I want a free version of Winona Ryder to come and show me who's the daddy, and it's about as likely to happen, but no harm in asking...
Thug, please ensure that you've read this thread:

you're kiddin right?
thug2md - we don't do that. Now, you could WRITE one from scratch and share it here. That would be sweet.
This thread has all of the best free stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284501 ::: Posted from my Wizard :::
I'll give it to you
I will sell you a free version for $100. hows that, but you can't re-distrubute it..
No, no harm in asking but it rubbed me SO much the wrong way I just had to laugh at it, especially since it's also posted, almost verbatim, in howardforums. Ole one-post probably didn't bother reading a thing on either site since it takes what, 30 seconds to find a freeware thread, doesn't want to pay for software for his big shot expensive phone, expects whomever to steal it for him, goes by "thug" and what does any of this have to do with upgrading anything? It made me laugh even harder to see it on howardforums and get an even more terse and severe reply than yours, V.
im more amazed that you could find anything on HoFo..
But consider this your warning.. DO NOT ask for warez, etc on this board.. any further action COULD lead to being banned... if you are that concerned about free then read this board and see what people are using, then do your own search on the net for it, just do not publicly ask us for it..
wow, what a welcome
now this is what i call a warm welcome!! Stepping into a realm of what i thought was a brotherhood of telephone-techies that would have shared the wealth of knowledge and technologies (including but not limited to software) and instead i walked into the shadows of bashers and homo-erotics (four letter words and iron rods buddy??) A simple, "sorry, we dont ask for "free" software in this forum mr new guy" post would have not only made its point, but would have lead to a more focused & productive discussion. This is a hobby, a new one at that and i am learning, just like all of you have learned at one point. I guess some people feel a sense of power by flaming newbies in forums, so with that, FLAME on with your iron rods and 4 letter words while i enjoy my newly acquired "free software" that you paid $40 bucks for.
Good evening Gents
no one said we paid for our software either.. there are plenty of resources to getting the software, filesharing, websites, etc... but for the integrity of the board we do not discuss it, this is not a warez site
Also we were not flaming the newbie but merely instructing you that if you plan on being an active member of this site and community then you need to adhere to certain rules or be banned, its up to you.
Next time look around on these boards before posting.. if you would have looked you may have noticed that there are no discussion's on warez
i understand and will comply, however, things could have been said differently is all what im saying

I seen alot of trouble minded people around this part of XDA since i release my new ROM and been critise of been selfish and not sharing so here is my thoughts on the whole matter.
I have no obligations to no one on XDA or any people on the NET.
The ROM source wasnt shared as I was asked not to and promised not to as this could have implications.
For people who said I DONT SHARE just go back and check what contributions I made to this community.
Respect and Honour is amongst code of gentleman, I can release stuff to XDA as I usually do with new official roms/ radio but if I am not allowed to I WILL not break my promise just to please everyone.
I was astonished to see how people on the net who around 90% of us dont know each other can behave like this and make up accusations amongst others.
I deleted a thread which was posted by a user whic he asked me to just to clear this up for others, who created a new xda ID to prove a point.
I will release a X1 VERSION tomorrow of this ROM, and not sure when I will release another ROM at this time.
I will try and release SYS & XIP of the new build to XDA by few days time but OEM APPS will be not included has I cannot yet.
This is not anything to justify myself but to let everyone knows who are always trying to put good people down by backstabbing and secretively trying to plot against someone who think they could be competition for them.
I can cook for myself and not release to XDA but I think this is what other people would like so at last and not least:
Thanks for everyone who is still supporting my work, this thread will be closed soon, was only made to for everyone peace of mind as like what I said i havent no obligations to no one here.
CASE CLOSED
Dutty, I support you and many thanks for your sharing on ur cooked rom all the time.
Well said, and thanks for all your hard work.
Dear Dutty,
You ar ROm is really great!
I will already supoort you,
Please don't give up!
All I hear is a bunch of BS... You can release a ROM, but you can't release the OEMs ? "Code of honour" ? Yeah.. right... there is no "honour" amongst thieves...

