Maybe I'm just getting grumpy in my old age, but do we really need to post, "downloading", every time a new ROM version is released? It's hard enough to get through threads that are multiple pages, without having to sift through the, "downloading", pollution. It serves no purpose. You may as well tell everybody what you had for breakfast, while you're at it. How about we all make a New Year's resolution to cut down on frivolous posts? Rant over, thanks for listening, carry on.

I'm skipping breakfast and going straight to lunch. I'm working from home today and my wife prepared good old franks n' beans. Yum yum........ LMFAO!!
Anyway, what's your favorite lp rom so far? I keep trying them and going back to beans stock with skydragon kernel and xposed. The bugs and lack of customization (mostly bugs) keep sending me back.
Always appreciate your input.
Relax and have a good one!

At least it's in it's own thread, and not polluting someone else's. See, the thing is, from the title, you probably could get an idea what this thread is about, and decide if you want to read it or not, but if you're trying to get information on a ROM, 100 posts that say, "downloading", are no help whatsoever, but hey, thanks for sharing.

Using Bliss Pop. The performance of Lollipop goes a long way to overcome the lack of customization. I see CM12 has gotten the camcorder fixed, so I'm sure the other ROMs will have it shortly.

When will this be updated?
Can you do something special for me?
I've been on XDA for years, and its amazing the amount of crap that people put in development threads now.... Its been getting worse and worse over the years....

I used to, until I realized that if they won't read what has already been posted, they probably won't read what I post in response, so I don't.
My favorites are the ones that post a question in the middle of the night, and then three hours later, start to complain that no one has answered their post. Those I DO respond to.
A close second are those that are TOO LAZY to use simple punctuation and capitalization of their sentences when they ask for help. Apparently they feel that even though we are doing them a favor in helping them, we should also have to figure out what their mumbling are, because they are TOO LAZY to spend a few extra seconds to be clear. Needless to say, such individuals seem to have greater difficulty with their devices than the rest of us; I wonder why that is ...

Sometimes I post questions at 2am. And I don't get mad...normal people are asleep. Lol. If its a pressing issue, I google If its somewhat severe, I do a restore. I backup before everything. Everything else can wait. WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST WAIT. I'm currently waiting. I want a 100% working aosp. And it doesn't exist yet. Most devs aren't worried about kk now. Its all l.p. which I love. But it's so buggy. So I wait. I'll ask maybe once a week or so "what's the bugs in the newest build" and I wait...and data is still iffy? Okay. I'll wait.

Just had one in the LG G3 forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/usb-internet-mode-verizon-t2969583
Threads like this are exactly the reason I tend to avoid speaking up at all in any of these forums. They tend to be a full of cliques where you're either part of the "in" crowd of "smart" or "experienced" people or just another stupid noob who either doesn't know how to read or are "too lazy" to search. How about you guys either just answer the questions or keep your smart mouths shut. There's no need to belittle or insult someone just because they're not as "smart" as you are. I've had my say, so I'll go back to quietly perusing the forums....

I thought maybe it was just the Vibrant section.. but the other phones I look over seem pretty slow also.
regarding the Vibrant, what gives? Why so slow on here?
The easy answer is people have moved on to new phones (and a lot have), but there are way too many Vibrants out there for XDA to be THIS slow. Are there no more questions that need to be answered? Everyone working on the GB Source?

I don't think that there are no more questions to be answered, it's just that 99% of them already have been if people would be smart enough to search. If you look at development threads, pretty much all of them have the same questions in it and when a new thread is posted, the questions in that thread are the ones that have been previously answered.
Then there are those idiots that complain about a rom being horribly laggy (reflash fix) or having horrible battery life while the rom has only been out for less than a day.
I don't want to see dev's leaving but I can certainly see why they would be going away, xda is full of idiots and trolls.
yeah, I know what you mean... I don't know that I would say it so harshly... but it seems like the Q&A and General sections have nothing new to offer lately... work is surprisingly slow today and I was hoping XDA would fill this void... it hasn't.

Yup, I think the previous people said it best. At this point, the Devs et al have really got this phone running sooo good there are not alot of issues to cry about. That, and the pending new phones that are beginning to get released, as well as, the tablets got people less focused on the Vibrant and some of the other phones that are 10 months old.
I got a color nook for my daughter and it is a blast to flash and mod, So alot of my flashing urge is satisfied with that.
I think alot of us are just waiting until June when the new S2 comes out, Then there will be this HUGE swell of interest again. But until that time, the vibrant and Galaxy phones are such a great phone to have it really is hard to complain.
I do agree alot of the kids/trolls have been griping more as of late, but I think that is because we have all been more silent. All in All, Love this Forum and all the people who contribute to it.

