Just noticed that my numerous bookmarks and favorites for threads here are now working! No more "404" errors that I can report !!!!
I'm opening up all kinds of threads and posts here willy nilly and all appear to once again be functioning.
Thanks guys, the site is now really truly much better.
(and I know that this was the wrong section to post this to... please don't flame me )
Hey, moderators. Where are you?
As Ather90 left this forum, obviously the last moderator, who visited this site regularly, the level here went down.
In the meantime about 6 to 8 new rom are released, but not listed in the sticky thread.
Can somebody please stop those discussions, which rom is best.
Test yourself, and choose what you want!!!
And do me(us all) a favour: stop, close or collect all those threads about changing languages, xip, modification etc and how it is done.
Noone can understand those 4 to 6 guys. First: Your way to explain is to bad and
Second: Noone can find the missing information, if it is spread throughout the whole forum.
Typicaly roms are released, when they are ready, or announced, if they are almost completed.
Or someone creates a new Hima forum section: WM6.5 and Language development, or so.
And to those really active guys, please read the forum rules and the posted threads carefully
And most of all: Use Personel or E-Mail for your private discussions!
Thanks Sebastian
and Sorry, if someone is pissed now!!!
I havent gone anywhere, im still here its just that i have my Final Exams this month, i'll be finished on 23rd and then im on the heat
i'll update the stickies ASAP
good to see your support btw, thanks
I am slowely getting sick of this forum... it became totaly useless as it is impossible to find any info about rom becoase of idiots that NEED to say thank you (and permutations) for every rom cooked.
Just for a taste:

There are surely bunch of usefull informations that nobody will ever see as they are sunk under hundreds of posts that are completely useless (Thank you etc.).
So please:
SHUT THE F*** UP IF YOU DONT
HAVE ANYTHING USEFULL TO SAY!
And admins, please start thinking about giving few most used cookers separeate "forum" within xda-developers or open a "thanksgiving" thread and forbid
posting them within any other topic.
Such as this post, The wheel may be round but it will always have bumps in it.
Moderators will close this thread closed.

If you click on XDA Portal, you will see that in this forum there are 1,709,981 members ....
Are not few and not just manage them ....
it's easy for you to talk
between saying and doing there 'a difference
I like to show my appreciation for the roms cooked. I do that via donation and the forum. Thank you
No matter how many MOD's you have clearing up spam you are always going to get a lot of useless posts in each thread. It would be very time consuming to go through each thread and clear out the waste and a lot of mod's like to see appreciation for the work they have done so to remove every thankyou would also not be appropriate or worth the hassle.
I get what you are saying, yes there is a lot of c**p in each thread and I would love to see each thread cleaned up or shortened in size, but I don't think its practible. All we can do is remind people to abide by forum rules and issues warnings for repeat offenders before banning them.
Also, as much as I appreciate your comments, what you have created here is another useless thread, another rant. I'm I now to issue a warning to you!!
I'll close this thread now before it grows in size and becomes one giant rant!!
Xperia ROM development forum is a mess!!
Guys,
every day i see a new thread created by some users.
It is mostly like, how can i do this, how can i do that.
It is really simple, if you want to ask something about an option or a function that isn;t working then please post in the corresponding thread so we can have a clean forum.
Here is a link to the rules:http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256
please read it guys, it is very annoying to see a new thread everytime.
mods, please put some time in this xperia forum with cleaning out the ''litter''
@ all, thank you very much for your cooperation.
Now @ 203 views and nobody has left a comment or suggestion or something like that?
I think this is what the community has become, like only get what you need and then use it and then complaining, no suggestions or anything, no thanks for the chefs ?
i understand what ur saying but a im pretty sure a mod has just moved some of the useless threads because a lot of them have been moved

