Devs, n00bs, seniors, everyone. Please calm down.
N00bs..read before you post. This is a big cause to recent drama. I read a thread today and the same question was asked and answered on like3 straight pages... this is not called for.
Devs please consider the level of readiness before posting a Rom. My fav developer makes his Rom as close to bug free by having about 10 guys test the Rom before he releases it. Doing this would cut back on n00b questions and stupid posts. I love all you work this is just an idea.
Everyone else please don't fight and make things worse. Help the n00bs with links to forum rules and such.
I make all these mistakes too. But we need to fix it. We are losing our community.

I'll add to this a bit if you don't mind. Any noobs feel free to pm me whatever the question may be and I will try to help. There is no sense starting a new thread because 99%of the time the question has been answered and i honestly I like to help. I don't have time to develop so this is my attempt to give back to a community I got a lot out of. I may not have your answer but will most likely be able to send you in the right direction and knipp is extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well. I personally don't care but don't post a thread like help plz I bricked my phone in the dev section unless you have a pair of flame retardant pants. Look bottom line is I'm here to help if anyone needs it

Also knipp what do you think about starting a kind of all in one place thread similar to what's stickied in the dev section only a little more recent and updated with an faq? I don't know how many times I posted the gingerbread ruu for people recently. If you don't have the time I can do it or certainly help at the very least. Just wanted to get your opinion on this matter

This. It's extremely refreshing when a dev spends good time creating a ROM for a phone. It's nice to be handed a ROM that has been tested and is essentially bug free. I praise the guys that do that, and the guys that stick to their work. Doing it for fun rather than for money.
Of course I'm not expecting a good ROM to fall into our laps, I do like to follow projects from start to finish just as long as the dev(s) are working solely on that project - Like Cyanogen.
I agree about posting ROMs that are fully tested.. but then only 10 or so get to enjoy the ROM until it's stable. It's nice having everyone give feedback because 100 testers is better than 10. But I 100% agree with you, we need to get this community back on track, and we as users can help indefinitely.
We need to remember, not too long ago we we n00bs. I didn't even know what an .apk was. Now I know how to edit and decompile .apks.
Let's help to make this a fun and sharing community again.

Just wanted to introduce myself
I got my s3 a few months ago but i never really did anything with it. So yesterday i decided to root it and install CM10 but now i'm not use to the menu because i got used to TouchWiz ..
Well yeah that's all unless you want to hear my life story :|
I'm not going to say i'll be active and posting a lot because i most likely won't due to university but I'll probably read a through most of the threads.

Welcome to xda ...its a great resource for android but there are a few things you need to be aware of...if you ask a question in the development forums that's already been asked or answered...be prepared to get reamed by someone...as such learn to use the search function effectively...always read through the op and thread posts thoroughly...also be sure to post in the correct sections.. lastly get to know adb before you mess with your phone...other than that the community is pretty chill...just that at times it can be overwhelming to new comers...as long as you do your research though and follow the rules put forth by the mods and rom devs you should be fine.

I've been lurking off and on for a long time lol, realized I joined the forums in June of 2008 but just within the last few days posted anything. Also just got a "real" phone (s3) to even really get down to playing around with since then too but regardless ha just saying you're not alone in the noob world of xda that's for sure

I got a Galaxy S II almost a year ago and have been a part of the XDA community ever since. It was my first android phone and my first smartphone. All of you guys in this section of XDA have been absolutely fantastic. All of things you guys have contributed, like roms, tweaks, apps, themes, scripts, etc that made my phone amazing. And all of the times you guys have been there to help me will always be appreciated. You guys made me love android and XDA. I've learned so much about it over the past year, and have even contributed some things to the development section with success. But it's time to move on. I've sold my phone to buy the new Nexus 4, which is amazing guys. I love it. Great upgrade and a great price. So, I will unfortunately no longer be part of this section of XDA anymore. But before I leave, I just want to say Thank You. Thank You, the XDA Community, for everything. There were times I wanted to kill all of you for complaining and staying off of topic in threads, (lol) but I still love all of you. I hope the Nexus 4 community will just as great as you guys have been. You guys will be missed. Goodbye. </3
Good luck with your new phone man
We'll see you around man, good luck. Nexus 4 board is gaining a valuable member! I imagine we're going to lose a few more, myself included. My 8X shipped today, XBox music being the deciding factor. I have plans to pick up the Nexus 4 sometime after the first of the year though.

