Lack of patience - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Is it just me or is there a lot of impatient people within this community. It seems nearly every Rom thread has people demanding that things happen now. These developers have a life too, and use part of their time to create roms for the benefit of all......for FREE. It is not a job for them although some of them could look at employment in the industry and manufacturers should look at some of these developers to help create OS for their models.
If the impatient people cannot wait for updates, fixes etc either fix it yourself or go back to stock so you can bother the people that actually get paid to create roms(in this case, Sony).
BTW, I am still on GinTonic. It does what I want it to do.

Definitely. As a dev being asked for ETAs isnt too bad but some idiot practically demanded an update. Not only had I just had a week on exams but I had just moved to a completely different source tree and was working very hard to get a working build. ETAs im polite to but if you demand an update I will take out all the stress I have built up on you. Be warned people. (asking for an ETA from ME is fine I dont mind but other devs do get annoyed at it sometimes)

You guys both joined last november 2010 nice.

I just have about 400 more posts

That's right. That would be because you actually have the knowledge to contribute to the community. I don't have the time to learn all this stuff and I rely too much on the phone to be changing and testing. Recovering from a broken back, physio all get in the way. I mainly come here to read the interesting stuff that you guys have got going on. My contract with th x10mp is nearly up so I am planning either galaxy s2 or 3 or maybe one of sonys new handsets. Once I do that I may look at using the mp as a test handset to learn more.

Q to cracked bootloader devs and cfw devs

Cracked bootloader:
How far did you get?
Who are working on it?
When will the cracked bootloader be aviable for us?
Custom firmware:
Is it able to get 2.2 on x10?
Who is working on a cfw?
On wich FW are you working?
When will it be aviable for us?

Just sit and wait until the bootloader is cracked or they find a way around it. Nobody knows how far they are.

Didn't want to have a go at you but since I've seen people get slaughtered on these forums when they don't really deserve it I think its only fair.
This thread deserves slaughtering! "They" do know how far they are, but so do I - I know they still haven't cracked it.
So how can they give you a timeline? If they could then they would have cracked it. They aren't waiting for a progress bar to reach 100%, they are actually trying to hack into it. I don't even now anything about android development but I'm intelligent enough to realise it takes work, especially when its not paid for. Let them get on with it and don't pressure them with stupid questions making them look incompetent.
Please close this thread! It's a useless topic

Buddy your post is worthless they dont know the poster above u explained it to you.. they might think their close but they can also run into a problem that would get them stuck for a long time.. so noone knows wait and see like the rest of us.. thats why there is a thread like custom rom dev and excelent progress on cyanogen so you can read whats going on and what the progress is. Read the forum.
And i also think the mods should close this thread as it is a joke.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
For you to understand.. Lets say they are @ 99,99%, 1 small tiny thing can enormously slow down the proses or even make it (almost) impossible. No realistic person can put a timeline on these jobs.
A smart dev will never say it almost done before its really done.

Obviously some regular users on this forum don't get it. For a newbie, these forums are very, very difficult to extract exact information from.
There are so many different threads to look at.
Then once you find the thread, sometimes you still can't get an answer because the language spoken, is very much developer only.
A simple, no, they haven't cracked it yet, but they are still working very hard, would have been an easy, quick answer for all who was looking.

Why don't you guys just look at the developers thread and see how far away they are? You make your own assumptions but at least you will know what they are working on at the moment. Like last I checked was working on ram disks. But please no posts. Just look if your curious.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Right now, imho no one works on cracking the bootloader, but the managed to boot from a custom ramdisk, however its still far from a full working image (right now its more a proof of concept) usable for simple users.
That is my impression as well after reading the dev thread.
It seems they "gave up" on the bootloader, or are focusing on booting the stock kernel, and after that instead of running the stock init scripts and OS to load another OS. (but the kernel is the same)
please correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm in no hurry to get a custom OS, but i'd still appreciate if the guys who are working on it could let us know, what exactly they're doing (no timelines of course)

ROOT and ROM

OMG! Somebody ppppppllllleeeeeaaasssseeeee get these rooted and some custom ROM's out!!! I wanna shoot myself on how terrible this factory ROM is!!!! UGH!!! Slower than a pregnant yak trying to walk up hill in a snowstorm!!
Be patient Im sure they are working on it . It can't be easy otherwise guys like me and you would have done it.