No.
I think people read your post and ignored it because it contained nothing useful in itself. It's a public forum, if you want neat and tidy you're probably in the wrong place.
I'm not looking to pick argument it just seems to me your original post was pointless. In most cases the title of a thread gives you enough info to decided whether it's worthy of reading.
Sure there are plenty of people who come here just to get what they want and give nothing back, again it's the nature of the beast. But I think there's still plenty of people who are willing to give as well as take and on a whole the forum still functions well.
My biggest gripe would be people asking questions answered on the previous page (i.e. lack of search) not untidiness.
Also I think the X1 forum has lost a lot of active members to the LEO forum recently. Again this is inevitable given the age of the device and the progression of handsets.
The LEO thread is much more active currently IMO. POP over there, don't forget most of what they're discussing applies to our device too.

this is true, but some can also give reasons (which are also true) that some threads are really huge, specially good rom threads, on average they are 1000 posts longs, some go as long as 11,000 posts (valkyrie), when someone new get a rom and gets a small bug, it is really impossible to read all past thread, and unfortunately the thread search is not always helpful...
the best thing for a rom forum is to be a wiki, where each rom gets a page with generic information, and links to threads of sub pages that have useful information, like how to fix a known bug, or where to get an app that does that thing..... and leave the bla bla discussions or personal opinions on the forum.
some rom developers follow such a method, but partially, in the first few posts reserved for the rom you sometimes find links to common issues and solutions, but after a while everything gets messy again....
a ROM is a "product" that needs its own area or even a forum by itself. not a single forum for many products, this brings the mess....
but this need much organization, the price to be less messy
Newbies don't know their way around

You are right and its mostly down to newbies. I'm someone who makes a point of holding off on posting on a few forum until I see the layout, get the rules, etc. so I don't annoy seasoned members and get a bad rep for being stupid.
A lot of new members to the site are a bit out of their depth (I know I was when I first joined) and its not really only being used as a developers forum/site any more. If you're a newbie you've got two choices: (1) ask, (2) spend countless hours trying to work it out for yourself.
I guess the lazy ones are a bit thread happy!

P.S. You can show people the rules but you can't make them read.
P.P.S. Isn't this another one of those clogging up threads that aren't anything to do with ROM dev though?! (joke)
I hovered around in the X1 forum for a little more than a year, and most recently, after getting a new (additional) toy, I moved over to another forum, the one which is mentioned here already.
Frankly spoken, I have the perception that the X1 forum here is quite in order, while the HD2 forum is a real mess. For many "similar" problems and questions, many newcomers open a new thread instead of using the search function. In case of the X1 forum, there is much more "discipline".
Plus, the mods of the forums are quite effective here, I would say.
I am still very thankful that xda devs exists, thanks to all who contribute, especially the cooks... and also to those who help understanding the forum (and its rules) to newcomers. All of us started "small" and as "newb", no? And from time to time, I try to help, too - even if I am just an "average" user.
Mods please close thread
I think the point is made.
mods, please close this thread
im partly responsible for your this thread and once agian, i am sorry....i promise u it wont happen again..
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~Winston Churchill
Sorry to all the mods and admins again...
Since i changed from WM6.1 to WM6.5 none of the ROM's have sound anymore.
I won't use a WM6.1 anymore, i want to use the WM6.5 ROM's.
Does someone knows a possible fix for this?

First , welcome to the forum. That said, you are not going to make too many friends around here if you continue the way you started.
3 Posts and 2 of them were new useless threads to further clutter our forum.
It is nice to meet you but you could nave easily posted your " hello " and your question in the same thread, also it is against forum rules to double post the same question in the rom dev. and general forum.
The " no sound issue " has been answered 1000 times in a 100 different threads. A simple search would have found an answer without the need to start yet another thread about it. Flash a new and compatible radio from here.
Sorry to sound mean, but new threads by newbies, clutter the forum and make searching 100's of times harder, because of all the useless hits.
Welcome to the forum.
Same sentiments as denco7 please respect forum rules no double posts.
Also using the search will provide 99% of questions peeps have.
On that note thread closed.
