According to official sources, the long awaited HTC Hero update 2.1 will be released to European markets on Friday 30th April,
Please Note Official Source = xda developers forum
Apologies if I upset you, just find it hilarious all these folks are going crazy over 2.1
Again Apologies
so you are quoting THIS forum on THIS FORUM, to let us (=the users of THIS FORUM) know something that you learned on THIS FORUM, and don't even provide a link?
if you feel the need to apologize twice or more in a single post think about it once more, might make you look stupid if you decide to post it...

so ppl are annoyed about all the posts, and you think it is funny to create one more?
in this case i have to change my mind: if you feel the need to annoy people by doing something that is already annoying think about it once more, might make you look stupid if you decide to post it...
oh yeah, and it is just not funny... not even (or especially) when you have to say that it is meant as a joke...
not funny ...
its not funny at all. some one please remove this thread before other get into reading

Or is that too much?
Just wodering is there going to be a full android flash for htc hd2 so i dont have to run it off the sd card?
You should really read through the forums a little better. Before asking such a question. Don't u think that everyone running android would want that. Its called nand boot and its been in the works for awhile now.
Hrm, now this is is either a very unimaginative piece of trolling, or you've not even bothered to scan through the forums before posting.
I'd try doing a little research before yelling for help. And in the development forum too.... tsk, tsk. There's a Q&A section for a reason, you know.
Yes, its coming out in 2 hours, hold on to your hat...its coming, its called nandanoobaphobia......lol
Wow ppl stop being aggressive he seems to be noob on XDA ( it's not an insult to be a noob...everyone was a noob ! ).
To answer your question, developpers working hard on it but we don't know when they're going to release the nand flash !
You can follow the last news about this project on this thread :

I agree...There are countless posts in plain sight on the general forums to read about this topic.
he signed up in august, and this is his first post. i say troll... a bad one at that.
fail you lose one million internetz
You do know that many people sign up just to get a download? Having a three month old account doesn't disqualify someone from being a noob. It's possible, perhaps even likely, they signed up to download a simple patch or app 3 months ago, and have only now started reading the forums or using custom ROMs and Android.
I know these posts get annoying, but I don't think laying into first time posters is the answer. I see as much or more nonsense being posted by "senior" members with 100s or 1000s of posts.

Obviously not!
So I tried to post in a ROM thread and get a message saying I'm not aloud cause I'm under 10 post and no expert but yet I was able to post there the other day twice which was no repost or a noob question. So now I can't post a question that still has not been posted by anyone else or has been posted anywhere. So guess I need to just make random post bout 7 more time so that can make me a expert at knowing what's going on just to post in certain threads ... Cool
What did you want to post? They had an announcement a few days ago about why new members (under ten posts) would no longer be able to post in the development section. Nothing to get upset over.

Maybe this will shed some light on it.
Well like I said I was able to post twice just yesterday them now I can't and I brought it up to a buddy and he explained to me bout the new rule but kinda sux fir people like me I just sit back and wait cause most the time someone else always ends up asking questions that I have I mean I'm no expert but at the same time I know what I'm doing just by reading most of what's going on. But the question I had was I'd anyone knew of anything bout CM putting in more themes in the rom itself or there gonna be a new thread where we can dl them from? Also what if I had a problem to report bout a rom but couldn't post in the right thread am I to make a new one or sit back and wait to see if anyone ever post the same problem? Thanx for the help/advice

Generally the themes are in the "Themes and Apps" section. I think they figure that if you've gone through the process of rooting your phone, learning to use adb and flashing ROMs and kernels you've probably exceeded ten posts. They just want to keep the development sections clean so the developers stick around. I happen to think that's a great idea.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
All you have to do is post ten times before you can post there, and if you are here enough contributing that shouldn't be so hard...?
It's a great idea. If you are going to root your phone and flash ROMs, hopefully you've taken the time to know everything involved in doing so.
Too many root their phones and have no idea what they are doing. It's not that hard to read and watch video to learn how things work.

Unfortunately, 90% of the posts by new users are in the wrong thread when they post to the development section. If you are in the 10% that do know what that section is for, then great, make your 10 posts and unlock the door. And thank you for contributing! Once you have been for awhile, you'll start to see for yourself why they made that change.
If it was a question then.. it shouldn't been in development
There's your problem from the start
Imo I think they should make the post count higher to post in development or even better they should hafta get a mod to approve if your allowed to

I'm down for a higher post count, 10 can be too simple, and people can just post a bunch of stupid ish in random forums to get to it. If you have a specific question about a rom, chances are you haven't read through the 30+ pages of that thread. So instead of posting about it again, search JUST the rom thread, not the android dev. forum, with 1-2 keywords of your problem, more likely than not, you will find a fix for your problem, or see that it is still unresolved.

