I'm going to have to agree with on this. Since the thread was started here, continue with the support. Post #26 explains that if you support the work then support the site. If that is the case keep XDA out of it.

So you didn't know you were banned but your blaming XDA because it sucks? I'm sure you must have got a PM as to why you were banned?

XDA is a great site, most of the community comes here.

I understand that people want traffic for their ROMs on their sites, but if that's what you want then you should keep your posts either here or there. Not both explaining if you support my work support my site.

Too many ROMs go unfinished, hope is gained then lost - kinda how I feel minus the kinda. When the Incredible 2 ROM was ported for the Incredible I was soooooooo pumped, but development ceased because other ROMs for other devices were taking precedence over that project. Seems to be the trend for most ROMs.

While most here praise for the 'hard work' people miss the big picture. Just because a new test ROM is released doesn't warrant for a new release. We saw the flip flopping with the Desire 3D ROM, focus is now on runnymede - which isn't even a final release.

I'm not trying to hate, I just want to see ongoing progress :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] abtxpress:
I don't like it here no more, I'm taking my toys and going home. Lol. First rmk, now newt. Is there something going on at xda? 2 great dev's just grab their toys and go home? Nils from the og Inc left, but I think he came back. Seriously, is there something going on behind the scenes here?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] franklin270h:
You've gotta look at it from the developer perspective

1: Their site is there for specific reasons. Sites don't pay for themselves. Traffic, and ads, pay the bills

2: Newt, among others, have requested that people post bugs on their forum so that they can track them more easily. The people won't even read the OP enough to respect that. The man isn't just developing for this phone. He is developing for many different phones. Consolidation is a must for efficiency on his behalf.

3: There are a LOT of noob posts. And that's fine, we all started somewhere, but when a thread is absolutely cluttered with those kinds of repetitive responses and general noob questions about how to flash/wipe/etc, it gets us nowhere. When people make dumb mistakes like trying out a new ROM without wiping correctly and complaining when things don't work right, and post up bugs relating to them not doing it correctly, it wastes everybody's time. If we won't even read back a few pages to see that a response/bug has already been mentioned, why would we expect a dev, who is more pressed for time, to do the same?

4: XDA is a huge site, with a big community for sure. On the other hand, because it is so big, it doesn't give developers the tools to create subforums that allow them to pinpoint what they want to look at and get quick information. Tools are a critical thing for developers. In a lot of ways, thumbing through roms on XDA turns into one cluttered up mess, because they are so big that they just can't narrow down to specific developers.

5: I'm not narrowing down to anyone specific, but a lot of the people on here just don't show respect and sit around addressing developers as if they owe them something.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mpoly112:
There nothing going on behind the scenes, it's what's going on in the scene, the same question gets posted 10x's, and answered 10x's, if some members would just take the time to read the thread then it wouldn't be an issue. Newt made it very clear to Please post bug reports on his site because he doesn't have the time to continuosly go back and forth between sites. He was courteous enough to post this here for all of us, and made a simple request that unfortunately some posters ignore. Thank you Newt for all your hard work and hope you continue your awesome work with these ROM's. You rock and I for one know that if it wasn't for dev's like you we wouldn't be enjoying these badass customizations to our phones. Most of us really do appreciate what you do, and know that it's a work in progress, hence (beta), and don't complain about every little snag we might come across, whether it's user error or just a bug that should be reported on your site. Thanks man, from all of us who really appreciate all you do for the Inc2 community
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
So let me get this straight.... if you post a ROM on XDA or any site with thousands of members, do you really expect no one to post bugs in the thread? Do you expect noobs not to ask the same questions over and over? What exactly would you expect?

And if you want everyone to post only on the developer site, why put multiple ROMS here if you can't keep track of them and then close the thread?

Some of the more popular phones have threads with 1000+ pages.

Do you see the Cyanogenmod team closing threads because noobs post in them? NO. They simply state where to post bugs, and where to get support. Then the forum users help each other. And for unfinished ROMS and nightlies, they will just tell you it's a beta with no support.

