[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
This is the problem, there are certain members who like flame wars and post on forums so that they can feel bigger than the next person. I have more respect for those on here that have been here many years with next to no posts than those with 1,000's of posts in a month or two and reason being is because the first person, reads, understands and then asks questions later while the second pretends to know everything and gets irritated by next to nothing.

In general (in most areas of the forums) you can ask questions and not have to worry about being put down but unfortunately like I've said there'll always be a select few ready to pounce on the new members or members with a low post count to try put them right or not actually achieve anything of use with their post as normally they don't say anything worth saying. The reason I've been active on xda as a whole is because it's a community where there is always people available to help others out. I'm no expert on everything so even ask questions which would be basic to some but if I had the response given by some of the guys on here I'd have to laugh and only takes a quick look at post history to see the type of poster they are to know they're the ones you just ignore.

As for answering the guy comparing "stock" Samsung ROM's with CM9/AOSP, the best way to have looked at these personal gripes would've been to just say yes or no to what is and isn't possible. The main point is AOSP is stock Google, CM9 is a development of this and Samsung ROM's are basically a skin with Samsung's own apps that won't work on AOSP in general due to the framework they're built on. Tablet mode won't come to Samsung ROM's due to the fact that the ROM's used in Samsung tablets and phones are completely different, just take a look at the recent Galaxy tabs and you'll see. AOSP/CM9 are far superior to Samsung ROM's in a lot of ways and bugs have to be overlooked to make the most of them due to them still being in early stages of development.

There'll always be areas you feel are stronger in Samsung ROM's if that's what you're used to but rather than see it as a negative, see it as an area where improvement will be made. Lots of people don't seem to like Apollo Music from CM9 where I love it, puts stock music apps to shame and the sound with a decent set of headphones which I have is spot on.

Anyway sorry for the long post but seriously, those with nothing better to do, do it somewhere else you only discredit the work by the dev and in a lot of cases it's those that post in the thread that have a bigger bearing on a ROM's success than the work put in by the dev due to certain attitudes pushing others away. The team for this ROM are doing a great job bringing something good to our devices, do your bit to help them by helping others after all that's why this community exists, built around development to improve everyone's device and experience.
