[About XDA developers] Toledo_JAB:
how would it work?

Seems like you could just change the 'THANKS' button troubles to the 'LIKE' button troubles

Then they would just want you to LIKE their post, If I helped click my 'LIKE' button;)

Unless I misunderstood it for the facebook 'LIKE' button

I think the 'THANKS' button should be just for the threads in the OFF-TOPIC and any NON-Device/Development fora.

Let a thankful user express their thanks with a well written proper report/review of the development in the corresponding discussion thread. It is, after all, XDA Developers not the XDA Off-Topic'ers & Miscellaneous

I know, I know, wishful thinking.... but I still hope for world peace also :D

So complicated, but I agree >.<
[About XDA developers] :
XDA is developers forum.

In my device's developement section, half of the developement (i am calling it developement, cause I couldn't find appropriate word) is for that thanks button. People post Please press thanks if you like my work, even before sharing their work.

Its not anyone's mistake but a rom developer gets hundreds of thanks just for posting a smiley in his thread. We can't simply talk about wallpapers/homescreen thread being a place for getting thanks for free. Its all what happens in developement sections also. And a member who really helps someone in q&a, general section doesn't get proper attention.

So what I feel is whatever is going on currently is good and should be carried forward as it is.

If we say we don't care / begg about the thanks why in the world should we even look at someone else's thanks meter? Let alone looking for where he got all those thanks from?

If the thanks meter is not used for checking someones reputation by xda staff (i guess they don't check the no. of thanks a user has while solving any fight/conflict between members), why should anyone care about the thanks button. We see everyday a lot of members making fake accounts just for thanks. People are obsessed with the thanks meter and you can't change them unless you give something new to test.

Adding a "like" button along side the already existing "thanks" button is but the first step on the road to a "circle-jerk" button.

[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Tbh, anyone with any logic shouldn't judge a person by their thanks count. I know I don't. Instead I judge a person by their post content history, attitude, helpfulness etc. The thanks count (and post count) can be seen as someone's e-penis. It's the content where you really get to know somebody

Would be pretty good if thanks button is kept and thanks counter/meter is removed.

I mean if thanks meter is not being looked at times for dealing with any kind of issue, there is no point in keeping it.

[About XDA developers] Sleepy!:
This already happens.

Just yesterday, I read a post from a guy saying that the next theme he makes will only get released once he gets 500 more followers on Twitter.

So yeah, it's a good idea to stay away from introducing a like button.

Even the thanks count as such should be removed, IMO, with a system similar to +1 replacing it...

Where posts could be viewed based on the no of thanks or +1's they get, but the thanks would not actually show up as a number in a members profile.

However, that would also have the side effect of reducing the no of people who hang about the Q&A sections and help people in the quest for thanks...

Perhaps a new system of member classification could be used to replace the thanks count... many other boards already have such nickname systems in place, and, in a way, do does XDA, with RC/RD/ERD/Mod/SM/Troll/Admin/etc/etc...

With the new mention system, I think it would be a good idea to introduce buttons for [noparse] tags, mostly to make people aware of their existence. Also, maybe add a small warning just below the Mentions list, something like "Not mentioning someone? Click here to stop parsing this word."

Some examples I saw being turned into mentions:

[About XDA developers] deadcatt:
I tried to post in a thread about Xperia S firmware, but got this message:

This is utterly stupid. Just because a user has hardly any posts does not mean they know nothing. Believe it or not, some of us work in technical fields (I work as a software developer), and learn things outside of XDA. I was hoping to post some feedback regarding the firmware, but it looks like if I want to do that, I will need to make some useless posts in other forums first.

I hope this rule is reconsidered.
[About XDA developers] Pons:
Per the OP:

And this is one of the reasons we have it, since most new users (although you don't qualify as "new" since you've been a member for over two years) disregard OPs and whatnot. And instead of making "useless posts" (which is generally considered spam), why don't you hop on over to a General or Q&A forum and be helpful?
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Here we go again...

Believe it or not, you're not the first to disagree with this rule and you definitely won't be the last.

As you work as a software developer, making 10 posts on this forum won't be a big challenge to you plus you'll be able to feel better by helping someone with their issues.

