Hello Everybody! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello! I just joined xda (I should've joined years ago!) and I am an android fanatic, iOS hater, and I'm pretty experienced. About me, I used to have a myTouch 3G Fender edition (I play guitar). And now I have a Kindle fire and you guessed it! A SGH-T989. On my SGH-T989 I have CM7 that I themed to appear ICS like. On my Fire I have CM9 with the cool APEX and Nova Launchers. I am experienced with most developer tools and tricks. I don't know why I hadn't joined xda until now! I have not developed any ROMs from scratch but I have modified and themed many for my own use. I hope I can feel at home here!

Allow me to say Welcome to XDA
Hope u feel at home here n glad to see a new account who could quite possibly not b a n00b lmao
My accounts relatively new, was on a while back but left cuz of all the crap, back now
And hoping things will change, but time will tell, anyways, welcome and hope u enjoy

Thank you. I have been doing some catching up and I've found some jerks and trolls, most have been banned. But I have been following these forums for awhile and I really hope trolls will stop. Thank u for making me feel welcomed!

Welcome. There are some really helpful people and some very talented devs and themers here. Also unfortunately there are more then our fair share of trolls. Try not to let them get to you.

[REQ] Minimal Elegance

bcparker over at sdx-developers has created a simply amazing samsung moment theme called minimal elegance. Anyone interested in porting it? I tried using some of the autoporting scripts with no luck so far.
I'd post a link but I don't have permission yet... haven't been a member of the forum long enough.

I'm very sorry you had a poor experience. My quick search didn't find the issues you referred to, but I have seen instances of members acting ungrateful in the ROM/customization community, and it upsets me every time. The developers are creating all this and giving it to the users for free. There's no reason for complaints. If I don't like something, I simply don't use it. I still appreciate someone took the time to give me another option. If that wasn't your experience I apologize on behalf of everyone involved. Much thanks for what you did contribute before you were convinced otherwise.

There is no official Froyo for our Epics, however there are several roms running the Froyo leak a.k.a. DK28.
First of all. Are you rooted?
PLEASE NOTE Post this type of questions in General section of the forums. This section is for development purposes only.
BTW. You will get more answers in that section, General

You don't have to donate if you don't want. Just read read read read read and read. Then read some more. Play around a bit and don't be afraid to ask questions– just be sure to ask in General, or preferably the Q&A forum. If you get stuck, there are plenty of people who are more than willing to help, just make sure to try and help yourself first. Oh, and be sure to read.

You should be glad someone hear tried to help you out. As far as I'm concerned people like you should be banned for a day every time they post in the wrong section or ask a question that has obviously already been answered in another thread! Do yourself a favor and read the rules and use the search button! Yes I know you have been told this but it seems like you need it drilled in your head.

so then lets make him feel like **** and he may never get on another forum , wow dude cmon.
for all we know this mighrt be his first time being on a forum , i dont know . i just see giving him a hard time the wrong way to do it. you could have said hey it may help if you search . instead of name calling belittling.
just my 2 cents
people dont understand a basic thing.. the info on the forums most of the times is outdated and no one will know for sure until they try it out ... and for a noob .. its really scary to go ahead and give a try without knowing for sure if its perfectly accurate wht s/he is doing.. for eg i came accross a forum to root android device by downgrading to 2.0 which i highly doubt if would even work now.
just my $0,02

I initially was going to post this in the Q&A section but opted not to for I didn't want to catch flack.This actually is about my questions and answers I got to them.I want to salute STeROL and John Corleone.they both helped me with my issues and guided me to learning something new instead of the normal read threads.threads are great but actual conversation while dealing with a learning issue goes a long way...we'll thank you for your help.

[Team whatever]

So I have been wondering for awhile now and maybe someone can explain it to me but what are the teams about? Isn't XDA one big team? I do not understand why people break up into little groups. Wouldn't it be easier\better if everyone was all on the same team sharing info and knowledge?
Not trying to bash anyone for being on a team or saying they are bad I am just curious.
I think its just that there's certain individuals that decide to pursue one side of developing and other individuals who pursue another. Where their interest don't meet they seek others. There's small competition which will always lead to innovation. And they brand it a team for rightful acknowledgment and credit. They don't keep info from others they share it when asked I'm sure.

Well I started TeAm VeNuM because I am self taught. I wanted to teach and help those that wanted to learn. Most developers are secretive, arrogant and egotistical. I wanted a TEAM that would help each other and place "WE" before "I". Because in all the years I've been doing this I have yet to learn everything. But people on our team are constantly helping me learn, live and grow... "There is strength in numbers."