Please, never post like this again if you're going to stay a part of this forum. The phone isn't even officially released, that's the price you pay for getting it two days early. The devs we will have didn't have their hands on the phone, let alone a system dump, so how the hell do you expect them to have something already? And no matter how much you think it does, your self entitled complaining really doesn't help development, rather, it slows it down. Devs don't like having to deal with people like you that are all about "gimme gimme gimme" with no help for them in return. Patience is a virtue, I suggest you find some.

Best community on XDA here!

Gotta throw some love out to you guys. We don't have alot of developers but we got some good ones, and good members too. A couple weeks ago I was ready to cut my losses with the Flyer, but now I'm pretty content on keeping it. My phone on the other hand, the whole community has gone nuts, and declared mutiny against the mods lol. Nice to see we can all get along here and work to make this device better
nothing better like this, after a trip downhill with DG
i still like my Flyer and community will probably remain, just look at the Folio100 which started from nothing and they got pretty a 100% working ICS without even Toshiba helping, all because of XDA community and the support.
due to the different opinions of the mods, you will see one section where users get banned, another one where mods are promoting their devs, and a third pushing for gpl rules and another where they do not care. mods are just people, they can easily mess up the sections, but as long as its kept in other sections we are happy
im personally quite happy with our mods in this section
This is all for fun, I think sometimes people lose sight of it
Yeah no complaints about our mods. Honestly I dunno what's going on in the vivid section, I don't care to be part of it I know that. Thankfully its a good phone on stock because it's an all out war zone over there and pretty soon I'm certain development will cease as all the developers leave. I didn't make this thread to rat out anybody just saying it really puts our community in perspective
Really its the best xda forum I've been a part of. As nice as all the development on the captivate was it was almost overwhelming. You had probably 4 or 5 varieties of cm7 available, 2 or 3 ics roms in development, and a 100 modified stock roms. So you pretty much had to become a crack flasher to find out what was best for you and forget getting to know anyone.
We have a device that was a flop business wise and we were left for dead on a crappy honeycomb update. We all have our spats from time to time but everyone is pretty cool here and trys to help each other out to get the best flyer experience possible.

It's not about the forum with the most roms im talking just great community in general which is what we have. And remember we're working blind with this device. My captivate benefited from sharing identical hardware with the Google flagship, we have the desire hd, one v, and well that's about it, not to mention no tablets that share the hardware so ics almost has to come from scratch. Not to mention my Captivate had entire teams of people working in ics roms. The stuff our few developers have accomplished is nothing short of incredible.

Completely aggree.
The main problem (just my point of view) is that those "noobs" ignore any compents (if I think on hephappy's thread) and think they know everything.
And because they don't work on there own project, they don't know how much work (all in the free time of the devs) has to be done.
Don't worry
Don't worry!
My roms are available via Rom Manager.
Rom manager -> Download rom -> hephappy -> Select rom
No more xda = no more noobs...
Rom manager note:
ROM hosting is free. ROMs hosted via ROM Manager Developer Portal will be listed
in the free section 5 days of the week. The other 2 days of the week, it will be
listed in the premium section. The days may vary from developer to developer
so not all developers are in the premium section at the same time.
Woohoo okkayyy

I kinda agree here, developers get all the respect, praise and following but they get bossy and abusive at times. Evrerybody likes to have good ROMs but not at the price of self respect I guess.
Everybody has a noob stage in life or maybe someone who you call noob at XDA might be a scholar in his field so XDA is not the end of the world. The best way to treat somebody who you dont like is to 'ignore'.
If a dev has 500 fans and 50 of them are ignorant noobs, even then its not a bad deal.
MORAL: Everybody start giving respect, dont be short tempered, value devs work and try to ignore if thats the only option.
Cheers!

Everybody is a "noob" at one time.Lot of people think they are the boss and call others noobs, but that pretty much wont last long.I ain't a developer but love all the developing works in here.Its really obvious from the thank meters of great devs, how much respected they are in this community.
Not anybody is born really intelligent and talented.
Everybody learn something from others and improve it.That is how the system works.
Everybody has their own field which they are perfect at.In that field, the "bosses" in here could be noobs.
I think everybody should learn to respect others to gain respect.

