[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
It's funny. Many of the devs say that about some users? ;)

This is apparently why some of the LOS-17 "Android 10" V30 ROMs like Derpfest, Havoc 3.2 and others are only released in a certain "chat app". (I'm still on rooted stock Oreo, so I don't care.)

This is also why one Magisk module dev left here. Users kept pestering the dev -- demanding certain features be added or left out. Getting VERY angry. Many times the thread was cleaned by mods.

It was merely a personal "omnibus" module (many functions: including dual speaker mode, always-on High Impedance Mode, kernel script, ported camera features from G7/V40, enhanced Wi-Fi and GPS, emojis, and more) for rooted stock firmware which the dev had on their own V30 phone, and they were sharing with other V30 users. Officially only for US998/VS996 -- but in reality worked for all North American variants.

However, you either wanted it "as is" or you didn't. End of story. It was the Dev's PERSONAL MODULE. But users kept posting crap like:

"I removed 'x' feature in the zip because I don't want that -- and now the mod doesn't install. Why?"

"I know the instructions say only US998/VS996, but I have H930DS. Mod doesn't work. Why?"

"Does anyone else think battery drains faster on this last version? (Implied: "Please chime in, even though my comment is totally irrelevant to dev's stated intention for this mod.")

1) you either want it "as is" or you don't. If you tried to create your own Magisk mod (or fork) by removing/adding features to the Magisk zip, please go make your own thread. That has nothing to do with THIS mod we are all using. The dev clearly said it's "as is".

2) Seriously?

3) this version is not draining faster on the Dev's phone or it wouldn't have been released. Many release version numbers were skipped due to test versions that didn't measure up to Dev's standards. Consider what ELSE have you installed on your phone that may be conflicting with this mod (which does several things)? Either uninstall it or revert to previous version where you think the battery didn't drain faster -- but the dev couldn't care less about how the module works on any phone but their own. :)

No matter how many times this philosophy was espoused -- it was a RELEASE thread, not a traditional "development" thread -- time and time again the moderators had to clean the thread because of angry users.

I even offered to take over the thread and keep it locked until the dev was ready to upload a new release, then re-lock it. Because that's what the dev really wanted -- some way to just RELEASE the module, IF people wanted to use it -- but not deal with PMs, requests, people who can't read Instructions. With a locked thread, updated whenever, maybe people could simply take it or leave it.

My offer wasn't accepted. Instead the dev decided to only release only on chat app where there was more, uh, forced civility? Abusive users are banned quickly there. And you can't get access to experienced users, devs, new releases if you're banned. :) So, XDA users forced a dev to move elsewhere because they couldn't accept the basic premise of this quite wonderful mod.

In fact, over there, two people got warned in the past two weeks for this exact same "So development is dead for this phone?" opening line used in this last exchange here. That fake "question" hardly original in forums and is designed to provoke a reaction. Well, those two people got a reaction: Official warning.

Development is not dead by any stretch of the imagination. Any users thinking that either aren't paying attention or don't see the activity behind the scenes. See attached screenshot for example of LOS-17 ROM; I could give many others. There was also recently LOS-16 ROM updated, which is compatible with THIS T-mobile H932.

Personally, I prefer XDA forum because you can't write Instructions, Guides easily in a chat app. In fact when people ask questions there, I post links from HERE. So they have to come here anyway. ;)
