Here we go again...

Jesus Christ...

WiMAX IS WORKING ON CYANOGEN MOD, they did what they set out to do, all we are waiting on is the Compiled build to be released to the public.

Everyone is overlooking the fact that the original intent was to port WiMAX to an AOSP/CM ROM... WHICH THEY HAVE!!!!!! ...PERIOD. I am sure they have other issues with the rom that they are coding/testing and fixing. Lets be grateful that they did get 4G to work because that was their goal all along.

Oh and by the way, the negative comments that are being posted here are NOT helping this thread or any other for that matter and if it continues this thread may also be deleted. So be thankful for this forum and look at all the positive things that the XDA Community has done for Android Development and not focus so much on the thread being deleted.

...that's just my 2 cents.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xero187:
Pathetic... Very distasteful shutting down such a positive thread.

Meh... most forums are full of the same miserable lurkers that happen to make it to moderation :(

Someone in power gets a stiffy and decides to "enforce the rules" whenever felt convenient.

If it's so important to do that why would you wait until just before the mass donations?

IMHO xda just got took down a notch... :(

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK FELLAS ON SENSELESS WIMAX!

I'm upping my donation from $20 to $40 total for your dedication!

Paypal sent off!

Was it not you and GQstatus that started this thread:[Q] Why did "The Ultimate Droid" ROM thread get shut down! Where you and him were pissed at XDA Moderators about shuting down the Rom thread? and then without precedent you went in to the wimax thead and stated something along the lines of "Great now Ultimate Droid will have 4G as well" you Must have some brass balls to do something like this you have no foot to stand on when you your self have flamed the modderators of this Site.smdh!

EDIT: Mitchell has a vandetta agains CM because of the issue with Black Droid and his ROM Cyanogen and his team work hard i know, i'm not a major fan atm just because i like everything to work on my phone but i liked the way the rom ran on my EVO smooth and clean and just about every dev out there making AOSP Roms are baseing it off of CM so show some respect Mitchell cause without Cyanogen and Team Douche you wouldn't have Ultimate Droid that you love so much

This is Christmas, and you want to start calling people names and saying stupid SH!T about how mods should die because they closed and deleted a thread? Are you that stupid stupid? Are you that pathetic that a stupid thread with a list of promised donations getting deleted, ruinned your ENTIRE christmas?

1. Gathering a promise of pay or "donation" for the purpose of getting something IS a bounty.

2. One user posted that the purpose of this bounty thread was to show that it was a big concern to a lot of people. This could have been done with a poll and linked the poll to cyanogenmods website.

3. 4G is on two of the major networks. Do you really think that a genius developer team like CM would NOT realize that 4G is a major issue? At the time of the EVO's release there was talk about VZ, and TMobile getting 4G. This covers the Incredible, and Obvious future release of a G2, NEW Nexus phone, EVO and if networks are willing to come out with such a line of phones....Do you really think a team isn't intelligent enough to know that getting 4G working with AOSP wasn't already a goal?

4. IF Shinzul and Toast have said countless enough times that they aren't doing it for the money, then THIS ***** thread is a moot point.

5. IF you all wanted to donate to their efforts, hit the "DONATE" button in their profile.....no need for the thread. In all seriousness the original thread should have said something along the lines of "Please donate to Shinzul and Toast for all their hard work on WiMax....but with the hundreds of people saying "I got 10 if 4G is done" That is a bounty. The original thread may or may not (I remember it did) have had bounty type comments in it. However, the topic did become one big bounty. IF people were that serious about donating, then they should just donate it and NOT "promise" a certain amount for this to happen.

6. 4G is basically done, WITH or WITHOUT the thread, it is near. *****ing about someone closing a thread that oozed with bounty tendencies is a useless way of spending your Christmas. Go back to your families and wait for CM7.

Merry Christmas All, Even the pathetic ones bickering at each other, and the ones blaming someone for getting their thread closed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
WTF?!

Why the f*** are you all complaining? The MODS here were generous enough to keep the thread open even though it violated the rules. They KEPT it open until mission was accomplished. Why the F*** are you *****ing about an obsolete thread being deleted? It has NO MORE purpose!!!!!! PERIOD!!!

Again... the MODS wen't above and beyond by keeping it open as long as they did.

Now stop complaining! If you want to discuss WiMax, you can open another thread. No one is going to shut it down. There is NO LONGER A NEED for a bounty.

I believe their issue is that a seemingly major thread was deleted without warning or explanation afterwards. They just want some sort of closure, I think.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowboyboats:
if I can recall the thread was made shortly after 2.2 was compiled. Before the edits in the original post, it was about gathering attention. I didn't make the original post and it may have been better served as a poll but it wasn't. it also wasn't specifically directed towards cm but for any dev. also at that time only 2 phones used 4g out of the countless they serve. so no I don't think it was high on the to do list but it was on the list.

