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

Dear moderators, (and users too)
Is there a chance you could start moderating this forum a bit harder?
I'm talking about HUNDREDS of posts like:
"Cool, I will download this new rom as soon as I'll get home"
"Thanks for the new rom"
"I'm downloading the rom now" etc...
Haven't you noticed that recently topics get several pages in few hours, only because of people posting this useless comments?
I'm using this forum for few years now, I learned everything about Pocket PCs from here and I love it. But recently I just give up trying to get through 20+ pages of posts full of the extremely valuable informations that mr X "will give it a try later".
Does it really not bother you at all??
All the best!

ROTFL,
Now that you started this thread here anyway, it's a nice example to add to the above list you yourself started....
Has it anything to do with upgrading your wizard (yes/no) ? Then why did you post it in "wizard upgrading" ?
Its about as off topic as you can get.
Maybe a private mail to the moderators would have done more justice to your topic.

The moderate moderators moderate moderately.
If you see a post you don't like, report it to a mod or click the ! next to the post. That's what it's there for.
Fighting the tide of noob posts is barely worth the effort these days, but we try to do what we can. Bringing a pointlessly postulating post to our attention should get results faster.

PS do consider entering quality posts to the Haiku Thread

1) I was hoping that maybe some of the people submiting these would read it too...
2) If you're looking for a specific info you won't have to enter this topic after reading the title. And that's the problem with let's say "New Aku 3.5 WWE rom by Molski (example)" thread that I'm expecting to find any RELEVANT info, not people's afterwork plans...But then I HAVE TO enter and go through hundreds of worthless info if I'm interested in this new rom. See the difference?
3) Vijay my friend, I understand moderate moderating but I haven't seen not even one moderator saying anything about this matter. It's all "don't ask about the CID unlocking" over and over again and that's all regarding the order here.
I can't recall if we brought in any new moderators specifically for the Wizard forums, but we did recently promote a few.
We are aware of the problems and do discuss them in the Moderator forums, but it really is difficult to moderate individual posts unless they're brought to our attention - reading every post in every thread would melt anyone's brain. So we moderate threads we come across/read, those that are reported, those that obviously look spamdulous, etc.
If you've got examples of specific threads, always feel free to PM a mod. We do discuss these things, but as stated, it's become almost pointless trying to moderate some of the wave of noobishness... since Crossbow came out, the number of posts daily has shot up considerably

[Mod Edit: The Previous Thread by Dutty was removed by request, because of it's sensitive WM 6.5 content, unfortunatly this sometimes has to happen and is not in particular because the developer or XDA wants to keep information away from the Public. I hope, that without going into to much detail that we can count on the understanding of you al. If there are questions regarding Removed threads please don't hesitate to ask a Mod directly At The Moment this is being investigated.

There are some strange things.
The first: why that thread was closed?? On that thread there were interesting infos usefull for many people here. So, WHY??
Second: why this morning that thread disappeared completely??
Third: why no one seems to have those rom dumps from Rhodium and Topaz??
Only one person seems to have got those dumps, it's clear reading the thread.
SO, WHY NO ONE HAS SHARED THE DUMPs???
THOSE ARE PERHAPS USELESS FOR THIS COMMUNITY????
In my opinion this is REALLY STRANGE, and I can't understand the points above.
Is this a community to develop something together or not??
SO, WHY NOT SHARE THOSE SOURCES(I REPEAT, SOURCES!!)??? Those are usefull for all the community!!! OR I'M WRONG??!?!?!?!?
Please, someone tell me that I'm wrong or let me know what's the spirit of xda-developers!
make a complaint to admin of this site
Uh! Oh!!!
I can't believe it. I hope that some one could explane me (us) what is it? I couldn't believe such a behaviour on this forum. Never seen before and I am there since so many time!!!
About the sharing: where did the spirit of this forum go???
It is obvious you did not even bother to ask any moderator or the admin before starting this thread. Please follow those procedures before you start a new thread accusing a mod of being sneaky and underhanded. This thread is closed as it will not lead to anything productive. We will look into it.
In the future please afford everyone the respect of actually looking into a matter before publicly accusing people of anything.

Hi folks, I’m not from around these parts, I live in the Kaiser world!
I have a friend who is not technically minded, but wants me to update the ROM on his diamond.
I need to put a stable ROM on there that he can use day in day out without having to worry about solving bugs etc himself as I won’t be around to do it for him! He’s just your average, email, music and texting user – doesn’t need anything specific.
Over in the Kaiser section I would recommend PDA Ultimate V19. There are better versions after this, but in the drive for perfection and speed, each new release throws up bugs that need tweaking every now and then – this is what I’m trying to avoid.
Please can you let me know which version of a ROM you would recommend for him? The one you’ve run for ages and always return to. If there are just one or two tweaks I need to make to it, if you could detail those and I’ll sort them before I hand him his upgraded diamond back never to be tweaked again!!
Thanks in advance
Ps. Mods – didn’t want to clutter the ROM section with this, so put it in here.
Please be considerate ogf others and read the rules before posting.

ATTENTION!: We are glad that our community is growing really fast. Unfortunately, the number of topics in the threads of the forums grow in a very larger manner. Unfortunately not every user is aware of the general forum usage and posting rules. As a direct conseque to that MODERATORS will apply the Diamond forum, as one of the most active forums on the site, a very strict moderating policy which might imply:
immediate thread deletion when newly created thread addresses an already discussed topic;
immediate thread deletion when newly created thread addresses an issue such as "Which ROM is the best", "Diamond vs iPhone", etc.;

I did read the rules.
Did you read my post?
also interested
I am also interested in this. I have read all the threads till now and kinda convinced me not to update the ROM. From what i've read, ROM v 1.93 has many bugs (e.g. phone rings one and then no more, send SMS to someone and I receive the message -> these are only single member problems, not happened to many people). In the end ... any suggestions on ROM update?
Yeh - what i always return to is stock rom and SPB Mobile Shell v3 on top of it - it's awesome...
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!
EmuX
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
