As a first time Android device owner who likes to tinker, I search/read MANY forums. This sub-forum is THE pinnacle of learning for me. This place has the top tier crazy-smart code monkeys who are generous enough to take their time and share their knowledge all while asking for very little or nothing.
Suggestion for all my co-noobs: Support these people! Make the little suggested donations. Without them we would have slower, and much less (fun)ctional phones. And we would also probably still be frustrated contributors to the empires of Bill & Steve.
I wish i could report these posts without actually having to open and read them...
I'm with you.
Why this thread is most likely in the wrong place. I'm with you. The community around here is great. Most of the threads are really well detailed and most people here are very generous and willing to help others. For a first time Android owner like myself who came in with no knowledge whatsoever, this forum help me get my phone just the way I want it within just a couple of days. I really want to say thanks as well.
Report it? That is a little HARSH ....
Maybe suggest to the OP that he request it be moved to general .....
to the OP, I do agree with you, the devs here are great, most do it for fun and respect but the occasional donation could not hurt ......
Moving it to general now. But thumbs up on the post! Developers do take a lot of their free time to provide us with nice modifications.
reporting is harsh... unfortunately we only have one mod, who happened to be on the ball tonight.. (+1 sombionix)..
Ill do whatever I can do to help keep this section clean.. this is how I was told I could contribute....

Really? A guy stops to express appreciation and urge others to donate to the developers and this is your response? You cry like a little *****?
Wahhh! I wanna report him! Wahhh!
All that because you felt my thanks was posted in the wrong place???? The devs were who I wanted to thank, so that's where I addressed it, period. There was really no need for you to send the ship into Warp 7 Drama Queen Mode.
I've read about a hundred+ of your posts. I know you're a big contributor & like I said, I'm grateful for the education where I am lacking it. So let me return the favor and educate you in an area where you are lacking:
Act like a man and have some class.
Don't be some arrogant little punk. Treat people the same way you would if you were face to face, as opposed to safely ensconsed in the wired, anonymous rapture of your mommie's basement.
Get some freakin' balls dude.
You don't stop in the middle of a busy intersection to thank the construction workers installing the light...
Read the rules for the forum.... the forum mod moved the thread just as fast as I reported it...

These really are pointless threads. Show your thanks by taking your own advice.
As some of you may have noticed a few threads have dissappeared in the DEV section
This is because of two reasons, the first being the Developer wanting to leave xda, the second being the sheer level of bad language to be found in them.
I also want to remind everyone that opening a topic to ask a developers to come back is not helpful or wanted, and they are currently being deleted. And those certain members who feel hat they have been wronged and start rom bashing. will be dealt with severely
Please Feel free to PM me or any other mod with a concern

no x10 section is under the enter forums rules, however if a person spams or trolls then they get seen to fast
In other words the rules you agreed to when you registered.
an idea, or suggestion, but...
i [read no one of importance] think this would be an opportune time to clean things up in the different forums, maybe enforce a general guideline for devs in thread naming and structure, maybe eliminate some of the stickies that are no longer needed [ie 2.1 after effects and 2.1 rom coming soon, petition for froyo, etc] so more important stickies don't get lost in sticky land [ie forum rules/guidelines].
i think with some structure and uniform, people wouldn't be so quick with the "create another thread about gingerbread coming" mentality.
just a suggestion and in no way telling anyone how to moderate their forum.
This dev who shall not be named has many people who adrore or hate him . The people who liked him are now taking everychance to criticize other devs

Apparently this has arise again today, it was matter of time. We need a community of sharing and friendly environment without threads turning in flame wars and offensive. Actions will be trigger to those who fuel this no matter what their status are (devs or members).

