Soft Modder Section - XPERIA X8 General

Hey guys, I've been observing the X8 Dev section and what i've observed is that there are many "developers" releasing their "roms", faster than Kim Kardashian's divorce D trust me, THAT was really fast TBH)...and from what I see, things are getting very ugly between know-it-all senior members and wannabe developers...the former accusing the latter that he/she merely themed a MiniCM rom and the latter defending their work, based on the fact that soft-modding is not a crime on xda, so as long as they're free of warez and proper credits are given...
I want your opinions and thoughts on the subject; Should a Soft-Modding Section be opened for these junior/begginer/wannabe developers ?
I for one feel that it should. Soft-modding is the 1st step in learning how to develop. No one should be punushed or banned for doing so...however, I also agree that the DEV forums shouldn't be cluttered with these modded roms... Even I am sick and tired of opening a new thread and reading past the 1st paragraph, saying something like "Hi, this is my first rom on XDA ! I hope you guys like it ! My work is based on nAa's MiniCM 2.2.0, with a few "tweaks" to it"...and what makes me even more sick is the amount of negative responses from senior members whom I thought had more ethics and manners...and what DO i always see happening to these threads ? A lock icon on the top right corner (I use tapatalk app )...So I want to know, what do you think ?
P.S. :YES, I KNOW THERE WAS ANOTHER THREAD LIKE THIS NOT TOO LONG AGO BUT IT WAS CLOSED DUE TO THE MEANINGFUL THREAD ENDING UP IN SOME STUPID FLAME WAR ! SO PLEASE, NO TROLLING, HATING, GOING OFF TOPIC OR FLAMING HERE TOO

I agree, a section for soft moders should be created.

Yes thats exactly what im proposing....soft modding is not considered DEVELOPING but neither is it as lowly as to be considered THEMING either...i have tried these modded roms...some are merely themed but some are actually better than the originals

A thread for modded roms and stuff? Sounds good!
+1

+1 there should be a soft modding section like they have for samsung galaxy SII
we only have a few base roms and tons of soft modded roms

I agree with having a separate section.Soft modding is not against the forum rules, while endless flame wars and spamming is. If people want to have it clear on whether a rom is original or tweaked, the best solution is a separate section.

Guys we have "themes and apps" section.
What do soft modders do ?
They edit framework-res and system UI
AND thats what themers do.
People should post in themes and apps section.
BUT members want to be "recognized developers" so they post in dev secion(i can understand you guyz)
PS-was getting bored of studying,couldnt leave xda

I thought that soft moded roms arent acceptable in dev session
why dont you just report those that you see in dev session and you think is soft modded roms?
and no i dont think a new session about soft modded roms should be created
seriously who wants them?!
and if by any chance one of these worth it should be in dev session...

I think it's good to have a Soft Modder section..because I don't want to see someone who mod a ROM getting ban from sharing their work in Development section..

NO keep soft mods out, just make a damned [MOD] thread with your frameworks and stuff like that!!!

Disagree...Sorry sir...Just like the other said,we have themes & apps section...I saw some works in themes & apps thats like the one you thought...They based their work in the rom & credit to the op of the rom,like petrukgrinder,he based his transparent status in minicm,in that case people recognized him also an x8 contributor & not pain in the ass just like they call them a troller...

Guys,
I would like to say yes but I think its not necessary.I mean,me like what these guy doing & me appreciated Them but thats not the way should be.
1.If somebody can fix some bugs or can make a rom better performance why not just cooperate with DEV so their can solved in their next update.
However, there always a few exceptional like:
a)Dev had enough, others can continued exp-what B.Jay do for GDX
b)Make a rom for difference kernel exp-What Devstaf did for ICS stock
2.If somebody can make a rom more beautiful there are 2 options they can post in Theme sec.
a)make a flashable zip exp-what Bakabon19 do for Athojan SDE rom
b)make a CWM/Xrecovery backup-not yet in here but many Chinese forum already practicing it.
So if everybody play theirs role,the add sec need no more.
Thank to Rohin for this thread
Peace

I get why some of you want soft modding is banned...but the fact remains that it isnt illegal to soft mod and share on xda...hope none of you hate me for my replies...im basically sitting on the fence with this...i'll debate with all of you...as for those who agree that soft modding is ok, im asking you, why do you want to see the same thing over & over & over with just a new face ???

