idk... i think we should still be able to discuss things in those threads ..... like almost every dev thread that was opened in the Amaze section was from him... so now we can't talk about any of those things because he needs a break....that don't make sense.. might as well del the Amaze sub-forum while your at it..... If X needs a break cause some ppl are tools, then by all mean please take a break X and regroup... you can't listen to ppl's BS and let it get to you, you have put yourself in the position were so many ppl look up to you because you are behind almost everything in this sub-forum... but common, we should still be able to discuss things on topic about those topics in those threads... hate me and flame me if you want but thats just my 2 cents...

Well as the OP of those threads he reserves the right to close them if he wants.

I'll allow the new threads in General only if the question hasn't already been answered and can't be found by the search function.

Okay. Thanks for visiting. Good luck and tell them we said hi. You will be missed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
Actually it make sense in a way like a protest. Like XDA and Wikipedia shot down last week.

Necessarily to raise awareness. To let peoples knows who has been vandalized and destroyed the whole community.

X will be back, sooner or later. That's his passion and he did it not because of you or me, not because of fans or haters. It's simply his love and life and perhaps, his future career.

At least for me, from now on, I will put several names on this forum on my ignore list - which means I don't read their trash, I don't helps if they need helps (if I am able to helps). Boycott them. That's the result from X's re-action.

Boycott the trashes!!!

the ones talking **** are profiles opened recently with only 30posts or so and I do not know why but I have the feeling it is pretty much 1 person talking **** but posting from different profiles, or might be a couple which know each other.

So I guess if xboarder leaves then you leave.

Please xboarder come back! We can't lose pinnkgabe! We'll do anything to have pinkgabe back! We need pinkgabe!

Seriously... you're just begging to be flamed and I would rather you not be in the forums with comments like those. So... don't let the door hit you. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] mike96789:
Go have some fun , hope you will be back, most of us enjoy all your roms and support. I only hope you won't give up because of those few individuals that caused this. I would like to thank you for everything you have done for the amaze community and can only beg you to return, thank you!
[HTC Amaze 4G] papcoz:
Thank you for posting nice farewell message in this post :)

After get some status bar AMOLED burn-in, you will be pleased. :)

----------------------------------------------

Take a good rest. X, one thing you did wrong is that you are doing excellent job without rest and waiting time that some people are now treating you like a their own employee. And that is really rude! They need to learn that they will not achieve anything by bashing on you. You did your best, X!

Again, take a long break as you like.

They will learn something after you gone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
The reality of it is that most issues and questions have been discussed all one has to do is use the search button to find the answer, do a little digging ya know. maybe this will teach some of the noobs a bit of self sufficiency.

Put your feet up and relax X, most of us have your back.

I remember when I picked up my ATT Tilt, I did so much reading on unlocking and flashing that I was well versed in the terminology and how to flash hardspl, etc that when I asked a question it was more for validation of what I though any process should be. These days this place due in no large part to the huge proliferation of the smart phone has blown up. The down side is that there are more noobs and they get spoon fed which is like feeding a stray cat, as long as there is food it sticks around. I may come off like a hard ass sometimes to those who appear to be lazy, but the mentality of some people is that they feel entitled to act any way they feel, regardless of protocol and etiquette.

[HTC Amaze 4G] will_69_67:
Well I hate to see you go man, I love your ROMs, but I don't blame you one bit for taking some time to yourself. You're young and you only get to be young once. You shouldn't be spending all your free time catering to the whims of the XDA community. Take some well deserved time off enjoy yourself and forget about all this BS for a while. When you're ready to come back all of your supporters will be here to welcome you with open arms, and hopefully those who criticised you and hounded you with dumb questions, eta's and requests will have a new found appreciation for all that you do for the community.
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
hey binary, how come we dont have a dedicated Q/A Sub-Forum? kinda just realized that after visiting the mt4g forums lol :p

and yes xboarder i miss you already :o

Unreasonable People

What I could never understand is all the complaints, silly requests, people who REFUSE TO READ THE OP :mad::mad: and so many questions of the Dev(s) sounding like five year old kids, when with just a little research/reading they will find the answer.

And... my all time "favorite" ... with a Brand New bad ass uploaded ROM.

"I just flashed it -I Love It, Hey X (or any Dev) - when will you have the next update?"

I am not the Dev, yet it makes me feel like throwing rocks :) - A lot of peeps here act as if he is HTC or Tmobile, so they feel the need to piss and moan, the Dev(s) do it because they Like to not because they Have to.