But then again, everyone can't be professional.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forzapirlo:
Newt please make one for gsm, please please :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
Wow, just as many dicks here as there were in the Inc forums. Ungrateful bastards. This isn't a democracy, everyone doesn't get a say. If you don't like how the dev does things ur SOL. Stop using his stuff, stop complaining, start making your own ROM. You think saying how "you" would or how he "should" do things is gonna change? All the top ROMS are hosted on their respective sites ie. Miui, cyanogen, skyraider, and newts. The reason you don't see this kind of stuff in the cm7 thread is cuz they hardly ever look at the thread to help, they're mostly on irc helping there, which helps with cutting down the "noob" questions. Newt actually wants to help but like he said it's too much work going between sites. So if you really want to help the xda community, you should be welcoming more dev and not pushing them away. Give newt some slack. Without him the dinc 2 wouldn't be as good.... Period.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AZKJS:
My first guess is MONEY! that's whats going on here.

with forums like this its hard to get people to come to you...

...On your own site with your own rules, and your own ad-sense account

you can bring in more donations, and revenue from ads.

(Cause lets be real how many of you have donated?)

...about not posting here?

come on really this is a great "directory" for custom roms, mods, etc.

If it were me I would post it up here, link everything to my domain, then close the thread immediately!

Now your linked to people who want your work, but your based on your own domain giving yourself the control to monitor bug reports etc etc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
Come on dude. It's not about being ungrateful. Its about progress. Releasing good work is one thing. Standing behind your work and keeping it updated is another.

Think of it like this. Let's say you walked into my house and there was a project in every corner. All projects were 90% done but don't get finished.

Stick to one project, get it done, then work on another. Having 20+ different projects going wont warrant good work.

Unless I'm crazy, please let me know. I can cite examples. From what I understand porting can be a simple process. Fixing things is another.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
I'm glad you wrote the book on how to do things and how everyone should react. If i did walk into your house and i see a project in every corner and i didn't like how you did things i would simply leave. I wouldn't stand there and tell you how you should do things and get mad when i say get out or stop coming by. So why don't you start porting and do things the way you want to and stop complaining? i have to say i just did fall victim of stupid internet squabbles but enough if it, PM me if you MUST keep this going.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Newt:
i dont have to explain myself to people that dont have a clue.... you guys send me some money then ill listen to your opinions.... till then ill do whatever the hell i want i could give a **** less if you like my work or not... bye
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TheCougar:
I was looking at the media_profile.xml file from the Xoom forums (posted and edited by bracken21, Thanks for the work) and noticed that the file was different than the Asus TF one. Instead of trying that file on my TF I modified the TF profile.

I have experienced no problems so far with this modified file but try at your own risk, replacing the file with the original should resolve any issues you might experiences, but no promises. I highly recommend backing up your own media_profile.xml instead of using my backed up original.

A few questions for anyone that knows.

For the camera app what is 'high' quality? I assume it is the 720p profile do to the outcome I had. I ask because in the media profile there is no youtube video quality but is on the app. other video quality names aren't listed in the app either.

What do the video decoder and audio decoder caps do exactly? I turned them off only because they where turned off on the Xoom, and I wanted to see if it prevented video from playing or caused glitch's (I saw no issues in the video I played)

I set the camera to the rear and "high" for quality then recorded a video before the changes and one after then transferred them to my desktop. The details in properties shows both at 37 seconds long and a frame rate of 1280x720. the data rate for the 3gp was 7478kbps while the mp4 was 20350kbps. Total bitrate increased from 7574kbps to 20446kbps. Frame rate dropped from 28fps to 24fps. file size increased to 93MB from 33.7MB. I noticed a small improvement in quality at full screen on my monitor, it was a slow video so I couldn't tell if it had more or less tearing.

more info: You will need to reboot to see any chances. setting any setting the camera can't use will result in the camera app force closing. I tried setting the frame rate to 40 in one profile and the camera app crashed every time I tried to access the rear camera (that profile was already selected so was auto loading). placing the xml with the correct framerate back into the /system/etc folder and rebooting fixed the issue.

Since it is a busy day today for me I just did some quick modifications. If anyone else wants to make a modified file with better changes (specially someone who knows audio/video better) it would probably be appreciated by all.

Placing this file where it needs to go requires root and a file browser that can mount the system folder in read/write.

The XML file should be placed in /system/etc. the full path is /system/etc/media_profiles.xml

changed:

All 3gp encoding to mp4 encoding

Rear Camera 720p quality bitrate from 8,000,000 to 25,000,000

Front Camera high quality bitrate from 4,000,000 to 8,000,000

Changed both "imageencoding quality from 90/80/70/20,000,000 to 100/99/95/250,000,000

Turned off videodecodercap and audiodecodercap

Again thank you to bracken21 for doing the Xoom's profile, which provided a base to go off of.

