Remember to follow the rules:
FORUM RULES
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.
14. Create only one User Account
You are allowed one User Account at xda-developers. If you create additional accounts, Moderators will disable them and your original account may also be disabled or infracted.
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.

Hi there!
Beware. Cleaning up mess in dev forums can be a lot more time consuming that you may realize. People don't care to search, to read previous pages of threads, ask the same questions over and over again and tend to spam them with sentences like "me too".

Why was Phiexz removed from this forum ? only 2 weeks after you came on?
He was almost, if not really the sole and principal spirit of GIO ROM/Kernels/updater
it was the first rom maker with a spirit of stabilizing and making things work.
It is a BAD thing for XDA (after Phiexz asked multiple times for a separate GIO
channel(This was NOT LOW activity!!!!)
It feels as killing the golden egg, and for me a less reason of being here.
If it would be Phiexz initiative (after promessing 2 weekly updates) and nothing further on his personal web site ... it seems as if he is hit pretty hard...

For phiexz, I was the annoying guy,that kept on insisting something was wrong with ext4 and got the blame not to appreciate Phiexz his work

Oh and BTW - You dont HAVE to refer to me as Supreme Commander of The Universe, but I do highly recommend it.
Hi all,
I am a very inexperienced xda user so please bear with me about my
relevant forum incompetence.
My question is : why is this (and no doubt other) forum also much
about money and 'thanks' and 'status'?
Why so many 'donation' buttons, and why are so many downloads
confronting me with having to pay for faster results, not to speak
about annoying popup advertisements about members of opposite sex
that, supposedly, eagerly want to contact me?
I truly think sharing true knowledge stands beyond this kind of
nonsense. I think we are clever enough to figure out what information
is relevant (and we can easily correlate such information to who
provided or initiated it).
Moreover, sadly, in my (agreed limited) experience, provided
knowledge is often inverse proportional to provided advertisements or
requests for donations. The rule grew as easy for me as follows: if I
am asked to pay, I go elsewhere for advice.
This does not mean I do not contribute. On the contrary. If some
person helps me or can help me, I never hesitate to ask how I can
provide money in all discretion.
Thanks

XDA IS NOT about money, never has been. At XDA in any case, the 'Thanks' button serves no purpose other than to promote the person being thanked to continue to contribute. As for someone's status, it proves to show how active someone is within that particular forum/community.
Why so many 'donation' buttons, and why are so many downloads
confronting me with having to pay for faster results, not to speak
about annoying popup advertisements about members of opposite sex
that, supposedly, eagerly want to contact me?
The 'Donation' buttons are just that. They are an option to contribute to someone for their efforts. There are many people here that devote much of their time to helping others, be it by building ROMs, creating themes, or spreading knowledge in general. As for where people upload their files to and what happens there, that is on the products author. That has nothing to do with XDA at all. The same with the ads that you are speaking of. If you are receiving them while on XDA, then report them here

My question is : why is this (and no doubt other) forum also much
about money and 'thanks' and 'status'?

To add to what shinobisoft said, the 'Thanks' button is mainly there to avoid clutter caused by useless 'Thanks!' posts.
Status titles aren't important either. Once you get past 10 (useful) posts, restrictions go away. See this post for details on why this was added.

Why so many 'donation' buttons, and why are so many downloads
confronting me with having to pay for faster results

Please use the report button if a member is demanding payment. File hosts offering faster, premium services is different. XDA provides the DevDB which allows ROM developers, for example, to upload their files on XDA's servers. They're free to use that but may choose to use other solutions. As long as it's in accordance with the rules (no PPC links, no reward programs that turn downloads into $$$ for the uploader,) it's fine.

not to speak about annoying popup advertisements about members of opposite sex
that, supposedly, eagerly want to contact me?

You can report inappropriate ads here. Ads are not hand picked by XDA, but by the ad provider. XDA asks the provider to remove any offensive/annoying ads, but you must help by reporting them.

Moreover, sadly, in my (agreed limited) experience, provided
knowledge is often inverse proportional to provided advertisements or
requests for donations. The rule grew as easy for me as follows: if I
am asked to pay, I go elsewhere for advice.

