Thank you system is unbalanced - About xda-developers.com

The "thank you" system currently seems to be unbalanced. The problem is, users who make up cool stuff that isn't actually tested are getting voted quickly (without question), because many of them act as though they were properly tested in the past (but haven't). There is no means to revoke such "thanks", and users who repeatedly make up crap, are receiving numerous thanks. It's also quite easy to accidentally click the thanks button (as no confirmation is required). At the very least, we SHOULD be able to revoke "thanks". That way if someone is thanked, but are later proved to be making stuff up, at least users can revoke their thanks.
Ideally, we need an indicator that CAN become negative. Because there are currently quite a few users out there posting complete crap, which newbies will thank them for (because some of them are speaking with such authority, and claiming "that they proved it earlier", that they get praised for nothing.
If information accuracy is important on XDA, this needs fixing. At least a way to request citation, or references to claims being made would be nice.

+1
I've on many occasions pressed the "Thanks" button by mistake when I meant to press the quote button.
We need a thanks mod installed that can also revoke given thanks aswell as a confirmation.

i think a confirmation, when thanking someone is a good idea, but not revoking thanks, this could be used as a form of bullying or harrasment.

it's happened on other message boards who allowed Thanks/UN-thanks. Someone will say something that rubs someone wrong and then that other person will unthank every post until it's a large negative number giving the illusion that they shouldn't be heard.
I use the thanks button as an anti-clutter device in threads at times. I'll give thanks on posts that I agree with so I don't give a redundant and uninformative post with a quote and +1. Just clutters things up IMO.
Perhaps just change the name to "I like this" or something.

Because he's been on the internet for more than 1 hour. un-thanks, as he has said, could indeed cause some serious problems.
But I do agree that that Thanks button is easy to hit. This has been brought to the attention of the people upstairs and they are trying to work out a solution.

Yep. You can use the old XDA style if you want to try and avoid it.
I had to block the thanks button via my adblocker, as it is right were I am used to seeing the edit button on each post, so it's too easy to tap when going to edit something.

We do need a nice way though to vote posts as unproven.. Not sure about other forums, but there are a huge percentage of posts on i9000 which are total bs being presented as fact, our untested.. It's ruining the quality if xda and mods aren't reacting, or requiring they prove there claims. There are even known repeat offenders Who seem to like all the thanks they are getting. Harassment can be stopped by limiting it to 2 thanks/fiction credits per user. That also stops gangs of purple teaming up and boosting each others stats to make themselves seem more credible

The trouble with this is that the vast majority of what is posted here isn't proven to what I would define as proven in an academic context.
Little of what is done here is tbh, but if there is people making BS claims, let us know. I've not seen any reports about this that I can remember of, so please remember to use the report button if you see anything, as often we miss things, given the sheer size of XDA

This seems like an insane solution.
I agree that there shouldn't be an unthanks button in the sense that you can make the post seem negative - but what about the ability to remove thanks?
I have wanted to quote posts and hit 'Thanks' by accident on several occasions, thanking posts that really don't deserve to be thanked. Other forums that have the thanks button allow you to "remove" your thanks - in case you changed your mind, or thanked the post by accident.
I like the concept of thanking posts, it just seems poorly implemented on xda-devs - growing pains I'm sure, I just hope that it keeps evolving - the current system IMHO is broken.
...Thanks!

I did a few because of the stuff DamianGTO was saying, and yet, nothing ever changed. You need to make it part of the rules, that posts might be deleted if they are presented as factual nature, yet are unproven, and the poster REFUSES to change it to present it as opinion.

Hmm... I can only see one reported post by you, for a duplicated thread...
Regarding presenting stuff as fact, feel free to drop me a PM or send a report for any examples (send a PM as well so I can check it arrives properly).
If people are misleading other members, that is an infractable offence which can ultimately lead to banning

The ELF is in the house!

After a short, and forced, vacation I'm back! LOL Anyways.. My ELF rom will be recooked shortly. Primary support will STILL be at htc-devs.com (I like it there ). It is a totally different style of rom cooking.. Mostly relying on extrom and .cabs to allow for greater end-user flexibility. My rom won't be for everyone, but, it should allow for a nice option--unique from other roms on here.
Creativity is the name of this rom..

