Hipkat thats the best thing ive heard in weeks,someone finally speaking out about the BS thats being posted now days and its like everyones in a race to see who can come out with the most borked roms,lol,like you said,they are all the same,except the apps and some themeing and half of them cant do that either,i'm sure this isnt meant to be a bashing session,its just getting rediculous with the drama some are causing and all the crappy ass roms being released,some guys do know what their doing,theres been 1 or 2 that i've put out that i shouldnt have,but come on guys at least take your time and try to do it right,only takes a little common sense and effort.If you havent noticed,over half the members and devs have left because of the BS,when i started doing roms,it was fun,nows its just a big joke,lol.

I dont care if anyone gets pissed about this and i'm sure they will,but oh well life goes on,you will eventually get over it.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
It's definitely not a bashing, but a call for Devs to take a little more time and do it right
[EVO 4G General] Ferenczy68:
I don't Dev, Cook, Build, Port or whatever term is used so I have alot of respect for those that do. With that being said I would also state that I am in complete agreement with you and Diablo.

I look at damned near every topic started in the Dev forum just to see what is being made. I take weeks to look at a new ROM and follow the threads to see what comes of it (with the only exception being Mazda's new CAJB ROM. On that one I went with name recognition and am pleased that I did)

In regards to the mass influx of ROMs I'll say this: If you guys don't take the time to keep up with each item you produce, work on bugs, add new options, answer questions from the users then you'll soon find yourself out of favor. Your reputation here, just like in RL, is something of value. It takes very little to earn trust, respect and loyalty. Most people will always give you the benefit of the doubt. Do something to devalue that trust and it can be nearly impossible to regain.

I think some wisdom can be gleaned by the following quote:

We know why you do it, and if you want to keep your junkies and not lose your rep, then make sure you take the time to Develop your craft and thereby make a better product for the masses...

Sorry for the rant :cool:
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Well said, and nice quote from Jamie, who, btw, you notice took a lot of time with Reloaded
[EVO 4G General] Ferenczy68:
...lol, 'nuff said!:D
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
I think everyone needs to remember the difference between Development and Port / Theme / Tweak / Mod. That simple labeling would be a start
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Over in Evo LTE land, they have finally recognized this distinction by creating entirely separate forums for "HTC EVO 4G LTE Android Development" and "HTC EVO 4G LTE Original Android Development"

One is for tweaks or ports, and the other is for people who actually compile something.
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
I made a request for the same original dev section but got denied as our device is to old.

I agree that there are a ton of ports and not enough originality or bugs being fixed. What I would like to state us that the op is stating that a lot have some third party apps but that's like calling the kettle black. You yourself have a rerelease of a miui from where all you did was slap your team name in the thread. I believe the original thread still exists. I'm not calling you out at all but at the same time the work that goes into all these ports or mods or what not is a ton. I myself have my rom thread and some new stuff coming out but I don't call people out usually on their stuff unless its a pure kang(meaning an actual using of ur work with out permission) not a duplicate port.

Yeah some of the revs here could put a little more work in and for sure learn to organize their rom thread a whole hell of a lot better but at the same time who else do u see bringing the newest and best to a two year old device.

[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
It's not that they have 3rd party apps, all ROMS do, it's that some ROMS are just the same ROM with a few different 3rd party apps, or a slight variation in theming, and I mean real slight, but tbh, my biggest beef was with the OP not even listing what kernel is in the ROM, or if it has A2SD or a way to get it working, or the version of Android it's based on, etc.

Add in bug reports that get ignored or the person posting the report gets demeaned for it.

Mostly, it's just the sloppiness that I see going on over the last few months. Too hasty to release something without really perfecting it first
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
I can agree with that there. sloppy op's without all the listings of what is added or taken out and what its running with a q & a section amoung other things.
[EVO 4G General] Soap:
I feel like we developers and porters alike should make a check list. Every time you want to post something, run through the list and then once everything is there, read again. If it seems like a business proposition (detailed, understandable, provocative and complete) then, that is the right moment to unleash it.
[EVO 4G General] Diablo67:
Thats exactly what i do,i make a list in notepad of what i want to do to the rom,then i go through and check it off as i go,wahla,i have a channelog,so to speak,then post it on the thread.Just like in my 4 Kornerz thread..... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1612933
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Same thing I'm gonna do as I try and update this MIUI GB ROM
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
What's funny is that the main reason I always hated opening ROM threads is because I'm completely OCD and feel like the posts have to make perfect sense. I try for my thread to make a little bit of sense at least at this point. And I try to keep change logs, bug reports & FAQs up to date.

But then again, I only have one ROM thread in this device section.

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

Current Device: HTC EVO 4G LTE | ROM: toasted-deck CM10 | Kernel: Stock
[EVO 4G General] smelkus:
Kernel should be listed.

a2sd included/not included AND if a specific version is known to work/not work.

