Please click the link. And read. We all want xda to stay up and running. Thanks.

Ok I read it, but not following, how does taking down the site for the day prove anything when that's what the government wants? Damn if I would black my site out.

You didn't read the whole thing did you...it clearly says that they are taking down the website to raise awareness in order to get more people to voice their opinion on SOPA. I for one WILL be supporting you guys, and I am EXTREMELY happy with the amount of fighting that various big name websites are doing to help put an end to this before it even starts.

Thank you. As am i. The government is wayyyy over stepping there intended purpose wih this one. And most people do not realize the affect this would have on the entire internet/ free speech. Which is why large websites are trying to spread awareness. I mean this would probobly shutdown websies like xda you tube and many many others.

I really hope I don't have any problems with my phone on Wednesday then...

While I have no problem with their cause, the solution of "pledge or xda wont go back up" is kind of harsh

Well if it goes through and people are just to lazy to fight it craigslist. Youtube. Xda. And many of the sites we visit everyday are in jeopardy of being shutdown . Most people arent seeing how serious this is

This is just out of curiosity, not hating or demanding anything
Is it really just a who cares lets not moderate this place? I go to Optimus 2X forums and there's the cleanest I've seen in a while (Since the G1/MyTouch 3G days at least), bunch of threads that get closed after they are obviously a duplicate. In the past 25 minutes I've read 2-3 different threads about "not being bale to receive texts on ICS" between that; Draw Something, Temple Run, kernel/ICS roms/ recommendations threads, I can go on and on. Just curious as to why our thread is not "taken care of"??? It would help all of the getting off topic posts, the hatred on this specific forum, the immaturity! If the thread gets closed or moved into a already made similar thread, the person wouldn't get flamed nor would there be so much scolding and making this sub-forum look like a bunch a jerks (myself included) cause we are kinda fed up seeing the same thing over and over...
Not so much demanding it obviously, just curious.
Thanks for reading this Mods, any input is appreciated from anyone especially if you agree, so I don't like a complaining prick, lol...
Agree with you! I get excited to get on xda and see what people have posted but to see "what rom/kernel should I flash" "no sms or mms on ics " gets annoying. Someone has to clean this up a bit.

I agree, the g2x forums have become a boxing ring. Honestly, you can't say anything without a flame up your ass. It has changed me. I was never as hostile as this forum has made me. I had a guy that just told Doniqcc that he's blowing chunks because his rom is 403 not 404 call me the chump for calling him out. I'm gonna say it, I've been around XDA for almost 2 years. When the g2x first came out, there were a handful of a-holes. Then they disappeared for a year, now that CM9 is out, they're back. Then there's noobs that get promoted to beta testers and all of a sudden they are ruling EVERY THREAD. This here is talk, I've taken action and flame a certain someone every time they say something ignorant or blame the rom dev for their ignorance. It's kindergarten in our threads. Only we can clean up the mess. Have a weekly a-hole life banning. Even our devs are fighting, it's the climate in the threads. I don't have all the answers, nor do I claim to. I know one thing, something has to change. Thank you everyone, especially devs.

Could always look at a more mature forum with the same content.
Or I could find a new hobby... but let's get serious. What other forum would there be that has the same devs and all the same roms that are here, where the devs actually communicate??? Cause I doubt it. I love this forum been here since I had the G1 in '08, just wish they would clean up and take care of our thread like they do over on the Optimus 2X...

