Is development dead for the photon???
Wanted to get everyone thoughts. I really like messing with my phones and really thought that this phone would be the titan of customization for sprint. I have been really disappointed!!!
I am thinking about switching to another phone if something doesn't happen quick...
People have familys and jobs. Stuffs coming just be patient.

Agreed... i'm tired of weeding through the junk threads.
Make us all the favor of getting a different phone. Also please do us all a favor and LEARN some forum ethic. You'll make yourself a better person and this place more enjoyable place.

Don't worry about what we think. We don't care what you do. Get another phone so we don't care have to hear about how disappointed you are. Or you could learn to build your own rom or do like me and learn to theme.

i personally think yall are going a bit overboard on this poor guy...
Eh......it's not dead. We're getting CM7, have an OC kernal, have a couple ROM's. But....if you want MORE
Try this.....

Edit....
But on second thought. I kinda like the phone the way it is, the lack of ten thousand of the same ROM with a different color for the theme is nice. If you REALLY need that, hit up the Evo 3D or the ET4G. Both will suit you PERFECTLY. And also will keep us from having a million of the same ROM's. BUT...if you WANT the Photon. The above link should tell you everything you need to know about building a ROM. And then you can make it ANYWAY you want, and don't have to rely on anyone else. Problem solved for everyone.
Some of you guys take this so personally... lol
I was simply asking a question if you don't like the question stop reading. The funny part is the same people that cried over this thread will comment again with more *****es and complaints. Relax
I would like to learn how to make roms but really don't have time... instead i donate to those making the roms. Those guys do a great job!

Sounds like you need a different phone. This same question has been asked a bunch of times already and the answer has been that the Photon will probably never be as dev rich as phones like the SGS2 and E3D. Most peeps with the Photon are ok with that but for the others that need to flash something new every day/week need to get another device.
The problem with these type of posts is they create more negativity for the Photon which is why some take it personally. We don't like our beloved device (or developers) put in a negative light.
I agree...its not necessary for anyone to be mean because someone ask a question. It is simple enough to go to the next thread. If NO ONE responds, the OP will get the message.
If he just wanted to ask he should had asked SIRI!!:

I expect development to pick up once we have a fully unlocked bootloader.
Its kind of pointless to develop a ROM when you can only flash p-ROMs right now.
Well if you use 4G you can only flash P-ROMs.

I really want to learn how to make roms and themes, I know I know, there are tons of tutorials and guides on how to do this. What I want to do is be someones apprentice. I learn really quick and have been repairing computers and troubleshooting them for about 10 years. My only problem is that I don't know coding. Just want someone to teach me the ropes. I know a lot of you devs are busy because of CM7 but I can learn really fast! Hopefully someone can help me!

My quote is just that, a quote. The fact that 2 of you are getting butthurt about it shows how mature YOU are. It's just a quote, it means nothing and if people aren't grown up enough to understand that then they have no place on the internet. All I was asking for was help so I could learn how to cook my own Rom. Then next thing you know, here comes some people talking smack and showing how much of an ass they can be. It's just a quote, it's not my philosophy on life or anything so calm down. If anyone is acting like a child, maybe you guys should go back and read your posts. I simply posted a question and got replies about how my signature is the reason no one would help me. It's fine though, whatever.

First off, thank you for serving our country!
I can understand both sides of this argument. You defend our rights, including freedom of speech. It is just a quote, but when you have as large an audience as the net provides, you need to watch what you say and do. Even tho quotes like that are fine when you are with your friends, all it takes is one person to be offended and your done. Arguing isn't going to help, they have the right to their opinions too, you defend them as well.
Sometimes you just need to smile, say "you're right, I'm sorry", remove the offending item and carry on (it's how I've stayed married for as long as I have ).
Be nice to the Guy, he is asking some honest questions. I remembered when I was interested in starting out 2 years ago. OP you can pm me if you need any help

Why don't you just use the easy-dev script hicks? Takes around an hour to compile the latest cm6.
No idea what that is, where to download it, or how to use it lol.
So you don't know what it is, but you know you don't know how to use it.