LMAO!!! ya like that right? where dutty is from you say it like this....
"TIFE mon Nah have no respect ....and mi naaah fraid a dem!!!"
now then....i dont know how you manage to fool yourself...but xda is and will always be your life. You're a nerd just like the rest of us!
we've had a long standing relationship...and i take offense to being referred to as "the net." I am a real person with feelings dutty!
its only now i realize this....the only reason you never moved to America is just so you could avoid having the same phone as me??? so you wont have to cook a rom for me??? you sir have no ethics. none!
ps. you thought by locking the thread you could keep my bafoonary away??? NO SIR! i will have my pointless word heard at all cost!
I have to apologize for a mistake i made.
This post is my personal apology for a mistake i made moderating that might have caused a lot of discussion, this is not the official XDA answer to this whole situation.
There was indeed a thread about a rom that got deleted because the OP posted a request to get the thread Closed.
An OP has the right to do that, whatever ones opinion is about that is unfortunate but that does not outweigh the right everyone has to remove his or her own posting or re-editing them.
Dutty being a moderator did what would be expected and close the thread.
Now there's always people that have suspicions, so a thread was started that had e screen shot of the archived version of that thread.
NOW here's where i made a mistake.
The screenshot that was posted to ask the big question why the thread disappeared actually had the answer in it to explain why the thread was gone.
As i saw the action of this thread's purpose sole purpose was to discredited a Moderator in Public and posting information that was removed by a moderator. My first reaction was to uphold for whatever reason the thread was removed to trust my fellow Moderator and remove the screenshot.
This was done quickly do keep everyone's head cool.
But i acted to quickly and didn't read everything that was in the screenshot and especially the last two posts.
Maybe if the screenshot of the removed thread wasn't removed everything would have been more clear and a lot of bull and accusations would not have been directed towards Dutty.
In the end mistakes happen, but it's shocking to see how easily and quickly the rumour mill can go these days here at XDA.
Maybe it wouldn't have been different if the screenshot was still there, who knows.
But i do feel that it might have made a difference if it was still online and that i acted to quickly on that.
Here's the screenshot and i hope a few people scratch their heads reading that Dutty (as he always does), provides information on troubles he's having and finding in the rom and in the end closes the thread.

Dutty is not a friend of mine, but i do respect him.
And i'm sorry he had to endure another gulf of acusation based on assumptions over something that was being looked at.
The days that i was 24/7 on XDA are over and it's only logical that not all of us can always respond swiftly.
But even now already a few other threads are starting up the same discussion.
Patience Please,
We have one awesome Admin with only one pair of hands and eyes.
Opening new threads and ignoring requests to chill out is not helping at the moment.
Leave your PC, call a good friend you haven't spoken for a while and go get a beer or a glass of milk.
XDA will still be here the day after tomorrow and all cooks will still be releasing new roms and propably work more together then people actually think they do as they always have.
What's the difference between General and Q&A?
i would imagine one is for general Nexus One information (touchscreen issues, USB Driver info)
while this one is for Q&A - where do i plug it in to charge it, can i use a stylus, can i root it, things of the like.
Yes, and for gathering How-To's, guides and the sort.
I think its a conspiracy by the small douche sect of xda trying to create more opportunities to berate people for not using the search function or posting in the wrong forum. Hey I guess if people don't have a purpose in life we can't blame them for trying to create one. To each his own right? Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum...
Don't know if you're just trolling but there are separate sections and a search function for a reason: so that people aren't asking the same questions ( that have already been answered) over and over again.
The other reason is that clear categories/sub-forums help you find the correct information faster.
I like the new layout because if I want to know about apps/themes, there's a forum.
If you're too stupid to figure out the different between Q&A, Development, Accessories, Theme/Apps, and General Questions, should you really be on a modding/hacking forum?

