Another year into coding is like uhhhg I need to finish highschool first I think

Asswholes . . . naw. If you think those responses are harsh, you haven't spent much time here. They were actually pretty gentle. The alleged "harsh" response not only answered the question, but told the OP how to get more information on the subject by using the search function.
It was proper for the previous post to point out the fact that the OP should follow this forum's rules and guidelines. There are clear forum guidelines on doing a search before posting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850273
The guidelines exist for a reason. Otherwise the forum would be overwhelmed with people asking the same questions over and over (making the forum completely useless), like:
How do I root?
What ROM is best?
Will WP7 be ported?
It took me about 30 seconds to find the following, using the search function:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928133
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856492
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846917
But to summarize, it wouldn't be IMPOSSIBLE per se. But it would be a huge effort, since there are no hardware drivers and WP7 is closed source.
Seeing as this is a discussion about XDA and not about general phones, I thought this is the most appropriate place to put this thread. I have also checked for similar threads but have found nothing.
If a mod thinks otherwise I am sorry for posting in the wrong place.
I have created this thread as you can probably tell, to ask why there is no iOS in the listed platforms on XDA.
With iOS on XDA the site itself will recieve: - A much much larger audience
- More users
So why not include it.
This is not a request even though it may seem like it. There is obviously a reason as to why there is no iOS and I simply want to root it out. Even if it only takes one or two posts and the thread has to be moved around by mods for posting in the incorrect place.
Please contribute to the thread. I have also created a poll. If you do not have time to leave a comment, use the poll.
Anything relating to iOS can be found on XDA's sister site, forum.iphone-developers.com. The reason they don't put that section on this site is because it would inevitably cause too many flame wars between iOS fanboys and Android fanboys.

Why people cannot just accept ios as simplicicty and android as power I just do not know.
I wouldn't know because I've never owned an apple product. I've only ever used them whilst trying to sort problems out for my family & friends who own them.
I just simply couldn't own one because I mainly customize my phone through widgets, launchers etc. There isn't the ability to do that from iOS.

I think they do, just not in the tone that you mean. Discussions of this sort invariably take on a nasty tone due to the scorched earth policy decided upon by one of the involved companies.
On a different note, would you please consider reducing the font size you are using? Honestly, it comes across in exactly the same manner as all caps does by "yelling". I do not believe you mean it that way, but it does come across that way in effect. Thank you.

Thanks for letting me know about the font. I just thought it was clearer for people to read. :laugh: Now I see why people write in this font so much.
Well at least someone said it.
i have used iphone 3g and 4s but for me iphone is a crap but there are lots of stuffs/mods that you can do with an android phone but you cant do it in an iphone
That is true. I've always loved android for that. But because so many hipsters get iphone. The support is through the roof. Jailbreak will permit anything.
I will literally troll the sister forums to the point it blows up.

I agree with this, also i belive that iOS has such a large following it needs it's own dedicated forum, as give it a section under platforms would not be enough.

1. I made it so that it should show a bar that would let me change the brightness on the notifications tab. The thing you pull down with the time and your on/off toggles. (I have it turned on but it won't show anymore, I turning it off and rebooting and turning it on but it still won't show.)
2. Apps randomly crashing and it saying "Messenger has stopped working" or whatever.
And videos take forever to load, and sometimes when skipping it says "Gallery has stopped working", before I used LiquidSmooth the battery drained because of the Samsung stuff but now the battery is the same or a bit better but I have problems I didn't have before?

PM the dev. Whining because you broke something in the Q&A forum is considered bad manners. Telling experienced users they do not know the rules is also frowned upon.
Try a different rom if the one you are using does not work for your needs. This is not a difficult concept. The are several flawless roms out there. Anything the deviant team (DJ or Evil) has out works great.
Reflash rom dont forget to wipe.. also fix permissions so :
Wipe
Flash rom
Fix permissions..

Back it up, I'm not whining about anything. I'm just asking a simple question. If you cannot be mannerly and kind about it, I suggest you don't bother posting on the thread. And if he/she knew the rules he/she wouldn't have posted his/her ignorant remark stating to post on the development thread. That surely doesn't show their experienced either.
You could've just said that. Simple as that. You didn't have to come onto this thread being a complete douche bag.

It took a long time with requests to make the app better, asking for updates and new functions and so on before I finally asked JB media to send me my money back today.
I bought the Premium App in January last year because I wanted to donate my most preferred android development site. Sad to see that they don't care about the thoughts and opinions of their users and did not even update the app for over a year!
There would be so much that needs to be fixed but nothing ever happend. I'd ask other buyers to do the same as I did if you are as unsatisfied as I am, because this is unacceptable, craving money for doing nothing!

I think maybe you have bad timing, because we just pushed out an update to the premium version to the app store. A few minutes ago. We did a staged release in case there are any issues with it, but either way you should get the new update within 24 hours.
Sorry for the delay, we wanted to push out new updates but this was a major version change which is why there was a gap in updates. Hopefully you'll be satisfied with the changes.
I know that. Just never saw this thread, I swear! I'm not too dumb to use a forum's app, except this app is really, really bad lol. I think the money for the XDA app is better spent for Tapatalk 4, it's even cheaper atm because it's on a 99¢ sale this week. :thumbup:

Why not xda release a app based on forum runner?
Not many of us use forum runner but I find it MORE COMPATIBLE wid xda.
Following are the things I get in forum runner but not on tapatalk/xda app
♣ ability to report a post
♣ mod options for RCs shows as per their own thread not in every thread
♣no reply option present in closed thread (tapatalk gives option to reply even in closed thread bt ultimately says thread locked)
♣member title can be seen without click on profile pic.
Although it has some missing features but they can be added if xda adopts it..
Just my view..
Thanks

As I said, forum runner isn't compatible. The reports done by this app ends up as pm to the entire team, which is not how the browser-based reports work. No matter which app people use, it barely takes 10 secs to switch to a browser to report
So, for the currently forseeable future, tapatalk and forum runner remain incompatible with our reports system. As for the rest, the xda app did get updated recently, so things aren't as dull on that front anymore

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.
Overlay team was doing right,.. that's my opinion.

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.