100% Noob for Reason and Courtesy
I have been a professional developer but for internals and ROMs, I am 100% "Noob." Most of what I see on this little thread is much less than helpful. Enough already.
Anyone who read my posts would see that my tone does not fit the stereotype be harangued here. I do not use the F word, the S word, make ridiculous claims and demands of more experienced (fantastic!) "Devs." Any suggestions I make are with respect and humility. Maybe the ideas will pan out, maybe not.
If I do not have CM10 on this old phone, I am delighted with ICS. (Indeed, Google Now will soon enough work here without JB, a matter of time and ingenuity.) I do hope JB (or as I have termed in more realistically "Jelly-Sandwich") will work on the phone, but there are other things in life. I did not enter XDA for all the negativity and tension. Friendship and respect are more important the ROMs and tweaks.
I dont read p500 so munch like old time, im have buy new device and i busy with that, but this problem has rolling day by day, even before arjen and adam start developing here, it has make alot of casualties like andy, doctornotor, etc..
What you expect from from developer?
Their ideas, their works, their time, so i think they must have bigger egos than me, im just a Leacher... Just download and give feedbacks if you like their works, or leave it like that if you hate he/his works. No need flaming, another person have their glasses and viewpoint.
Xda is made for us. we here for our needs, even every devices will death development, we just try make as long as we can, and flaming is not the way to make our beloved p500 ageless like htc hero...
Thx for all developers That i known for 1.5years till now day in this section... GBU.

What exactly is wrong with asking for an ETA?

A contributor or dev posts a ROM and many people download and flash it. The ROM is solid yet has a few bugs. The Dev responds to comments about these bugs and says they will be fixed in the next release. For the benefit of the doubt let's say a few weeks go by and the Dev volunteers info about this ROM but says a release isn't ready yet. Fair enough. A few more weeks go by with no mention of a release. Why is asking for an ETA frowned upon in this, albeit rare, situation?
The go to response is "these guys do this on their own time. They aren't being paid. How dare you even assume to think that you deserve any sort of progress update". I get it, but my point is, the Dev posts a ROM for it to be used by the people and to get offended because someone asks for an ETA is kind of ridiculous to me. If the Dev was doing it for just himself he wouldn't post it on the forum and I'm saying that making the ROM public comes with a few caveats. Like maybe some people have an Interest in progress.
Full disclosure: I've been an xda user for a long time and I've seen many people needlessly get their heads bitten off for asking for an ETA. I want to ask for an ETA in a thread and I'm afraid of the stupid backlash.
Maybe this goes in the general section. I'm not sure. I am technically asking a question.

I don't think that. I am happy a Rom is even released. In a house building scenario: you build a house/shelter for everyone. There is a minor flaw in the foundation due to termites or something... Nothing too serious, not life threatening. You still have to go and fix it without messing up anything on top of the foundation. You try to fix it only to see making that quick fix actually made the plumbing wonky. You fix the plumbing only to see it made it worse. Might as well just keep it the way it was before.

Honestly, this post is more directed at users who get bent out of shape when someone even mentions an ETA. rudeness is the perfect word. I've never asked because I personally feel similar to you. I still wonder, though. The reaction to this question by users makes my skin crawl.
Related: when someone is ordered to read an OP and subsequent posts that consists of 100 pages. Really? I just want to know what the bugs are and I'm being told to read small talk anecdotes and broken English? It's stupid and rude.

If it hadn't happened with the instagram downloaded for xposed then none would have started the project themselves. But for other things, you do have to remember most of the people here lead a life with full time jobs and maybe a family issue or job issue came up. While they are making these things for us, it isn't their responsibility to inform people they Dont really know if a family member died or something.

I agree. I'm also not calling out the devs with this post, although it may seem that way. The devs are the experts here and of course they have lives not connected to android. My beef is with the children like buddy up there with the first reply on this thread. His answer is exactly why I've been staying away from these forums.

Just ignore em. Gotta remember there are people that are angry in general and that need to find an outlet for it. Not your fault, just the internet. Easily ignored. I think it was a good question. Been following these forums for over a year now and you do see it all too often.

If that's what you think then you should know you came off wrong...which happens when conversing over type.
I took your post to be in the same offensive category as the self entitled who demand updates. (And yes I deal with them too).
I would much rather be wrong on my initial assessment of your OP but please understand how it was received.
Hi all...this thread caught my eye. Interesting subject. Nothing wrong with it. Its the little script kiddies that hold real devs to god-like status that act rude.
Been around since the G1. Hasn't changed. If a dev is worth a flip he or she will not get all bent out of shape. Has the right to say back off but at least it's from the guy with the actual talent saying it! I've seen devs eat that crap up and get diva complexes which makes me laugh when it happens. Threatening to stop work yada yada. Told one to piss off and leave...a long time ago, different forum. Someone took up that diva's slack...ended up with a nice ROM for a crap phone.
Good times.
