So I've had the opportunity to browse a lot of other forums lately. They're really different and sometimes really the same. If you've ever watched that lame but great show Sliders, it can be something like that at times. I will update this list with characteristics in case you're looking for a fun place to look and contribute, since a lot of our knowledge is transferable.
Forums you should check out:
Droid 3: they're so damn close to rooting that thing. such a cool process to watch
Update: they have root
Droid Charge: Doppelganger world to ours, phone is at a similar stage of development even though it's relatively new
Fascinate: The VT of forums, lots of good vibes and they shame people into behaving
Galaxy Tab: Has two dev communities and both seem to be great. I plan to get one soon but I'm still learning. People seem friendly, though.
EVO: Decent community despite the sh*t we give them. It's like a city of forums and wandering into some of those threads makes ours look tame. Sometimes it's easier when everybody know your name.
Will update as I wander, think of me as Travelling Matt from Fraggle Rock.
I highly doubt that XDA would enjoy this thread. Let alone its off-topic.

I think he's referring to other XDA forums for those particular phones. I had some good reading on the V6 TurboCharger thread. A flame war between developers turned into a joint development breakthrough...entertaining stuff. I will check these out as well. You never know what you may find from doing some reading. TheRoot always finds the best themed apps for me.

You don't go to McDonald's for a Whopper. XDA makes money from ads, so they forbid referring people to other sites whether for info or downloads.
Ive been in the Nexus S forums lately because my gf finally let me root her phone (thank you so much for the video and links qbking) and I was literally in shock from how many choices there were.... I literally had no idea where to start even though I like to think of myself as an expert flasher/rooter.... I often forget that the Epic community isnt the only one on the Web lmao
Not that anyone cares but I think this is a great topic. Android is about sharing information, ideas and our work. We have to allow for other forums or even websites to exist. XDA is the only site that seems to struggle with this concept.
There are tons of other great websites out there and well as tons of other great forums right here at XDA. When I was actively developing on the Epic, I found very helpful information in many other forums. Some were other Galaxy S based forums but others were HTC or Motorola based sections.
I think this was a fantastic topic to get started and I completely agree with it. I just wanted to show some support and say hello.

Thank you for this. The more I do this the less fun it is becoming. Some days when I read some of these post I wonder why I even bother. Every so often someone will actually thank me for taking the time to do what it is that I do. Time that I spend away from my family. Ya I'm still in the same room but not paying as much attention to my 7 year old daughter as I would if I wasn't doing it. Ya its my choice but is a little gratitude too much to ask?

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'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.

TO THE OP and austin420: Stop *****ing about where's the roms and kernel's for EB13, IF YOU WANT A NEW ROM LEARN TO MAKE ONE! The people who Develop these roms take time out of THEIR LIVES to create a rom or kernel to share with the world so that others like YOU TWO can have them. XDA is about development not free loaders complaining about lack of roms, I personally have not attempted to create a rom yet because I am still learning the android system, but unlike you to I am VERY GRATEFUL for every single rom that is on this site, as well as all the kernels for every phone. You have no right to complain if you do not contribute, so either develop something, be a tester, or STFU and deal with what you have!
and finally to 063_XOBX: you are right sir in every way, these two are ungrateful and this original post is nothing but a troll post and should be DELETED.
feel free to flame me I care not but the truth is the truth
I feel sorry for the op that ask a question in a Q& A forum where it belongs. And these Dev pole jockers AKA d*** riders come in and flame the man. He probably ask the the questions because these same pole jockers, are the ones that put a date on when the Devs would have a rom out and not the Devs themselves. If anything in the future Devs need to check folks that say false info like "don't wait for OTA, Our devs will have a custom Rom up in a couple of days if not hours" ~The pole jockers. Man some of these cats on here I don't get smh.

so I'm a **** rider? I for one would like to know where I ever posted a date where the devs would have a release for eb13 or any other release, thanks for the laugh.
and once again I wish the Admins would lock this as it's nothing more than a troll thread!
Ok. So i have been away from the form for a couple of weeks (family emergency) and I noticed that some of the dev's are packing up and going to different forums JoelZ9614, ihtfp69. What did I miss?
I'm kinda wondering that too tbh
devs should just ignore the crap and keep doing what they do.
Stuff like this makes me want to stay with CM even more. CM is my first love for custom ROMs and my favorite so far due to it's speed and features and open source model. Since they packed up quietly it just would make you speculate.
I like looking at the front page of Inc development to see what's new. We'll still be seeing new ROM on xda, just from fewer devs.

