Would be nice if I could get an answer.
Would be nice if you waited more than an hour before you threw a tantrum.
Mod Edit- Abusive content removed
Why do I need to apologize? All I did is ask a question and some guy says I throw a tantrum. I don't appeciate that.
Especially when I wasn't throwing a tantrum. Just asking an honest question and simply wanting an answer.
I know I am in the wrong for using foul language, but I just don't like it when people assume things. How is one going to assume I'm throwing a tantrum? I'll admit I was in the wrong for cursing, but I'm not going to apologize. He should have never said that.

Thread cleaned. Can we keep on topic and absolutely avoid using foul and abusive language which, as you all know, is against the rules and risks a sanction being applied.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Yeah I think I was one of the first to post a good buy thread, but if you haven't noticed, all these threads labeled 'goodbye' are apparently being locked.
XDA is becoming big brother in censoring posts. First it's with goodbye threads, then it's with thanking our troops on Veterans day. What's next?
I wouldn't give this thread more then an hour or two before a moderator locks it as well. Apparently it appears to be a sign of the times.

I'm fine with the Goodbye threads being locked. A general welcome/goodbye thread is probably the best solution.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of goodbye threads. I think it's kind of a kick to the teeth to the people that still have the phone, even if that's not the intent. Plus, it clutters up the General forum.
Locking a thread supporting our troops shows that this moderater has no respect for his own family or friends that faught fornhis freedoms to be on XDA. Before anyone starts the nerd crap about the rules know that I dont care because the onley thing I care about right now is the men and woman who are in uniform or have been there that come to this site daily and make XDA a buck and I hope and really hope they delete my account I will not be back.

It wasn't the mod's fault. Someone previously posted a comment that completely ruined any kind aspect the OP was trying to display towards veterans (Of all nations) to the extent that the moderated was forced to close the thread (He himself had posted thanks previously too)

XDA is not a forum about the USA Military, It's about smart phone/tablet development. If you post off topic, your thread will most likely get closed.
I reported your completely disrespectful post about a moderator who has done a pretty fine job of keeping this place clean.
Jay is definitely an XDA veteran that I appreciate. :laugh:

He should have just added some credits. His roms were better than those he "borrowed" from. He also updated far more frequently and was always responding to questions.

Im not against the rules or anything else Im sure they are helpful for the bigger picture.:cyclops: I am however stating its ironic that he did better with there stuff than they did. IMO when a dev does that its usually buggy or simply not as good , his roms were always up to date and he had stuff out much quicker than others.
At the end of the day everyone here is modding someone elses work to begin with so getting banned for using a modification to an open source or Samsung based software is just weird to me.
Isnt that why theres two dev forums to begin with ?
Just so that we are all clear on this subject. He is not Banned.
Like someone above said, he still has a ROM in one of the Note sections (can't remember if NI or NII atm). I am one of the Mods over those sections as well so I have seen his threads and activity.
Now I don't know what exactly went down and why the thread was locked and even if I did, I'm not sure I can speak freely. I was called away on a family emergency that weekend and when I got back it was locked and the other thread about this was in full swing. It seemed like a kang job, but as I said, I do not know the particulars. I am only posting in this thread to let you know that he was not banned and chose to host his S3 ROM elsewhere.
Please don't make this thread into a pissing contest about who's was better and random speculation about what happened. Plus, if he is not here to defend himself, he shouldn't be attacked (not saying that any of the ones that posted attacked him in any way *more for future posters, if this thread stays open).

Seems like you're arguing semantics. Only thing I see wrong is not giving credit. (ill surrender the end point that it's xdas way of managing things and that's fine.)
However you and everyone else are working off Google and to a lesser extent Samsungs work to begin with he only borrowed what you tweaked in someone else's code to begin with ;don't know why devs feel they should have special treatment. Having followed android *devs* since the early G1 days I find the current state rather egotistical and counter productive at times.
Again I say... I understand about not giving credit but alluding to him being a thief is ironic considering what is actually being done.
You say I have no idea, that's fine perhaps I don't . But proclaiming thievery with exclamation points doesn't exactly educate or inform anyone of anything let alone show that I'm in the dark on the matter.

