XDA has evolved into much more than a development forum. The development is now pigeon-holed to the Development section of each device. Check there.

This is the "General" board. If you are looking for the "Development" board, I found it here for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1677
Go into any other "general" forum. It is threads helping development, information, etc. Not baseless complaining. Straight from a moderator and from the XDA phone splash page: "XDA was founded by developers, for developers."

All new device forums start off like this. Maybe after another month or so, everything will clean up and people will stop complaining.

It a new toy, you get this on any forum witth new toys, give a few weeks and the whingers will have thrown the new toy out of the pram and moved onto something else. This forum has nothing on some of the Pro Photography forums where they gather to complain about the latest £10k pro camera and how its missing this or that and swamping the forums to the point that people who make a living from the things cant hear above the noise and dross.
On the bright side they all get board soon and move along to whing at something else.
PS. I can understand maybe you are sick of the complaints if you are device is fine, and most probably are fine. But ASUS brings this on themselves, almost every dang tablet they release seems to have a really rough first batch.
As Accused24 said, once people get their bad units replaced, the frustrated cries will die down.
Oh the irony of this thread is priceless.

The forum in which this thread is located is clearly marked "general" and part of a publicly registrable set of forums.
And this thread is deliciously ironic.

Which of these roms will make my old heroc that my gf is currently using quicker to the touch with more battery life. she is currently running aospcm 234.
Seriously how much more aosp can you get.... I used my heroc for a whole year either running cm or something by the dev aosp. now I have jaybob, evervolv, kush deck, etc.... Can someone who has used these roms individually from a non biased standpoint tell me which to use and why? (refrain from fanboy banter)
In the meantime I'm going to put kush deck with jaybobs kernel on there.

Depending on the patience level of your girlfriend, you might want to refrain from Jaybob's kernal. The camera is sometimes intermittent.
If she just wants everything to work, you should consider AOSPs froyo, everything is rock solid stable.
I'm currently trying out Deck, I've used all of them and the only quirk that bothers me is sometimes the GPS signal gets lost. I've actually lowered the max cpu settings and it hasn't happened since...but I'm sure it will.

Although I have not yet tried deck, I have tried aosp's , cm7 (not the latest rc, tho), evervolv, and jaybob's. I would say that out out those, jaybob's was the most hassle-free. Just make sure to flash the .29 kernel so to avoid camera issues (which the .35 tends to have ).
Gin & Salsa
Btw, this should be posted in the q&a section.....
Gin & Salsa
I have been on both. Although I used deck longer both Jaybob's and deck were both equally smooth and hassle free. I recently moved to the most recent CM7 release (not nightly) and love it. It's my new daily driver.
Good luck!

Your post in the dev section didn't bother me at all, I just told you it was in the wrong section (as an afterthought...) because there had been quite a bit of hoopla going on lately over that subject (non-dev related posts in the dev section) ... Not so much in the hero c threads, but still. as for getting answered, a lot of knowledgeable people read the q&a section simply because they like helping. You would definitely get answered, maybe not quite as promptly, but definitely.
You can ask a mod to delete the post if you like.
Gin & Salsa
we are here to help thats what xda is for as long as u dont post questions in development your fine if u have a specific question about a rom post it in that roms thread and youll get help alot faster and if it has to do with a bug it helps developers fix the rom to make it better. so please just dont start new threads in development asking questions.

99% of the people in here have tried most ROMs. And on top of all those still here, many of us still check these threads that finally moved on to bigger, better phones.

"Oh my! You look even uglier in 3D"
Cool..cool.. anywho I hear ya on the bigger and badder phones. I'm on evo shift now and love it. When I was on heroc still the best rom imo was aosps froyo. Might very well be still. But gf has heroc now and I want to make sure her phone can keep up with mine. honestly the hero gets better cell service then my shift does. anyways back to the point at hand.. The heroc scene blew back up and I'm excited about it. these deck roms have one hell of a reputation from what I'm gathering. But jaybobs sort of specializing in this phone vs the mass produced roms of kush. I wish I could grab some more opinions from you guys if you have the time.

I spend my time trying all these roms for the heroc and I've yet to find one that doesn't have one problem or the other on my particular phone.. Right now I'm on omfgb and its pretty cool, but it has its own set of problems..
did we seriously just do a full 360 on this dude just an fyi the same people that post in development look around in q/a to help out and same goes for general its the exact same comunity. and not as maney people posted afterwords because you already had answers so why would someone reapeat what someone else has already said bottom line is read the forum rules and post in the correct section!

if we make a thread inside the dev section for answering questions it would defeat the purpose of THIS q&a section, wouldn't it.......one way to find out which rom is the most popular would be to scan the number of posts in each rom's thread. For instance, look at the amount of activity in the aospcmod gb thread. Easily the most popular rom.

Yes. This is Off-Topic, but XDA is a mobile phone site. OT is allowed and tolerated because it is well moderated, but ultimately there are far better places if you really want to discuss games. That is precisely why there is ONE thread for games discussion and all others get locked - otherwise OT would just be two hundred games threads and nothing else.

I'm new to these forums and since this thread has kind of become a META thread about the off-topic forum, then I'm going to say that I don't know if I like how the off-topic forum works.
I have only given off-topic an initial browse to see what it's like, but it looks like 75% of the posts are huge archive posts on a single topic. Then there are like 5 or 6 scattered threads of varying levels of interesting topics. Why not just let all the posts roam free?
Since I'm new here I'm only guessing, but I feel like the off-topic community is being unnecessarily divided into huge black holes of threads where nobody really gets to know anyone else. Am I wrong in the that guess? Or is there really a community of people who hang out in the off-topic forum and manage to keep tabs on one another within these huge threads?

Most of the regulars here know each other and know quite a bit about each other. There are some good people here and some muppets - if you hang around you will soon enough work out which groups people fall into (hint: I'm one of the muppets :silly.
The OT forum is really here for people to blow off a bit of steam and build a feeling of community, without needing to chat about phones and technology all the time - just like going down the pub after work with your colleagues and not talking about work. However some people seem to feel that they have an inherent right to just open a thread for anything they want - they social equivalent of meeting your colleagues down the pub and starting to chat about sex with animals - not what the rest of the group want to discuss.

That's cool that a group of regulars persists here. I was a regular of the off topic forum at xbox.com back in the day, so I know what off topic forums can be like. The forums back then didn't have these huge archive posts though, like this forum has. It was more like jungle rules, I guess you could say, so I was just worried that the jungle rules were what made that off topic forum special for me.
But if you say that the archive threads work, then that's cool. I just have to get used to them, I guess.
