Ok, guys. I have not been a user of the Fascinate forum for very long now, but coming from the Droid X section, I have to be honest in saying that this forum needs some help.
That being said, I do know that there aren't a lot of Fascinate owners, especially on this site. Its just sad that I can go and sometimes need to go over to the Captivate forums to get answers. Sad panda.
I would like to get every ones opinion on how to make this forum better, and once the ideas are put into one place, go ahead and have them implemented.
No excuses fellas. Lets make this forum better for all of us!
Thanks in advance!
This may be more directed to a mod than you, but if we keep ONE thread specifically for a lulz thread where we can troll and stuff would be great. Also issue infractions if we troll other threads. I love trolling but there's plenty of times where trolling is unnecessary and possibly hurtful. With all the lulz around that ONE thread would stay busy, while not cluttering up potentially important threads.
/steps off soapbox
More than one troll thread will be necessary to allow for anyone who wants to start one. But if you want to start one use a header like [Troll] or make the title so obvious no one can miss it. Also, confine to the General or Q&A section. Keep it clean, free of excessive profanity and vulgar sexual references, and flagrantly abusive posts.
Edit: I also visit the Captivate forum for answers, but that's because I still have a Captivate, though it's deactivated (wifi only )

Agreed. I like the [TROLL] idea
Does that really help the problem or just hide it in the basement.
It's like telling a recovering alcoholic it's ok to knock a few down when no one's looking.

It hides it in the basement. What some of us are really looking for is lulz threads. What we often get, though, is lulz threads that degenerate into nastiness and get closed, leaving us with one less lulz thread.

I wonder if we could get a lulz sub-forum. It would be groundbreaking lol.
Find a like-minded individual with A LOT of spare time to moderate. We could be trend setters for the entire XDA community.

I hate to let you down, this is not related to rooting the phone.
I'm not a developer. The most advanced code I've written was in my high school computer science course in Pascal. I've used C++ before, but never got anywhere.
You probably don't realize what you're doing requires an amazing amount of skill and mental aptitude. Its something second-hand almost to you developers, but some of us even have a hard time understanding step-by-step instructions. The only way most of us can even begin to contribute is by money, but unfortunately, I can't afford to donate to supply you a source of income, so I know you are mainly doing this for yourself, and then sharing it with others to showcase your ability.
Honestly and wholly from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for everything you do for us. I know this is probably unnecessary motivation as you're probably working on rooting right now, but really your hard work is truly admired.
THANK YOU and THANK YOU.
I hope everyone else who sees this and can offer no other means of gratitude will add to this post in support of our developers.
Whats the point of this thread? a$$ kissing wont get the phone rooted any faster...GEEZ
Yeah kind of a pointless misleading thread, why not just thank the people doing the work in all the other threads?

Don't be a tool...at least he is kind enough to say thanks.
I've just completed my first year of college for Software Engineering, and it can be frustrating enough trying to find other ways to solve a problem when all the ideas you had didnt work. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to work on rooting a phone.
I'm pretty sure the dev's enjoy a thank you every now and then. I would imagine its nice getting some appreciation inbetween all the complaints that the phone isn't rooted yet and that it need to be asap.
sorry, but its still a pointless thread

I hate these idiotic flame wars. Messages like the one in the OP really actually do help.
Maybe you guys will eventually realise that by pointing out that somebody's post is "stupid and pointless", just shows the real devs how idiotic and immature our "community" is.
If a method is found, it will be posted. The entitlement issues that are shown by people like you have to stop.

How can i make one of these? I unzipped the pb zip file, and it contains a txt file and an .img file.. tried to extract the img file with winrar, and tried to mount it with daemon tools, but nothing worked. i'm guessing it's not just a jpg or something like that, i'm guessing it's a rgb file or something like that.. anyways, how do I make a custom boot splash?

hey, you [language edit], was this really necessary.. as far as I'm concerned, this is a development question. it's more than "how do I take a picture" or something else trivial like that, there seems to be some coding or possibily compiling of some sore involved.. so instead of being an asshole, how about you shut the **** up if you don't have anything positive to contribute to the conversation..

and for the record melophat (I'm not bombing on you) but personally I would consider this a themes post. I don't think it belongs here either.
I know some of the vets are getting sick of threads being put in the wrong place, there's a ton of activity here and the one mod we have is getting overworked, imo .Personally, I came from droid forums where there are tons of mods and threads are misplaced all the time
I think it's normally done in something like flash or after effects, and exported as a series of pngs.

...and yet you don't seem to understand how annoying it is for everyone else, who came here to try and find information, but struggle because of how many threads there are on the same subject?
The rules say search before starting a new thread. They say that for a reason (to keep down the clutter).
The purpose of forums is to encourage discussions with people of common interests, in a common location. Starting a new thread goes completely against this concept, since you now have to go to multiple locations... Monitoring multiple threads for news on Gingerbread (or anything else) is a PIA.
The whole board is full of people asking the same stuff over and over again. It's not because they don't know how to search. It's because there's just way too many threads on the same subject, making searching a nightmare. Not only is information dispersed, you also have a much higher potential for conflicting information...
As a Sr Systems Engineer, I would've thought you'd understand about duplication of information being being a major obstacle in configuration management?
Thanks for helping, though... :sarcasm:

Simply starting a thread complaining isn't going to help if you can't have a civil discussion with the mods.
the issue is that any thread regarding "epic general chat" in the "epic general chat" section is closed, yet numerous unrelated flaming, trolling threads remain open.. how is a thread asking where to begin learning to develop for the epic off topic in the "epic" general chat?
Ok, so which threads were closed that you feel shouldn't have been? Apart from the two that were closed by Mr. Clown?