Its funny how they deleted the bounty right after they got 4G working and was announced. You can't tell me that's a little too coincidental. (sorry its my paranoia talking) Anyways sounds to me like a bunch of excuses. Moderators have the search feature like we do, they could of easily saw it. I mean were in the evo section, this isn't the behold 2 forum. You can't tell me that not anyone of the moderators own a evo. Not a single one! Its the evo were talking about the most popular android phone out there. Xda just did the bait and switch thats it. And last time I saw the bounty was at 3 thousand plus. Now you can bet he's not going to see that much in bounty cause xda let the bounty thread run its entirety. Now whose going to hold those commitments accountable. I don't know I think its just messed up. Sorry for the rant.

weren't you two flaming the mods for closing the 'Ultimate Droid Rom" thread! was it not Mitchell that went in to the 4G on CM thread and stated something along the lines of "Now Ultimate Droid will have 4G" in a unprecedented fashion as if trying to start a flame war? and now yall go crying to the mods about shutting down the Thread? sounds to me like yall are still bitter about the CM BlackDroid fight that for all intents and purposes is OVER! yall need to get lost

Tell me i'm worng and I'll give you proof of the mod flaming yall did.

Having not posted in the wimax thread, but following it from beginning to end. I honestly think it was a good ideal to close it. Things had gone way off topic.

"I'm gonna donate now, no not until it's on my phone!"

Grown men arguing mute points, and all I was looking for was updates. So please Shinzul Toast make a proper thread that is focused on development and not donations.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
Funny thing is Toast and Shinzul didn't make the thread it was a member of this community the guy wasn't even a member of team douche just someone that wanted it pushed harder and thought it would be a good idea to accept donations to get 4G moving faster like it has been stated 4G was not a priority but they pushed it to become one Shinzul has stated that a new thread will be opened for updates as soon as they have something. BTW everyone that donated donated to Shinzul and Toast not the member that started the thread. as for the bounty issue whatever don't care truth is it got it moving faster, not moving cause it was already moving it just got it moving faster.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Balian67:
I don't think you read my entire section on CM teams concentration on 4G. Yes, 2 phones had 4G. However, the same time period T-Mobile was talking about getting their own 4G network, Verizon was less then a year from establishing LTE. The point is that 3 other major networks were talking about having 4G. The new landmark Google Phone (AOSP just for your information) will need 4G drivers for CM. Now, im not saying that the EVO, Epic, Nexus S and all other 4G phones all have the same radio. But to assume that 4G wasn't important enough to implement because there were only 2 phones on the market with 4G. However, if I remember correctly Verizon released phones with a 4G radio BEFORE their network was set up (I know because I talked to someone who owned one of those phones).

The entire point is that all of the stupidity in this thread over a stupid bounty is pathetic. It is even more so when people are talking about how their christmas was ruined.

Sub-point was that in a open source place like XDA, you shouldn't have to throw money at a developer to do **** for you, Plain-and-Simple. If you don't know how to program, theme, or anything....LEARN how to root then explain to people things (like I do on #cyanogenmod, #samsung-epic, #htc-evo, #htc-evo-theming.) I don't know how to code, image edit (other then resizing and adding effects *using irfanview*), but what I DO know is how to root, make backups, flash recoveries, change your font, etc...etc. So take what knowledge you learn on XDA, and share it. THIS is the reason for XDA's existence.

Peace Out Folks. 1 hour and 17 minutes until christmas is over. DON'T ruin it.

I don't see why other devs not on the cm team did not just use htcs drivers. From what I remember is the cm team did not want to use drivers that the source was not released..somewhere along those lines.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisw491:
Last time I remember, theres nothing wrong with donating or promising to donate for people who do amazing work. if donating is "throwing money at developers" than alot if ppl will be "throwing money" and didn't you say that they would have done it for free. so that means that no one is throwing money GET them to do anything. They would have worked on it anyway. Not everyone can be a tech head and know how to implement 4g in an aosp or code. Your comment about learning how to root, flash, backup, etc. is the MOST basic knowledge known by 99% of ppl on this website and is not even applicable to your argument. And for those who spend their time freely and gladly doing what others can't, they deserve to be recognized. Because they do far more than the basic knowledge that you mentioned... and your telling me that xda was not meant for sharing roms and making innovations? Please elaborate on the purpose of this existence that you speak of

Edit: and your comment about a "stupid bounty"? Really. What makes it stupid? the 4g thread that was deleted was one of the largest I have ever seen since I have registered at xda. And I'm guessing that dozens of people were also interested and thought it was quite smart. So your saying that we were interested in stupidity? What makes you the judge of stupidity and wisdom? Wait... What even makes your opinion matter when a few hundreds of people would have took part in this "stupidity," supported it, and be happy with the outcome?