Prime example of why i don't post any of my work here anymore. And why TeamKang posts their work elsewhere. Xda has gone way downhill as a whole and there are better more user friendly forums to base work from. The xda senior mods have already stated in other threads if your not a "recognized developer" they could care less about you or what you think.

im no dev nor do i pretend to be one. im a noob from cali who loves android and what it stands for. This forum does have the reputation for being harsh to the common folk but the same people getting put down have some to take some of the blame. I mean, someone posts "whats the best rom/kernel" when a thread was just made not 20 mins ago with some feedback. if that person had scrolled down the page one click he or she would have seen it and read all the suggestions. This does tire people out because this section is filled with dumb posts like these. i dont flame anyone nor do i put down people down but it gets annoying. I vote for mt3g to become a mod for the g2x forum. Lets make it happen.
I think the harshness is MOSTLY within reason. It does get a little out of hand but the main problem is that people just refuse to click through post after post to find an answer. I was a complete noob and I still am by many standards but everything I learned was from fishing and reading and reading again. Granted I learned the importance of that coming from a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone. But its still common sense in my opinion.

People just need to learn to search and read... the more threads and forums you just read you start learning and picking up on stuff. Every forum you go in someone has an issue or a bug they think they just found and literally in most cases its a few posts above of the same issue and a fix over and over again. I remember the old days the win mobile days people actually read.. you didn't have this clutter and bloated threads of redundant non sense.. I'm not a dev by any means but I can see how annoying it must be for there rom thread to have 90 pages of which kernel and what they do better when they have there own thread for that very reason. Reading is fundamental people

This has got to stop

I'm sorry, but i just can't take it anymore. Every morning for the past few weeks, I'd go on xda, anticipating some great new app, ROM, or just anything. And lately, there's been a lot new roms, which i love and thank the devs very much for. But with those roms came new questions and problems. I understood that people had simple questions to ask, and those questions were answered. But after a while, the forums just turned to...uh garbage. Everybody is asking the same questions that were answered time after time, not reading and posting the same things over and over. Also, everyone feels the need to be rude to others or argue. If it's something about a rom, fine. But if it's a post saying how you suck or if it's a repeated question, don't feed the fire by adding back or acknowledging that question. Just ignore it. I'm sorry for this long post,i just looked at the AOKP Q&A, and it's 40 pages. There's absolutely no reason for it to be that long, and most of it is repeated questions and people fighting with each other. This is the internet, you're never gonna see each other, so don't be offended. If I'm breaking any forum rules, again, I'm sorry. It just seems that is in style lately.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
That's what the Q&A thread is for.. inquiries and discussions. The reason it is there is to leave the development threads clean of repetitive questions. I think you're just being a little dramatic. The search function isn't exactly top notch, and this is the internet.. so there will be people who are gonna be either lazy or rude, or both.
Oh, the drama!
Welcome to the internet.
I've been called every name in the book....its nothing new to me....I don't mind really.
People don't get me I'm just blunt and to the point...don't like it....well go ahead and call me names....just try calling me one I've never heard before and you just might get a thanks for it lol.....I don't bring my feelings here and neither should anyone else but hey this is the internet....get all kinds here.....its all good ....besides that's what the short bus is here for ......just take a seat and enjoy the ride :-D

It's a never ending cycle. When development pics up, so does the acts of noob... I am guilty of it too. As for loosing the search button, it happens a lot. Erik and I was just discussing that the other night...lol
Bottom line, as long as the dev threads are clean, then it shouldn't really be a problem. When real issues come up, we dev's usually post them in our threads. As for the q&a's, we should focus to keep those clean as well, because there can be a lot of useful information post there as well.
Well i use xda on my phone, and for some reason, whenever i try to search, everything comes up as 0 results, so that's why i had to use those threads. But you know, you learn from your past mistakes. Now i reflash when something goes wrong in a ROM, and i read more. But, like i said, it's getting harder to read, when the whole forum is becoming cluttered

Regarding searching from the app, I don't. The search function sucks from the app, so I wait until I have time to search from my laptop, then start a thread if no results can be found.
Patience is key, its just a phone wait til you can properly attempt to help yourself before asking for assistance.

Tvout/ics

Tv out control isnt built into any of sgs4g ics's...i have an ics tablet that has tvout always on...seems like an easy fix. But then again i havnt developed anything but a headache.
Is it possible to just change a 0 to a 1 somewhere?

