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

ill be getting round to this later today
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).
Thanks,

Just one question could you please kindly explain why you mods just delete Trip's threads while you clean up other threads If the same thing happens? I think if you ban the flamers does the job not to delete the whole thing. Thanks

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

Agree with above....
Also how can mods say "one reason was because he didnt work on updates"... WTF.... He does this for FREE and where in rules does it say "if u release a rom then u must provide frequent updates"

This is what Ive noticed, especially when there are some new update for modules and ROM's;
1. A massive repeated posting regarding new updates.
Its not that we dont want to help you guy's who has difficulties installing ROMs/Module to your phone, but please before posting new topic make sure you consult SEARCH button first, then if you dont find any answer thru searching then its the time to consult. I dont know if we are just lazy to search or what. This is all for us to have a well organized Section and for us to find topic easily. Isnt great to have a single thread so that newbie will not have to search back and post a new topic with already answered one? As you can see Forum for X8 and other are already Categorized, so please post in the right section. Some user made an effort already to organize the topics by making a FAQ with it, so i suggest we should use it for general concern about specific topic. Maybe we can control this massive posting by just dont answering there query if we knew that there question already been answered. Hmm dont think that's rude but i think it will help. Coz if we answer it, they will keep on doing that all over again if they encounter another problem. I also admit that I did this sometime thats why if you could notice i use "we". And i want to change it.
2. Flamming
also known as bashing, is hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users. It is clearly noticeable, that we argue in certain things, but please not to the point that we are already fighting/degrading and hurting someone's feeling so please RESPECT each other, If your good/great then be it, but we have to welcome a newbie gracefully, lets make them feels that they were home and accepted. Im sure we once get here clueless about things or if not, not so knowledgeable enough, we are not in a competition here and we don't question your greatness and knowledge, were proud of it. This is a training ground not a battle ground. Were here to have a harmonious relationship with others, besides we are all FAMILY here. I know for some reason that we just dont stay here to get what we want to our phone, but simply to help each other.
3. Patience
I know it is good to have all what we want, but please stop forcing/requesting repeatedly to our developer, we didnt hired them to work for us, besides they are sharing there work for FREE, and even they ask for some donations, well they have the right to do so, as they are working for us. Imagine if all our developer will be get hired by SE and charge us for all their great work. They will have a better career there, and what do you think will happened to us who are just benefited by there free work? Think of that. So please let's be patient, extend your patience give all there time to find the solution. BTW reporting bugs is different from asking/requesting. It just make our dev's annoyed and might lose interest to work for our many cries. They want to give us a stable home for our phone and they knew about that, so we dont have to tell them what to do, well in fact they know more than you do.
These are just some of my observation. Dont get me wrong here coz its for the common good. I may not give you any ROM,s or Module but i can give you Life Lesson and Love. And if you will hate me for this, well sorry but i will just love you and hug you until such time you realize what I am saying here.
Isn't it great to have a good relationship with everyone and i doubt that you don't feel something when you help someone! I just dont get ROM, Modules and learning here, the most important I gained friends!
Well, it takes two to cuddle and i totally agree with u on this

Well i think its normal for them to ask, coz we the user use more our phone than they do. It will took them sometime to release a ROM is they will test every single function in there work. There work is to provide us the ROM/Modules. If they asked us to look for bugs, then that's also the time for us to work, in return with there great work. Coz i know that they will stop developing if we dont tell them about the problem we encountered. Besides they also get idea's to us. Many heads are better than One. And this is also what you called helping hands. Give and Take process not Take and Take (that's a bad idea) .. wink. oh btw I love ya too.

I daily check some forums (not only x8) and what i mostly see is people that reply to newbie posts in a rude and useless way, we all hate double posts, no search, requests, stupid posts but keep in mind that when you reply " yo, arent you able to use search ?" "use the dammit search!" , these are posts count at my eyes and rude replies.( i hate them )
If you find that someone did the same post over and over, if someone didn't use the search button or whatever, just ignore to reply and pm or report me and i will do something.

I think they will not delete it without a reason or purpose. Maybe your post was against the rules (i dont know), but im pretty sure Mod's here has its reason, and if it doesnt abuse/break rules then you can consult our moderators. Im pretty sure that they will give time to listen to your query or statement. Remember that they were chosen well and proved enough to be helpful. I think no mods here are using there power as a reason.
I firmly believes in the power of reason, not in the use of power/force as a reason.
Edited: GHoSTABUD, i see the one you posted, htc MT driver that uses synaptic right? Thats promising and pretty useful in the future i think.

I totally agree with you, If we dont have something good to say nor help better we keep our mouth shut, coz words is extremely hurtful. We encourage newbie to learn so that one day they will contribute to us, not discourage them because of our rude manners. I always say this, make them feel at home. Coz were once a newbie too.
DON'T DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU DON'T WANT OTHERS DO UNTO YOU
I deletd the that thread (and other 2) because there was another one made before and as the multitouch thread in the past, i've found useless having 8 threads for the same purpose.
Anyway i did copy your post and another one from the delòeted one and the sticky that i made early.