I've been coming to XDA for about 6 months now, but I haven't been posting on the threads because I'm able to solve issues myself. It sucks that they just added this when there are plenty of people who are mature enough to search and solve their problems without complaining about not being able to find a fix. It seems like, once again, the ignorance of few have ruined it. I guess I'll just have to answer some questions until I get up to 10 posts so I can actually give input on bugs and other ROMs I test.

XDA answered your questions and provided ROMs to flash for your enjoyment for 6 months... I think 7 more informative/helpful posts is the least you can do to give back.
I'm also working my way up to 10 so that I can join in the CM7 discussion on this forum.
That is a ridiculous rule. It only does one thing it keeps some spamer or troll from sighing up and do his dirty deeds quick. Nothing else.
I have over hundred post and a title like "senior member", like that's supposed to be anything. I can tell you right now I don’t no my head from my ass. ~ & worse; I think I'm funny.
Vibrant Axura 2.2 Voodoo 5 JL5 via the XDA app
It has nothing whatsoever to do with spamming and trolling. If it was to control spam and trolls, don't you think they would have applied some kind of rule to ALL forums and not just the developer forums?
It's blatantly obvious that it's to keep people who don't know any better from posting off-topic non-development questions in the development forums. By the time somebody makes 10 posts, they've hopefully figured out where to post things.
I honestly can't believe this is even an issue... its 10 freaking posts. Get over it.

[15 FEB][CWM][★★★★★]HyperDroidGBXv5[AOSP-2.3.2][a2sd+][KER:RAF1.7][SMOOTHEST,OPENSRC]
You can find it on the first page. This rom doesnt require a lot of knoledge of hacking. Everything you need is included. Also, the developer responds very fast.
Only thing I dont like is resolution of the screen. The rom is customised and the author likes smaller density of the screen. Everything is very small but there is an instruction how to change it.
You say dont feed the animals, but your the f**king animals.
Dont like a thread? Dont respond. If its going to get removed, a moderator will remove it. If you have an answer, then give it.
Dont sit there and massflame, nufags.
I suggest MDJ's CM7 2.3 release. Its quick, and as far as Ive seen, troublefree.

haha fagbag...i like that! whats worse that a fag.....a bag of fags. haha. hey you bag of fags!!!! haha that might be the only useful part of this whole thread. yall are right flaming doesnt help, but neither does answering the question in the wrong section. its not that ppl would rather flame than help, i think everyone on this site is here to get help or help others. i do both. I have also doine my fair share of posts in the wrong place and been flamed for it. heres the catch though, xda mods and staff have put a lot of effort into making this site as efficient and helpful as possible. When ppl just randomly post stuff because they didnt bother to search or try things themselves then you end up with random stuff posted all over the place. and the site would be a huge mess....trust me i have seen it. just go into some of the other forums and see how they look.....a mess. No its not nice to flame ppl but............in that thread there are 14+ posts and 1200+ views in less than 24 hrs. so had the question been answered nicely and no one flamed him before it got moved then all those ppl that post the exact same type question in the Q&A will see instead of waiting for an answer in there they can just mnake a post in here and it will get answered by someone as yourself. INSTEAD he got gently flamed and maybe he and the 1000 newbs that saw it learned not to post here. DONT TAKE IT PERSONALLY.
p.s. the 2 that started the name calling...fagbag,****,and dumfag. yall are the ones that really started the flaming. READ the rules before posting. yall have broken the rules as far as what can and cant be said in a post. As a gay american i am deeply hurt by your remarks and i hope you will be repremanded for it.

EXACTLY!!
You see! He tried recommending you the best and most stable 3 roms of all from his opinion, yet you liked NONE of them. Your "preferences" are different from everyone else's. He likes sense, you don't. He didn't have crashes on tytung's ics, you did. He thinks Sense is fancy and wonderful, you think it's slow and buggy.
It was your fault for making this thread in the first place. That's why the "best rom", "most stable", "fastest rom" ... etc threads are despised and hated.
I suggest you read Kameirus's post and you will understand what I mean. (if you haven't already).

OH WAIT, YOU CAN'T ANSWER BECAUSE IT'S AN OPINION BASED QUESTION!
Seriously, I'm getting really tired of these best ROM threads. There is no correct answer, and yet you people still create them. All that happens is that they're closed by a mod or they turn into 10 post spam threads where new users open old threads to post questions in the dev forums. If you just wanted the ROM most people use then why not look at the thread view count and post count?
To quote PG101 (I think) 'coming to XDA and asking for the best ROM is like going into a bar full of drunks and asking what's the best drink'.
I wouldn't have posted this if you had admitted in post #6 that you're wrong through Marvlesz and Kameirus's pure logic, but you've somehow tried to justify posting an idiotic question which is quite annoying.

