That would be nice.
A great response for a senior member of this forum.
If it is not possible just say so! ( although for this question i get the picture )
There will always be newcomers who will ask questions from members of sites. In some cases they will be the most basic thing (to you) but to us it is a question that is genuine.
If they annoy you, don't respond at all.
Maybe there should be a Sticky folder at the start of each Thread named (questions from newbies) or something along those lines, that the senior members that remember when they were the newbies could respond to those questions, which obviously offend you.
Just my 2 cents.
Peter

hope this helps
if you google for "HTC Hermes animated wallpaper" (without the quotes)
you'll come across some interesting articles

Basic clock for the today screen

I am looking for a clock for the today screen similar to the HTC Home or HTC Plus v2 but without the message counter and program switcher. I use some SPB apps that do all that stuff I just want a big clock like the S2U2 to help fill out some of the space on my today screen.

Collapse Sections View- Idea

Here is an idea that you could work on. A way to be able to collapse Sections that you do not need. So everything would be placed in a Tree like view, and when you do not want to look at a section. you would collapse it. only having the name there.
Through the coming year the forums are just going to be getting larger and larger, and if you did this, it would cut down on the scrolling people had to do. Would there be any way to do this????

If that is not possible how about splitting down the phones in sub forums for instance by year of release?? I dont know if it can be implemented but if it can would be good as you can find what you want quickly.

I would love this. For most people, there are probably only 1 or 2 device sections that they look at regularly.

I have a better idea, as long as it's possible. How about letting users customize which phone forum to appear on their page?
Let's say I don't want Touch Pro2 to appear on my screen. If my account is logged it, the Touch Pro2 forums will dissapear, and if I want to make them appear I can re-enable the forum in my Control Panel.

The 10 char is indeed annoying at times, but it forces people to make threads more meaningful than "yes!" or "thanks", etc. These short posts really add no value to a thread, and we try to keep them to a minimum.

Well I never meant that it wasn't possible. Just unnecessary to make posts with less than 10 characters. In most cases if offers no contribution to the thread.

Alas, Cataclysm has "died" before in the days of the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. Atl4ntis disappeared for a year or more then and reappeared magically for the N5 and gained a large number of users. However, if he can't hack the stress, it was hardly fair to build up an even larger keen collection of users on FOUR different devices. I'm bitterly disappointed, but sadly not surprised. At least he gave his reasons on Pushbullet.

This is a sad day...... for me and the rest of Cataclysm users.

Thanks. I think I see his point about fairness, but man, does he have to be so nasty about it? Seems like he didn't really need to insult anyone, except maybe the XDA mods that he felt were unfair to him. But perhaps he feels it's a race thing (who knows, perhaps it is).
Anyway, it's too bad they couldn't solve the problems without going ballistic. Hope it turns out to do something positive.

This is all just sad...

Yes, and there is a fact. His method 'cata-mod' is and was very original. So I am confused too, and do not understand the moderators concerned. Especially because a thread with discussions about the 'why' is also closed.
This is not a simple 'not following the rules question'. Apparently we are dispirited to talk further.

I'm very sorry for Atl4ntis and Cataclysm.
He's been a very kind guy, always keen to answer help and fix bugs,
His ROM has been the best I've ever seen so far: a lot a customization, great features, great stability. A great balance.
I hope he will eventually be back, but he will be always remembered as one of the best guys and modder here!
