I thought maybe it was just the Vibrant section.. but the other phones I look over seem pretty slow also.
regarding the Vibrant, what gives? Why so slow on here?
The easy answer is people have moved on to new phones (and a lot have), but there are way too many Vibrants out there for XDA to be THIS slow. Are there no more questions that need to be answered? Everyone working on the GB Source?

I don't think that there are no more questions to be answered, it's just that 99% of them already have been if people would be smart enough to search. If you look at development threads, pretty much all of them have the same questions in it and when a new thread is posted, the questions in that thread are the ones that have been previously answered.
Then there are those idiots that complain about a rom being horribly laggy (reflash fix) or having horrible battery life while the rom has only been out for less than a day.
I don't want to see dev's leaving but I can certainly see why they would be going away, xda is full of idiots and trolls.
yeah, I know what you mean... I don't know that I would say it so harshly... but it seems like the Q&A and General sections have nothing new to offer lately... work is surprisingly slow today and I was hoping XDA would fill this void... it hasn't.

Yup, I think the previous people said it best. At this point, the Devs et al have really got this phone running sooo good there are not alot of issues to cry about. That, and the pending new phones that are beginning to get released, as well as, the tablets got people less focused on the Vibrant and some of the other phones that are 10 months old.
I got a color nook for my daughter and it is a blast to flash and mod, So alot of my flashing urge is satisfied with that.
I think alot of us are just waiting until June when the new S2 comes out, Then there will be this HUGE swell of interest again. But until that time, the vibrant and Galaxy phones are such a great phone to have it really is hard to complain.
I do agree alot of the kids/trolls have been griping more as of late, but I think that is because we have all been more silent. All in All, Love this Forum and all the people who contribute to it.

I've come dangerously close multiple times on picking up a Nook Color, is it a viable tablet on CM7?
I've been splitting my time between here and Team Whiskey forums....i still love XDA but trolls aren't allowed in T.W. house ...i think when we get our TW ROM devs come back then we'll see some goodness back in the Vibrant forums...until then we're getting over-ran with ROM ports and themes.
I really dislike the idea of each "team" having their own site...
It's great for them... but it really hurts the "community!"
All of us could spend time navigating each of their site, and creating logins for each one... but it's just so nice to have EVERYTHING in one space.
And those who do branch off, always seem to come back anyway.

True, but i think the teams go to their own homes b/c of the a**ho*es that do nothing but talk crap about their work without giving thanks...devs at are at their own forums can moderate can control the content themselves as they see fit....when this "Recognized Developer" thing (that XDA Admins have been working on) starts, then devs can control their releasing threads and keep trolling and unnecessary complaining to a minimum...s15 is right, everything should be all in one place...this is XDA, where all smartphone knowledge and MODs originate and come together
Just my opinion...

I think everyone knows I respect your work a LOT. I know whats going on around XDA, but not so much behind the scenes. Can you help explain why it seems like a necessity?
Maybe if I understood that part of it better.
Is it really boiling down to spam in the threads/dumb comments?

It really is frustrating a lot.
Most of the time, haters will refuse to register on your site so that's automatically a filter on it's own. Next you have complete power to do anything & everything with your site.
I really wish everyone could stay on XDA but it seems like the amount of dumb we get is increasing daily and it's like there's no way out of it.
Also, people tend to think you're a lot more "professional" if you have a site.
^ you da man. Makes sense, completely understand coming from your perspective.
The reason for the increase in "undesirables" is just in the numbers. The more android catches on the more total people are going to visit xda. That's includes all types. From the seasoned developer looking to learn about android to the person that knows nothing but wants to learn to the person that, no matter what, will not search out even the simplest answer to the out and out troll.
Its just that odds are we hear the most from the latter two as the first two are more apt to search for their answer and ask questions when they truly can't find the answer.
I'm no genius with this stuff but I will at least take the time to learn what the stuff I'm doing to my phone is and how to undo it or fix it if needed. There are more and more people that don't our won't.

