What's original about cm10 and aokp lol?

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
Generally something new that the OP created is considered an original works, while a customized and tweaked ROM without any major modifications isn't. For CM10 Kushdeck and Toast are both members of CM and have contributed a lot of code to it.

It's just a way to try and organize the threads some.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fr0st420:
I think I'm getting it now. But what about MeanROM or FreshROM? Sorry for all the questions just trying to figure it out.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
crap, you caught me mid-edit :p

Most stock roms should be in the regular dev forum unless the OP has done a lot of original modifications to it.

ive noticed i dont really bother going to the non original development forum. I've liked the original ones better. but I think it would have been better to keep in the same place so i dont have to constantly search for mods/roms

You guys have got to be kidding. Do you have any idea how ignorant and pretentious you sound when you flippantly dismiss someone else's opinion like that without even having the courtesy to offer an opposing one?

Personally I don't agree with his point either, but that's only because I don't feel like anyone one has the right to judge the value of the work done by community members who want nothing more than to experience the joy of sharing and contributing something to people who appreciate their effort. The AOKP is absolutely not any more "Original" than any other ROM, and neither is Cyanogen MOD, you can't possibly argue otherwise because at the end of the day they ALL come from the AOSP, which in turn comes from other open source initiatives, and so on.

Regardless of your opinion on the matter however, you were both still WAY out of line. Personally I think you should either apologize to timtlm or go work at Apple where the baseless and misguided arrogance that is smothering the life out of their company isn't so frowned upon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Read the portal article linked about this and you'll understand more...

Thus has been changed for MONTHS now and you just now bring this up?....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Leoisright:
When at first i saw this change i didnt like it. But working with devs on source, ruu's, and ports, there should be seperation. Maybe that could be subsections. Source, ruu's, and ports. Who knows, may help navigate this super large ecosystem.

To say a ruu is original is ridiculous. Its not. To say source is ridiculous, its not unless there is major differences between ur source and android source. This is where cm tends to lean. They have been able to do the impossible on many divices. In large part due to their ability to write code. Making custom kernels to work on non android supported devices.

An ruu from one phone running jb to another running ics of sense isnt original either. But, porting over miui, firefox, xperia, or other completely different system would be in my oppinion.

One thing that bad about splitting the forums is really it gets confusing for the noobs, or even developers on where to place their roms. I can relate to a dev believing their rom is original if they are actually doing source code mods or smali edits. Only because this can be time consuming. While mods are becoming more open source if you will, some devs really enjoy going in and working on code rather then the cut and paste method far too many do.

Either way, I find it an honor to be part of this club. To be working with people whom I call friends now. Even if its in this virtual world, we tend to interact as much as those in person.

So at the end, thanks for that.

Happy new year my fellow android addicted maniacs. A whole new year is at our doorstep. Be happy, be safe, and be fun.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Justin Buser:
What about what I wrote indicates to you that I'm having any difficulty "understanding" what is going on?

I fully understand, and don't necessarily disagree that some sort of organization would benefit this venue. However an arbitrary rating system based on criteria that are impossible to fairly assess is definitely NOT the answer. Especially when the people who will be deciding what goes where are clearly opinionated and not even remotely impartial.

The entire point of an open source platform is to encourage and nurture creativity and variety, not hinder and smother them.

Yeah, BECAUSE it's been changed for months. I've been periodically checking in for ROM updates for several devices that I was unaware had been released because of this stupid new category and the fact that it doesn't even show up on the Android XDA app. Needless to say I was a bit perturbed when I realized why I hadn't seen anything new and realized it's because someone had decided to make XDA even more disorganized and twice as hard to use. Not sure if you noticed the link I posted to the poll I setup but I'd bet dollars to donuts that the vast majority of users will vote to get rid of the new forums.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:
*Uses xda premium to browse both categories frequently*

Just saying...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Leoisright:
Well, look at it like this. Its their website and we are their guests. Respect the rules of their home if you will.

