Will there ever be an appless rom available

I just wonder...
Isn't the whole OS supposed to be absolutely customizable??
I understand apps like phone and contacts must still exist.
The impression I have is that people want the ability to have a completely clean app tray... I know I'd like one that is specifically seperate from Phone, Contacts, SMS, and Voice Mail.
I also wish I had a clean slate for widgets.. I wish all my ring tones were gone.. I wish all the wall Papers were gone. I wish the boot animations were gone..
I don't even want the "market" app visible.. I want the option to go into the market by hitting them menu button while in my apps tray and I not only want market to perform the function of searching for apps but I want it to be have a searchable directory for apps, widgets,ringtones, wall papers, boot animations.. etc.
It would also be extremely awesome if the essential codes for the essential programs were coded into the main code instead of these apps.. so that even the native essential apps I listed could be swapped out.
I think it should be done.. And I think a new repository should be made for a new market place where the XDA elite could build the programs and leave these other guys who are doing nothing for the OS as a whole but flooding the market place... they can take a f'ing hike..
You guys should leave them on the back burner and then give me .1 cent ( cause I am freaking poor) of all your sales while we head a internet market campaign aimed at recruiting all android users over to the faster more customizable base model with an XDA market place.
Seriously.. you guys could charge access to the market place and get the service going like one of those other services that bill your cell bill..
Screw those other developers... you guys making the roms are the bread and butter of what will make android what it is...
And any developer who wants to publish programs on your better version of code.. you should charge them a fee....
and then you should lock up the code for your customized version of the OS and take a decade to release it.
I seriously want a 10th of a cent on every dollar for my thought.. its a billion dollar market... you guys could take it imo.
And as you do you could hire more people to work to get it functioning on every smart phone that hits the market.
You guys should do it.. I need a cool million and you guys need a cool billion... cut them out of the picture and make apple struggle.. i heard they are going to emulate the android OS or something on the iphone so users can switch between OS...
F it... rename the whole OS "Jack dRoid"

Nevermind...decided I didn't want to get into this discussion after all. Please ignore.

omfg, that makes 2 of us...

Why??
What is customizable by a regular user??
Wall papers and widget placement????????
I despise the flooded market place that struggles to accustom a bunch of different versions of one OS.
I also despise the fact that the people doing the real developing work, are probably having their work stolen all the while others are just flooding the market place with junk trying to profit... not to mention the people here are the best customer service you can get.
It personally pisses me off.
If you guys think the pieces of the pie are in the right hands then either A. You are stealing others work and you work for someone getting a big piece of the pie or B. You are making contributions and getting nothing for it and need to check your self value.
Nobody is bringing me apps2SD,tethering, themes, roms, 2.1 but the people here...
The rest are just beating around the bush providing crappy customer service while refusing to even provide me with the option to change the way my dialer looks,. all the while providing ridiculous salaries to a bunch of slackers.
If I'm not correct just say it instead of trying to troll the thread as if its ridiculous to think or even partake in the discussion.

Your initial post shows a lack of understanding, lack of good humor, was not particularly constructive and you are a horrible salesman. How would you like us to respond?

I see no point in 'confronting what you said, directly' since it's obvious you're quite..um...passionate about your view point. There can be no honest discussion in that event since the standard rebuttal is always 'Well you're an idiot, and you're wrong' to anything that's said against the original post. As I said, I choose not to get involved in a discussion of that sort.

Then have what you expect... because "you're an idiot, and you're wrong"
I'd still like your honest opinion about any of the ideas regardless.

Samsung has just told their 1888 number to let the orginal poster send in the phone that didnt have proof of purchase (receipt) from Bell to be sent in. So for all who are wanting some sort of help or guidance. PLEASE reply back to that wall post. Make your voice heard.
edit** never mind, samsung is just talking bs.

maybe the gps doesn't work on some....
Samsung hoping that those owners won't be able to find them.
Ooops, sorry for being off topic.

It would be great to see this in Europe and force Samsung to enable the 3 button key, but I doubt it. Over here people are citizens only in name, and thus the EU knows better, and Samsung EU (Netherlands) say that it was disabled for the good of the user.

Samsung said;
"Our share in the Canadian market aint that overwhelming, we're planning to stop distributing on all Samsung products there."
hehe kidding, but it would be something to laugh about...

i haven't heard any

This will not fly...... most people have working phones its just a few that have issues and end up complaining.. and they end up here looking to solve the issue.. where as most the public will not even log on to the xda forums..
Also I have a buddy that works at the Bell store and sure they have had a few returned but most people that have the Samsung S love it... I for one do not have any issues and I know 2 other people with the phone that don't have issues and the GPS works great.