Yes it is that damn hard to change the 1 to a 0. Because that is not all it takes.
If you think it is all it takes setup a build environment fix it and submit the changes to team acid. Otherwise STFU. There is more important things going on in the development then to turn on the tvout ability for you.

Wouldn't the last five posts be considered Trolling?
Something we are told not to do in "fancy signatures"?. It has only been one day since the person said they would fix it themselves. NO ETA'S remember?.
Maybe they are searching and working on it. Hopefully they can and contribute in a positive way..maybe they will Develop into the next Raver, FB, Whitehawx, krylon, ect on their travels.
The last five post only contain ridicule and insult. Trolls.
I guess the Cool people (we have a "click" in here now?) can troll without impunity but attack and accuse people of trolling.
xda is a PUBLIC Forum. It has Rules. One of which is "respect other members".
Save your **** talking for irc, gtalk or what ever else you use to talk **** about the sgs4g Community. We do not need your negativity here.
Jerry hit the triangle with exclamation mark in it and report away. Nobody is above the rules. Nobody.
@Jerry mine was a genuine joke and didnt ask for eta so relax doode but if u don't like do as eollie says report it and keep ur speech to yourself or like u said to irc, gtalk or ur blog.

Jerry,
you must have not read the entire thread. So let me explain :
The guy said he doesn't have a clue in developing.
We explained him it's not that simple and that it's 'on the list'.
The guy complained again about not having this functionality.
The guy went into dev section ROM threads posting "your ROM is incomplete! it doesn't have TV-out!"
I have his trolls on both my latest ROM threads.
Next thing the guy says "I'll fix it myself" (in a childish manner) though he said he doesn't have a clue.
So who's trolling who ? my ETA request was a joke, in case you haven't realized it.
So please next time read the entire thread, otherwise you are trolling yourself.

Don't take it personal erik. You say you were were genuinely joking. You even had the tact to put Lmao in your post.. I can't doubt you.
BUT this person IS BEING clowned/disrespected in this thread. Let's not Bull**** (semantics) each other. We all aren't stupid..
I never said you asked for an ETA.
I don't nor ever have reported a thread. That's not my style. Others assume that role..
I'll keep my comments to myself when you keep your's to yourself. Again this is a PUBLIC Forum. It has rules. New members, Senior members and Devs alike. The same rules apply to ALL. One of which is "respect other members". The OP has been disrespected in my opinion.
I am a senior member. I have been a very positive and $upporting member (read my posts/threads) from almost the day it started..I'm not looking for drama..
There is a negative attitude, disrespectful really, as of late, within this Community (by a few members) that I, and I'm sure other members, have noticed.. I'd hate to see new members chased away because a few members reply/attack negatively.
I've been here through its whole evolution so I understand where it is now..the frustration of the senior members with the "newb" not following the rules.. Search and read first..
I thought we are supposed to be making our Androids better through xda. You know learning from and teaching each other new ways to do that..
I'm not looking for drama erik. I guess I just wish the atmosphere in here was as positive as it used to be.
Thank you for all your Hard Work's doode seriously.
Jerry have you clicked on this peron's profile and viewed all the posts regarding tv-out? It gets to the point where helping is no longer an option.
I'm still trying to understand why its so important to you.
I for instance would just assume play games on Xbox and watch movies thru my cable company.
You say you have a tablet that does this TV out for you,so exactly what are you crying about,just the fact that it gives you something to cry about?
I just don't get why you would rather cause this much ruckus over something so small.
In my day I would have gotten a twitch across my backside for acting so spoiled.

Report it anyway. To answer your question, if someone managed to get you to inadvertently install some spyware from Facebook on your computer, they could possibly access your files.
Best bet is to verify he actually has the file. If he does, report it to the police.

