This right here is why people think poorly of the devs and why people leave.
Taking your ball and leaving and in the process removing a thread because of butthurt. I was hoping after you guys realized thrashing on a fourteen year old kid in that other thread is not acceptable and shows how immature the whole lot of you are, you would stop.

If you still don't get why developers leave this forum, you lose.
Spending time trying to wrangle the forums and keep our threads clean is the reason you don't have MIUI or CM-anything.
Respect.

1. Age doesn't matter.
2. What comes out of your mouth at any age is what matters.
3. Can you seriously stop with these posts dude, you talk big even reported me to the mods no? Leave Raver alone it's his thread if he wants to remove it, then it's his work to remove. You have no say in what he does and you don't know why he removed it so don't assume it's because he got butthurt.
Hopefully mods remove the thread and give you a strike.
Eollie
Most of us don't think poorly of devs at all. Quite the opposite actually. We think poorly of people like you who feel a need to stand on a soapbox and tell the rest of us how to act. If you feel that need as it seems you do maybe focus your energies elsewhere. Like Big Brother or some other such charity where you can impart your moral and social ideas on someone who may actually give a ****. The rest of us here are adults, including airfluip, and will act how we feel accordingly. I fully stand behind Bryan and Raver. To coin an old line "If your not part of the solution your part of the problem."
@bryan cool you know how to copy and paste. Actually the fact you cant ignore the noise and just focus is why we dont have the roms like other phones. When you guys have bad days you come here and thrash people for whatever reason you can find.
@erikmm You are correct age has nothing to do with anything. Until a grown man starts berating a child. If this was something being done in public place there would be people like me stepping in telling the grown ass man to shut up and act like a adult. Yes the child would be corrected too but you cant expect do as I say not as I do.
@hechoen There are more people that have left this place based on the reaction of the current developers than you would even care to believe. Look at the devs that have left. Read their threads. You dont see them posting things like have been posted in the past four months. Whitehawkx just stopped posting period he ignored the noise and did what he did best and develop. I truly believe if you cant ignore the noise then you shouldnt be trying to develop period. This happens every where. Doesnt matter if you get paid or not. Either do it because you like it or dont do it at all.
I wish I had better options when I bought my phone. I only bought this phone because it appeared to have better development than the other options I found at the time. I count the days until I can get a different phone. And Im sure most of you are counting them with me.
Thanks for treating me like everyone else hechoen.

Eollie, you're a twit.
The only way you'd possibly be right would be... oh, wait, nevermind... there isn't a way.
I come back to the forums less and less. I stopped testing new roms, stopped providing feedback, not because of the attitude of the devs, but because of the same BS that leads up to threads like the one you posted.
These guys come in here and do their thing for free mostly, because they can, and because they like to do it.
Then they get crapped on and it stops being fun.
I have my own side gigs and hobbies, and when people start demanding I change this or that, in work I freely created for my own enjoyment, they get a lot worse treatment from me than these forums have seen from the developers.
I can empathize with them...
It's their hobby, their fun, if someone doesn't like what they produce, or the speed at which they produce it, then that someone needs to do it themselves.
Study, learn, and crank out their own stuff, the way they want it, and then let's see how they like the *****fest that happens around here...
People don't leave because the devs are being dickish, the devs leave because 'Joe User' is being dickish.
Don't forget where you are, when I look at the top of the page I see XDA-Developers. Not XDA-Whinyassdemandingendusers.
@Bryan, I was happy to see you come back, but I wouldn't have a single harsh thing to say if you packed up and left again.
@Raver - if you're still reading over here... I enjoyed your work, and remember, Joke 'em if they can't take a f*.
I wrote this post before clicking on all of Bryan's links... now I realize I was being redundant, but screw it, I wrote it, and I'm still PO'd enough to think it's needs said again.

I agree with this post completely I am that same exact guy and yes. It probably was my fault for getting MIUI closed because I was sticking up for someone but I guess that's not the appropriate thing to do when someone tells someone else to GTFO. But now I have to "think" before I say something because someone told me to.. hmm.