Agree, it mainly prevents a lot of redundent information and can assist in narrowing the info down to a sub-forum.

The Wall Street Journal is of course more reputable, but I like the first article better since it has more detail and informative graphs:

Apple, if they needed a reason to go after HTC, and by proxy Google, may have had it in marketshare numbers. Android's growth has been pretty spectacular over the past few quarters highlighted by the graphs below from Quantcast, a web analytics firm.

While iPhone is clearly the market leader in Web consumption with over four times the share as Android, its nearest competitor, recent trends show that they aren't standing on firm ground.
In the last month the iPhone has lost 3.2% of its marketshare compared with RIM and Android both gaining considerably. This isn't just a monthly blip either, at least with regards to Android. Google's phone market has grown 44% over the past quarter and almost doubled over the past year while the iPhone has lost around 5% and 10% of the overall market over those same periods.
The iPhone is still gaining users and pageviews, Android is just gaining so much faster.
According to some sources, Steve Jobs recently told an Apple Town Hall meeting:
On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says. Someone else asks something on a different topic, but there’s no getting Jobs off this rant. I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing, he says. This don’t be evil mantra: “It’s BS.” Audience roars.

Nice find, I'm feeling better already!
I come onto these forums and for the most part, people are kind and considerate. Then there's a handful of people who just ruin it. I read a posting in one of the forums this morning. Obviously it was in the wrong section, but that's obvious to me and others who have browsed these forums for a while.
What's the first reply I read? It's an offensive posting using derogatory name calling meant to put the OP down. It's one thing to correct someone, but it doesn't mean we beat them down in the process. Why are we trying to make people feel stupid?
If it bothers you to the point where you want to call someone names and try to make them feel like ##### then maybe you need to step away and cool down. Give a gentle nudge, report it to a moderator(so they can move it), and go about your way.
trolls gonna troll.

Welcome to the Internet.
Sadly, it is degenerating lately and bad behaviour becomes more prevalent. Here is to hoping that it will get better in the future.
Dude,you don't know what kind of idiot someone might be.Just ignore these guys,that's what I do.
Yes,I totally agree with you by the way.I have been "victim" to such behaviour many times.Especially when asking about something that one of these guys(the trolls) doesn't like.
Just ignore them,that's my advice to you.
i appreciate your sentiments and i see that you are hurt by what was said but then again...welcome to the world...the world does not care about how you feel... the best example is the noob video the site made when you were seeking registration...if you didnt watch it please do...it is awesome and i guess that is how these people who consider themselves experts feel (perhaps they are entitled to that)
P.S.: do watch that video. just click on the registration page and it is right there all the best and wish you well...

1st nothing was said to me, I'm just tired of reading these post that attack the poster for their "noobness". For those advising me to let go and move on, good advice. At the end of the day I can't control what others post.
Yes, I've watched the noob video recently and find it extremely funny, not offensive.
Anyway, I'm just hoping we can all think before we post. It was just a vent, hopefully in the right section
Spot on. There is never a need to put someone down. I'm relatively new to this forumn and often find myself hesitant to post for fear of being berated. However, for every one asshole spouting off, there are twenty excellent members who will happily answer your question or point in the proper direction without being nasty about it.
well just my 2 cents, but i went from the dell streak forum and it was awesome i helped ppl they helped me never any rude answers. got myself a galaxy tab bc of more development and its full of dickheads (not everyone) i dont even post in that forum sucks bc i love my tab but every time ive posted i get a rude answer ppl are just mean