Free open source is being misused. These devs are contributing for free. Free source doesn't mean we can expect slavery or even cooperation.
What? Are you going to say that since a person isn't updating or contributing fast enough, or even having disagreements with others, that they don't deserve the opportunity to participate in an open and free forum?
Edit: Not to mention, that most of the people *****ing are senior members who contribute nothing more than assistance to noobs who break more xda rules than any developer, and the fact that Trip provides some of the best ROMs for the X10 should elevate him to untouchable status.
Anyone who talks **** about Trip better be a majorly contributing developer, otherwise just shut up.

I agree with you. They offer a ROM that is free for everyone to use. Where does it say that they are obliged to update it? Whether they do or don't is completely up to them. As for the flaming and taunting, I do not agree with that and everyone, whether its a dev, mod or member should exercise courtesy and respect towards others. It seems that this forum has turned into a soap opera lately which is really disappointing.

Just a small thinking.Well,I don't want to be banned
Just ignore me if this is offensive
You firstly mentioned that that dev doesn't have the intension to continue his work.But I am wondering if he had given such comments here on his/other posts.Would you mind to provide some evidence?I am pretty sure that you deleted the posts after you have read some of his comments.
For the sheer level of bad language,I always read post.
In a war,yes,it is no doubt that some devs here are/were arguing because someone want to protect his own work,personally I think it would be better to define the level of bad language.Calling people a copycat,saying someone is a glitch violate the rules?Language is not maths,meanings of word varies from person to person.
Also,it is understanding that someone speaks bit rudely when he is in anger.
Furthermore,what if that dev really can show some evidence that someone might forget to give him credit?
Thanks for reading

Really disappointed about what has happened here. I woke up to see the x10 forums in pieces.
I'm sure the aim of this forum is to forge cohesiveness between users who are willing to learn and share with developers who are willing to selflessly Take time out of their busy schedule to cook up roms for our users
I know that whatever I'm gonna say here ain't gonna change the mod ' s mind but I hope the mods can really come clean about what really happened here instead of using vague terms like "attitude problem" or "unwilling to work on updates" when he releases updates almost once a day. Just like a democratic government, and citizens of a democracy, transparency and accountability to the people should top priority

Sad to see him leave, only for the developments he provided to X10, the conflict wont be missed but what I seem to be missing is about 30 or 40 post to my post count. This has happened before to me when he closed/deleted a thread of his. It is not really important in the grand scheme of things but my posts were not offensive, mostly helpful and relevant questions to Trip or others. Is it fair that I (others also) loose or have a reduction to their post count throught the deletion of the thread? I dont post a lot so will take a little time to build it back up lol. Cheers

If you are too blind to see the issue then leave. YOU aren't helping, you're making this harder on yourself.
Is there anyone here who's actually willing to work with the mods to resolve these "issues"?
Simply starting a thread complaining isn't going to help if you can't have a civil discussion with the mods.
the issue is that any thread regarding "epic general chat" in the "epic general chat" section is closed, yet numerous unrelated flaming, trolling threads remain open.. how is a thread asking where to begin learning to develop for the epic off topic in the "epic" general chat?
Ok, so which threads were closed that you feel shouldn't have been? Apart from the two that were closed by Mr. Clown?

What planet are you from? The issue is you mods keep closing helpful and meaningful threads with no explanation, then leaving the useless and detrimental ones open for the trolls to devour. Obviously there is some sort of disconnect, so please sort out your internal troubles before coming in here flaunting your moderator status. Chris41g and I have been here for quite some time so we're no stranger to the overpowering by mods, but at some point it has to stop and I think now is a great time. We go months and months without seeing a single moderator and now all of a sudden you guys come in and starting closing/deleting threads left and right with no explanation. Please refer me to whoever you have as a supervisor, I would like to speak to them directly if not tonight then tomorrow.

Hello !
Other Xperia phones (Z/Z1 .....) have a Whatsapp group that they can get answers and discuss about smt.
I think that we should create a Whatsapp group so we can get answers instantly.
I created the group. Write your phone num's if you want, i'll add them.
Seeking clarification : Is it dev related or just a general forrum ??
I don't think intimidating devs to participate in normal chats and provide answers like ETAs is a good idea.
PS : I don't know how the other groups like those of Z/Z1 discuss and what info they share to be precise
We have a chat group dedicated to the Xperia SP. Ive just created it and some of my guys will be joining to answer queries. We'll also be putting sneak peaks at developments there too.

