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.

Yeah. I believe in this.
Wishing us all great times ahead!
Hard to say considering there are more then 50 forums on xda.
Go take a look at the Tmobile G1 aka HTC Dream. Those of you that know that forum know what Im talking about.
The G1 had ICS before 95% of the phones

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.

Ordinary people are countless. Special people are very few.
We are those special people.
You know...we have the best tablet out there. I have a Blackbery Playbook with os 2.1 and a viewsonic gtab with ics. And, I hate these tablets. Rarely use them.

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...

If developers wish to leave xda wishes them the best of luck, thread closed.
I don't know how many people are familiar with faux123, but he makes amazing kernels for a wide range of devices. His kernels are always top notch and squeeze awesome battery life out our your devices. His sensation kernal took a single charge from 8-9 hours of heavy use to over 20. I've notice we have a some good kernel development here but I think we could benefit from some more (especially for MIUI or CM). I've worked with him on the Atrix and he's very interested in the SII but would need money to buy one. I'm going to throw $100 his way to get one but I'm asking for a little help. Visit his profile page, http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3332811 to take a look at what he has done and I'm sure you will agree with me in getting his help over here. The work here is awesome and entropy has done a great job but we can always use some more help.
Just be careful with this thread. Someone did the same thing in the skyrocket forum for an awesome developer to get a skyrocket through donation and there are a few that are giving a ton of crap about it.

Awesome i had the atrix before sgs2 and was using faux kernel overclock made my atrix much better. Id donate if icould spare it unfortunitly im laid off. But glad too see this ihope he gets his device and people can behave
I had the atrix as well. Actually still have it and still dev for it but am digging my s2.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Yeah i had to jump ship moto will not comunicate with its customers. I made a couple threads and got motos facebook wall flooded with people telling them they were gna ditch them if they didnt add the atrix to the ics list. They still have tons of people asking them and they still havent added it to the list the say the same thing every time click this lonk for the latest aoftware news. Lol it hasnt changed the only devices they put on the list are verizon devices. So i gave up and went with the gs2. Sorry op for going off topic im done . Lol moral of the story isbdont buy moto

Well for one thing, the developer looking to get a Skyrocket doesn't need one to produce Skyrocket ROMs. He already has a T-Mobile Galaxy S II that is pretty much identical. Not to mention, his T-Mo ROM was already successfully ported to the Skyrocket. Thus many over there just see it as a money grab. It would be like me asking the i9100 community for a device when I clearly don't need one because our i777 is similar enough for me to make ROMs for them as well.
I'm sure this has been noticed and asked prior to this post. We all read the phenomenon in these threads and posts.
Question: Does it seem like some of the best Developers are leaving and moving their work to their own or core group based sites?
Why?
just concerned since I can count more than a few who've left, for whatever reason, in the last 6 months...

Drama I guess. I'm kinda bummed that my old og Evo is more popular for development than my 3d. I thought most would move to the new phone.
It is what it is pimpin. Some leave and some stay. Our forum went through a crazy phase of children being stupid and a little growing pain. But I think we're mostly over that.
But your question has been asked countless times. A quick search would have brought you up to speed.

Did quick search it. Seems to me that either you are in or not. With our phone being difficult to get the basics functional, the practice of running off the guys that move development forward is slowing progress to a crawl.

Yeah, I feel ya man. Annoys the hell out of me sometimes. I know I personally stopped participating in getting on people who harass the devs or intentionally start drama because the mods say that it's not the communities job to do that. It's theirs. But, it is what it is. I'll still be on this phone until my contract is up. Which is a long time, so most of us aren't going anywhere.

My guess is when they crack the hboot 1.5 and everyone is fully rooted there will be alot more roms and devs back on track..

Hey guys, I'm about to trade this phone for an HTC Sensation 4G and I figured I'd ask you guys about this phone before I do it (since you own it). I know the hardware upgrades (RAM, processing power, NFC, and connection speed), but how good is the development? I saw there were a lot of ROMs available, which is good, but what are you guys thoughts? Good? Bad? Worth the change? It seems like a definite upgrade, but as usual users may have different opinions. Thanks in advance for the advice!
*Sighs*, I'll do it before anyone else does since it might not be as nice, WRONG FORUM DUDE, lol.
IMO it's a great upgrade from the sensation, but as I always say, everything is down to personal preference, ROM wise, we have some great devs that produce great roms, I've yet to hear of any complaints that we couldn't resolve or of any bricks (well people panic and call it a brick when it's not), that we couldn't fix.
Development is slower, for the amaze but that aside its a better phone I enjoy the amaze more then I did my sensation, especially the camera and added storage because I have lots of music.

No worries if a mod needs to move it they will bottom line if u don't need to flash a new Rom everyday then your good to go with the amaze as long as you enjoy sense, the Roms we have are great and the devs are working for sense 4.0 and CM9
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
As soon as we have the complete source from HTC the ROMS will rapidly expand and currently it's booming, just that it'll be way more easier on devs to get more roms out for us.
Amaze is what sensation should've been from the get-go. I went from sensation to amaze as well. No regrets here. Picked up one s and messed with it for a day, before deciding to re-sell it and stay with amaze
No.

Instead of creating this thread (in the wrong section btw), you could have just checked out the Sensation develolpment thread to check dev support for this device.
15 people could tell you its a great phone, and to get it, but it really comes down to what you like. YouTube is a great resource for answers to questions like this. Lisa, over at MobileTechReview does a great job at revieeing. Its wirth a looky loo.
I'm closing this thread only because there is already tons of information available to you. Soend a little time researching. The information you're looking for is right at your fingertips. Not to mention all question related threads belong in Q&A.
Thread Closed.

I was thinking just the other day that this "Goodbye Tour" (and the resulting new threads) is pretty lame, and perhaps should be combined into a single sticky thread (where any future defectors should post). Keep them all together in one place, as each individual new thread just screams "HEY, LOOK AT ME... I'M LEAVING!!" It's just like when you're leaving a great party but nobody would notice, so you've got to try to tell as many people as you can, on your way out the door. :silly:
Not ready to go
Nothing out there that I like for everyday use than the Rezound.
Not many phones will be S-0ff or with as many great custom roms
to choose from as the Zound. Can't beat the screen.
I know I'm not leaving for quite a long time and will be starting Rez ROMs here once my new computer comes in as I'm upgrading from desktop to laptop...I know quite a few others will be sticking around for at least 6 more months