@Core618 flame on dude.
If you think I dont appreciate the time and effort put into what is done then you are wrong. I do. Just because this is xda-developers doesnt mean the developers have the right to act like butthurt little tards.
If your not disgusted at how grown men trashed a fourteen year old kid then something is wrong with you. Leading by example and teaching is what they should have been doing. Instead it resorted to banning him from irc and then coming to xda to talk trash on him. Today because somebody had a bad day/night they pick up and start it again. Then when somebody steps up and says something in defense they get trashed and lo and behold the miui thread is closed..
For anyone else wanting to flame me for calling raver out for being a whiny ***** go ahead. It just shows how the lemmings will follow along. How does it feel to be a lemming?

That's not true, you're only a lemming if you join in not knowing what it's all about.
Most of the people bashing you have a brain of their own, and read your needless thread and said to themselves "He's wrong."
Lastly, and i do mean last post, this is a dev community where people post their work not your own personal diary where you write what you think is right or wrong. If you want to do that then go here: http://www.melodramatic.com/
No one is talking **** to airfluip, we are just telling him to not go off topic and respect others.
Bye eTROLLie hopefully you get a job soon that can help you afford that new phone and make you go away from this one.

There was many more but they were deleted. Again this isnt just about airflip. Its general tired of devs taking out their frustration on people and we are suppose to allow it. I didnt see one person tell bryan,raver, or fb they werent acting like adults until I posted how immature they were acting. There was many of you posting how airfilp was acting like a kid.
Also good to see you scrapping to find something to trash me about...its original too.

Hi guys,
I am looking to add the touch flo cube on to my friend HTC TyTn II for him.
I understand that his one came unlocked and he likes his current firmwire that came with it with his operator settings.
Therefore, i am wondering if it is possible to add the Touch Flo gesture and cube without having to do hardspl or any other steps require to add software to the phone.
Is it possible just to add the 2 cab's for these two peices of software and install them on to the phone via the memory card?
Advice would be appriciated massively as i really do not want to mess his phone up.
Thanks in advance
Jason
You have 200+ posts, 6 phones, been around for 9 months and you're still asking questions that we'd expect from a 10 post n00b?
Go search for your answer... Someone should remove your senior status
Oh, while you're at it, listen to http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting... I've done some additional research only to discover that you have 29 selfishly written threads begging for answers when I'm sure you could have just asked on an existing thread or searched for...
hi there, thats for your reply.
i dont have 6 phones, i have 1. I'm trying to help my friends which are new to the scene as well.
i do ask question, and through your research, i answer questions that you may consider "noobish" for people who just joined as well.
not everyone has strong computer literacy you. I appricate your help, but if your just going to flame someone next time, i would rather you turn a blind eye to my questions.
thanks again for your help.

-------
what i want wondering is if it is possible to add "TFloCube" and "FTouchFlo Configurator" on to the TyTnII via .cab and if there is a need to use hardspl.
this is what i would like to add

i understand that an option is to flash a new rom, but since his current ROM has operator features on it, its rather difficult to go down that path.
therefore, are there .cab's to add TFloCube?

You are in serious need of flaming as you've got to be the biggest repeat offender I've ever seen on this forum.
Your only saving grace is that you seem to have good manners by always saying your 'please' and 'thank you'...

i have been helping people when they PM me as well. I have also been email people with .cab's.
what is your problem? i obviously need help thats why i post. I still havent found the .cab's which i need. arent forums a place you go to, to find help? As i said, not every one has strong computer literacy like you, why dont you give people a break?
i'll take it that your having a bad day mate. why not we just stop it here before it get immature.
if someone could people tell me what i want to do is possible ( add touch flo cube via .cab's without the need of flashing a new rom) i would appriciate it very much.
thanks, jason

