Wanted to thank xda for the awesome work......I'll donate in a few days....
I installed kaosfroyo 35.1 and tested it and all Is well except one minor problem with the gallery........when launched it loads everything just fine.......but if I rotate my phone I get the gallery but the images are white........only happens sometimes and if I rotate back sometimes it reloads the images as it should.......also if I'm viewing a image and rotate the phone.....the image becomes skewed ......I think I can change a setting to fix this but not sure which to change.........thanks to all again for all your work.....you guys rock......
Ciao

No harm asking those question in that ROM's thread either. That's kinda what it's there for.
and always remember,
read the FAQ in the thread first. there is a reason its there as it will help with any of the problems you are going to encounter.
also, another thing to help you is the search function for this site...and also the god site of the internet GOOGLE
Will do........
@ Eric.....I'm new to this rom stuff........do i have to flash the 2 d gallery......where is the link to the download.......

Jesus christ stop posting so many periods.
ASK IN THE KAOSFROYO TOPIC or even in the Questions and Answers area. In no way could this ever arguably belong in the developers area.

New entry for "POST OF THE YEAR"
I don't begrudge anyone asking questions but man the same ones over and over gets to be a little much. Funny thing is the poor guy (OP) didn't know I was making fun of his redundant post.

In his defense, from what I've seen in the Kaos thread they would have just mocked him and told him to search instead of ask questions. Whether his issue had been reported in the thread or not wouldn't matter.

Now I know you're going to call me paranoid....but I have been seeing a progressive shortening of battery life on my device as we progressively move into more advanced custom kernels created by our lovely devs
Anyone care to discuss?
** it has been pointed out to me we are still not this far along in kernels...still an interesting read
Should be in general not development
i only put it here because in "general" this would more directly impact "development", target audience and all.....i suppose they can move if they like, but just so you know, i did ponder that for a minute..

You know there's no "they". Only mod can move it.
You've just been Fascinated
they refers to the collective known as "the mods"
what the hell is going on around here anyways with the obsession with "posts being in the wrong place"....and by that i dont mean any disrespect, but thats why you have mods, to move to errant thread or two, why is it lately the only thing people want to respond with is, "you should have posted this in ______ section" instead of actually responding to the thread topic....????

honestly if its not a rom/mod release or a legitimate development discussion like "how to build kernels or roms" or something it doesnt belong here..that is all

I personally think if its a development related discussion it belongs here. Not to say this post has any direct relation to "current development" There doesn't have to be a zip or a side load or a script to be a development related post.
Maybe our development sections (for all devices) should have restricted access to post unless the mods deem the memeber a developer. Read/write and read only type scenario. :-/

A lot of people seem to care because as we mostly come to this forum to check the latest in rom and kernel development. With so much happening right now with updates coming here is like reading the news headlines. This post where it is, is well more like spam. Also because the battery life issue has been discussed many many times across the board and solutions given have worked for most. also need [] containing the tag of the thread.

fair enough...threads like this without specific aims toward developing/improving our phone just clutter this subforum that frankly the vast majority of poeple come to for roms/kernels/mods..
if this is a linux/android specific discussion then the general android development forum or something...because i dont think this relates to anything that will specifically do anything for our phones

I don't own a tbolt but seems to be a lot of talk on the 4g not playing to nice. Think it was acting like wifi when it couldn't get a good 4g connection, trying, failing, reverting to 3g, then repeating. Again don't have one so just repeating what others have said, i'm sure theres lots on the sit in the tbolt forum. Whatever the exact issue is, its most likely centered on the lte radio.
Nice article. Relates directly to the biggest issue of all android devices. Good performance = bad battery. This helps clarify that. KEEP IN ANDROID [email protected]!