here is a question to if you don't mind
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039152
a response awaits.
=)
ya I agree its been quiet here for the last few weeks. I running bi-winning and haven't found the need to switch. I'm thinking about picking up a Hd2 just to tinker with it. I'm having flash withdraws also my wife won't let me play with her Mytouch4g.
Now that HTC made their announcement a couple of weeks ago, we have an actual ETA on the unlocked bootloader. That said, as we all know, it'll be a month or two before this goes into effect. I know that many people (myself included) jumped to the EVO 3D because of the spectacular dev support that the 4G received, hoping that the 3D would get similar support on even better hardware. I think there were many people disappointed in HTC regarding the bootloader and how long it took them to unlock it (and awesomely impressed with dev temp-root workarounds!), and I certainly wouldn't blame developers for jumping ship to another device due to impatience with HTC. Of course, if devs go, there will the people follow.
My question to the devs is that now that we're reaching the deadline of the 30 day exchange policy and with rumors of the Galaxy 2 II on the horizon, are you going to be sticking with the EVO3D or returning it to develop for another phone?
I ask not to call anyone out, but out of sheer curiosity and self-interest. As awesome as this phone is, I want to go with the phone that is going to get the most development, and I know I'm not alone in that regard.
Thanks for your time!
Personally I don't care. But you're going get flamed by some "Obese and Ugly" Super Nerd that has some kind of Napolean Complex and feels the need to tell you that this post is in the wrong section. He thinks he's doing XDA and the "interwebz" a service and also speculates daily that he's important on some grand level.
All that aside. Development for the EVO 3D is ****. It's over. Thanks to Stericson.
I've jumped ship. I'll never purchase another HTC phone, they can shove them up their ass, lock their bootloaders and masterbate on the code as it prints out from their ****** iMac and MacBook Pro's.
..sigh.

Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I don't think any devs have jumped ship, theirs just no reason to develop anything right now. The only thing we have right now is temp root and that has been developed into something far beyond what it started off as.And not to forget the all the skins, unrooted rosie mods, overclocking and everyone behind the scenes working on trying to crack the bootloader with the little there is to work with. For now the 3D is a great example of the saying- when life throws you lemons... And when one of the outstanding Devs here squeezes the juice out of the locked bootloader we will have us one fine lemonade stand.

I wouldn't at all (even though we really aren't have a "Dev" discussion right now), I hardly see how anyone can say "HE" killed dev for our device. I don't think the dev is dead at all, hell, he tried to keep all the BS and stupid questions out of the Dev section. I personally think that the fact there has been a min post count rule implemented across the dev forums speaks volumes to and shows that people do need to read and respect the a) section and b) OP when posting in a thread, well.... lets say posting HTC rants in a thread dedicated to our temp root solution.
"He" may have been a bit slow to reopen the thread (in our section) that he was basically forced to police because of morons that can't read or comprehend just what a dev thread is for, but that hardly constitutes making the "Dev being dead, over and out". Said morons and illiterates actually drove the dev's to IRC, away from the public forum where they started and hoped to collect ideas and garner more support from the masses on the development work.
I would like to hear a dev say "he" killed their work on this device... sounds like crazy talk to me from some impatient users.
I won't be jumping ship (speaking as veteran flash addict and avid Dev supporter), we'll have our perm root one way or another. I am just surprised to see people acting so butt hurt over what is going on, a month out of the gate.
Now that, is some sad shhhht to sigh about...
Oh, and... IBTL
I hope allot of the 4g devs do make a appearance, I personally think most of them are the best there is. I believe we picked up a bunch of hero guys too, there's a whole lot of exceptional talent in that group too. I think once we get full root, theres going to be some real awesume stuff pop up overnight in this forum,
I do have to say the ones that are here now are going a great job and putting out a lot of badass stuff considering all most of them have to work with is teamwin's temp root.
/.....
So many devs have been working really hard on unlocking and rooting this device. On the near horizon there will be so many awesome mods and roms and mods our heads will spin. It's been around 30 days since the device was released and there are ton's of people on board. Once the bootloader is open the floodgates will too. Just sit tight and wait. Good things to come.
You guys have to realize also there is a BIG difference between devs and chefs