hardy har har bruv. Fact of the matter this place is full of idiots that are alot more rude and obnoxious because they are behind a screen. If they spoke to everyone offline like they do on, they would be walking around with black eyes.
Ive never understood why a grown adult would speak to someone online without the same manners and respect they would offline.
We all encounter people less techincial than us. Some many even be actually stupid. Thats no reason to talk down to them like they are a piece of dirt.
regardless of the fact they may ask annoying questions, you should feel honored someone wants to try your creation on their device. It should be very satisfying to know someone is getting real benefit from something you did, and trusted you enough to risk breaking their expensive gadget.
In any case, meh. Im slowly learning what I need to learn to flash my device, without asking many questions. I may even cook my own rom eventually. I respect the fact that there are many gueniwine and lovely people on this forum who get annoyed but that doesnt hide the fact that some are just total dicks.
My motto is never say anything to someone online that you wouldn't be brave enough to say to their face.

Same as my motto, but you still see what I've been saying. Just do a search of my posts.

Why you need to learn more is here (since you're not reading my signature links)

By Kyphur,
I think what a lot of people forget is that this is not a "make my phone neat & kewl" place.
As implied by the name this is technically a Developers forum/community.
Now what does that mean? Well first off it means that there is an expectation that if you are here then you want to customize your device but rather than just installing something that someone packaged you want to understand how it works and maybe even enhance it yourself.
When I first came here with a Blue Angel it was a different environment. PDA Phones were not embraced by the general public because of the expense and complexity (I paid over $400 for my BA). A $400 phone 4 years ago was expensive, today the Tilt is $300 after rebates but with inflation & the rise in the cost of other devices and the fact that there are other sources out there giving them away for $150 our neat bit of kit has become popular with mainstream users.
Now we have a flood of new users who are asking not "How can I do this myself" but more like "Give me the quick fix" without caring to understand the process. See if you read the threads then you get to experience the learning process, you see how the issues were investigated and confirmed. Then you get to watch the different attempts at resolution and learn why some failed while others worked. That is called Development.
The NooB backlash is coming from users who have walked in the development shoes and is directed mainly at those who don't care for the journey but just want the end result or destination.
As a Development Forum we are just as much (if not more) about the journey. I've read so many comments like "I don't have time to read all of the threads" or "I don't care how it works, just that it does". These very statements are contrary to the heart & soul of XDA-Devs and that is why the backlash is so strong.
Let me be very clear on this: IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE JOURNEY THEN YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
XDA-Devs is about developers & hackers helping each other and working together to get the most out of our devices by understanding them better than most.
XDA-Devs is not about helping everyone who wants a "Kewl bit of kit" make their phone better than the guy next to him.
Now do we go kicking users off who never contribute anything, NO. We tolerate it to an extent. Where the toleration ends is when these users start diluting the usefulness of the forum by repeating the same questions over and over again.
You ask us to understand your position. Well if you want to benefit from our experience and time then I think it is only fair that you understand our position.

Well it happened 2 years ago, so it's all in the past .

I want to know if I can put a diamond ROM on the AT&T Tilt. Specifically this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405728&page=119 I tried searching the forums but I'm not really good at it and I couldn't find anything. So please help.
Short answer: No unless you want a $400 (retail) paperweight.
Long answer: No unless you want a $400 (retail) paperweight. This is why you see the "hybrid" roms that use parts of the OS core from the Diamond inside Tilt/Kaiser roms.
Ask yourself these 2 questions:
What kind of phone do you have?
What kind of ROM do you want to use?
If the answers do not match, the resulting answer should be obvious.
FYI: this question was just asked several hours ago, so in addition to not searching, you didn't even browse!

Either you said this wrong, or you are wrong. Cause I can't imagine why you'd call NATF and A-Hole. I think you should go back and look at how many of your recent posts have been helpful or useful, rather than just mocking and rude recently. If you're not going to post anything more than mocking and complaining then you probably should just not post. At least post some useful information in addition to your mockery, otherwise your posts serve no purpose.
@ OP
NEVER flash a rom designed for another device. You WILL break your phone beyond repair.
@ All Noobs
If you don't understand the basics of flashing, such as hardspl, security unlock, the name of your device...then DO NOT FLASH anything. The brains around here have made flashing and modding your device fairly safe, if you do a little reading BEFORE you start.