One thing i've learned over the years working in a corporate world, there are tremendous amounts of politics at play. Even more so, to keep in line with the times, changes have to be made periodically for the better of the whole. Some are brilliant advancements, some are not so brilliant. Then some are ones that are best left on the drawing board.

At the end, the changes will become normal as you become more familiar with the outline of the structure. Its not very difficult for us to take responsibility and do better searches for what we are looking for.

This site has more members and or guests then entire states here in the usa. Lets cut some slack. Maybe these changes help on areas which we dont know. Storage, mod leaders so they arent spread so thin, maybe more advertising pages to generate revenue. Who knows. I doubt that poll will be a determining factor on if they will switch back.

Anywho, happy new year everyone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tyler.durden:
Seems to be showing up just fine in my app... Not really sure why you're so upset over this. I don't necessarily agree with the split because of it being so subjective, but I'm not over here throwing a pissy fit over it.

Everything is still free to all, last time I checked. It isn't like they decided to put half of the ROMs in some super-secret, paid-access-only forum that costs $50 a month or something... I didn't realize two extra clicks on a computer or smartphone would make someone's life so miserable. Jesus
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Its not showing up for them likely because they are looking in favorites category...whenever there is a forum change and you have it in your favorites you must remove the category from favorite, close and reopen the app and then re add it.

If you browse the regular categories and jot by favorites it'll show up fine.

And like others have said, once you get used to it you will see its much better than having to hunt through a million things in one section for the popular devices. Basically if your compiling from source its in Original, and if your using an RUU and just tweaking its in regular development... If using an RUU and tweaking but also doing extreme coding development then it will also likely be in original...

Give it time and you'll see the benefits. The fact that everyone else has used it for months and months now with no ill issues and sees benefits should say a lot to be honest.

Stop talking to this dude lol, he ain't listening, brought a topic from the dead..smdh... Let it go...:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::what::sly:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Justin Buser:
As it turns out you were right, I typically add the app to each device plus all the forums for the type of device I installed it to favorites. However, my point remains the same. I was responding to the question about why I took so long to comment on the issue and the reason was that I didn't know it existed. I'm sure there are probably still thousands of others who are unaware as well, and the fact that other people are using the new system is no indication that they are happy about it

Not listening?

I really don't know what point you are trying to make, I'm not breaking any "rules of their home" and I certainly don't need a pep talk or tips.

As far as this goes:

It is not only difficult but IMPOSSIBLE to search for new forums through the xda app, and even if it weren't I'd have to know there was something to search for. In either case the fact that organization problems is not in question, and my point was that this particular attempt to resolve those issues is misguided, to which you have not yet spoken.

"This site has more members and or guests then entire states here in the usa" HA, what a ridiculous thing to say. The number of people that live in the state of New York alone is more than twice the member base of this site, I'm afraid I think that Leo is in fact wrong.

If you fully understood the magnitude of what the AOSP has done to change the world as we know it, or fully appreciated exactly how much of a step in the wrong direction this seemingly insignificant alteration is I don't think you'd be treating it as lightly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
I think Leo is clearly right.

http://www.google.com/publicdata/ex...dl=en&hl=en&q=what is the population of maine

http://www.google.com/publicdata/ex...im=state:09000&dl=en&hl=en&q=population of ct

http://www.google.com/publicdata/ex...4000&dl=en&hl=en&q=population of rhode island

I'll admit that New Hampshire and Maine are kind of out of the way to most people but CT and Rhode Island are not.

Naters

Oh you should Google something before "calling" others out.

Edit: you could also easily add Oregon, Arkansas, and Oklahoma to the list of states smaller than XDA.

Actually there seems to be almost 30 or so. I think i made my point though.

http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/populations/usapops.htm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Leoisright:
Seems like ur ridiculous there. As stated, this site has more members then what, 30 states? Remember, leoISright. Haha

Clearly you do need a pep talk. Because not respecting the rules of a forum is a poor choice. There are plenty other sites to use if you dont favor the ideas of this one. But then again, you will find things you dont like there either.

