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

+1 man. There should be an all in one frequent asked question sticky thread. Most users of the O1 are first time rooters so I don't blame them as much because I had my share of questions.

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!!!

Some people are edgy about it because there is a cloud of uncertainty about whether you can discuss it or post the link to his forum without getting warned by a moderator. I'm on both forums and regardless of which one you're on, it's been agreed by all that it's for the best to leave the matter alone. Read through his post history here if you want to try piecing together the puzzle yourself.

I dont see anyone being *****y? i gave a straight answer, which is its NONE of our business. if you dont see him posting roms etc, assume hes not around. besides, its been all throughout the entire xda forum about his situation for weeks. if youre interested enough, the info is out there
Geez people. The major developer for the amaze packs up, yanks all his roms and pulls his threads and leaves and everyone is supposed to just pretend nothing happened? You can claim it's none of our business all you want but people certainly have the right to be curious and ask questions. Want to end all the questions and speculation? Then don't tell people to dredge the forum for clues. Deal with the question and put it to bed.
I agree and the users are the reason why these forums are alive and working so in a way we are the board members lolllll jk but ink why pda is having all these problems lately i guess a cleansing is what this site needs to be back at the top again

I googled xboarder56 and right there on the first page you can find where he is. Deal with the question and search yourself. 1st rule of xda in case you couldn't find that also
Their not gone. Google the name of the ROM u want and xboarder56 and I'm sure u will find it. The bottom line is mrmako is right. If you don't know, then it didn't concern you and was none of your biz to begin with. His work is still obtainable. XDA is not only site to find hacks and roms etc. Let's just leave it at that and if you can't find his ROMs then go back to stock. It's not xboarders responsibility to service anybody, nor is it any devs responsibility. They create work that they decide to share with us. That's where it ends. They don't even have to share. So use what you can find. Google usually has the answers.
I miss Binary. He would have had this thread closed and locked already for it is completely unproductive. Since Binary retired from xda this forum has been mad with duplicate threads, noob issues, and a lawless feel. Where is Whiskey to shut this down?
PS just because people have the right to be curious and ask doesn't mean people have the right to know. So exercise your right to be curious and keep wondering. But its not anybody's responsibility to inform the masses of anything. Anything else that you can't find is drama unrelated to development, and if you want a soap opera, you should watch USA Network, they know drama.

This is the General section where questions are supposed to be asked and answered. Any thread that answers questions that many members have is productive. The only reason THIS thread is unproductive is the refusal to answer a question which is on MANY members' minds.

If that's what's on peoples minds, then they should get a new life. I know most of the story and personally its not that entertaining nor is it any of our business. If people want to know, then they can do the digging and be nosey on their own. It's nobodys place to restir a pot not worth stirring. It's counterproductive. Since you're such a tenured vet, you of all people should no better. Why does it matter where he is? If his work can be found elsewhere, what is the point of this thread. Threads like this are what started his move to begin with. Noobish ass questions with the answers right in front of peoples faces. Again, Law and Order is a personal favorite of mine, Criminal Intent and SVU.. if you want good drama, I recommended people start there
Not to mention this thread is 2 pages long, yet you are 1 out of 4 people who have showed interest in wondering where X is. The rest of the comments, the people already know or don't care. 4 people maybe consists on a lot to you, but I hardly would say the same

but this IS our point bro. the op didnt post a thread asking where x was or where he could find his work, he asked "what happened" as to imply "why" x was gone and not really IF he was gone. its kind of like when people get flamed for not searching first for answers to questions like "guys, how do i flash a rom?" or "amaze or s2?", except this is deeper and shouldnt be a topic to clog up our forum. the man left, hes not coming back, no need to continue to ask why or where he went.
on a side note marley, i DO understand your point, i just dont agree with it. i guess this is what happens when people have a $600 phone with little to no dev community LOL. lets just move forward and pray we get some new talent in here!

Maybe we can reach other devs from other phones, like CoreDroid, who are able to successfully port their work to our device. Like what NRGZ did. I think the main reasons for little to no development are: a) amaze is a US phone and not a world phone; and b) s=on. So if we can get this device in other devs hands, it may help. Like the Revolutionary donation we had going. Or I guess we can be happy with what we have and wait for nrgz 3.5 and xboarders ics.

Do the roms that are built for the N7000 work for the SAMSUNG-SGH-I717?? I only ask because...
1.) The I7I7 has only one ROM available and its not ICS where as the N7000 has several ROMs available.
2.) I know its possible because I run Desire HD roms on my HTC Inspire.
Thanks for all the help guys.

Apples and oranges. The Desire HD and Inspire 4G are basically the same phone. The hardware is the same except for some minor differences with the sound hardware. The international Note and ATT Note are completely different phones. The only thing they have in common is the size, screen, pen and they have similar cases. That's it. Everything else is different.

Absolutely questionable response and uncalled for...even suggesting that isnt humorous and maybe you should be concerned as to what people will perceive about you. Im just about sick and tired of all the rudeness and blatant self rightgeousness on these forums, members need to show some self-respect by not being rude. This forum has some NEW RULES as the base subscriber is no longer DEVELOPMENT ONLY the majority of us are not developers...they have their own section for each device to which noobs are restricted and should be, so giving people and noobs a hard time for something posted in the GENERAL and Q&A sections is ridiculous, so maybe show a little restraint if you choose not to help and just move on without posting anything!
Listen, I know a lot of noobs and others make mistakes and dont follow the rules but why jump on them outside of the DEV's threads? If you do as a senior or junior member then you also are breaking the rules!
NEW Forum & Marketplace Rules;
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding.

