Paying developers in advance to join the community seems like a wrong way to me.
I'm not that long into the Android thing community but shouldn't a donation be more like a thank you for your great work?
If this becomes a thing I would prefer paying for professional programmers.
Like raising 1 or 2 thousand dollars and he makes a stable CM Version f.e. in 4 weeks. Like a fulltime job.
We have some great devs already...he's obviously welcome to join them but no one is gonna beg or pay him to join...I'm supprised the mods haven't closed this thread...you don't ask for donations before development even begins

I have contacted many developers for making some progress in bootloader unlocking. Most of them replayed that they are not interested in joining the old thread because of spamming....So I am requesting the administrators to provide one more thread which is locked to the developers working on the project (I mean only the developers working on this project must be allowed to post there)....The old thread can be used for contribution from other members...In case some new members have to be added to the main thread it can be done on the developers request... If possible please make some arrangement for our developers...
Doing like this may bring back our valued developers.....
Wrong section mate!
Dev's area huh! sounds a great idea!
+1
sounds like a really good idea
+1!!!
But I think that it is not the problem, if they are annoyed with the spam, they should make this on another place, create something like they make on google to share their roms and there is an area to post the bugs. I don´t know if there is a way to make it private, but I guess it can be done
It is vBulletin is capable of that and i guess there is a hidden here that can only be view exclusively.
Seeing the replay from many developers I was really sad and now I am not excepting our phone's bootloader to be unlocked in short time... ....Anyway thank you mates for supporting my idea
At last I got a positive replay from one of our great developer . . .
I'm sorry but your suggestion cannot be make, as far as i know only moderators have this power but you can try to pm to our User experience Svetius and see if he can help.
Moved to General.

it can, in kaskus forum, using vBulletin also, they have a subforum that only "VIP" member could access, and of course, moderators can also access it, but normal user, cannot, so i think its possible to be done. just need that recognized developer badge to access the new subforum

Yes...you are right....
Ohhh that, we have Recognized Developer private forum where only them (and mods) can see it and post inside.
OP request was a locked thread in dev forum for letting devs discuss and let normal member only to watch.........that's not possible, and btw every recognized developer does know of rec dev private forum.

Where talking about vBulletin here, even SMF have this feature. But your missing the point of af974.
"A locked thread in dev forum for letting devs discuss and let normal member only to watch.........that's not possible"
My idea was this...because it will let the developer to carry on with the project without any disturbance and will let others members like us to watch the progress...... Any way will have to stick to the options we have now.....
nothing
wrong post and thread

As a member of XDA and a fellow user and somewhat acquaintance of the S.I.X. ROM dev, I feel this is a necessary post. Frankie (the dev) put a lot of hard work into S.I.X. ROM and some individuals seemed to not like that he on his own was able to make one of, if not the first functional Android 8 ROM for the N6.
I'm ashamed to be part of the XDA community right now as a result of all this. I thought we were better than this...
The point of a community is to work together to make progress, not attack those who get somewhere first because you are jealous.
Very well said. After 8 years here, I'm still amazed at the childishness of some supposed "senior" members and "contributors." Pettiness is the death of innovation.
Unfortunately this happens quite often on XDA. The people who originally figure stuff out get pushed out by kangers who want to "see" the code, claiming open source and license rule violations.
It's the interwebs, that the way it is. Your going to get trolls no matter what the subject is or what forum (Sports, Android, Gaming, Politics etc) your visiting.
Some of you act like you've never seen a troll, get your head out of the sand..........JEEZ!!!
EDIT: A Mod should close this thread because it serves no purpose whatsoever
* * * TO SUPPORT YOUR FAV DEV, PLEASE READ * * *
The Xda community has well over 7 million members.
Just like families of 6 or 10 have crazy uncles and weird cousins, there is NO WAY to remove all the craziness from a 7 million member community.
So while certain Roms or specific development areas DO have trouble, animosity, jealousy, kanging, etc, it is by and large a SMALL percentage of the Xda community.
As far as this specific situation; this won't be the first dev to pull their work and it won't be the last. Facts are facts.
There is absolutely NO WAY to keep every dev of kernels, Roms, apps, mods, etc. from being offended by something, someone, somewhere during their time with Xda, most of the time it's legit, sometimes it's just petty (devs are people too)
With that being said, the Moderation staff, which are all volunteers (just like the devs) work daily to remove, and reduce those who cause trouble within Xda.
The absolute BEST thing EVERY member can do is REPORT trouble, trolls, problems, and NO ENGAGE them in the threads when they come to town.
A large amount of thread troubles occur when well intending regulars of the thread engage trolls and troublemakers, and suddenly there are 4 pages of insults, attacks, disrespect. What dev wants to deal with that when they do this for free and for fun?
The reasons devs pull their work can be vast and multi-tiered, and no one can control the outcome of that except the devs themselves.
The more GOOD members who maintain their composure and follow the rules by NOT engaging in off-topic, troll chasing, the easier it is to identify, and remove the troublemakers, and the less trouble threads will have overall.
If 6.9 million members don't feed the .1 million trolls, they'll stop trolling... No private community will EVER be free of trolls, it's impossible as sometimes good members go tot he troll side and there is NO WAY to stop that prior to it happening.
So to you good members who respect the devs and the Xda community, do your part and follow the rules, report the trolls don't feed them, and we can all offer those who dev and assist in threads, the best atmosphere possible (which will never be perfect) to share, develop and enjoy this thing we call Xda.
Unfortunately, threads like this, no matter how well intended, only invite MORE drama and add more fuel to the troll fire, so it is being closed.
Thank you for your cooperation
tl;dr Xda is a HUGE community. You good members work at being the best part of Xda by following the rules, and not feeding the trolls. Let the Moderation Staff handle the troublemakers. Continue to help your fav dev with bugs and show them respect, say thank you a lot (it's free) and throw them a bone once in a while.
This is a fairly large community with few Developers. It has great builders, and a great Dev (who unfortunately has very little time). Would be great benefit if the community had more active Developers.
MOD EDIT: Telegram link removed, read the STICKY!

Feel free to become a developer and contribute, you can learn from others and create great things :good:

Hi, an italian dev, lead developer of DescendantX is interested to buy Poco F2 Pro.
You can see his work here:
https://github.com/Dil3mm4
https://descendant.me/about/
He create a moneybox via PayPal were everyone can donate him what you want to help him to bring us one of the most interesting AOSP ROM with a different UI.
You can donate him here: MOD EDIT: Link Removed
Top! I hope he will buy F2 Pro! :laugh: :good:
This guy apparently works off other peoples sources, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.
I really hope we'll get some development. It's a good phone but i think k20 pro taken up all the peoples upgrades of phones last year... that's why Poco F2 Pro isn't more popular.
yeah nice but isn't he just creating a GSI ROM?