I am referring to this thread. It was posted 2h 32m before this one. Given the lower level of activity on this forum on weekends, these 2 threads were on the same page at the time of my making my post in this one.
I also posted the exact same answer, give or take a few words, in the other thread. Everyone took it as harmless joking; I didn't come out and attack of flame him, so I don't get where I was being an a55h0l3.
The only reason I added the remark about searching was because the OP mentioned it himself.
I did not mean to offend anyone, and I'm sorry if I did.

Nothing wrong with that especially when he server I am hosting the site on is $99 a month If someone appreciates what I am doing they have the opportunity to show it in the form of helping me cover cost.
Definitely will be the start of something good, but it seems that nobody wants their work to be discovered by people who may not have a clue what XDA is.
Sarcasm in text gets me every time. I was trying to make fun of the ones who cry about people who have donate buttons and how unfair it is to those who don't donate when they get stuff after it has been well tested. 90210 kind of stuff.
Now let's all take a deep breath and relax...........ok, here goes.
Isn't this like entering someone's business and asking people to come to your's instead?
Aren't the DEV's who are here, here due to the fact that XDA is where most everyone gravitates to for this type of information and MOD's?
Not that I have any interest in the whole of XDA, but saying and asking people to come to your site so they can get better exposure...........
Thanks,
Bubba.

I do not think he is trying to take people away from XDA. More like helping to double the exposure. Kinda like, you can go to Sony's website and buy stuff there or you can go to Best buy and get it there.
Yeah but you don't see blue/yellow shirted best buy employees standing IN sony stores telling people they have the product also!

I understand your point. However he is, in his own way, trying to help the devs get exposure. His donate button is just that a donate button. It says no where that they have to pay to play. If this is not the case then I will eat my words but that is the way I see it.

Try to make it so Individual accounts can be browsed, Just makes it easier to look for what you need or want
I don't think there is any thing wrong with this. I use google reader to access daily information and when something pops up I come here for more information. This is where most information starts.

thank you for your suggestion. Will work on implementing it soon.
Also in reply to this quote, I'll need devs who want exposure to my traffic to come throw up a quick account so I can attribute articles to your username, so they can be searched this way!
In response to the other comments posted here... I will quote each one and reply shortly.

Not sure what you're saying here, dude, but if there's some kind of remark you're trying to put across, subliminally, don't be a sugar coater. Put it out there. I myself have NEVER said a word about a donate button on ANY dev's rom or anything, so the last thing that needs to happen here is false accusations.
IF and ONLY IF this was nothing to do with me personally, disregard my words, dude. Just making sure we have clarity here.

In reply to this I would like to first off state "To each his own". That's your opinion and I cannot change it but I can put the honest facts out there to clear up your attempt at making my work look like criminal.
First off, I don't really care about 'taking' people from XDA> Not my intention. If you would take a second and read the first post, you'll notice that I am offering accounts on my website to increase exposure to traffic that may not even know what XDA is!!! Now, that should have stopped your remarks right there, but I won't even jump into that bandwagon.
Think of it this way, since you seem to like to use analogies. I worked at Radio Shack who sold Sprint cell phones. Some of my customers had never been to a sprint store, but I got sprint that exposure cuz I was a beast at selling phones back in the day. Was I stealing people from Sprint? Hell no. In fact, I was guiding them TO Sprint!
Here's another one. I currently work online as a webmaster, and I own probably 20 websites. I market certain products for certain people/companies, and the surfers come and buy. Am I stealing them customers? Nope, I think not.