Gapps included/not included (you can usually tell from the size of the ROM, but still)

SuperSU vs. Superuser

Wifi and data working/not working

Boot animation audio (can lead to uncomfortable moments when flashing in restrooms, in bed, around family or in TSA security lines--- yes, all personal experiences)

Probably much more...

RootzWiki kinda sorta tried to standardize some of that in OP headers. Would be cool to see that concept expanded in a visually pleasing manner. But, I know people like sprucing up their OP to their liking. Example:

Source: https://github.com/s...mmc-ra-recovery

Mod Type: Recovery Difficulty: Moderate Mod Status: Kang Mod Base: Carrier:

Requires Root: Yes Apply In: Fastboot Optional: Themed Optional: Android Version:

I think ports are great. If the developer is planning on just bringing it over and leaving it alone I think that's fine, but they should be upfront and say "Hey, I did this. Probably won't do any more with it myself, but anyone is welcome to add to it. Otherwise, enjoy."

What I'd really like to see is the people who respond first after an OP + OP reserved do something with that slot besides planting their flag of happening to be online at the right time (e.g. "First. Looks cool!"). They could take the lead, especially for very active developers with many ROMs and threads, to follow that thread and maintain an updated ROM Cheat Sheet/Known Fixes post. How many times have you followed the development of a ROM and things like the new boot animation didn't make it into the next update because the developer forgot. Then people post, "Hey, what happened to the boot ani" five or six times. Then a nice person posts it on Dropbox. Then a few people say other things. Then people repeat the question. Then people point them to the Dropbox link two pages back. Repeat. Repeat. Probably wouldn't matter though since a lot of people never read the OP. They sure wouldn't read that. I'll shut up. :)
[EVO 4G General] Ferenczy68:
LOL, you forgot 'Lather, Rinse...'

Who else clicked the link :p
[EVO 4G General] PHE-NOM:
While I agree with the OP 100%, I think at the end of the day there is NO rule that states that you need to do all that..... This is for FREE, and therefore we should be happy with we get on our EVO's nowadays..... I wish developers took their time to put a fully detail change log, bug list Q&A's section, but honestly if we don't like the way certain devs handle their threads, then just move on to the next Rom :) either way I don't develop, and I can figure out most stuff regarding a Rom by myself now, so I'm just thankful for all the roms out for the og EVO.

Edit: what I would like to know is what's going on with all the Rom teams flip flopping, what's up with that? Sorry to go off topic, lol.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Sorry, but while I appreciate the freeness of the work done and am grateful for it, there should still be enough info to identify exactly what you're getting into.

Perfect example. A lot of ICS/JB ROMS require the patched A2SD file. Good luck finding it. Why not add a link to the OP?? Same with GAPPS

And the date that it was released is much appreciated, although not as critical. The Android version if it's a Sense and/or GB ROM is definitely something that should be there, along with the kernel.
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Two teams merged. Some people have left teams. I myself left td to not look partial towards a certain group.

[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I see it as just people with common visions collaborating together to bring out the best in each of them
[EVO 4G General] PHE-NOM:
Funny because it first looked like this teams didn't get along at first, then all of the sudden they joined!....... Anywho, back on topic, I understand and agree with devs providing all the info, but like I said, they don't have too..... And honestly most people here don't READ the OP anyways, lol. It sure looks more professional, and that's what I would do if I develop, but that's the difference between good and great right? So for now do like I do, skip through most of this so called roms :)
[EVO 4G General] Sinistertensai:
I do agree there should be some type of mandate. Then again its honestly easy to forget something. Fine example would be me releasing an update and forgetting to mention I changed somethings. But most of the time I have people asking for changelogs when they're clearly in my OP. Also when you have gtalk blowing up, email's, pm's etc asking for updates its distracting. What most need to realize, is that we are human we make mistakes. So I forgot to mention an added app, big whoop. Also whether most want to admit it or not the random questions in thread do stimulate user interactions.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Yeah, I agree with that. Nah, Sin, your OP's are cool. You just suck at screen shots LMAO!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
Has any one else experience a forced update? I just had my tablet force close itself while browsing and when Android rebooted a notification popped up for an Asus update 1 of 2 then 2 of 2. I don't recall all my previous driver versions but here is a screen shot post update. At first glance has anything changed?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] edster00:
Your screen shot matches my "about" Page, and I don't see any differences.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ahlerl:
Everything looks the same as what I have. Did you not update to .28 before?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
Yes, I was already on .28 for quite some time now. It was not like your usual firmware update...it only took about 20 seconds top.

I wonder if they are pushing something to our devices behind the scenes. I think they did that prior to shipping out the gps dongles.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yuhfhrh:
Probably just some spyware loaded on there, no worries (jk)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Or perhaps just a partial update of wifi, GPS or touch driver?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stonejoker:
I had the exact same thing happen on my prime. still haven't figured out what was updated...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishanfaithful:
Hi Xda developers and all its users.

