What a brilliant forum! - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Just want to take my hat off to the wonderful community on this forum.
There seems to be an abundance of clever developers and mods who work tirelessly trying to orchestrate it all.
I have a passion for technology and whilst I consider myself a technical person, I'm constantly amazed at all the work and innovation that goes into some of the solutions provided here from extremely talented people.
I've been lurking for a while now and only recently summed up the courage to create my user id put out a little n00b vibe
I'm sitting here with my completely wiped Velocity, with just the Holiday Bootloader, deciding which custom rom to load after being completely disgusted with the build Telstra gave me. I'm quite looking forward to exploring the various options and seeing what's truly possible with this lovely piece of kit.
I'm also clued up on so many things, battery maximisation, radio's, kernels, sense ui's, bloatware removers just to name a few. Without forums like this there is no way someone like me could be so well informed in such a small amount of time.
Big thumbs up to the whole team at XDA and all the dev's that make this site such a brilliant resource!

Regardless, welcome to XDA. There's a cache of additional ROMs at RootzWiki of devs who have left from here. I'm sure they'd be delighted to see you there instead.

The best ROM for the HTC Velocity is here.
Yes, even though we have moved mainly to RootWiki, we are still going to make an effort to keep the end user happy.
I have even released my ROM to XDA as I know that not everyone wants to go to a different forum.

No sarcasm at all. I love this forum. Even though the ROM I've attempted to load, Rum Float I think it's called, I downloaded from RootzWiki, this forum still has a plethora of useful info.
I say attempted because I'm fairly sure I"ve got an incompatible version of the Bootloader. So the fun begins

dont expect some one to hold your hand read learn java and Linux and really just play with the os. try to set up singeing by that's a good place to start also but linux on your pc and learn some stuff about terminal. once you do that and have a understanding of what all that development entails you can contact some devs on twitter or pm once you get stuck.
i just want to add i am by no means a master just trying help you out.

judging by your previous posts.... you should learn to use android as a user itself before you start modding everything.... not to be a downer, but "masters" want their apprentices to have SOME knowledge of phone. You will learn a lot more if you explore android yourself over the next few weeks. once you think you have experience, contact some of the devs here and see if they are willing to help. ive found that most of them are really irritated by noobs asking questions that have simple answers.
they seem to forget they were noobs too
(im guilty of this myself)
as for finding a dev here....the only dev ive seen around here in the last few weeks is jubeh (at least i think hes the only one lol)
most of the other devs stay in the dev section

Calling All XDA DeviantART Users - Get Android Some Love!

Go take a look over at DA, under the categories. You won't find a single category for our dear little Andy. Nope, nada, not even a wallpaper section. Of course iPhone/iPod has had its own section, which you have to expect.
But just take a look here at XDA, and you will see a wealth of talented individuals making amazing designs for our little devices. So why no love for Android? Its not like it hasn't been suggested. I first put in the suggestion back last August, and again a few days ago.
There has even been others suggesting Android at least get a section in the wallpaper category. And i think this would at least be a good starting point. But with the wealth of customization options for Android, DA seems like the perfect place to post all your wallpapers, icons, docks, and themes. There needs to be a whole new slew of Android based categories on DA.
So head on over to the link below; it will take you to Moonbeam's forum for posting new category suggestions. If anything at least post a +1 to the comment I love (I'm 'hornsholdmyhalo'). Or post your own comment about what should be added, and why it should. Lets flood her with the Android love
TL;DR - No Android categories at DeviantART, Go to link, post there should be.

Yes sir, well Mesquite to be exact.
Ah, gotcha. I used to live kind of close to there. I moved by Tyler now though. I just rarely see anyone from Texas on here or on DF's so it was surprising haha.
Come on, I know there are more DA users out there in XDA land

Hello fellow Texan, born and raised in Gladewater, 28 miles north of tyler. Straight up 271.
I'll go by DA and make my mark.
Nice to see another one! This makes about a total of..I'd say around 4 haha.
Thanks.
I'm down. I'll upload some a wallpaper I made after school. It's effing blocked here.
I stumbled upon DA a while back looking for Gingerbread Icons (or the ability to make them) and I very much liked what I saw, but I couldn't help but notice there was basically ZERO Android-based artwork ... and of course, no GB icons !!!
There are very talented individuals @ Deviant Art and I couldn't believe there was NO Android material !
Wel, maybe there are no specific categories for Android, but defintely there is some Android-artwork over there...

Oh yea quite a bit of it, even a group or two. But as you can see, no categories.
Come on everyone!! Don't just talk the talk, post on her page!! Lets get her attention
Posted.
For our community to grow even more artists here on XDA should share their work on DeviantART. It'd be great.
Agreed, it would be great for them to go all out and give us all the categories we need!!
I just wonder what she is gonna say when she sees the sheer amount of support for android
Shes gonna throw out her Ipod/iphone and run to the [insert carrier name here] store screaming "forgive me for I have been so blind!!" lmao sorry went off a bit. Oh yeah anyone familiar with da, user otisbee is way on the android wagon and he is pretty prominent over there
Just posted the request. The whole Customization category is a wreck over there.... needs cleaned up and brought up to date badly.
We got 10 so far! Come on guys keep it coming!!

Lol gotta love these signatures with all the "My"'s in them.....I come from a generation where the "me,my,and I" guys are just douche bags....just a hint guys....no one likes people that have to announce that its all about "you"and only you.
Personally I don't give a shiat about what you do when I see your a me,my,and I guy.
im usually the one to start threads like this haha...glad to see someone else step up to the bitter plate

like people who have to name every single damn spec about not only their current phone, but all of their past devices since they were 13 yrs old. AND not only which ROMs, kernels, modems, themes, etc. that they ran, but which ones they had Nandroid backups of as well........so informative!!!!

I agree, in the past ten years or so, at least in the U.S. this has been one of the worst fads. Listen to hit music, its all about clubbin and the "imma do me" thing. Incredibly selfish, but to each his own i guess.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
......and....and...and...yeah, people who have to put how many Vibrants they own, what ROM they're on, modem they're on, kernel they're on, theme they're on, boot animation they're are using, shutdown animation they're are using, market they're using, apps they're are using, AND they even go as far as putting that they are using sounds with Linda's voice...AHGRRR!
You people are gonna start again on **** that annoys you on a forum? WTF! GO GET MARRIED AND HAVE SOME ****ING KIDS (like me) so you have REAL life **** that is annoying. Not trying to diss u guys but I also come from a generation were guys complaining about little **** like that are called *****es!
Tucson, AZ. Anytime baby.
I see the shortbus filling up.....special ed here we come! :-D
on a side note all....im not exactly "*****ing"....but more stating a fact.
btw with as many explicitives as you just used,married and have kids?....I sure hope you don't talk to your wife and children like that,but I must say it sure sounds like you talk this way on a regular basis :-(

I'm sorry but I have to interject here. You think MY post was childish? Stop for a second and study your title; I can hear you now going "My My My"...not very befitting for an adult if you ask me.
Being a relatively new member, you have not had the time to really aquatint yourself with how things work around here. We have an off topic section for a reason. Things that do not pertain to a specific device or are just rants like these, do not belong in the device forums. It was not wrong of the moderator to move your post, he was doing his job.
Also, disrespecting a moderator will result in a temp ban so I advise you to be more considerate. kthks.

Best roms here

I started this thread mainly because the developer section's threads and the general section are being flooded.
Before and for all to read forum rules:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263#td_post_81
Now first of all....
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE *BEST* ROM OR *BEST* TWEAKS
-everything that has *best* in it's name is mainly made by questioner's preference.
E.G
You would not say that CM7 rom is *best* if you want battery life.
Here
Is a thread made by our family member REDLAG. Look at it it's the personal reviews of users about a certain rom.
Second...
STOP ASKING FOR ETA'S
Stop asking when will this be released or when will that be released. IT WILL COME OUT WHEN IT'S READY this is the main reason why great developers like Jusada and Nims11 left XDA so please if you don't want more great devs to leave STOP IT
EDIT: Now, even Spacecaker left our forums! If you came here to ask for Eta's then go away don't be a ****** or a stupid noob!
Prawesome's words:
All devs have a life,you know.Making roms is not their job..They have their schools and their girl friends to attend to.
Third..
OK this will be quite simple. If it says DEVS ONLY leave it alone. Don't comment unnecessary trash and ask for ETA's.
It's unstable so don't go making a thread in general section asking if it's stable or not.
Fourth...
RESPECT THE DEVELOPERS
Don't go to their thread and say "this rom is useless because it doesn't have (something like this or that)* SERIOUSLY this problem is one of the mains on the galaxy ace forum. Please respect them making roms aren't easy as you learning ABC or 123!
Prawesome's words:
Learns some RESPECT,If you dont know how to behave,then please..Stop posting
Fifth...
Read or search before posting anything! GOOGLE is your best friend!
Sixth...
Stop posting and posting the same stuff over and over and over again! If it says in the ROM description that ""This" is not working" Dont keep on asking is "this" working? or something like that.
Seventh...
Post in the proper section. You will get more help if you do this.
For example... don't start a question thread in developers forum just because you think it's more active than general section. EVERYTHING HAS IT'S PURPOSE
Eighth....
If you think that "why are these developers making *Other OS here* for android? "
Well some of us want to have something a little different. Of course it's android and it will remain as android but don't you want to break the limitations of it? well I do.
Ninth....
I'm sorry but this is really irritating me.
For the stupid b****es out there rating 1 star on an excellent ROM just because your language is not supported well d**n you. Stop it for god's sake making a ROM is hard and you rate them trash? sheesh
Tenth....
STOP BEING SO DEMANDING
some newbies nowadays keep on doing this like "hey I want this do It for me" at least say kindly or please. Be nice being too demanding will stress our devs and sometimes that's the reason they pause their ROMS.. now you don't like that do you?
Eleventh...
ROM MANAGER BRICKS THE ACE that's all.

