Hi!
I am currently working on a new version of TouchXperience website where I will try to keep you frequently updated about project progress and releases. The new website is community-oriented so if you have any questions, suggestions, or if you would like to contribute in my projects, you are free to take part in forum or wiki. Support will be maintained on TouchXperience forum in the future.
As you know I don't have a lot of free time (and a free PC at the moment) to care of TouchXperience project and website, and I have limited knowledge in website content/forum/wiki management, so I would be glad if some of you were willing to help me. But I'm looking for serious/professional people, to moderate forums, to help users and post frequently asked questions,... everything you want to contribute in TouchXperience website life! The best would be if you have good knowledge in CMS, webdesign, forum/wiki management that could help me to improve website.
Thank you in advance!

For the record I was not trying to promote the other site. I was simply trying to prevent someone from making the same mistake at work as I did. Thanks for the real address.
I'm curious... What's wrong with the XDA-Developers wiki & forums?
Why do you feel the need to split off from XDA dev to somewhere else?

Well on the last thread there were a lot of blathering jackasses that were making stupid posts *****ing at each other and *****ing about how long the development is taking which pissed everybody off and eventually got the thread closed. This seems to be the newest and only TouchXperience thread?
-P.S. Schaps, count me in to help with the new site.

That's what the triangle with the exclamation mark is made for, so one can report such posts for the moderators to take care of.

Hi!
Do you think that we should have more ranks on XDA like on other forums (PPCgeeks, MoDaCo)? Because after we reach the 100 post count, we are just 'senior members' and are ranks stay like that. It would be nice if we introduced more ranks, i.e - 200 post, 300 post we get new ranks!
Thanks!
Yea that would be nice but until then you got to love with it
I can't see any benefit in this? It's just a couple of words under your name...

No benefit, but atleast we can have the title which would be cool
@OP,
I´ll bring this to discussion
yeah, i'd say i would enjoy it. not really a necessity, but it'd be kinda cooool, lol
Great idea, i hope that it's implemented.
It might be a nice perk for those who donate - on other sites, once you've become a 'premium member' or donated a certain amount you have the ability to change your own title.
Thumbs up for this idea!
Why bother
Surely admin have better things to do - then come up with pointless words under our names? OK it may be fun, but still pointless, though I do like reinbeau's idea.
How about donating some money instead and have some lovely gold stars under your name -

XDA is a developer site
not a fun site
it's geared towards Programmers, Coders and ROM Chefs and all GOD almighty people beyond your regular user that comes joins, download the ROM and flash the phone, or download their Apps and go merry happy go round.
though the forum welcomes any feedback from the users regarding ROMs, MODs, HACKs, & APPs
it's not your regular forum to hang out and chill, as some people takes it for granted, and also brings all their ego and fights, etc, which turns this place more like a Playground than a Development Board
As you can see with all that in mind, there's no real need to add more Ranks as it's not a site for people to earn rank, unless you can Code, Develop, and make something useful and provide it for FREE to the members of this board.
I honestly don't see any benefit in this. Nonetheless is may or may not be harmless. I'm for one is don't care about ranks. I'll even get pointers/tutorials from new members with less than 10 post. It doesn't matter anyways.
Yes e all have our own opinions. But why not? It doesn't sketching a ifferwnce whether this site is a fun site or not. it just gives members more incentive. I guess thatas my own opinion though.

Well, as I suggested, it could just be a perk for those who donate - I don't see a lot of stars on many of the threads I participate in, I was just trying to come up with a creative way to fund raise to support the site.
XDA is growing, and you're attracting lots of new people - and many here are over the top helpful. So you're going toget a more social atmosphere as the site grows. That can be a good thing, as long as it's managed well - considering the audience, management is going to become more and more of an issue (I'm a moderator on a huge forum myself).

To help other members i would like a new rank rather than just being a senior member.
ie those who donate get better ranks et c, and posters

If people want to help ONLY to get to their new "rank", then that goes against what xda is all about. People here help others because they want to help, not because they want a higher "rank".

