what else is there to talk about? You no like, you no read!!!

Well considering Billy Mayes died of a cocaine induced heart attack a thread by him now would not only be entertaining but also a miracle.
Just what we needed another useless thread to point out other useless threads. Way to go slugger.

Obviously it's useless!!!! HAHA that's the point! And I'm ok with everyone saying that it is bad as all the others, because at least we can agree that the others are utter garbage as well. And if this thread helped you realize that, then I am satisfied! Anyways, it's been fun....now back to the real world, you know, the non-internet world where all of this sh*t is insignificant.....take care boys!

Haha, this thread is obviously just meant to poke fun, but as you can see, some people just take this so seriously sometimes...it's rather amusing
This thread will get closed, as it does in fact accomplish nothing. I just wanted, if only for a short period of time, to bring into light how much effort people put in to complaining around here. No, it is most certainly not everybody. But for crying out loud, the general section is beginning to look like an activist corner.
An outsider would come to our forum, see all those threads I posted...and probably just think of how much of an ungrateful bunch we are. I mean people have every right to their opinion, but seriously, there are enough threads to start a "hate" section.

A forum is a gathering place for opinions. A lot of people are pretty pissed at Samsung and are sharing their opinions. Just because you don't agree with them does not make them wrong.

please quote which post i said their opinions are "wrong"....in fact..if you check my last post, i said that eeveryone is entitled to their opinions
HOWEVER, its not fair to the people who are making due with what we have and having fun making it better, to have their posts absolutely buried by 12+ threads complaining about LITERALLY the same issues. Its one thing to have an opinion, but its another to jam it down everyones throat in hopes that everyone will follow you.
Does more than one person have the same opinion? of course! But organize it. consolidate it. dont drown the forum in negativity. at that point its just sloppy *****ing.

[Q] Debranding

Hi peeps. Im starting to get really ticked off by the branding string in the build properties.
What do i have to do in build.prop to stop the android market seeing my xoom as a verizon device and see it instead as a viewsonic gtab or whatever?

Why is everyone posting questions in the dev section?

Because they can't read
Sent from my Evo 4G using Tapatalk Pro

let me explain why...
its because i am a dev myself, and i have been here long enough to know that at this stage in a subforum's development no-one from the dev community ever looks in the general subsection
welcome to reality
also, you should understand this perfectly well having joined in 2009... or are you just a snob with a post count?

One might ask what he is implying you cannot read.

Nothing we say will help. Makes me sad they don't know how to follow the rules and have common sense. All you get by posting a question in a dev forum instead of general or q/a is people telling you to post in the right thread. Just do it and they will help.

Maybe you'll get a better answer if you try posting in the right section for considering yourself a dev you're good at being stupid

He had no good reason he considered himself a dev and yet doesn't have common sense to post his question in the right section

a Dev? Are you kidding? His app is still stuck on beta test stage and they couldn't make it done....

Perhaps if any of you tight-ass teenagers had read my reasons for posting in this subsection (its the third post, refer to it if you please), you would think again.
And my app is not stuck in beta, the draft is on the market and all the beta testers have already received their free rc. They are all happy with it.
If you really knew this forum, you would not be saying those silly, childish things. And if you dont know how to help, speak less lest you hinder instead.

Actually my name is Morgan Brant and I live at 2215 ontario street. Do I really need a safe place to talk... no not really... oh and a productive member of society?

Now, since we're already here and on the subject... anyone had any success with this?

Apparently being a "DEV" means you no longer have to fallow forum rules and you can pretty much do what ever you want. Sounds cool..
Also since your a developer shouldn't you already know how to change the build.prop?

You guys are no fun. Being on here for my epic increases my stress levels. With robs leaving.. I felt I had to speak out. While I'm at it, I know you forum rentacops are gonna respond to this with off topic blah blah blah. Hey check this out. its because of people like you that this place feels like going to someones house you don't really like. This is a damn community. Have you idiots never been part of any other forums?? Because I have. And I've never been part of one with so many pricks that would rather burst someones bubble than skip past a thread or contribute to it. Its a damn forum and I doubt any of you even click past page 4 everyday. Every thread you post in you can easily get to with recent posts. So why even go into a thread you would have otherwise skipped? In the end the only posters left will be the trolls and rentacops with no devs left. Because everyone hates you. When that time comes, have fun holding hands together. Douchebags.