There ARE newbies like myself, who bricked their phones upgrading (I had a PC crash) and figured out how to fix it by going through the WIKI even though some create threads doesn't mean every newbie does it :>
n00bs are critical to the success of XDA-Developers. We tolerate and help them because our best developers were once n00bs. Devices are constantly changing and our "experts" constantly change too.
When m$ officially releases WM6 this forum will die back down to what it is 99% of the time. Then we will quietly begin taking apart the next generation of hardware and will start looking at the next generation of Windows Mobile.
The n00bs that we tolerated will drift away except those who can contribute. You will never find this on forums with zero n00b tolerance.
I dont think n00b has EVER turned into something useful, however once we were all newbies (yes there is a difference) who didnt know what we were doing, but wanted to learn how, not sit there demanding 'HI LOL GIVE ME GUIDE FOR TO PUT MW^ ON MY SONY ERICSSON NOW LOL' then five minutes later 'WHY IS NOONE REPLY YET?

In the strictest definition you are correct. I'm a half full glass kind of guy tho and I'm always thinking one will switch over. I'm sure that somewhere this has happened. More importantly, n00b bashing means that some newbies may be afraid to post and might just quietly slink away...
The great thing about the internet and the millions of subject based forums is that folks from all over the world can get together and share information on the subject of their choice. This free flow of information coupled with our fast paced lifestyle does lend to folks wanting to ask rather than search since they see it as the fastest way to get the information they seek. For the most part a gentle nudge in the right direction is all they need. The downside is that forums also provide a venue for those who lack knowledge to demonstrate their self perceived superiority anonymously. It's far easier and less costly to ignore a post that you think doesn't deserve a response. If you feel the need to reply you should respect the individuals who are providing the equipment, time, and bandwidth that makes the forum you are using possible. You do this by posting intelligent and informative responses.

[REQ] Dialer themed like payphone

I am surprised nobody has done this yet...but how about a Dialer that looks like the keypad on a public phone?
This is a screenie from one that was done for the iPhone. If I knew more about the structure of an APK, and how the images were, I would try it myself.

This sounds like a similar request someone made sometime ago, I'll have to look for it because I remember someone made it.
I could do it. I've done lots of phone skins back in my WinMobile days. But I have a great fear that if I did, it would catch on like the incredibly stupid 70's flip clock. Can you imagine anything more ignorant than making a beautiful and versatile digital device look like a completely mechanical and annoying piece of counter technology from the 60's and 70's. The only thing worse would be nixie tubes. Yes, I have seen the nixie tube clock skins. Thank God that did not catch on...
This would be cool =]
I actually looked into skinning the phone. It's not as simple as replacing some .png files. It would require quite a bit more work. Sorry dude, not for me.

Thank you, I appreciate everyone's work, regardless of if it's my taste or not. The effort everyone puts in to do their own things, is what has made out little Android grow into what we can do today. Ive also found the same, I'd rather use twitter to find stuff out.
Okay, as the OP here, I think it is well within my right to say that this tread has veered WAY off course of its original intention, heh. It was not my intent to have a flame war start, even if it was mildly entertaining for a few minutes
Anyways, for the dev's that have been kind enough to contribute to this discussion: I have used 99% of the ROMs available for the G1, and I thank each and every one of you for your hard work. It is greatly appreciated by more people that I am sure you had ever imagined. Keep up the good work.
Now, back on topic. A refresher:

It might have something to do with the OP spamming the board every day with links to his pay site, and creating a new thread every day. Just doesn't sit well with a lot of folks.
Seems kind of immature. If the OP is violating site rules, report him to the mods. If he's not, either shut up and color or lobby for a change to the rules so as to bring him into the wrong. I appreciate greatly that a lot of mods, etc., are offered here for free, but I don't think every mod has to be free, and, in fact, the OP is offering a free mod in addition to linking to his pay site.