Hello all of xda.
okay so I was looking all over these android theme sites and they had a whole bunch of contests. And I thought it's near Christmas time so XDA should start one of their own. You start a thread and sticky maybe. People donate to a contest prize and nominate their favorite themer in a thread. Then a poll is made and the leader gets prize money. Contests brought alot of activity to Rootzwiki. Make a banner and make it look official and imagine how much more a site like xda will get!!!! Even if I don't win I'll still be happy cause the chance for people to see my work in the themes section will be increased There was something similar here before.

Dear Moderators,
Please talk with all devs regarding last Mike's post in thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
Below You can find post:
" Just to be clear - my last post was not about users but about competition atmosphere, not sharing, hiding RUUs for even final, release-keys RUUs. If devs are hiding something that is tagged as "final" and "release-keys" and it will be published by htc any day, that means we are in a rats race. I'm against not sharing of "test-keys" software, but hiding "release-keys" one is way too much I can stand. No names here, no offence to anyone, no direct speech to anyone. xda rules allows that behavior so it's legal.
This game is not fair play."
I fully agree with him. Now it's lika RATS RACE
I agree that the hiding of release keys and final builds is unfair. They're from HTC and thus should be available to everyone, allowing the community to grow and for the modding community to prosper. The fact that such items of high importance are hidden from other developers (when they should be available to everyone) is deplorable.
[Off-topic: Still not sure why the thread needed to be closed. Does this mean ARHD is dead on the One X, or is it closed to simply cease discussion within the thread? If ARHD is dead, what's a worthy equivalent?]
Absolutely elmo, it's back to stock for me if Mike stops developing. In fact I've had enough of xda. On the whole it's a helpful community but there is way too much bickering going on, are we not adults here?

It's a shame, the community would be nothing without the sharing of files, ideas and knowledge.
But although unfair it is though, the individuals prerogative.
I just feel it would be a shame if everyone acted acting like this as nothing would ever be achieved or at the very least things would get slowed down for all. Who cares who's first? Ultimately we all choose which developers ROMs, MODS, etc etc we end up using anyhow.
Very little to being first in the long run but maybe a little Kudos.
Couldn't agree more with y'all.
Can someone clear up whats going on?
Is mike stopping his development?

For HOX possibly yes.

(Shouldn't be saying this) Want to know who it was that denied Mike the data he needs, so that we can boycott that thread and plead with him to help Mike out)

Too bad Mike1986 just leaves all ARHD users behind like this!
He's not reliable to me anymore...This is not a fight to be fought by putting the users in the frontline.
The king is dead. Long live the king! Time to move on.
So, what's the next best thing available if it's a HOX Sense-rom?
I understand his frustration to be honest, although in this case I don't see who he is referring to, not seen the final JB WWE RUU anywhere yet.
The minute it appears on another ROM this thread will be full of demands for a release, with other ROM authors saying their ROM can't be modified for 4 days or so, which I pretty sure isn't enforced?
I do remember a discussion when Mike refused to share something, it was the Sensation time.

yes its true even in Desire HD days mike did play this game as well
and this rats game should be banned from XDA