i only call ppl out when they deserve it like the other day in the cdma hero forums when a certain someone cough... andy lowe.. cough triple posted asking the same question and was not clear at all so yea ill definitly call someone out when they deserve how else are u going to keep noobs in line.
I agree with the OP. There are plenty of people on this site that need an attitude check. Everyone starts somewhere, you learn things by asking questions, and having people to guide you. You do not learn anything by being told off by some random person who thinks they are better than you, because god knows why.
There are also the exact opposite though, it seems few and far between, because most of the time the people that are rude give everyone else a bad rap. I have found plenty posts that are very helpful and have answered my questions, but a lot of the times browsing through other threads, when people have simple questions or comments to be made they are attacked by the "know it alls".
1. If the poster is offensive, report.
2. If the OP is retarded and made mistakes even after being told to read the rules, he deserves to... be re-educated.
3. This topic is redundant.
Lol gotta love these signatures with all the "My"'s in them.....I come from a generation where the "me,my,and I" guys are just douche bags....just a hint guys....no one likes people that have to announce that its all about "you"and only you.
Personally I don't give a shiat about what you do when I see your a me,my,and I guy.
im usually the one to start threads like this haha...glad to see someone else step up to the bitter plate

I'm sorry but I have to interject here. You think MY post was childish? Stop for a second and study your title; I can hear you now going "My My My"...not very befitting for an adult if you ask me.
Being a relatively new member, you have not had the time to really aquatint yourself with how things work around here. We have an off topic section for a reason. Things that do not pertain to a specific device or are just rants like these, do not belong in the device forums. It was not wrong of the moderator to move your post, he was doing his job.
Also, disrespecting a moderator will result in a temp ban so I advise you to be more considerate. kthks.
If you are stuck on less than 10 posts, then you'll never get there.
I posted a few posts on Off-Topic forums, contributing jokes, 3 word story things, general fun and games.
These were clumped into one ridiculous looking post, putting my posts from 10 back down to 2.
I had a read through this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
Anybody spot what I've done wrong?
This site specifically stops new members from posting more than once every 5 minutes, and I'm not allowed to post on any meaningful forums, so I don't understand what the heck I'm supposed to be posting on!! Can't even post jokes without them getting removed!!!

The Q&A and General forums are as meaningful as the forums that you are obviously referring to (development forums).
The rule is there to stop absolutely ridiculously selfish noobs going into dev forums and creating posts (or even worse, creating threads!) that simply say "I can't do this.... I can't do that...."
Anyone that's been on here a while and now knows what they are doing will tell you, 100% accurately, that most of the time you only have to read a little longer and you find your answer. It's VERY unlikely that you have a question that hasn't been asked before.
Try contributing meaningfully to the Q&A and General forums for your device. You may find that you enjoy helping people, rather than just coming here to leech and demand answers (not saying you do that - just saying it happens).
Good luck mate

Ok, fair point, I was referring to this off-topic forum, which I thought was just for fun.
But my point remains: what did I do wrong to get my posts clumped together? I posted genuine posts in this off-topic forum as this site permitted me too.
And while I appreciate you were referring to the typical noob when you pulled out the big phrases ("absolutely ridiculously selfish noobs" ..... "I can't do this.... I can't do that...." etc.) remember, you don't know me.... you don't know what I was or wasn't going to post, suggest, answer, ask - you only assume
My question related to the forum rules (which I searched for ), and in what way - by posting a few jokes in joke forums - I had broken them.
Maybe the moderators should update those rules and make them a little clearer next time, particularly with regards to this 10 post thing.
Just a helpful suggestion.

I wasn't assuming - I wouldn't do that because you're right, I don't know you. I iterated the point in order to explain the type of person that has unfortunately brought about the need for such rules. They can be a pain for genuinely non-pleblike users, but most of them will understand the need for such rules as they tend to make the site that little bit better.
Anyway, just don't clump a load of posts together and you'll be fine.
The merge feature is automatic and happens to everyone, even Mods such as myself. You did nothing wrong in the aspect, however, I will be deleting this thread as it is yet another way to increase post count. Do as the poster above suggested and head over to Q&A to contribute some meaningful posts. If you have more questions on the rule, see the link in my sig.
This may or may not be what you're talking about, but the site did recently implement a change where posts are auto-merged if they are back to back within a certain time frame.*
