Database Develop

New members

I notice a lot of new members joining this fantastic website, great the more members the better the knowledge pool.
Sadly I note that a lot of these new members are all asking the same questions, such as:
Which ROM is best
How do I install cab files
Whats the best software
Tweaks that work for
I like many other members spend a considerable amount of time just gleaning the info we need for our particular device and am grateful for the time spent by the developers who do the hard work.
Thanks to you all
However, the noobs want it all served on a plate!!
I have a suggestion, when a newly registered member of the group joins they are limited only to post in stickies for a the first 20 or so posts. Then, hopefully they would have gleaned the info wanted from those areas before being let loose in the wild.
Just a suggestion

NICE!!!!
but in a utopy web forum... welcome all we alll say read read read before ask... and search, use the search tab... so if nothing of this happends they always ask... so we are here to redirect them to the right way.

search button
whats that?

Moderators needed!!!

Hey, moderators. Where are you?
As Ather90 left this forum, obviously the last moderator, who visited this site regularly, the level here went down.
In the meantime about 6 to 8 new rom are released, but not listed in the sticky thread.
Can somebody please stop those discussions, which rom is best.
Test yourself, and choose what you want!!!
And do me(us all) a favour: stop, close or collect all those threads about changing languages, xip, modification etc and how it is done.
Noone can understand those 4 to 6 guys. First: Your way to explain is to bad and
Second: Noone can find the missing information, if it is spread throughout the whole forum.
Typicaly roms are released, when they are ready, or announced, if they are almost completed.
Or someone creates a new Hima forum section: WM6.5 and Language development, or so.
And to those really active guys, please read the forum rules and the posted threads carefully
And most of all: Use Personel or E-Mail for your private discussions!
Thanks Sebastian
and Sorry, if someone is pissed now!!!

I havent gone anywhere, im still here its just that i have my Final Exams this month, i'll be finished on 23rd and then im on the heat
i'll update the stickies ASAP
good to see your support btw, thanks

Xperia ROM development forum is a mess!!

Xperia ROM development forum is a mess!!

Guys,
every day i see a new thread created by some users.
It is mostly like, how can i do this, how can i do that.
It is really simple, if you want to ask something about an option or a function that isn;t working then please post in the corresponding thread so we can have a clean forum.
Here is a link to the rules:http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256
please read it guys, it is very annoying to see a new thread everytime.
mods, please put some time in this xperia forum with cleaning out the ''litter''
@ all, thank you very much for your cooperation.

Now @ 203 views and nobody has left a comment or suggestion or something like that?
I think this is what the community has become, like only get what you need and then use it and then complaining, no suggestions or anything, no thanks for the chefs ?

i understand what ur saying but a im pretty sure a mod has just moved some of the useless threads because a lot of them have been moved

No.
I think people read your post and ignored it because it contained nothing useful in itself. It's a public forum, if you want neat and tidy you're probably in the wrong place.
I'm not looking to pick argument it just seems to me your original post was pointless. In most cases the title of a thread gives you enough info to decided whether it's worthy of reading.
Sure there are plenty of people who come here just to get what they want and give nothing back, again it's the nature of the beast. But I think there's still plenty of people who are willing to give as well as take and on a whole the forum still functions well.
My biggest gripe would be people asking questions answered on the previous page (i.e. lack of search) not untidiness.
Also I think the X1 forum has lost a lot of active members to the LEO forum recently. Again this is inevitable given the age of the device and the progression of handsets.
The LEO thread is much more active currently IMO. POP over there, don't forget most of what they're discussing applies to our device too.

this is true, but some can also give reasons (which are also true) that some threads are really huge, specially good rom threads, on average they are 1000 posts longs, some go as long as 11,000 posts (valkyrie), when someone new get a rom and gets a small bug, it is really impossible to read all past thread, and unfortunately the thread search is not always helpful...
the best thing for a rom forum is to be a wiki, where each rom gets a page with generic information, and links to threads of sub pages that have useful information, like how to fix a known bug, or where to get an app that does that thing..... and leave the bla bla discussions or personal opinions on the forum.
some rom developers follow such a method, but partially, in the first few posts reserved for the rom you sometimes find links to common issues and solutions, but after a while everything gets messy again....
a ROM is a "product" that needs its own area or even a forum by itself. not a single forum for many products, this brings the mess....
but this need much organization, the price to be less messy