What drivers? There are no drivers. The wimax isn't open source.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinbear:
The way I see it is that many people on this forum clearly wanted to donate to the cause of getting WiMax working on the Evo with CM/AOSP.

Someone decided to create a thread to consolidate these requests and comments. This person was not amongst the developers working on the WiMax code.

Two developers (primarily) began working on WiMax, independent of the WiMax pool thread. These developers never asked nor demanded any donations for their work.

There was no "soliciting" for donations by anyone involved in the development of WiMax. Only people that were interested in donating came into the thread to pledge support. It is in my opinion that anyone not interested in either the development of WiMax for CM/AOSP or in donating towards the cause had no business even clicking on the thread and reading through it, let alone posting in it. Anything attacking the thread, questioning the developers, spreading hostility was nothing more than a trolling attempt.

You don't just walk into an environment that is all about making something happen and start ranting about how you don't see it ever happening, unless you're trying to rile people up and cause trouble.

Perhaps the thread violated rule number 8. XDA does not believe in supporting a quid pro quo atmosphere here, which is fine. However, it should have been closed to begin with, not after it became a central place of discussion for the actual development of WiMax. The title should have been changed and perhaps the OP edited in that case. And it certainly should not have been deleted because of a few overly vocal members going on a personal vendetta. Perhaps locked, but not deleted.

But whatever...

Happy Holidays, everyone! :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] land2634:
I don't post much, but this has driven me to do so. The thread in question was up, at least as far as I watched it, for several weeks (maybe more). The integrity of the thread was questioned but allowed to stand. Now, deleting the thread that had the listing of all pledged donations seems like a VERY low blow to me, especially given the task that was almost accomplished to completion.

Although I don't believe I ever posted in the thread, nor do I post anywhere else very often, I quite honestly hope that the entire CM team moves operations specifically to their own Web space moving forward. If the thread was to be deleted, it should have been done weeks ago. Doing it now only makes this site look like the bad guy. I'm not one to judge who is right and wrong, but I know which direction most will lean given the fact that the thread was only deleted once the work in question was virtually completed. If this is the way XDA rewards developers, then count me out. I might earn myself a ban for this post, and if I do, so be it... if speaking for what I (and almost everyone else from what I can tell except for the one guy we all know got the thread deleted) believe to be fair and right is considered breaking the rules, I will take my punishment and mosey right back on over to PPCGeeks.

Nothing to see here, move along... It was suggested very early in that thread that it should have been a poll. It was also not really "dev" centric. We now have the bickering and arguing in the right area, sort of. If you want up to minute updates, view twitter. Take Dr. House's advice: people are idiots. They're also liars. I know I'm going to break a lot of hearts with this one, but, kids, Santa is not real! And, congratulations, you've all made the Walton's even richer.

I just want to say I dont think it was deleted specifically for the bounty, but for those of us who had been following it, towards its last week of existence some ppl became obsessed with insuring ppl paid money they had suggested they would donate.

Don't get me wrong, your word is truly all you have on a internet site, but to become verbally abusive about something you didn't help create or disrespect another person for not paying up (even though the task had not yet been completed) is a bit neurotic...

In my opinion it should not have been deleted and it did not violate any rules just titled incorrectly. I have seen plenty of developers use donate buttons and not have their thread deleted. In all its not the end of the world ppl if you still want to donate its as simple as asking the development team where to send your donation.

quoted from the other thread by mitchellvii...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Ok, so much to address:

1) Wimax thread good. Wimax bounty bad.

2) You people really need to get a grip on what "flaming" is. Read Gman's posts and you will get a good example of what flaming is (referring to people as "turds", sending them private messages calling them "doucheb*gs", etc...). However, disagreeing with how the mods handled a situation is not "flaming the mods". I felt their actions were hypocritical and I said so (BTW, I did not start the thread you mentioned).

3. Simply because someone disagrees with your point of view does not make them a troll.

4. I am not a fanboy of UD or CM or Fresh. I am a fan of what works best at any given moment. I am also a fan of a level playing field and equal distribution of justice.

5) The mods closed the bounty thread. If you read the forum rules you will clearly see that "bounties" are strictly forbidden. Speaking out in favor of the rules is not trolling nor is it flaming. If you think it is, perhaps you should reconsider your acceptance of those rules when you signed up.

Not all rules are created equal. You don't get life in prison for jaywalking nor do you get community service for capital murder. It is a matter of degree. Devs not working in exchange for compensation is a key and central tenet to xda. As such it should be enforced rigorously.

Maybe you can make a list for us of the xda rules it is acceptable to break?
