[Galaxy S II Android Development] mcpdigital:
Being 50 years old, experienced and paying for Microsoft Technet or the likes (I do by the way), you know complaining for free stuff is not the right way to do things. Did you try getting an answer from MS develop team and got something from them in the timeframe you expected. Did they ever change something just because you wanted or asked for. Hardly, that is the way things goes.

What I'm really trying to say is that in the case of independent developers, as iGio90 (I wonder if he was born in 1990, maybe) there is no way he can sustain so much complains and when someone come here and say I will move to this ROM cause this one is bad, lack of features that I love and things like that is just a slap in his face. Even though I understand frustration with the changes, we cannot blame someone or kind of suggest he is doing a bad work. The true is that you could easily fix everything you mentioned by installing individual components or even selecting other ROM that adapts better for you. But saying he choose kids opinions is not totally fare. I know you saw major complains related to the 07 version right, and for me it was ok, after some minor fixes.

I'm not that old, I'm only 48 yo, with around 25 years in the IT industry and I'm just trying to say these kind of comments made a lot of developers to just give up their efforts in the past here at XDA. I really hate when someone comes to one ROM forum and say they will move to another one because they aren't happy anymore. Even large companies like MS, HP, Sun, Oracle, SAS, SAP don't give a **** for their own paying customers when asked for these kind of features. I know, cause I've been working with those companies my entire professional career and this is simply the reason why phones manufacturers do not offer ROM upgrades. They don't want people whining about that missing or changed feature.

As the last resort to save this miserable discussion I ask you to stay here helping others with your findings and experience and showing your support to the developer. I keep helping people in the forums of my past ROMs and past phones.

Some posters have the courage to edit their bashing posts when someone says something to them. So they remove the harsh words and put soft words to pretend they are not that bad. Not your case just to be clear.

Sometimes we got to put ourselves in the developer point of view. It is pretty hard to work for nights and after 1 minute (yes this happened yesterday night) of posting the last version people say it is bad, you are not the same I will move to another developer. Obviously an emotional reaction and the trend is that the same will happen again with the other ROM some time in the future.

Fell free to curse me to hell, I will understand and not answer since it is clear we don't share the same concepts or parameters, but in your own thoughts, please double think if that was the real best way to help the developer or the community.

Believe me, I will from now on just ignore posts of criticism or bashing because I understand this is not helping either. Hope the developer will someday come back here too.

That's what I'm trying to say, but with no results here at XDA,