Isnt this an Android Q&A forum. Why is everyone so neurotic about these "best rom" threads? There is a avalanche of information on xda...This i agree...however its very easy to get completely blindsighted by the sheer volume of threads and the "best rom, most stable" etc, are usually shot down very soon after the question is asked.
If one cant offer any guidence or if one gets frustrated by these threads then why click on the thread and why take time to respond negitively instead of just skimming past and ignoring the thread?
I get that it becomes tiresome for seasoned members here to see these threads but please can we not just assume that the posters are just being "Lazy". Its also worth note that is increasingly difficult for new users to post here for fear of upsetting others with their (mostly well intentioned) ill thought out questions..
XDA is such a great source of knowledge and resource and i agree one needs to take the time to read, read and read some more sometimes though we can get lost and sometime are just asking to be pointed in a direction that has benefited others. Ie' a rom thread where the reading will begin b4 flashing
Flashing for the 1st time can be tricky as their is a lot to take in and one can be nervous of the procedure, and if too many of us take it apon ouselves to be the forum police then the the prospect becomes slightly less appealing.
Sorry i dont mean to offend anyone by sounding off but i too am new to much of the flashing roms, and also am guilty of comming to these threads in the hope of finding a majority of agreement on a particular rom. I do understand that it is subjective and one does not fit all. However it can give confidence to new flashees if experienced users can offer recomendations which have been offered here above, which i personally an very greatfull for.
Sometimes we are but sheep and will follow where led.

I do get it. But it doesnt mean it doesnt frustrate me to see the responses in these threads just as it frustrates those who are rattled by the thread even existing who feel the need to jump on and respond.
If it bugs you... you can leave it alone and move on OR you can let the OP know your frustration by refusing to answer the question and telling them to get off XDA. But surely its easier to ignore it?
It honest feels that the forum has become quite arrogant at times especially where "newbs" are concerned. And it can feel at times slightly Elitist (those that Can vs those who need help) with a disregard to anyone who doesnt know where to begin.
One post i read earlier told a FM to "get off the android forum and dont come back" for asking a similar question... How is this helping and how is it got to the point where there are many 'thanks' thumbsup to this sort of response.
I doubt that OP would be back in a hurry but i guess if it stops them asking 'stupid' questions....Theres a pattern forming where some members here who have flashed successfully a few times then become part of this club that pretends to be irritated by 'best rom' threads and i assume it makes them feel superior by responding with negative feedback to ones who genuine are looking for just a point in the right direction. Why not just 'Not Respond' at all??
Its like pack mentality sometimes and thankfully it is a minority of members who are rattled and on the whole XDA is immensely helpful to newcomers who will learn the hard way to never ask "that" question :banghead:

We are members of this community, thus we have to do our best to make it better. We do this by telling people who post such threads about how wrong it is and the correct way of finding "the" rom. But it got out of hand, you can check that for yourself. Every other week, there is a thread asking the exact same thing, i.e "best rom, fastest, stable". Whereas it should be common sense that there is no best in subjective things as Nigel summed it.
Now the problem is that many people think xda is a support site. Here is a quote from a senior member that I couldn't agree more with:

While it is true that you can find help on xda, that doesn't mean it is given on a silver platter. If you can't bother to help yourself, we can't bother to help you. Furthermore, finding a question that a 2-click search could've provided a more-than-satisfactory answer or finding a post that is almost the same as a two-rows-below post is rather very irritating.

That's impossible, if you're asking "what's the best rom", there is no way you're looking for a point in the right direction. Because basically there is no right direction. Some people even try to justify their stupid posts with even more stupid posts.
The HD2 has been out for about 4 years now. NO matter what your problem is, it has a 99% probability it has been asked AND answered before MULTIPLE times. Now if people can't bother to follow the very first rule of the forum rules, they don't deserve to be helped.
When they first registered on xda, they agreed to abide by the terms, rules and conditions. Now if you agree to abide by something and then break that thing, you take full responsibility and deserve everything you get for that breaking.

A common misconception, this is a development forum (hence XDA developers ). Other than this I don't really have anything to add to Marvlesz's post tbh. You have to understand that when I posted that there had been literally three similar threads in a row. When you're posting a thread search results for the same or similar title even come up, so there wasn't any excuse for this thread to have been created. There's a subtle line between not knowing and not trying, and this is the latter.
It's problem to me too... I have 1.5 gb roms on my SD and no one fully work for me =(
Ok so i am aware that my earlier post was ott on my part and can only apologize. Must have been posting through some red mist I admit i jumped in without thinking and was unduely judgemental. Sorry bout that Everyone here esp devs are doing such amazing work for our gadgets to perform at their peaks and i am immensely appreciative of that. I agree with the above that this is first a "Development" forum and can be misconceived by some (myself included ) as somewhere where the answers are uniform and one in the same. However i see this is not the case and opinions to questions such as "whats the best, fastest most stable" etc, are so diverse and if everyone were to give an opinion then i guess these threads would also just get messy and lengthy with NO satifactory conclusion.
Sorry Guys...Really Didnt mean to offend. However i can see how my wording may have done so :banghead:
My tail is well and truly behind my legs as i type this
