XDA IRC ? ( #xda-devs @ irc.freenode.net, apparently )

EDIT: bla bla bla, #xda-devs on freenode!

we have a channel
#xda-devs on freenode
cya there!

Does this still work?

All your posts got deleted for being off-topic. SOPA!

Well I expect more activity in the channel than just idling there :\

So there are no hot babes in the channel? Bummer...

Yeah, it's a zombie channel.

Have people moved onto a different channel? I've been here now for the past month idling, and looking at it once in a while, it's unmoderated, and it's mostly used by two users named cerjam and taylee being immature and generally talk about sex-related random ...things. But it sure is populated by idlers.

It's not an official channel and is nothing to do with XDA. Unfortunately there are a lot of immature idiots on the internet these days though.

Ye, but an unmoderated channel doesn't help either as it seems. I don't really care for what protocol people use, but a live chatbox to talk about stuff seems helpful though. But indeed, channels die very quickly. Only channel alive I'm subscribed to is <...>

it's moderated just fine. I've been there for four years. You've been there... ... a month? can't say i've seen you.

So now that XDA has officially taken over XDA-Devs of freenode. When are we getting a webbased chat/link?

If xda-devs account on irc.freenode.net is official then someone should ensure the account is not used to add previously unregistered nicknames to that account for the sole purpose of trolling people on that IRC channel.
It would reflect negatively on the xda-devs if this was the norm and not the exception.

don't come into our channel and tell us what to do. all ive got to say.

Someone has banned *!*@* (non-IRC people, that string means "Ban everyone") and essentially taken over the channel.
What the hell just happened?

for those unfamiliar with the situation:
#xda-devs has been an established freenode channel since 2007, owned and operated by Olipro a well known and one of the most respected windows mobile developers.
I've been a user in the channel for over 3 years now, recently the staff of xda-developers convinced freenode that they are the rightful owners of the channel, who then removed olipro, and was appointed the channel.
We were informed that it was now an official channel, and they were going to run it as how they see fit.
Within the first 24 hours, one regular of 3+ years was banned.
Within the first 7 days, a global ban on the optonline network was established, along with a major japanese network, banning every user on those significant networks from the channel. I know of three people this affected personally, let alone all the users who were unable to join to complain.
Tonight, it appears someone using the alias Flar, which has been an operator in that channel since earlier this week, took control and banned every user.
Now, as many people who have visted the IRC over the years knows, i can be very mouthy and pretty much useless. However, I have been in that channel for 3+ years on a daily basis, and am good friends with more than a few users, I have to say the way this all went down is a complete wreck. Sure, I understand xda staffs arguement. They're entitled to a channel, and as freenode policy states, that is what # is for. However, HOWEVER. There is a very big userbase of this channel, spanning back years. To hijack it with absolutely no regard of the existing people, with people who've never even been in the channel and as what happened tonight shows, inexperienced IRCers, is very out of pocket.
We've created ##xda-devs for stability, and off topic discussion. I'd like to see an end to this drama and e-peen contest as much as the next person, I urge the XDA staff to join us and come to terms.

A word from the staff would be helpful about now.

Well, at least you get points for misrepresenting what happened and being part of the drama you claim to not wanting to be a part of. Not as a moderator, but one person to another, and one I had previously thought to be on friendly terms with, ... what the ****, cerjam.

Honeycomb Official SDK Available

**Note - this is the Official SDK release...NOT preview emulator**
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/02/final-android-30-platform-and-updated.html
Let's get things rollin for our Tabs!!

How many more threads on this?!
And put it in General!

Only thread in Galaxy Tab forum I've seen (since it was JUST released a short time ago)...and SDK is a Development tool. Apologies if Mods feel otherwise, however, it IS pertinent to 3.0 port attempts at this early stage.
Glad to see at least one troll lurking about.

