I am so happy to see this thread!!! Thank you so much Danny!!!!
This just made my day!!!! Now I can thank everyone for everything....
Just because we have a thank button.... doesn't mean we actually have
one.... because you can only thank 8 times..... Which sucks....
Because I thank people for saying smart things, for helping me, for
understanding where I come from, for discovering important things, ect...
Now I can properly thank all mods and developers of this site.... the proper way.....
Starting with you Danny.... for going ahead and creating this thread.....
---------- Post added at 03:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 AM ----------
I would like to thank all of you guys.... But here are a few people I want to specifically thank.... (No specific order)
1. Hasoon2000:
Your AIO Root Kit has saved me such time and headaches. A truly useful program! You are awesome!
2. NRGz28:
Your name reminds me of Camaros. But the reason why I thank you is quite obvious. Your Energy Rom has helped me a lot. My battery life is amazing and this is the only rom I have ever used that saves my battery life so much. Thank you!
3. GlacierGuy:
You have helped me so much, your useful links and advice has guided me through a lot of crap. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You're welcome.

Awesome idea! Thanks @ PeartFan40 for this!
Lets see- first, thanks to the many people who act as contributors, giving answers rather than say "search!" - even when it has been given 20million times. Everyone who does this makes it MUCH easier to find threads that have an answer RATHER than 20million threads that say SEARCH. You have no idea how much time you save, and the patience/understanding you show by doing it is what makes this community awesome!
More officially-
Some other Devs/others who have been infinitely helpful whether they know it or not(some not even members of this forum):
mudhi - for taking the time to give some truly helpful advice, helping not only the devices you use, but those working on others.
j4n87 - for being willing to give helpful advice to catch someone up who isn't quite at the point you are, and the patience required.
bassini - for releasing a mod that fully works when all that was asked was a little assistance! Was pretty damn cool.
EclipzeRemix - for being cool, giving me someone to bounce ideas off of, and contributing in the many ways you do.
mike1986. - for putting the time and work into so many devices, then allowing me and others to use that work without compensation! Guys like you are what make android awesome!
gjcamp - for being patient with noobs and making contributions that are purely helpful
Opentang - for being an awesome contributor whose help and legwork is purely awesome
sportsstar89 - for sticking around when so many left, for getting things done that so many have quit on, being helpful and more.
Glacierguy - For sticking around and staying positive even though there are reasons not to, being helpful, sharing and I'm sure more.
mznatnat - for giving feedback that is truly helpful and being a positive voice in a community that has so many that don't care, don't appreciate - for being awesome.
Xboarder56 - Although I don't agree with many of his actions, he did make many solid contributions when others simply weren't, many things are possible for our phone that wouldn't be without him.. if he were a little more patient, less easily offended, and more willing to set aside differences to work with others I think he would be an even greater dev. But he still deserves thanks, whether he sees it, appreciates it, or not.
Football - come on, you know you made our devices so much more awesome, wish I knew how you do it, but hell yea bro.
I'm sure there are more people than I can thank - all of the members who stick around, make some effort to help each other or contribute, stay positive, or share their experiences with others - you are what make open source what it is, and help keep the noobs in check!

I agree with the search first approach..XDA os not a help site, so I believe in the concept of helping yourself before asking for it.
Also, please try to keep your thanks brief. To keep things tidy, Id like to avoid lengthy posts. Please try to keep your posts brief. Thanks everyone.
PS: Feel free to thank your hard working Moderator, who listens to his community.

I love all developers.... yep... all of them.... ones that do little coding.... to the super complex stuff....... if it wasn't for you.... MY hobby wouldn't exist... (which is modding phones).... I don't know about the rest of XDA but I know that coding / scripting / testing takes some time..... so pressuring a developer will only lead to crappy job on the project.....
I appreciate every single one of you guys..... I was one of the people that pushed for this thread..... after my thread got moved then shut down....
I am sure everyone feels grateful like I do....
Developers are awesome, and without them XDA wouldn't exist.
But without mods, developers would get lost in a sea of countless useless threads....
Developers and Mods rely on each other sometimes..... its the circle of life...... on XDA... Hakuna Matata!

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.

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.

Hi Moderator,
Don't take me otherwise. While I am surfing this forum, I can see hell lots of stupid things floating around. Some Rom threads are filing with stupid personal arguments. Lots of threads need to be close as thread's purpose has resolved. If you want I can point it out for you. we know you are doing your job and believe me you are good at it. What I request you is do some initiative to avoid these silly stuffs.
Senior Members,
it's kinda hard to maintain a forum for anyone. As our device a budget phone yet powerful, so we are having hell lots of user and their queries. So
Urge you please give some suggestions so that we can avoid spaming, can also be beneficial for new and senior members.
Aside to new users,
Guys keep your queries thread specific.
Thank you

If the devs could moderate at least their own threads, it would be a different story altogether. Those ROM/kernel threads could be shrinked 80% in size and only useful stuff left.
(Still would not solve the useless junk elsewhere but one could ignore it.)
Dear moderator, could you kindly go through the major development threads (current ROMs, franco kernel) and wipe all the bloody noise outta there.
I will not use a report post function because about every second post is off-topic n00b crap that plain does not belong there, so your PM inbox would get full soon. Not to mention that apparently noone cares about the crippled "report post" function that was discussed in xda-general.
This forum is becoming seriously harmed by useless noise. Some action, please!!!