Newbies don't know their way around

You are right and its mostly down to newbies. I'm someone who makes a point of holding off on posting on a few forum until I see the layout, get the rules, etc. so I don't annoy seasoned members and get a bad rep for being stupid.
A lot of new members to the site are a bit out of their depth (I know I was when I first joined) and its not really only being used as a developers forum/site any more. If you're a newbie you've got two choices: (1) ask, (2) spend countless hours trying to work it out for yourself.
I guess the lazy ones are a bit thread happy!
EmuX
P.S. You can show people the rules but you can't make them read.
P.P.S. Isn't this another one of those clogging up threads that aren't anything to do with ROM dev though?! (joke)

I hovered around in the X1 forum for a little more than a year, and most recently, after getting a new (additional) toy, I moved over to another forum, the one which is mentioned here already.
Frankly spoken, I have the perception that the X1 forum here is quite in order, while the HD2 forum is a real mess. For many "similar" problems and questions, many newcomers open a new thread instead of using the search function. In case of the X1 forum, there is much more "discipline".
Plus, the mods of the forums are quite effective here, I would say.
I am still very thankful that xda devs exists, thanks to all who contribute, especially the cooks... and also to those who help understanding the forum (and its rules) to newcomers. All of us started "small" and as "newb", no? And from time to time, I try to help, too - even if I am just an "average" user.

Mods please close thread
I think the point is made.
mods, please close this thread

im partly responsible for your this thread and once agian, i am sorry....i promise u it wont happen again..
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~Winston Churchill
Sorry to all the mods and admins again...

Why you cannot read all the threads about volte where these questions already answered instead of opening a new one? And didn't you read the rules? If a dev could provide what you want and have fun and time to do this in his free time, then he did it, otherwise it is depending on third-party behavior and its also OK... This volte discussion is really annoying over and over again :crying:

[CLOSED] [Discussion] TheRagingBeast Kernel: A totally baised community

I joined trb telegram gp and was totally amazed with the charging speed 2000-2100ma consistent at any temp. Then after a while noticed temp rises to whoping 47-48C contantly. Then I compared trb to pbh in the group in this good manner
Trb= Fast charging with 47C temp
Any other kernal= Ok charge speed with temp 43C max(in pb*). The trade off are equivalent trb not so gr8 as I thought.. Then a member told bb is not good then i shared charging speed of pbh in response to an admin telling pbh is bad(yes an admin talked and continue chat about pbh after all he is admin) vai screenshot and got fban immediately yes just shared the pic and after that fban from the group no warning no rules at all. Once in PE I was using no username so the admin warned me twice and third time they gave me 5 min. See the difference totally baised community even trb is closed sourced that's why thier thread is closed. And their every download link has tons and tons of ads.
BTW my thanks meter is just 1 cuz never asked anyone
TRB CLOSED THREAD LINK go and see what moderate reason were for closer https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/kernel-theragingbeast-derpgang-t3862835/page6
They were redirecting to telegram gp so that they can monetize vai their ****ty download links

XDA is not a place to discuss about Telegram groups, whether the group is good, or bad.

Okay
1. Why dont u ask other kernel cookers to get such speed
2. So when u r noob lemme tell asus P blobs are also responsible for heat, so go and complain about it to asus
3. When u share ss of our group u may need to provide proof of other kernels too. Common sense
4. Our thread was closed by mods because we didn't provide source because it was reported by so called m1 devs. So when u r not aware of such things dont try to get involved.
5. You are not forced to use this or that kernel infact roms too. No need to post such useless **** like this on xda platform.
6. Urs concerns barely effect us because we work based on our satisfaction not yours.
7. Try to learn about kernel before placing such useless **** like battery performance. We gave freedom to users to set what they want
8. Finally u say above ton community biased ??? I left to ur wisdom this one.
Thanks

Don't bring outside matters into XDA.

1. This is not the right platform to discuss this.
2. Never compare any ROM/Kernel... Developers make things according to their liking and they do not get paid for this.

Dude xda is xda and telegram is telegram.
Don't ever refer other platforms for issues here.
Also did you pay the developer to build a specific piece of software for you? If you didn't then you can't complain what they give you for free. If you use their software then thank them for giving their services for free.
Also no two developers are same TRB Developers can make their kernel as they want they did not came to you, you used their product for free.
If you like Pbh then be happy and don't compare kernels and roms each have their own set of modifications and features.
If you face a issue with any software which is free to you, you can only suggest the developer hoping it gets fixed. You can not demand anything from them according to your likings.
If you want everything you want hire developers and then you can have whatever you want. But if you use free stuff be grateful and thankful.
You bought the device from Asus and paid them go and complain to their devs don't cry on xda and telegram.
Hope this clears things up and teaches you what android developers do for you.

See the attachment first.