?? How am I trolling?! There are at least 2 thread asking devs to port. Consider the plea heard. You shouldn't really post here unless you're starting the port. If you have, great! Let us know what you tried, and how it went. If not, this thread is redundant.
And if you're not asking for a port for the Tab (based on the emulator image that's in the SDK) then what are you asking for?

old news, once its out, its old news...working on a comb for my tab, working nicely just the way i wanted to...what sux is wifi aint working, had to use tether
I know there is a Thanks Button, is there a Booo Button? XP

This isn't a request thread...it's a link to the SDK, and to the fact that Google has just NOW released the OFFICIAL SDK for developers. It has finalized API's, and is ready for public consumption.
I did not post it with pleas of "please please make this work on our devices!?!?!"
If devs feel the contribution belongs in another forum, so be it...I for one prefer to contribute what I possibly can.
(Please note that there is a huge difference between afore mentioned "Preview SDK" and this release of offical finalized SDK...it's what's going out on devices live....If I'm mistaken, having only briefy compared the files, apologies)

In which case, we already know! If we are active on XDA then the chances are we read these blogs, we keep up with the world. Pointless threads in the development section don't help. This should be in general. It's general conversation.

And that looks to me like a request to get it ported. Maybe it's just me.

You thread is in the wrong place, there is an Android General section where this should be, not device specific.
/troll I guess

LMAO...wow. Just forget it.
Heaven forbid the forums get locked down to such trivial BS (ie. omg unless you are gonna release it yourself shut up and be quiet).
Information is what keeps our community at the forefront. Either be the type of member that does any little thing to give our devices the edge (post a link to new source, post dump files, etc), or yell at everyone who puts in an effort.
More excited about the potential for a post in wrong forum than the potential for what we've been looking for to get 3.0 up and running.
I'm gonna get my hands dirty!

This is interesting. Now, desire HD and nexus one also have Honey Comb ported. I really would love to see a port for galaxy tab. Although it may not be usable than AOSP but it's somewhat exciting. According to some news on the DESIRE HD XDA forum, Some functionality of the SDK will work with their current kernel. e.q. maybe you can boot the honey comb but others are broken. I am not sure if this is the same as for Galaxy tab but once we get it to display, the rests might be easier.

I don't effin care if the thread gets moved...
I would like to challenge the Mods to put more effort in to filtering out the jerks that troll the forums. Being an individual who prefers to attack any efforts made should be insta-ban.

So what, I have committed 1500+ trolling offenses then?
I'm not attacking anyway. If you port Honeycomb I will be genuinely grateful, I want to see it as much as everyone else. What I'm trying to do is keep the forums tidy. By all means post links to news and the like, just do it in the right section.

I appreciate your 1500+ contributions...I dislike your attitude towards an earnest effort, you aren't a forum mod, so it's not your job to "keep the forums tidy". So effin what if it's the wrong forum, let a dev move it. If I misunderstood the placement guidelines for a relevant development tool, I apologize. It seems the most obvious place for it...as it pertains to development. I didn't link to an article about the release, I linked to the release.

Really though, I'm more sick of seeing your replies saying "shoulda posted in general" than I am of people asking about honeycomb. Maybe you should go spend your time begging for a mod in here and less time contributing to the garbage we have to look though, considering every one of your posts politely informing (lol) people where they should post always turns the thread into a busy thread instead of just letting it die and go to page 2....
I honestly don't know if you're trying to troll or help out, but it's seriously more annoying than newbs posting in the wrong area.

Do people even know what trolling means anymore?
If you're not gonna use it properly....

The tab is not the only android device I follow up on. And I rarely look in general because I'm sick of all the "should I root my tab?!?" and "omg I bricked my phone" threads. This is the first instance I have seen the sdk was released. Once I try Boushh's deodex on my sprint tab, I might be able to start making my tab look like it has honeycomb at least. So thanks OP

Wikipedia
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Just because you're response to an innocuous post results in the same reaction doesn't automatically transpose the intent of the original poster.

What is Team Troll?