HASHTAG FOR TWITTER: #NeverAgain * Update: Froyo OTA 1/21 - Source within 60 days *

EDIT: Well, some will say this effort had no impact, others will not be so naive and realize the voices of MANY of you were heard. Really applaud everyone... regardless if it helped or not, Samsung has stated that they have heard us AND that it's something they are not used to, but will make an effort... I feel like this is success.
OTA should start tomorrow. Source should be released very shortly after that:
http://opensource.samsung.com/
THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING!!!
For those not certain why this thread was created: PLEASE READ
--------------------------------INITIAL POST BELOW------------------------
I generally remain calm and try and remain upbeat and defend... but the news (rumor/leak) about Samsung holding off the froyo release to sell more phones set me over the edge.
While nothing is confirmed, I still believe Samsung needs to be aware of just how pissed they are making our community. I'm not talking stupid class action, blah blah... I simply want our voice heard, and for a Froyo release to happen ASAP... but beyond that, I want them to adhere to the Open Handset Alliance and release their source for our developers.
http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/
I believe we all now who is going to put out a better product, and right now they (our developers) are handicapped because they do not have everything they need.
That said, we need to be organized!
We need twitter to trend AND we need to spread it all over Facebook! I am ignorant and have no interest in learning Facebook. I know the majority of you use it daily so I am going to rely on you guys for that!
To do this on twitter, we all need to use the same #hashtag. We also need to threaten something that means something to them... the whole problem is they are not updating to help with their sales (allegedly). Well, we need to threaten to never buy Samsung again.
Please use this #Hashtag:
#NeverAgain
would work.... it is easy to use, short and to the point.
An example: (just copy/paste this if you like)
[email protected] & @Samsungtweets I will never buy a Samsung product after the way you've treated your customers. #NeverAgain

Sent from the helm of Vibrant Territory!

Awesome, please do what you can people... the whole point is to be organized, make it trend on twitter and Samsung will be forced to respond. Maybe that is why I am so upset, they have not made any effort to debunk these rumors.
I personally am tired of defending them...

Do u suggest I keep saying it or just like once a day?

to be most effective, I think you should post this is all US galaxy s variant forums. Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, and the other one or two. Get all US Galaxy S users to do this too!
btw, i dont have a twitter account or have ever used it. any suggestions on how to post your message once i create a twitter account?
EDIT: i just set up a twitter account, how do i post that hashtag to samsung?

Creating an account is super easy (and the best way to keep up with our developers). Once you have the account created, just PM me if you need help.... you could just copy/paste what I have in the OP if you like.

#NeverAgain... waiting for a dual core HTC on TMO then dumping the vibrant...

I would never ever imagine this coming from you but you actually did a pretty good thread. I don't think it would make diffrence, people aren't going to follow up, XDA is a small portion of all samsung phones.
Like someone said samsung is known for their eletronics that are release as is, no follow up update. As big as they are they become greedy. Its a company out out for money, "making a new phone with new software" will get the most sales.
If they give us froyo now it will drop their new phone sales dramactecly (spelling). Because an old phone will be cheaper then a new phone The vibrant 4G isnt really a big update besides the FFC and HSPA+. Thereby the orignal vibrant.will get.bought.
Another thing to think about is when the vibrant 4G/plus gets out we will not get froyo right away, maybe a month after.

Supercurio Closed Galaxy Note Colour Rendering Issue Thread

Guys we can kiss the Black render app for the Galaxy Note goodbye.. i was really looking forward to it nevermind... The good news is the official Samsung forums have taken note of the issues and they have passed on to HQ So hopefully there should be a fix coming soon

bummer, glad I returned my gnote. highly doubt Samsung will do anything about it either.

Best to keep on returning them till you get a good one, I was second time lucky, I love my Note

This is what happens when people complain and whine because they feel entitled to get everything from the devs. As nice as it would've been to have a fix from SuperC, you have to realize that he's releasing apps for soooooo many devices, he really is a truly awesome developer but he's still human and doesn't owe anyone a damn thing. If people want fixes for stuff then start reading and code you're own damn device or shut the hell up.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

The thing is people didn't ask for the fix right now or even later, it was not a ETA question, but more like: was he still working on it or not, so people could move on and stop waiting for a fix that would never come.
That got him mad. I can understand that. Maybe he was in a bad mood or something.
It's true a couple of dumbass talked about spamming him to get him to move, and that was just so stupid I can't believe it happened.
Now everyone that was just genuinely hoping that the dream of a perfect screen would come true one day can just say goodbye to that.

The fact is, that he has every right to do as he pleases.
A fact is also that many good programmers are very bad in communication.

Maybe we should get a collection together or bounty for a dev to make an app for us, then if the app does not turn up, or does not work correctly working, no money.
Just a list of members names, everybody pays 10$ on completion of the app via paypal start a new thread just for this.
My Note works great, and i don't want to root it, so i don't really need the app myself it was just a thought.

So very true, but one in modern world will face repercussions for that.
SC can not be surprised for community backslash. He manifested such surprise.

Thats what happens when people put a slur a dev's character in a thread - I don't blame the bloke for closing it and wiping his hands with the Note Community, some of the posts were downright personal.