Well, in the future keep truly sensitive media on a storage device that's not connected to the Internet and encrypt it.
I don't know what you have that would make you "dead" but unless it's so illegal that 700€ is a good deal, just accept it.
Maybe I'm boring, but the most embarrassing file on my computer is probably either any of the Katy Perry MP3s or a picture of me in my underwear.
If you're doing illegal things, keep them on a separate machine than the one you browse the Internet and conduct frivolous personal entertainment on.
But if it's kiddie porn, forward it to your local police kthx. Otherwise, what could be that bad? Sorry for suggesting the worst - I'm just an innocent soul who can't really imagine what could be worth 700€ outside of the realm where you could just pay someone to have this guy shot.

I can understand how a lot of things can complicate people's lives - I can see if they got work information that you would get in trouble for having publicly released - but in that case I would be contacting my employer first to have them get their legal team/the police on it.
I just don't keep secrets very well, I suppose - so I don't have really anything that could be used as "dirt" against me so the situation confuses me a little. If someone got naked pictures of me and published them, it's not worth 700€ to me to stop them - might as well be proud and admit, "yep that's what I look like under my clothes, crazy that we all tend to have genitals, huh ?" Though I suppose if you were entrusted to keep naked pictures of someone else (that you presumably cared about) that would indeed be a problem and a difficult situation - pay 700€ or possibly lose a relationship with someone.
Or proof of an affair, a hidden past as a porn star now that you're an elementary school teacher who lied about that past, pictures of that time you did lines of coke off a prostitute's buttocks, or video of when you paid to kill a child in a Mexican hostel for cheap thrills. I guess I'm just not cool enough to get invited to parties where that kind of thing happens so I don't have to worry about it.
@OP, if it's not this bad, I hope it cheers you up that it could be worse ? If it's that bad, er, sorry.
Google has more dirt on me than anyone who scouring my hard-drive could get. They have the proof that I'm a barely-sentient mouth-breather who Googles the stupidest things imaginable and is incapable of installing anything on Linux without a tutorial, apparently, and went on an hours-long search binge looking at pictures of baby ungulates.
Unless it's really, really bad instead of merely embarrassing, I'd just admit it myself first and leave the "blackmailer" without anything of worth. The choices here seem like either do that, pay it, or put a measure of faith in the police in whatever country this person is located. I'm not sure how effective it would be to get this person's personal information and threaten to release it and try to drum up a media fuss - would that scare them or would they just try to take you down with them ?
I'm also curious as to how they pulled this off seemingly without indication (not doubting it, just curious).
Nono dont worry its nothing illegal but it is just a plain stupid video of me that i do not want anybody to see im quite a shy person you see... meh he haven't contacted me yet back i assume he let me go away whit it...

I used to be very shy, but now I'm merely a private person. I learned a very good "lesson" that has held true so far - admit to yourself and be honest about it and people will respect you for that. If they don't, well, why let it bother you? That's their problem if you've personally accepted whatever happened - good, bad, or just stupid.
I have "secrets" that could potentially put my life in danger. But why let someone have that in a manner where they might not stop after one extortion - what's to say they won't just ask for more money later ? Better to tell them to piss off and then prepare myself for whatever.
Try, "haha, [blackmailers name] thinks they can get me to pay 700€ to keep this down. Well, here it is and now it's worthless since you all can view e being a moron right here, right now - go nuts"

Any roms working on vzw SCH-i705+

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

I like you shakatu. you've got a sense of humor I can relate with. :good:
Yeah, I can be a little sarcastic. But he DID say people like me used to be super active then disappear to play video games and aren't helpful anymore. Not that we have a life and are actually, you know, devoting 12+ hours a day sometimes 6 days a week to working full time and advancing our education...

Uh,,,,, that would be a NO then.because none of those lead to a working Rom or a working anything for that matter,,, development for this particular device is dead......that was why I made my remark...because most of you guys go to great links to impress yourselves but add very little to helping any of us that aren't as savvy,,,,, that's pretty cool animation but I see you really haven't followed any of those links in that real cool way to say nothing.....

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
