Stranger lands, yet so familiar - Introductions

Yeah, the title doesn't really make any sense.
But anyways, I'm RandomParable! I'm a software, back-end and front-end developer from time to time, but it's something that I like to keep to myself, mostly because I don't want to inflict pain and suffering on someone else. Other than that, I like to do things for people's eyes, because why not?
Went on here to ask, maybe do some answering depending on that day, about general technical issues.
Maybe I'll regret this, maybe I'll not, who knows! The future is an uncertain mess.

Welcome to XDA !

Sorry...

Dang guys, I'm sorry about asking about a web site... My bad. Didn't think it would cause so much trouble. I appologize...

IMHO, mistakes are made, stuff happens. Best thing to do is learn from it and not do it again, and heck, if it keeps someone else from making the same mistake, all the better. No worries!

Nah, you're forgiven since you weren't banned. Nobody's really to say that you weren't. Half of these people here are probably on that site anyways.

wow wtf now im dreaming of ROMs and Chefs??

Very strange, and it was my first dream in a long time, let alone ever dreaming of a phone or software lol
so in my dream i had an in-person discussion with NilsP about his ROM about how i think he should add the 5 latest apps to the transparent dropdown. No biggie, 10min convo
Now im warped a few days later and im at like a BBQ party, and i meet someone and start showing him my phone and a few ROMs i had on backup
I pull down the transparent dropdown and see some chrome looking skulls, with red glowy eyes ... 5 of them across the top of the dropdown where the apps would be!!
So i say wtf is this? Maybe i never really broke in NilsP's ROM and its just now initializing or something??
Now the phone reboots itself and its some chromed skull theme, and the 5 recent apps are in the dropdown!!
In my dream i was kicking myself trying to figure out how the hell this ROM all of a sudden had it! Or did NilsP find a way to hack into my phone and add the feature i begged him for??
Last thing i remember is being puzzled and stumped, then i woke up
stupid as hell, but thats it lol
go ahead, flame away haha

It's the truth. Just take a look at the number of off topic posts in this forum alone each day. There are the best devs on xda, but along with that comes some of the dumbest posts I've seen on any forum.

HoliRaider thread gone... whats next?

Was that a deletion by user or deletion by mod? It's a shame to think that the rom community for this device is going to be killed off by xda.
Thread is unapproved until I find out what happened for sure. There were no longer any links in the op just a rant. I'm only posting this so you know where it went. Once things get sorted we will see where we are.
I want no flaming of anyone. If I see any disciplinary action will be taken.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank bananacakes for all the hard work, along with the other devs. You guys give this ever so small vivid-owning community many things to continue looking forward to... despite the many ups and downs that have occurred in just the past 3 months. Thanks for sharing your gifts!

Without saying who's right or wrong, it is always a sad when developers leave, whether it is Bananacakes or Wild Child. I'm glad that both has decided to continue to cook ROMs for our tiny community, whether it is on this site or another.
With what both chefs have done for the community, I think they both deserve better than to be spoken poorly upon. Hopefully all that has been said are done from the supporters of either, because they deserve better...
i second that
I agree, we need both devs and regardless of what's going on they make a difference for our (when stock) crappy phones. What they have done is the only reason I want to grab this slab up in the am, lol.. respects to you both , come back Yal.......

Why do you have to be rude about it? Why can't you just avoid clicking on this thread rather than going out of your way to comment your displeasure? Not every single thread here has to pander to your own desires.
OP has a legit question. Yes, it has been answered before, but firmware updates can always change recommendations so it is more wise than not to ask about a device's current state rather than rely on old threads.

Totally agree with you. Having spent many years on this forum, there appears to be a growing trend towards the " another thread like this?" Or the age old classic "use the search feature before posting" yada yada yawn yawn. I think it normally stems from those that end up getting a bit too big for their boots. It really is so simple, don't like thread ignore, it will then disappear off the bottom of the screen. It's a shame that those with such skill don't get this concept, but instead resort to generally being a bit obnoxious.
Now to answer the OP in a sensible manner...
Yes I think the GG is worth it if you like your gadgets. It really is most definitely for me not something you really need. It is however something you really want. It is on the one hand the most unnecessary gadget of all time, but at the same time the most fabulous tech toy you could imagine. I love mine and I'm really glad I bought it.
If you can afford it then do it- put it down to a Christmas extravagance!!!

Like XDA But On Steroids

Hello everyone,
I've been pondering over some project to divert my time on and well recently I've begun to notice the somewhat unorganized mess XDA has become. So I thought of the fabulous idea of creating a new website made strictly for ROMs, Kernels, Rooting, & Unlocking Bootloaders. The website would have separate sections for each device, then differing versions of the device, then for android version, and then finally for type of development. For example AT&T Galaxy S3 CM12 rom would be found under Galaxy S3>AT&T>Lollipop>Roms>Cyanogenmod 12.
Get it? Super organized, super easy to find things.
What do you guys think? Is this something worth investing my time in? Or should I just give u on this little project? Be brutally honest please. After all there is no point on building a website that nobody will ever use.
More steps but easier finds. Nice.
Sounds good, especially if you can get support from xda.
CyanogenMod 11 listed under jellybean ROMs?
Your biggest issue is people dont really leave xda. Developer wise most are keen to stay here because support and friends are here i imagine. Also logistically trying to support even half the phones xda does and have it so organised into just what the phones are compatible with, along with paired Q&A + general threads would be immensely time consuming and would require more than a few people to keep up with the flow. Not even considering user mistakes with roms added in the wrong forum. While it would be a good idea i wouldnt attempt it. The mods are always willing to listen to new ideas to help keep the forums tidy though. Maybe try help out closer to home?
