[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exekias:
Im not sure where to start here, maybe a course on logic or a course on how metaphors work?

Firstly A business needs custom, just like this forum. If this forum didn't have us users then the devs would be just making roms for their own usage. Without Beta and post-release users the dev wouldn't be able to refine and improve on their own work. No users, no dev, no forum

In return the dev has power to pick and choose what is implemented and what is not. And only then when a user *****es about that is a line crossed.

I do not believe this thread has crossed that line, unlike you who believes that my OP is doing the devs some disservice, are you a dev yourself I ask??

I asked an innocent question in a mature manner. I stated that

1) in my experience on this forum I had noticed that this particular area of the forum is missing some of the diversity that is found on other forums, much how one can comment on how one field can have more or less fauna than another

2) I also stated that I personally am no dev with only baseline knowledge

3) I also acknowledge the hard work of the devs and clearly said I was not attacking them

All of this you have ignored, you have taken it upon yourself to defend, no one in particular. If my actions were as appauling as your have made them out to be then their wouldn't be people answering my query and agreeing with me.

The answer to my query in case you skipped over that part is that:

"Honestly, I think the "lack of variety" (quoted because some agree and some don't) is due to the hardware. If the Gnex had the same processor as some of the other flagships, porting wouldn't be as difficult, or same camera sensor, etc. When everything is different, that makes porting just a ton harder than it already is"

THIS ^^^ is what i was trying to ascertain, THIS is the answer that someone else gave me, you have contributed

nothing

to this post except show that you are too busy being the common internet troll to recognize and honest query despite the fact I said I was not attacking the devs.

This forum IS a business, Devs purvey goods (roms) and users use (download) those goods, go on any Dev post and you will find at least one bug / mistake / innovation / issue that has been raised by a user that has helped a dev improve their product.

It is not as black and white as you make it out to be.

I knew my post would be a difficult one for people to answer, I didn't realize its because parasites like would you clog up the post with your useless and unhelpful comments. You did not have to post, just like i choose not to use some roms. They are not for me, just like this threa was not for you.

QUOTE=AmericanCon;35209810]I'm pretty sure a lot of restaurants, especially ones good enough to be critiqued, start their business for the pure joy of their trade. So your argument is invalid.

Food is supposed to be prepared the way you order it. Much in the same way that you look thru the "menu" of xda (ROM features) before you order (download/install). If something is wrong with it (GPS borked, camera fc etc) anyone will send it back to the chef. So again, your argument is invalid.[/QUOTE]

My point exaclty

^^ Dear Mr Parasite, please read my point I have made above to further understand this thread you have obviously mis-read. You have also mis-understood how a metaphor AND a restaurant work.

You don't order anything from restaurants any more. You choose from what is on offer, just like users of this forum choose what roms are on offer, rarely will you come accross a restaurant that will cook you whatever you want. And as a user of these roms we are entitled to choose whether we download or not we also have a right to constructively criticize the rom as it was willingly released to the public, so ,we, the public are allowed to comment. The comments take all forms, reasons why a user does not like the rom, a suggestion, a bug, a fix or a praise.

You clearly have not grasped how this forum works, its a community. look it up.