And....for those people who create the most havoc, I do wonder if they even make a small donation to show their appreciation for the hard work of their Favorite Developer, I sure hope so!
[HTC Amaze 4G] gregb882:
I am very sorry to see Xboarder have to make this decision. I haven't started flashing yet (I'm new to Android and getting stock exp before going custom), but his was going to be the first! I'll look forward to his return if and when he decides. My best to you Xboarder!

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
[HTC Amaze 4G] craigtut:
I could be very wrong, but my guess is that there are a lot of new people joining and are very new to the flashing custom roms. People buying on contract from tmo are coming off of a two year contract so chances are they got their last phone over two years ago. Android wasnt that big two years ago... I know I hadnt really heard much about it then. So therefore many people are very new to android devices and terminology. I know on my first android device I asked a ton of questions and probably many were stupid ones too.

Im not saying people shouldnt use the search, but we shouldnt flame newbies for asking questions either. Now I am talking about newbies... some people are just trolls and they should STOP. Thats my two cents worth! Bye! Hope you come back X!
[HTC Amaze 4G] wacowell:
When I had my g2x xboaders roms were the best. Now I'm stuck with EVO for a while ( that's ok) so I haven't used any of his roms for a while. But when you go back and read the thread some people are straight up a$$es. All the devs out there thanks for all the free time you sacrifice for all of us that don't know how to dev. Peace!

i feel like i just got samsung'd reading all this... we need to do sweep with napalm and roast all the trolls in here. bastards...
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmylanman:
Take all the time you need. Dealing with all of this crap is the biggest reason I never started developing ROMs. Plus I need to spend more time with my family lol.

Relax, forget about the tools and have some fun for a while!
[HTC Amaze 4G] mischivo:
I'm what you'd call a newbie when it comes to this sort of thing, but given my inability to post any comments in the development section, I think I'm doing well using your custom ROMs without expert (or any) supervision.

I would like to express my most sincere appreciation and thanks for the work you've done for this particular phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Well this kind of sucks... But I get it. Take your time bro, our devices aren't going anywhere and there's plenty to play with til u get back...

Kind of a bummer tho... Was intending on retiring my Glacier for my Amaze should be at my door step as we speak...

Oh well. Hopefully the trolls get the message. Respect the Devs... Do your due diligence searching threads and google, follow the rules, and if u really want some personalized attention, then donate to the guy.

Those selfish trolls out there need to put yourself in Dev shoes and think of how crazy it is. If you are unhappy, just remember you don't have to hack your device, and if u really need to, then figure it out for yourself. Who bashes 16 yr olds anyway? Grow up.

Hopefully all goes well X... Can't wait until you return... Tho I will wait patiently.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Come one man.. you're better than this! :p Only 4 year olds throw temper tantrums like this :) Get thicker skin. it helps... I speak from experience :P
[HTC Amaze 4G] slypac:
X you are a brilliant young kid mad props for your amazing work......

The haters will always hate.....
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lol obtaining thicker skin is a much harder task than it sounds... Especially when it has to deal with something someone is so passionate about. (something I don't think I will ever learn). I will say though, those that have thick skin are usually pretty successful.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
Growing a thick layer of skin is what it'll take to survive out in the real world and that's just the reality of it... Luckily for X, he's still pretty young so he shouldn't have to worry about this kind of stress for at least another couple of years!
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I'm really hoping the thread I posted last night isn't the cause, the simple purpose could be stated as "we need more devs". When almost the entire forum shuts down when one dev takes a break, that is all the proof that I think we need.

What you said about having a thick layer of skin is totally appropriate, and he may be young, but if he is going to step up to an adult role, I would say he should try to adapt fully. Which includes thick skin. He will have that much more of an edge when he needs it, rather than learn it later.

In my original post i tried to make it clear I wasn't criticizing, but trying to highlight the steps he can take to further advance. I think his work is great, but at the same time I think many in this thread are taking it to the point of handling him with kid gloves. You aren't doing him any favors by having lower expectations than you would of someone older.

Xboarder, ill say again, you do great work, but I'd like to see you take how you interact with others and handle situations to the next level. Hopefully this break will allow you to come back even better.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
I doubt you were the reason however it is getting annoying all of a sudden all you losers are giving communication lessons and stuff like that. Who cares you are 55 years old and he is just 16. Such comments are 100% hypocrite. It is his OWN business, it is stuff he has worked on and invested many hours of his life so he has the right to deal with it however he wants. + what do you know about the way he communicates with other devs? are you julian assange or what?

