
I was not aware that there were any threads about samsung's response in this part of the forum; all I see are rumor threads. But if there are, I apologize.

Yea, totally different thread. And since my other post was such a joke, I would assume no one is looking at it to see the rebuttal from Samsung, so this thread is perfectly valid.
@Kevin, you said there were 3 of these threads already, but you were obviously wrong, this is the first thread that is dedicated to Samsung's response, so yes-I do consider you the problem because you didn't even know what you were talking about. Samsung just released this update about an hour or so ago yet you act like it's all over the place, when in fact it wasn't at all.
I swear it's like you guys look for chances to be dicks to people on here.
I'd rather some dude post the same article 10 times in a row than to come in and try to belittle people.
This is the 1st time I have seen it, then again, I didn't read through every topic and every thread to see it...
There are multiple threads on the exact same topic. So it isn't necessary to constantly create new threads everytime a new piece of news comes out.
And did you even look at the link I posted? Samsung's response. An hour before this thread was created.
But I digress. I'm done here.

Yea, I saw your link to the post. Your words were that it had been posted in 3 different threads...which it hadn't actually in any at all. It was posted in an entirely separate thread that may have been about the same subject, but this was an actual response from Samsung-something that almost NEVER happens-worth warranting a new thread IMO and others I am sure. So what do you expect...are we supposed to go to every thread and read every post to see if someone has said something before? It's one thing to check for duplicate threads, but to actually go and read every post in every thread? You were trying to be a **** by calling out the OP, but your response to him was 100% false. You failed.
So by saying there were already threads in existence, even one which quotes Samsung's response... That is false?
it would help if you guys would just ignore the BS being said by members that just want to start ****... EA11 is ready for the Epic,but I cant say why it hasnt been rolled out...

You tried to come off like the exact same Samsung reply had been posted already 3x's, so yes-that is false. Explain to me why someone would go to the other threads about the rumor, see everyone mocking it and blowing it off as stupid, and then decide to check the thread again later, just for kicks you think? If 934 people had already seen the other thread, why would they have any reason to go back to it again?...right, because they wouldn't. That's why this one needed to be separate and on it's own so those 934 people could see there was an update and response from Samsung.
I'm pretty sure people are revisiting this thread to see all the bickering going on...
But like I said before, I'm done here.
Good day.

Wow. I know reposts are annoying to a lot of people, but I tend to not be so uptight because one or two reposts every few days on an important subject which sometimes cite different source material doesn't seem so bad. And besides, it may actually be the first time some other guy is seeing it.
But why do I have to go through pages of comments which are all belittling the OP? You sir, did not need to post, as the guy right above you had already mentioned this is old news - why do we need this done more than once? If you don't like reposts, move on, there's no reason we should have pages of useless hypocritical comments in a thread which someone else might find to be useful if not for all the trash.
Also, have you ever tried to search for a URL to see if it's already been posted?

If no threads have a link to this same news article, it is not a repost. People enjoy different perspectives on the same topics.

Our phone is suppose to be a flagship, but it feels like we're playing second fiddle to other phones because of the limitations of the boot loader.

Hehe, this kind of makes me laugh. Why? Here, lemme 'splain:
This is the Interenet. It has Forums. In every single one of those forums, people post the same things, over and over. Repeatedly. In ever single one of those forums, there are forum rules. In every single one of those forums, those rules get ignored. In every single one of those forums, someone posts about how there are rules and that idiot n00bs should use the search function.
What's the point of all this? That it doesn't matter. To borrow a quote, "This has all happened before, and it will happen again." The ass pointing out to the n00b to use the search function doesn't need you to tell him he's being an ass any more than I need to tell you that it's pointless. And even if THAT n00b starts to use the search function, some OTHER n00b will be along shortly posting the same thing. This is how the internet works. And until ALL anonymity goes away, that's just how it's going to be. Seriously, don't get worked up over it. Just realize to yourself that there's another repeat post that's going to be criticized and move along to the next post. Or answer the n00bs question (as I find treating the n00bs question as if it's the first one ever REALLY annoys those that get worked up over them )
The structure of this ROM Work-In-Progress Topic is incredible! If Epic devs and chefs were as careful about formatting their OPs and providing information as the OP of the linked Topic below, I would imagine it would cut down on the unnecessary posts, wasted time, headaches, etc. associated with supporting the userbase and fans of said devs' respective products. But then again, I'm probably giving the LooneyRats of XDA way too much credit!