[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
EDIT: Well it's a bummer to hear that it's not working. Thanks to all who tested it out. Oy.

Looks like that tinkersham guy has been cooking MIUI for a couple weeks now, judging by a thread he posted over at MIUI.us

Dated August 5th:

Looks like he got it finished up and approved by MIUI staff? Is there any reason to doubt that?
[HTC Sensation] Droidyou:
Nvm had to refresh first before post -,-
[HTC Sensation] daddyspud:
All the apps etc are all there must be a issue with boot.img or the ROM hence its not flashing
[HTC Sensation] phoenx06:
That twitter account is not the official account for MIUI.US. I would think twice and be careful before downloading things and flashing.
[HTC Sensation] daddyspud:
I download roms to my phone so I'm not worried about virus at any stage
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
Actually it is, go to MIUI.us and click the twitter button at the top right.
[HTC Sensation] phoenx06:
You mean the follow us orange box up top? Yeah, that takes you to http://twitter.com/#!/miuius not http://twitter.com/#!/MIUImods

It may still be affiliated in some way, but it is not the official MIUI.US twitter account
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
True, but it is re tweeted by them. Safely assuming that they codon the ROM.

guys this discussion is senseless. It IS an official release miui.us is even replying to that guy @iEnthusiast's bugreport

That's a port, not a official rom.
[HTC Sensation] Artur_q77:
Sorry for OT but this port works better then this official release.
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
So just out of curiosity since I won't be able to flash this for a few hours, has anyone gotten this to work on their phone?
[HTC Sensation] jmwils3:
of course its senseless, miui is built from cm git ;P sorry, couldnt resist. As for the problems booking up, has anyone tried flashing a custom kernel (ie, faux123's kernel for aosp roms) along with the rom to see if it works?
[HTC Sensation] jay661972:
Finally, official MIUI US for Sensation. Definitely try this
[HTC Sensation] manudas:
this could solve the problem.

I´m downloading now and is very slow... Can somebody try before me ?
[HTC Sensation] xspeed9190:
Trying now...doesnt it seem odd how small it is...77MB?
[HTC Sensation] mastermindx85:
i just wiped flashed this rom with faux cm7 kernel and can confirm it stays stuck on the splash image

welcome to the world of senseless roms D:
[HTC Sensation] jdep1:
T-Mobile USA users can you guys confirm that its not working?
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
I just tested it... it is NOT working.
[HTC Sensation] Redshark976:
Sorry guys, should have tested it.

Close thread.
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Thanks to you, and everyone else who tested, for the confirmation. Sad times :[
[HTC Sensation] xspeed9190:
still kinda small it might be a bad upload. my g2x is like 86 MB
[HTC Sensation] scott951:
works with twrp atm needs signed to work with cwm.

Tinkersham will fix. Only works with T-Mobile atm.
[HTC Sensation] xspeed9190:
Tmobile USA sensation 4g just flashed with faux .14 ... no good
[HTC Sensation] jmwils3:
will you be signing and reuploading to work with CWM? or can this be flashed properly with signature verification turned off?
[HTC Sensation] xspeed9190:
what is twrp? excuse my ignorance. How do we do that?
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
True ? Cant wait for cwm signed. Any dev here know how to ?
[HTC Sensation] hellokidbye:
team win recovery project, or twrp
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
That makes sense. Is he around to re-sign it?
[HTC Sensation] scott951:
Team Win Recovery Project!!
[HTC Sensation] tunamloohnah:
I'm confused. Is this working for the T-Mobile Sensation?

And even if it isn't... I guess this means an official release can't be too far away? :)
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
I haven't tested it with TeamWin Recovery Project (twrp) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1222968 as stated in another post, it should work with that recovery.