I've come dangerously close multiple times on picking up a Nook Color, is it a viable tablet on CM7?
I've been splitting my time between here and Team Whiskey forums....i still love XDA but trolls aren't allowed in T.W. house ...i think when we get our TW ROM devs come back then we'll see some goodness back in the Vibrant forums...until then we're getting over-ran with ROM ports and themes.
I really dislike the idea of each "team" having their own site...
It's great for them... but it really hurts the "community!"
All of us could spend time navigating each of their site, and creating logins for each one... but it's just so nice to have EVERYTHING in one space.
And those who do branch off, always seem to come back anyway.

True, but i think the teams go to their own homes b/c of the a**ho*es that do nothing but talk crap about their work without giving thanks...devs at are at their own forums can moderate can control the content themselves as they see fit....when this "Recognized Developer" thing (that XDA Admins have been working on) starts, then devs can control their releasing threads and keep trolling and unnecessary complaining to a minimum...s15 is right, everything should be all in one place...this is XDA, where all smartphone knowledge and MODs originate and come together
Just my opinion...

It really is frustrating a lot.
Most of the time, haters will refuse to register on your site so that's automatically a filter on it's own. Next you have complete power to do anything & everything with your site.
I really wish everyone could stay on XDA but it seems like the amount of dumb we get is increasing daily and it's like there's no way out of it.
Also, people tend to think you're a lot more "professional" if you have a site.
^ you da man. Makes sense, completely understand coming from your perspective.
The reason for the increase in "undesirables" is just in the numbers. The more android catches on the more total people are going to visit xda. That's includes all types. From the seasoned developer looking to learn about android to the person that knows nothing but wants to learn to the person that, no matter what, will not search out even the simplest answer to the out and out troll.
Its just that odds are we hear the most from the latter two as the first two are more apt to search for their answer and ask questions when they truly can't find the answer.
I'm no genius with this stuff but I will at least take the time to learn what the stuff I'm doing to my phone is and how to undo it or fix it if needed. There are more and more people that don't our won't.

You need 10 posts to do it in the dev section. You should be able to reply in the general or other sections. Why they can I am not sure. Are they doing it with a computer or by phone maybe?
Thanks. I don't mind I need 10 to post if that's the rule. I just wondering why some peoples, like me, has to follow that rule, but some don't required.
It could be the date they join. Some have been here forever with little to no posts.

I believe that the cutoff is around 2009 or older. Grandfather clause. Remember when there wasn't a "thanks" button?
Oh I see..... so this 10 post rule is something new (relatively). Thanks for the explanation.
Now I just have to work hard for my 10 posts.
I always wondered the same exact thing... I noticed some dude two days ago posting in the development and had 3 posts... I think under our profile there's a referral option so maybe they got referred my an existing member. That's my guess
Took me a year to get 10 post!

10 posts is a pain, but I understand they don't want everyone mucking up the Dev threads. Sometimes they are hard enough to keep up with what is going on in them.

if its something youre really going to consider, you have to invest in a good one. the initial investment in a starterkit will run you between $60-$90, but you ultimately save a ****ton of money AND health from there on out.
those crap ecigs from the convience store/mall kiosk are a horrible misrepresentation of the vaping world, dont buy those.
i can give you good recommendations if youre interested.