Fellow WFSers,
As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been posting anything for a few weeks/months. College and my job are taking too much of my time.
I'll be popping in from time to time, notably to check for rom updates, but otherwise, you may consider me gone.
When I arrived, there was barely any activity in the dev forum, and I've seen it grow into something pretty awesome, which is absolutely amazing.
It's been a pleasure to meet you all.
Kim.
Have a nice time
Goodbye dear friend.

That really shows the type of people that go through the forums. Once they installed their first 2 or 3 roms and kernels, and looked through 4 pages of android development, they feel they know everything. I really wish dj could leak that final Frosty rom update one day...

And all over battery life. Mine us great, but even have had bad days where battery just drained. To many factors to say its the rom. And why argue it there. I dont undersrand sone people. They just want a fight.

It was the fact that 5 people were commenting on the same darn thing that wasn't even related to the rom. That's what PMing is for bros.

I agree. I was using Wicked for a long time and decided to give Frosty a try, and I loved it. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I also have great battery life with it. I will keep using it for a while. Hopefully DJ will come back.
What was the persons name that insulted DJ, I'll get 'em... I think DJ will be back, he loves this way too much, one way or another he'll be back.

I couldn't post on the original tred and I wanted to say that frosty rom is the smoothest rom of all for me with no problems at all of any kind and I tried them all. It behaves the way just I want it. Thank you Mr. Dev and god bless you.

So he took his ball and went home. Don't worry about the thousands that love your work and your ROM (myself included by the way), just the handful that criticize it.

I am saddened by what has gone down. I remember a time when post where constructive and not a pissing match. Unfortunately with more and more people come here and join the chances of this happening grows.
I know the frustration of seeing someone complain about something know to be issues or someone thinking it's a problem with the rom when no one else has issues. Just remember we where all noobs at one time or another and remember that one person that helped you out with something vs the person that flamed you for not knowing.

I was that at one point also, when the G1 came out and JesusFreke was making roms, and people had to use ADB to obtain root and be able to flash things. I learned since then and read and read and read. The problem now a days is that most don't care to read a little, or at all. Most of the questions asked in a thread are answered, or been discussed, or don't even belong in the dev section. This is extremely aggravating to the devs, or themers, when they right up a huge OP and no one uses it, and just clutters up their dev thread with useless questions and/or nonconstructive criticism. I don't blame him for quitting or locking the thread, if people feel it's at its prime, then leave it alone and don't touch it anymore. Most of the TouchWiz roms have the best version yet to come, or they came and went a while ago. Most of the mods they incorporated are flashable on your own, anyways. Thank him and respect decisions, or use one of the other 10+ TouchWiz roms.

Haha don't exaggerate while there are a few dummies out there, most of us are well behave at the end of the day we are the consumers.

Jesusfreke was the pioneer of modding for Android. Without him I believe that we would not be as far with android as devs, manufacturers, or even android its self.
Look at thouchwiz its self with the toggles in the notification Window. This came from cm. We the community can end up pushing for devs with true innovation to go back underground where their work is not seen in mass people, Google, or manufacturers. Then android may end up missing what could become greatness all for petty arguments. I follow one such dev in a private forum and it's a shame he was forced to by thing like this.

Hey guys,
I let this thread go for awhile (I was logged on when he created it) and you all have said your piece/peace, in an almost professional manner which I for one appreciate very much. But now it is time for this OT thread to be closed. I do invite you to the Official OT thread to continue this discussion, as a few have already been doing.
Thanks you for being civil about it, but the time for this thread has expired.
