Hey, I've noticed this in the marketplace especially but people have been ragging on the mods a lot more then what I usually see. While I am in no position to persuade people to do or change anything, I would just like to let the mods know that I really appreciate all the work they do.
Furthermore, especially to the developers, you guys are awesome. The "staff" here at xda are one of the best I have seen in a while, and while I can't contribute much to xda (yet), I do appreciate everything you guys are doing.

Thanks a lot!, it´s a complicated labor but it´s our way to say thanks to XDA!! and we do it gladly!
The xda-developers portal posted an article introducing the coming of xda-University.com. In brief, it will be a centralised place where people will be able to go to in order to learn how to root their phones and perform more complicated tasks such as building from source and developing your own ROMs.
I think it will be a great idea to bring all of the knowledge scattered around the developers forums into one place to make it easier to find for people interested in learning.
The site isn't up yet, but you can sign-up to receive news via email when the site will go live. Between you and me, I can't wait!
Damn, that's freaking awesome. That'll be a great resource for all devs! I can't wait until this site launches, I signed up to be notified
That sounds great. I've always wanted a forum like that for android.

Hmm... I was making something very similar known as the Android Development Codex. It is a complete, monolithic, and community editable guide for all mobile devices, to reform how XDA Developers works. And it already exists with guides for the Droid Incredible and the HD2.
More info here.
Originally, I was going to keep the Android Development Codex as a surprise until all the guides for the devices I owned were complete. However, a new project called "XDA University" is being started with similar goals, so I am prematurely releasing my work to the community and awaiting further developments.
If anyone here has a hand in creating the XDA University, please contact me, because I have some great ideas on how to make it work, not to mention tons of data for us to start with.
Signed up, really wanting to learn this stuff myself. Sick of being a leech and not giving back
I did not know of carburano's work with the LG Optimus 2X for GB but with ICS I do have to say I really appreciate the time and effort he has put into the development. His thread in the development section is one of the most read and posted thread. I believe it is almost as large as the JB threads and in some cases larger. Even his old GB thread is still being posted to and growing monstrous in size.
I have tried to keep up with his ICS thread but it is so hard with the large number of posts everyday, some seeming to be constant repeats of previously asked questions or small replies to others. In some cases people just quote someone else and add lol. Everything I see points to carburano being very dedicated and committed to his work and followers. I can understand the difficulties he has sifting through the posts looking for good feedback and positive replies to his hard work. I am certain that he reads over every post and each one takes up some of the time he sets aside for us all.
Being such a large and popular thread I was surprised not to see more threads on DjangoManoucheX (yes I even used the search feature) where people would discuss everything from how a particular ril performs to which baseband people are using with his rom. But than again without them being started by the creator of this fabulous rom few people may take them seriously and in some cases may not take the time to search for them.
@carburano thank you for breathing life into my phones have never worked better. I have 3 LG2X's and some nights I may install roms with different kernels to see how they work for a few days, taking note of particular things I like better than others and how things are implemented. I enjoy this type of playing with the phones, I spent many years as a electronics and computer technician and finding something that keeps me this excited is beyond words to explain. Yet after many tests I keep coming back to your rom as the standard.
Please take the popularity of your thread and rom as I hopefully believe it is meant to be, a positive show of how much everyone appreciates your work. Some people may get over excited like kids in a candy store waiting for the store keeper to restock the shelves and sometimes this may lead to them typing to fast or some things lost in translation. Seeing your work and any new release you put out is like Christmas time all over again.
I would have tried to post this on the DM rom thread as I could find no other thread praising your work but 2 things stopped me
1. I am new so can not. I have lurked in the shadows for to long watching and
2. I need to try and figure out what the "on topic" topic's are. So hopefully in the general area is where I should put this.
Thank You again carburano I believe things could not be better with you keeping the phone and your followers so well looked after.
Heya, I'm glad you liked his ROMs but the thing is carburano is not a developer, he is a "rom cooker". . He "cooks" a rom using the preferences/addons/themes etc.. he likes.
Other than that, I support this post. I think he is a great contributor to this community.
thanks carburano.
Thanks
I appreciate the clarification in terminology. I am behind and need to catch up some.
My main goal was to try and express my gratitude and maybe others for the work he puts in to make our life and phones better and easier.
Hello...
Carburano is a great cooker, and even so good that we could say developer, at least he's able to give Roms as good as he was a 'developer'.. And a good person as far as I 'know' him
But the community deceived me a lot theses days because they didn't really understand the meaning of XDA and of what he is doing, for FREE.
He would not provide his update to everyone because some have though his thread was a general/Q&A thread... and what some replied ?! "Ok, no problem, we don't care, if you don't provide us a even better Rom every week we switch to an other". But boys tell me, what's are the problems that 'everybody' encounter with the 1.4 ? It is fully and absolutely working, stock based and theme with a kernel that LG was dreamimg to build but wasn't even able to.
So what do theses guys want... every developer deserve respect for what they are giving to our phone which was at the beginning made for the developer's phone only, so you can't complain of anything about what Carburano is doing
@Carburano: Thank a lot for what you gave us, giving our old phone an extended life
R: Thank You to A great developer for a great ROM DjangoManoucheX by carburano
I'm sorry but i cannot continue with this environment, i've stolen many days to my private life not to hear that i must release soon otherwise i'm an id***... I prefer to continue dmx privately and if things will be fine i will give you links. I promised to avoid open a new thread for my roms and i will keep this promise. Ciao guys. This is it

