I have gotten multiple requests from a few devs in the past week, including myn to delete links to their mirrors posted by users. Today, I had to delete a full thread about these. Stop posting links to said nighties. Devs will release the rom when it is ready to be called "beta". The reason they have not opened a new thread about this is because some people perceive the threads like this as "feelers" or with the sole purpose to draw donations, which is by no means the intention of the devs.
This is a final warning about this.
Right on man the devs work there ass off and are always working on something new and fixing problems sucks when people on here jack there links and post them all over here and then take credit for it Happy you did something about it.
It is crap that people feel the need to do things like that. Personally, I don't mess with "nightlies" unless it says AOSP. Stoked about Myn's next release though.
I agree 100%. Glad to see swift action from the XDA Admins / Mods.
Question - Should all links of the new ROMs be off limits, including changelogs and such? For instance, I noticed a link in the Warm 2.2 thread for the changelog for Myn's Synergy ROM.

Changelogs for this rom can also be found in infectedrom as well afaik. If the link to the changelog has any way to link back to a mirror or a link to obtain the rom, then I would say it should be off limits. Please link me to the post in question if you can (myn's 2.2 thread is only a gazillion pages long and I don't have all eternity to look for it )
ehh, I think the issues is people don't understand that these rom's are for the experienced user. The Synergy is not released publicly yet because their is a risk some idiot will bork, brick, ruin their phone. also if you want it so badly go to the irc channel that's your best bet for getting the latest and most proper version some user's could think they're fixing something and share it on the forum and next thing you know 20+ dead device's
/end input and rant.

great point man.
Although I agree with their general intentions, some developers have not been acknowledging or giving access to the nightly builds even for those who have donated. It's been almost a week since I donated to a developer and have yet to even get an acknowledgement, let alone access to any nighties, and I've seen posts from others who are in the same situation. I know donating does not automatically grant access to the nighties, but I think the developers should also be more forthcoming to those who donated to them.

My point exactly. You don't donate to a dev and get automatic access to nighties. You donate because you feel like giving someone something for their hard work and should expect nothing in return. If the dev so happens to grant access in lieu of donations so be it, all the better for you. However, if a dev did post something along the lines of "donators will receive access to nightly builds and early releases", then that is where we would have to step in, as that is considered selling "money for a good or service". Sorry but if you donated, you donated and that is the end of it.
is it ok if i give someone who i know has access to like the myn links, the V links?? cuz right now myns links are broken, but V's arent....... if not, i will stop.... just plz dont ban me

Im posting this here, because dont know were to put this.
I think we need more moderator here in the EVO 4G Forum area, because every single Development thread, you can only see people *****ing about the same thing that is already posted, PEOPLE here Don't READ even when your are installing something in your phone that can Break it. ( If you go to a Leak ROM thread, it is clear that you cannot install thoose type of ROMs, and people always are asking that they are having issues installing the ROM, LOL)
If you go to General you can see like 10 thread of the Same Thing, In the Evo 3d Area you can see like 8 topics of Release date, 4 of Root, etc, etc.
My opinion is that we need more moderators in the Forum, The XDA community everyday is becoming bigger, so you need to take that in mind.

There are 3 moderators assigned here, plus I am always around as well as other Senior Mods. This place has become somewhat chaotic as of lately, but we will control it to the best of our abilities.
Google is your best friend. That's all I gotta say. *Hint*
Ya alot of flame wars going on. Sad people were stealin links and posting the devs hard work and claming it theres. Glad the ADMIN stopped it.
If you've made it a rule to close threads involving the posting of links to nightlies at least somewhere on the site there could be link to the rom!
There is a link posted. Goto the Incredible section and get it there.

