oh well vpa's are the HTC phones that used by Vodafone in germany, whereas xda's are the HTC phones sold by O2 Germany!!!
no clue what kgb is?

mikechannon said:
It really stems from the very early days when the only PDAs with phones built in were the O2 XDA devices (made by HTC) and that's when the XDA site started. XDA was O2s way of describing a PDA with an Xtra part i.e. the phone hence XDA.
You are correct that now it would perhaps be more accurate to say HTC developers but actually XDA as a term to describe a PDA with phone built in is quite nice and changing the name now would be very confusing. It does mean though, that we have to remind folk we are exclusively for HTC devices (or 95% at least).

Yes, XDA fits very nicley... plus the website is past the point of no return IMO to make such a change.

LMAO!!! very true...

i always wondered why...but came to the same, and seemingly correct conclusion myself

this name is going to keep alive the "xda" brand long after they'll not even be available.

It does make you wonder who exactly IS behind the stage sometimes when you read some of the direct one on one replies to constantly asked repeat questions.

Where is the cliq2 forum?????

As a previous Cliq owner (original Cliq) i will tell you not to get your hopes up for Cliq2 support here on xda. www.modmymoto.com will be your best resource for the Cliq2, without question...all of the top Cliq developers are over there (HandlerExploit, Jrodd, etc.), and they are very good at what they do. good luck.

This is the first request we've gotten for Cliq 2. If there are enough people interested, we'll add.

My answer was based on the original Cliq.....i remember over at M3 people would always complain that there wasnt an XDA forum for the Cliq. The potential was certainly there, it just never happened.
Maybe the Cliq2 will produce more demand.

Wow, I always just assumed there was a Cliq section here. This serves as a reminder to check before I buy a phone from now on.

Kingxklick?

Okay, I've been browsing xda since having a tmobile g1, and while I appreciate everything the developers do to advance things, im kind of annoyed with kingxclick or whatever name he goes by. It just seems to me he appears in various forums and takes existing roms, modifies them very slightly, and claims them as his own. He did that on the g1 forum and here he is on the evo forum doing the same. Has he contributed anything original, or is he just the hack I think he is?

He did do one original thing in his old kernels here before he got banned:
He fixed a typo in a comment in some source code. The worst part? I'm not joking.

He's complaining about a developer he believes takes someone's rom [say mikfroyo for example] makes a few base changes, and then says its his rom.

That's what I figured. The sad thing is that he pops up on the evo forum and nobody knows what he's up to. If he is providing fixes and developing his own roms, that would be one thing, but if he's just taking various rom fixes and implementing them in "king's evo! 8.73!" or whatever other flashy named rom, he is a disgrace to true developers and he should just be banned again.

Well I'm not sure I mean according to some all I do is swap out some PNG files and then call it my own. I will say this when I used my own base everyone wanted me to use Calkulins.

Well, considering his site isn't even active anymore (404's on the whole site), I don't think we'll be seeing much of him.

I find this post a little amusing. I remember when he was making kernels. I followed very closely, was excited about the next new King Kernel! Almost donated to him!. GE was asking for donations because he didn't even OWN an EVO!. And still made good kernels!
...then one day he posts on his twitter that he finally got his!.... Vibrant?. I questioned this move on his kernel forum and stated this seemed like a 2 faced move. Asking for donations to buy an evolution to better develop his kernels, only.to buy something else.
I was chastised for questioning the great king on his thread! And he even commented saying "geez, lighten up, I'm still saving for an evo. They are sold out here is all". I stopped visiting that thread and stopped using his kernels. I felt that was a really low move and was amazed so many people followed him after that.

99% of ROM makers do the exact same thing as him... They are just taking pieces others developed and putting them together. Most of the ROM makers/chefs couldn't code their way out of a box.

[Q] Any new/used phones, etc., for sale on xda?...

Hello everyone... Any new/used phones, etc., for sale on xda?... I have looked all over for a link for devices for sale, new/used, I know there must be some phones, etc., for sale on the xda site somewhere, I think it is probably staring me in the face and I just keep missing it... turning into a phone addict like everyone else here, now I want to add more toys to my collection, or at least just see what is out there... and it seems that I should maybe start at xda, where everyone has multiple phones... any help is and will be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!...

That's right, but I think the Marketplace will not be visible until the OP has 8 posts or more.

The market place was shut down long ago, and this thread can be too.
Use swappa.com, not XDA, to buy and sell. It's against the rules here actually. :good:

Why such a Muppet?
I think it'll be early December now, as they are going to try and release it just after the HOX + I think.
There is a big discussion on this but I cba find it at the moment Sorry

I'm not a muppet. I just don't understand the obsession of the users here. It will come when it comes whining and waiting here won't change it. While i do admit that i do try to keep up with the news and am regularly on the forum, i have really not much of an expectation of htc to be honest. Either way, it's probably around the corner and there's already a thread about this going on so this is just spam
Whatever

So clearly because it hasn't come out so far in October, the OP assumes it has now been delayed until October 2013? (??.????????????.??????.?dot?)

will come after couple of more months i guess

Isn't one thread enough?

So how does that relate to the guys maturity?
Forget it.
I agree him thinking they meant 2013 is a bit silly, but to tell him when he becomes more mature I think you need to look at yourself, as that isn't a grown up comment in the slightest.

Yes, he does need to grow up. Not only did open a new thread about a subject allready being discussed in a stickie thread he also didnt had nothing new to share, only his rant.
if he wants ppl to listen to his problems then he has to join a support group at his local church.

Listen, Im not argueing with you over someone niether of us know.
I agree with your comment, but your choice of words is not only harsh but irrelivant.
I don't think he needs to "Grow Up" because of his post, thats all I'm saying, a different choice of words may have fit in better.
