Why are devs leaving? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Firstly, this isn't a complain, just a way to try to understand what's happening.
I noticed some devs (from the few we already have) are leaving.
What is the problem? Personal? Phone power? It was only a temporary phone? Users aren't being polite or thankful? Xperia S seems that won't have much developers, this was a fact since the beginning.
Since the beginning, FXP and Xperia AOKP team are here, but a few other devs doesn't hurt. Doing mods, other ROMS (I confess I'm jealous of the number of roms and mods on the Arc forum. Heck, I want that Pureness Rom so bad).
Again, only trying to understand, I AM NOT COMPLAINING.
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"

A Serious Issue!

Maybe because some users are complaining too much for the hard work they get for free. I think that we should praise our devs more and also that we should donate more. Development of a rom takes days/weeks. Not everybody can afford to do that totally for free. Maybe xda could offer a humble-bundle-like buisiness model for professional devs. (pay what you want). With that we could attract skilled and motivated people. And paying at least 1$ for a rom wouldn't hurt anybody but reward the developers.
Please don't attack me for that. It's just a suggestion. I know how hard development is. At the moment I also have maybe a 100 interesting projects, but I can't afford to realize them cause I don't get paid for that. And everybody needs to live from something.

people here doing those for free, and of course they have life too.. it's sad to see some few people just rant about their mistakes...if there's bug in the kernel/rom..report it, instead of ranting or venting anger :/
hope to see more development for our devices..

MAyB the user complain more & 4get to give credit to the DEV's who have put in hard effort to make it & sacrificed their useful time.

Maybe because they have gotten better phones than the Sony ones... But it is sad yes.. I would love a smooth and fast rom... But hope more devs will come... I have tried a little for my own and will maybe continue xsx kernel but I can't promise anything as I don't have much time because of my final masters degree assignment..
But we must hope for better days ..

Which, somehow, it's strange. Xperia X10 Mini/Pro, X8 are low end 2010 devices. They still have some active devs there.
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"

Look at x8! They even have miniCM9 n 10! Haha! And many Roms and juice to taste! What I can say is that let's became dev to serve our community! It's about time to do it ourselves!

Who's leaving? I'm not leaving, I'm temporarily studying
I think the MooDeD (what's the right capitalization in that) dev left, but I don't think we've lost much here. Doom is having a lot of problems IRL, and so do I for now. Jerpelea and Kali- are working on 8960 devices, me, Nick and Keiran on U8500 and AOKP for everyone, krabappel and others work on modded stock ROMs and stuff. What else do we really need? I mean, it would be great to see more skilled people here, but we're getting by as we are right now. Give Sony a month or two, and we'll get stable JB with all the stuff working*
* - likely except HDMI, Sony uses a custom protocol that's a PITA to reverse engineer, so it's not a priority.
P.S. Also, Xperia Nexus. If it's real and not Exynos (which I doubt), I'm totally getting it.

Eracher and mericon just left.
I know. I really wish I had knowledge to at least a Sony based ROM (from Arc to XS). But I really don't know where to start. No dev knowledge.

I can confirm that we don't always get credit for our work. It's really annoying when users post 10 times the same bug with every release, or keep spamming my inbox with the same request over and over again...
Anyway I won't leave soon, I just have a lot of work to do for school, but I'll maintain my Xperia S stuff
As soon as I have some more time I'll also go to making rom from sources maybe

I can only say that I also find it embarrassing so see the hard work you guys put into what we (should) enjoy. I for one am extremely happy with your work and wouldn't think of "this button's too dark" or "your rom isn't sexy enough" or whatever.
I'm sure many users also appreciate your work, but only the spammers and naggers seems to get the attention.
Whatever, thanks again for the hard work that makes our toys so much better - for free!

Why continue the XSX kernel? I'll post some more info on aKernel later, it's going to be... interesting

Seriously, add it. Its damn difficult to choose one
@all mik started porting for our phn cm7 when it had various bugs but noW is stable and creating a possibilty of creating official cm7,andy is up with beast rom on weekend,ciaox bringing sense and openoptimus great features,franco playing the best part in kernel without him it wouldnt have been possible to get our phn going for long wth smoothness ,battery,games etc.
So the list doesn't end up here so I beleive p500 thread belongs to all devs who has brought something or the other for the phone and yes even to all users who have always supported the dev and providing that extra boost as without the users nothing can come into use.
sorry for the long lecture but for me - TEAM DEV AND USERS
It really is hard to say bit any user rather advanced or noob is doing so much for our devices. If it weren't for people like djoptimus,Andy,mik,sweetnsour,Dr.notor,or ciaox we wouldn't have great insight on how to custom our phones. Anytime you have a well known dev blowing up the forums with new updates or unknown devs releasing there first rom I have nothing but respect

I think this poll is malformed because franciscofranco and fserve are kernel developers. Andy, mik and others are Roms developers or other things. So they compare in that sense I think it is very difficult.
Well it's just my opinion
Not to pick on anyone but a couple of these people I don't recognize as developers. A developer in my mind is someone who has written and released new code. Also, there's at least one I think you left out.
No offense but for what it's worth I didn't vote and I don't think it's fair to pit them against each other.
all developers all great, but i vote for mik as he first started porting cm7
drellisdee - the first to release an OC .32 kernel for the 01. Also, I think his adb push write up was the first I saw on getting root for the O1.
getitnowmarketing - the first to release a recovery (AmonRa)
Paulo - the first to OC the .35 kernel
Not the most active devs in the O1 community but certainly there names belong in this thread.

