with all respect whats the point of this thread. why is so important? Im going to be honest with you i have been in this forum for more than a year (g1,hd2,mt4g,my touch,incredible,droid x and alot more i dont remember) if you see my numbers your are going to laught. but you know what i dont care because i dont know you but im here to learn of the devs if i can help i do or at least i try. But i not going to clicking thanks on every silly post. And honestly theres only a few posts deserve thanks in this bionic forum the rest are are just a waste of time. Like i said im not here for numbers and im not afraid to click the thanks but you are going to see my thanks on the posts i think really deserve.
This is no personal im just making my point and trying to help you with your question.
i prefer too see a member with 25 helpful posts than a member with 300 nonsense posts.

if you feel like youre really helping this forum, it doesnt matter how many times you get a thanks on your posts just keep doing what you do and forget that. do you think that stopped the great devs we have here on xda community?

In my opinion if someone helped me with a issue I will hit the thanks button and I would expect the same back it not the number its the time and effort we put in that deserve a thanks

What all do u get from people clicking "Thanks"? Just another number or just to feel appreciated or what? I just received thanking privileges and am rather new to this site.

I use the xda app and don't see a thanks button. But does it make a difference if someone tells you thank you or hits the thanks button? A lot of the people who need help on here is because they haven't taken the time to read through the information and follow instructions. If they can't take time to read and follow instructions, can't really expect them to click a thanks button.

To a point yes to a point no and all you have to do is push the menu button on phone browser and click the thanks button bam done.
Sent from my AXI0M IONIC using XDA App

Unfortunately when I hit menu, it doesn't have a thanks button. I get refresh, reply, subscribe, browser, close.
I still stand by that majority of the help could be avoided in the first place if people would read and follow the exact directions. Most of the.questions on here have been answered many times and still get asked again. I am starting to see why so many developers have left xda.

To thanks in the XDA app or tapatalk itself just long press on the post in question. You will then get the Thanks options added as a possible choice

Tap the post you want to thank and it's in that menu. If it's not in there then make sure you've got the latest version. It's been in for a while now so I'd be surprised if it was because you've got an old version, but you never know.

Not positive, but I don't think the free xda app has a thanks button

Despite this being old news, stuff like this shouldn't be posted in the dev section. If you actually provided instructions and such, then that would merit a post here. I don't want to sound like a ****, but try to keep this sort of stuff in the general section.

this has absolutely no uniqueness to Raver at all but one thing I would say is that there has never been a bounty thread which just told it like it is and said "I will make a modded stock rom of gb and do the same when stock ICS is out".
Most bounties are about winking at suggestions of making ICS builds or this or that pie in the sky rom. I know there is supposed to be salesmanship in those threads but it would be refreshing to just have it be straightforward on the other hand I doubt such a thread would be a successful bounty

If you read his posts, he said that he's working out the bugs on the installer and ROM. If you think he's too slow, offload some work from him. Maybe go over and give him meals, clean for him, do his other ***** work and then he will have more time for you.

Are you talking trash for donating to a dev?
Good for you for not donating.
Holy hell people must want instant results...how about instead of donating next time take that money and take some development courses at your local community college then you can create whatever the hell you want when you want...if not then quit your pissing and moaning and wait like everyone else...Gotta love those people who think there special and shouldn't have to wait around.

This is definitely true. Raver always delivers what he promises. I've used most of his Roms on the SGS4G and they were all incredible. I just got my SGSII last Friday and I can't wait to try Black Edition when its complete. Raver I'm really glad to see you on this phone also. You'll definitely be getting more donations from me.

And then will have the nerve to complain about why isn't their any development for our device,why do all the devs leave ,why does my **** look like a clit!
My boy Raver is busy cooking dinner...
All he asked is what happened to raver. 2 pages of **** talking immediately follows. He never asked for ics, or updates, or a time frame, or for donation money back. Chill out people... "xda has gone to hell" look at the last 2 pages of jerks making stupid comments about nothing and you will see why.

You guys are all greedy!