Maybe there needs to be a separate section for "Releases" then if this article honestly really ruined you visit like Spam. Where do people discuss development issues if not in the development section? This section like you pointed out is where everyone comes to get the latest rom or kernel. Seems to me that warrants its own Release section.....oh wait....that's why the mods asked those types of threads to be titled specifically in a format that makes that obvious. Then the discussion threads could co-exist in the same section without being considered "Spam"

It is a good article and it is development related. Just because its not a rom, kernel zip, script, apk or system dump doesn't disqualify it from the development forum.
(Though android general may have been a better option as stated previously.)

yeah if there was a "development discussion" section that would be best....as if all the articles available out that could be posted like this to foster discussion ended up in here.......well it would really clutter stuff up
my own personal opinion (and its not worth anything) is that the development section is best served as a release...and discussion of said release...section...i mean thats what 95% of us treat it as...and have been accustomed to having it as such

It astonishes me to see you have such a massive ego and mock someone else when you yourself have just proved you can't do something as simple as follow a forum structure or even use the search.
Did it occur to you that maybe if Revolutionary worked on HBOOT 1.5, that the thread concerning HBOOT 1.5 might actually say this? Or instead, you could have just gone straight to http://revolutionary.io/ and seen for yourself? It's kind of strange that you would say that "these kinds of questions never get answered in Q&A", because I decided to visit that section, and guess what the first thread I saw was? This. And you know what I see on the first page (aside from the usual flaming because people like you don't wan to take the time to search?) I see this post:

Is that not enough of an answer for you? Were you expected a tailor-made response from ARX? Guess what; the world doesn't revolve around you or that phone. When they figure it out, if they figure it out, you will know right away. If that's not enough, I can use the search function (something that someone who is not a "noob" should know about), and show you several more threads were there's the same question and the same answer.
It's not really anyone else's problem if you can't A) Read, B) accept that the answer is just "not yet" or C) use the search function. So calm down with the ego a bit, eh?
I don't think I've seen anyone stupid enough to admit they posted in the wrong area without even bothering to search, but still have the gall to mock someone else who's telling you otherwise. This is what's killing XDA. It's one thing to help out new people and do it politely, it's another to help out an egotistical jackass who admits he broke the very (VERY) simple rules of forum structure and didn't both to even search for it. In fact, it took me way longer to type this out than to use the search function. Which you could have done instead of making this thread.
You take first prize for that in the douchebag awards, though. Congrats.
^really, amen.
how many freaking threads are there about this. that was my one line post on the previous page.
i just find it hilarious, that when you were making this thread, as you started to type in "HBOOT 1.5" it was impossible for you to not see the 5 other threads that are automatically displayed to help you see there is no need to make another thread about HBOOT 1.5.
admittedly, my response was short and ill mannered, but the bottom line is i was just having a bit of fun with you for the reason outlined above. i dont really hate you, that would be ridiculous.
Not related to Dev.
Use the search.
I know there are a lot of talented and knowledgeable people in this forum. Won't somebody please make a better app than TapaTalk? The search function in this app is awful. Search a subject and the every post where the subject is somewhere hidden, comes up. Why did I pay for an app that I have to resort to Google's search engine to do a better job than the app for it's supported forums?
Surely some talented dev, wants to make some serious money?? How often do they update this app anyway?? How many of you guys and gals, do this for free and are constantly working on improving and updating your work?
This app is prime for a take down! The best thing about this app is that makes the forum easier to read on mobile devices. Heck, small businesses get local developers to make a site that will work on smaller screens?
How many thousands of people use this app? I personally don't know anything about the technical side. I do have a good ear for business and I'm hearing ching, ching.

You guys are so tough. I thought I was posting in the right section. I was not asking a question, expecting an answer. My intention was to get the attention of people who are experienced app developers. This was directed for someone who is scratching their head wondering, how can I make some serious money, Koush style!
I was sure, I wouldn't be the only one who felt the same about TapaTalk. That app practically has a monopoly of these forums. Having other people either support or disagree, might give developers an idea, if it's worth their time. I thought the Q & A, was for helping out or asking questions.
I was doing neither. I was stating a need in a question format to engage a developer to think of the possibilities. Quite frankly, I think the your threat of banning is harsh. (Sigh!) You might ban me yet!

You are in the wrong place. Developers here are not here to make money. They are here because they love what they do. Second tapatalk is not a bad app. I use forum runner myself. An app doest need to keep being updated. If it works then why update it?
Yes we are tough. This is the worlds leading DEVELOPMENT forum. Not the user forum alot of people think it is.
Awww...Justifi, you are only allowed to break the rules if you are regular or a mod. You should read the fine print on the back of the 3rd page on the rules. Everyone knows that developers that do all they can to break code and contact rules abide by the rules they make with a 2 strike your out mentality.
It's ok...next time you waiver they will fluff themselves up and give you an infraction, he might even explain why in a non robotic voice.