Come on People. Note doesn't ends here. Someone will step-in the shoe (one fine day). Besides there are other worlds to sing in.

nobody talked about spamming SuperC,what was suggested was to send him a PM so that people with this problem will show him that he should kindly assist and update the status of the project.it was made clear that nobody is spamming him and the Gnote owners are just desperatethis got him angry but yet an apology was rendered

Like anyone who says stuff on the internet, it has to be taken with a handful of salt but saying something as clear as that from a recognized dev DOES inspire hope in a fix.
Quit defending him. He's old enough to defend himself if he indeed feels he's being attacked, and by my standards he should've expected at least some reaction. Bait and switch will piss people off; according to the closed thread he was holding off for public ICS release because it was required for the app to work.
Personally, now that I have an S3, I can return the note under warranty for a fix.

Thank you for understanding what is happening i guess when someone offended you and latter genuinely apologies you shouldn't hold grudges

I don't think he did anything wrong by closing the thread.
Some trolls wanted to 'seek attention' and started spamming the thread.
If there was NO solution, he would have closed it long ago.

Nono, it doesn't work like that. You just can't open a thread and say you will save the world, and then let it dye not answering doubts and questions from other users. Next time, FIND a solution first and THEN tell the world. OR accept people *****ing.

I can already see this thread will die an early death, how about people just stop *****ing and we are all friends again

Is this the new Galaxy Note 8.0 ?

Am I the only one that's hacked off that this forum has a picture of a Galaxy Note GT-N7000 phone on the forum header and not a Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet?
Despite complaining directly to all the moderators on this forum and the webmaster, and getting no reply whatsoever after a couple of weeks, the image still remains.
XDA Developer forums set their standards high and draw people in to how professional and accurate it's pages are. Yet here we have a pretty bad example of sloppy web page construction.
If anyone influential is reading this please can they let the right people know and get it fixed. It's embarrassing!

Yeah I think you are the only one that has nothing better to do with their time than complain about trivial stuff

No This is Samsung Galaxy Note N7000

Would you guys be as blasé about it if it were a picture of an iPad mini?

I don't think I would care to be honest. It's a picture. It has nothing to do with the content of the forums. Hell, they could put a picture of a Timex Sinclair 1000 and I wouldn't care.

Actually I think you would care.. And it does have everything to do with the content of the forum.
I don't think it's trivial, else why is there a picture (and device specifications) on the header in the first place if someone didn't think it would be useful?
Developers spend a long time getting the 'little things' just right and paying attention to detail so the 'little things' that annoy people can be corrected. So sometimes 'sweating the small stuff' is what makes something perfect.
Call me pedantic but I don't think it sits well with what is normally a well organised website.

Well I find it strange , a wrong picture. I will try to get it corrected , will ask mod, maybe I'm more succesfull.
It is Holiday time so maybe they all are partying.
EDIT:
I contacted mod, so now it is up to them.
Maybe they can use this picture:

It's sloppy and unprofessional. Over on the Android Central forums the Note 8 sub-forum is under Samsung phones instead of tablets.

Okay, let me rephrase it. I KNOW I wouldn't care. As for the "why," the picture idea has been around a LONG time...back when there were far fewer devices. I'm sure managing this site is not an easy task and updating pictures is about as low as possible on the priority list.
Here is an idea. For all those hung up on this stupid topic, go start you're own forum and set it up like you want it with the pictures, topics, and whatever else you want. Fund it yourselves and spend your free time managing it. Otherwise STFU and realize this is NOT your site, you do not pay for it, and you have no right to complain about it as if you're "entitled" to anything provided to you on here...for free. Oh, and no, freedom of speech does NOT apply here. You're a guest on XDA's property. You can politely ask for them to do something, but demanding it, insulting them about it (e.g. calling them unprofessional, etc) is way fvcking out of line. Now grow up and move on.

Seriously, I put a request in to site admin.

Knock it Off Please
On a more serious note, I see a lot of "trolling: going on in this thread.
As some of you may already know, and for those of you that "don't know", there is only ONE Troll,, in these forums, and that's ME.
(ahem... there is NO freedom of speech here,,,remember this, we have rules)
Oh, to continue.... I am the Troll King.
Remember it.
Live with it.
I'll help you out when needed, and I'm pretty fair with things.
But remember, I am the TROLL KING, and lesser trolls are my minions.
You all keep it on topic please, and don't give me a reason to clean the thread. You all know the rules.....
Carry on,
Cheers!

Whoa! That's one totally rude reply.
I never demanded anything. I did politely contact the right people, I am a polite person (unlike you). I did not say they were unprofessional, I said it was not in keeping with the USUAL professional standards, thereby indicating that XDA Developers IS very professional. I certainly do not resort to the level of insult and disrespect you are showing. I have been a guest here since 2005. You are also a guest and have no right to tell me to shut up or decide what I topic I can post.
I simply started this topic to ask if it could be changed. I did not expect it to become a place to abuse. May I suggest this topic is now closed, now that someone sensible here has helped out in trying to get the header changed.