I'm tired of people bashing on these devs hard work, they have given so much and all you all can do is say how unstable the ROM is, if you don't like it don't use it. Because of your greediness it appears camcory has left, he will not receive messages and his most popular ROM thread has been closed. From now on if you run into a problem with a ROM, state the problem, not you personal opinion about the ROM. Why do you all think jocala doesn't dev anymore?
I'm done ranting for now but you all need to start respecting these devs before we lose them!

That's fine what you're saying but again, this is where I have issues. If all people want to hear is how great they are or their work is always perfect they are doing it for the wrong reasons. People who do nothing but praise are called "fanboys" and don't contribute any useful info. If people are name calling or trashing somebody's work that's different. Anytime I mention issues I am always specific with what they are.
I have mentioned my gratitude many times but if that's all that people want to hear these forums are useless.

This has been a problem on XDA for as long as I have been a member. There are a lot of people who just complain, or constantly say " fix it, fix it, fix it." Not everyone does this, but many do. Too many people forget that the Dev's are not obligated to release a rom or to even update it publicly. They do this for many different reasons. I agree state an issue, but part of the problem comes when an issue is overstated because people refuse to read. There is no reason to mention an issue 30 + times. Same goes for the questions that get repeated. Too many people want someone to come running to their aid. We were all noobs at one time, we learn by reading posts and trying ourselves. I just recently reread the rules and all of this is talked about there. I always appreciate our Developers and the work they release, even if it never leaves Alfa stage. I also appreciate the members who take the time to help others and offer good suggestions on a fix, or workaround. We should all keep in mind this question, if I were a Dev, would I want to deal with this?

You are dead on about people harping on the same old crap all the time or saying "when is it going to be fixed?" They should just be ignored and eventually they will go away hopefully. It also doesn't help when so many senior members who had good comments to offer most of the time are now gone.

It's true that a lot of people don't do their research before asking questions. But what I find even worse is when people respond with answers like 2 weeks or bashing the person asking the question. I find it would be easier to just ignore or direct them to q&a rather than cluttering the development threads.

Some people respond with "2 weeks" when ETAs are asked by another user, which is considered a major faux pas. I do agree however that when ETAs come up no one should respond. I also don't think anyone should be bashed however it's hard when you get some who just flat demand things and act like a Dev is asleep at the wheel or negligent for not posting a fix or update. It's hard to believe people actually will say stuff like "when you gonna fix it, huh?" Yes, that kind of English too.
It's like a hundred dswaggz going around asking them to fix the problem (originally he asked for ports, hey just saying XD)
not all noobs are bad
I think this place is great! I haven't posted much because I'm not a dev. I have little to contribute other than my testing experiences and the occasional $5.
A year ago I would have told you rooting is pointless and custom ROMs are dangerous, but I've had a hugely positive experience with XDA and the roms these devs have released. Given the wide user appeal the site offers,(remember this is something for free, rare these days,) you can't hate on the people that don't get it.
It seems like XDA draws both those that have the open source mindset, and a very small minority of people that have no idea how a cell phone works, or could change a tire for that matter. They don't know what kind of time and effort goes into software and they don't care to know. These are people that can't help themselves. They see something cool and they want it.
Remember though, this is a small portion of people, so a better statement here, I think would be "occasionally, one of you is greedy."
Just my 2 cents.

And how hard can it be to click the thanks button? I do it for every OP when I use their ROM or their work or whatever. But when I have my own work viewed over 50 thousand times and downloaded over 1500 times, and receive 75 thanks, then have people ask if I can do this or that or fix this or that, most of THEM not clicking "thanks," I understand how frustrating it can be...

The point of the search is so you don't have to scroll to find what you're looking for. Unfortunately it isn't perfect and will not always find what you are looking for.
We could probably discuss this all day, but what would be the point. It happened. Let's all just move on.

Thanks.

Its funny what people are doing at the moment!!

1.making useless threads for example post your homescreen,development guide etc even when phone is not released in order to earn thanks!!
2.asking for specs confirmation....
Mine question to them:
How can one know specs at the moment when phone is still to be released!!
So people have some patience and wait for its release...everything will be clear!

However, you don't need to have a "hit thanks if I helped" in your sig either