That message could have sent a subliminal shot to someone, unknowingly. Personally I am the OP of this thread and thought maybe that dude was trying to insinuate something, so just wanted to clear it up dude. No hard feelings here LOL!
OK, it seems that some people are to sensitive.... I see no problem with this Idea.... "People in the land of poor sense".... ITS CALLED!!! "Word of mouth"... In this action, we avoid ingesting "Corporate America's "BULL****"!
There, I said it. I'm really not sorry if i offended anybody.. But I If i did... sorry, First Amendment.
So, now that I've replied to everyone, I would absolutely love to hear some more suggestions on how I can improve the site for anyone who would visit it! I know the design isn't the hottest thing to hit the web, but that will come in time!
Since I am donating all my time into this, if someone has some hot design skills and wants to hook this site up with a hot design, feel free to PM me. I'd use one that exists already, but really... I am sick of being the same as everyone else.

Well boys and girls I just want to say thank you for the fun. I've made the jump to the atrix and I am loving it.
Thanks to all the developers who made my captivate usable. Gonna miss these forums, but its time for me to use a better phone.
Later all.

No more mkv playback for you.
And a locked bootloader to boot.....
Have you guys tried one of these yet? And I ask that not as a smartass ir anything but seriously. This phone is amazing. I don't see anything wrong with it and don't feel the need to use a ROM on it.
This is what a phone should be like. I'll accept all the negatives you guys listed. Besides....the gps works
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I must say I didn't notice my GPS not working on my captivate when I had it navigating me to a tire repair shop today... thank god for making it give me turn by turn directions. lol.. but seriously GPS works thanks to Devs! and Yes I've tried a Atrix out and it just wasn't for me, not sure if its the Blurr or what it just felt sluggish for the UI.
Now the Inspire feels good smooth no locked boot loader, OC 1.8GHz now that is a piece of hardware I'd get my hands on if I didn't know there were better phone's right around the corner
Oh my gps worked on my captivate after finding the right ROM. This one just happens to work out of the box. About to go hook the phone up to my hdtv with the included hdmi cable and watch some videos I took

Man quit being a jerk! Seriously though, you're right in a way, but really I think the multiple threads are fine and those who have an issue with them need to remember that they don't have to read them. They really cause no harm. People will be people and do it even with a sticky and people will still complain about it.

I had an atrix for a day and it was enough for me. The phone was very fast but the screen did not compare to my captivate. I'll be waiting for the galaxy s2 to come out.

Agreed. Why does everyone feel obligated to say they're leaving the captivate? I mean how important can that actually be
Lol it is a great phone; very fast and has a ton of RAM. I'm actually taking mine back in place of a Captivate and Nexus 1 tomorrow though.
I'm sure the bootloader will get cracked or something eventually and when that happens, my upgrade will be used.
These threads do nothing but cause conflicts as the the person leaving will always gush over their new purchase (and sometimes put down their previous device) while thread readers will always defend their device because they still have it.
I can't help but think that these thread starters do so with the intent to ruffle some feathers on their way out. More like a "I'm better than you" attitude masked by pretending to thank the community and developers. If they really wanted to thank developers, they would send them a PM. As for thanking the rest of the community, in all due respect, I don't think anyone really cares.
Now if it was a prominent developer leaving, I could see the reason for a thread in the general forums but a run-of-the-mill user who hasn't contributed anything significant won't affect anyone in the slightest.
Conclusion: These threads are a waste of time.

Thank you so much for assuming my intentions. In all honesty I was thanking the devs and simply saying goodbye.to a good bunch of people.
Personally I think that everyone who has to ***** about a thread they don't want to read are a waste if space and are only doing so to call attention to the fact that they seem to think they are better than anyone else and want nothing more than to belittle everyone.
So glad though that you could see right through my guise and to the heart of the matter.
Maybe one day you will realize that no one really gives a **** about you and that you are a waste of space, but I digress, I wouldn't want someone to assume I harbored any ill will to someone who is only here to make himself feel better about, well himself.
Again thank you devs. You made a good phone great, but I would rather have a phone that worked out of the box and.provided a great experiance that can be built upon, than a phone that could have been great out.of the box, but had to be improved upon to make it usable.

