Having been on XDA for a long time now I know that there are a vocal minority that will say "so what" to this post, but that's okay, I'm a happy camper today. The reason that I'm a happy camper is that when I got my Evo just about a year ago I didn't know anything about android. We had what seemed to be a 20 step root method using ADB that frankly scared the crap put of me when I tried it. It was nothing like using my old Mogul.
Today I was able to help 3 different people with problems. It was one of those good news / bad news situations. The bad news is that probably 90% of the folks here still know more about android than I ever will. The good news is that I'm now competent to help those other 10%!
I know, doesn't seem like much compared to out forum "greats," but 3 thanks from 3 different threads is a personal accomplishment for me.
Aha Congrats! I love helping people out although i don't know much as most people here in xda. Everyone learns one thread at a time!

Consider it 4. Or maybe more, before I fire up the CR-48. Never hurts to help. Sometimes it gets old but we must acknowledge a new wave of users. +1 for helping the newbians and being so stoked about it. Been in a good mood today, else I might have said, 'so what?'
A fun and glorious time this is.

That's cool, dude. A few days ago everyone in here was all testy and pissed off, and now that the root is out we're all friends again.

I was the exact same way. I was a complete noob until I had CM7 running on my old Hero a few months ago (6 I think?) then I got the evo and since about 3 weeks ago, I started helping people out. I even made a perfected batch script that pulls apps from /data/app and for devs I made a /system pulling script.
Congrats man for being one of the good guys.
This is exactly the sort of thing that everyone on XDA should be all about. I've personally come a long way from mucking around with ADB to root my Hero and it's really nice to be able to help out every now and then.
Nothing wrong with taking pride in helping others! There are some things it's ok to be proud of, that's one of them! I, too, was a complete noob when I came from iPhone to EVO. At first i just read every thread that had an interest to me but soon i started to read questions and thing "Oh, i know that answer I had this problem already!" or maybe someone else had the problem and posted about it and I read that thread. Before long I was helping people fairly regularly, Up to 17 thanks so far which I know isn't that much but for me it is since i still really know very little about android. But remember it doesn't matter how little you know, as long as you share it!
Some of us remember well the days before internet came around. There were no communities like this. If you needed to know something and it wasn't in a book you owned you went to the library and spent all day looking it up! Now any 8 year old can google anything in 5 seconds. And with smartphones they can do it anywhere. Communities like this one are making sooo many things possible that just weren't before for most people, and people that are willing to help others are what makes it all possible!
The internet? Days before? I don't even ...

Agreed. Helping out people before they make the same mistakes you did, or helping them fix a problem, answering their questions; it's like being a parent guiding your kids, and that's all good.
Agreed. xda is head and shoulders above most forums I've seen for having people willing to take the time to help with both simple questions as well as helping unwind over-the-top complicated disasters.
Sort of restores your hope for mankind in some ways ....
Yep, lots of happy nerds this week.

Hey, that's what a community board is all about. Helping those that need help and getting help in return. At one point even the developers were "noobs". They had to start from scratch with only each others knowledge and a couple computers and phones. After years of giving each other a helping hand, they were able to crack every code all the manufacturers created to lock down the true potential of the phones and have made XDA the biggest and best. developers website there is today.

I have a rom in progress, its gonna be a lot of different things and hopefully I can get it to work .
It will be gingerbread based, something that hasnt really come out yet. A non cm7/miui/vanilla experience.
I do have some questions though so if any better dev then myself can help me out that would be much appreciated.
I'm not a dev but.. i really hope i can see this come into fruition
Haven't you learned by now that it's really lame to post progress or "what I plan to do" threads? If jt or sbrissen did that it would he hacky and they have the work to fall back on
Do yourself a favor and work on whatever you want but keep it to yourself until you have something worthwhile to put out...cuz so far you are about 0 for the century on executing what you plan to do
And if its aosp based don't just rebuild jts vanilla rom with a new theme and call it something else

I think its pretty lame to make "LMAO" posts, but I couldn't help it sorry.
There was another guy in the charge forum who made a thread of how he was gonna make a spiffy new rom and gave release dates and he just crashed and burned badly.
To the op, if you just did all that without saying anything nobody would have known. Too bad.

Ok seriously, I'm always in favor of somebody trying to produce something "new" (key word) for the community. But, your track history in this area commands nothing but ridicule and flaming tbh. Keep working on whatever it is you are working on, but let the next thing you post in the forums be a link to something functional.

Xda has become popular. Its the source of many good ROMs. I wasn't around during the winmo days, but I assume those people were hardcore and the original flashers.
You can thank android for making xda popular via websites such as phadroid or droidheadlines or anything with the word android in it that link xda. "You can activate hspa+! But not through att but xda!"