it is a huge online industry, with a alot of great products >> but unfortunately those great products are buried under a tone of inferior products...it can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
a lot of people start researching, and just get so overwhelmed that they just say "fck it, ill just go buy a pack of smokes."
ill PM you the site where i started.
I suppose my problem is never shutting up.
I'm a lurker and have been for over a year. I understand the need to have people make productive posts, but I don't want to. BLAH POOP!
Sounds good to me. I've been a lurker for a long time, but work schedule has finally slowed down to less than 50-60 hrs/wk so I might actually be able to contribute some good thoughts.
Let's clean this up a bit, shall we?
I get the impression sometimes that we (speaking about everybody here in the 3D forums recently) make this place sort of "unfriendly" with sarcasm and troll posts, rudeness when people post in the wrong section, create duplicate threads, so on and so forth...
First of all, I will say that I am fully aware of my own contribution to this, lol. BUT... i was thinking earlier about when I started out over on SDX and how friendly and eager people were to help me when I was new to the android/Linux scene (although I still had somewhat of a basic understanding of it because of my knowledge of windows, Linux and especially android was a new world to me and much of the knowledge I have picked up since then was simply because people were so willing to offer help and their own knowledge - regardless of "noob" questions (when I simply could have used a search button).
Yeah, for whatever reason you just want to punch people through the computer sometimes when they post in the wrong section or make "hAlp my phonez is teh broken" threads that can easily be fixed with some searching around. But I think we should try to be a little bit more of a friendly and tolerant (and therefore tolerable... ironically) of the things that go on around here.
Anyways, just some dumb ass rant post. But I thought I would share this thought because I feel the action of it could be a positive thing around here.
oouuut.
So, I will be nicer to people. Let's all try this, shall we?

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that since there's been a flood of Android phones hitting the market over the last year and a half or so, there's also a flood of people who come with it. They buy a new Android device, hear about 'rooting' and jump on here. Not everyone knows the meaning of respect, and they expect things to just be handed to them. There's definitely more idiots on here than before, but also just more people overall. No matter where you go, the more people around, the more idiots there will be. It's unfortunate indeed.
I try to be helpful, but it's definitely aggravating when someone just flat out doesn't read a damn thing, and asks a question that's clearly typed in the OP. When I joined, I didn't know ANYTHING about rooting, ROMs, etc. but I read a few things and learned.
There are a few forums that I use that have a n00b section with zero intolerance for the replies to questions in said sub-forum, maybe that would be nice, then we can segregate the n00bs and flame more well-known users for asking stupid things. Lol

I used to get on here several times a day, reading these forums, but it took me a long time to actually register because the few immature people that start a fight in the thread made it look irritating. Like whoever posted in the recent ICS thread about how the OP was information from another thread, even though the OP was several pages long.
Who cares? It's something else to read. That's why most of us are here, for some form of entertainment.
n00bs != newbies
Newbies don't know things and after TRYING to figure it out themselves, they have ended up, seeking answers for uncommon situations. This is OK.
n00bs, on the other hand, don't know ****, they don't give a crap about learning and expecting from others to give all the answers on a gold plate without moving a finger on their foot. This is not OK.
The sooner pseudomoralistic idiots realize this, the sooner will be this place be as it used to be before. If not, I'll continue to troll n00bs for my own amusement and you can kiss my shiny ass.

Yes, the "an answer is easily found by a very fast google search but I'm too lazy to do it or just expect you tell me" crowd is the problem I agree. Even if they are not the majority, when I see a new thread or question that seems like an easy find, I get really mad because I had to take the time to learn and search on my own. I've been on here since 2006 and I guess because of all the new androids out there you get people who are not technologically inclined trying to do technicological things.

That said XDA has gone steadily down hill. I remember when I first came here I was actually afraid to post. Now XDA is so addicted to member counts that they let just about anything go. Had a guy yesterday asking how to hack Amazon this is the crowd being attracted now. Its a shame and like many others i'm looking for the next XDA. Problems is the asses will just following. BTW I have no idea what the OP posted because he is already on my ignore list as it the poster below him now.

Yes, the "an answer is easily found by a very fast google search but I'm too lazy to do it or just expect you tell me" crowd is the problem I agree. Even if they are not the majority, when I see a new thread or question that seems like an easy find, I get really mad because I had to take the time to learn and search on my own. I've been on here since 2006 and I guess because of all the new androids out there you get people who are not technologically inclined trying to do technicological things.
However, I agree it has gotten out of control, and the mods are unwilling or unable to do anything about the newbs or the a%*holes that are attacking devs when they know nothing about any of this development stuff.

