Database Users

Development Thread is Polluted!

Is it just me or is there WAY too many ROMs now? To be honest, options are always good, but it seems there are so many different ROMs being pushed out and that worries me. It seems the Development thread is getting polluted with all these roms. Most of them seeming useless, at least to me. But what do I know?
Note: Maybe I'm getting tired of waiting for TW

This thread is D.O.A. People complain when there's too little activity in the dev section, but I've never seen anyone complain about too much activity...
Just because TW is your favorite team, doesn't mean they should be the only ones posting roms.

This has got to be the most BS complaint the vibrant forum ever had. Well that's just what I think don't know about what the others will say.

<rant> For god's sake can we please stop with posting threads like this? Its of absolute no benefit to the community. Like stated previously by tgc first people complain the community is dying nwo that its thriving yall want to complain more? If you think something in the dev thread is of no use to you then dont bother with it, choices are good, and i for one am glad that there are new roms being put out there by new devs/dev teams that are giving us more quality stuff to play with.
So once more I implore not only you but everyone to please stop posting these useless threads. </rant>

I for one am a fan of choice. Whether it be aosp, sammy themes or ports. Bring em on. If you like a single choice that's well received, I hear they call it an iphone

General Chat! All XDA'ers Welcomed!

Ok guys/gals here it goes, Hopefully, this can become a sticky
Im gonna explain why I have decided to create this thread, and then I'm gonna explain what this thread will be all about.
First, why did I create this thread? I have noticed lately alot of members who like to get a little chatty in certain threads...whether its in the general section, dev section or themes & apps. Sometimes we can get a little carried away with our talking and it usually ends up with another member(s) telling these 2,3 sometimes 4 people to stay on topic and stop flooding the thread..Rightfully so. Sometimes, it also goes as far as a mod having to come into the thread, spend time cleaning it up, and then hand out bans, warnings, etc etc...rightfully so.
So, whats this thread all about? It's simple...THERE ARE NO TOPICS! we as XDA members sometimes like to talk..period! Within this thread we can talk about whatever we want...your fav rom, your fav theme, your fav theme with fav rom, other phones, cars, tv's, dslr camera, your job, where you live, post pictures of random cool things..etc etc.
The great thing about this is there will be NO going off topic, no warnings about going off topic, no being sent on vacation etc etc. This DOES NOT mean you now have the right to disrespect other members. This simply means you are now free to talk about whatever it is you want. Just as if we were all sitting around a camp fire with a beer in each hand...good ol' conversation!
The only thing I can ask of this is remember every member will and has there own opinion about anything that may get mentioned in this thread...PLEASE respect that! Don't be rude to other members, don't start fighting. This thread is our chance to finally go "off topic" without any harm.
This thread can be fun...I noticed alot of people who like to talk...so lets do this.
ps. Just because I created this thread does not mean in any way that I am gonna run it or be in control...oh helll no lol. This thread is for all of us to run and have fun. I suspect we are all mature enough to keep this thread fun, clean, stupid (you know how you get stupid sometimes, but it's funny lol) funny, and also help other people out with anything that gets talked about.
So, what do you guys say? Lets do this or what?
Now, im off for the night/early morning...my little girl will not go to sleep no matter what I do. It's been playtime for her for the last 17 hours or so...she is like that dang energizer bunny....I seriously don't get it...she needs sleep! lol

i didnt even read though ur 1st line. all i need is 2.3.3
this thread will be closed.

So which do you think will come first? 2.3.3 for X10 or Diablo 3 beta . I really think it's a close race

a place to really chat sounds nice

Well we already have an off-topic sub-forum but I like the idea to have one like this here in our X10 sub-forum, Not sure if mods will let it but good idea

No, he's not a hater, he's telling you to follow the rules. Three threads is just obnoxious.
And considering that you didn't give information about what rom you're running, we don't know what themes are compatible. People don't answer if you don't give enough information. If you're running Sense, try the Evo Themes and Apps section. If you're on AOSP, there's a ton in the Android Themes section. You have to pick something that is compatible with your rom.