While I wasn't here during the winmo days, I can say the overall discussion on this site has been nosing down toward negative. Not just in the Atrix section, but all of the sections I visit.
Well the author of this thread, if you haven't noticed, hasn't noticed the stick up arse. Have you noticed his responses, the threads he/starts, the entitlement and lack of humor. And I don't think the case was presented very well with a topic started like this. Have a nice day op.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
This question has been asked before, learn to use the search button noob!!!
I have no qualms with XDA as I have enhanced my devices exponentially thanks to the "services" and advice and help.
however, coming from the nexus one, and those threads, to the
atrix and its threads, I have noticed a lot more animosity and the lack of overall altruism that I used to sense.
Again, I thank xda for all that it shares and I am grateful, animosity or not, but I understand what the OP is feeling.

This has nothing to do with the Atrix. Should be moved or removed.

i feel what your saying, but not everybody on here act like that, i try to help when i can even if their new to the atrix. I've ran across a few that tried to give me a hard time when i was only asking a simple question, you just gotta put them in their place, even if you gotta snap on them, they'll learn not to mess with you.
Im on the fence here because I do come from winmo and my HTC Fuze where there was tons of help. You could say I was a flash whore back then and I did it within the 1st 24hrs of owning it because people seemed to give me clear instructions and not point me to a link that conflicted with another link or set of directions.
I now am going on a week with the new Atrix and am getting close to unlocking it with very vague help and nobody seems to take a look at exactly what I am saying or my concerns but just push me somewhere else. So I guess it is help but it seems like getting pawned off onto someone else in hopes they will give me a direct answer...
Props to XDA and its legions of devs and what you guys do but right now I feel exhausted with this phone...
why is this assinine thread getting so much attention? completely off-topic, and irrelvant to the atrix. The question is (again) where is the mods?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
It seems you can't go to a thread lately without some drama out there. Even our great DEVs are snapping at people. You can't mention the iphone without a huge debate breaking out. And heaven forbid you say something even remotely negative about CM9.
We are all here bonded with a common interest...to make our awesome Epics more awesome. Can't we all try being a little nicer about it. If a noob asks a question answered a 100 times, politely tell him to search and use Google as well and answer the question. Reading all these negative posts are making me feel like snapping too. And who here is not guilty of asking a stupid question at least once? Hell I am scared to death to post in the CM9 development thread the way people get flamed....and I have read the entire thread.
I have been here for a year and a half and seen this forum at its best and at its worst. Can't we all try to keep it at its best?

Im cranky because im frustrated that I dont understand android better despite hours of reading and countless hours of trial and error. My battery life blows and I miss SRF1.2.
I think it is because everyone has run out of stuff to complain about. First it was no GB, we got GB, then it was no ICS, now we have ICS...
People like to complain, and when they can't they lash out at people...
I also think it has to do with the Nerd herd needing recognition. They need to here that their "E-Penis" is bigger than everyone else's, otherwise we get lovers quarrels.

January and February are long, grey, ugly months (except for me and Kenny, who live in Florida and love this time of year; sunny, warm, no humidity).
I'll probably get flamed just for the previous sentence...
But we mustn't despair! Spring is around the corner, and the devs keep pumping out great stuff. I know there was some drama recently concerning clean githubs (whatever the hell that means), but its not too far off from last year's assault on kanged launchers and some other dust-ups. Basically, we are rocking a device that is going to turn 2 years old this summer, running the latest Android version and still sporting a stable of talented, dedicated and brilliant devs.
Perhaps, as the expression goes; "It's Just That Time Of The Month..."

I've been on XDA a long time. Met some tremendous people here and have learned an incredible amount. A lot of us joined together and did something special (#NeverAgain).
In my time, a lot of things seem to have gone sour with XDA (not the people that use it).
The only downside here is that XDA is a force. Everyone uses it. Because of that, everyone gets treated the way XDA wants to treat you, not necessarily how they SHOULD be treated.
THE ONLY WAY FOR THERE TO BE CHANGE, IS ACTION.

I applaud your move. Yet as you probably know, you cannot boycott or even teach adults into morals and values. If they value fame, money, or prestige over behaving correctly, then nothing can change that now.
They will not understand what you are even talking about. They will only feel threatened and will either lash out or silence you.
Your message does have a chance to get others. What remains to be seen is whether or not then leaders of this forum will be cowardly and silence you by taking down this thread or will they leave it up for a chance at meaningful and productive dialogue so you can get your message out?
sorry to hear you're leaving too. xda is mess.
we've seen a bunch of devs leave here and and then eventually shutting down. guess they just lose the interest in time. but it was fun. thanks for keeping us informed on the root thread when all else failed.
I just welcomed you back. I appreciated your thread when I first came over to this forum. Hopefully they will keep it up. Maybe I'll start downloading everything I don't already have in case they do and I'll maintain it, if that is ok with you. Feel free to PM me with anything before you leave.