News about current circumstances

As some of you may have noticed a few threads have dissappeared in the DEV section
This is because of two reasons, the first being the Developer wanting to leave xda, the second being the sheer level of bad language to be found in them.
I also want to remind everyone that opening a topic to ask a developers to come back is not helpful or wanted, and they are currently being deleted. And those certain members who feel hat they have been wronged and start rom bashing. will be dealt with severely
Please Feel free to PM me or any other mod with a concern

no x10 section is under the enter forums rules, however if a person spams or trolls then they get seen to fast
In other words the rules you agreed to when you registered.
an idea, or suggestion, but...
i [read no one of importance] think this would be an opportune time to clean things up in the different forums, maybe enforce a general guideline for devs in thread naming and structure, maybe eliminate some of the stickies that are no longer needed [ie 2.1 after effects and 2.1 rom coming soon, petition for froyo, etc] so more important stickies don't get lost in sticky land [ie forum rules/guidelines].
i think with some structure and uniform, people wouldn't be so quick with the "create another thread about gingerbread coming" mentality.
just a suggestion and in no way telling anyone how to moderate their forum.
This dev who shall not be named has many people who adrore or hate him . The people who liked him are now taking everychance to criticize other devs

Free open source is being misused. These devs are contributing for free. Free source doesn't mean we can expect slavery or even cooperation.
What? Are you going to say that since a person isn't updating or contributing fast enough, or even having disagreements with others, that they don't deserve the opportunity to participate in an open and free forum?
Edit: Not to mention, that most of the people *****ing are senior members who contribute nothing more than assistance to noobs who break more xda rules than any developer, and the fact that Trip provides some of the best ROMs for the X10 should elevate him to untouchable status.
Anyone who talks **** about Trip better be a majorly contributing developer, otherwise just shut up.

I agree with you. They offer a ROM that is free for everyone to use. Where does it say that they are obliged to update it? Whether they do or don't is completely up to them. As for the flaming and taunting, I do not agree with that and everyone, whether its a dev, mod or member should exercise courtesy and respect towards others. It seems that this forum has turned into a soap opera lately which is really disappointing.

Just a small thinking.Well,I don't want to be banned
Just ignore me if this is offensive
You firstly mentioned that that dev doesn't have the intension to continue his work.But I am wondering if he had given such comments here on his/other posts.Would you mind to provide some evidence?I am pretty sure that you deleted the posts after you have read some of his comments.
For the sheer level of bad language,I always read post.
In a war,yes,it is no doubt that some devs here are/were arguing because someone want to protect his own work,personally I think it would be better to define the level of bad language.Calling people a copycat,saying someone is a glitch violate the rules?Language is not maths,meanings of word varies from person to person.
Also,it is understanding that someone speaks bit rudely when he is in anger.
Furthermore,what if that dev really can show some evidence that someone might forget to give him credit?
Thanks for reading
regards,

Really disappointed about what has happened here. I woke up to see the x10 forums in pieces.
I'm sure the aim of this forum is to forge cohesiveness between users who are willing to learn and share with developers who are willing to selflessly Take time out of their busy schedule to cook up roms for our users
I know that whatever I'm gonna say here ain't gonna change the mod ' s mind but I hope the mods can really come clean about what really happened here instead of using vague terms like "attitude problem" or "unwilling to work on updates" when he releases updates almost once a day. Just like a democratic government, and citizens of a democracy, transparency and accountability to the people should top priority

Sad to see him leave, only for the developments he provided to X10, the conflict wont be missed but what I seem to be missing is about 30 or 40 post to my post count. This has happened before to me when he closed/deleted a thread of his. It is not really important in the grand scheme of things but my posts were not offensive, mostly helpful and relevant questions to Trip or others. Is it fair that I (others also) loose or have a reduction to their post count throught the deletion of the thread? I dont post a lot so will take a little time to build it back up lol. Cheers

Also how can mods say "one reason was because he didnt work on updates"... WTF.... He does this for FREE and where in rules does it say "if u release a rom then u must provide frequent updates"

Crappy poll and threads against voters

Asking for vote and writing... quote..
"...please be aware that this poll will be public"..
This looks like a threat to me.
I voted against it as I dont like it
So this is why new users arent allowed to post in the dev threads.......
I had to pm this guy in the beginning. he had his rom full of paid apps. even voodoo control plus from our well respected dev supercurio was in there and many others!
I saw that and had to do something, posted on his thread. want to know what he answered to me in pm? these guy intentions are very weerd if you asked me.
Think he could better make a theme and stay out of development section. think he's also on the wrong forum, this is no warez forum!
what was he thinking by doing that, it says allot about himself and how he thinks about not paying developers for there apps. posting in a section where those same developers have there thread! it is clear to me that he does not know what this place is all about.
it's just another summer rom from a kid.