Thank you. I am not trying to make a huge profit with my paid mods. Just enough to be able to keep on creating them. I am not sure what any complaints are about. I do not feel like I am breaking any rules at all.
I am posting a quality mod for multiple roms completely free of charge. Yes, I have a link to my site, but it is in my signature and at no time am I charging for anything in the forum nor promoting any specific paid mod. I really don't see how this doesn't sit well with some people.
As for different posts, I am releasing different mods which may make my post become very clustered. Not sure how seeing a free mod almost every day is annoying. I apologize for any offense to anyone. I really am just trying to provide quality mods and help people make their phones look as nice as possible.

Some constructive criticism- Not my intent to hate on you for free mods. Maybe instead of a new thread every day, create one thread for your mods and update it whenever you want. Those who like your mods will know to star the thread and come back to it whenever they wish. As for the fuzzy graphics, you might consider using vector images as opposed to raster so they don't pixelate. Not condescending at all, just hopefully helpful criticism.

Works the bomb, has battery optimization options as well... Sorry you don't like his work... I love this. Don't think Sammy is gonna come out with it at this point. They have been talking out of their A S S since the S10 came out about this option... Maybe in a long long time....
Holey light is the best one from chainfire he's a grate developer and a asset to xda community, its plain and simple with minimal drain unlike others , support his grate work !!

I think it's comparing two different things, despite the boombastic title of this thread. Why forget Energy Ring? It is a battery indicator, if you need that better not forget that app. Chainfires app is very advanced and well developed, but serves a different purpose, it reacts to apps notifications that try to trigger the LED.

He's an asset but not to any community, you shouldn't think he does this for pure boredom or internet appreciation, he's hasn't always been very transparent about his apps.
Besides that problem, the app itself has limited functions and everyone who tested it reported noticeable drain.
Samsung should implement it because they have full access to the system and their solution shouldn't need hacks(like faking the lock screen) to work, it seems stupid for them to waste the chance of using the cutout for notifications after teasing it for so long.
I agree they should implement notifications but will they? , edge lighting notifications already present not that it works like

Besides that problem, the app itself has limited functions and everyone who tested it reported noticeable drain.
Samsung should implement it because they have full access to the system and their solution shouldn't need hacks(like faking the lock screen) to work, it seems stupid for them to waste the chance of using the cutout for notifications after teasing it for so long.

BOOOO, @Chainfire has made more strides and implications than you obviously know. He's made things possible over the years that NO ONE can do! You speak your mind that's the 5th amendment, but you arare TROLLING BS. Sorry sad but true. You dont want to utilize his implementations and knowledge cause he's "bored or not transparent" LMFAO, that's your prerogative, there is NO battery drain and since your SO Obsessed with that of course you haven't even tried it. BTW the implementation of the lockscreen and AOD function perfectly... Samsung sucked the bag on this and you shun upon @Chainfire. Lol have fun optimizing and not utilizing the true battery life of this phone disabling all these common features. that make this device great and I I will not even consider or respond to your silly posts lol:laugh: bye bye

I read ridiculously stupid posts almost every day on XDA but yours is by far the dumbest wall of text coming from a senselessly triggered unrelated person I've ever seen.
You even brought some followers with you to like your comment, very nice but that's just silly.
I personally couldn't care less about Chainfire or his work and I have no reason to hate him either, simply no reasons for me to lick arses around like you just did.
@topjohnwu is both a better Dev and a more honest member, if you really want to worship anyone then he's the first man to deserve that.
And no, the guide doesn't involve disabling any "common features", whatever you meant with that, it's all about introducing common sense in power management, every paragraph is optional and unrelated to the other, it doesn't involve root or damage to the device in any way.
Hold your horses ppl, i think both Chainfire and topjohnwu are great members of this community.
There is absolutely no reason to pick one over another.
I simply do not allow bashing or downplaying any of them!
So please play nice shall we?! :good:

So ignore this thread and carry on then. There's no need to post stupid shit like:
Nah I wouldn't don't touch anything remotely related to Chainfire.

