[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] cleverdicky:
This is getting silly.

Aside from the acronyms, assumptions we all flash roms weekly, and intimately know the workings of samsung (android ) phones. I'm finding the instructions just a little bit more vague and complicated for what is required these days.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate all the fantastic work developers do, to me they are geniuses, guru's, God's if you like, for allowing so many of us to have our devices the way we want, in the battle against Corps who want to screw us for all their advertising corporate greed allows. That I certainly couldn't dream of doing by myself.

But please guys, (developers) ignoring all the 'I have this model and it does xyz when I do this' Can you please consider generally that, for the most part I'm assuming, - I know modding a phone comes with risks (but should it?). You don't need half a page exonerating yourselves. I would rather have a bit of simple chat about what the objectives are, why different procedures are needed and possibly why and how that came to be without being techy. I do understand you each may specialize in different ways and probably different skill levels, and have been there from the beginning:good: . But we know that. Take time to talk to us in OUR language. Not binary.

We aren't all upto date with the latest coding speak, acronyms, procedures when flashing or modding from the galaxy S days. Just simple explanations will do. Better still write your upgrades in one lump so we don't need so many links to different files from different developers.

For me personally (I fit pipes for a living) and reading a little to do what i need to get a device how I want, download and flash a single file is all I need and want to do.

Maybe I shouldn't any more, but I really don't want to know java, or unix or fortran etc to do it. Sorry bit exaggerated :crying: Or why this file needs to work with that file if I want to do xyz. ..... In your house in the winter you turn up or down the stat. You don't want to know the specific heat output of a radiator or how to retrofit a different refrigerant to improve your system. And you certainly wouldn't rely on British gas to tell you or do it. To me You guys are the local friendly engineer that just sorts it out for me.

I only wish more developers would band together and make things consistent and simpler. Instructions that require user interventions (or not) with only brief reasons why, that dont always work during a flash really doesnt help. And every step, module, script or rom is different. Trust me when I say this, I have very little hair left as it is :(

Reading a thread to (do an upgrade or mod) to find page after page of 'help' and 'links' that repeats the same thing but adds just a little bit more. The concept of a trail of breadcrumbs comes to mind. I just don't get that rom developers say do this do that, use for example TWRP and just assume all will be well and easy to figure out. Well it isn't.

You guys are amazing for doing what you do, and probably do it for scant reward. So accept my appreciation and thanks. But please remember we don't or can't all think as you do. :good:

P.S. Sorry to rant on this thread in particular. It was at just that at this point I felt like giving up - on life . . . . lol ;)