Enough with the broken roms

I am seeing a pattern that I dont like, devs putting out broken roms . A rom must work flawlessly out of the box, not screw up a device.
All the broken roms has " WIP" which means work in progress, and ignorant ppl like you should not even look at it!! So stay away from all this!
Oh and these devs are not working their ass of to please you..nobody cares if you like this pattern or not, its a development forum!

Not true. The first word in developer is develop, which means to make progress. As you've seen in the last week, that's exactly what they've been doing. Don't lash out at the developers when you don't even have your own rom for the amaze. I've been lurking here for the past few months and i've been very happy with the strides made with this device.
As the old saying goes, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

well we (all the devs and future devs) could just remove our download links and leave you "rom-less". be glad that we make anything at all. Remember we do this for free and yes, even though these are WIP's, that doesnt mean they arent going to be fixed eventually. they are meant to be milestones to show users that there is still activity for this phone.

Can I get an ETA for when you will shut the hell up?
You have got to be f*cking kidding me. If you dont like what we do, then get out of here. Be thankful you even have root. We use a lot of our own time in our lives to release something because we want to. If you don't like it, then nobody gives 2 sh*ts. We can just lock every thread and remove every link and you will have nothing to use? Do you really want that? If so, then do not even come here anymore. People like you disrespect devs and the community alike. Don't like what we do? Then do it yourself. Oh wait, you don't know how. Then f*ck off. It's your problem. Not ours.
Roms aren't broken, its you dude.
This thread should be archived in the "examples of trolling" thread.

This is 100% incorrect. XDA-Developers means we develop things. ROMs/app are an ongoing work in progress. Devs don't make ROMs just for users to come here and expect to be able to "pimp" their phones.
Oh, and the Development forum is not for posting complaints in. it's for Development work, that thing you don't seem to like.

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.

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.

ChaosfirZen had phone stolen- Thinking of Donation Drive

ChaosfirZen, one of our few Rom developers for Xperia S recently had his phone stolen (He made the Mooded ICS rom). This means he is unable to develop for the Xperia S anymore. My question to everyone is would we have enough people to donate some money to try and get a replacement for him. Rom devs for our phone are thin right now, so I feel it is important to keep the ones we have. Let me know what you guys think.

Rom devs for our phone are thin right now, so I feel it is important to keep the ones we have. Let me know what you guys think.

Yeah I am willing to put some cash down, I just want to see if we have enough people interested.
You should donate to real devs like FXP team.

Yeah but I personally like his Roms.
I don't even know the guy or own the Xperia S (yet), but I'd pitch in solely because I like where Xperia is headed.

I don't know him really either, but I did enjoy his Rom and i pmed him to see what happened to it. Sad to find out his phone got stolen.
A terrible experience for anyone to have. I'm definitely behind this cause.
Donating to him. He developed well for the Xperia Arc and he justifies his hard work by producing good ROMs
Nvm. I just Borrowed Xperia S On My Classmate. Since He hacr GS3 maybe ill continue dev. After 1 week

Krabappel2548 is stopping development on xda

Hello to all of you,
I have some very sad news especially for Xperia Z1 and ZU users since they barely have any devs at the moment..
But first I wanna give a lot of thanks to all of you for the great support and confidence in me throughout my development times here on XDA, I've met some wonderful people and learned a lot. I know people respect me and it's given me a great feeling of satisfaction.
I have some really difficult issues/situation to deal with in real life now, I can't keep running away from it. I'm sorry to announce to the entire community I'll stop development right now.
I don't know if and when I'll come back. I hope I can come back, but it all depends on my personal situation. Please don't sent me a lot of pm's about the issues. Thank you.
Regards to all of you,
Krabappel2548
Man.....saddest morning ever!
Oh man.. this is sad. I hope you figure out the issues you're having, and come back in the future. May you have a merry christmas and a happy New year.
Bro hug.

@krabappel2548

you've done so much for the z ultra community.
seeing you leave makes me almost wanna sell this phone.
i hope you can now focus on sorting your life out man. sometimes u've got to stop running and do what u gotta do man - there's no other way.
u've got so many supporters and well-wishers from this forum cheering you on.. whatever it is that u face will only make u stronger when its taken care of..
and dont worry about us. this situation may give birth to some new developers.. who knows? me too.. just managed to triple boot linux today
