It is a bukkit plugin along with an app that communicates with the plugin.

I can change night to day, chat with the people on the server, whitelist people, kick people, ban people, do any console command I want.

[Xperia Play General] vemoxy:
I guess SMP will not be in the XPlay version of Minecraft, which is sad.
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
Yes. It's ****
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
Minecraft will remain an Xperia Play exclusive for a short period of time, most likely a month, before other Android devices will be blessed with it. We got to play with it at E3 2011 on the Xperia Play and even then it was pretty awesome, making use of almost all the buttons and controls the Xperia Play comes with. With the adventure update coming to Minecraft as well in version 1.8 (hopefully), we should see the inclusion of that as well in the mobile version.

Read the last line of that, YAY! Sounds like the adventure mode is coming to Android :-) This will be the best game ever if it does have it.

Also, it's out in Fall for 6.99! Gonna be EPIC!
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
So it will be $5.99 and released in Fall.
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
6.99, yes! Can't wait, gonna be the best game ever. If I get this, with survival mode, and no more games after, I'll still be a happy man. This + Emulators = win win!
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Not worth the gamble @ $6. I hope they have a demo.

The problem I see is that every game developed will probably use the stupid swipe control. The reason is that devs are lazy and swipe is the easiest way to do it on the touch screen. So why program for two different control types?

We are seeing it with every Gameloft game.
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
I prefer the swype option for some games, I feel that unless you have something pulling you back to center (such as a proper analogue stick) you just leave your thumb on an edge. It's akward. And for Minecraft it is a swype, and tbh, I'm glad, especially for MC!
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Not me. If something is shooting you in the back you need to turn around quickly to shoot them back. :)

Aww man.. No creepers? :(

I'll still buy it though. totally addicted to MC.
[Xperia Play General] nickzero:
I never played Minecraft. but i saw a video of the xperia plaz version and thez really dumbed it down and made it stupid..
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
I would hardly say that, it's basically Minecraft classic, and not the beta! It's annoying, but oh well, still gonna get it, and still gonna love it!
[Xperia Play General] nickzero:
try it out still looks kinda cool.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
I've never played minecraft, i looked at the Xplay vid but, i don't get it.

So, it's basically just a map builder... But what do you do after you've made your map?
[Xperia Play General] indieastro:
HEy Nhialor thanks for pointing out my writing mistakes. Ive corrected and hopefully it makes more sense LoL
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
Ok, I'll put it to you like this, did you ever play with lego when you were young? What did you do when you built your first house of lego? Put it away and never play with it again...?
[Xperia Play General] nickzero:
Legos and this minecraft version have many differences. No cars, no people etc. Its only little colored blocks. You cant do anything cool.
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
yes they do have many differences...

i'm not gonna bother arguing this case, haters gonna hate. if you like minecraft, get it when it's out, if you dont, dont bother! simple
[Xperia Play General] tiwey:
i wonder if they'll have multiplayer...if they do i might consider getting the play when it comes to AT&T

BTW, if you want Join my MC server at 216.120.248.202:25565
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
It does have multiplayer, saw it at a press confrence! :)
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I'll try it if they have a demo or if it is free.
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
Might have a demo, but I doubt it. I can't wait though, gonna be EPIC!
[Droid 2 General] hockeyhead019:
Hey everybody,

Just curious if there was an ability to listen to the songs without dl'ing them to your phone... a streaming feature if you will. I think I had heard there was but I may have been hearing about something other than the google music beta.

Thanks
[Droid 2 General] 808Bill:
If you got the invite for Music Beta, then yeah, you stream the music you uploaded to the Cloud to your phone.
[Droid 2 General] droidmakespwn:
Amazon mp3 does this and you get a nice amount of free storage.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Can I just push one Lockscreen apk with another to get a lockscreen to work? Am I doing extactly what the subject line says? I'd actually like to put the Star Wars lockscreens on other stuff.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] readingkeeper:
I don't think its a matter of the .apks. There's around 20-ish images in the framework-res that control the lockscreens. What theme do you want them on?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
One that's in testing, hahaha!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] readingkeeper:
So close. If I get time tomorrow, I can try to see if I can make a flashable zip with just lockscreens.
[General Questions and Answers] Hubblemuffin:
Hello everyone!