Oh wow this thread is funny. I could care less about people saying they got rid of their captivate and went with something else. I personally like reading threads like this and hearing debates about the differences it makes me know good and bad points about each phone. But I definitely seems like the dude was just thanking developers and saying goodbye...maybe bragging a little that he just upgraged to a dual core processing phone but that cool there's nothing wrong with that.
As for me I still love my captivate and am excited about the galaxy s 2. Super amoled plus and all the other good stuff. Plus I don't care what people say about samsung I love em. Maybe they suck at updates but whatever.

I wasn't saying that he was doing any different. But there has been a more than a few of these threads as of late, and I just feel it takes a bit away from people coming in to these forums looking to discuss their current phones.
Hey Darell, is that true that the GPS connects very very fast?? I saw a video and took only very few seconds to connect.
I am happy your happy with your new Atrix. I did go to the store to try it out, seems nice overall, but not really 'nicer' than the captivate to me. I do love the screen on the captivate. I am waiting myself for tegra 3 phones before I jump...

If they really want to thank the developers they should just donate to the whomever's ROM they were using and move on. The "Bye, I've left for the XXX" just comes off as rubbing our noses in it. Nobody really cares.

Make your Android Free of Ad's in apps and increase Browser loading times.*Updated 6/2/2012*
-First off remove the ".zip" Extension (Had to add it to upload here)
-Next transfer to device's SD Card.
-Move to the System/etc folder via Root Explorer or equivalent and overwrite the existing host file.
-Change Permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
-Enjoy an Ad Free Experience
-This Will Also Make Your PC Ad Free (If You Tether). No More Loading Useless Add's, In Turn Speeding up PC Browser Loading Times Using Less Bandwidth!
*To revert back, just delete my Host file and reboot. The OS will rewrite the original.
I will add to this file as I come across newer Ad's
*Yes This Can Be Done With Several App's, But I like My Space and Free Ram*
(Tinker, Tinker, Tinker, That's What It's All About)
Awesome, willl have to do this once my phone arrives. However, do you actually mean Reduce browser loading times??
Or one could use full-featured, easy apps from the Market such as AdAway or Adfree Android...
Sorry i just cant sit in front of a pc/Linux all day i have a job to go to. Saturdays are my only day for android. If i do it then.

Apologies to OP, but quick Adfree Android question: is there documentation for it somewhere? I checked out bigtincan.com and it doesn't have anything, and on the Android Market^H^H^H Google Play site there's very little by way of documentation. I think it just did its job, but it presents a lot of choices and it would be good to know what they all do.

Do you really think that k0nane's post was rude? Really? It is just another way to accomplish the same thing. That dude gave us root. That in itself is way more than most have offered.

badass dev? when is he coming?
anyways in all seriousness the point that k0nane was trying to make i believe was fully justified. by using nicks tweak you rely on him updating it, which from the looks of it... doesnt seem to be happening. what does android being open source have to do with helping or not helping? as far as i can see there was an alternative given thats all, no different than if i made a huge giant post about how to use alogcat and get your msl. which works fine but there is an easier way of just using getprop.
so far from what ive seen of this community is a bunch of crying on how there are no roms/kernels etc. we had one blaze owner in teh irc for teh longest time. helping with root/recovery and whenever starskyrob had a moment to test his rom. everyone claims to want cm7/cm9/aokp/ics yet i havent seen anyone except (forgive me for misspelling your name if i did) dr4stic even try to compile. if you want good things to happen to your device then you need to step forward, look into rom development, learn how to compile the kernel from source. if you cant/arent willing to put the time in then find someone who is ive mentioned all around this forum no dev is gunna give up their high end device to go buy and work on the blaze.
myself and k0nane are on sprint it just happened to be that we like to go around and help phones that dont seem like they are gunna get the big name treatment. i tweeted at my buddy mikeyinid (we worked together on the nexus s back in the day) see if he wouldnt mind helping you guys on out...

Once the man got what he needed ( because like you stated, he nor you have the device) he was out. Then started treating him like this. Shabby, problem wasn't with you. I just had to step in and defend nick because he is a bad ass dev.