I thought I would stick with this phone way past my contract because of the development but I might have to second guess that if the developers become too hard to locate . Like they say " There is a beginning to every end "

Now its wildstang! [email protected]#$!
Change roms like I change underwear.
the children need to leave and problem would be solved. I cant believe the dinc forum has become this.
I had not paid attention before today, but I noticed that Calkulin is not a recognized developer! I looked up what is required and he seems to fit the bill.
Maybe he has not filled out an application. I think in his case the moderators should upgrade him to Recognized Developer with or without an application. When I first purchased this phone and was trying to decide on which rom to start with, it became obvious that he was recognized even without the title. I saw more than one person posted that they bought this phone because they saw him developing for it. He is very involved with every leak or upgrade. His interaction with everyone is exemplary. His work provides a good base for other developers working with our phone.
Either way, Thanks Calk for all of your hard work. A lot of us appreciate it.
Edit: Thanks for thanking me, but I haven't developed anything. Go find something of Calk's that you have not thanked him for and thank him. He is the one that deserves it! And remember to thank the other developers and people that help.
I assume that maybe he doesn't want to have that status. He is most definitely a Dev though. I've used his ROM's since the Windows mobile days.... Very smart man =)
That should tell you something about xda... if you can't pick up on the clue.

I think that everyone agrees with you. He is too busy developing to care if he has a title on this site. It hasn't and won't keep him from developing. I have seen a number of recognized developers around the forums and thought that he deserved it. In the OP I said that he maybe hadn't filled out an application, and he probably has not and doesn't care.
I was just posting because I thought he deserved the sign of respect.

I'm quite sure this is the deal.
He'd been developing for the OG EVO for a long time here on XDA as well. He knows he's a great Dev, the community knows he's a great Dev, and that's really all that matters. He obviously doesn't care about titles and I respect him for that.
I always wondered about those. Seems like a lot of well know themers\devs do not have recegnized developer or themer. I would love to know how they choose.
There is only one benifit to having that title. Being able to lock and close your own threads. That's it. Other than that its just words. Everyone knows Calk is extremely talented and that's all that really matters. So I don't blame him for not worring about it. I have seen many with that title and Calk deserves it way more then they did. But ah well. If he ever wants it just has to fill out the form.
Who is Calkulin and what does he do?
PS: he saved my Samsung Moment from flying into a brick wall at 50 MPH.

I don't think anyone mentioned him being the desperate. I think that "Hint: If you're desperate for such a title, you don't deserve it. " was meant in general to others who just want to release kanged ROM's and claim all work or demand the dev status right away.

Agreed. That was my first experience with his work and then I used his work on my brother's Evo. Now I use it on this once again. I can' ask for a more dedicated developer. Glad he picked this phone up to dev on.
This is the first time I have used any of his work. He never did anything on my previous phone. But still, from what I've seen he seem like a really cool cat. Respected and rightfully so and never harsh to answer a question. I think it would be nice for him to have the title so he could have more control over his threads and such. But he doesn't need it to get mine or many others respect.

+1 to the comment he doesn't need a title to have my respect.
Calkulin's ROMs were my first experience with anything other than stock rooted. I like his work and think this community would miss him tremendously if he left.
I have run Calkulin's roms on, I believe, 5 devices going back several years. I also used his kitchen to cook my own Windows Mobile roms back in the day.
The man is a legend.