Not going to air it all out, but it's my personal opinion xda could be doing a heck of a lot more for the community it depends on.
Other sites seem to get it. That's where I hope people go.
Farewell old friend.

See you over on Rootz shame XDA has driven you away
I completely agree. This site makes a lot of money from its users. Its great when a site gives back.

I've been on XDA a long time. Met some tremendous people here and have learned an incredible amount. A lot of us joined together and did something special (#NeverAgain).
In my time, a lot of things seem to have gone sour with XDA
The only downside here is that XDA is a force. Everyone uses it. Because of that, everyone gets treated the way XDA wants to treat you, not necessarily how they SHOULD be treated.
THE ONLY WAY FOR THERE TO BE CHANGE, IS ACTION.

EDIT. Could not find a way to delete my account. Someone can take care of that after this gets reported I assume.

I hear you bro -- but from an outsiders perspective, it sounds like you are taking something too seriously. I for a v brief time felt the way you did even, then I realized .. allowing a website to keep me from downloading files is short changing truly only me. Have no choice ~

Seriously.. have you considered a tweet / pm / etc maybe that will get more of a message across. Nothing personal, just my .02
Happy crack flashing!

Wait a minute. You don't have to get ugly, but can you give some context? What is the issue?

I can't really describe how I feel with words.
We never worked together but we worked on the same device. The EVO forums were like a dev family, and we lost a member.
RIP buddy.

I still can't believe it.......My thoughts and prayers go out to his family!
I talked to Diablo a few times throughout the years and I will say this about him. Every time I talked to him, I could sense the love he had for all of this! For his contributions, his ROMs and just to be part of all of this! The guy loved Android and he loved helping people!
He would help anyone at any time no matter what! It didn't matter if you had a problem with someone on his team or vice versa, he only cared about helping you. He wanted to see the community grow and wanted to be part of it.
Last time I talked to him, I was helping him get setup so he could compile some ROMs from source and maybe add some mods at a later date. We talked about Android and the community as a whole. Joked around a bit and that was it.........I can't believe that was the last time I would talk to him.
This morning I logged on to Google+ and to my surprise I saw the news that he had passed away
Diablo, you will be missed dude!
Diablo was a great guy and I'm proud to of called him a friend and a team mate. His passion for android and learning and sharing was inspirational.
Mad love for you brother. May you find the peace that was lacking in life and rest easy knowing you touched so many of us with your open mind and giving nature.

Thank you for this thread papasmurf.
Diablo67, you will surely be missed my friend. I had so much fun testing roms & helping the tiny bit I did. You were always there to help me & everybody else. RIP my friend.
Thoughts & prayers to your family & loved ones.

I never got a chance to work with Diablo directly but he showed how much he loved android in the Roms he put out. I ran so many of his Roms, people like him is what made the EVO Community so great. Hard to believe our friend is gone. He will be missed. My condolences to his friends and family. Rest in peace bud.
When I got my first Og I found his work to be some of the best. He inspired me to start working with android. Later I got to work with him on a couple projects and it was always fun and games. He was always around to help anyone with their problems even personal problems. No matter if things were going bad for him he was still there for us.
Diablo67 was one of the greats. A great artist, tweaker, modder, friend, and man. I could have never asked to know a better person. He will live on in our hearts and our Evo's. I know longer use mine as a primary phone but it is still running one of his ROMs.

This totally shatters me. I don't even know how to be right now about this. Diablo was one of my best friends on here. We were in several Dev teams together, but that's nothing. He was just one of the few people, along with Swiper and others that I truly considered a friend. Even while I haven't been so active on XDA recently, we still had a lot of PM conversations. I'll miss him a lot. Much more than i can put into words.
Go with God, my friend ((((((((
I'm at a loss for words.. He was a good friend and an excellent mentor and I'm proud to say I've worked with him. I only wish I had spoke to him more in the last few months.. May he rest in peace.

Well I have been in touch with his girlfriend and planning on sending a donation to help out. If anyone else would like to do the same I will give you the info so you can. His girlfriend has no PayPal so it will need to be sent via snail mail. No one has asked me to do this but I want to help him as he would have done for any of us.
Brother your body may be gone but you will always live in our hearts.

That is sad news.
Spoke with him several times and he was always so much fun.
He will be missed.
R.I.P. my friend.
You will be very much missed . Thank you for all that you shared, I learned a lot from you.
R.I.P. Diablo67
I never really got the chance to talk to him much, but from the few times I did here on XDA he was kind and always patient with questions. He was the type of dev that would make it a priority to fix a problem of a single user, or help them troubleshoot.
Also, he taught quite a few of you who helped me learn more about Android and everything that goes with it. So indirectly, he taught more people than he knew.
I'm going to miss seeing his name around here, though his works will live on. All in all, fantastic Dev/chef/modder.