Ive run in to a bit of a problem trying to put GB on my D2. i followed all the instructions on the D2/DX Gingerbread Release Thread, and when I unlock my phone, all i get is a white screen. i get my notification bar, i can see that my 3G is doing its thing, but i however can't use my phone.

I have looked around the forum for a while trying to troubleshoot on my own, but frankly, its somewhat overwhelming. i read about .SBF but i dont feel i know enough about that task to try and do that, ive tried doing various battery pulls, but so far nothing has worked. Any advice?

Thanks!

[Thunderbolt General] Seanren78:
First of many topics. Two of the major developers for the #Thunderbolt have departed ways with XDA. It is a sad day to say the least, but one that has been coming. What are your thoughts? New Devs must have a point of view. What is the state of XDA? Will foul mouthed trolls keep pushing great developers out of XDA?

*edit* Mispelling, since I know people are strict on grammar
[Thunderbolt General] dbu:
I think a lot of the problem is the combination of elitist attitudes (really funny when a lot of these people don't contribute a damn thing) and newbs that want to be spoonfed without even putting in the slightest effort.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
I think we should stop having threads like these every 2 hours...
[Thunderbolt General] ILMF:
The Facebook generation at its best. I've been lurking for a year, active over a month. In that time the forums have literally degraded into anarchy. The moderators here at XDA have to accept some, if not all, of the blame. Growing pains maybe, but their actions in some cases and lack of any action whatsoever in really any of the threads speaks volumes.

courtesy of my rooted Bolt
[Thunderbolt General] :
This is the General section... Do you really have that big of a problem with people beginning their own thread to discuss a topic that interests them strictly because the conversation has already been had in a different thread..? In my opinion, you just spot-on proved what dbu said. If you honestly don't have a positive contribution to any given thread, then why even throw in your two cents? You've done nothing but spread negativity.

Anyway, I think a combination of flame wars, reoccurring problems, and flat-out disrespect has driven many of the TB's devs away. I've been active on XDA for all of a month, but the way in which older members act towards new ones really puts me off to contributing to any thread within a mile of the development section. That's not to say that every older member acts rudely towards every newer one, but that's certainly the trend I observe here, and quite frankly, putting myself in the shoes of the BAMF team or Chingy, I wouldn't want to be a contributing member of a community like this one. I'm sure it hasn't always been this way, but presently it is, and that's really a shame.
[Thunderbolt General] flat4inrc:
I have been a long time lurker too and i can agree. I am someone who can appreciate the hardwork of these devs but quite frankly I think some are too quickly to get there butt hurt over what some tard is saying.

Sometimes I feel like we are in a locker room and everyone's strutting around trying to proove how big there junk is.

If someone wants to depart because of rumors, he said she said, or what have ya. That's cool. Best of luck.
[Thunderbolt General] stanlalee:
Dev's leaving because of people acting childish...please!!!

I've been on XDA long enough to know dev on dev disputes are the most childish, frequent, longest lasting and tit for tat of all the non sense that goes on in these forums. they as a whole cant even regulate the foolishness amongst themselves so they really have no room for fingerpointing.. Between this phone and my last rarely had a day or two gone by without one dev jumping into another dev's thread throwing a jab or an insult and even after it appears resolved three months later same two devs are in some thread back at it as if they are unfamiliar with the PM button.

That said guess what, it was perfectly fine by me. Not like I was paying for any of this (yes I have donated). Just dont tell me these devs are above the problem and not apart of it.

I also dont really understand why people are so pissed they have to go somewhere other than XDA to get roms like they get free mints by using XDA. I use gingeritis and I dont give a rats ass where its hosted as long as its hosted.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
people take things too seriously on the "internet". :D

it's not new for devs to get pissed and leave xda.... im sure bamf will be back as i doubt his roms will get that much exposure on a different site. sucks as i love bamf 2.1, i didn't even know he left until this morning. the worst part about hosting on another site is troubleshooting and general questions. these sites never seem to be a hive of activity and not many answer questions there.
[Thunderbolt General] kurttrail:
Bamf is leaving in protest of xda censoring someone's religious signature, not because of trolls.