This thread also covers this sort of discussion
Also note D.O.C's post
D.O.C said:
XDA-Developers is about development.
Rules are already laid down to protect the integrity of our forums, with the sole objective so that development persist, no matter of individual or collective choices.
If a user decides to share a RUU, fine, if not, fine again, and here is the reason why: fortunately development does not depend on RUUs, it depends on sources, and, obviously, developers to work with them. Sources are out there published under a licence that allows anyone to modify them and contribute to them in order to achieve a better product, reason why kernel sources have to be posted everytime you decide to share your custom kernel. Android is open source, reason why xda has boosted over the last few years.
HTC ROMs are not intended to be developed over them (ask their lawyers, heck, ask developers around what they find easier, to compile and modify android sources, or stock firmwares).
Now, development does not depend upon sharing. Sure, sharing is a great thing, it speeds up development and makes it greater, but, it does not depend on it. That is why sharing in our forums is a private choice.
XDA delopers started with a group of individuals that wanted to "tweak and modify" their stock roms (some developers I can see around here, and I am glad they are still around). It was a time of sharing and development, and there werent as many "issues" with this kind of environment back then. We all miss those times, but it is time we let go, we gotta move on and adapt to our current circumstances and stop trying to go backwards .....in short, develop a new mentality towards how we accept and deal with our current users. Afterall, we are in a development forum right?
RUUs are propietary to HTC, if they get "leaked" into our forums, well, thanks to the leaker, but under no cirmcunstance XDA will allow anyone to be "forced" to do something that they cannot/want to do. Not to HTC or any user for that matter. We do not ask anyone to share anything. If a user decides to share, we all win, if he doesnt decide to share, well, that is his choice, but we (by we I reffer to us as a community) do not depend upon anyone to continue what this forum is about, which is and will always be, development.
Hope the above does not cause any confusion that we (or I) support nonsharing but on the contrary, sharing stuff makes development greater and more fun, but we do know that development does not depend on it
Have fun!, but please try to stay within our forum rules, since the nature of this subject I can foresee someone getting angry XD

I did but I changed my mind some time ago already. People do mistakes, only cows don't change their minds.
Also nobody here have 3.14.401.20 RUU.
well im taking my ball and im going home,
if people don't want to share that's up to them, XDA is about sharing knowledge, sharing the ability to build your own roms and such. Too many people are expecting others to do the work for them and this is NOT what XDA is about.
since when was XDA about the final product?
i think some members need to learn a bit before they speak! don't expect others to build your perfect rom for you.
XDA has become a playground full of children who want things done for them, ive not only watched the quality of members go down hill since ive been here but some moderators as well sadly.
xda is no longer a source of information and like minded people it's now all about.. " I WANT I WANT I WANT"

Ok guys, Im sure everyone in the ROM comunity knows who evil1art is. From the S3 wicked series to S4 and now the N3. To his awesome themes. His computer is currently not in any good shape for development. that means no Wicked updates or cool themes to run on our devices.
This just simply wont do. He has and always works very hard to make sure we have amazing updates for our devices. So, I am asking all of you to come together. and help me make this bounty happen.
I ask that we all donate to him so he can buy a new pc and continue his work.
I will personally donate $5 towards this to get us started.
The total needed to get hom a pc he is able to develop on is:$800!
Every little bit helps
So here's how it works: post your amount and confirmation number in the thread and I'll add it to the op until we reach our goal.
Anything helps people!

Thanks for your hard work.
Bounties are not encouraged on XDA, however some have resulted in needed breakthroughs.
A legitimate bounty should be started by someone other than the recipient, preferably an established member of the community. The recipient should be aware of and endorse the bounty and agree to its purpose. A set goal should be announced and totals kept current. No money should be collected up front but pledged to be sent to the recipient's donation link once goal is reached.
Please stay within these guidelines.
This thread is not within these guidelines. If you want to donate to the developer, donate.
Otherwise bounties are strictly pledges. With that said this thread is closed.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
To further clarify for those that cannot see the big picture:
As I stated to the OP if you want to donate to the developer to get a better computer then donate. We as a site cannot allow thousands of threads for every loyal member to post a bounty for their favorite dev to get better equipment. This site is not about money or support. It is a development site. I am sorry if you disagree. Why must there be threads for this when you can urge people to donate in his ROM threads? There have been bounties fro true development break throughs on this site: Bounties for unlocking bootloaders, for getting an established developer a device to unlock a bootloader....these are legitimate bounties for a development site. Again, apologies if you do not agree...but that is not what this site is for. Perhaps a G+ post would be a better place for that. No one wants to log in to check news on their device to see 30 bounty threads to get their favorite dev a phone, computer, medicine for their cat...what have you. That is why there are very few bounties tolerated.
