As we know, xda has recently allowed us to post best threads. Thats a difference from their policy before, which didnt allow best threads. Also, as we all know(well, most of us) that best roms and best kernels do not exist. Best would be whatever fills your personal needs and wants. As we all differ, our needs and wants also differ. Since all our needs and wants differ, its not possible to have a "best rom" or "best kernel". Whats best for you, could be the absolutely worst for me. So, even though xda now allows best threads, "best" doesnt actually exist. What they will turn into, if no arguments or fighting occurs, is just the same list of all roms and kernels that exist on xda. My question is whats the point to this? As in we reply in each thread with the truth, there are no best roms/kernels.
I agree with you sims. The best out come of a "best" thread is opinions. I also pm'd a mod with the same concern as you.

Kj, I have to agree with you more than the mods in that thread. I just don't see how "best" threads contribute to one of the old tenants of xda of learning and helping others learn about their device.

LOL. I'm none of the above. Notice how I've been refraining from these best threads? Last thing I need is another infraction. That's why.
Simms,
Can you even prove to me that we all see color the same? Studies have pretty much proved we don't. For what it's worth I'm with Johnny Cash on this one. Black. Though technically that's the absence of color.
Black is the best color. And yes, it's a color.
Thank you!
I think these threads are a bad idea.
Besides, everyone knows Graviton is the best. :silly:

no way can i prove that we all see colors the same, i dont think we do. we might call the same colors the same names, but thats just because we were taught to. do we see them the same, probably no, but most probably see the color similarly.
Ok guys. You have made your points over and over here. As i said before. If you have nothing to add to these threads, don't post.
If you just let the threads be, they will fall off the front page and die a natural death. Instead, you're posting your same responses over every thread and pushing them to the top.
I am familair with all of you and I respect your opinions, but please respect me and just let it go for now.
Thanks,
El Daddy

The mods gives out points that leads to being temp banned and if you continue or do something stupid they can ban you for good. This isnt posted anywhere because they claim its like explaining the law for loopholes so no one can push the system to see how much they can get away with. Pretty much the mods have the power to ban you if they need to it just depends on the mod and what you did they also can strip you of your title if your a developer or themer
http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/banning-policy-revealed/
It's VERY sad that some people even questioned whether I was joking or not, but I halfway expected it. I mean, when I said "no one has brought up battery life" that wasn't a clue? Hello!!! That's what it's come down to around here and even though I was joking I was also testing to see what responses I would get. Disappointed but unfortunately not surprised.
I think I will just chill out until I get another phone because there is obviously nothing left to discuss here, it's always the SOS. "Need better battery", "SwapSD", "you guys are the greatest ever", "best ROM around" and now the new one "hey guys, I'm leaving". LOL. Somebody posts 5 times here and expects a going away party? Hey if you're Camcory though that's another thing, just to be clear btw. To think, those threads are allowed too.
Whatever.
I agree with you artful, time for a cool off and study up on my next phone, i will still post here and there but there really nothing left to post about

With all the tech genius on the forum I was wondering if anyone could change the stock Walkman widget a little. Basically it's a bit out of place on my home screen with its dark background as all my widgets have no background.
Could it be changed to clear? Before its mentioned, no I don't want to use a different widget for it. I like the Walkman one.
I'm running Xperia Launcher 2.0.5b found on the forum. I can't find the link to the thread again though. I'm on a C6603, 4.1.2, locked bootloader.
I'm using the launcher as I like the extra little bit of customisation over the stock home. But would go back if needed
I hope someone can help.
Thanks

OP, this is not what XDA is about, please read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16682226&postcount=2441
Let me quote certain points about what you are minsunderstanding about XDA developers:
XDA is and always will be about the developers.
XDA is not a place to come and make your phone cool.
XDA IS a place to come to learn and share your knowledge. If you are not here for those reasons then you are here for the wrong ones.
I have watched XDA become a place where every dumbass in the world has a smartphone and comes here thinking they have the right to anything. Well guess what? You dont have the right to ****. We share it because we want to and we dont if we dont feel like it. Are the Developers or the Mods required to make you happy? Nope not in the least. Wanna leave. Go ahead. I beg you, please do. The less people that are asking dumb question cause they dont know what they are doing (this is understood when your new, but at least look) or are too lazy to look for it the better.

If no one responds your request, that does not mean they lack the knowledge in doing it. Demanding things will get you nowhere. If no developer wants to do what you request, then move on. Xda is not about doing what people want developers to do.

How about they should just behave in a decent manner to begin with?

Even though I was talking in general about your suggestion that everyone should need to be told how to behave properly (they already are, by the way, in the forum rules, read them), is that a proper way to behave when you're asking for help from people that work for free? Or even the proper way to behave in public? I think not.
As for everyone being a noob to begin with; that does not entitle anyone to behave inappropriately and ***** and moan if they don't get what they demand.

Sorry, but I have to correct you on this one:
4) No threads or posts asking for the best/most stable ROM/Kernel/Mod/whatever, or created for the purpose of comparing Phones/ROMs/Kernels/Mods/whatever:
These threads/posts will be deleted promptly and without warning. They have a history of causing problems due to trolls, and fanboys, along with various troublemakers, and therefore are no longer allowed. Regardless of that, there is really no way to judge whether or not a particular piece of work is better than another because it's all relative to begin with. If you want to know what piece of work is better for you, install something and try it out for a while. If you don't like it, try something else. Our Developers work hard to provide us their contributions, free of charge. Please show them the respect they deserve by trying something out and giving them your feedback.(Taken from HERE)
So, sorry guys, but thread closed.
