embarrassed to be a hd2 owner!

I am so embarrassed to be a HD2 owner nowadays, all i see on this site and other site's is people invading threads asking how to "flash" this on there HD2 and when will this be available for there HD2's.
Why cant everyone read all the information available and if they cant understand what to do, read it again as every question that somebody could think of in reguards to there HD2 and ANDROID has been asked and answered many many times and when i see how stupid and lazy loads of yous are i feel shamed like ive never felt before!
to top it off ive just seen a thread about a guy who has named therefore blamed a chef for what he believed bricked his phone yet it states everywhere do not try as its for DEVELOPERS ONLY!
please please you silly people get a grip and read the infomation given and watch the youtube videos and if thats not enough use the HD2 Linux/Android Q&A Thread - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!! thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737397

What can you say? It is a nice phone...lol...

So can you tell me how to install android on my hd2?

Hold Alt and Press F4. It will pop up a special box with step by step instruction. It will even have photos and short videos.

Omg ... Lol
Maybe we all should add in our signature the link... It is so well hidden in the stickies.

I believe that if u have Radio 2.12 and press Alt + F4 while running WMC it should automatically sync and install Android instanyly...but please dont do this unless you are a developer. I will take no responsibility if this screen exits upon pressing it.

F***..nm, i pressed Alt + F4 now my shi... bricked...damn u

If you care so much about useless posts, then why make one yourself? All you can do to combat useless/redundant/rude posts is to hit the little report button and wait for mods. Your little rant isn't going to do anything to stop this. It doesn't just happen with HD2 users, it is human nature to be lazy and look for the easiest solution.
I completely understand your sentiment but honestly who is going to listen to you?

true dat!!!!!!

Cool Story bro.

Welcome to internet forums.
Any forum I'm a member of has lazy people who post some simpleton question when their answer is either in a sticky or in another post on the same exact page.

stupidity and laziness is a disease! Its mother natures way of fighting back. I guess she figures we will kill ourselves off.
Kinda like the lady who got hit by a car for following gps directions.
As quoted from c-net "Why trust the machines when you can trust your own eyes, your own brain, your own basic sense of survival"?
Most people seem to lack common sense. Even my own brother lacks common sense.
I laid out the tutorial i found on youtube to do a cogswap on his ps2.
It had everything he could possibly need. I even watched the video 2 or 3 times.
His first question? Where do i get the files he says!
I started to wonder if we are related !!!!!!!!!
Overall Ive learned that you cant let this stuff you down. 99% of any questions I have go un noticed. I do my research ahead of time so that I can provide the proper info. Ive learned that if its out there you can find it even if you have to chop and screw your search results to get to it.

Joseph, this happened because- while pressing the command, you must be facing north west while holding your hd2 above your head. Also, be sure to shake the device intensely. It will help to chant mekaleckahilecahinyho while following this procedure because it will unlock the ever so elusive feature of tv out on the hd2.
Hope this helps!

Hehe. Thanks. Long time lurker, first time poster. This place is amazing.

Hey OP, it looks like your 60 posts have not taught you anything. This is a community. Do you know the role of a "community"? Use Google and get the definition. We are ALL here to help, regardless of how fed up you are with the same posts by new people. and just to let you know, I also get mad when I see those kind of posts. However, my 100+ posts (which are not much) and my small contributions have taught me that I have to be tolerant way over my limits. Stop whinin' and start contributing.
This thread makes you as stupid as you would consider any of the other topics/users. Stop wasting the space because now, we will have to go over one more post on the list in order to find the one we were looking for.
btw, use your words wisely.

Sorry to hear that. The HD2 section is probably the most chaotic area on XDA. It saddens me that so many accusations arise for a free project you guys are doing. Anyways, I just want to thank you for what you are doing.

I second that!! Really looking forward to windows 7 on HD2 will be an awsome phone. Keep up the good work, dont let people put you off!!!!!!!

always waiting for your goods news with an exciting heart!i think most of us (HD2 users) desire for a wp7 which can be run on hd2.we the outman need you kind hearted.sorry for my bad english

Concerning this situation, I wrote this post in another thread, so I will not reproduce that post here.
It is indeed a very sad day for XDA-Developers. The Dark Forces Team members are pioneers on this forum and the forum would be so much less without the input of these members.

Really disappionting, but still thank you and other members in DFT for your great contribution!