Zelendel, you have been around for a while..so we both know there are a lot of great minds at work on here ..
not driven by any dallor value..Not debateable..
But the facts of this thread is to open debate that maybe' just maybe...
the main mobile forum readers used at present are not as good as they are cracked to be.
tapatalk and even the xda website search functions are not well designed..
They both lead to complancy by posters both mobile and online..
And there is room for improvement..
If this comes from a $$$ driven developer then so be it.. if he had restated it as a bounty..(monetary incentive) I am sure you wouldn't take offence to this
Back to topic, As an example of a good search function on a forum site is on
Hotcopper.com.au,
its a stock site but the accuracy and narrow searches allowed make it a breeze to find current and past posts on topic, stocks, or posters
This should be compared to what is available on xda to see if there could be improvements made..
Also xda could ask the tapatalk developers ever so nicely to look into beefing up their search function..
As you have suggested one to use, I should have a look at it..
I like the mikmik forum reader but as its just linked into theirs at the moment I don't know if they bigger plans for it..

The same place we were when it was mostly developers on this site. Remember that XDA has been around long before most users even knew what a smartphone was.
As for the bounty. XDA doesnt like bounty threads.
Check my Sig "noobs best friend" for a search plug in for FF or IE browsers.
As for my comment about being here for the money. This is one of the biggest problems as of late. XDA was made to share info and to help others to learn to do things on their own. As of late too many people are trying to make money using XDA. This is not what we are here for nor is it allowed.
There are plenty of how tos floating around and if the current Forum apps dont do what you want then by all means dig in and learn and make one up. Not only will it be a great learning tool. But you may find that it is fun and become a famous developer. This is what we are here for.

I don't think there is anything wrong with making money from what you love to do. Most people strive for that. I wasn't suggesting that someone open up shop in XDA. We all have to learn from somewhere.

I gotta admit z, if I only read up to your first post, I would have had a whole different take on your comments then from this last post.
I have been trying make my own themes, mods and even write some apps. As a n00b to those areas, it is hard to find information at times, and this site *does* help with that. However, I would consider myself not a developer - far from it, but rather just a user. So this site *is* for users too, as they use what others have posted to possibly become devs/themers themselves someday. This site can really be a sort of school for those interested.
So I'm glad you clarified the earlier remark.

Yeah I can seem to come across a bit harsh at times. I dont mean to be. IT is just soo many people come to XDA wanting to be spoon fed and that is not what we are here for. We are here to help people learn and to become developers themselfs. That is what a developers site is. A great place to learn.
So again sorry if I seem a bit harsh at times.

For those that go deeper and deeper into things...XDA is great..
This age of computing so far has allowed a break away from the locked in
Software systems that we were forced into since really MS took over DOS with windows front ends
I won't even go into apple o/s speak..
Openware/shareware as the apps market now could be termed allows for us the end users direct input
With the developers to push for better products..thus XDA is the medium that brings the two together..
Like it or not at the moment its the worlds premier focal point for this..
So I understand how the purists must be shaking their heads..
Sad but true a lot of talented developers are going back underground, to less known parts of the web to cook
So then it leaves XDA holding the front so to speak..
Its all good and a big thanks to the mods for keeping it semi under control..
Its a jungle out there...

I agree with all of your most recent post. Now that, I've cooled off a bit :thumbup:. It's also known that techies as whole are not famous for great people skills. This forum is and should be a great place to learn. For the sake of encouraging more people to try to become developers or better developers, XDA could practice a "firm" tolerance. The default attitude should be to guide people to where they need to be, without flaming or threats of banishment right out the gate. IMO, it doesn't feel like that. To make mistakes is part of the learning process.

Ya, maybe a bad question from the lack of response. The amaze forum is an odd one for sure. Was just wondering. I saw his threads are closed.

I'm wondering the same thing man.
If you read through his threads it is discussed briefly.

If you want to use his roms you'll have to go to his site....idk if I can post the link.

Most of the threads are one page long now. I gather from the one or two posts something went down between him and xda.