How is impossible to search for new threads with the app? That may be one of the dumbest things to say. I suggest learning to use an app before calling out why there are different types of sub threads.

In the xda app, heres how. Click forums, select device, long press and choose subscribe. Then, believe it or not, you can open that forum and choose between the subsections. Guess what? You can even select the stickied threads too. Now who would have thought you fould do so much with an app.

Get real dude. Learn to use apps before calling things out. Clearly learn to read, as i didnt say xda was bigger then NY but as its bigger then states entire population.

Time to move along. Just enjoy what xda has and does instead of what it doesnt do or doesnt have.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojorisin7178:
I have a few questions about TWRP. I have been using it for a while now on my SGS2 t989 hercules variant and I like it alot but there are some things I am not sure about.

First when I make backups is it okay to only backup the System,Data,boot for regular backups? Or Should I just check everything system,data,boot,recovery,cache,.android_secure,sd-ext? Also if I make a data backup is that okay to restore after flashing a new rom instead of using titanium? I would think not but I want to know for sure.

Next thing is under the wipe menu, what is rotation data? I have never heard of it before. So should I wipe it once in awhile when I wipe the cache and dalvik?

I am not a noob but I am not an expert I only know what I read here and other forums that is how I learn. So if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel120201:
You can only check System,data and boot.

System is the OS

Boot is the kernel

Data is your user data

I never wiped rotation data but I wouldn't recomend you to wipe it because it may make your accelerometer stop working.

Can someone please help or toss me some suggestions on how to unbrick my tablet without sending to acer if possible this is whats goin on. It was rooted and running fine with CWM 1.7.3 from thor then the other day i turn it on and bootloop at bootanimation. i then enter recover to wipe and flash as usual but when i goto wipe it says error removing /data/data/com.android........... I heard my data partition was corrupted and proceeded with trying to really format that to no avail fearing my tablet was bricked i followed another thread titled how to unbrick your tablet!!!! it installed OTA ICS and wiped my recovery :crying: so now i have stock recovery and bootloop and the pc still recognizes the tablet in fastboot and APX mode but when i try to format /data in fastboot it says bootloader locked :crying: and when in apx mode when i try to use nvflash it says error during usb write then it says usb device not connected until i restart apx mode fresh. in the stock recovery it will flash OTA packages and finish install but still stuck in bootloop otherwise i just get the dead android guy with a red exclamation point. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Have you tried installing the patched bootloader? Remember, you have to have your SBK number you got from your UID. I found that NVFlashing using one of the earlier releases works best for me.

Also remember what OTA update.zip you are installing. Some of them, are just update patch files, which require a specific OS to be installed.

Did you try this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1699277

Basically, you decrypt the 2 update files, extract the contents of one on to your SD card. Try booting to stock recovery and see if it installs and boots.

If that doesn't work, then do the same with the other update file.

The 50x is basically bullet proof. There is always a method, and sometimes, it's finding the method that works is the hardest.

[Acer Iconia A500] JLow0214:
I did finally get it. I let it bootloop hooked it up to my pc and used adb while it was bootlooping to get my cpuid and sbk since i had neither of those i couldnt do jack with nvflash. After i got those went back in apx mode flashed bootloader and cwm again followed thors instructions on how to really format data partition and installed rom like normal. Worked like a champ, but without cpuid and sbk i woulda never fixed it

Now on Android (I got an Htc Evo 3d) you can not run two player at the same time as the newly opened player will grab the sound focus from the other music players and they will pause...

Are there any hacks to run two instance of music players on Android without havind ti programm a new mp3 player from scratch?

The other more important issue is that somehow when i manage to put those palette option on my Graphical Layout view of the main.xml file. they appear just as text not simulating like a button or textbox.wat i mean here is tht i do not get that black background screen on which the icons are placed (like in the emulator or as we can do in .net windows form).
