Database Develop

Smalltalk

Hi,
I am new here. I need 10 Posts before I can post in a developer forum. So I have to do some smalltalk!

You are going to draw unwanted attention from a mod so I suggest you stop doing what you are doing in the fashion in which you are doing it. These restrictions are in place for a reason, mostly to stop spam posters.
Read this first please:
[GUIDE] How to be a New User (and not a noob)
If you have any other question afterwards you will know what to do.
One other thing. Is it so much to ask that you read for a bit first, pick up some knowledge and experience, help a few people in the 90+% of the site which is completely open to you, to participate with quality posts instead of BS posts, in return for being able to post into any of the ROM threads from any dev on this site?

Yes. You also don't get away with spamming for ten posts. Read this 19 times.....
Good day sir.

There are already so many threads here in OT that you can post to for your ten post, it should be extremely easy for anybody that takes one minute to look. Use the 'game threads' like last letter and similar word and such. Problem solved.
EDIT: Mods, why not make it so new users can't start a new thread until the 10 post limit is reached?

ot is not an acceptable place to gain your first ten posts, I spend far too much time trimming the post counts of cretins who think they can slip in here unnoticed and spam their way to the dev section.

Surely this plan would work better right? It would at least stop all the cases of spamming that happened earlier this morning.

Well I obviously wasn't recommending he do that for purposes of being able to spam dev forums!! Its not like I am telling a secret loophole or anything, what I said to do should be common sense to anybody except the OP right? If it's that big of a deal then new users shouldn't be able to post in OT either. I'm just saying that's better than starting a new thread with no topic.

Yeah I appreciate that, but in general, most new threads created by new users have already been created plenty of times before. I done it myself, so I know that.
Granted, it's not an ideal situation but at least it would solve the issue, to a certain degree.

To the OP...I would suggest you visit a few forums. We have tons. Get to know the site and the community. Make some helpful posts and contribute to the forums in a positive way.

I say, OT posts count for your post count, but you need 100 posts to even see the link to the OT forum. lol

Musicians thread?

Was wondering if we could make this thread happen because there's already the drummers thread and the bassist thread. This way, if it's all combined into one thread, it can help with clearing up future clutter with threads for other instruments.
We could have all our musicians all in one place and all talking about what they love.

Not too sure that the respective op's would be too happy about a merge....
I'll leave that for Archer/Vanessa to decide though....
Also, merging would just create an unholy mess of a thread due to its chronological nature.

Merging is no big deal to do, but all the posts are merged chronologically, so it would make reading the thread from the beginning very difficult. I think it would make more sense to close the existing threads and start a new dedicated one, if we were going to do anything with them.

I think that probably works best with what we've currently got, but without a thread where they all talk to each other how will we start an xda band??
I'm still not convinced though that we shouldn't have a dedicated thread. I play both guitar and keyboards, as well as doing computer generated music and would like talking about them all but that would take at least 3 threads. I'd like to talk about them all in one place.
Now I've typed that I'm thinking that one thread is the way to go. Undecided Archer is undecided.

You've already put forward the idea by mentioning it. It's up to Vanessa, myself and any SM that wants to be involved so we're just chatting at the minute. It's a worthy idea so it will definitely get some consideration.

Well, I am a terrible singer but don't forget the vocalists...
And who is going to write the XDA Theme Song?

Very nice! I second.

I, for one, would beg any mod to NOT merge the musician threads.
I can only imagine scrolling through, and seeing 19 pictures of of someones guitar rig, links to bass sheet music, arguments about who actually invented the fiddle, and so on.
My point is that in the respective threads, people get pretty detailed about gear and preferences. It would be so frustrating to weed through all that for (in my case) drum related posts.

This is where the confusion steps in.
If it's all merged together, it makes it more awkward and irritating for the people commenting for different instruments etc.
But if it stays how it currently is, I can imagine people noticing that and it getting out of hand and eventually seeing a thread for the triangle players of the community.
It's just a case of working out the best option. Any suggestions from you Skinny?

Open chat

There's been lots of threads closed due to us getting "off topic" on an off-topic forum(idk) but anyway I thought of trying this out. There's forums for almost everything and games going on, people even chatting in gaming threads, so I thought of making a thread just for those of us that feel a need for a notification just for chatting it up.
There's plenty of us that would want to be out and social 24/7 but then there's those that don't and the most sociality they get is from forums. Getting to the point, let's just start conversations here that we can't do elsewhere. Oh well let's see if this makes anything or gets closed too.

OPO official forum sucks

Recently i was researching on OPO supported rom kitchen and i decided to ask in the DEV section in OPO forum
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/opo-supported-kitchen.94937/#post-4648268

Funny part is one of the mods moved the thread to "Accessories" section
XDA is heaven by comparison
</rant>

The OnePlus One Forum is completly useless.
So glad there's a section for it here on XDA.
From time to time a check out the announcements and the last posts from steve kondik.
Besides that there is no reason to read, or post anything over there.

I also Found The official OnePlus Forums to be full of people being sarcastic to others even when asking a valid question
cant beat XDA

So many crybabies in the OP forum. Lower Antutu score than previous update? Rant. An app FC oftens? Rant. There's so many clueless user in that forum it makes my head hurts. I have to wonder why these guys even buy OPO in the first place if they don't even know how to Google and settle common problems. They don't even wanna learn using it. All they know are complains, then open a report at CM Jira which makes it even worse to track a real issue with OPO

That's just shameful.. Then again, any dev with respect for himself would turn to XDA. A "new" forum with invites begging isn't for devs. This place is made for it. <3

Yep I have become tired of the OPO forum. I would guess the average age of people posting is under 20. The people posting the BS over there think that they are "cool". Pretty much every other thread/post has something to do about getting an invite. Not to mention all the deleted posts, deleted threads and heavy censorship. No thanks.

^^^ What he said

there a few useful post here and there though, like this one listing all the ROMs, kernels and recoveries for the OPO: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/full-collection-roms-recoveries-kernels.82526/ , however xda wins hands down.

So why bring that here and start ranting about it? Is this thread contributing anything positive to XDA?

Maybe we should let @atl4ntis know that we love to see him back in whatever XDA thread or XDA (sub)forum. Not only for his work, but also because he is a helpfull and nice person.
Possibly his XDA account is still active.
We could mention him in our posts so he knows we do not forget. At this moment we have to respect his decision because he is hurt.

The mention might work unless like most of the more senior members he has mention notifications turned off.

Can anybody please tell me what happened?
His rom is perfect as it's stock with just enough amount of customization.
Sad that he left.

As I understand it there was a dispute with another dev and that lead to a dispute about whether or not his rom was original work. XDA moved it to the non original section and he decided to abandon the project.

Here in the Netherlands @atl4ntis was popular. The Dutch press praised him for his 'cataclysm mod'.

The bulk of the problem was that he claimed his work was all original, yet refused to provide evidence to back his claims. Before anyone starts in on the "Apache license doesn't require sources" line, I know he was within his rights to refuse to show his sources. However, if you don't show sources, how can you reasonably expect anyone to believe your work is original?
The XDA staff made the right call here. If you refuse to prove your work is original, your work doesn't get to be located in the Original Android Development forum. In any event, this will be a moot point going forward as all new devices will only have one development section. That said, the mods and/or admin should be going through all device forums that have both an Android Development and Original Android Development subforum, and merging the two subforums into one.

Folks - I've read great things about the Cataclyst ROM but found the official thread on it had been closed by an XDA moderator. If I install it and run into issues, would there be some people supporting it and what thread?
Thx