I'm a senior member of this forum. I'm 51 years old. I always used this forum for the several devices I own(ed) with great pleasure ever since I joined XDA.
This is the first time I start a thread because I need to say this!
My latest phone: the Moto G (2014), XT1068, is a great phone.
Unfortunately I can't say so about the XDA section here!
First of all there's very littlte development here. Understandable, because it's a relatively new device.
But now to my point: people here are starting threads for the most silly reasons and this morning I read a thread that almost made me leave this section and triggered me to make this thread.
I don't know what kind of people buy this device and then sign up for XDA, but I see a lot of 'unprofessional' posting. A lot of new people who obviously don't have any experience in flashing roms, kernels, recoveries, etc. Nor do they have much experience on this forum! A lot of people seem to have only signed up to know when a Lollipop update wil be there and how to get it! I'm afraid many people are just teenagers here...
I miss the threads with Orginal Developed roms, with questions and logcats to improve a rom. I miss Cyanogenmod, and all the other general roms...
Furthermore, I don't have anything against people of India. On the contrary, one of the best roms here is from an Indian: Pyr0_Bl4de with his Andro-X! But you Indians dominate the threads, not only here on XDA, but also on the Motorola Owners Forum with just asking for ETA's of Lollipop. Many people (and not only Indians) don't read and search first. They just post a question that has already been answered before.
I'm always willing to help, if I can. But somehow my patience has come to an end.
Possibly this thread wil be closed soon too. It doesn't directly contribute to the development here. But I wanted to have it said anyway.
Sorry in advance if I offended people!

"Praise Jah" YOU people..
I couldn't agree more and am probably going to sell my phone for these very reasons. Thank you for saying it out loud.
Agreed, had many phones in the past, never seen such a boring section as this, multiple threads closed down because of stupid lollipop questions, imagine how motorola must feel with the amount of owners asking about LP all the time, I want the update like most of us, but come on people, get some sleep, go out and enjoy the fresh air doing walking, sports or family things and get on with your lives.
In the process of waiting for a new phone to arrive, as much as I like the dual sim on this phone, redraws, memory problems, screen touch problems are starting to get too annoying and I think it's nearing the time to say goodbye to the moto g 2014, sadly., but I will not be loosing any sleep over it.

well said...you can always report such posts,threads to moderator and help them to keep xda clean...i know most of the time i also tend to loose a patience but still being senior member means you have to report posts, keep posting good stuff and help others...i know you already done well for this forum....i will work on cm 12 as soon as stock lollipop arrives for my xt1068.

To be honest, I did report several posts and threads. Most of them where closed after me complaining... But I'm always reluctant to say I reported, because I don't want to be flamed for it....
I'm not a senior member and I get a lot out of this section for our great phone, with advice and tips here I've improved it considerably from stock. I've also owned other devices and XDA is a great resource for those and will be for the Moto G 2014 in due course. Patience is the key, more development will come in time, although a couple of non stock kernels and at least one ROM are already here. Enough for me to be pleased about so far.
I don't pay to attention to the kind of threads you allude to, so am happy to ignore them, it takes all sorts to create an active forum, though gw's immature outburst earlier today was classic and earned him the temporary suspension deserved, we shouldn't let posters like that spoil XDA and derail the section. The thread title is usually enough for me to know if its worth opening.
I like this place.

Thank you for this post. Unfortunately I already used my 8 thanks today.
To be clear: I still like XDA! There are several very useful threads, and very good how to's! Maybe I have to learn how to ignore the 'bad' threads. Bus as they say here in Holland: sometimes I can't see the forest anymore because of all the trees...

If you thought that was bad, take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2942803
(Same OP)
The lack of any significant project work for the XT106x is easily accounted for -- an update to the next major revision is due OTA. No-one who is seriously considering working on this device is going to bother until then. And even then, it is best to wait for Motorola to publish the kernel sources.
I don't really understand the fuss about CM on the Moto G anyway. The stock environment is close enough to vanilla that I would be happy to apply Xposed (assuming it will eventually be rewritten for ART and the new framework), build a kernel with a few extra modules and useful patches, and then cook up a zip with half the gapps and motorola software removed... Job done.
It seems like 5.0 still has a few significant bugs to squash before Motorola are happy to roll it out. I'm glad they're taking a more cautious approach, rather than pandering to impatient and self-entitled kids.
I have been a member for nearly 10 years now, when XDA was a very small site dedicated to the XDA PDAs and phones back then. During this time I have seen the site grow into an extremely useful support and development forum for professionals and enthusiasts.
But now I am witnessing a slow decline in those people and a rapid increase in members who contribute nothing and complain when they don't get immediate help and don't thank you when you do give them that help. There are more and more vile trolls who stir up the community too. It's disheartening .
I am not a developer and I still see development as a black art which I would love to be a.part of. But over the years I have offered my help to those in need and spent many hours working through something technical in order to do that. Often as I said with no thanks.
I am not sure what we can do about the influx of those that spoil it for the rest of us. But I am not going to give up being a community spirited contributor to these forums and I hope you guys don't either.

