[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
I don't condone anyone slaying anyone ......

But what this thread in particular has suffered from

1. Please add icon support.

The developer answered that question himself around a third of the way through this thread, with an explanation as to why he wasn't heading this app in that direction.

The next three pages of the thread asked for icon pack support, totally ignoring the developer himself and made in way that was rude and demanding.

BTW

I know the difference between a request for icon pack support and icon scaling, the developer has chosen not to add either.

That decision should be respected, and we move on.

2. People post bug reports like x isn't working on android 6.0 (for example) Please fix it.

Someone else then posts x does in fact work on 6.0, and that leads to arguments about how bugs can be a device or rom issue rather than a launcher issue on a certain android version.

There also seems to be certain devices where this launcher just doesn't work correctly, and I confirmed that by checking the other pixel launcher threads, and the same devices being complained and reported about here, were also being complained and reported about in the other threads.

Coincidence?

We are not here to argue or dismiss bug reports, but if someone claims this launcher doesn't work on a certain device or android version, then surely us as users have to confirm or deny that bug, which is helping the developer, is it not?

3. I certainly don't like any suggestion of being labelled as a developer advocate.

I'm a middle aged bloke and an android enthusiast.

All my family use android devices.

I have three sons aged 18 to 23 who change their devices every few months, meaning I always have several devices laying around spare.

Ideal to test apps like this.

I'm not a developer, or do I have any knowledge of android app development.

Many people here are far more knowledgeable that I ever will be, but I am trying to learn more about this stuff.

4. I don't have any attitude or any problems with anyone, and I'm like you, a long term XDA member and user, but my enjoyment of this thread is being spoiled by lazy and self entitled people who just can't do a quick search of this thread or read a few comments before making a new post, but if what im doing is annoying you and others by telling people to get off their backside and do a little searching before posting here, I can tell you now I'm going to continue doing it until the message gets through, there's no moderation of this thread because we are self moderating. we are supposed to help each other here, but even I have a limit on how much help I'll offer, especially if someone tells me my report of this launcher working fine on android 5.1 is a complete lie! (This launcher does in fact work fine on a 5.1 device I have at home, where as the amir version does not)

The developer has worked hard to bring this app to us all but his thread is turning into a comedy nightmare simply because of lazy people who just cannot be bothered to look and expect others to do their work for them.

I'm only seeing the behaviour being commented about in this thread, and this thread only.

I'm using other device threads on xda where users are sensible, don't ask repetitive questions and they search before posting.

And what's going on here is bad for XDA and bad for everyone using it.