There should really be a separate thread for each rom opened up where all the bugs noticed and reported back in the development thread will get addressed with the solution.

Yes and this will organize everything.
That's a nice idea indeed.
You only need someone that take care of the thread while copying all reported bugs and fixes from the thread to the first page, otherwise it will be difficult to track bugs.

No worrie man, i didn't take it as an offence .....sometimes mods are seen as cops and you are not happy when you got an infraction from them
Anyway if you will find that it is a driver or something related to development, you can make a thread in dev forum:
_ give proper how to install
_ give credit where it's right
_ dont post any help questions
and you are done.

No offense OP, i don't know whether you know about this or not but these kinds of threads aren't encouraged in this forum. Every launcher is good, the developer designs it according to his whims and fancies, and every one has different views about 'em. It's best if you decide for yourself.

Dude, I agree with you. Having long discussions on our opinions of the launchers, roms and all that isn't wrong. Thing is, XDA is NOT the place for that. It's a place solely for development. Obviously noobs (like me) can enter the site and ask questions, but questions like these which initiate long discussions isn't good. Yes, we can have a thread and a poll with it, for users to vote for the best launcher they think, best rom, kernel and all that. But only ONE thread. Here we are seeing about 10 threads having only these questions.
Two main reasons why XDA discourages these kinds of threads :-
1) It increases the number of the threads in the forum, and makes it difficult for the moderator to clean up.
2) The money for maintenance of XDA dosen't grow on trees. It is solely dependent on donations and contributions from other users. Less number of these threads, less will be the problems in maintaining the site.
agree,
just try them all,
you can't rely on each others opinions on what's "the best"
there is no point in discussing this,
honestly i've tried a lot of launchers,
some were recommended by others but i did not like them,
so to prevent any spam and something pointless,
try all the launchers and see what you like best
So xda priority is for devs not noobs ??

XDA in its early stages had only a few members, and it's sole purpose was to be an area of development. Then it allowed other members to join so that they could know what fun they were missing from their phones, providing Q&A sections so that it could help these people. And, it's doing all of this for free.

let me reiterate that for you,
xda is a place to share and understand,
to learn and broaden the horizons of smartphone development,
this place is for everyone,
the noob, dev, average user and the like,
the wrong part is,
asking the same questions over and over,
we have a google and search button for looking at the best apps,
like this thread,
its pointless to ask what is the best launcher,
it also pisses off users and mods,
techno told me in a PM that its getting hard keeping the forum clean since nobody bothers to read anything or search,
every new user wants the quickest answer possible,
imagine if all of us are like that,
then xda would be a wet market for useless ****,
if i was a new user in xda and have no knowledge and i look at this thread and i saw someone post "XYZ launcher is the best",
i installed XYZ launcher in my phone but i found out that i hated it so i'd be dissapointed since he told me that XYZ was the best launcher and will also hate xda since i thought i was provided wrong information,
we need to act professional in this community since its aim is to provide development and share the knowledge about smartphones,
all of us are developers in our own unique way,
its not making roms and apps or themes that makes you a dev,
its how you act
nobody is a noob unless you act like one,
be a dev by respect
i hope i made it clear for everyone
have a nice day people,
its sunday

Yes.
And guys, this arguement is going off-topic. It would be best to stop now.

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.
Join us!

yeah and the dude is blind enough to look at the calendar :'(

Now the million $$$ ??? is that apart from the whatsapp group discussed about by OP is there any other group being used for general discussion on XP ? Actually existing ?
I think it was no jk at all.
look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66089379&postcount=30
I think it was second thoughts, and by that, I can only imagine this situation:
-Furry: Hey Adrian, guess what? I invite de hole community of XSP to our dev group.
-Adrian: Hahahahaha. Aprils joke its kind old dude.
-Furry: ...
-Adrian: Are you srly?
-Adrian: SHUT IT DOWN NOW! Those crazy nerds will nerver stop to complain and ask for a snap build, and stable Kernel, and S.. like this.
-Furry: Sorry dude :/
(end)

Well... thats why i believed that it was an April fools joke :-/ of course the whole XSP community will ask questions like (when the camera will be fully working) so yup, its better not to be true what Furry said : P
Sent from my Xperia SP using XDA Forums Pro.
A dev chat is a dev chat, it is best for us not to interfere and talk about it.
So....
back to the original plan? If yes, I'm in.

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
have a nice day all :fingers-crossed: :good:
Well.
I thought that group for chat-question about simple things, so our XDA forum will be cleaner and try to dont make busy our devs
[soooo much thanks and respect to them they really worth it !!!]
Sorry for misunderstanding...:crying:
