[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Okay guys, time to drop some personal thoughts. This ROM was the first (real) release I made at xda and I have to say that I'm overall very happy about how it went. I do enjoy the process of creating and sharing it - and I've learnd a lot about Android, Linux and development in general during that. This text probably doesn't apply to all people who're reading it because, no question about that, the community we got here is really

great

. But I'd still like to drop a couple words: Most feedback I get here is totally fine, I don't mind occasional offtopic posts or some general questions about the rom - what I do not like though is when people are just too damn lazy and want to get everything explained in the greatest detail without even raising a finger. Try to put yourself into the dev perspective - you're working several hours on new features or fixes - often you're not even affected by the bugs you're trying to fix but still want others to have a good experience with your ROM. Then you write a lengthy post to explain everything - only to get someone asking a question which is answered just four posts back. What's even worse: You really tried to make a good OP, but a couple people are too lazy to read it before posting their problems, just because this is the quicker approach. Do they realize that writing the first posts does take way more time than reading them? So please.. do always read the first posts of every dev carefully, even if it does take some time and is often somewhat boring. What's written there is written for a reason, and you might miss something important or useful, like the link in the period at the end of the fourth sentence in this post. It is really disrespectful to just post right ahead instead of trying at least 10-30 minutes to find a fix for yourself. You might ask yourself "why should I spent 15 minutes when someone can answer it in 1 minute" - the answer is simple: Answering your post takes one minute, answering all posts just takes a lot of time of a lot of people. And by fixing it yourself you usually do learn more for yourself. Don't forget that this forum is called xda-developers - not xda-users. There are two very interesting posts I can recommend everyone to read: If you don't care about understanding the journey then you probably shouldn't be here in the first place and XDA IS a place to come to learn and share your knowledge. If you are not here for those reasons then you are here for the wrong ones. If you did try to find a solution to your problem for a decent amount of time most people, me included, will gladly help you - but there's nothing worse than having a post like "xyz not working" which has been answered just one page back. No one expects you to read every post, but if you're having problems then you should read the last 2-3 pages to be up to date. And if you post a bug here, try to track it down as precicly as possible, describe it at length and for the sake of god, if it's a bug like a FC include a logcat. I was a user myself years ago and didn't like it to have to learn about logcats as well - but it is really easy and makes the live of every dev just so much easier.

If you understand what this post is _really_ about please don't post a lengthy answer, a simple "I got it" will suffice. Thanks to fattire - oh and shh.