I think that's pretty much where I'm at, just sitting tight. I found myself in the unfortunate spot of getting a 3D with a touchscreen issue, and I'm between doing a 30 day return or exchange. I think more than likely I'll end up keeping it (the thing is a beast), and it's good to know that there's other people sticking around
I think we should all jump ship and give up, after all that's why we're here, at xda developers. Also, this piece of junk unmatched phone had been out for a crazy long 37 days, what with no root... WTF. And that damn mod... Keeping morons with big mouths out of dev threads, what a douche, we should just let everyone say and do what they want in here. That way we could read more. I hope a mod closes this thread and bans the OP for a month, for fun (because this awesome development is... A question). Member since 08 ... Get some email addresses or follow them on Twitter, or pm them, or find them in webchat, that's how you talk to a dev.

Good point. I did generalize by saying "devs" but I definitely meant both. ROMs are one of the best reasons to root. Looking forward to getting some CM, kushdeck, and MIUI on this bad boy, not to mention the host of awesome Sense developers like Myn, Virus, and Ava. From most responses, it seems like we don't have too much to worry about. As far as CM and MIUI are concerned, if demand is high enough, there'll either be an official release or at the very least a port, since they're community projects.
ok, since we bombarded them over the source releases, I think in all decentcy we should return to say thanks. It's easy to picket and raise hell, so we should at least go clap our hands, they could of easily given us the big finger.
What is it i'm thanking them for again?

At first I read this and agreed 100%. Then as I gave it more thought I realized that would be like a teacher thanking their student for doing their homework or you thanking your mechanic for fixing your car...that's what they are supposed to do...legally required to do (lets not start that whole 'GPL wiggle room' meme again)...and they did it late.
I'm glad they did, I'm not sure if the facebook assault had anything to do with it, but I'm not sure they deserve a thank you for doing what they are required to do.

Apparently you don't know what 'Source' is...
This doesn't mean they have an update for you to download, it means that they released a copy of their kernel.
They only release the source because they are required too not because we asked them. If that was the case well you know the story.

Back down there sparky...I believe I phrased my reply to indicate that I was indeed on the fence with the idea. I'm not laboring over my decision but I want to give it thought. The kernel source is subject to the rules of the GPL. They paid nothing for it and only have to abide by the rules of the license. One of those rules is that the source code must be made available (within a certain amount of time? I keep hearing 30 days but I'm not so sure).
I guess I just used poor analogies. You don't thank someone for not robbing your house...do you?
That said, in the name of fairness (and human decency...towards a corporation that has already demonstrated a desire to screw us as much as we will allow?) I'm still considering my stance.

When I first read the post I didn't read all the words like I said. I missed the part about the source code.
People just aren't as appreciative as they used to be. Thats what I think mostly America has become. I do get enough thanks for what I do and thats why I keep doing it. I know people like it even though they don't always show it.
I actually talked to HTC this morning and the first words out of my mouth were that I love their phones and what they do.