What planet are you from? The issue is you mods keep closing helpful and meaningful threads with no explanation, then leaving the useless and detrimental ones open for the trolls to devour. Obviously there is some sort of disconnect, so please sort out your internal troubles before coming in here flaunting your moderator status. Chris41g and I have been here for quite some time so we're no stranger to the overpowering by mods, but at some point it has to stop and I think now is a great time. We go months and months without seeing a single moderator and now all of a sudden you guys come in and starting closing/deleting threads left and right with no explanation. Please refer me to whoever you have as a supervisor, I would like to speak to them directly if not tonight then tomorrow.

I've noticed every new rom people wanna talk **** about... for example. Enyos new two expresso ...... so what if its a stock i9000 port. We should be encouraging our few devs we have left... not constantly downing them.... if people wanna complainso damn much why don't they make their own rom ...
Sorry just had to vent some about the dumbasses in our forums
Okay, see ya.

I agree. There are a lot of people who do not realize how much effort the developers really put into making these phones better and they do it all for free.
The people on here need to take a course in giving constructive criticism, rather than dogging the rim,or app, or what-have-you all together. This forum isn't a place just to get free help and stuff for your phone. It's here for us to help each other, not rip on eachother.
I've been using xda since the omnia i910 was first released. And I've never seen the forums as bad as they are here. Its sad the way people act now
From what I can tell, the only hostility going on around here is towards enyo. It's easy to see why the people act the way they do towards him too, in fact there's threads describing why they do.
As far as any other negativity...it's easy to want to talk **** to people asking questions that we already have stickies dedicated to. This is (was) a developers forum after all.
I agree there's no reason for hostility on these forums sometimes, but most of the time it's perfectly logical AND necessary for people to learn.
The reason this goes on is because the dev you speak of takes other people roms, add some tweaks, scripts and what not, then calls it is own rom. Most members here can do this, but they would not claim the rom as his/her own. The ethics are off and thats most likely because of him/her being so young. I commend the efforts, but a true dev builds things from source and anything thats kanged, proper credit is given. Besides most everything I read is just a friendly ribbing anyways. If you op cant understand this, then by all means leave, and dont let the door hit ya in the a** on the way out. By the way where is the popcorn
Plus, there are valuable lessons to be learned from all of the trolling:
1. Don't make outrageous claims that you can't deliver on (5000 Quadrant? Really? No spoofing the Quadrant app? Dual-core beast phones don't even do 5000)
2. Don't build hype with shameless self-promotion (WebOS or iOS on the Fascinate?!? Come on...)
3. Never give out ETAs because you never know what might come up.

I would think by now that the Enyo debate had been extensively covered.
In turn for (most) people laying off the trolling and flaming, i dont think we need people to keep popping up to defend him all the time either.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, yes, but to blindly defend someone without any knowledge of why is just plain assinine in my eyes. If you ask me its all foolish, just my $0.02
Edit: also to lose faith in an entire site because of one forum...wow. I too have been here since the i910 and honestly its not a whole lot different other than alot of good contributers leaving. However the community as a whole has always been a tad on the boorish side, thats how forums tend to work.
"I didn't say that...my Fascinate has a tiny troll inside it."
rootzwiki is my main forums now...
i know enyo says alot of outrageous ****... but so have many other devs who got quite a bit of money in donations and disapeared....
atleast enyo is making something....
his expresso pyramid is the fasted rom ive ever used on my fascinate....and ive tried every rom avaliable
Who's made a lot of money and disappeared from the Fascinate forum? jt1134 didn't exactly rake it in, and he still develops for the Fascinate on Rootzwiki. Adrynalyne left the Fascinate forum because he got a Thunderbolt and then left XDA entirely because he was outraged by inconsistent behavior from the Thunderbolt mods. Most others are still here or returned to the Fascinate AFAIK

When I say alot have left I am speaking generally over the years. Between leaving for other forums or starting up teams with their own site or just dropping the cause all together for one reason or another.
The fascinate forum in particular will, I fear, continue to fall in numbers only because this device does not have the staying power of some of the others mostly due to the timeframe of its release and higher profile releases around that same timeframe. I mean seriously, look at the Droid Eris. It was big reds first android phone and is still receiving new and updated material. The Fascinate will never have that following.
That is not saying it is a bad device, but until the leaps made by Jt fell into place it was a pita to develop for (outside of cleaned up TW Roms). Unfortunately by that time most had moved on to newer devices.
"I didn't say that...my Fascinate has a tiny troll inside it."
Sorry, hesh.monster, but I was addressing that question to bones420la, because I don't have access to the financial records and bank statements for each of the devs, therefore I don't know which ones "got quite a bit of money in donations and disappeared"

I figured but I've got my panties in a knot over all these "white knights" (as stated in the Enyos' lastest "Rom" thread). I wasn't gearing my response toward you so much as all of "them". No harm done