I'm an S10+ owner. I use these particular forums every day as an S10+ owner. And also as a user of the app mentioned in the OP.
And also as a moderator of the forums.
That's how it's related to me.
OP just got excited about coming across the app, and wanted to point it out to others. This thread did no harm. While comments like yours do.
Corv0 said:

I'd say you can continue moderating your own Reddit or 4Chan threads, you're clearly not doing your job here.
There's already a topic on this in Themes, Apps and Mods, no reason for this thread here to exist, even worse now that it's filled of rude triggered comments, Chainfire fanboys and "stupid ****" like your unnecessary intervention, pathetic.

Brah, do you even XDA?!?
Since you're new to XDA, I'll enlighten your wanna be trollness.

Question What happend to Raghu varma and moto g60/g40 development?

Hi everyone.
I just noticed that currently there's just one developer (Raghu varma) who's developing for our Hanoip devices; last month i noticed that his XDA threads had been closed by his own request. I searched a little more, and i noticed that many of his other development threads from other devices were also closed (by his request i guess)
Does this means that development for our device are kind of abandoned?
Also, there's a telegram group that publish his roms (and any other from this device, if any) and there aren't new posts since august 27.
Does anyone knows anything? :'s
I don't know, I'm using aosp13 and there are basically no bugs
i've found this,
sad

So...one guy in one device forum...made him stop all development for all devices? Sounds a bit extreme, but...I gotta say, I kinda understand where is he coming from with all this.
Hardware is expensive. Even building on a Google virtual machine costs money. And when you're building multiple ROMs for multiple devices, that means lots and lots of TBs of storage, and a pretty beefy computer so you can finish all that work preferably before New Year's.
Also, I know this kind of people. People who love to just complain about everything. I see them everywhere. And it drives me crazy. It's like nothing is good enough for them. They keep complaining and demanding stuff. And they tend to forget all the work and all the time that goes into this. They just don't appreciate it. I mean, it's not all about the money. Although, as I said, hardware is expensive, and...you do need to eat, once in a while. So...a little something would be really appreciated. But when you're doing it for free, and you don't even get a thank you; instead, you only see complaints and requests and people demanding things to be done in a certain way, in a certain time...you get sick of it pretty fast.
People like this don't care enough to see the good in anything. Everything is trash, everything is not worth anything (even when you get it for free!), so...yeah. The rest of the post has been removed (and I'm sure it was for a good reason), but I can imagine what was probably there before.
So I kinda understand his decision. Development is not easy. And it can be expensive, if you want hardware. So...yeah, when you see people like that who are just not ok with anything, you kinda wanna give up on everything and move on. Cause you feel like nothing is worth your time more than your own life and your own peace of mind.

The post has been closed, and the bluetooth of that rom can only be paired and cannot be connected to use and the android auto cannot be initialized. I think this may be related to the bluetooth failure. . . . . Well if it weren't for these two questions I think it's pretty good. . . . . Pity

XDA is in no way a ring for childish fights inherited from external chat groups. If you consider yourself being kanged on XDA, please provide the proofs to our moderation team for investigation. Meanwhile, keep the drama away from xda threads if you can't handle it by PM.
Thank you.

Well, in fact, I used three roms made by him. Among them, los does not have its own Google suite, which does not meet Google's requirements, so it can't run Android auto. However, aosp and pe come with Android auto and Google suite. but apparently they face the same bug there must be a bug somewhere and i will have to go back to the official rom to get me to use android auto

To be honest there is nothing to hide but ultimately the background music with hate is just making me more headache to deal with these few haters. Even though if you look in to my works from last 3 years to till date. I am following my protocol with proper terms & conditions. So just dealing with few new haters in a positive way. On top of it i don't even care about other developers unless they do something to me or some friendship from long but ultimately if you look in to his posts, he himself posting all drama . So better he should surrender with his own scrap. I am out from this so kindly from now i request XDA moderators to ban all these story writers who post racism/criticism/nepotism stories.
By the way the Kang word doesn't even fit to me because ultimately according to GPL my kernel source is always publicly available and you can take that and share to XDA DRT team. Iam ready for it. Most importantly i already told to everyone in all places( inside & outside XDA )as well "if anyone have issues with authorship then come to me, will review and proceed accordingly but if i identify the commit is fishy then i will discard on face" but ultimately few knew only creating drama.
Thanks for your time moderator.
Cheers
because one useless guy there complain about bugs.... so simple