[HTC Amaze 4G] keokia:
X - I would like to personally thank you for your hard work and development on the Amaze. I would like to think that you single handedly kept many of us from getting rid of our devices, or simply made us appreciate our phones more. No matter what you work on next or even in life, never let the negativity of others rub off on you. There are a lot of people who tend to think that they are the only person that matter, demanding ETAs because they didn’t flash something correctly, pissed because they can’t read instructions or follow along with a video, we refer to these people as douchebags.

Take your time coming back man, do what you need to get done and try to remember how fun this **** is when it’s on your own time and nobody else’s.

You’re young and have a good head on your shoulders, I wouldn’t let the critics ruin anything for you. Anyway, thanks again.

Binary – same goes for you. Thanks for doin what you do!

Cheers - K

Not often that people need vacations from their hobbies, but totally understandable. Hope you have a nice vacation and I look forward to your return. (Anyone else see a few biblical undertones to this?)

I guess with X leaving and short circuiting some of the drama here I can go back to watching TV again.

why not just share the source code thru github? people complaining can go fix their own code. the truth is that they can't even do a single coding and they are complaining. They should try look at the code and see how hard is it for them to do work like yours.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
We do have a dedicated Q&A.

Amaze 4G General

Discussion about the T-Mobile HTC Amaze 4G (general chat, tips & tricks, Q&A, etc)

Remember that I can't create and remove the sub-forums. Only an administrator can.

Wouldn't doubt it. HTC read it, a few TMo reps I know definitely read this (have names) so it stands to reason that other companies and agencies read it as well. In fact the DoD has their own version of Android that distribute to their staff. Why wouldn't they test their builds with XDA found exploits?

It takes a pounding to grow that thicker skin NRG. Sometimes (especially for a 16 year old) it's difficult to ignore without letting it get personal. The fact that xboarder decided that he needed a break without decided to leave XDA or stop developing all together says a lot in my opinion.

You must be new around here. Ask around who the biggest "kanger" is and see how well these two get along. LOL!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bdix:
This is from the other thread that got closed.

Maybe we don't have more devs because look how you people act.

All of you need to get of X D!ck and stop acting like jackasses.

The man asked a legitimate question, and was responded with rudeness.

I love my amaze but damn do I hate the community.

Thanks X for all you have done, but that does not make you god or king. A little respect can go both ways.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
You deal with people asking the same question and stealing work to and tell me how you can deal with it for 2 months straight :O
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
If anyone needs a break its X. I'm happy with bulletproof right now and will not be flashing anything else if its not sense 3.5 or ICS. So ill be satisfied with my current Rom for a while. Have a good one bud!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I think the kid should take a break and concentrate on what's important. He had a family member pass away quite recently, he has a romantic interest, he has school, etc. How would you feel if you had a family member or boyfriend/girlfriend dedicating the amount of time on the forum and developing as he has? I would be willing to wager that his grades have been on decline since he started to develop for the community. I can only imagin him spending the entire class time using the XDA app instead of taking notes. If I were his teacher I would have taken his phone away until the end of the school year and there would be no more development at all! :p

Remember that he is not required to post his work on XDA.

Remember that he is not required to reply to your support requests.

Remember that he is not required to update his work.

Remember that he is not required to share his work.

Remember that he is not required to give ETA's.

Remember that he is not required to do ANYTHING!

If he does then it's a gift to the XDA community! And look at how much he's given! Now compare that with how much the community has given in return. Do you think he really wants haters, kangers, flamers, etc for all that hard work? The fact that it's gone this far speaks for itself.

I would hate to say this but it has to be said.

ALL OF US

have become spoiled by xboarder and we took it him for granted. That's why this is so painful for us. His weekly updates and causing those that suffer from ORD to go through withdrawls. We're like crack heads! We need our rom updates! We need our support! We don't care what we do or say to get them... our needs are far more important to us than the source. Then we bite the hand that feeds us and we're shocked when we're no longer being fed. Seriously. It's not xboarder's fault in any way. It's ours.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bdix:
instead of trying to make people understand you, why not try to understand them?

I'm a single father, that works 3 jobs and goes to school. Sorry if I don't have hours or even a few min to search. A quick question, and come back to it later might help me out. But no all you people complain and tell me to search. Come on man all this hate is uncalled for.

Now on people stealing your stuff......how did you get a lot of what you have? Did you not (kinda) steal information yourself? And just fit it thou your basic needs and ideas?

Take it as a compliment that people thank your roms are so good they would use them to make theirs.

I loved your roms on my G2. One of the only roms I would use. And I'm glad that you are a dev for the amaze, but you, and a lot of people on here are destroying the amaze 4g community.