A Poem to MIUI

A Poem to MIUI
A POEM FOR YOU
In the midst of two zero double one,
I had my first android which I won,
As a guy who always want some fun,
My first adventure on flashing begun.
I search the net for what to do,
Then search on ROMs for what is new,
And then my passion begun to grew,
The time I found Miui, yes its you.
I was so disapointed that I cant reach you,
Because of my low end device that wasnt new,
That my X8 only run's in froyo,
But luckily there are gingerbread port before I knew.
The best eyecandy than other I must say,
From its unique features to how its display,
I used Miui v3, even on my dismay,
Even on my device it causes delay.
My obsession grew that I cant deny,
In my old shakira I must say goodbye,
For I have to earn for me to buy,
To experience the real MIUI.
Atlast its a dream come true,
When all the functionality I have in you,
Thanks for the obsession I had S2,
Now I can play and explore the more of you.
From v3 to v5 its really something,
A lots of improvements that makes it the best thing,
Im really excited each update you bring,
For all android customization you are the king.
What a great experience on call and sms,
Your memories are safe on cloud services,
Free songs and apps on online resources,
You bring the best on all the devices.
Blacklisting and whitelisting are so easy,
Better protection from bad people lunacy,
For you we dont have to worry,
Because you really value the users privacy.
Control your data plan with network assitant,
Backup your data which are important,
Lose phone find it thru Xiaomi account,
What can you say about this? One thing it's brilliant.
Filter messages thru Anti - Spam,
Never miss the fun with sheduled alarm,
Always protected from risk with virus scan,
An easy access to functions thru toggles drop down.
Maximize buttons and screen for better accesibility,
Large and small font sizes so grandma can see,
Young and older people you make them all happy,
With such full packed tools and functionality.
From transitions to its operation,
From music effects with lyrics and caption,
From its flipping note creation,
Tell me who can avoid such temptation?
Those flashy icons, that almost copied by iphone,
That unique and cool launcher you call MiHome,
With MiSpace you will see your room,
Who can resist to put it in there custom ROM?
You can choose your everyday theme,
From sweet zip to sexy beam,
From naughty Mitu to transformer extreme,
This is the whole package that you could dream.
I joined the forum to dig deeper,
Became a beta tester to be a bug reporter,
Became a moderator to reach you further,
Proud to be in the community that help each other.
You see you are fast growing,
In every device port are showing,
Everyday we grew and keep ongoing,
You will not fall with the spirit glowing.
I know its still a long road all the way,
To satisfy all the customer based on what they pay,
I know there are ups and down but hey.
Lets all forget it for a while and celebrate on the sixtenth day.
In the 16th day, you will be three,
I want to see you on top of android tree,
Bring more happiness and fun that it should be,
A happy happy birthday from Mika Dee.
I hope your all plans will pursue,
And I believe you will never quit but continue.
Your superb legacy is to redefined Andrew,
All will agree to me that those are true.
Ops I almost forgot I have lots to do,
So let me end here my story,
On How I Met you.
**********
*****
**
PS:
Below is a Challenge.
I had form a shape i hope you see,
A symbol of love between you and me.
My humble appreciation of your creativity,
That for all of us will never be ordinary.
Theres a lot of touching testimony,
On how they met you for your beauty.
Goodluck to all who gave their entry,
Win or lose all are great story.
I wonder why people keep on translating,
I think they find this poem very interesting,
Its a previledge for me and its overwhelming,
So maybe you people can add more to what Im saying.