For the most I totally agree with you! Still, for the past few years CM was my rom. So I was accustomed to it. It never ever crossed my mind when I bought this device, that there wouldn't be a CM for it... Call it naive, it probably is!
To make things clear: I'd prefer CM11 over stock lollipop! Even when this lollipop it's very vanilla and AOSP
Whatever, most likely there will be a CM12 in the (near?) future.
Guess I have to learn to be patient too...
@smitharro It is a sign of these times. People do not read. Do not give anything from each other. They think that it's okay to start hundredth thread on the same topic.
I'm on xda since 2008. My first phone call, because of which I set up an account here,is the HTC Wizard. I knew then that I was a noob, so I've read. I read everything possible,to not ask stupid questions, to find answers, to learn something.
People do not read and do not care about others.
Now I think that ignorance requires napalm and a bulldozer.
@rufflove i will always prefer cm over vanila aosp or stock mototrola....cm is way better than anything else out there...
and yes i am a member since 2008 ...and i used use my htc at & t 8525 hermes phone( ya that phone still working and i sometimes use it as my 3g modem).
That time xda used to be a site for windows mobile enthusiasts. (xda is name of windows mobile pda)
Now the members grown to enormous amount....
Still i think xda is the best site around to get help ...

Just simply keep watching otherwise we need to become Moderator xD.... Jokes Apart
Since my old was 5830i Galaxy Ace , i was happy with that forum it was because half of the forum was controlled by us ( RC's ) , no one was a big noob like don't know anything , even that person doesn't know anything but posting in right section helps him . In these forum when i came to see , my first observation was it is totally messed up with many new to ( ANDROID ) users get my point (ANdroid ) due to that , that members post anything what ever they think & just post .
To control these 1 . Take all over unread thread to be read and understood , then a genuine reply . ( it will take too long time not easy )
2. Or just simply reading there OP & hit report button .
3. Or just ignore them & simply watch .
I understood your thoughts , but what can we do 1 or 2 people against the whole bunch of million people so just time is a key wait for a while & we will be on track . Let they get little bit matured & understand what is XDA .
Thank You

Funny! My daughter owned a 5830i once. It came to CM 9 quite stable! Then she dropped it on a rock while riding a horse. The phone rests in peace...

I've given up waiting. At this point I can't imagine their month-old build is less buggy than the up to date CM12 nightlies anyways. So I'm just sticking with the nightlies getting pretty shameful battery live compared to 05Q. All I want is for them to release the new camera on the Play Store so we don't have to wait :'(
I didn't put much hope for oxygen os, waiting for 12S
Everyone knew this already, i'm not sure why its such a big surprise.
Oh well. CM12 nightlies is good enough for me that I don't mind putting up with some of the silly bugs.
They need to clean up their act and speed things up. I'm sticking with nightlies but would appreciate an official stable release.
It's very bad when company not doing there promise about 3 month i bought this phone because of good support and in time promise but for sorry they couldn't. I understand about small company etc but they should say 6 month or something else to be sure that they could. It's very bad. Almost everyone got lollipop except us i think i will sell my opo and will go back to Samsung
Well its better then nothing. Good to see mid-late March dead line. 1 month is not alot if final release is nice and stable
How has OxygenOS been delayed? There has never even been an announcement about a release date.
Honestly surprised people still care about OxygenOS. Why buy a phone that has the unlimited capibilities of being rooted and unlocking the bootloader if you won't do anything with it? Just install Slim and move on, it's not like Oxygen looks all that groundbreaking and spectacular.

What are the differences between Opensource Cyanogen and Closed? Just the features/apps? Are the blobs/kernel taken from closed source?
I'm not surprised by the delay. Plenty of serious CM12 issues that I would imagine are currently present in internal CM12S builds too.
The sad part of all this is that OnePlus / CM actually has a great track record of releases from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 all happened super fast. Clearly 5.0 is a much bigger release but I'd rather them spend the time to squash bugs than release a crappy ROM. If they did that I'm certain there would be a complaint thread about that as well...
Android Police is reporting mid-late March for the release of CM12s and OxygenOS, and that
"proprietary drivers, code, QA, [and] certifications" are responsible for the company missing its 90-day deadline to update the phone to Android 5.0.