Explain to me how we will ever grow with everyone acting like ethugs or trolls?

Like in the other thread where the guy asked you if you were still working on a rom and asked if you had an ETA. You were extremely rood, and had know right to be (IMO). He was generally excited to use your new rom. And you popped an attitude.

Imagine if you were in his shoes, and you asked a dev that question, and they responded like that. Come on dude I know your 16, but your definitely not dumb or blind to understand that your actions are not called for.

If you have fun developing, keep dining it, but if it stresses you out then please stop. Life is short do what you love not what people tell you to do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mako62:
Hilarious a punk 16 year old that makes ROMs where 3/4s of the features don't work and he keeps this community alive? LMFAO. They don't answer questions because THIS is the only thing in life that can make them think they're superior.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Be disrespectful like that to another member again and I will personally ban you forever. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mako62:
Ban me you ****ing dip**** like I could care. Exercise thy power you ****ing bonehead. You need charity to get a phone in your hand.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Each member is required to follow the rules of XDA developers.

The number #1 rule.

1. Search before posting.

Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

If you don't have time to search then how do you find time to post?

As a father I'm sure you get annoyed by your children constantly asking for things that you have to constantly repeat. So you're saying that you should understand your children and just keep repeating yourself? There must've been times that you've lost your patience. It's only human to do so. I don't know anyone that WANTS to waste their time repeating themselves because whats the use of posting information anyway if people don't read what was posted? It's literally insulting. Which is why he came back "rood" in your opinion.

Xboarder NEVER stole anything! All information is under the AOSP which is free and available. Xboarder re-coded it to get where we are today. If he received any assistance he posted the appropriate credit. Hundreds of hours of coding, compiling, trial and error went into getting us where we are today. And to have someone download your work, rename it and claim it as their own would piss any developer off.

Asking for ETA's are not against forum rules per say however if the OP posts in post #1 not to ask and someone does anyway... that's extremely rude. It's a pet peeve of every developer to be asked a question that was already answered in post #1. In fact to download the rom you have to at least see post #1. How can you see the post and not read it? Then if you do manage to see the post and not read it how dare you post a question requesting an answer because you were too lazy to read or search? I will purposely refuse to spoon feed anyone and I don't blame him for it. The ones that ask to be spoonfed and refuse to learn for themselves are considered noobs and by the very definition are never liked in an online community. His reaction was appropriate in my opinion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Really? Alright... as you wish.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bdix:
Yes I do get annoyed at times with my child, but if I never answered her question how would she learn?

Its literally like I'm talking to a politician. You hear what I'm saying but refuse to understand that I'm not trying to be unproductive, I'm trying to help.

Ive been on forums since 2004 and i understand how they work and can get annoying. Hell I've even said "search before posting" thousands of times, but at some point I just stopped telling people . Why post anything at all? Say it once and move on. Let someone else answer. No need for someone like your self to repeat the same thing over and over again. Hell you repeat that phrase more then people ask the same question.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AJ26T:
Reading all this just gave me a instant headache.

So as I see it if any of the people here that are flaming and are in school do you go to school 365 days a year? No you get vacations.

Any one here flaming have a job? Do you never take a vacation or want time away?

Will doing all this that X does help him in the working world probably if he goes into a field like this but as of now he doesn't get paid, but just flamed.

Give the kid a break n let him be. U want roms go code or port them yourself

Thanks X for all
[HTC Amaze 4G] bunyan69:
As a parent I think that this is the perfect analogy
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
These types of threads are depressing as a human. We all learned as kids "if u have nothing nice to say, don't speak" and "treat others as they want to be treated." I've never seen so many degenerates who are receiving free goods and services complain to the person giving.

I may be new here, but have heard about this kind of stuff by devs on a thrive forum about this site and that's why they dev on that site. I personally am all for a troll napalm on this site. Maybe more Mods to help current mods remove the bad apples.

If you don't like a devs work, then find a new dev. Nobody HAS to use anybody's stuff. I know I've benefited from numerous noon tools from X and they all worked like a charm. If they didn't, I would say oh well and wait for another. No need to bash each other, for most devs are trying their hardest. I wouldn't be shocked if X is still trying WHILE on this vacation, to help everyone. So let us embrace and take the negative ass attitudes elsewhere.

PS... XDA Mods are the definition of thick skin. Can't believe how many chances they give flamers and trolls, only to have those people take advantage of the Mods kindness.

Sorry so long and thanks to the Admin, Mods, Devs, and testers on this site. Let's all work together to improve this great resource we all have.