How do you figure this, because you are that lazy to goto their webpage, they said that about energy roms for the imago and his stuff ended up being the most used, if you want the best you will search for it our even easier follow them

[Thunderbolt General] Gunthermic:
I have been here for a few months.

I struggled trying to learn some stuff to contriburte to themeing and stuff. I will tell i agree with some others as to the problems:

1. Some of these dev(no names at all) likr to share info and help spread the info, while others have this holier than thou attidude. Just search, or google it is not an answer. I don;t want to be sppon feed, but if you can't answer in a good manner, then skip the message and move on. The dev's should never been calling users idiot's, stupid, or whatever name they can come up with. This site was here to share, and for them to develope thier wares.

2. Moderators play a huge role as to why this is goign downhill. I have report several items in which i think a conversation has goen to far, and not once have ever gotten a response back from a moderator. Not a will look into it, I talk to the person.. nothing.. So one gets the feelign unless your a dev, or been here a long time, you get anything from a moderator.... dang shame.

3. Why are not the moderator taken a more active role? You how many times you can go into the many, many threads and see someone name calling or even cursing? I could care less about cursing per say, but this type of envioriment has no place for it. No a single thing from moderators... nothing...

4. There have been some that put some much into this, and get cetain threads stickied.. I love those people.. But as word gets out about this site, more users will be here vs devs, and unless some control is put into place this community will continue to go downhill.

And now I return you to your nomally scheduled programming...
[Thunderbolt General] abn75:
I agree that the mods play a huge roll in a lot of this. Many of them do no moderating at all, which is a shame. Personally I think Xda has grown to large with not enough oversight to many threads on exactly the same thing, usually on the same page. Time was a mod would step in and either merge them, or lock all but one.

And yes, at times Google it or search for it is the correct answer. How else does one learn but by research and coming to the answer. Getting handed the answer may allow someone to do something, but they have no idea why it was that way, nor in many cases how to fix something if it occurs later. By looking for the answer ave finding it, the person is generally better able to help themselves later on.

[Thunderbolt General] turbosrrgood:
People get way too worked up over these forums. The whole idea of forums is a way to exchange ideas and opinions, it is a guarantee that people will disagree or get mad. Yes there will be trolls and flamers. If this is too traumatizing, maybe just stick to published articles. To try and pretend you understand why a dev makes a personal decision over whether he is going to be associated with this site or not is a little ridiculous. I didn't read much of Chingy's threads, but BAMF's were overwhelmingly positive.

Also, not everybody spends 24x7 reading these threads, so if someone posts a thread slightly similar to an existing one I have no problem with it. The people who cry about this over and over again are worse than any trolls IMO. No one forces you to click on the thread and read it.
[Thunderbolt General] obededom:
despite this post....

people continue to talk about trolls, disrespect and noob questions....

I thought this thread was about BAMF?
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
I agree with you. The way the members who have been on XDA over 6 months treat the newer members is ridiculous and some people never have anything positive to contribute and just browse XDA to piss on the posts and threads of others. I for one used to tell people all the time that they've posted in the wrong thread but realized that it: 1) wasn't my job to police the threads: 2) It did nothing but spread negative energy, so I learned to ignore them. Making other members feel like dopes is extremely counter productive.

Just as a side, no one knows what the future will bring and in my opinion XDA will be fine. When I had the captivate one of the favorite developers over there (DG) left for a little while and everyone thought the sky was falling, he eventually came back stronger. I'm not saying that team bamf will return, but hey, you never know.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
And also, I saw the most disgusting post yesterday by another member in the sense 3 thread that I've ever seen on this forum, which he later tried to edit. Freedom of speech doesn't free you from wrath of public opinion nor give you the right to be an ass. People really have no idea what freedom of speech means.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
I think the problem is a bunch of elitist nerds sitting behind a desk looking for drama. They wanted to leave these boards to promote their own board - end of story. Its really simple to just ignore trolls. They want sympathy and everyone to follow them to their website.

You expect people on an internet message board to use common sense, that went out the window the first day AOL 2.0 came out.
[Thunderbolt General] erishasnobattery:
I originally posted this over in the 1.8.6 Thread in response to someone's mindless banter about us leaving because our feelings were hurt or whatever.

