[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
We all were new to Android once. We all had to learn and we still do learn, every day.

This is not about Android or beeing new to something.

It's about how you walk through live.

Do you open your eyes, see things, think about them and use them to your advantage or do you stumble around blindely, with your eyes firmly shut and your hands over your ears, shouting for help?

A forum is a place were people with a common interest meet, share knowledge to help each other. It's a place were this knowlede is collected, concentrated and saved, so that everyone can use it.

However, a forum is not a place were the same questions need to get asked again and again.

You don't need to get an answer as an individual all the time.

Learn from the people around you, use the knowledge that is already here.

Read and learn. Don't be single minded and selfish and ask for someone to wipe your a**.

Do it yourself, we provide the paper. Soft, 4 layers, scented and a color of your choosing.

This goes for all fora, the internet and life in general. Look before you leap.

Experimenting with Android on your HD2 can void your warranty and brick your phone beyond repair. We are talking about a piece of tech that will cost you between 300 to 400 Euros to replace it, if you make the wrong move.

Are you really so careless, that you just install anything you find on the internet to that phone, without reading what it is and what it does?

I hope not.

But if you don't do that, how can it be that you didn't read the first post of this thread?

Way up in this post, one of the first things you will read, long, long before your ever see the download link, there is a link to the FAQ, several FAQs to be precise.

FAQ means Frequently Asked Question. If you are new to something, it is save to assume, that any question you have is one of those frequently asked questions. Trust me on that.

So why didn't you follow the advice of the dev of this build and read the faq?

Really, I can't believe you didn't, but you did. Don't try to tell me you did read it, because I know you didn't. 100% sure, absolutely positive. Why? Because if you had read the FAQ, like you were asked to do in those first view lines of the first post, you wouldn't have needed to ask that question. It's been asked already. Several times. Countless times. And it has been answered.

That is also why the good soul that wasted, yes, wasted, hours of his life, the precious little time we have on this planet, to compose this FAQ, has included that question and of course the answer to it, into the FAQ. Because it has been and, to all our dismay, is still asked FREQUENTLY.

Well than. So you didn't read that first post, jumped to the download right away. That's OK, we all do something irrational sometimes, it's just human nature.

So, something didn't work. That happens.

Well, there is the FAQ. You could have a look there. But you don't remember there is a FAQ, because you never read the first couple of lines in the first post, like you should have.

But that's OK, risky, but OK. We all like do take risks, sometimes. It's human nature.

And anyways, chances are, that your question wasn't even in the FAQ, because you are special and your questions and problems are not those everyone else has.

OK, fair. I take you by your word.

So, there are over 400 pages to this thread. 2/3 of those pages are filled with questions and repetitions of questions and of course answers to those questions and repetitions of those answers.

Questions by people like yourself. Special people, people that don't need to read the first post, people that don't need to read the FAQ, people that don't have to read a single page of this thread and of course, people that don't have to use the search function of this forum.

People that only need to blurt out their question and wait for an answer.

An answer by someone that has nothing better to do but lurk around this thread and wait for one of those special questions by one of the special people that honor us with their presence.

Of yourse the priority of those questions is higher than the priority of any other real problem we might have. That's why it's OK to ask and to repeat that question if it hasn't been answered inside, let's say, 30 minutes. After all, it's a high priority question to a serious, never happened before problem that needs to be resolved immediatly. Ask again if you have to, it's OK, others do too. You don't have time to waste like the rest of us sorry losers.

Someone, for sure, will be with you shortly.

As you can see, by the length of this post, this behaviour is deeply troubling me.

In fact, it is fair to say, that it is f***ing pi****g me off.

And I don't mean you as a person, I'm talking about everyone that behaves like that.

It is the most sorry excuse ever devised by a member of my species to say that: "I'm new, I didn't know", when everything humanly possible has been done to help you, before you even had to ask for help.

I'm sorry to all those that had to read, this although it doesn't apply to them.

Likely 99% of the persons that read my rant gain nothing from it.

Why? because they did read it.

And although it pains me to know that 99% of the persons that didn't read this, better should have and therefore this was all for nothing, I just had to get this out of my system. It's been building up for quite some time now and it shows, as I've been told today by someone I hold dear.