1) If you were really trying to "get good themes", you should've looked for them yourself. That's why there are sections filled with them.
2) Being "new to this" is not an excuse. There are plenty of people "new to this" that are perfectly capable of finding their own information and following the rules.
3) I have no issues with "noobs", and I don't mind answering questions for people who are just getting started with a rooted Evo.
My issues lie with those that feel they're entitled and everything should be handed to them, or that the rules don't apply to them.
4) They aren't my rules, they're the forum rules. You should've read them when you became a member. Here's a few that you need to keep in mind:
Rule #1: Search before posting.
Rule #3: Post only using a clear subject and message.
Rule #5: Post a message only once.
5) I'll try really hard to remember to not read your posts, as I know that they'll most likely be a request for someone else to search for you. Unfortunately I try to help people out while I'm browsing the forums, so I'm sure I'll come across your posts again. When you have a legitimate question because you couldn't be bothered to read about what you were doing, I'll be happy to keep the answer to myself.
6) Being more specific is a great idea. People can't help you if you don't give them information. And thanks for the compliment, I like to think that I'm smart and it's nice to hear it from someone else. My self-esteem thanks you.

MIUI Revolution

where did livewings MIUI Revolution thread go in the dev forum? does anybody know? i know that he got banned for slapping noobs, but i just read the thread earlier and now its gone.

+1
I also want to read.

well, i manage to bookmark his thread before. so this is the link but mod can edit/delete my post if suitable.

Please bring the thread back. Please. And Livewings too.
And since we don't have the thread I have to ask this here; Does anyone remember the recommended app for video recording? I need it badly.

It's not the thread the OP is talking about. But the last Livewings thread, the one in which he started insulting people, has been deleted.
Just my opinion, i've never seen so much drama on a dev forum. With lot's of dev whinning at each other with competion.
I thought android dev community and Galaxy Note users was a sort of big family. Seems i was wrong.

No this is the MIUI Livewings edition.
This was closed and MIUI revolutions was started, which eventually has been deleted.

Agree completely. This is breach of trust, what happens to all those who flashed their ROM trusting XDA that the info would be there? Deleting is too big a decision, if found violating rules, the that particular post could have been deleted and thread be locked, but deleting the entire thread?

I very much doubt that the thread can be restored if it is really deleted (and it appears that it is).
If anyone needs clarification as to what/why that happened, you could perhaps ask here:
From the Users to the Mods & Admins

What did he wrote that insult people? If he insult people from beeing noob then I understand moderator, there are loots of noobs here, some of them might become a dev someday. If you start to insult people from beeing noob, then the interest for xda will collaps.

Hi guys,

Hi guys, I'm Livewings here.
Here is my official response.
To all my users, I appreciate your support.
Please tell the mods to wake up their idea and remind themselves
why are we here at XDA to pursue development of one's phone.
I apologise for slapping noobs but this has way gone too far.
Peace out.

Mods you made a great mistake banning LW and above all deleting his thread. Absurd. Please LW keep on with your fantastic job and tell us Please how to follow you in these days. I would like to go on with your roms but we need support thanks

Agreeed that the mods had to take some action. But deleting the thread and banning the user is no solutiom to a problem at hand. All posts can be deleted instead that exhibit such behavior.
Just saying that there are better steps to take when things go south.

It looks like a few idiots ruined it for us because they were disrespectful despite several warnings from the moderator.
I was all set to flash the rom when I got home last night too, its such a shame that a small minority ruin it for the majority of people who were looking forward to try the rom.

Why close a whole thread?? Just ban the idiots... problem solved.

That's right, because of some idiots the thread was closed . I downloaded v6 yesterday and works just fine.

Anyone have link for slim version?

Actually one of hes followers asking if there's gonna be a stock themed, since he thinks the red themed is not good enough for him. and the OP reply about this guy saying something that offend him , and then the flaming start when one of hes team member start attacking the guy who thinks that the red theme wasnt good enough for him. and the Mod step up.
"Rixsta"
Please think before you post, this type of behaviour flaming other users and developers cannot continue, it really isn't fair on the community.
This thread has been cleaned four times in a small period of time and constant xda rule breaking will not be tolerated.

Wasn't he saying it was garbage...?! That's something else than not good enough for me (which is a nicer way to say).
Edit:
Personally I would suggest, never ever call something garbage, junk, sh*t or whatever in every single thread here on xda (if you are not the creator of it). If somebody does, report the post which would result in a warning or ban. Same applies for demands in threads (fix this, do that etc). This would make xda more friendly I suppose...just my 2 ct

Then again, as said before, why closing the whole thread and not banning the persons who make a mess of it ?? Now we all suffer, and I believe Friedrich and his team the most. They put so much time in it without getting respect etc. for it. Please mods, re-open the thread and ban the person(s) who doesn't respect the forum rules, and let the devs do what they love to do !!!!