I have no experience, but i'd like to learn how to make my own custom rom.
Does anyone know what i'd need for a Thunderbolt GB rom?
I've looked into it and read about Kitchens and how you need them, but don't fully understand.
I'd like to know if the community could help me out here.
I could google it and I have, but I don't get any results that are specifically for the Thunderbolt.
Please go easy on me. :/
I can't answer your question so I apologize for taking a spot in your thread but I don't see any reason people would be rude/harsh towards you especially considering you posted in the proper section! Good luck and hope to see a ROM from you someday!

the phone model does not matter really and you wont find anything specific for the thunderbolt.
Install Linux right off the bat... Dealing with Windows and using environments are a PIA.
Download apktool, kitchen, gimp, and your base ROM whether it be the GB leak or MR2. Read up on how the system works, various editing techniques, and suck up all the info possible. It really is a learning process, not really something someone can tell you how to do.
That's what I did/do to learn.

Ya, I remember back in my days in school when these people were in computer classes with me saying how cool it was to learn to program.
Half of them, while very bright, lacked a certain "ability" to grasp programming, shall we say.
As title says did i miss something?? Is it all the noob questions? or the constant same question asking or maybe Devs stepping it up a notch in competition between themselves I just remember the old eris days not being like this

Yes this is the reason, devs are starting to resent each other because noobs are doing what they always have. Genius.
Devs love to dev. If they don't do it here, you can find them by doing a little searching. The problem is like any work place, organization, etc.....basically anywhere people are involved with other people everything gets ****ing political.

troll attempt is pathetic...
its great the devs want to leave because they are open to make their own rules. they are mad that admins arent doing their job and getting pissed off and packing their bags. now, they are making their own sites and are going to tear noobs a new one every time something is asked. so therefore, the users are going to leave.
nothing will last without users, these developers do great work but when users leave so do donations and people willing to try their roms out.
Maybe the famous enough that they don't need xda anymore lol, who knows man you will get some either way, developers come and go, life changes all the time, you notice more if your a flashaholic like I used to be I got tired of flashing more then on ROM at day so I enjoy life more and actually use my phone more often pics look great on this phone BTW

You act like the developers need users, when it fact, it's the other way around lol. Developers first and foremost develop for themselves and then later share what they made with the world. No Rom developer is getting rich off this, it's a hobby.
There's a reason you dont see developers asking where the users are, but you see plenty of threads from users asking that question.
Users will go where the developers are or they wont get their work.
Devs are probably sick of all the useless comments people post that are useless. The flaming and so on...

What's up with you giving everyone crap for making a thread. Ya, some threads I'm sure xda could live without but atleast this person and the other that you were giving a hard time posted this in the general section and not the development. Calm down and let the mods do there job. If they think this is a waste than they'll close it but I see no problem with it.

I'm sure you can but that's the problem with xda lately. A lot of people are more worried about bashing each other or policing forums then they are helping one another. Don't get me wrong, there is things that shouldn't be posted and there are threads that shouldn't be started but guess what, that's not my job to say what's good and what isn't. When I first came to xda it was such a great place to learn and I had so many people that helped me and if it weren't for them I wouldn't know half of what I know now. Not saying I know alot but now days I can't imagine coming here and being new and asking a question. Ok. I'm done. Usually don't get into stuff like this but I used to love xda and I've learned so much from this place and I use to really enjoy hanging out here but things have just fallen apart.

Even when I joined back in March **** wasn't this way. The EVO 4G forums were so ridiculously cool and laid back there. That's why I joined, I wanted an easygoing community. Sad to see XDA shaping up to be the way it is... the drama between Virus and JoelZ9614 in the EVO 4G forums today was insane...
It got ugly between them, and yup EVO forums back In the day were awesome any question you asked was nicely awnsered and wasnt thrown back at you calling you an idiot or some other harsh word that are beign used today. It wansnt till I got in the EVO 3D forums were I saw a bunch of B.S that was childish to begin with. XDA has changed for the worst.