I understand about small company etc but they should say 6 month or something else to be sure that they could. It's very bad. Almost everyone got lollipop except us i think i will sell my opo and will go back to Samsung

Clearly you have never tried other phone companies and you have no clue how things work. They delay cause they want the Os to be as stable as possible with all the features working. So they could release a beta or an alpha now but it would be buggy and not working correctly, then people start complaining again about it etc etc. Just wait or flash any other custom rom that is already lollipoped. There are a ton of options all stable enough for daily use and so many great developers that make great kernels roms for the Opo. Just saying you can freely go back to Samsung or any other company you used to and pay the overpriced same spec phones with even less official support.

The resemblance is uncanny.
I want to install oreo onto my note 3 but I do not know which rom to pick... I do want root though and stability and performance. Before when i tried to install android 7.1.2 rom i had a no sim card issue. Does this issue occur in android 8 roms ? And is there a way to fix it?
And where exactly do you see any oreo rom for the Note 3 ?

That ROM does not boot. It is best not to use it.
At the time of this writing, a working Android Oreo ROM does not exist for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (regardless of what variant it is). This question @spyroz540 asked seems very illogical, given the current circumstances.

This page is fake, lol
Samsung galaxy S4 modem gt-i9506 which have the same chipset as N3, does have Lineage 15.1 (Oreo)
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=239632
There are some roms such as RR which are compatible with both devices. Maybe someone can adapt this rom to N3.

the page is not fake, is UNOFFICIAL
lineageosroms.org is not a fake site, neither is that upload,
its just experimental builds that may or may not boot, major difference
so if you look for the first burps of any dev you may legitimately find it there, if its any good is case and device dependent
Aa, okay, okay.
Sorry my bad, i thought that since Galaxy S4 has Oreo already, that the Note 3 would also have it. I apologize.

Ok, I was running super v20, and all was good, then I was bored and saw A-O OREO was out and upgraded.
Is it possible to go back?
yes, they are both ARB 1 so you can flash back to super v20. Just don't flash to anything that is ARB 0.

I wanted to go back too. The update created a host of problems; Podcast playback failures. Messenger+ went completely wonky and failed sooo many times. Frozen screens during videos. Several Apps would crash on a regular basis.
I'm not very good on much more than the basics of how to do some of the things you genius contributors do (not a dig, I truly respect you), can do and advise us on, so I go to the support teams at the stores, finding the most geeky of the Tech Crew for help, and if necessary, I'll go to two stores (Verizon) ... and in both stores, neither tech guy could find a fix and noted the LG V20 was notably having issues with the update ... even after a full Factory Reset.
After spending close to 4 hours on the phone with Verizon's Tech Team, (I sat at my desk while doing other work so not a total loss of time), I was able to get an "additional" Verizon credit of $200 off the upgrade to the newest V40 ThinQ ... making my purchase price $449. In addition, there's little to no development on the V20 anymore as it's reached the end-of-life-cycle (... I hate how fast these phones are becoming end-of-life-cycle!) ... so I upgraded.
I'm not suggesting everyone spend the money to upgrade, but I really understand why they want to.

Well, new is only useful if its functional, and friendly. I think super v20 was pretty functional for me. Oreo didnt bring any awesome new features that i wanted or was waiting for.

If you were on oreo then you need to flash full nougat firmware to go back to nougat. Either kdz or a twrp flashable firmware depending on your variant.

The bolded bit i don't get. a FDR should reset everything back and you build like new. All app problems should go away unless they weren't compatible with Oreo which at this late date is unlikely.
Why downgrade, I am over the moon at having got Oreo in my VS995 especially as I got the Oct security patch almost immediately. Also surprised as I live in the UK and the update arrived OTA.
Only thing I have found is that there does not appear to be a way to enable the Fingerprint setting, although my fingerprint still works.
So you wouldn't upgrade again? Bc right now I'm exactly the same. Super satisfied with nougat and mk2000 kernel but actually I wanna give oreo a try. Was at least battery drain better on oreo?