Some people are edgy about it because there is a cloud of uncertainty about whether you can discuss it or post the link to his forum without getting warned by a moderator. I'm on both forums and regardless of which one you're on, it's been agreed by all that it's for the best to leave the matter alone. Read through his post history here if you want to try piecing together the puzzle yourself.

I dont see anyone being *****y? i gave a straight answer, which is its NONE of our business. if you dont see him posting roms etc, assume hes not around. besides, its been all throughout the entire xda forum about his situation for weeks. if youre interested enough, the info is out there
Geez people. The major developer for the amaze packs up, yanks all his roms and pulls his threads and leaves and everyone is supposed to just pretend nothing happened? You can claim it's none of our business all you want but people certainly have the right to be curious and ask questions. Want to end all the questions and speculation? Then don't tell people to dredge the forum for clues. Deal with the question and put it to bed.
I agree and the users are the reason why these forums are alive and working so in a way we are the board members lolllll jk but ink why pda is having all these problems lately i guess a cleansing is what this site needs to be back at the top again

I googled xboarder56 and right there on the first page you can find where he is. Deal with the question and search yourself. 1st rule of xda in case you couldn't find that also
Their not gone. Google the name of the ROM u want and xboarder56 and I'm sure u will find it. The bottom line is mrmako is right. If you don't know, then it didn't concern you and was none of your biz to begin with. His work is still obtainable. XDA is not only site to find hacks and roms etc. Let's just leave it at that and if you can't find his ROMs then go back to stock. It's not xboarders responsibility to service anybody, nor is it any devs responsibility. They create work that they decide to share with us. That's where it ends. They don't even have to share. So use what you can find. Google usually has the answers.
I miss Binary. He would have had this thread closed and locked already for it is completely unproductive. Since Binary retired from xda this forum has been mad with duplicate threads, noob issues, and a lawless feel. Where is Whiskey to shut this down?
PS just because people have the right to be curious and ask doesn't mean people have the right to know. So exercise your right to be curious and keep wondering. But its not anybody's responsibility to inform the masses of anything. Anything else that you can't find is drama unrelated to development, and if you want a soap opera, you should watch USA Network, they know drama.

I knew where X had gone before he pulled out of XDA. It was no secret. That wasn't my point. I've been a member here for almost 2 years. Don't be so condescending.

This is the General section where questions are supposed to be asked and answered. Any thread that answers questions that many members have is productive. The only reason THIS thread is unproductive is the refusal to answer a question which is on MANY members' minds.

If that's what's on peoples minds, then they should get a new life. I know most of the story and personally its not that entertaining nor is it any of our business. If people want to know, then they can do the digging and be nosey on their own. It's nobodys place to restir a pot not worth stirring. It's counterproductive. Since you're such a tenured vet, you of all people should no better. Why does it matter where he is? If his work can be found elsewhere, what is the point of this thread. Threads like this are what started his move to begin with. Noobish ass questions with the answers right in front of peoples faces. Again, Law and Order is a personal favorite of mine, Criminal Intent and SVU.. if you want good drama, I recommended people start there
Not to mention this thread is 2 pages long, yet you are 1 out of 4 people who have showed interest in wondering where X is. The rest of the comments, the people already know or don't care. 4 people maybe consists on a lot to you, but I hardly would say the same

but this IS our point bro. the op didnt post a thread asking where x was or where he could find his work, he asked "what happened" as to imply "why" x was gone and not really IF he was gone. its kind of like when people get flamed for not searching first for answers to questions like "guys, how do i flash a rom?" or "amaze or s2?", except this is deeper and shouldnt be a topic to clog up our forum. the man left, hes not coming back, no need to continue to ask why or where he went.
on a side note marley, i DO understand your point, i just dont agree with it. i guess this is what happens when people have a $600 phone with little to no dev community LOL. lets just move forward and pray we get some new talent in here!

Maybe we can reach other devs from other phones, like CoreDroid, who are able to successfully port their work to our device. Like what NRGZ did. I think the main reasons for little to no development are: a) amaze is a US phone and not a world phone; and b) s=on. So if we can get this device in other devs hands, it may help. Like the Revolutionary donation we had going. Or I guess we can be happy with what we have and wait for nrgz 3.5 and xboarders ics.