2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

Being a bit of a newb myself. I wondered if anyone agrees that there should be at separate Q&A for noob (novice) questions only.
Therefore more experienced users can filter out stupid questions that even I think is ridiculous. Leaving the Q&A for real problems, rather than simple and stupid questions like "how do I flash a new modem" etc. I propose this idea in all platforms and models.
I felt as a true noob, some time ago that people are very quick to snap at noobs. Leaving them feeling like quitting and giving up. As a community member I feel this is an issue. Having a Q&A for noobs I hope would not leave noob questions unanswered.. just only given advice from willing and helpful members. Leaving experienced or dare I say selfish user the freedom they desire, and the noobs that extra bit of support.
After all, this is a community and we are "supposed" to be helpful. And we all started without any knowledge atall. I am eager to hear your responses.. both noobs and pro devs.
What are your thoughts on this?

To be honest most ppl brand themselves as noobs. I feel I am learning very quickly, currently learning java. Some people just don't have the patience. Can't be bothered to search.

There's a difference between being "noob friendly" and catering to the minority of what is already a minority. Let's not forget XDA's origins as a DEVELOPER site. The directions provided by devs are almost always complete enough that anyone willing to put in 5 minutes worth of effort to use the search button is able to figure it out.

I agree that we shouldnt be spoon feeding people. I have gathered knowledge in android and developing massivly over the past few weeks. And i have xda to thanks. Already a senior member and learnt so much more than what i could have ever imagined.
Android is the future! And xda is playing a big part in molding its future. So a massive thumbs up!
I did however encounter some very rude members how could have easily directed me to the rules sticky. We do not need noob Q&A. We jus need to give polite gentle nudges in the right direction, if they are just plain lazy...
Throw em in with the pack of bitter xda "originals" for all i care. as they are branding xda as a "fix my fone" forum. Not as what i hear it was back in the day..

childish
Seems a bit childish when they decide to ban a dev they just close their threads. His stock w goodies had 899 posts so there must me plenty of members using that Rom. Members that visit this site. Without members and visitors they wouldn't be generating all the ad revenue.
Without the devs and development does xda have "anything" to attract visitors?
On the comment "xda has scared off more developement than it has gained",+1 couldnt agree more. seems to be alot of the bro deal buddie buddie s#!t going on and it kinda makes things suck. Especially for devs like flex360. I seen in a post title "if your a user just looking for a cool rom go away" well as a user ill remember that crap. And wont use it even when it is released, or any of the other crap he puts out. XDA is supposed to be about shareing knowledge and helping others obtain it. And Shareing what you have developed with the community. Not for the "this is mine and you cant have it" frame of mind. Seems that things have gotten turned around somehow at xda, and the ones who deserve to be reprimanded are being rewarded, and the ones like flex360 and others i wont mention who deserve recognition or reward are being punished. Whos next, OMJ or bigdaddy for helping and contributing too much.(just a couple names off the top who have helped me greatly in the past along with many others) At any rate, we dont know what happend with flex and maybe never will, as long as he knows theres a great many of us who are bebind him 100% and will support him in any way we can for his contributions to us. We're here for ya flex. :endrant:
*Information IS the most dangerous weapon of all*
If u read the sense 5 thread, you can see what happened, (690ish post) flex ported something to sense 5, and shared it, and didn't give credit to original mod, until a little while later. Not really sure why they locked his rom post as people may still have discussions regarding the rom.

Also seemed like all was cool with everyone afterwards so that can't be the reason. They all made up and laughed it off.

Flex just tweeted banned until may 29,
The thing I want to know why is he banned? How can they close a thread with 700k+ views? That's like lost ad revenue to them if those users say f it to xda, and if it was Over a little incident that got resolved that is unfair in all ways possible, but oh well we are user's and no one gives a @#$? About us.

There's more to it then you or I or anyone can speculate. Its between flex and the mods, he more then likely understands it and hes not complaining...if you have questions, contact a mod, if you value flex privacy, then leave it alone, let this be handled by flex, the site admins and the mods.

Firstly hi.
Secondly, I'm not the mod who banned flex however I can speak to why the thread was closed. It was closed due to him not being able to support it while he is banned. Same thing happened the last time he was banned.
To the scaring off developers, give me a break. I work the website as a whole and there isn't a mass exodus of great devs. If people don't abide by the rules dev or no dev they meet with consequences. Everything is taken into account before bans happen user history post history.
As for the dev thread mentioned with the title saying users don't come. I changed that thread title because users were getting upset at devs getting upset at users posting in it. The devs aren't keeping it to themselves, it's a development thread. Purely not meant for users. Like someone said this XDA developers. It's in the original dev section, yet users who have nothing to so with the project despite being told otherwise continued to post. It was stated that the sense 5 port wasn't ready for mass consumption when it is you will see a bunch of stuff about it.
Now everyone go on about your day and spend time with your family. Put your phone down for a while, step away from your keyboard.
Thanks.