Credit is the least he can ask. Do you know or even have an idea how long it takes to make a rom? De compiling recompiling apks tweaking smali. **** I tried to theme a couple pngs and 15 toggles and it took me a couple days just reading to figure out what to do! They have to edit a lot of files. It's long tedious work and they do it all for free!!
Regardless if it was based off Google code. They edited and made it unique. It is now theirs. For example for school you have to write a paper about Lincoln. You research about Lincoln and final write your paper. What your saying is that the paper you wrote is not yours because you pretty much just reworded facts you read online. (provided you didn't copy paste) the paper is now your own paper that you can claim rights too.

Buy Tapatalk or XDA premium and quit crying about a free site needing to generate some revenue. What do you think all the bandwidth for the 4+million users is free? All the webmasters and admins work for free? Someone donated the hosting? Here's an idea go run your own free site with no ads and see how long you keep it running with all the costs coming out of your pocket

If you're going to whine about ads, then use Adblock Plus or something. It is someone's income. I am perfectly OK with XDA having ads considering the wealth of information that is consolidated onto a single site.
Ya use ad block
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy s3
how is it even possible for someone with over 2k posts to still not know about adblocking extensions for chrome and firefox? you're obviously not new to the internet and have spent quite some time on this forum alone. use your God-given brain.
Use adblock with standart settings. It will allow few adds on site. Admins will have money (for site hosting), you`ll see less adds.
this site used to be ad free.. then i guess someone got a bit greedy and decided to infest the site with ads. yes i know running a site cost money but there are many ways to bring income without having 5+ ads on a single page, as a result i use ad blocker when i visit here.. i know from experience as i run my own site since 2001.
they could at least maybe do a premium membership where members and developers (some who even use this site to "advertise" their apps) can donated a few dollar and have no ads. maybe a recurring membership every 3-6 months with added features.

Complaining about free tech support. Way to exercise that free speech. Typical liberal thinking, apply the rules to yourself the way you see it benefits you.
I found those long signatures more annoying than ads here. I'm used to the layout of the page, and my eyes just ignore those places for ads. But, as I am browsing the posts, those long signatures take a lot of scrolling.
I do use the app, which does not show the sigs, and jumps to the last unread (like it very much). But I'm on my computer all day.

What happens is that on your page .. the developer says that those who donate, will be able to have the firmware before, but also later, release them FREE to the entire community. I mean that's just to support and encourage hard work.

The application for RD covers more than "Did you release anything?" It also asks how you will help the community in general. Only XDA can sell the work developers contribute here. It's a lot like a university saying they own the rights to your projects. I don't think either side is right, but you know what you're signing up for.

But surely there've been Portal Posts promoting paid apps made by members of this place, that XDA does not profit from? Besides, XDA can't possibly sell an Android ROM, right? I'd like to get the full story on this; I don't like the sound of it at all. What the heck happened that could possibly justify their abuse if it isn't your reason?
well he is going to release a free version after one month
developer of dixperia roms did something like this too but why no one told anything to him?
XDA doesn't seem to be on the right side of things on this.. atleast they don't sound like they have a logical reason to be right.

They do have an area for announcing paid software, but that's the only place it's permitted.
XDA doesn't sell ROMs directly, just advertising and stuff like that.
There could be 1000 reasons, but they're really between the dev and XDA. Only one side of the story is given by a blog post and most people aren't going to admit they were wrong and then ask for donations.

Well known Recognised Developer team that works on 4.4 for Xperia 2011 devices(including xplay), has built their own 4.4.2 firmware. They offer an early access version to people who donate $5 on their website. After 1 month, it all becomes free to the public. Apparently XDA didn't like that, and revoked their recognised developer status and deleted the thread. The development team is asking us to PM the forum administrators and show our disagreement on the matter.
Also, achtojan hasn't posted anything in the past 3 days on xda since this happened, can't blame him.

XDA FORUM RULES - #11
So basically they should have just made the mandatory donate version on their personal website, then when it goes free they could have posted it on xda and still accept donations. The rules aren't very well laid out concerning this. It certainly doesn't justify revoking their RD status.

They didn't technically break rule number 8. The development team isn't saying "donate now and in a month you will receive it". They're saying donate now and receive it immediately, or wait and get it for free. Or is that still not allowed? I've seen many paid services on XDA, I guess the teams main mistake was posting it on XDA instead of just their website.

The problem is, that all of they're firmware can only be obtained for a fee. That is against the rules. If they posted a link to a donate and free version then it would be fine, but everything they linked to is for money. Not OK.
That makes sense. If that's really the case, I'm on XDA's side.
