[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
I agree with you mate, from top to bottom.

That's why (recognising that I'm probably among the ones that you recall in your post) I'll start first by apologising to the crew, sparky and every reader for everything wrong I might have involuntarily said without thinking about the consequences. Again, I agree with all your points and couldn't have said better.

Let me just say, on the other hand, that you surely know how much excitement comes with a new release, and consequently a flow of requests, inexistent issues (mostly indeed user caused, as you say) and so on. It's the natural reaction to something you really like.. Think about when you buy a new gadget, car or such and are already thinking about what to tweak and do with it. Or when you see a beautiful woman and start thinking what you'd do to her if only you had the occasion :P well, these requests are maybe like taking a chance with that woman :D

About making new requests, of course just after a new release isn't a good idea, I have to admit it; nonetheless, let me say that I don't see necessarily everything as a request or a demand. personally, I prefer to "ask", "suggest" or "give hints (for what they are worth)" about things I'd like, just to discuss them, or see what are the developer intentions, and talk about possibilities. What "I" like or suggest is, of course, scarcely relevant per se, but maybe some developer would find the given ideas useful, or maybe a more expert user could come up with a better idea, or a good suggestion for me, or even a "hey mate wakeup it's already in there" post.

About people not reading or doing wrong things even after being told tenfold.. Well it's a known matter in xda, but probably also in personal life, job etc (at least for me), so I won't dig further... Much has already been said.

What I mean is that if I talk about new features with a developer, the only thing that I'm hoping for is not to see them delivered, not event to talk about wanting them now; it's just discussion and debate. Whatever and whenever something new will come along, I'm sure it will be great and features packed, and moreover luckily android is almost 100% customisable so there's not much of a problem that can't be solved in some way! ;)

Closing note: these are just my personal opinions, I write them partly because I feel involved, partly to give my two cents to the thread and the people I read everyday in this thread. I hope my English is understandable and that there isn't any ambiguity or misunderstanding in my post. Keep in mind that its not my first language.

Closing note 2: sorry for writing too much, I'm a state lawyer and have a lot of bad habits, such this and the tendency to defend and explain my reasons on about everything :P

Cheers and keep up the good work guys! :)

All the best to the whole alliance crew and sparky in particular, and a big big big thank you for your work (which empowers my phone since day 1 of alliance rom), your help, understanding and lessons in life like the one above (well deserved).

Latest one mate, it's a bit old but doing well on my phone. I don't see how it is connected to the post of mine you quoted though... :)

Maybe in the next days if I get the time I'll try devil kernel, they say many good things about it!

Cheers!