He said " delete this post " and not " this post is deleted "
.. Anyways, I thank you all but i want to mention that not all the members deserve to be treated like that (though the majority does) .
Before leaving, I'd like to post this quote said by Brian Tracy :
"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve *, there is a series of obstacles*, and the bigger the goal*, the bigger the obstacles*. Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else ."
* WP7 & Android.
* Members. (Not All of them but, sadly, the majority )
Have a nice day/night.

persanlly i would like to thank all the dev's because without hspl what would we do ? let alone android or wp7 so i think all the members should buy the dft a crate of beer

A shame...
This is definitely a sad day in the history of XDA's forum.
So much agressivity, brought here by noobs (kind of show off noobs that are supposed to own Apple things ) who are so childish and not patient enough to wait like everyone.
If you recognize yourself in this description, read carefully :
You have 2 options :
- you want win7 like all of us, but you don't have any programing skills : you wait for smart people to make it, kind and wise enough to share with us when it works (would you play here with your hd2 without all their previous work ? So they deserve respect)
Or
-you want wp7 like all of us. But you don't have enough patience to wait for DFT's release. So, rather than insulting or posting fake leaks or even claiming "I have it so I'll give you if you beg me enough", you should make it by yourself... Oh by the way : don't search for "tutorial to have wp7 working on htc leo" you have to make it by yourself!.
This was for minority of users here don't worry.
To other people : thanks to be that wise. You know when we should just wait. Any of you have, for sure, your own thing, knowledge to share. But you know to wait and rely on others
To DFT : I would understand if you give up... But you still have huge support here, and 90% of users here just want to thank you for all your work, for being able to go beyond when we think that all what's possible has been done
It's gonna rain beers for you guys !!
Sorry if I'm rude but it makes me more zen now!

Hear here!
To DFT: "Don't let the b**tards grind you down!"
Keep up the good work, and thankyou, it is MOST appreciated

Compunerd do i know you?

Dear DFT,
Most fans behave well and are overjoyed to interact with their celebrity idols, you folks just have to face it ... you're FAMOUS! Yep, you've got the same problems as movie stars and world leaders. They're out there behind the velvet cords fainting and screaming in anticipation of catching a glimps of what you have to offer... Unfortunately, a few of those spectators are rude and obnoxious. The overwhelming number are grateful you have come and graced our doorways.

guys, just noobs are blaming... they are loosing an idea about what is xda-developers... i appreciate every minute which is spent for HD2 development... there are tons of obstacles on your way, because you are working on BIG thing... anyways.. if you are really giving up, thank you for your work...

Please Read! (My sentiments)

This is what Ive noticed, especially when there are some new update for modules and ROM's;
1. A massive repeated posting regarding new updates.
Its not that we dont want to help you guy's who has difficulties installing ROMs/Module to your phone, but please before posting new topic make sure you consult SEARCH button first, then if you dont find any answer thru searching then its the time to consult. I dont know if we are just lazy to search or what. This is all for us to have a well organized Section and for us to find topic easily. Isnt great to have a single thread so that newbie will not have to search back and post a new topic with already answered one? As you can see Forum for X8 and other are already Categorized, so please post in the right section. Some user made an effort already to organize the topics by making a FAQ with it, so i suggest we should use it for general concern about specific topic. Maybe we can control this massive posting by just dont answering there query if we knew that there question already been answered. Hmm dont think that's rude but i think it will help. Coz if we answer it, they will keep on doing that all over again if they encounter another problem. I also admit that I did this sometime thats why if you could notice i use "we". And i want to change it.
2. Flamming
also known as bashing, is hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users. It is clearly noticeable, that we argue in certain things, but please not to the point that we are already fighting/degrading and hurting someone's feeling so please RESPECT each other, If your good/great then be it, but we have to welcome a newbie gracefully, lets make them feels that they were home and accepted. Im sure we once get here clueless about things or if not, not so knowledgeable enough, we are not in a competition here and we don't question your greatness and knowledge, were proud of it. This is a training ground not a battle ground. Were here to have a harmonious relationship with others, besides we are all FAMILY here. I know for some reason that we just dont stay here to get what we want to our phone, but simply to help each other.
3. Patience
I know it is good to have all what we want, but please stop forcing/requesting repeatedly to our developer, we didnt hired them to work for us, besides they are sharing there work for FREE, and even they ask for some donations, well they have the right to do so, as they are working for us. Imagine if all our developer will be get hired by SE and charge us for all their great work. They will have a better career there, and what do you think will happened to us who are just benefited by there free work? Think of that. So please let's be patient, extend your patience give all there time to find the solution. BTW reporting bugs is different from asking/requesting. It just make our dev's annoyed and might lose interest to work for our many cries. They want to give us a stable home for our phone and they knew about that, so we dont have to tell them what to do, well in fact they know more than you do.
These are just some of my observation. Dont get me wrong here coz its for the common good. I may not give you any ROM,s or Module but i can give you Life Lesson and Love. And if you will hate me for this, well sorry but i will just love you and hug you until such time you realize what I am saying here.
Isn't it great to have a good relationship with everyone and i doubt that you don't feel something when you help someone! I just dont get ROM, Modules and learning here, the most important I gained friends!