As it's been said, XDA is not about the money, at all. Donations are donations - you're free to make them if you feel the member is worthy. Again, if someone is asking for money in return for services, use the report button

Hi GermainZ, shinobisoft,
Thanks for the pointers to explanations for and answers to my questions.
have a nice day
If anything I think people here are looking for recognition more than they are money...just look at that new app by fernando sor "xda credibility". Sorta shows how this is sorta a competition. Regardless,xda is no exception to anything else, competition is in human nature

Enjoy...
Oh yeah, here's a little reminder of the Forum Rules....... FORUM RULES
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community
7. Do not spam, sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
From Nov 30 2012 the Marketplace will close. No new Wanting to Buy or Sell threads should be made after 19 Nov 2012. From Nov 30 2012 selling, buying, trading and exchanging devices or any item will no longer be permitted in any forum or via Private Messages.
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) The site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) The site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.
14. Create only one User Account
You are allowed one User Account at xda-developers. If you create additional accounts, Moderators will disable them and your original account may also be disabled or infracted.
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
Q&A Forums - For all question threads / posts. If there is no Q&A forum use the device General Forum
Accessories subforum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the phone model
Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to Kernels, Bootloaders, ROMs, etc.
Themes and Apps Forums - For themers to post Themes and App. announcements & discussions including modifications made to Apps and Themes.
16. Bumping Threads (posting simply to force a thread to the top of the thread queue)
Do not "bump" a thread more than once per 24 hours.
In addition to the forum rules, please keep the following points in mind:
-- If you notice a post that is abusive, inappropriate or off-topic, please just report it WITHOUT adding a comment in the thread -- no need to add to the spam.
-- Only work that you created goes in the Development sections. If you did not create it, it goes in Guides, not Development.
-- Reference, tutorials and how-to's belong in the Guide Section.
-- All questions belong in the Q&A Section, not in Guides or Development.
-- Do not create placeholder threads (including placeholder threads for ROMs, radios, guides, updates, tweaks, etc.).
I've seen that TWRP development for our device has stopped getting updates since a couple months ago, even though there are a lot of problems yet to solve, and huge stability issues, will it ever be restarted again?
there's no pay for the developer, if you want get more supports, you can pay him, and the twrp need more test and time

I was asking a question, ...
{Mod edit}
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
My dear son, sadly this father of yours lacks the technical abilities and tools to complete such a task, as much as it pains me to say so myself.
Even though enthusiasm for knowledge I do not lack, my present condition does not allow me to embark in so fulfilling journey at the moment.
Moderator Announcement
I've cleaned this thread in order to re-establish the standards regarding member conduct, language and mutual respect as set by rule no. 2 of the XDA Forum Rules. My actions included slight post edits but I've also deleted a few posts that were off-topic to the thread's topic and only related to the rant that had developed. For those who like to review the rules, to which we all agreed to adhere when we registered on this private platform, I add an excerpt below:
Spoiler: Rule No. 2 "Member Conduct"
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result, what may be OK to say in your part of the world, may not be OK elsewhere. Please don't direct profanity, sexually explicit language or other offensive content toward Members or their work. Conversely, while reading posts from other members, remember that the word you find offensive may not be offensive to the writer. Tolerance is a two-way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It is unacceptable to post nude or pornographic imagery, which includes the exposure of male or female genitalia and / or female breasts.
2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect: XDA is about sharing and this does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is unacceptable. Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and / or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive and therefore, none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
We like and appreciate vivid discussions, exchange of experiences, knowledge and opinions. Although a very few questions are useless or off-topic on XDA, the majority is beneficial to many members and deserve an answer. However, if somebody cannot contribute please do not post but if you have a valid contribution please share it but always with respect and a language that we use if we look into each others eyes. Thanks very much for your cooperation.
P.S. I've subscribed to this thread and will monitor the development. I will directly and personally contact anybody who doesn't take my above request for granted.

At the moment using unofficial Twrp is not the wright way to install custom roms. There are some good Twrp as Nebrassy's project, I've tried it to install a lot of roms and is very good. Waiting for Nebrassy official and stable release, I recommend you to use official LOS recovery using adb sideload.

I'll just wait for an official release, trying to switch from one ROM to another and always having to format data is annoying, wish that can get fixed on a future update