Although I can't speak for everyone, the above is why I'm leaving. XDA has become one huge flame war and a place for "kids" to vent their rage. I use quotations, because I mean kids mentally, regardless of age. Some of the most talented and respectful people I have met on these forums are still teenagers and then on the flipside I find out some foul mouthed flamer is a 40 something with 3 kids.

Although this isn't true of every device's forums, I'm seeing it in more and more of them at time progresses. Like I said above, I'll still lurk, as will most of the team most likely. We do still have a lot of friends on other devices over here, but it's just too much nonsense to sift through to progress our development any further in this environment.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
uh... so just ignore it?
[Thunderbolt General] obededom:
well said.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
Is that really what the guy had in his sig? Really? That's it!
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Last I checked, we made a conscious decision to leave and not ignore it. If I see someone getting raped in an alley, I can choose to ignore it or take appropriate action.

You berating us and spreading lies about our reason to move just makes this decision that much easier. You do not own us, we are not your lapdog. If we see wrong with xda (as many do for different reasons, as evidenced by this thread), then we shall take action we deem correct. Our site does not make money, and therefore have nothing to gain by promoting.

The immaturity shown by xda members in the last two days in berating, insulting, and virtually spitting on us because we made a decision to leave xda due to poor standards set by admins and mods....it is appalling.

The behavior shown over this leaves me to believe that humanity is doomed. Please let us go in peace and continue to produce products for the android community. To those who are spitting on us, we thank you. Please send us your address, and we will thank you in person.

[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
Please go here and post your childish comments, I believe it's more so your age group, XDA might be a bit too mature for you (that's saying a lot).

I'm not religious, and I could care less about it, but the fact that XDA won't allow someone to have something like that is completely asinine. :mad:

And I just read the blog, racist forum moderators here at XDA is ok, but saying GOD in a signature is murder... :rolleyes:

After reading why they left I'm ashamed of being part of this community ... I'm an atheist and I still find that greatly offensive!

For those who say this forum is better without them, that's a lie.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
I guess I missed out on the happenings here... Bamf left because of xda wanting them (or one individual) to take down a religious signature? Is that right? or was there more to it?
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
The final straw basically, plus how 80% of the people here act like 5 year old if they don't get what they want or if something doesn't work right.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
Interesting.. but just out of curiosity.. wasn't Adrynalyne the one who was talking about developers needing to have a thicker skin during the chingy episode? I kinda find it hard to believe that adry would pull a chingy on us because of some users. Reading his post in this topic.. it seems like they had issues with the moderators....and what were those issues? I guess we don't really know.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
agree that the blame is on xda. They changed the way to report a post/thread/user and made it such a pain in the ass that nobody bothers anymore. And how can such an active forum as the thunderbolt general only have 1 mod???

Recognized devs should automatically be able to mod/edit their own threads to help clean them up.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
yeah, installed bamf 2.1 yesterday, tried to get a question answered (damn thing would not connect to my pc via diskdrive even though htc drivers were there), took over 3 hours to get any help. By that time, I had flashed gingertheory since to me, that is a very important feature of the phone. I think xda survives simply because of the numbers. When you have millions on a forum, there will be thousands on at any one point.
[Thunderbolt General] erishasnobattery:
This had nothing to do with our users. We love our users. It was no single person, it's just the direction XDA has gone in general.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
aaah.. that's what I thought.... Obviously you don't owe anybody any explanation.. but just to put an end to all the speculation... what specifically about xda's direction was it that the Bamf team disagreed with?
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
I agree with devs having the right to do as they wish and to create their own forums/sites. But they wouldn't have the following they do without xda and its millions of members. What you are doing now promoting their site in your siggy is actually against the TOS as well, so that makes you no better than the people who flame and troll.

From the rules:

1. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.

•Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.

•Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.

•Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.

•Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.

•Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:

A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,

B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)

If we actually had any mods, I think that their dev threads would have been closed by now.

If they chose to leave over a mod overreacting (which xda came out and said was the case), that is their choice and I wish them luck going forward.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
That is absurd. Insulting someones religion is one thing but I didn't see that here. What about the all anti Obama crap I've seen around here, some people even have it as their avatar. You can't pick and choose what's politically correct.
