[About XDA developers] zelendel:
Xda doesn't get involved in things like this. It happened off site and not really an xda issue nor will xda normally take sides in this.

To be honest I have been following it very closely and it is a bunch of drama that really has no place here.
[About XDA developers] methuselah:
Ok, this thing started with this post here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71590863&postcount=42 and then I said build yourself if you need an updated ROM. Then other users whos posts are deleted came in between from nowhere. Now even I already got an infraction because of lashing out some people that please ask developers about ETAs and be polite in threads. What xda is all about. I don't know whether I was wrong. But seriously if it was never needed how much this quarrel went downhill. I don't want to look like villain anymore before it goes further away. I would like somebody to intervene.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
Well to be fair, the first post you linked to was an innocent question asked by a user of the ROM. He simply asked if there was plans to update it, because he liked using it on another device. I honestly can't see the problem with this? Especially as it seems it hasn't been updated in a little while.

It's not like he was asking for an ETA on every build, or constantly posting useless questions. He likes the ROM and wants to know if it will continue to be updated.

As for the other part, again, the person who replied to his post about it "being easy if you know how". Again, I can't see what was really wrong with this. It was just a simple statement.

Of course XDA is about learning, but not everyone can read about Android development and suddenly start building ROMs. I think you took the comment a little too seriously. But I'm not saying you were wrong. Your answer was perfectly valid. You said nothing wrong there.

And if you do ever find yourself in an "argument", don't respond to the other person. Instead, just report their post using the report post button, and let the mods deal with it. That way you keep yourself out of any drama.

Yes, I understand very well :) This is one of the things XDA struggles to balance. It's frustrating for a lot of developers.

[About XDA developers] ewokuk:
Hi,

Quick question/request. Is it wise to separate te S8 and S8+ forums into 2 separate groups of forums? The devices are technically identical other than screen size so I suspect all software and firmwares are going to be compatible with both? If that is the case then it doesn't make sense to split the entire S8/+ user base in half and cause a nightmare for users looking for roms etc in the future as they will end up having to trawl though 2 sets of forums. If there is some technical reason why they would not be compatible and must be kept separate then fair enough but I am already having nightmares about having an S8+ and trawling through both sets of forums. I bring it up now because if there is an opportunity to just have one set of S8/+ forums then now would be the time to merge them before things really heat up!
[About XDA developers] DSA:
Really? Nightmares about a split forum?
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
Yes, it is wise.

Just as the S7 and S7 edge, and S6 and S6 edge devices are split into separate forums.

ROMs are definitely not interchangeable.
[About XDA developers] ewokuk:
I can see why that might be the case with the s6 and s7 as they had significant software differences to handle the edge features. The s8 and s8+ are identical in hardware AND functionality. Literally the only difference with be the model number which was not the case with the s6 or s7 vs edge.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
Same bootloader and everything too? I doubt it to be honest. I doubt the ROMs will be interchangeable.

In any case, the owners decided to keep them separate, but I don;t know their reasoning, other than it likely being to keep it as per the S6 and S7.
[About XDA developers] :
They have different batteries and dpi as well so will need some modifications to interchange at the very least

[About XDA developers] Ragazzza:
Just as a friendly suggestion, i know i don't even have a proper credit to make this kind of requests, but is there anything, just about anything that can help us with Volte spam? I know everyone has a right to ask anything, but "Volte" spammers are just ruining every ROM thread, making it crowded, even though, that same question about Volte is asked and answered multimple times, and even stated in the OP, people keep doing that, if you ask me that is a spam, and if there is so called "cleaning" process, when someone is cursing or asking for ETA and etc. there should be cleaning of this spam too, as i do consider it a huge spam, and i know a lot of others do.

So yeah, just a friendly question

Edit: There is sub on Reddit, that is making fun of this whole Volte thing, question here on xda, that just proves how much that is wide spread, sorry for going so far off the topic :svetius:
[About XDA developers] xunholyx:
Hi.

I realize I'm not a Moderator or Administrator, but here's my personal take on this.

I don't see the questions about VoLTE that you are talking about myself, but the threads and forums I frequent are usually for recent HTC flagships. I would guess the threads/forums you are in are for either older devices or devices with mid to low specs? And that users think by rooting that they can bypass the device restrictions for VoLTE that their mobile carrier provides? I can understand why that would be bothersome.

Here's the problem. What about the models that do support VoLTE? Should the users that own one of those devices not be allowed to ask questions about issues with it?

While I do get where you are coming from, in the bigger picture most of the queries about VoLTE are actually legitimate. And banning any questions or mentions of VoLTE to those users would be a disservice to them.

Sorry buddy, but users asking stupid questions are always going to be a part of any forum based website. You'll just have to learn to live with it and ignore it.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
The deal with VOLTE is that it is a new setup that started being used in places like India (coming to the states soon) devices of all tiers sold there Contain the needed app files and changes needed to make it work. It is not part of aosp (yet) but it can be hacked in.

You see the question a lot in aosp based rom threads and it can be annoying, but as you said it can't really be helped.
[About XDA developers] xunholyx:
Really? This is the first time I've heard of it, but I haven't been on an AOSP ROM for a while now. That's actually pretty cool! I'll look up the hack.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
Check some of the aosp teams githubs. I know. Some Los roms have it as well as a few others. I see it a lot in the nexus forums. As it is one of the few devices that everyone could buy the same model. Which by default doesn't have VOLTE.