My previous thread was closed, and now it seems the guy who reported it has been deemed a trouble maker and also banned from XDA.
For those who don't know, Yes "Team Troll" is a parody group. In name only. Team Troll is supported by members of other well known groups, Our website is hosted by ACS's ShabbyPenguin, Our team logo is based off Team Rogue's and was done so with their consent.
We've released tweaks and kernel repacks for the Epic Touch and we have also helped with the testing of the ICS mods and builds you ****ers love so much,
Members of Team Troll even beta'd things that would potentially **** your experience up.
So again, Team Troll is a legitimate team, We're a group of people bound together to crack jokes at each other and just have a good time doing something we enjoy.
My previous thread was closed because a very ****ty troll decided to rear his disgusting little head.. Son, Just because you can post stupid pictures doesn't make you a good "troll" to be honest you have no ****ing clue what you're doing, Be it trolling or changing values in a god damn document. You're a horrible 'developer' and I use that term lightly. Maybe if you treated people better you wouldn't have been banned from XDA?
Knowing this thread will probably be deleted or I will be banned for making these statements, I welcome anyone wanting to be a part of this group to join us on Freenode #ICS-DEV-E4GT and #Team-Troll
We accept everyone. Themers, Scripters, Developers, Basic graphic artists, Hardware modification experts, Guys who like kittens, Guys who like ponies.. for whatever reason..
The point is we're here for the community, If you're a kid who wants help because he wants to do big things? Come talk to us, we'll do our best to give you the right information without you having to dig through a bunch of bull****.

Team Troll FTW! I like puppies which is why I joined the team.

that is exactly what i sensed team troll was about. shame the other thread got closed before it got cleaned of the actual trolls.
team troll forever.

Actual trolls? Psssh, please.
"Trolling" used to have a drastically different meaning -- creating a complex alternate personality that bothers, infuriates or makes others laugh. Now it means some teenagers posting memes, ragefaces and inappropriate pictures/videos.

If you want to make a team I say go for it....doesnt bother me. Im on a dev team for my phone. But do it behind closed door, stop creating thread after thread, and come back when you actually create some work to share. This might be general section but its not open season to do what ever you want.

An IRC channel for the archos gen9

​An IRC Channel for the archos gen9 as user help and dev communication
The IRC channel is named #archosg9-xda and is registered on freenode
you can access it over the freenode webchat HERE
or by typing /join #archosg9-xda in your irc client
Feel free to join anytime you want, speak english, behave well and if you have questions first search at xda before asking in the irc channel
Why an IRC Channel ?
i already had the idea 3 weeks ago but i was on holidays
now i'm back and i want to give the xda gen9 forum an own irc chat
most time questions are posted in a thread, and then the answers, which result sometimes in off-topic posts
through an irc channel the user can help each other like in an instant messanger, so you dont have to refresh the site to see if someone answered
AND this is also a great possibility for developers to share ideas or solutions to various problems
i personally chat with people from the xperia x8 forums, most time with my team, and since i started on irc channels i learned a lot of things

#archos and #openpma on Freenode have existed for years. An Archos employee hangs out in both of them (even when he is on vacation - props), and the other people there know a great deal about omap-based Archos devices, and in general, the Archos way of doing things. They are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.
But if we must have a channel just for the g9, #archosg9 has existed since June 22 2012, and I vote for that one, as there's no need to restrict the scope of the channel to xda.
But no matter which channel people want to use, I wish more people interested in g9 development would hop on IRC once in a while.
EDIT: Whoops, I meant #openpma.

I registered archosG9, however I don't really understand freenode

IRC chat #galaxy-note-2 on freenode.net

Hey everyone. I wasn't able to find an irc channel for the galaxy note, so I decided to make one.
I'm going to post this in all of the Galaxy Note 2 sub forums because all our devices are rocking the same hardware more or less so it'll be a nice place for devs to collaborate and for users to do whatever users do.
If you have an IRC client
Just connect to freenode.net, then #galaxy-note-2
If you do NOT have an IRC client
Here's the web interface for webchat on freenode: http://webchat.freenode.net/
Click the link, put in a username, then #galaxy-note-2 in the "Channels" box, fill out the captcha and go.
Hope to see people in there this phone is amazing.

um there is a note channel thread 2 threads from the top lol guess you didnt look to hard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957207

that one is for att, and mine is for all of them.
two different channels with two different functions. if you want to chat only with att people, join the att one. if you want to chat with everyone with a gnote, join this channel.
the thread text is copy/pasted in all 5 of the gnote forums i posted in.

Maybe add this sticky as well? Or to the other post? I had fun making fun of his soon to be dead dogs peanut butter fetish and puke stained carpets.
