HI all mods

I have read some rules that anybody could ask for donation. But i am asking this for a ROM.

Well the developer of them ROM is unable to get the device and he is willing to invest half of the money for the device. Though he said he checked on swappa but he is unable to find any unlocked device. I took over a project of mine for donating half of the money. But my laptop went down in the last phases of the project. The money which i collected during the work period, i spend it on my laptop again as i need to complete the project to save my fame. Now when the original developer is willing to invest half of the money i need to raise the half via donations. Thats why i asked here does XDA rules allow to raise money like this ?? If not then what are the rules !!!!...

I could email the hangout history as proof to any moderator via PM and can forward the link of the ROM to moderator of google plus..... Please reply as soon as possible...

With Regards

Sachin
[About XDA developers] :
From the site rules,

In my books, asking for donations up front on the promise of work to come soon is definitely not something looked kindly on here. If I've understood you right.

I've seen members start campaigns off-site for similar causes. And that's fine, because it's not being promoted on XDA. Nor can threads be started about it here, or even links to it posted here, even in signatures. It must be conducted away from XDA completely.

Yes, you can say "please donate if you like my work"...but conducting a drive to get equipment on the promise to share work later is not how things are done here.

It can be a grey area sometimes... But "fundraising" is definitely not allowed on the site. From what I gather, that's what your scenario falls under in my eyes.

Hope that helps. :good:
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
Yep, in this case, the developer is asking for donations for himself to get a device (even though he's offered half himself). This is something we really don't allow.

The only thing we generally allow are bounty type threads, where people can "pledge" an amount to get something done, like root or unlock for a device.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
You are completely right.
[About XDA developers] methuselah:
its done i won't ask

I haven't expected your reply :p ... well thank you for pointing me out in this direction. Well its team sort off. they were building for our device earlier. But now as the device maintainer left the scene, there is nothing now they could do about it. Well if i would have go forward with this i will directly going to link with the google plus community of the ROM and let the users voluntarily donate. But i thought its better to ask here before starting any thread.

All MODS

Well most of people here on XDA want to get the title of developer. It makes them stand apart from others. But some users sometimes does not get the chance to know what they are doing . So sometime you could put them to limelight. Well i am making a request here to the developer committee to grand the recognition of developer to this guy if possible. I don't know whether this kind of request has ever been done to developer committee. But still even for the first time i am requesting you to consider about taking a look at the works done by this guy for community abiding with the open gpl. This small guy has contributed a lot well what i think. He is not all my some kind of friend or something but today when i was looking at his works i thought he deserves developer title. Some of his works are ports in the under given url's. My apologies if i broke some sort of rule by asking this...

GAPPS Q&A separate Button/Thread in Black Header of OP rom Devs

Hi Mr Scotsman = [MENTION=278202]the_scotsman[/MENTION] & Fellow Aussie,

Small request/suggestion, can you or XDA put a separate ( GAPPS Q&A ) button/link in Black header of ROM devs OP. Please.

Reason is the DEV discussion thread is getting Polluted with a Insane amount of GAPPS howto/where to.

Specially with changeover to LollyPop roms.

Have mentioned this under my XDA label recently for i think a Logical reason.

This distracts from the Developement of a Clean ROM/discussion/collabration etc.

Hope you See my point/suggestion.

Regards & Respect from bmad = GT-i9100.

ps nearly forgot XDA pm system Will not keep a persistant setting to Save pm to sent folder on my Account. Grrrrrr!

Hopelessness. The prayer for a quick death

Dear XDA,

I am almost at my suicide point. This is the hardest, most difficult forum to find an answer on than any I have seen in 30 years.

I am not a noob. I was making a living fixing selling servicing computers before there was an internet.

I have ADD. My attention span is short.

The problem: I search but get nothing but a clean page with more blank spaces to fill that I JUST ENTERED!| There is no response, except from junior members that know nothing about the problem. Getting a pro to answer a question about the freezing camera in my S4 with CM12.1 Optimized ROM 20150613 is impossible.

I have downloaded updates, and installed them successfully, but they completely wipe out hours worth of customization of icons and placement on the homescreen. The latest GAPPS is 5.0.1 and was just installed... but the formerly stable 12.1 now won't complete the install. I have done this 4 times now.

Getting help here is the biggest pain in my tush ever experienced. I have read for hours and hours and days and days. I think it's time to go back to 4.4.2 which I broke fiddling with Root. Now that I know all about root and installs and recovery from bricks!!!! I think I have had enough.

This is a terrible website. Worst ever!

Smart dudes here. There is no room for amateurs.

Morning XDA

Here is what I am needing assistance with. My normal XDA account is Feldroid. I use tapatalk currently on my Android. Sometime ago, I needed to log back in through tapatalk. I accidentally let tapatalk log in using my Google account. It created a username of Feldroid01. Can you delete Feldroid01 account for me. Its causing my tapatalk to display 2 XDA forums when I open tapatalk. If you need more information to prove the account Feldroid01 is mine, feel free to PM or reply here.

[About XDA developers] Robbie P:
I've been thinking about when a user wants to reply to a post, the obvious thing to do is to "quote" it. This leads to clutter in the threads, especially with large posts being quoted.

Would it make sense to automatically put "hide" tags on every quoted post?

If people wanted to insert text in the quoted post, or just wanted it to be visible, they could either delete the hide tags, or there could be an "unhide quoted post" button. But the default would be hide.

I wouldn't want just a link to the post, quotes serve as a snapshot of the thread whereas a linked post could be altered or deleted.

Just a thought:)

[About XDA developers] Dahenjo:
I joined as 'Dahenjo' in Feb 2012 then hadn't been active since Aug 2013. Came back in Aug 2015 and successfully used the original 'Dahenjo' login, but then instantly became a new user 'Dahenjo1' for some reason. There are member profiles for both users (all of it my stuff), and I wasn't active when 'Dahenjo1' was created in Oct 2014, so I'm not sure where it came from, nor were there any posts logged until I came back in Aug 2015.

Is there a way to merge both accounts under the original 'Dahenjo' username so I can drop the '1' but not lose the record of my recent posts? I don't especially care if the older 'Dahenjo' posts (2012/2013) can't be included, though I wouldn't mind having all my XDA posts available and the combined post totals under the 'Dahenjo' account.

Thanks for any help on this, and many thanks to XDA for being the wonderful community & amazing resource it is!
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
Hi,

we can't really merge both accounts including the posts. What I can do is delete your original account, then rename your new one with your old name, so that you keep your recent posts. Is this ok?
[About XDA developers] Dahenjo:
Yes, that would be fine, thanks.
[About XDA developers] Robbie P:
Sorry to butt in, but if the original account is deleted, people will not be able to search those posts by username. Would it be better to swap the account names? The old account to Dahenjo1 and the new to Dahenjo? A temporary intermediate name might need to be used, to avoid duplicity. And the login details for the first account would need to be changed to prevent Dahenjo from having access to 2 accounts.
