Devs, n00bs, seniors, everyone. Please calm down.
N00bs..read before you post. This is a big cause to recent drama. I read a thread today and the same question was asked and answered on like3 straight pages... this is not called for.
Devs please consider the level of readiness before posting a Rom. My fav developer makes his Rom as close to bug free by having about 10 guys test the Rom before he releases it. Doing this would cut back on n00b questions and stupid posts. I love all you work this is just an idea.
Everyone else please don't fight and make things worse. Help the n00bs with links to forum rules and such.
I make all these mistakes too. But we need to fix it. We are losing our community.

I'll add to this a bit if you don't mind. Any noobs feel free to pm me whatever the question may be and I will try to help. There is no sense starting a new thread because 99%of the time the question has been answered and i honestly I like to help. I don't have time to develop so this is my attempt to give back to a community I got a lot out of. I may not have your answer but will most likely be able to send you in the right direction and knipp is extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well. I personally don't care but don't post a thread like help plz I bricked my phone in the dev section unless you have a pair of flame retardant pants. Look bottom line is I'm here to help if anyone needs it

Also knipp what do you think about starting a kind of all in one place thread similar to what's stickied in the dev section only a little more recent and updated with an faq? I don't know how many times I posted the gingerbread ruu for people recently. If you don't have the time I can do it or certainly help at the very least. Just wanted to get your opinion on this matter

This. It's extremely refreshing when a dev spends good time creating a ROM for a phone. It's nice to be handed a ROM that has been tested and is essentially bug free. I praise the guys that do that, and the guys that stick to their work. Doing it for fun rather than for money.
Of course I'm not expecting a good ROM to fall into our laps, I do like to follow projects from start to finish just as long as the dev(s) are working solely on that project - Like Cyanogen.
I agree about posting ROMs that are fully tested.. but then only 10 or so get to enjoy the ROM until it's stable. It's nice having everyone give feedback because 100 testers is better than 10. But I 100% agree with you, we need to get this community back on track, and we as users can help indefinitely.
We need to remember, not too long ago we we n00bs. I didn't even know what an .apk was. Now I know how to edit and decompile .apks.
Let's help to make this a fun and sharing community again.

I feel like we can do a better job and keep the moderators happy while still making progress on pics for mt4g... but let's keep it together this time..

let's reopen by moving back to general thread see how we do.. I think the desire s port had the most working I.e. GPS etc.. we should start with a port.. a work on one at a time.. wifi is the biggest need it seems for most
Sent from my HTC Glacier using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
So....what is the purpose of this thread?
to figure out how to get the ball rolling in an organized way again.. I pm'd mars who ported desire s to see if we can start there again.. I don't know if he can or will use this for his port.. or if we go back to the general thread... I just think to much progress was being made to shut down..

The mods obviously disagreed, so what makes you think starting another thread in the development section was a good idea?
The dev section is for posting actual software...ROMs, kernels, recoveries, etc. Not for discussions. That's what the General section is for.
well for starters...
WHY IS THIS IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION????
btw, ever think of WHY so many devs are leaving and giving up? maybe it's because people like you are spamming the dev section and the rom threads with random garbage.

Yeah if there is no rom under development this should be moved to general. Le sigh.

I actually thought one of the ports could start posting here... one.. but it is irrelevant.. I just heard from the mod.. a new thread is going to open from the original OP.. just cleaner..so disregard... and we wait

i really really hate it how the ICS development ended... i just hope it will come back soon.
thanks everyone for all the your hard work
I do have an idea. IDK if you'd agree on this but heres my idea:
All developers from the Desire S, MT4G, Desire HD need to come together to work on ICS. Things would get done faster and we'd basically have the same builds but the developers would independently work on drivers and such alone unless they want to work on 3 devices completely.
I'm just saying this because then the work could get done much faster with developers pulling together. The only other option seems to create additional threads like some others have with different ports but make them completely separate. I do agree that many builds should not be posted within 1 thread. However, I do not agree we should only have 1 thread on ICS. I also agree that people shouldn't be asking the same questions over and over. We could possibly develop some kind of bug reporting policy. The devs could use our help and by us reporting the bugs and making logcats we can further help the developing along faster.

What happened was people couldn't wait one damn minute for a upload and couldn't read what was posted a page back. It was disrespectful. Try doing that on any other thread. It would've came if people just had patients. People have lives outside of xda. (Jobs) Hopefully next time it won't be like that. I'm gonna go on cm7 and post a port of cm9 because they are taking too damn long...get it?

Every freaking comment was about the stupid wifi issue, a person didn't need to read more than 3 posts up to know that was an issue. Some peoples kids I tell ya! Read at least the last few pages and get a.decent feel for how the rom is, and if you want a stable rom...then you probly shouldn't flash a BETA rom geesh

devs are leaving the MT4G because so many people are just spamming the dev section and ROM threads with random useless crap.
JUST STOP IT GUYS!!

All I did was read the comments and wait till it was ready enough looks like the form is down unless.... does this mean no ics rom?
And can't they band a user from certain threads that the creator started to avoid spamming ?

I'm contacting a mod,asap.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.
........Death before dishonor........
why the thread was closed? why peoples are fighting here. Just sit relax and wait for the developers to work or otherwise port the rom yourself, well its a saying that a man is always unthankful
i hate people who whine and complain about ****....
Whiners should FIX the problem.. if they cant, they need to STFU...
Were a dev team that started out in the evo forums and have since move on to both the Hercules and skyrocket. Right now we are building back up as some members just never showed up. We need themers, devs, and testers. Thank you in advanced. Either leave your Google+ name here or add me on Google plus. Rabbit Garcia.

Awesome, glad to help with what ever I can
If you guys are still looking for help, I would be interested. Taking a break from school and would like to learn Android and how to dev. Not sure how much help I would be right of the bat. I currently work in software verification for embedded systems on turbines. Most of my coding experience is scripting in LABView, so I don't think that is you helpful here, but as I said, I understand the basics and would love to learn. I will be looking to learn on my own, but I think a team environment would be good as those more experienced could help guide me.
Hey im M&S a Developer/Themer and the face of ADT for the GSII.
Although im not looking to join, me and my team could do a little joint work in the future with you and yours.
You can check out my work in my profile, all my threads are locked but whatever lol
If you need anything let me or my theming partner Evi1Art know...

http://www.openconsole.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=869