I'm guessing you don't realise that "Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected." is actually a default message from the forum software.
A little more research next time will go a long way to avoid posting waste of time threads like this.

Request to forum moderator...

Anyone with me to request the moderators to stop this soft-modded rom making??? Its getting a passion now!!! Every1 mods and claims fastest rom... like ics roms r being monitored, can we have gb roms to be monitored too?
Many roms r ugly 2, wid flashy colors n bloatware, just because d modder luvd d softwares himself...

But still you have to rate them for putting effort in, they are starters but what they do is appreciated by many people. And often if we don't discriminate or complain they will carry on to become future devs, everyone has a small beginning, success does not happen overnight

true, maybe you dont understan what im talking about.. a lot of roms out there is themed and tweaked miniCM7 or gingerDX, thats not developing, they dont have any extra feature or option..just transparent status bar, changed apps, blah blah blah...

PEACE
Just Stay Cool, And Stay On Topic Brother.
I don't agree in deleting them or banning them.First of all, it's not against the forum rules.
Second, some of them are really good, better than the originals.For example the IceColdX8 by DevStaffAndroid is much better for me than the original nAa's rom.And I don't mean it terms of themes, the appearance is exactly the same, it's just faster and lighter.And guys there said they will try to fix the camera issue, so it's not just another "I themed and tweaked this rom, here it is" and nothing else. (like the SuperIcs or whatever was it called".
Since these threads comply with the forum rules, I fail to understand why they should be closed or banned.
Making two different sections though, that's the best idea.
DevStaff is boy who almost ported ICS for stock kernel users! nobody saids that hi is one of them! but that superICS or whatever..whats that but themed miniCM9!?

i would suggest remove this thread.
See, first of all, this is a development thread, you are not supposed to be posting any useless threads or any requests or any such things. Second, Developers develop in their free time, they are not going to work as you say, after all they are already doing us a favor by sharing with us, their hard work and their ROMS. And more over they are doing it for free. Third, there are plenty of "STABLE" froyo roms as well as a pretty stable cm7 (2.3 rom) which you can use. And regarding update and active development, I think Galaxy 3 is currently in its one of the best phase of development, kernel 3.4, jelly bean, openfimg etc.
Looks like you are new here at XDA, and you did NOT read the rules of XDA and probably didn't even watch the amazing "You are a noob" video, here are some links for you, you MUST follow, and please go through all of them before continuing further on XDA -
MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO (XDA- You are a noob)
READ THE RULES
AND BE A NEWBIE NOT A NOOB
And then, have a nice time on XDA. Enjoy the support of developers, moderators, recognized contributors and senior members, don't bother any one.

G3 community is less active because this device is a low-end and old one...if you want a lots of roms with full working list go buy an GN or GSIII and go away ! We all love this community and their devs so show more respect to them, they made my old phone the best it could be and I thanks them for that

And the other thing is g3 has lots of developmn many high end devices dont even have so much of activity going on. like moto droid razr being a high end its really less active i development....they dont hve muh custom roms either. g3 instead have had more deving 2.2>2.3>4.0 and now an almost working 4.1. thts a record break . reporting this thread now or this topic will go on extending and mod will scold of of us......

The title really hurts me..........wake up devs?? Are they sleeping??
They are striving hard even in their spare/leisure time to keep this phone alive for years to come.
Our community is really gifted to have such a bunch great devs.
Just because you moved to a new device, plz don't post things that discourage devs........there r still a lot of devs who have upgraded their devices & still help us.
Sorry if it looks rude. But, we are friends indeed.
I think we don't need any more discussion on this & it would be better if the mod closes this thread.