Well that is good to hear. I have always had good experiences with TeAm VeNuM. I have like you said though run into a lot of the other type of teams that are secretive, arrogant and egotistical.
mrej its often not about competition. Not everyone has the time to help every single person. It takes more time to write a good thread than it does to assist one person. But we applaud both.

Teams are just that. I want to grow and learn new things. Its very hard when you are all alone. To have other people there to help you when u need it is a great asset. I would help anyone who needed it dont get me wrong but I like the fact i got numerious people on my side. Other devs are kinda self centered. I was getting that way my self then I realized it didnt make any sense to go at this alone.

Team ERA started out sorry of the same way on the OG epic by ksmullins. There was a bunch of us who wanted to give back so we started working together, pretty much self teaching each other other new things all the time until we finally got some ROM's going. Unfortunately After a while some of us moved to different devices and kind of fell off the charts, but i think we are starting to get back together at least when we have time. It would be nice if we had some more of the OG epic guys come over here with us but we try and make due and are always taking help when we can. Without help from other teams, devs, and xda members we wouldn't be anywhere. I can't vouche for any other forums but the OG epic and this one really are great communities for all members to learn and create great products.

Once I get the time to finish up my guides maybe this will change.
ACS is really a great team to be on. XDA gets big. If I need guidance or want to learn an aspect of things I know who to go to. Sometimes you can move faster within a team. Also sometimes teams create the need for a project and in the end everyone's a bit better at what they did or learned something completely new.

If you had a team you wouldn't have to theme every app in your great ROM your themes or amazing but as you know there are alot of black on black text that you can't see if you had a team that might get worked out faster

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I think the teams are more like the brand name.. like stated a lot of devs from the og epic and even from this device has since moved on to other devices but im sure still speak and help eachother out and still consider themselves part of that team. but everybody has a name.. team venum, rogue, era, etc.. but i agree, all these different teams and individual devs should help eachother as much as possible not sure what happens behind the scenes though so i have no idea how each is personally.. dont have no reason to interrupt a dev but i can vouch ruje let me test a few betas of his rom and no other dev has
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
because you cant have organization without teams, and without organization, nothing gets accomplished. you're thinking of teams in the sense of sports where teams play against eachother. that isn't true in this case. here, teams work alongside each other with a common goal: to enhance devices. it's no different than a store having different departments; the departments aren't working against each other, they're working alongside each other to form a bigger picture.

Spoiled Chidren Ruining XDA

I have noticed a rash of rude and uncalled for comments lately. Here is a little advice for noobs.
Trolling or Fishing on a Devs thread is childish. How old are you? 12? They take their spare time to develop roms, mods, hacks etc. and give them to us for free. Making comments such as "This rom sucks" is just wrong. If you do not like the rom, don't use it. Respect is earned on this site.
When needing help, please search for the answer first. If you cannot find a good enough explanation, then ask the question politely. Include as much information as possible. Phone code name, Hboot version, S-On or S-Off, What rom you are using etc. I know some people will tag it at the bottom but put it in the description of the question as well. It is hard enough to help someone without having to figure out what kind of phone they have too. Be polite. Hit the thanks button. It is free and does not hurt at all. Remember that XDA is a developers site. They invited you here to share their work with you freely. Senior members help a lot of people on a daily basis and you should keep in mind that they get tired of answering the same question or fixing the same problem. Being polite and keeping your cool will get them to help you a lot faster and things will go alot smoother.
Thanks,
Venomtester

See sig line.
we do get alot of these threads actually. we should make a "thread of shame" but make sure it is made a sticky.
since im ocpd i go through every single evita thread every couple months. =) sometimes i bump old things.
edit: decided to go through One X Android Development just now
i like a clean house
i wish i was a forum mod, cause i see tons of threads that need to be moved and/or locked or both, like the threads that needed to be moved in the dev sections that were just closed but never moved, or were moved but still say "Moved: " in original posted forum.
was this Xperia Z rom port please! not moved but closed in case a dev would see it and want to port it?
why do some threads say "Moved: " but still show up in it's original location? back when the new rules of threads with no downloads can't be in dev section many of those seem show up as "Moved: " which seems beneficial as they originally hinted at dev usage but didn't exactly conform to the rules of that section so seeing them in both places might be helpful?
XDA is just a subset of society.
In society, there are nice people, not so nice people, smart folk, idiots etc.
There will always be a mix of all types here, and while venting about noobs probably makes you feel a little better for a short time, the fact is it isn't going to change a thing.
My advice is just accept that it is how it is. Maybe have another beer and everything will seem just that little bit better.
