where are all the mods right now... new members should have to go thru tutorials and pass some sort of test before being allowed membership... It seems like this kaiser rom development forum is the new general discussion

Mods have a life and are volunteers, and as such just can't police the forum constantly. I would recommend that you don't browse the forum on the weekend if you don't want to see so many noob posts. Seems like they come out in force on the weekends, and usually the mods are off trying to have a weekend. These things have been said 1000 times before. It is frustrating, i know that of course, but these posts really have little value. If you don't have anything to actually contribute through the posts then it's best if we just don't say anything.
@ OP
Questions like this should be posted in an preexisting thread, either the rom you are using, or wherever you got your themes from, there could even be a thread on the topic already...i have not looked, but doing so helps to reduce the clutter. Plus it's a forum rule.

MOD EDIT: Easy on the CAPS, and easy on the inflammatory posts. Oh And Please, Play Nice or Not at all. ~Jimmy
Please allow posters to close their own thread. It's ridiculous! What is so harmful of us closing our own threads?
I think it is beneficial, for example:
1) OP feels harassed: closes thread
2) OP learns that there was already another, more prominent thread of the same issue: closes thread
3) OP wants too closes his upcoming software update but doesn't want to read other's post issues that he has fixed on the next version.
etc...
Why can't we close our own threads? Delete our own posts?
You should posted this on Sticky: (requests) From the Users to the Mods & Admins in About xda-developers.com section
This thread is the perfect example where you can´t close your mistake

LOL you are right. But I think you're been following me, you're like responding to every post I make.
Perhaps is because you are all over the forum?
So chances to encounter you are high and some of your posts have been of my interest
because orb300 isnt in fact a human hes the tasmanian poster
whizzes around and posts alll over the place
I´m a robot.... you didn´t know?
Ask Mods, I´m an experiment on this site a multispammer killer app
Also there are a lot of multiposters like you or poetryrocksalot, so soon you´ll get me!
Cheers,
That's the meaning you will never get that
The magic power of a mod can stop this to be fun!
thats the paisa!!!! followin everybody! posting here and there! to whoever and is the Spamin killer here... is like... That big Spider on the corner of your wall... he eats other bugs and you dont need to kill 'em all.
BTW your req is nice but not so... cause even a stupid question here can becomes a great idea... and we can laugh a lot with them too!
Like this !!!!
Cheers for that Paisa!!!
Saludos!
I think that Orb has several comps and as many arms as an octopus
Getting back to reality tho..... i agree in that we should be able to close or delete or own threads, i mean how many times (no matter how experienced you are) have you posted something after too much wine/beer then re-read a post in the morning and thought....... [email protected]#K..... i obviously didnt read that properly or didnt grasp what was being said through the haze of ones ignorance/arrogance/confidence...... i mean, apart from orb we are all human and make mistakes yes?
Give us the choice to close/delete our thread once, What harm would it do, a mod could always change the action of closing the thread if they thought it could be useful at some time?

Yeah there was this one guy who posted in the Xperia forum and all he said was: DELETED (or something along that line)
I would understand how deleting one's post would harm the fact that the conversation becomes hard to understand due to the loss of dialogue. But maybe atleast add a feature to delete double posts, or a feature to disable double post until you wait 2 days.
Guys,
I've been following the Epson and Novatek threads and it looks like good progress is being made on the fps cap. After playing with my friends Droid Incredible and seeing how silky smooth swiping and games are compared to my Evo, and with lack of 4G in my area, I am considering canceling and returning my Evo in 2 days while I am within the 30 day window. I'm sure other non-devs are in this boat and would really appreciate knowing what confidence level the devs have that they can break the 30fps cap AND keep the camera working once the appropriate drivers/source is out there. In other words, based on the latest information does it appear that the hardware is able, but the software isn't willing (yet)?
FWIW, I have a 003 w/Novatek and it has otherwise been pretty solid. But without 4G, and with this irritation, it is worth it to me to return the device and try Sprint again in 3-6 months if the alternative is to get "stuck" with a device with these limits. As an original G1 owner I know how crappy it can be to have a limitation that caps the capability of an otherwise very capable device (negligible onboard memory was a problem from day 1).
Thanks for helping me and others who may have the same question.