That's pretty compelling...in the short run. In the long run I would hope that you are proven correct and it's certainly worth a shot. If they don't learn from this, well, we can always attack them again.
I think I just might give them a thanks. All of that positive PR would surely help convince them to do the same in the future.
Well I stopped by their Facebook to say thanks as soon as they posted it. I hit them up in a polite way every day asking for it, so I felt that I wanted to thank them for doing it in a timely matter. Other companies and phones take much longer. Now, if I still had my OG EVO, I would not have thanked them for releasing today. I mean when did the GB update for the OG EVO come out? And they are just releasing it today? This is my opinion, not that anyone asked for it.
OK guys listen well...
Remember this post?
Apparently not... as you all seem to keep acting like little kids.
I saw yet another locked thread when I logged on today.
As it stands I don't care who is or is not lying, who is or is not a troll, and or who is or is not right. I don't, I simply don't...
If you have issues with someone, just ignore them or stay away from their posts, twitter feeds or websites as the case may be. It would be so much better for us all that way.
Now I don't mind a bit of off topic discussion and threads, but all I am seeing lately is bashing, arguing and trolling.
Let me lay a little something on you... Nobody is owed anything. No Dev owes you ROMs, root, or anything else. Vice versa, no user owes a Dev anything for their work. (paid market apps excluded) The rooting community is a hobby based entity. We work on respect and a mutual love of the platform. Donations are voluntary but a good idea. (It makes Devs feel appreciated)
Another thing... Drama... It kills the community. It runs off users and Devs alike. It creates a hostile environment that no one wants to deal with. When a device looses Devs it can be a death nail to the further development for that device, and when we don't even have a perm root exploit, loosing top Devs is the worst scenario imaginable.
It is getting so bad that even I am getting aggravated, and I could stay calm even with someone punching me in the face...
It is so bad I am giving serious consideration to jumping ship to the Nexus... An (in my opinion) inferior device to the Rezound, just to get away from most of the drama.
Come on people, get your f***ing acts together, and your heads out of your a**es.
Sorry if I come off as a jerk, but something needs to be said/done about all this.

There's always going to be drama no matter what you do and what you say. As much as we would like everyone to grow the F up, that's just not going to happen.

Sure you can jump ship and go to the Nexus, but I'm pretty damn positive there will be drama there too. Best thing you can do is just ignore the ****, nothing you say or do is going to change what's happening on this forum.

Agreed, but there's plenty of threads already, no need for more (and by now pretty much all the comparisons have been made and all one needs to do is read). Especially when they're just for the drama, and there have certainly been those here.

I understand how you feel man. It's just that some people think they're entitled to everything and they want it now. If they don't get it right away then they start having hissy fits. They think they're big and bad and on the top of the world sitting behind their keyboards. Just makes me wonder how they make it through daily life. Best thing really is just to ignore them, don't feed the trolls and eventually they will go away. Sure they'll continue to post and hope to bait a person into a response, but if everyone keeps at it they'll go elsewhere.

I think once s-off is achieved things will calm down and the trolls will find somewhere else to bother people. That's how it was with the EVO 3D forum.

I was thinking of doing the same thing as the OP, jumping ship to the Nexus. But then I remembered, wait a minute self, the Nexus sucks.

LOL, yea that cracks me up everytime I see it (and hardly seems necessary).
The Rezound may not have the worlds best camera, but it's not half bad for a camera phone....

Hehehe, I had been thinking the same thing seeing his/her sig in other threads. Not to go OT, but the camera on this phone is soooo much better than my last htc phone. It's NOT a DSLR, but it certainly does a hella good job on image quality for a phone camera. I'm not conplaining..lol .
As for the trolls...bashers...dramateers.. and those well known HUTA's (Head Up Their A**es) ... It will never end. They love fuel, and all people like you and me do is refill the tank. Sure, there were much better times when everything was nicer and most of the posts were filled with posituve and/or constructive feedback. This is the same way all over the internet. But there is no sense in blowing up and attacking those who cause the trouble because it does absolutely no goid at all. I know... I've done this myself and it gets me nowhere. The best thing you can do is to always try and encourage positive feedback. Not everyone will like every commend, post or idea... Not everyone will agree on one thing. Best things to not be doing is bragging too much about something or attacking and/or making fun of something someonevow.s...eg.. like their phone.. or hating on something they said. Im no mod in here, but it's just straight out common sense. Some people just wantvto get a rise out of others and those others just can't resist torpedoing that trolls sorry arse with some smarta** comment to get them going even mote.... Admit it, many of us have done it. Some things will never change... And this, is one of them. Thats what mods are for. But everyone here can make their life a little easier by not contributing to the source... / .... Fuel .
Pro-tip: You don't need to read drama filled threads. You don't need to read any thread actually. You have the choice to come to the forum, check for any thread titles indicating root has been achieved, and if you don't see them then either go away, or read only threads that have titles which interest you. Plain and simple.
I don't know why everyone on the internet feels that every single god damn thread in every forum MUST adhere to their own views of how threads should progress. If people want to *****/troll/libel/lie/cry/etc., then who are you to tell them not to? If you don't like it, DON'T READ IT!!! Plus, it's a PHONE. How do you not have anything else in your life going on that makes forums on phones completely irritate you to the point where you feel the need to tell people to not express their opinion? I'm assuming you're a Marine, which means you have probably sacrificed your life at some point to give US citizens the right to ***** and moan to their hearts desire. But that doesn't give you the right to tell people how to act.