Our regular thread got closed because of senseless OT,fighting,and egoism by some immature members.
I used to get all latest GS2 and android related news from it so far.
But now that thread stands closed and I cannot follow all the posts made in different threads daily because of my profession(we have a lot of friends in the same situation) I request all our Indian friends to come and contribute here about GS2 and Android EXCEPT
NO MORE OT
NO MORE APPLE/ANDROID BASHING
NO MORE SPAMMING
NO MORE TALKING ABOUT COMPUTER GAMES.
Even if we get one post per day and it is relevant, it is enough.
I request sahibunlimited,Harsha,ithehappy,raviteja,nishu_gamer,#illidan,coolbuddyin,iekansh,emceeb,ravenssight,ankittulsian,nitinvaid,rajarshi10,ssvijay,ronhoover, anshmeister,sun.90,Jim.j,atulalvenkar,drrkgupta,rakeshishere,reddead66,joenalin and a lot of our friends whose name I have forgotten to come and contribute here and answer questions raised by newcomers.(Bala and Kachru are also welcome as they still retain their GS2 related Knowledge Base)
PS: I am opening this thread only for the abovesaid reason and not to gain any name or fame.
PS2: And if that original thread gets unlocked, I request the Mods to lock this thread.
I am adding the golden words from Bala here for better reach:
* This thread represents a whole nation so pls respect it and keep the rants out somewhere.
* If you dont have answer for any queries raised by a fellow user either ignore it or try helping him/her in a polite way.
* If you find some useless posts or feel someone is going beyond the rules simply report the post with appropriate reason, the rest will take care of itself.
* Sharing is knowledge!! share your knowledge of sgs2 and android as always.. it helps others a lot.

Hi since the last one got closed by the mods (Thanks omax u wanker) I was hoping this could be a new start when we all Indian S2 owners can leave in peace and harmony (yea I know I am being melodramatic)
But seriously the last one was a good thread lot of nice helpful people and a good place to hang out
Make sure no hormone crazed teens are allowed to run amok this thread and everything should be fine
wishing u all 'Indian GS2 Owner's' GoodLuck, and do hope this thread will prosper without any issues for now

My dear buddies.. looks like this is going to be our new thread
Please keep in mind the following things before thinking of posting
* This thread represents a whole nation so pls respect it and keep the rants out somewhere.
* If you dont have answer for any queries raised by a fellow user either ignore it or try helping him/her in a polite way.
* If you find some useless posts or feel someone is going beyond the rules simply report the post with appropriate reason, the rest will take care of itself.
* Sharing is knowledge!! share your knowledge of sgs2 and android as always.. it helps others a lot.
Though many of the senior members here know these rules, im pointing these things again specifically for the new users.:good:
@nelson
Yes this was like a hub where we used to share all S2 main related news. It used to be a summary kind thread where we used to know what all have happened in other parts of XDA or Android. Be it be a new ROM, a new app or tweaks or mods. Sad that old thread got plagued by lots of OT and mindless fights.
Hoping this thread will stay clean and much more knowledge oriented
Thank you for taking the initiative on starting his thread.
So now since the OP is now active in XDA (unlike the old thread) we can update some nice "must know points" as and when the days progress (like it's been done on S3 thread).

You have bookmarked some important posts in the older thread.[like H001]
Can u post them here so that they will be helpful for us and for any newcomer?
Yes, nice to see another thread. But I highly doubt how long is this gonna last. Just hope for the best.
Just a KIND REQUEST to the kids, please think thrice before posting OT and restrain yourself from posting if you aren't sure what you're doing and what's your purpose here, it's easy. There are PLENTY forums elsewhere, floating, where you can fight and argue about XboX, PS3, PC, Apple vs Android and blah blah and all those highly nonsense bull****, so why chose XDA? And please keep using proper English, this is not a literature topic that you need to show your language skills with your mother tongue, no one is interested.
The old thread is closed people. This thread will be too if all the posts rant about the closed thread.
Lets make a new beginning.
BTW: Did anyone figure out how to install the OTA available in sammobile? I tried with stock LP7 unrooted firmware. Didnt work..

Not really. My phone is out of warranty. Dont want to risk it.
I was kinda hoping that it being an OTA could be flashed via Odin/ stock recovery...
I guess I will have to go back to my LPU nandroid..