/pulls out soap box and stands on it
first off you wouldnt believe the amount of buttholes and douchebags mods put up with on a daily basis. most often we only get called in when there is a problem, so everyone wants to talk about how things have changed and how it sucks putting up with the idiots. put on mod glasses, i would 75% of the people on here, instead of just reporting a troll or a n00b posting in the wrong spot or a spammer, they in turn flame, troll, spam the person that just needs reporting. so that means, we then have to clean everything back up, figure out who to get rid of and sort the whole situation. its not fun. if you want to see things change, be the change. report posts, dont flame the idiots, dont feed the trolls, just move on with your day. we arent afraid to boot people, we arent about "registration numbers", we are about supporting developers. but we cant be in every thread at once or all the time. if you see something out of place, report it, everyone has that ability. but most of us just return the favor of flaming people.
i became a mod, because i believed that a difference could be made. i reported posts, before i was a mod, i was helpful to people, i tried to teach n00bs the correct way of doing things instead of treating them like trash. yes there is an over abundance of users now due to the influx of android devices, most of the new users dont know anything, and they wont ever learn anything if we all are douchebags to them.
if XDA is becoming something that it wasnt in the past, its because we as a user base are allowing it to be so. be a respectful user, help people out, if someone is doing something they arent supposed to report them. serisously, how are we supposed to know whats going on if we arent notified?
/steps off soap box
I think a large problem too is it really does feel like the mods play favorites. I don't want to bring up the whole Chad.Goodman thing, and how he was reported and pulled in a matter of hours, yet, when he reported other non-GPL complying dev's nothing was done to them. Or my own situation, having important threads detailing hostile actions from one particular user being deleted without any reply or communication from a mod as to why. That user having no repercussion for his actions.. It's really feels that it's not an equal ground forum a lot of the time.

i agree that it may feel like that sometimes, and sometimes mods need to do a better job in communicating. users will not however see everything that goes on behind the scenes. if we infract someone we dont broadcast it, its really no one else's business if i infract you, thats why other users cant see other peoples infractions. if you dont like the way a mod handled something, ask him (or her) how/why they did what they did. dont be hostile about it, just pose a question. i know we are more than willing to talk to users about their issues, and come to the best possible resolve.
My experiences with this phone are bitter sweet for the most part. Any bad taste Ive had with this device has without a doubt been brought on by myself or indirectly by a thread Ive read that developes, or should I say continues a "Will this", or "Can I" theme for the length of the thread. Not the devices fault or mine but it does bitter things for me
I must say that I have 2, this is the third posting, total in XDA for me, and I have flashed safe to say almost everything in the ATT LGOG portion of this portal. Nightlys, I will say every other release of Everyone that devs this device. Ive been inconvenienced a time or two by havin to reflash wipe flash install blah blah from bad file upload downloads. setups I can almost do with eyes closed, those get old. I have a point I wanna make and Ill get to it in a bit.Ive lgnpst this phone a hundred times and Ive even had the mispleasure once of having to send my phone to those wonderful bastards at mobile tech videos for a JTAG. Hells core kernel and a good buzz on made that necessary. If I woulda not been such a FLASH crackhead as I am with anything like this, and just read pages initialy, it probably wouldn't have helped anyways cuz Im like that
Heres how it goes; dev works tirelessly, life has its priority, but love for dev gets it done, DEV posts new thread introducing his offerings and any findings to further the DEV of his offering. questions questions KUDOs Kudos , u the man tytyty. thread starts to turn into something useful from postbacks on breaks and things that work and don't work, ETC.... Rom stabilizes further. How it LOOKS and appears; half of this community has entitlement issues and a problem with using GOOGLE SEARCH. U want something outta this then offer something other than 200 pages of questions about **** that OP has already posted and answered and fixed, for me to scroll through to find my solution. U DEVS (most) are overworked and get little return other than patts on the back and the semi-occasional paypal donations I guarantee arent the motivating factor for your part in this.
I have 3 posts people and 2 of them were questioning community and not DEV.
I promise I have had more downtime from this phone than 85 to 90 percent of you from overzealous under educated leap without looking actions on my part. I have a sickness and cant help myself. that said, that sickness motivates me to figure it out for myself and GOOGLE info that IS available. People that do google also end up havin to comb pages of peoples posts that could have searched for them selves but WONT. cuz its easier, lazy.
If you dont understand what Im saying then u didnt read and you are terminaly doomed to be that way. Which, in turn becomes my problem again eventually.
People who get it , GET IT! the reason I feel i have to rant is annoying to me, but thats my mood at the moment. annoyed and loosing faith in the common mans common sense. I have common sense, choose not too engage it at key moments, but I dont not use it at someone elses expense.
TY 4 letting me post my mumbleings, and enduring my incorrect sentence structures, punctuation, grammar, and most of all to the people that matter and contribute by not contributing garbage
Thank You! :good::highfive:
I'm sorry you just now are starting to lose faith in the common man's common sense. Human intelligence is on a bell curve with an iq of 100 being the median. 65 and below is retarded, 25 and below is a vegetable. That should let you know that half of folks are below average intelligence. Remember this when you see something retarded online or in your real life, and learn to gloss over the cornucopia of retardation that litters the Internet and the regular world.