I've shared this same idea before, about people just not reading it and keeping it moving. But I do know sometimes you just can't help it.

LOL-I'm not complaining either.
I am a pro-photographer & own four Canon DSLR's which are awesome, but the Rezound camera certainly comes in handy when it's all I have with me.
To put in your sig that it's crappy just seems kinda stupid to me, it's better than 99% of the other camera phones......

Great opinion there, you think it's stupid but I've used the epic touch camera and im bitter after being spoiled. Kinda stupid to not see someone has a different experience. Sorry my signature seems to be getting under your skin with your rezound pride.

MOD EDIT: BOUNTY WAS ACHIEVED AND DEVICE WAS PURCHASED
Here it is folks, the much requested bounty thread to get an amaze for Mr NRGZ28. "Who is that?" you ask, "and why should I care?" you add to your original question, causing this uncomfortably complicated sentence. Well I'm semi glad you asked! He's a totally stand up dude who sometimes also likes to sit, who has been devving for like, ever. I heard he started out on the telettrofono (look it up), and is known accross the west coast as the Rom whisperer (true story). He's currently running a sensation and making it live up to its name, but we'd like him to move up to an Amaze and work his magic. So we're chipping in to help. Here's his profie
NRGZ28
so you can stalk him. There you'll see super handy donate to me link which is like the best way possible to donate to him. So lets get going!
*IMPORTANT*
Make sure you add a note saying "for the amaze" to the donation, so he can keep track. I'll keep the thread updated with running totals when he gives them to me.
Disclaimers
So giving your money to a dev is like totally giving money away. Its gone. We hope it'll result in an amaze which will then result in awesome roms for the amaze, but no guarantees.
ok i'll start
Confirmation number: 0DR47233GX398405L.

Very well done. I hope to see some of his good work in here.
I won't be giving any money. He never offers ANY type of support. People ask for help with his ROMs but he never replies. There are better Devs if you want to give your money to someone.
Harsh.. I'm sure I'll get flamed.. But check his ROM thread out..

.. or you could look at a thread where he has the phone and is actively devving, and see all the loyal followers talking about how many phones he's improved for them, and how few people have problems anyway, and haveplenty of support from the dev and all the very experienced users in the thread.
but in any case the thread is for people to donate, peeps who are not interested can kindly spend time elsewhere
Would love to donate when i get money. A extra dev would be lovely right now, been following the energy ROMs for a long while. Anyone know if eVil still devs on HTC devices? used to see him back in the mytouch days and he was a great one.. havent seen him around since the mytouch 3g slide or 4g (i think)

That's not very nice... I don't support the ROM actively because I don't own an Amaze (obviously) and therefore I can't exactly troubleshoot problems with it. This is the reason bobbie started this thread. I support all my other threads quite a lot. But like he said.. if you don't like it, don't crap on someone else's party. It's just not nice.

That's mostly the case with chefs that only one device. Once the go to the Jesus phone, you never hear from them again. Myself, have been around for years and will continue to be around for more years to come.

Loved your work on my "retired" HD2...looking forward to what you will do on the Amaze!

Great Now we're up to $45 !
Here in about a week I get an upgrade from T-mo, so ill be getting an Amaze. I don't have cash to give but I offer my working hd2. If you want the hassle of selling it, you can make a few bucks. Just to clarify, this isn't an offer to sell it. Its an offer to give, with original box, and I'll even cover shipping.

Cool! great way to save a some moolah. The amaze is an awesome device, but the audience for it is really small right now, compared to a world phone like the sensation