I personally think a lot of the problem is the average user's interpretation of T-mobile sales reps.
I mean, I knew the S2 had a very large rom community especially because it's a very popular phone. I was led to believe by T-mobile that the phone is pretty much just an S2, but with a smaller size screen.
If you compare the phone's features and specifications, you'd be a fool to not agree.
But as it turns out, as it pertains to roms, nothing could be further from the truth.
Shame on us, the average user, for not realizing the golden rules with salespeople:
1: They'll tell you what you want to hear.
2: Most of the time they don't know what they are talking about anyway.
3: Often times when you need to buy a phone, you've not exactly been planning on it, so you have to do it hastily. This was certainly true for me.
4: Custom roms are of course never able to be supported or recognized by the carriers, they pretty much pretend they don't exist, and for good reason. Most people aren't really careful enough to be doing it, even for the "simple" methods.
5: Rom maker's ability to communicate instructions is not always clear, and yes, this can have a detrimental impact to a person, especially if they are not experienced with the process. Seriously, half of the roms I've looked at for Android phones have glaring instruction errors, and even if it gets pointed out by another person, rather than update their instructions they'll just reply, "Yeah, sorry about that" The problem is, that clarification is often times on the 40th page of the thread. Sigh.
6: And this is my number one reason........
A lot more people should be getting more and more fed up with carriers who impose limitations on phones. Seriously, if it wasn't for all this carrier and manufacturer ego-wagging, the user experience would be better for both the tweaker crowd, and the stock crowd.

badass dev? when is he coming?
anyways in all seriousness the point that k0nane was trying to make i believe was fully justified. by using nicks tweak you rely on him updating it, which from the looks of it... doesnt seem to be happening. what does android being open source have to do with helping or not helping? as far as i can see there was an alternative given thats all, no different than if i made a huge giant post about how to use alogcat and get your msl. which works fine but there is an easier way of just using getprop.
so far from what ive seen of this community is a bunch of crying on how there are no roms/kernels etc. we had one blaze owner in teh irc for teh longest time. helping with root/recovery and whenever starskyrob had a moment to test his rom. everyone claims to want cm7/cm9/aokp/ics yet i havent seen anyone except (forgive me for misspelling your name if i did) dr4stic even try to compile. if you want good things to happen to your device then you need to step forward, look into rom development, learn how to compile the kernel from source. if you cant/arent willing to put the time in then find someone who is ive mentioned all around this forum no dev is gunna give up their high end device to go buy and work on the blaze.
myself and k0nane are on sprint it just happened to be that we like to go around and help phones that dont seem like they are gunna get the big name treatment. i tweeted at my buddy mikeyinid (we worked together on the nexus s back in the day) see if he wouldnt mind helping you guys on out...

I appreciate the help with root and CWM but not the comments that follow all of mine. I have Saturdays to work with this device, so I am limited with time. I got to the point where I felt like baking for my wife and I ...= less drama. Ill be more than happy to post a "bootable , Functional Rom. But it will be redirected here: http://www.android-engineering.com/index.php
Sorry I can't sit here 24/7 I work 6 day's a week and spend the extra time with my 3 kids. I got to a point where I was neglecting my fam and was staying on the PC trying to keep up with 5 Rom's. Something had to give. What am I not updating? Is there a need? This will be put into my rom instead of an extra app. If something needs updating when I update a rom it will be done with each release. If it is unappreciated just delete the thread.
alright, its clear. i cant speak for k0nane but i can for myself. the hitsquad attempts to help devices get off teh ground but it doesnt seem like that is much wanted round here. so my apologies but ill go ahead and remove this forum from my daily loadup macro.
im keeping the cwm thread open and source up on my github for any future devs that wish it. i hope no hard feelings and best of luck to you all

This. My threads will remain open as well.
I can't control how anyone interprets what I write - and that's all I'm going to say on the matter. Blaze owners, enjoy your devices, and best of luck, as Shabby said.