Now my second try to help:

I found this thread where a user asks for help and advice how to root his TVPad: [Q] Help rooting TVPAD IPTV device by bigtalker

Maybe you can help him.

I general, I recommend to post anything about an Android device without a dedicated forum on xda-developers in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

In this forum I also found a guide thread. Maybe you can post there to get your rooting guide added into the first post.

Hey!

Why are mods not doing anything when it comes to nudity being published in order to cause scandal, when i say published, i mean in a form of a 'homescreen' etc.

On one of the older threads i stumbled upon, i think it was about publishing your homescreen, there was one wallpaper with a clearly minor,posing in a not so proper position.

I wanted to report the reply from a PC when i come home from work, but i just couldn't find the thread.

Yes, this is most likely one time situation, and it is my fault for not reporting it on time, but i think more attention should be paid to such things, i am really surprised how could this go unnoticed since the thread is pretty old.

Not trying to be rude, just being straightforward since i think this is a huge slip.

Greetings to all mods!

P.S: Most likely gonna get my account disabled because it looks like i am having an attitude, but once again, i am just being straightforward
[About XDA developers] Eleo:
I am not a moderator, but you should know that not every post of every thread can be read as soon as it is published. And some moderators also develop, contribute to some threads (even those, for which they are not assigned to moderate) and have personal life. That is why there is report button. And the wallpaper you were talking about was probably taken down by the moderator assigned to that thread, after a user has thought of reporting it before you did.

So I dont expect moderators to read and decide by themselves too. They dont. Even the reported post is not acted by one moderator alone but the report is being discussed between active moderators (probably), and the resulting activity is being provided to you via personal message.

What is expected from you is to report the post, not even reply to it or object the idea, but only report, and the moderators will act and give the required penalty to that user.
[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:
First you wont get your account disable, if you are within reason and being straightforward, we welcome it, as long as you are not derogatory toward others or the Staff....but, Hit the REPORT button, if you want a Moderator to check something out or if there is a rule violation. The Moderators can not be all over XDA, and we rely on Members to report items. So dont come here and complain, without the evidence or link to show...

I think a mistake has taken place here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72379514&postcount=22002

This is a n00b help thread. It has been closed by [MENTION=3946657]xanthrax[/MENTION] because of one post, and there are over 22000 post in that thread. The OP (@dagger) hasn't been active there in quite some time, but there are several people helping there very regularly. In my opinion, the post he closed it for should have been deleted and the poster PMed, or just a message on that thread that these type of requests aren't tolerated on XDA.

The whole thread should NOT be closed. It has helped thousands of people and should still be available to help more in the future.

[About XDA developers] Eleo:
Hello:

I am struggling to find correct forum to post my mods on a ROM.

I want to open a thread for modifications done and tested on a specific note7 port (MagMa-NX). Although they are used on other similar note7 ports too, I can give no guarantee about its error-proof working. Unfortunately I cant fit all the mods into my signature in 1200 characters. I can try url shorteners but they will forward users to a browser instead of continuing from app.

Now, my MODs are not anything special, they are taken from threads like TouchWiz Unified Mods Thread or Collection of Guides and Mods for Samsung 6.0.1 or similar. But seeing that users mostly "want to have" instead of "being shown how to do" (even though such threads are available to show how to do, most users want somebody else to prepare it and share for them), I will post the MODs and will ask users who have new ones to share them so that I can attach them to OP. Also I will put a link of thread in my signature so that it will be easier for users to find it.

My issue right now is to find correct forum to post that thread. I see such threads in Android General (which will be too general for mods on a ROM), on a unified development for both snapdragon and exynos (which also may not be valid since I have no info about developments on exynos variants). I thought of posting in note 3 themes and apps section but didnt see a similar thread there. One more possible place (and the most accurate of the ones above) seems note 3 snapdragon development forum. I will try post it there for now. If it is not an appropriate forum, you can move it to another place, right?
[About XDA developers] eagleeyetom:
Done.
[About XDA developers] :
Mods should normally go in apps and themes. Development sections are for members own roms, Kernels, recoveries, etc.

Depends what the mods do. Anything theme or UI related should definitely go in themes and apps. If you've done any work to them.

Another point, is you should be asking the creators of the mods for permission to use their work, especially if you are doing anything other than linking to their own threads. And if you are only linking to threads, that really should go in the general section, as then it's really an index thread. Themes and apps, and development sections are for members own created work. Guides or indexes of threads typically alway go in general sections.

Hope that helps! :)
[About XDA developers] Eleo:
Thanks for fast response

Well they are systemUI or framework related for now. And I used the procedure for s6 or other phones which required me some changes and there are also other users with whom we talk through pm and help each other to develop our own ones. As you know a mod on one phone mostly doesnt worj on other. I learnt most mods from karkasss who taught me steps of how to do and helped me with troubleshooting since we dont have same device, and when I mentioned his name on post or wrote "credits to my teacher" he said better not mention him at all. For other mods I normally share a direct link to their post.

Well for now I continue on mods on UI and also try to add some new stuff to settings or quick toggles. The mods do not have one origin thus I thought it would be better to sum them up in a thread instead of showing them one by one in signature. The OP of thread for whose ROM I am doing this does not have a good english proficiency unfortunately (though he is a very good developer), we couldnt communicate on including mods into OP of thread (and the mods list will have to change or update after each new addition).

If I come back to topic, it is better to open in galaxy note 3 general forum, right?

6) I'll be taken to a page where I can still edit my post and see what other people posted while I was writing it
