I think it's kinda bull**** for the mods to even spend this much effort closing threads on a phone as old as ours. It won't accomplish much more than to get people to leave XDA.

totally agreed
i mean devs are doing a great job still supporting our device but mods are clsing their threads fr nt mentioning the kernel source.
we don't even have kernel source yet!! for gods sake!!
These threads are being closed due to non compliance with GPL rules. These are not just xda rules. First step I took was to contact the dev individually and ask for them to comply with providing a link to kernel source and after days of waiting there was no responses. So the next step was closing their threads till they complied. These rules are stated on xda and are strictly enforced. Some of the devs have responded and stated that they no longer support their rom thread and to close it as well. Oh and BTW this thread is now closed too

What device is that??

No one is trying to be an internet tough guy, it's just rude and disrespectful and ignorant on your part, to think you are special to have your own thread. Why do you need your own thread? A mod went through 7 threads to lock them down and point people into one thread so that way it is easier on them, only for you to make a whole new thread... This is a Forum for phones and developing with a set of rules, not a social forum.

Congrats on becoming a mod when did that happen ? I didnt no they locked up those threads I just new there was controversy about it. They must of got locked recently cause I was unaware and I check these forums almost everday. Maybe I skipped a day. No need to come off the way u did there is no denying that u was being rude and an internet tougj guy . I always see u in these forums and read your threads I just didnt no u was such a dousche. No need to "report" it also they are moderators for a reason they dont need u to run to them with every lil thing

yeah, but that one thread has also been locked. i don't think he was being rude or disrespectful. yeah he should have searched first but come on
if it's in the general section, why can't we discuss it? why is this topic so taboo? i understand not needing a thousand threads on the same subject and getting people to search first...i know its not a social forum (it is, but that's a matter of semantics) but this IS the General section which is defined as "Discussion about the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)". would a discussion about LTE not fall into this category?

You just read that way, I convey no emotion in these threads usually. I may come off as a "douche" and I apologize, but it is what it is and you are making a thread even though you knew there were plenty prior. Maybe you're just sensitive, I don't know but I wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything, this is a forum for phones, again not a social club. I'm not a mod and glad I'm not cause they have sooo much to do, I have to up keep my own stuff for the users. I report cause they ask us to, they prefer that then having so many threads open on one subject. They also don't scour the threads like some of us users, so they probably wouldn't see this. I was appointed an RC for many reasons, and one of them being I follow rules, and help them and the users. I don't not follow the rules intentionally though. Like I said, I asked if they could lock 8 threads and I provided links to all of them so that'd be easier for them. I got a thanks and that they have been meaning to do so for a while. They made a sticky on not to make any more threads about it and you persisted to do so. Just letting you know, that's it.
The mod must have accidentally locked that thread as well. Not my doing, when they come to lock that one he will read and unlock that thread I'm sure. The topic is just a beaten horse with the same stuff brought up over and over. Just read that 5 page thread and see how far people have come on making one person understand, or better yet, read the 7 that I linked and tell me if you have a better understanding on the matter at hand. I won't sit there and read through them all, I would prefer they all be on one thread and that the OP that made the thread update the 1st post with all the links that provide good info. But that would be my way of handling the matter.
Please continue speculation in the sticky thread

please port a rom

please port some kind of rom
Please unlock the bootloader, then.
Boot loader doesn't need to be unlocked for a port. According to thecubed that is. :thumbup:
I will be starting to learn how to make Roms tomorrow.

I appreciate your optimism and generally good attitude. However, juniors who don't read the rules and have a general disregard for the organization and structure of this community are a detriment. They create extra work for moderators who volunteer their time and make finding information substantially more difficult for users of the site.
If memory serves me well, one of the rules is not to ask for development or etas, though it's been a while since I've peeked at them. Another is certainly posting in the correct forum - which this is not.
I'm going to be blunt, I don't think junior members should be allowed to post in the development sections. Moderators should have the ability to upgrade to a regular member at any time if they see a junior acting accordingly. Likewise, if you post in wrong sections and then abandon the section without reporting your post to a moderator to be closed along with an apology, you should be demoted to a junior for some time. This would prevent a cluttered mess to have to sift through.
It's bad enough we have a severe lack of development due to exclusivity and bootloader issues without the added stress of clutter. I'm not hating on the Op but it sure is disrespectful and I'm sure most will agree with me that it isn't appreciated or beneficial by anyone.

Whoa let's not turn this into a mod hating thread man. I completely agree with the both of you though. It can definitely get frustrating though. I was just saying to the other guy that said the op needs yo learn how to read. I just that part was uncalled for.

2nd.... noobs, juniors, seniors or moderators we are all on a learning curve and should respect all with patience. Everyone has asked a dumb question, a question that might have already been answered etc. I have and I can only assume all the moderators and or senior members have done the same. gentle reminder rather than coming down on members should be at hand. chill...... this should be an enjoyable situation for all....

this forum is a disaster and not because of misplaced posts, in fact, just the opposite. we have 12 ****ing mods for this forum, 12.
that's prolly more than peeps posting in here. and they are the ones that **** up the forum moving threads around almost willy nilly.
i ask what peeps are using their qbutton for in the gen forum, that thread got moved to help. umm wtf.
get rid of 11 of the 12 mods and teach the one remaining about which threads go where.

Also, many topics are directed to the big "discuss" thread. (the one that was started before this forum even existed, with a ton of useless junk) Why make people go through that? It's convenient to only read threads of interest...
And why mess with threads that have been dead for days?

No, they are directed to be posted in general or Q&A. That's not difficult at all. This post has no place in the development section, period. It's not hard to read the rules and post in proper sections.
This isn't a debate, this is in the wrong section. Development goes in development. Questions in Q&A. Accessories in accessories. Everything else falls in general.

I'm referring to the five recently locked topics in the general section... So, if not many, certainly more than a few.

Didn't see those until you mentioned it. That seems ridiculous to me too. In fact I've never seen something like that done in other phone forums. I can imagine it being done for duplicate threads but forcing us to use s single thread seems ridiculous.

First OP Thread Closed & Moved out of the Development Section I will ask you to read the Forum Rules on Posting.
The Moderation Team is made of volunteers and they are Members just like you, if you see threads and or posts out of place...report them, vice posting in this manner.
The Moderation Team can not be in all threads,...again if you find threads that need addressing report it, we rely on Members to point out issues/violations.
Thank You.

No offense, but if he wanted to be named a Dev he would do what's required for him to do to get the name.
If he chooses not to then so be it, threads like this aren't needed.

Please spend 2 seconds to google Recognized Developer XDA. It requires the developer to fill out the application and agree to the Code of Conduct. Petitioning the moderators will have a negative result on the decision of the Developer Committee that reviews the application.
Code of Conduct terms are also required for RT and RC status. All RTs and RCs were informed that if they violate the rules and CoC they will lose their title for a defined period. We have rules here for a reason and expect all title holders to set an example of how to follow those rules. Also members are warned before an infraction occurs and are well aware of the rules they are breaking. If they say otherwise they are not stating the whole truth. Just like the RT/RC/RD's Moderators are also bound by these rules and Code of Conduct. Violations of that result in moderators being removed from their position. The rules are there for a reason, to keep some semblance of order on a site with over 5 million members.
Thanks you

Because Infamous is too boss for XDA.
I am not certain about what happened regarding all of the Infamous threads being locked, and under what circumstances this has occurred. All I do know is that there were thousands of xda members who have downloaded Infamous ROMs, and whom were very intune with many of the threads, as the over 10,000 posts and over 1,000,000 views indicate, and now all these members, including myself, are left in a lurch, so to speak, as there will not be anymore updates, ROM participation, communication amongst the members who had a vested interest in all of the Infamous ROMs, in addition to missing out on the camaraderie, which in my opinion, was the most important feature of Infamous Development, members helping members, and gladly doing so, which xda is all about.
Just my 4 cents, for what it's worth.
I for one, will surely miss the Camaraderie, of that there's no doubt....
I thought the updates were going to be on their website

Yall do know he left and ASKED to have his threads locked and to be banned because he acted like a child stomping his feet crying because he lost his dev tag. Which to be quite honest, he modded stock roms and added strings to the settings of aokp for app shortcuts and renamed aokp like it was all his work.
If yall want to stomp your feet? Stomp them at Jamison for acting like a child about it and leaving on his own want.

And Because he is a Marine, and the way I've seen him handle himself in the threads and posts that I've been able to read, I'll give Jamison the benefit of the doubt.
Being a Marine and serving in the Armed Services goes a long way with me....
And being a Marine, amongst other reasons, most likely gave Jamison the fortitude to realize that all of this drama just ain't worth it, and wasn't going to sacrifice his morals and beliefs, and acquiesce to those whom he felt were not giving him a fair shake. I'm not speaking for Jamison, but this is how I feel, without knowing All the facts, but going on what I do know and have read....
I'm out too, as I'd like to see this thread stay open so that members have a little something to read regarding the closing of all these threads. Members at least deserve to know what occurred, where ever the cards may fall, but sadly that may never happen, and that's the most important issue as I see it regarding all of this.....
This Thread is Closed as it is just causing more un-needed drama; the threads in question are closed as the OP has chosen to leave XDA.