A sad day it is.
When we take something for granted that was given for free and than expect to be treated like we paid for it.
carburano and other developers / chef's / cookers already have enough things to do with there own life that their free time and evenings should be spent doing the things they love because they want to and not because people try to make them feel bad about not giving all their time to one thing.
I have stayed off forums on many different websites and out of the conversation because I am more than happy to patiently wait for the next release or happy to work out all the bugs that I can on my own before I bother anyone, but now it is to late I should have joined earlier if for nothing else than to click on the thanks button.
@carburano because of the great work I have seen in your rom it has peaked my curiosity to maybe give it a try myself and see what I can do with my phones. It is a good thing there are high quality developers and chefs on XDA that I can try to seek guidance from. I would expect there are alot of people who do create their own custom roms but also keep them private to avoid the stress that seems to be taking over.
I learned from playing addictive online games that Real Life takes priority and you need to take the time to ensure it does not slip past you while you look at the computer screen.
No problem man.. You are absolutly true, the community have been really disrespectful towards you and your life that we all know very busy, and I really hope that your decision will make some minds change..
Again, thank for your work..
Hi carburano, i really reeeally reeeeeeeally love your work on DMX. I always come back to your rom when i try others rom's. That speed, smoothnes, battery life.
Well, now its over because some idiot's. :banghead:
But if you relese newer version's of your DMX, can you please send me links?

Take the advice of your quote and live well, your work speaks for itself. If you decide to share any further work I know there are dedicated people who are more than willing to provide positive feedback to what works and does not work. My wife gets mad at me when I change her phone because I see something I want to test out on it so I will have to just keep playing with my other 2 LG2X's for now.

Not for me. I want my O2X to live forever.
I've just had my power button replaced, and I'm even considering buying a new battery for it just so I can make it feel new.
Welll guys...
Life goes on.....
Thx Carbo,one more time...
:good:
Carbru bro what I am seeing this?
Please dont!
You are a greatest dev and contributor since years for our 2x. You've made a great effort. We miss you please come back:/

Man, this is sad because of a few stupid guys, we lose a great dev like you ! :crying:
I've been a fan from your first ICS release, I loved your jokes during install, like the cookie recipe and the fake windows install !
Now I have DM X1.2 and can't update anymore
Can you send a link for us who enjoyed all your hard work ? :good:
Thanks for your time and work Carburano, don't let stupid people upset you !
But Carburano, why so many of us have to be punished this way like the bad ones? I'm still at Stock 2.3, when I see the news about DjangoManouche X 1.5 I see the perfect rom to my phone. I just hope some day I can use your rom, because to me, your rom seem to be the best one. We will miss you man!

Hey mate,
I do have one suggestion which you might want to try.
Create an Q&A or userthread in the general section, where people can post more freely.
Add big fat red lines at your op stating that every kind of offtopic needs to get posted there and only posts for bug reports etc. are allowed in your dev thread.
Then consequently report users who break the ground rules.
If someone does it continuously ask the mods if they could hand him an infraction.
This forum is about development and contributions - not about dumbasses who can't keep their mouth shut and think they need to clutter threads in the development section.

Well I looked in the official release thread for DM 1.5 link and I think I found the post where carburano had placed his link but I think it has already been removed or maybe moved to a new post due to the problems that thread was having. No one wanted to be subjected to the same problems he was having. That is sorting through all the extra off topic posts.
For some people I hope it opened their eyes to the problem, for others all they could do was complain about it even though carburano posted the exact page where he shared.
I'am happy playing with 1.4 it works great.
@carburano good job in the way you posted the link, if even a few people now think twice before they post threads or where they post them I would say you accomplished the task of educating them.
I will keep looking in my spare time, maybe get lucky one day.
I need link for Dm1.5?Thnks.

We appreciate the current developers that are working on getting LiquidSmooth and Cyanogenmod to run on our devices. Personally, I feel that if we had at least one or two developers who have done longtime/extensive work with Android devices; would make our little community an extremely happy bunch and help our current developers out extremely as there are a few hiccups that they are trying to sort themselves as dedicated devs.
I understand that everyone can be tied up on a consistent and heavy basis but if its not too much to ask from the community; I would like to request someone of higher knowledge in this to take a look at helping us get at least one fully functional AOSP/AOKP/CM/Para/Omni/Liquid etc. ROM of the latter on our devices or at least throw a few patches to the developers on our side.
We really appreciate the time and effort you all put into the work that you so heartfully give and put out there for us and we thank you sincerely.

This would be amazing, especially with the work on LiquidSmooth being halted, without a booting release, This phone is a "mid-range flagship" so I thought it would be a more popular device. :/
I believe your answer lies within the thread linked below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738971
So I noticed there were several developers doing their own thing for this device, but no one was really collaborating with each other. So that led me to an idea. I want to put together a team of developers, who can all work together, to achieve a better overall custom ROM experience. I'm making this thread, because I'm really hoping some of you might be interested in helping out. There are a number of ways you can contribute, so don't think you have to be skilled in programming languages for this to apply to you. Right now, any of the following things would be useful:
-Photoshop or GIMP experience
-Any programming language experience
-A fast computer to compile builds on
-A server to host builds
-General knowledge(cherry-picking/fixing merge issues/etc)
-Free time and a willingness to learn
-And pretty much anything else ROM/App/Kernel related
If you are interested at all, please feel free to PM me, or post here with any questions you might have. Thanks everyone!

It's so cool to see someone creating their own developing team. I don't have much coding experience, but I'd love to be of help. What kind of ROM do you have in mind? Like, consumer-wise... look, feel, that sort of thing.

Right now, features are undecided as I'm still putting together a team. I can tell you that it will be based on CyanogenMod though, and that it will be heavily optimized. As for features and look/feel, I'll have to discuss that with the other members. See if we can come up with some good ideas