When off topic discussions bring out people who would rather have a bit of fun than be buzz killingtons. Wouldnt you all rather be friends than bickering fools? This epic forum is dying.. if more of us came together who knows.. WE the posters and lurkers could pick up in development where they left off.

I am willing to bet that my son is older than most of the idiot wannabe mods causing issues. I was actually in a post yesterday where someone asked a question in Q&A and got slapped for not asking the question in the app/rom thread. This is starting to get very discouraging. To many people running amuck. I actually sent a email this morning suggesting that each section for the forums should have there own "off topic" then maybe some of this BS might stop. I also asked if they like the idea and implement it to move ptfmedic's thread to it and sticky it. I for one don't even go to the main page no need.

Here we have people that we have never seen on here before that are reporting things as being "off topic" or "against the rules" that have been going on for ages and it is just the regulars here sharing with each other. But because we are in a down period as we wait for Gingerbread, and these dummies have nothing else to occupy themselves with, they think it must be all this off topic stuff holding back a new rom or theme coming out. But what they are doing is driving off anyone who has actually ever contributed anything and making certain that by the time Gingerbread drops there won't be anyone left, with the knowledge to contribute something great, who's willing to put up with the shenanigans of these fools.
They are too self involved to realize that the people that make this great software and mods that we use only do it to be a part of this community, and to chat and share and learn from each other. The fact that some random person can come in and benefit from their work is a side effect, not the main intent of their hard work!

I think you may be wrong. If XDA was purely a developer forum, we'd have no reason for separate 'Development' and 'General' areas.
Like it or not, the mallcop wannabes lurking about can't pray to their personal unicorns and wish away the fact that XDA has grown into an ENTHUSIAST community, and general, unorganized discussion is a healthy way to foster friendly, casual relationships between regular visitors.

There is a development section of the Epic forums. Maybe your time would be best spent there and not in the general section.

I completely understand that this is a development forum and we come here to read about android development. At the same time, the people that are contributing to the development section so far have been the people everyone's pissing off and booting/influencing to leave.
If a marine came back from IRAQ and ended up on CNN and said he's just glad to be back because he has a kid with AIDS at home and really needs to take care of him and would like to give everyone a site to check out childwithAIDSawareness. How surprised would you be if the news caster turned and say "whoa, let me stop you right there, these people tuned in to hear about the war, not your sick kid."

That example is a terrible fit for this situation. People posting about things not related to the epic aren't doing anything special for anyone. They are wasting XDA bandwidth and burying actual useful threads.
The best comparison would be if Casey Anthony went on the news to tell her side of the story and spent the entire time trying to advertise her book/movie/insert self indulging greed.

All I'm saying is at least the guy contributed something other than *****ing about other people. We have a bunch of these threads burying perfectly great "on topic" threads that are just as against the rules as his... And here they sit.

Why are general topic threads being closed?

I for one like the idea of a general topic thread, but I don't understand why someone that trolls is not banned or their comments removed instead of closing the thread.

I agree completely. I'm not trolling with that statement either.
Honestly, now that we have 2 mods another thread COULD be opened. The probability of conflict due to misunderstandings, differences of opinion and, perhaps for some, dislike of a fellow member or members is still pretty high.
XDA stands for something special. It's a community of people trying to advance its knowledge through helping and sharing. Sometimes egos, not excluding mine, get inflated and the perceived need to stand up for what one feels is right becomes too much to let lie.
Sometimes people just throw out bait to see who bites. These instigators are known as "trolls."
The latter is frowned upon, but not necessarily wrong, as long as things aren't pushed too far. The former, well, good luck with that one. Remember that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Doing something wrong just to do it is not ok. Doing something wrong because you feel you are fighting for something important is another story. There is the letter of the law, and the spirit in which the law is written.
Again, I'm honestly NOT trolling.

The few should not be allowed to ruin it for the many.
It would be a great day for our XDA community if our senior moderators would embrace this philosophy and push for this change.