This is the MIUI official Sensation 4G rom

An update will come for people with CWM recovery
[HTC Sensation] tunamloohnah:
Looks like I'm gonna have to wait for a CWM version ;_; Any word on when it's gonna be out?
[HTC Sensation] cmart4:
so i wonder if BT streaming will work with this?

love me some miui on my evo 4g
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
I have stericsons auto sign set up on my laptop. Is that all that needs to be done to sign it? If so, anyone mind posting the file? The link doesn't work. Other than this, can't signature checks be disabled in cwm? That doesn't work?
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
I tested with signature checks off.... No Luck

Edit:

Tested with Team Win recovery... NO LUCK!
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
1) Why not signed for CWM since it's the most used recovery ?

2) THANKS MIUI <3 CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE :D

3) Is it difficult to change the sign for different recovery ?
[HTC Sensation] jay661972:
This is a no go for me. Stock with HTC logo for 15 minutes. I waited that long.
[HTC Sensation] aenima4six2:
Link appears to be down.. anyone wanna create a mirror :)
[HTC Sensation] Fuse8499:
I can confirm that this DOES NOT work when flashed with TWRP.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
It seems that only works with TWR and T-Mobile User :(

And, it seems the build.prop come from the TripNRaver ROM.

Really strange, sure that is "official" ?
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
Didn't work with TWR, I am a TMOUS user.
[HTC Sensation] xspeed9190:
Same here does not work with TWRP Tmo US

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonertekgul:
Hey there,

I want to learn what is the difference between these roms; KH,KG and KF. If there is a link you can suggest me I can check it there.

I have, as obvious galaxy s2 and I live in Turkey. When I bought my s2 there was ''XWE3'' rom on it which I have no idea.

If you can explain me and those who wonder I'll be appriciated.

Kind Regards.

This can be a start up:

http://www.samfirmware.com/samsunglettercode.htm
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Ok, I'll use your example.

This is standard across most Samsung Phones.

I9000XWKE3

I9000 = Model #

XW = Carrier/Area code. For example, XW = Europe, UG = Bell Mobility Canada.

K = Year = 2011

E = Month = May

3 = Revisions that month.

A lot of people on here think the last 3 digits are important and that if you have 2 KG3 firmware that they are the same. However, this is not the case.

You need to go by all 5 letters due to the fact that each firmware is customized by different groups at Samsung. And to prove this, just look at KG2. There are 2.3.3 KG2's and there are 2.3.4 KG2's.

It's actually possible that one area's KG2 could have been newer than another area's KG4. The best way to check, is to look at the build date in the Build.prop for each firmware.

I hope this clears it up for you.

Heya,

does anyone know if there is an alternate onscreen keyboard that can override the current one that comes with webos? I find myself really really really missing the arrow keys considering they're nonexistant in the damn thing.
[TouchPad General] littlerob904:
SECONDED! I've been searching as well and haven't found anything. The optical sensor on my phone spoiled me, I keep wishing there was one on here. I also seem to hit enter a lot by accident rather than backspace.

No Arrow keys + Fat fingers = PITA to select text in the right spot to fix a typo.
[TouchPad General] yareally:
It would be nice to have a swiftkey or swype clone for it.

If only there was more dev support for webos. or atleast partial support, it would be amazing. I just want those 4 arrow keys. will make it awesome

Alright, I rooted my device as soon as the option became available thanks to who ever found out how, I greatly appreciate it.

Now on to my issue, upon rooting the device I deleted the Yahoo Contact file, not knowing that this was Vital to my actual contact list. Several hundred crashes later I decided to look for a fix, what I stumbled upon seems to have helped every one but me. I got the fix contacts.zip I moved the files into my system/app folder I then changed the permissions of these files using Root Explorer.

/system/app/blur_yahoo.apk

/sytem/app/blur_yahoo.odex

/system/app/com.motorola.blur.provider.yahoo.apk

/system/app/YahooContacts

/system/app/YahooContacts.apk

/system/app/YahooContacts.obex

After doing that I rebooted but to no avail the contacts still aren't working. I am at a loss of what to do please if any one could help I would be forever grateful.

Make sure all the permissions are correct and restore EVERYTHING you removed.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattberman:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to get my Xoom to load some kernel modules automatically when it restarts/boots. I placed the built .ko files in /system/lib/modules, and I tried to edit/replace both init.rc and init.stingray.rc, but they seem to get overwritten by the default file whenever the Xoom restarts. I figured I'd create a service in init.rc that would load the modules (insmod) directly, or call a shell script to load the modules, but neither worked when the init files get overwritten every time. Is there a better solution or way to avoid this?

Thanks in advance for any help.