I have xperia X8 and i love my phone and using android 2.1 Eclair happily but for so many days i am quite unhappy because of some resons about my phone like

I cant port my apps toy sd card(Main Reason)

Multi touch disability..

So i have just rooted up my phone and install xrecovery 0.1 sucessfully

Now i am bit confused about choosing a rom formy phone..

So guys plz suggest me which rom i should install in my phone which have no bugs and cant be laggy at all...

I can use my phone mostly for gaming,browsing and listening songs.

I like ICS and Jelly beans both..

Is there any custom rom among both of them which i can use....

Please suggest me...

Thank You
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazz.rule:
Well since you've just install xRecovery i assume you are using stock kernel.So i suggest you to use GingerDX v028b.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010matej:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bejjo:
your device is on stock kernel so put gingerbread rom/froyo ,its more stable....cause jelly bean and ics are not stable though on custom kernel.

I found a trick by which we can watch youtube video without buffering on slower network

1. Clear data of dolphine browser by using titnium backup.....and if u never open youtube on dolphine before you don't have to do this.

2. Know change ur user agent to desktop

3.now open m.youtube.com it should look like the attch. Image

4. Open any video and it will ask for video player or mx if u installed that .....select the player and u r ready to go

I found no buffer even on 10kbps speed.......

But video resolution will not same as the stock youtube player....

It was really helpful when wifi is down and want to play youtube ....

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pandasouljah:
Hey guys, I've had my transformer for just under a year and love it to death, but for the last couple of days it has been giving me hell! I was running ARHD 3.4.1 with Guevor's ICS kernel (can't remember version, either 19.4, 20 or 21). Anyway, all was well until I changed to ARHD 3.5.1 and switched to raymanfx's harmony kernel to try it out. I couldn't get my videos to play on mxplayer, FC's on apps, random freezes and tablet kept randomly rebooting. So I reflashed ARHD 3.5.1 again, same, reflashed guevor kernel, same, updated CWM to Rogue XM Touch Recovery v1.5.0-R1, same. Finally used this method: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/update-and-restore-eee-pad-transformer-to-stock-ice-cream-sandwich/ to flash back to stock, no root, no nothing annnnnd... same! Same issues no matter what I try. So my question is, with a few weeks of ASUS global warranty left (bought it in HK so I can't take it back to 'shop') can/should I send it back now that it's flashed back to stock without them finding out I rooted it? Or is there something I'm missing that you guys can think of. Please let me know asap in case I do need to send it back. Thanks in advance. Oh and let me know if you need more info :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Stimpy Katz:
Maybe a stupid question...

Did you do a factory reset in between flashing the different roms and kernels? Full factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pandasouljah:
Not a stupid question at all, but yes, I tried all three
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Stimpy Katz:
I can't think of anything else causing that behaviour. Restoring apps, data and system data with Titanium has been a source of trouble for me in he past. Restoring setCPU with profiles that don't work well with the new kernel for example. But I guess that's not the case here. At least stock ROM should be working.

Sorry, maybe someone else has another idea.
[Captivate General] kaiserXDA:
I need some help. I will set up the scenario first. My Cap has had the unbrickmod performed on it about 8 months ago. I had the battery fall out ib the middle of a flash. I was getting the phone /computer "you screwed up a firmware install" animation. I tried to get it cleared up with Odin and now it is black screen no matter what I try. Can't get download, or recovery, and the usb jig won't even get it into download. I am completely unschooled and self taught with pc and phones and I think I have done pretty well. Now, I have taken another big step and after reading up on what to do next, I installed successfully, Ubuntu in my laptop (xp pro)and I can dual o.s. or boot either o.s. individually and everything seems to work fine. I downloaded UnBrickResrectR40, HIBL.zip, and java jre7.0.5. Ihave no clue about Linux or command lines,but after reading a million different claims on how to install these files i was finally able to get the java installed. But, I can't get the unbrickres file to install. I always get an error saying file not found by regex. Now I have copies in downloads,desktop, home, files, and have changed permissions and types(jar,javaw.exe,zip.gz) and still nothing. No forums or help pages help. They all give directions as if you know what you are doing already. They must figure if you got this far you are a tech or a dev, not a noob electrician who can't even type. I need some seriously slow,detailed,step by step,hand holding through this one, if someone has the patience. Back to the phone. The only thing that shows any life in the phone at all is when it is plugged into my laptop. It doesn't show up anywhere but under device manager. It shows under "universal serial bus devices" as, SEC S5PC 110 Test B/D , location 0,device is working properly,driver provider-libusb.org, driver date-7-13-2009,driver version-6.7.7600.16385, not digitally signed. That is it. I need some direction. What do I do now? Hopefully someone feels adventurous.Thanks