It is funny how I get a few reports sometimes about often very random messages,
but most of the time it's not a problem, even fun or people who need help.
But if there's something I really dislike, it's people putting words in my mouth so to speak,
hence here write fictional things that would very well look as if I really wrote that on one of our dev chats.
Firstable, that's not how I would have reacted or answered.
Secondly, things we talk about and new things that are being worked on stay on that dev chat and don't get to be missused somewhere else,
not that it happened yet but just to make things clear for a foreseeable future event.
Finally, on a more general and also personal matter, although opening one other chat accessible to everybody world-wide could seem like a good idea, it would
- 1. Be illogical in face of the public & shared support over XDA, which everyone else with similar problems can have access to
- 2. Create an even more impossible amount of chats & individual issues to handle daily, which in most of our cases is incompatible with the work to be done,
I personally already use most of my free time and would need double to get everything done, I would not / could not be part of such an additional chat.
- 3. I'm ok with groups of communications, maybe on Telegram or FB or whichever you prefer, but do not request us to be there by all means.
So.. I hope everyone gets what I'm trying to express here, the reasons we / I can not cope with (nor survive) such amount of things to handle,
and that in a general understanding the various communities accept the fact we are not armies of drones, sadly only a few passionate devs and contributors.

Oh man you guys seriously like to blow things out of proportion hahaha. Let me clear some few things up and add on to what @AdrianDC has said
We are a bunch of contributors and developers working in the background in ensuring the Xperia SP community get's ROMs and feature sets when available. We are not paid (except for me who donates to some of the lads here) to do work and we invest time hoping to make the days of others to be better knowing that their device is still far more worth than its upfront monetary value
Me, Adrian, Pranav, Boylush, Titan and loads of other devs with the exception of Infected and some stock sony devs are constantly chatting in private in our telegram groups. We've bonded to the point where we're really good friends and it might not seem to be at XDA but it most certainly is at our Telegram Groups
That April Fools joke was a joke. The main reason why its a joke and why creating a group is a joke is because the amount of spam and questions that flow in are too much for only a bunch of volunteers to handle (like what was mentioned by adrian). The closest thing we have to a social networking site for the Xperia SP will be the XSP Facebook Group that I was a part of. The reason why i quit that group is because it was really difficult to answer the same questions again and again even when there was a pinned guide and at some point, a wiki which i hosted to provide a plethora of answers
and as what Adrian has mentioned again, PLEASE don't put words into the mouths of developers, contributors and standard members alike. It creates confusion and etc. When I say it is a joke, it is a joke and if it didn't seem like one, keep it to yourself and don't confuse others by making conspiracy theories. Yes, it is my fault for not putting the jk at the end sooner but that does not give you the right to put words into the mouths of others without knowing the relationship between the 2 parties.
Hope you all understand and don't repeat the mistakes shown here. Cheers
Beside the overreacting comments, I would like you to thank you all again for the amazing work with the XSP.
But remember, it was a "Imaginary dialogue" Never meant to speak in your name, or putting words out of your mouth, or anyone in that matter. I admire your work. NEXT TIME, lets all make a good interpretation of words, shall we?
Thank you.
Ps. Was a silly jk too Obergruppenführer
the joke by fuury was only a joke ...the joke by the users who created the dialogue was only a joke ....the replies by adrian and furry were reasonable replies ....believe me they are talking very nice so don't get them wrong or get mad as i feel some did
so.....how about no more replies here ...can we do that please ? thanks for all the comments and for participating in this show
let's stop it here before it turns to (ding ding ding welcooooome to WWE main show tonight ...BOOOOARRRRRRRR) ....OP please contact any MOD and close this thread