Edit, im adding to my own complaints
What happened to CM threads they are both closed?
Whoa I just noticed that too!
Anyone follow any of the devs on Twitter or anything?
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with what unfolded earlier today...

TheCubed developer whom created Bump along with TeamCodeFire has quit developing for our phone. Future updates more then likely won't work unless others pick up where they left off. Now that Bump is open sourced and out there LG will be able to lock it back down if you recieve OTA. I am sure development will not just stop. Lots of good people doing damn good work. jholtom for one who got us CM11 and 12.

Damn. Well that definitely sucks, but like you said, hopefully the talented folks we have helping us out right now will soldier on,
But if you don't do the OTA then what's the issue with continuing development on Roms that have been bump'd?
Sent from my LG-ls990 using XDA Free mobile app
No issues if we continue to have someone working on them.
So did the devs just abandon cm11 and cm12? What happened to where the threads needed to be closed?
That I don't have the answer for? I surely hope not. That would be a shame.
Well it sure would be nice to have even a half a$$ answer. I mean are they on hold, are they abandoned? I've been holding off flashing the zv6 to see if these are going to start up again. Roms can still be bumped now that its public I think. I don't know, I think more people should get pissed at LG, unlock your f$-"#@ bootloader to your glorified camera & hoopy doopy screen. Ranting. Fun always sucks when it comes to a hault

It won't die just might be low key. People may just have to know where to look for stuff. Just may not be on XDA served to us on a platter.
XDA has been sweet, but people get bossy with ETAs and don't know how to use search functions or google. Just expect answers without self education. Block OTAs and keep our devices ours.

I retract my old statement. I wasn't really thinking because Engine has been developing for us since day 1 and I am using his D3 rom for ZV4 right now for the longest I have kept a rom before flashing another. I'll stick around as long as we have at least one developer trying.
Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm all for open sourced things, but I feel this whole Bump thing will blow up in our faces.
Yes, another group took theCubes work (and his team), stating they were being "Shady" about it, and opened it for all. Usually, this is good news, but you have to ask yourself a couple of things. One, why wasn't it open sourced to begin with? Is it because CodeFire/theCubed was making money? No. They were clearly keeping the process in the dark, but if it wasn't for financial gain, then why? The ONLY logical answer has to be because they knew more about the situation w/ LG than any one else.
I've got to believe, that when someone takes a couple of months to accomplish something no one else could, then holds on to it for whatever reason, I've got to believe it's for the good of the community. With signatures and keys, and with the CM11 & CM12 being closed, I firmly believe we are all screwed now without Codefire and theCubed. This process has taken forever to get, and in a matter of days, another team ruined it, and the future, so what? They could have OFFICIAL CM ROMs? Ridiculous.
I guess my point is, I've been a member for 8+ years on this forum, and I have NEVER seen this much drama, name calling, *****ing, moaning, accusations and ETAs. I don't know if it's new members, old members getting old and cranky, or just society loosing all respect and patience; but this crap needs to stop! I've been on other phone threads, and the LG G3 issues are BY FAR the worst. If you don't have anything nice to say, if you don't have any thing to add, shut it. Show a little respect to devs, take your fragile ego out of it, and lets move forward together. Who cares if something is SHADY, so long as it gets the job done?!? That's why everyone was initially *****ing anyways, because nothing was happening. Now that things are picking up, people NEED to know how it works? Pathetic.
Stepping off the soap box. Clean up this post if needed, but the community needs to clean itself up. Take the initiative, stop stupidity.

Well said!
We all need to band together and get things working for our phone. I'm down to help as much as possible . I'm grateful for what these guys done so far but there could always be more that the end user could do to help. I been trying everything to get bluetooth working but i won't stop trying. So hopefully there's more people out there working on fixes for the cm rom because it felt nice and smooth on the lg g3. It's a shame bt don't work because i use it alot.
I think we screwed the ROM development over... don't see it happening without proper Bump!. Would love to be wrong... but if that's not the case, and development will continue, why was CM threads closed? Why has nothing been addressed or advanced? I think the development for this phone has been severely handicapped.
Lol ... Um just FYI even though the threads closed there's a new build up .. Nothing stopped