Well, it takes two to cuddle and i totally agree with u on this

Well i think its normal for them to ask, coz we the user use more our phone than they do. It will took them sometime to release a ROM is they will test every single function in there work. There work is to provide us the ROM/Modules. If they asked us to look for bugs, then that's also the time for us to work, in return with there great work. Coz i know that they will stop developing if we dont tell them about the problem we encountered. Besides they also get idea's to us. Many heads are better than One. And this is also what you called helping hands. Give and Take process not Take and Take (that's a bad idea) .. wink. oh btw I love ya too.

I agree with this thread and i have add one thing for all X8 users:
I daily check some forums (not only x8) and what i mostly see is people that reply to newbie posts in a rude and useless way, we all hate double posts, no search, requests, stupid posts but keep in mind that when you reply " yo, arent you able to use search ?" "use the dammit search!" , these are posts count at my eyes and rude replies.( i hate them )
If you find that someone did the same post over and over, if someone didn't use the search button or whatever, just ignore to reply and pm or report me and i will do something.

I think they will not delete it without a reason or purpose. Maybe your post was against the rules (i dont know), but im pretty sure Mod's here has its reason, and if it doesnt abuse/break rules then you can consult our moderators. Im pretty sure that they will give time to listen to your query or statement. Remember that they were chosen well and proved enough to be helpful. I think no mods here are using there power as a reason.
I firmly believes in the power of reason, not in the use of power/force as a reason.
Edited: GHoSTABUD, i see the one you posted, htc MT driver that uses synaptic right? Thats promising and pretty useful in the future i think.

I totally agree with you, If we dont have something good to say nor help better we keep our mouth shut, coz words is extremely hurtful. We encourage newbie to learn so that one day they will contribute to us, not discourage them because of our rude manners. I always say this, make them feel at home. Coz were once a newbie too.
DON'T DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU DON'T WANT OTHERS DO UNTO YOU

I deletd the that thread (and other 2) because there was another one made before and as the multitouch thread in the past, i've found useless having 8 threads for the same purpose.
Anyway i did copy your post and another one from the delòeted one and the sticky that i made early.

There should really be a separate thread for each rom opened up where all the bugs noticed and reported back in the development thread will get addressed with the solution.

That's a nice idea indeed.
You only need someone that take care of the thread while copying all reported bugs and fixes from the thread to the first page, otherwise it will be difficult to track bugs.

No worrie man, i didn't take it as an offence .....sometimes mods are seen as cops and you are not happy when you got an infraction from them
Anyway if you will find that it is a driver or something related to development, you can make a thread in dev forum:
_ give proper how to install
_ give credit where it's right
_ dont post any help questions
and you are done.

[REQ] New Years Resolutions FOR XDA Members

Off topic i know.. but i think there should be a thread like this in every phone type/model section of the Forum..
i feel so so sorry for Devs who keep on getting harassed for ETAs for their prospective ROMS/Kernels/bowel movements etc... i would just like to tell all those people who say "WAN IZ ICE KREAM TRIFLE WERKING ON MAI SAMZUNG UNIVERSE EGG SANDWITCHHHH???"...
Please make at least ONE New Years resolution..
DONT harass the Devs, they do this as a hobby and members of XDA are not their bosses. this is a surefire way of getting very good Devs leaving XDA completely and even worse get them to stop developing at all...
So please please please... for your own sake and everyone elses.. play nicely, think about what you ask.. otherwise the site WILL suffer..
And in the wise words of Jerry Springer
"Be Good to yourself, and Each other"
Ciao for now..

And you really think these noobs are actually going yo read your thread or heed your warnings?
They can't even be bothered reading the OP of a dev rom that has all the info they need.
In real life crims will be crims, idiots will be idiots just like noobs will be noobs.

Yes you can flash a Nokia rom on your SGS .

