Use the search button! You will be amazed at the plethora of info that will pop up on XDA and the internet! This question should be in general also. You are not developing anything. This is just a general question!

STFU with telling people to STFU. Also no one needs to know what device you sent your post from.

Thank you! I've been wondering the same thing. I've searched XDA, but it turned out I was looking in the wrong places. God this site's changed since the Kaiser days.

No problem. Glad I could help Looking forward to your potential ROM.

Paul's ÇM9 thread :(

Guys the thread is gone ! Any reason for it ?? I saw the name changed to "plz remove" and the 1st post wiped clean and replaced with "No more support"...did anything happen ? Why did that happen ??? Any ideas

yes..it's the post that i said..poor people..copy the work of others..
sorry my bad english

One thing I don't understand. Paul has deleted everything about his ICS developement from XDA. OK, but with this he only made bad thing to the XDA community, noth for the thiefs. I'll explain: they've got the source now, so they can make their roms, and if they make the ICS for lowend phones complete, then they can say: its their rom, because there will be not any written logs here on XDA from Paul... we don't want that. SO. Instead of deleting everything, why not the XDA community holds together and earn to erase those damn little pests from the surface of the earth that stole the WORK OF A REAL DEVELOPER.
I understand paul's step, but I think it can be solved another way. No matter what, I stand beside Paul! Good luck, and next time just give an oppurtunity to XDA to help you. Thank you.

Jealous

Some developers are jealous of other developers.Coz their rom is better than the other.They say it warez.But acc to me everything here is WAREZ for GOOGLE.I support LX team for their effort nd request admin not to close their thread
Sent from my iXperia using xda premium

*facepalm* these are the kinda threads which are prime candidates to be locked by mods...
As for the issue, I wasn't there when it happened but all I know is B.Jay and TeamDX are serious developers. They wont get jealous or act immaturely towards others that have not wronged them. But if people have stolen their work then it's a different story. I don't know what happened but I'd be pissed if people stole my long hard hours of time and energy to make the ROM. A ROM is like your child. How would you like it if I were to kidnap your kid, dress him up in another outfit and present him/her to the rest of the world as my kid ? You'd be furious, right ? All that hard work just to have a child and someone, so effortlessly swoops in and uses your work to get their fame. The way many of you took it really was and is childish. This is XDA Developers. A forum for developers to share their work and for normal users to test and report. It's not a playground for trolls, children and theives.
P.S. I'm talking about ALL 9 soft modded ROMs, not just the recent one.

But did YOUR so called major developers built ANDROID.They also must have taken all the necessary files and modded them.Its right that the rom launched was without permission and should be closed.But the thread which contained many roms for lot of time should not be closed
Its unfair

Android is FREE. It does not belong to anyone and because its free people free to redevelop it anyway they like. If what you say is true, the "your friend" is also at fault for doing the same, am i right ? Please do not continue this arguement. It's going nowhere.

Thanks Rohin Zaraki for your support.Im not his friend i just love his rom
I just want that he must not be stopped for developing rom.
Thanks again

@Rishi Im not a developer. Its ok to share your sentiments but if it would be to start a flame or abusive/offensive words by or thru other members then there would be no point discussing about this.

Idea to make a poll

I do not know whether it exists or not
I just want to suggest to the moderators or developers as possible to make a poll by the chart or anything else
able to ROM, Kernel, Threads, etc.
so it helps us all see the ups and downs of something based on it and vote for the beginner to find out .. :fingers-crossed:
thank you

Wut?

I don't understand?
What poll do you suggest?
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app

Yeah, its a good idea.
Its a lot better than new users creating a new thread & asking the best ROMs available..
It serves as a good informal guide to using ROMs according to their personal requirements.
Hope the Mods do it !:fingers-crossed:

like I said chris..
poll for
ROM, thrad, member activities, and so on

Right!

It is a bad idea to compare ROMs as is impossible to judge which ROM is best as everyone has different preferences. You can only say which ROM has the most features, is the most lightweight, is the most beautiful etc.

it's like they are saying that xda dev make a sort of poll that will show which is best rom/kernel to prevent the asking of similar question maybe it would be a good idea

We have plenty of helpful threads and FAQ and still nobody reads them. I mean noobs.

It's like asking "Lets have sticky notes pasted everywhere around a school so students won't ask teachers any questions" while there's a mountain load of useful books and notes on the student's table

agreed! that sure is what they want to do

OT: hey joker nice to see you here. why so serious?
Hmm well I remember someone I guess CCknot who continue FDE because the developer no longer active and never say any words about his developments and he continues it. So I guess it would be ok until such time I guess that he complains about it. Ill talk to some mods regarding your issue. "If the dev can no longer be contacted is xda would someone allow to continue the dead development."

Ah can someone give me thw rule's link?
PS: OK THANKS
But how can i be able to post without 5 minutes limit?

Hi lorks,
I sent a message to some mods and admins about your issues, and from some questions to other members it turned out that xperianfan has an issue with that ROM and sadly discourage by mods to continue the development. I will send pm to colossus coz I guess his the one who dealt with that ROM and ask for some background.

Thx for help