I, for one am guilty of standing up for myself on here. Take it or leave it. I don't let stuff ride. I'm not here to get respect or gain popularity. I do all that I do for fun and to give back. I'm known as a cocky s.o.b but I'm also known to help a fellow member out as much as my knowledge allows. I've spent numerous hours on talk, pm's and email helping people out that just quite can't get it. The thing that just makes me mad is when you see plain stupidity in your face. For example, I've seen at least a dozen people ask "Where is the low mic fix?" when if the person would search or read back 5 pages you'd find the answer. Back when this Glacier thread started you wouldn't even think of asking a question in the dev section without searching at least 10 times and if you asked such a dumb question you would get reprimanded and issued a infraction and your comment deleted. If I would get on someone now, they'd call me names and blah, blah, blah and the poop tossing would begin. The other day I was speaking out against what I thought was unfair in the general section and I don't take back any of it but to have me censored while idiots actually crowd the dev section with questions really made me mad. I have a change of heart now because the moderators are now getting back to the days of old and doing something about the useless posts. +1 to them. Since we had lack of moderating for 6 or so months, the "noobs" that are now senior members think its ok to do what they do and that's when I'm on your ****.

I completely agree with you, I think part of it is people want the cool new stuff without actually reading and learning a thing or two; while it's understandable that you may not have time to look things up, we say these things for the benefit of users themselves. Trust me, the benefits of looking up things on your own and asking after you feel you've searched your ass off are far more greater than just being told everything. Going from releasing a port, to building from source, to being asked by awesome to join team inferno and learning some github all within my first few months of developing on my first and only android phone; I'd say I'm pretty good proof of how effective doing a bit of research is (seeing as I had no prior knowledge on how to do ANYTHING but flash a rom). It's not like you're being asked to read a 700 page documentation on the android system... and although better moderation required us to lose our BS thread and possibly some infractions to some long-time users, it's good that we're starting to get that old sense of moderation back...
tldr; XDA isn't here to hold your hand (so don't assume it is), but if you put some time into reading and learning the benefits are basically limitless.

i agree. the stupidity around here is just amazing. take the most recent one i've seen for example. i'm not going to name any names, but you know who you are.
this guy comes around and posts a question in the General Section. that's already a mistake. who doesn't know that Questions go in the Q & A Section? and then, since he didn't get any answers, he ventures on over to the Development Section, literally picks a random thread, and posts his question there. his question has NOTHING to do with what the topic is about. completely unacceptable. and then, when another forum member tells him that he shouldn't do that, what does he do? he goes on calling names. hey man, it's not our fault you have no respect for others. all this person could've done was just SEARCH. Google it, Bing it, Yahoo it, i don't care, you could've at least SEARCHED before you asked. yeah okay, maybe if you had only a few post counts, then i would forgive you, but no, this is a Senior Member, with over 200 posts! things like this shouldn't even happen from such an "experienced xda user". and i'm seeing things like this more and more everyday, not just in in Glacier forums, but pretty much everywhere else. noobs come along with only a few posts, and they see that they need 10+ posts to post in the Development Sections. so what do they do? they spam all the other sections and threads until they get more than 10 posts, then they begin spamming the Development Sections with their stupid questions that could've been answered by a search. and that's not all. since they can't spam the Development Sections with under 10 posts, they spam the DEVELOPER'S PMS. i have over 1000 PMs in my inbox, i'd say over 3/4 of them are useless garbage asked by idiots who are too lazy to search.
now about the off topic threads:
i really like the idea, it's a great way for forum members to hang out and have friendly chats for one another, but one thing i had noticed going on in the old BS Thread was that noobs with less than 10 posts would come here and post until they get 10 posts. i actually even read some other posts that encouraged this action. so while the off topic threads are great, they also have downsides to them as well.
IMO, we should just make it that you can only post in the Q & A Section until you have a certain amount of posts, cause honestly, most of the first few posts are just plain stupid questions that can be answered, by a simple search.

Your first thread got closed because it had no point; you were simply ranting about how you disliked your Nexus 4. XDA is a dev community (hence the name), not a chat room.

They get closed because they are in no way productive to development or the betterment of development, and turn into a troll fest, as this one has already started to