If you don't want to wait around to make crap posts, then ask someone else to post your feedback for you (which shouldn't be posted there anyway as it's a firmware thread and feedback won't generally be needed).

For every excuse you can think of not to follow this site's procedures, there's also a dozen different methods you can use to get what you want. 2 of which I've mentioned already in this simple post.

[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Seriously tempted to just ban the next person who talks about the 10 post rule in here. Obviously they don't read the OP and don't care. They just want to complain. Well maybe I don't care about their accounts any more and will just delete them.
[About XDA developers] deadcatt:
That's a little bit ridiculous. I didn't think to read the OP to be honest, I didn't realise it was a requirement! I'm making sure I do read the stickies and OP from now on.

Most other forums are not the size of XDA, and do not have quite as many rules. Everyone was a new user once, a bit of patience will go a long way! After all, you could be banning a developer who wants to make useful technical contributions.
[About XDA developers] Toledo_JAB:
I don't think its to much to ask someone to read the original post before posting in a thread.

If you don't read it, your posting blind. The OP contains detailed info on the topic.

The title is just a quick description.

I maintain a multi device recovery thread and have gathered a lot of information in the OP. But find myself repeating the information over and over. Don't get me wrong it is a help thread and I expect noobish post, and we do help all :D

Just do your part and due diligence.

Sorry for rant but reading the OP is foundational.

Android Version Subsection

I use an HTC Desire HD and Nexus 7.

My problem is that in android development, I usually only want Roms for the latest android version.

This is not normally a problem for the Nexus 7, but on the Desire HD there has only officially been Gingerbread with HTC sense. This means there are all sorts of Roms, HTC sense 3.x and 4.x as well as AOSP/CM/Other 2.x/4/4.1/4.2 as well as some :eek: samsung :eek: TouchWiz ported roms.

I suggest that devices should have subsections under the device specific android dev forum, so that if I am looking for android 4.2 it is easy to find Roms. Or if I am looking for a HTC sense 4.1 rom, it is also quick and easy to find all of the Roms.

Maybe instead of Sub-sections, Rom devs could be encouraged to put a filter tag onto their thread. There could be a button or menu at the top of the android dev screen which would then allow the filtering of Roms.

I am not suggesting this suits all device's forums, but for something like the Desire HD that has seens so many versions of android and still has heavy development, it would be nice to have these sub-sections.

[About XDA developers] pforsb01:
If ROMs were posted in a "Q&A" type thread and true development posts (i.e. bug reports w/ logcats, etc) were in a different location I think there would be severe decrease in the amount of OT posts in development threads. Due to the unavoidable fact that 'noobs will be noobs', I think this might help keep things on track.

A way to unsubscribe from a thread in the Control Panel list of Subscribed Threads rather than opening each thread...
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
Are threads that literally order you to press the Thanks button every 3 lines in flashy colors allowed on XDA? I haven't found anything that forbids it, but it's ridiculously annoying.

I mean, on every page I visit, I can see at least 231234 (slightly exaggerating) pleads for thanks. In posts, in signatures, in tapatalk signatures, in the replies... Hell, I've even seen some people add a public poll to their thread with the title 'Will you press the Thanks button?' - and was really tempted at voting 'No' and replying with a lengthy rant.

Don't get me wrong - it's a great tool to express how thankful we are. But only if we think it deserves to be thanked, and how it should be thanked is up to us (it also makes XDA look a bit less... well, XDA-ish; it's about sharing and being happy about it, not sharing to get thanks).

I don't actually mind pieces of work that are truly amazing and that ask you once, politely, to show your appreciation.

The same goes for the 'Newsworthy Thread' begging, tho it's not as widespread. I might be overreacting, but I really don't think I'm the only one annoyed by all of this.

[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
The problem with any tool for thanking or liking is it will always be abused to a point, and no matter what we do, people will still say it rather than clicking on it. As for people requesting users to say thanks. I hate it tbh, but it isn't against our rules. The way I see it, if you are only in it for the thanks or likes, you're in it for the wrong reasons. Also, I see the thanks meter as an extension of somebodies e-penis. Personally I don't judge people by their their thanks or posts count. For me, I ignore them. I prefer to judge a person by their post content. Unfortunately some people prefer to brag about their e-penis size while in reality, it's probably quite small like their intellect