Quality!
i'm at work and that did make me chuckle..... oh the life of a Network Engineer... now if my SGS2 could run Cisco IOS... hmmmmmm

Well said Nutmegy (and others).
I'm still relatively n00bish, but I've got initiative and a desire to learn everything/anything I can about how this phone ticks. I absolutely agree that anyone who isn't prepared to "do the hard yards" should honestly stick to stock unless/until they are.
This would save a number of people (this number seems to be growing by the week) the grief of "soft bricking" their phone & not being able to use same for however many days it takes to get the advice on here to fix it.

Ok fair enough.. i'm not going to rise up to it... just hungover and fed up of reading crap and watching XDA going down the toilet.. if there is a Mod somewhere please close... it was not my intention to pi$$ anyone else off... just a minor rant....
Merry XMAS and a happy new year to you!

If anyone thinks its bad now...then just wait for next year. It will get much worse.
Very simple reason - just do the maths. Last year in Australia alone android had about 20% market share. This year it rose to 48% of all smartphones sold to be the number 1 operating system. All in just one year. I suspect the same pattern is happening worldwide.
So next year it will only increase. Therefore, more users = more xda members so hold on to your seats boys and girls.
And do you know what??? There is nothing you or I can do about it. Shame!
Maybe a silly suggestion and it may be hard to implemented, but xda should have a system where new members need to have been logged in for say 100 hours or have read a certain number of threads before they are allowed to post. Maybe even pop-up messages with basic general information / warnings etc for them as well during the first month/s.
My worry is that it may eventually get so bad that the forum administrators will do something drastic that affects all users negatively.

well if you are just talking about resolutions on here regarding smartphones well i suppose getting stable ICS is one, also i seriously cant wait to get a ASUS Transformer Prime and ill by pass on the Galaxy Nexus and Note both of which i don't believe are as good all round as the SGSII and wait for the SGSIII.
ALSO it would be good if noobs who post duplicate questions without using the search function first get an infraction, there needs to be a disclaimer of some sort when they register for the first time that they need to use the search function first and only if they cannot find the answer to their questions (which is all honesty is unlikely as pretty much everything has been covered on here) only then start a thread.
Finally - it would be good if some people didn't steal other peoples work and pass if off as their own, and remember people play nice as much as you can, all this bickering isn't productive for the forum.

Not silly at all my friend something needs to be done about the sheer amount of duplicate questions being asked time and time on here.

Wow this is actually being quite a constructive thread... USEFUL ideas instead of *****ing about it all.. but yes some kind of mechanism in place to stop dodgy post.. then at least Forum Admins can say "We told you so"... or indeed the easiest way... and i'm going to whisper this... charge people which could unfortunately be the negative effect that XDA could force on us all..
I know they have put the built in search functionality into the Topic creation field (which has saved me a few times!), but there could be a little bit more as mentioned above.
I re-iterate... we dont want to lose any more devs.. and its the stupid few that ruin it for everybody, i have referred to XDA for a few years now and have found it such a useful resource, a good place to share ideas, help each other out and for Devs/Themers to show off their wares...
LONG LIVE XDA!

going to give you a little advise on this.
Why should a developer ask you to test a rom?
What do you offer that no one else does?
Do you know how to get a stack trace from a logcat?
How good are you at making a bug report? Do you just say "x doesn't work", or do you actively think "x isn't working, I'll take a look in the logs and paste the relevant parts. I'll search around a bit and see if a similar issue has happened on another device"?
Basically, A developer has access to hundreds of people that can say there's an issue. If you're going to post your own thread saying "I'm a tester", then you need to show that you know what you're doing.
Regards, Anthony.

*vomits into my hat*
I have a hat for sale if any sgy users want to upgrade their device
edit: before anyone complains, I mean this in a good way to get people off this device that should be dead
edit2: I realise it's actually against xda rules to sell things on xda. So I will instead offer a guide on how to build this fantastic (relatively speaking) device.
Firstly, go fetch any hat you want.
Secondly, throw up in it.
Thirdly, replace your old, terrible sgy with your fresh new device.

Somebody here hass got bad sense of humor

Dude at least think about your title(RD) before speaking those words. Here are many RD who have contributed for our little device like @psyke and other members like @bieltv.3 @whitexp etc a lot.And i believe they all have done a nice job and proved that they deserve those title given by XDA.
So RD doesnot necessarily mean those who develop for HIGH END DEVICES.:laugh::angel:
