Yes bro. But I can't worry about what the haters think about me. All I can control is how I take feedback and grow. Whether you flash my ROM or not is your choice. But at least I have the decency to try my best and to keep my silly comments to my self ,and not to discourage people who make ROMs for my enjoyment. Maybe something some of the members on XDA should work on. That's just my take on it though. Everyone is entitled to an opinion right.
Peace out!

Constructive feedback:
1. Actually make a rom, don't just kang one, change the name and promise big things to come that never happen.
2. Communicate in your roms thread. Help people troubleshoot problems. Don't just give one sentence replies that point to basic fixes that most of us know isn't going to help. That's called brushing people off. Also, when a guy tests something for you, and reports it boot loops, don't just ignore him and never reply. Also....actually hitting quote when you reply to someone makes things far less confusing. And spamming your own thread with post after post in a row is messy. Collect your thoughts first and post once.
3. Keep your thread on topic. Don't use one roms thread to promote a bunch of other projects. Its confusing. People have no idea what they are flashing when you put up all these links to roms that have nothing to do with the opening post.
4. If people constantly flame your threads....take a good look at what they are criticizing. Sometimes they are completely right. Even if the way they said it was perhaps rude or sarcastic.
You say you control how you take feedback and grow? So do it. Grow. You've had a lot of feedback, granted some hasn't been presented the best way, but still....people have "complained" that your communication is weak, you don't support your roms well, you "borrow" too much and don't add original work to your roms and most of all your threads are a mish mash mess. Look at your carbon thread ....the carbon rom stopped being updated and you just started tossing test rom after test rom out and going on about future plans that never saw the light of day. Was a completely confusing and mess of a thread.
Why am I spending all this time saying all this? To offend you? No....I don't even know you, why go out of my way to offend you. Look at my stats, my thanks equal about a third of my total posts. I like to help. Yes, I don't like seeing crap go on and bullying.....and its led to my share of arguing....but I try to help.
The more devs working on our phone the better. So I'm trying to help YOU see what needs improving.
Please understand, we just don't need more and more drama here. And if you repeat the past, drama will follow you for sure.
See ya around

And I will add this. Sorry to say, but I've seen you ask some really novice questions in other rom threads. Ones a "dev" should know the answers to....or at the very least be able to search and find a very easy and quick answer to. This makes it appear that you don't know a whole lot. Anyone can read a guide and kang or port roms, but why? We don't need a bunch of identical roms with different names. Of course some ports are nice, but you are not a "dev" cause you can port and kang and maybe cherry pic a few extras.
Why not learn some more before sharing projects? If you put out something unique and/or original ......watch the flaming stop quickly.

1. Thanks for your feedback. I do appreciate it.
2. If you have a problem with my kangs or ports don't flash in fact don't even look at the ROM. And bro you claim to try to help me. But if you are not trying to get at me why don't you just send me a pm. Huh? You wine and cry because I have links of different ROMs on my one thread. But I really don't even see the problem with that. LOOK AT THE OP. You can find what you are looking for there. Because posting my ROMs on one thread is better than having several threads with my name on it.
3.And I hate to break it to you. But a lot of my novice questions were asked when I was a novice. And I ask them so that I can learn and put more knowledge to my arsenal.
4. If you are tired of seeing the same thing. You better get used to it. Android is recycled material. And I only do ports for Roms that this device doesn't have to add to this device's arsenal. So please don't hate if you don't like the ROM being ported. Just flash another ROM. We have plenty.
Finally... If you have any more problems with how I develop my ROMs I really don't care bro. Comment bugs and fixes not schemes. If you really want a particular ROM from me pm me and I'll do my best. That goes for any comment you have.
Peace out!
P.S if you like to help don't put that jello garbage or cat crap on my questions. I don't have time for that bs. Keep that to yourself. In fact you haven't even helped me at all with any of my aroma questions just saying....
No one is helping with your aroma questions because you lost all credibility here, at least in the t989 section!
Have a nice day!

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

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.

I think the development section after selecting it should then have sections for EACH version rom. ie. Froyo, Gingerbread, ICS.
So that when you are looking at what is being developed you are not diluted with newer releases of older versions when you are really trying to find the best of a specific version.
This would allow it to be more organized.
+1 Would save a lot of confusion for noobs as well. Specific mods for specific version go in that section and so on and so forth .. yeah. Like it.
well there is only gingerbread and ICS, some mods are universal so you would have to post twice? and would you split up the theme and apps section too?
Good idea. Truth is though just more places for non readers to post in the wrong sections.

This idea is irrelevant because all people have to do is read. Even if the Title doesn't say the firmware version, the OP will 9 times out of 10.
The thought is good, but in reality.....nah bro
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Why the hell not? Even if the
OP does contain the firmware version, it would stop a lot of the confusion for the noobs that don't read. As for people that DO read, it would be convenient to go in a section with, say, just ICS ROMs, to check out the latest goodies instead of having to look through all the GB ROMs and other things that aren't ICS related.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
If people don't read And flash and destroy....it's their fault.. There are already "please read if you're new" posts or "if you're new to ICS" posts. If people are lazy and disregard proper guided precautions to help inform everybody before they start messing with expensive phones....then a bricked phone is what you'll get.

Is this not the way it already is? If you can't be bothered to read a few lines of text maybe you shouldn't be flashing anything to your phone.
2.3.X = GB
4.0.X = ICS
Pretty difficult, i know.

I think most people commenting are missing the point. Of course its not that important to people like us who come here often and keep up with everything.
But if you imagine the noob who means well, and is just trying to find the information that he needs, this web board is immensely cluttered.
Honestly, thats why you have so many noobs posting dumb questions and asking the same things over and over again. Most people aren't trying to clutter the forums, but when they can't find what they want quickly they give up and just start their own thread which gets on everyones nerves.
i think more sub-headings and forum breakdowns would help a lot honestly. And at the very least give mods a fresh place to police and (hopefully) control post whoring.

Oh boo hoo those poor noobs we need to hand them step by steps and make sure that everyone has the opportunity to flash rooms! Rom flashing is a basic human right and every American should get it free of hassle!
I say the free account registration inhibits minorities like the computer illiterate and old people, we should abolish this account registration so everyone has the opportunity to post anything!
In fact those poor souls who brick their phones should get new ones for free, I mean the developers get donations so they should spread the wealth around it would be better for everyone!

I find it hard to believe clutter is the reason dumb threads are started.
Raise your hand if you have seen someone post a question or news item that has already been posted less than 5 threads down in the first page of general at the time of posting.
*raises hand*
Forums sections are well explained and disclosed, even if people rant and flame at noobs, it is still a noob friendly atmosphere here, the problem also is that devs and senior members still repeat themselves overe and over trying to help noobs and besides alot of members on xda are just too lazy to read, only screwing up people learn to either not to touch or mess with something they shouldn't have mess with in first place, nobody was born knowing all, yet nobody was born brainless, if people screw up after so many threads of guides and how to's lost in limbo around the forums, let them screw up, imbeciles only see the finger that is pointig the right direction.
If stickies, guides and bibles haven't helped, it is useless to clutter this forums with more subforums

Would asking a MOD to move them to the proper section be asking for trouble? I am just curious because it is cluttering up section and making it hard to find things...

The way I see it, they are technically Android Development, as are all the ROMs in the original section. And, they are technically not original projects since they are heavily based on someone else's work. Ideally we would have a sub section for Stock and a sub section for AOSP/CM based ROMS, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
I do feel your pain though. The Android section is getting to be quite a mess.

Well that's the thing, original development is for the AOKP/AOSP and CM9/10 ROMS and Android Development is for the TW based ROM's be they stock or otherwise. It is so confusing...

Please don't get me wrong. I love any dev that is putting new stuff out. But.... When they are putting stuff in the wrong section, it is confusing and bothersome.
Only original development IMO is CyanogenMod and AOKP everything else is based or a copy of those two.

NO. Original development is for Original work. Just taking CM source and compiling it is not original work. The Official CM ROMs and first AOKP ROMs ONLY go in Original Development. Everything else goes in regular development. There is a sticky in Original Development explaining more.

We can't start breaking down ROMs by aosp, tw, etc. Mopar, that's just too much for the admins. *Most* of the time, they are labeled and if not, users will just have to read for themselves (like they need to be doing anyway). If you guys feel like something is out of place, then you can pm any one of us in this section, and we'll go over it.

I have an idea to make sure noobs read the OP. Instead of a capcha to access the DL there should be a randomly inserted question based on the OP to get the DL link. If you answer the question wrong you can't retry for 10 mins, answer it wrong more then 3x can't DL for 24hrs so they have time to re read

We definitely need to do something about the new guys and everyone else not following rules and posting in the wrong sections. Just in the past week, I have seen probably 30 posts get moved from General to QA. As well as new members trying to be internet gangsters when the get called out on their crap. I personally feel like punishments should be a bit more strict not just as a punishment for the person with the infraction but to save other users from having to deal with the crap that is getting dished out. I see a potential for a ton of good things in the future and I have a ton of ideas for structuring how things are handled. It is obvious that we have a lot more average users than we do admins/mods, maybe having a few more would benefit everyone and setting up a sort of system to make it easier for those mods and admins to keep things organized. I personally have had people tell me that I should look into being a mod because i don't take crap from anyone and I normally don't act like a flipping idiot when responding to the top tier morons that want to act stupid for attention. If a mod wants to contact me about my ideas and such, please feel free to do so.

I personally have had people tell me that I should look into being a mod because i don't take crap from anyone and I normally don't act like a flipping idiot when responding to the top tier morons that want to act stupid for attention. If a mod wants to contact me about my ideas and such, please feel free to do so.

You can put all the suggestions and questions you have all right here:

The admins and MC do pay attention to it, believe me.

I agree with the advantage of having more Mods and Admins, but you need to be careful about having too many. I've seen too many other communities die because of admin bickering and the admins getting really egotistic.
Also, I knew where you were going gray, before you finished the fourth sentence. Maybe a bit more subtle with your plugs, eh?

I have an idea to make sure noobs read the OP. Instead of a capcha to access the DL there should be a randomly inserted question based on the OP to get the DL link. If you answer the question wrong you can't retry for 10 mins, answer it wrong more then 3x can't DL for 24hrs so they have time to re read

Oh and it should be a fill in the blanks so they actually have to read to find the missing word/s

Something kind of along these lines was implemented into the JusTunBean inverted apps thread ages ago.
He was getting fed up with all the members who weren't reading the OP and continued to ask stupid questions so he asked other RCs what we could do.
An idea was suggested to hide a password in the OP somewhere. Once the password had been found, the member had to enter the password into an app which would then provide them with a download link.
The password was broken down into three parts and placed randomly in the OP but it would be clear which words were part of the password and which ones weren't.
It's just a shame that he removed the password because too many idiots were asking for it/moaning about it.
I would love it if every rom posting would go back to the format of what is working and not...it is hard to keep flashing roms just to see what is working or not...plus I'm sure I'm wearing out my phone flashing 5 roms in a day just to find out they all have the same flaws or not or even if it was fixed..ie does video calling work, or hml, or any other feature that this phone can normally do...remember when devs use to have 2 lists in the op and pictures so you could window shop for your rom and not have to spend the time downloading, wiping and flashing just to restore your nandroid because you don't like the look or the fact some things don't work...it would really help and it only takes a couple of minutes.....thank all of you for your time and development of this device...

Although I agree, your going tone other get zero response or (and more probable) catch flack about being demanding.
While typically, the android community development is free, everyone has became accustomed to the idea that eta's, change logs, working/not working lists are simply below them. Perhaps in their eyes it is. What I would like to remind everyone is this...time isn't limitless, and can be very valuable to some. If you don't like the community feedback (ie. Asking for these lists; small stuff) than maybe you should just (loosely) develop and/or cook ROMs for your own personal use. Xda is a community... A community built on knowledge, user base, and the good ol' boy system.
Just remember what we are here for. We all own a T989 and want to make our devices outlast even the newer models.

The point I'm trying to make is that it would stop cluttering up all the threads with people asking if stuff works all the time when they can just read the op... I see countless people asking if stuff works because they don't know...

You're assuming that people will read and thus not need to ask. As someone who spent over a year developing for the vibrant I couldn't even count the times that I either directed someone's questions to the op that contained the answer or just ignored the questions all together. Now as just an onlooker who casually flashes I read the op and if I don't see the answer I want I watch the thread and let others ask/answer or do my own research like checking out gerrit or just move on and find something else.
When I was building ROMs I would spend hours at the computer and by the time I got around to posting my work I may have forgotten one or two things so change logs were usually only partial.
Getting the latest software on your phone while free does take a little effort on the part of the user.

I'm not asking for a change log just a simple list of what is working and not it's like 6 things and never really changes unless something is fixed...I think you guys are really missing the point...

O and about the free thing I don't ask anyone to do this for us and I certainly don't expect it but if you are going do something for a lot of people than do it right...I do a lot of free things in my life...I'm a dj for 27 years in sfla and I have to spin for free most of the time because nobody wants to pay, but that doesn't mean that I am going to do a subpar job for all my fans just because I'm not going to get paid...I do it because I love it and if someone had a request I don't say well I'm doing this for free so too bad...I hate that argument you guys always use...and I donate where appropriate....

Well the reason this is happening is because 4.2 just came out. People are curious to know what works and what doesn't. Devs haven't had enough time to check all of the glitches and bugs. Devs also rely on us for fixing bugs because they don't always have the time to do it.
As per the same questions being asked over and over, people simply don't know what the search button does.
And yeah :thumbup:

Wow! Someone just makes a basic request and gives thanks to developers, and suddenly everyone is all over him and getting all defensive about developers feelings or something. How did it turn into this??
I kind of agreed with the request as far as how nice it might be to know pros and cons of each rom without reading through pages and pages of useless posts in the dev threads to find out each detail. It seems to me that most developers appreciate it when more people are using their rom (and obviously people appreciate the rom they're using) sooo...it might help people to understand what they're flashing and they might be more likely to flash a rom that they understand from a end-user point of view.
If developers don't want to add a list of what works and what doesn't to the OP, then they don't have to. If developers want to help flashers in their decision-making process (and likely boost the number of people using their rom), then adding such a list might help.
As far as I can tell, that's the end of the story.
So if the Op doesn't state what's working, then people have the right to clutter threads and annoy them, right? Its a win win situation, unless devs like being asked the same question a billion times. It could help keep the clutter to a minimum but its up to the devs. Not that I'm demanding a perfect op, but there are reasons as to why people ask and ask.
1. Too lazy to read.
2. Fast response wanted(see 1)
3. Op doesn't state what's working.
4. Search doesn't always help( at least for me on the xda app.)
5. People want a solution.

OP, your post has been noted and understood. But so that there isn't any bashing/flaming happening, closing the thread, as I removed a couple "not needed" type of posts already in this thread.
Thank You.
Now that we have a stock Jelly Bean Rom...how close are we to things such as CM10.1 and AOKP?
Have you even looked through the forums!!! Stop asking about ETA'S!!!

From what I've been told we they are really close, but again they aren't going to put anything out that doesn't work fully so as for a real time frame, when everything works and they feel it's ready for mainstream consumption
Why don't you look in the dev forums. That's where it'll be posted

I'm not bugging the devs...I was asking the community in general? Its just I came from the Nexus S which had well over 100 roms to the Optimus which only has 2. So I have just been confused why there aren't a few more for this device which is much better than my nexus. Im not even asking for ETA's mainly just if anyone knew about more roms being made. I probably should have worded it more clearly.

jbrooks58. We don't mean to be harsh. You came from a nexus, a device that have open source to a device that is branded by LG running LG software. It takes time to develop for getting around minor hurtles may take weeks unlike on a nexus our dev community works hard and we now have a flashable JB zip. Things are in the works but there are a few things that still need fixed.

I see both sides of this coin, since i kinda just went through the same thing. I understand that he was just asking a question, but on the other hand there are probably over 10 discussions with the answer he is looking for.
But on the other hand, you are newer than me even, so welcome to the community, try to read and search before asking questions, and try not to double post either, just edit your last post if no one has replied.

The name calling is uncalled for, especially when you're taking advantage of the work that these people are putting in. This community has enough negativity as it is, and we certainly don't need any more.
Egos aside we're all on the same team here. Either appreciate the work or give constructive advice/suggestions. Enough of the insulting.

Also, alot of the reason we only have 2 roms was because we were stuck on ICS. Not many people want to develop on an older OS, expecially when we knew there was an update right around the corner. So it was the waiting game. Now that JB has been released, and the source code has been dropped, this place will start lighting up. This is one of the best phones out right now, and it will start getting attention. So for now, research, read, contribute what you can, and enjoy the ride.
In all honesty none of those thread touch on how close we are to being AOSP, so his question is relevant. In every thread you get the same answer, either "we have already answered that question", "when it is fully ready to go", "were still testing things so it's going to be a few more weeks". I want to make it clear that I'm not complaining, And am very happy with what you guys are doing, but if we had a little better information about what is going on and what the problems are maybe people would stop posting so much.
If you want to know anything about ROM's/AOSP, go to the IRC. They constantly are talking about it on there.
