[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] USCanthony:
When you are a developer, criticism and complaints should be expected. That is something that comes with the job. Users do not think to say thank you or good job because they expect the app or ROM to function properly. When there is an issue with some part of the app or ROM it is the developer that users contact because they are not sure if the developer is even aware of the problem and who else would they contact in the first place? You should not take it personally. When I post in this forum it is usually about a problem with the ROM that I ran into and I am not sure if you know about it. I never think less of any developer because their ROM has some bugs. ROM's and bugs go hand in hand and it is close to impossible for developers to add new features and continue to develop a ROM without unforseen bugs sometimes slipping in. Everyone who flashes ROM's or uses apps like Magisk to enhance their phone should already be very aware of this. That does not mean that they should not inform you of problems they encounter though. It always feels good to have your hard work and long hours acknowledged though so it should not be a problem to thank the developer for their efforts when you do report a problem. If any user feels that they need to rant and rave and bully any developer because they are unhappy with the product, perhaps you should just move on and try a different ROM. If you piss off the developer enough there is a chance that the developer may way their hands of the whole project. While you may not care of the ROM continues to be developed, most of the users of this ROM do care and they are using this ROM because they like it. It is best to move on instead of angering a ROM's whole user base. As for the developer of this ROM, I do have one criticism of something you do not do which probably adds to the amount of complaints you get when something doesn't work properly. When I first upgraded from the 4.x to 5.x version of this ROM I noticed that the timeline feature was not working. I saw that several users had already posted messages about it not working so I did not post any additional message. Several months and many different versions later and the timeline feature still does not work. You also never acknowledged the two posts I saw about this problem. It was at that point that I posted a new message about this. Three other users followed up my post with their own observations about the timeline feature not working. None of us has received a reply from you letting us know that you will look into the problem. I do not know if you even saw my post. If you don't acknowledge that you have seen a users post and let them know that you will try and figure out what is going on, users are going to continue posting about the problem. I am a patient man. I am fine with the feature not working at the moment as long as I know that you are aware of it and will look into it. Entry ROM has its own issues and simply moving on because of one thing not working properly isn't always the smart thing to do. I appreciate all of the things that do work well in your ROM. It is going to take a lot more than my single issue to get me to try other ROM's because through trial and error I know that many of the other ROM's have much bigger problems out lack the features that I value in your ROM. Take time off if you are feeling the stress but understand that you cannot take the complaints and criticism personally. They are rarely meant to be personal.