P.S. Some of you might be interested in reading it more for the content than how pretty it is, hahaha! Very encouraging to hear that ICS for the SGS line is being worked on, even if it doesn't directly affect or help us much.
P.P.S. If any of you would like help or suggestions for clarifying your Topics I'd be glad to help. I'm kind of a communications nerd, so I geek out over making things as concise and informative as possible. (I'm probably a bit overbearing as a Squad Leader in BF3 as a result, TBH!)

Well said, sir! I agree, noobery/Loonery will persist, but I feel very confident that clear, concise, informative OPs/Topics will cut down the BS at least a little bit, and also help spread knowledge even among the experienced people here, developer or not. (For instance, I dabble in Java, but I am not a developer. However, I enjoy reading all the technical stuff you and the other experienced devs post, whether it's in an OP or 300 pages deep.)

We can go about this one of two ways as I see it:
Basically k0nane's politely suggested method : you supply me with all the information you can think of (such as changelogs, which I, along with k0nane and a few other people, consider very important), then I'll format it and send it to you.
I create a shell or outline, then you fill it in with the appropriate information.
The more I think about it, I think Option (2) would be best, and in fact I'll post the shell where any devs can copy/paste it, fill in what they need, cut what they don't, and tailor to their needs. However, it's late here and I tend to nit-pick my posts, which means this could easily be an hour-long-or-more project, so I'll do it some time this weekend. Fair enough?

I agree, noobery/Loonery will persist, but I feel very confident that clear, concise, informative OPs/Topics will cut down the BS at least a little bit, and also help spread knowledge even among the experienced people here, developer or not. (For instance, I dabble in Java, but I am not a developer. However, I enjoy reading all the technical stuff you and the other experienced devs post, whether it's in an OP or 300 pages deep.)
Hahaha, niiice! I remember back when we posted those, that got a laugh outta me!
We can go about this one of two ways as I see it:
Basically k0nane's politely suggested method : you supply me with all the information you can think of (such as changelogs, which I, along with k0nane and a few other people, consider very important), then I'll format it and send it to you.
I create a shell or outline, then you fill it in with the appropriate information.
The more I think about it, I think Option (2) would be best, and in fact I'll post the shell where any devs can copy/paste it, fill in what they need, cut what they don't, and tailor to their needs. However, it's late here and I tend to nit-pick my posts, which means this could easily be an hour-long-or-more project, so I'll do it some time this weekend. Fair enough?

Ok. Thanks. Option 2 sounds good.

Those who know me know I'm blunt and to the point when I need to be. It's not personal.

Fair enough, sometimes bluntness is called for! Especially around here, with some of these people it's like arguing or explaining something to a brick.

Obviously I haven't gotten to it yet, and for that I apologize. Hopefully I can knock out an outline soon.

Cut down on the screenshots lol. You have to scroll down the OP everytime to get to the links.

Damn good point! Maybe put links at the top?
I'm gonna PM the OP of the topic I linked to and see if I may shamelessly yoink his layout to create my recommended outline. Y'all cross your fingers, that will get this ball rolling.
I wish there were more screenshots of the parts that I use. All we need to see is notification bar, mms, keyboard, dialer. Everything else we normally customize the look of ourselves.

On miui, its all customizable, so that doesn't really do much.

Personally, I think its best to have what's working and not above the download, so then people can't say they didn't see it before downloading.