Just wanted to say thank you for the support in my threads. It seems my thread stalker has serious issues. Unfortunately my thread was deleted before I got to read what you said, but I appreciate the backup. I hate to say it but the childish ones have turned this forum into flame heaven. A few developers have already left as well as several members. I swear the average owner of this phone must be 12 years old or just have no friends.
This being the general section people can pretty much post what they want as there are posts about tablets and other things that have nothing to do with the 3d. That is the point of having a general section.
Anyway, I hate the fact my thread was closed as I wanted you guys to see the new note. It is truly an awesome device and although not everyone is interested in it, there were several people who were and sent me pm's.
Although I spend most of my time in the Note forums now I do check in here to see what is happening as I have gotten to know several of you guys and many of you have helped me out over the months.
I wish everyone could get along and the internet wrestling would stop. There are friends to be made here and people out to help.

Within the last couple months, OP decided that the best way to fight flamers was to open
pointless threads complaining about them and asking them to attack.
What we have here, is yet another invitation.
Nothing else...

Not thread stalking you, just trying to keep the EVO 3D section to relevant posts that help the community. Coming in and starting a thread pretty much bragging that you got a new phone does nothing for the community. And then starting a new thread complaining about it when it gets deleted, what else is there to say? I can't even count how many threads of yours got deleted or moved because of my statement above. I am sorry that you think that I thread stalk you, but man, you make it soooooooooo easy.

Well look who it is, the loser thread stalker asshat . And for the smart ones who talk about clogging up the forum I guess the threads about what tablets to get, what ROM is the best or the ones about other phones comparing to the 3d are ok, right? You morons make no sense nor do your arguments. like I told panda, the average age of owners of the 3d is like 12 especially since your points have no logic nor do they make sense. The best thing is you continue to prove my point with your ignorant posts

Or, look at my posts and see that helpful, productive members of the community also do not condone these types of threads. There is a standard that should be upheld here by all of XDA
members.
General section is for general threads ABOUT the evo 3D. That is why it is the Evo 3D general section.
This position that you have that "everyone should like what I have to say", or "what I say is better then <insert anything>" is childish.
You are why this place is going downhill, not because of the people who have gown impatient with your frivolous threads, posts, etc...

Or, look at my posts and see that helpful, productive members of the community also do not condone these types of threads. There is a standard that should be upheld here by all of XDA
members.
General section is for general threads ABOUT the evo 3D. That is why it is the Evo 3D general section.
This position that you have that "everyone should like what I have to say", or "what I say is better then <insert anything>" is childish.
You are why this place is going downhill, not because of the people who have gown impatient with your frivolous threads, posts, etc...

However, I am not going to get in to an argument over something on a forum on the internet.

Lmao, ask around, I bet people loved that thread. It was quite great. Unfortunately, I didn't take the time to see if there was already a similar thread, hence it was closed.
So, good job, you cite a thread that was to help the members of the community....
Also, that just goes to show, that in fact, you Sir, are the 12 year old girl. Maybe 13, but meh, the exactness is moot.
What satisfaction do you get from the constant barrage of XDA? Does it make you feel special to 'win' arguments,
over the internet, with people you have never met, and likely never will?
Did you not get enough love as a child? Are you picking obnoxious fights with strangers to somehow fill that gap?
Or possibly, did you get too much love? Did someone make you feel too special, to the point where you thought you mattered?
Either way, it is old, it is annoying, and everyone would appreciate if you handed daddy back his computer
Oh for goodness sake. Can we stop with the childish petty arguing.
Is it really a surprise to you that these threads keep getting closed?
Take it to PM and sort out the issue. Don't start yet another crappy thread.
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...

Fish, "Z", and "Dg",
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.

Is XDA a transparent outfit? Do they explain their decisions to the community? Does freedom of speech, transparency, democracy... are these things XDA champion? I would imagine all of what I mentioned helps the dev community flourish no? Is XDA a strong dictatorship where we can't question them? Can we as members have a clear explanation why he is gone? Strong regimes discourages creativity.
Freedom of speech or nothing. Liberty or death. Born free, hope to die free.
*edit* Once again, I'm taking a screen shot of this comment in case for whatever reason it somehow disappears... Suppressing speech is something dictatorships do.
I see that Micmars is still posting so I am glad about that. He has helped me and countless others, so hopefully by not having administrator tasks, he will be more free to provide his valuable assistance to all of us.

Let's talk about some of these comments for a second...first off XDA is not a public company with stock holders to answer to and disclosure regarding staff. If Micmars wants to let you know what happened that is up to him. XDA is NOT transparent with regards to staff actions...we respect each members privacy and do not discuss any actions regarding a member whether a moderator, RC, RD, or members. This is a private site with membership and a set of rules. There should be no illusion of free speech here....there are rules to follow and some of those do indeed restrict what you might consider "free speech." Again...private site, forum rules, not a democracy. You do have a right to respectfully question actions...we would really prefer it to be in private rather than disrupt threads...but no one censors respectful questions. Staff interactions and disciplinary actions have little affect on the development community and are always done to better development as this is a development site created by developers for developers. Everything we do are in the best interests of developers and development as best we can.

There is no doubt Micmars is an awesome contributor...otherwise he would not have made Recognized Contributor on the exact day he was eligible, nor make it into the moderator staff in record time. We all hope the best for him and REALLY hope he continues to do what he loves and help members. This is his true calling as he is one of the most helpful members any of us have seen. As stated we will not discuss the demotion, that is to protect Micmars privacy the same as we do not say "XXX123 got an infraction for warez." I will say that all moderators have people to answer to. We have very strict guidelines we follow and a very high level of trust. There is no "blue wall"...moderators do not have "free reign" to do as they like. We are all in teams of 8-12 members and like a Japanese mind set, we do not allow any member to bring dishonor to the rest...not to say that happened, Micmars knows and accepts responsibility like a true stand-up member for what happened. We wish him well and look forward to see him plugging away helping members any way he can!