One has nothing to do with the other. The camera will be working once HTC releases the source, and it appears they have broken the cap and are probably gonna tweak it little by little.
People stop posting these threads!
Also, yes. It will be fixed and still have camera, but it won't be until we get the real HTC source. There is nothing devs here can do to make them release it faster. It's entirely up to them, but once we get it then we can have a fully working kernel along with fully working AOSP builds.
others may have the same question, but they:
1. read forum rules
2. have common sense
3. use the search button
Admin, move this thread to Q&A please.
Should be in the Q&A
The only reason the camera breaks is because we have to use a custom kernel to remove the FPS cap(and overclock). The custom kernel doesn't have the drivers for the camera because HTC is currently breaking the law and not releasing the source code, once that is released many amazing things will happen with this phone, including but not limited to the cap being removed with the camera and other things working.
HTC's track record on this source code release issue is starting to become fairly worrisome. That said. Yes this should be in the Q&A but at the same time I think you guys need to chill out a bit. He's not just posting another one of those threads, and this one is worded concisely enough that should someone choose to answer it, maaaaybe they could just sticky it over in the Q&A forum and be done with it.
Just saying, reserve the smackdowns for the obvious infractions of laziness.
Oh and as much as we all say use the search, I think it is worth noting that the forums search feature sucks and often still leaves you hooting through fifty pages of the same post just being quoted by someone else but still showing up as it's own result.
I cant help but feel like the fact that with SO many threads going way over the 300 post mark, eventually someone is going to need to write/use something better than off the shelf forum software, or we will forever be stuck tilting at windmills in regards to the "use the search" issue.

Thanks for the consideration, Alcaron. I always love how the douches, most of whom have been here for about 3 years LESS than I have, scream "SEARCH" and "MOVE THIS TO Q&A" when, as you noted, the search here has its limitations and moving this to Q&A will GUARANTEE it won't get noticed and another person will follow right behind and ask the same question. Truth is, it is a legit question for devs and usually the crybabies aren't even qualified to answer dev questions anyway.
As you stated, HTC's delay in releasing the source is unacceptable and will probably cost them a RMA thanks to the censors who would rather squelch this discussion. Too bad, especially considering just how compelling the device would be if HTC would support the true wizards with this info.
Mods, move this, leave it, whatever you like, but I expect others want to understand what ffolkes and his peers think and it will be asked again.
The issue is posting this in the dev section, instead of the Q&A. That's what's inexcusable. Yes, the search function is subpar, but dammit at least re-post in the right section.
This keeps getting called "trivial" but the fact of the matter is when you see it 100 different times, the small annoyances add up to 1 big episode of rage! It's against the forum rules for a reason. Abide by them or leave.

just ask yourself these questions.
does this thread contribute to development for the evo?
no. it's a guy who is telling us "thanks for your work, but i'm returning it cause there's too many problems. though i know you guys'll get it right eventually". look, there's nothing wrong with the post, just please put it in the right section!

I just felt everyone should read this twice, my advice is wait it out.
The EVO even without 4G is superior to the Incredible in my opinion and we will have it fully unleashed very soon.

ROTFLMAO. "Abide by them or leave." Whatever, dude. Maybe you should take a chill pill - or leave yourself.
Again, at the end of the day if you can't handle these types of questions you are in for a lifetime of pain. This isn't a "how do I root my phone" question. This is a question, that in my opinion at least (and guess what, that matters at least as much as yours) should be here for two reasons:
1. it may actually get looked at by devs (versus in general) and
2. it is a legit dev question
Most of the 30fps threads have, at the moment, coalesced around three topics:
1. Which VPA settings give you the most FPS
2. Do we think the MDDI buffer has some hardware cap that is being fooled by some sort of RGB to MDDI bridge which is now either a) working great or b) a placebo effect, depending upon who you believe
3. How the various patches are effecting various hardware rev/panel combinations
At this point, without the source and the possibility of it not being released for months (see Hero), and based upon the discussions, I think it will be at least 3 months until we see a working 50-60fps solution, camera, and HDMI port solution - but I was giving devs a chance to agree or even disagree amongst themselves and to explain their position.
This is the last post I'll waste any time addressing the douches, if someone wants to contribute to the answer feel free to do so, and if you want to complain about the post then no one but the mods can stop you, but i won't perpetuate it.
You should return the device and get something else.
Wow. That all took an unexpected turn.
It's true that dev was the wrong spot to post, but oh well, get over it, they'll never learn..
Id keep it. Well I am, unless news of the epic comes verrrry quick.
Even then. Hard decision.
If you're willing to wait for a truly rewarding phone experience then hold out.

On the contrary, the custom kernel does have the drivers for the camera--both cameras actually. I spent about an hour working on the camera last night, and it appears the problem isn't really with the drivers, but we probably have the wrong GPIO tables for it, since we're using the same ones the Incredible uses. I'm not sure how we can get the right tables without the official source, but me and maejrep have been working on it.
We'll update the custom kernel thread if it gets fixed.

Awesome Cicatrize, this type of info is exactly what I was looking for.....best of luck to you.
Ugh, the "something about my evo makes me mad so I'm going to get an <other phone>," threads get so old. Do it already, we don't need to hear about it. I personally like my EVO, I like being on Sprint with upgrades every year and good coverage and inexpensive monthly fees ($10 premium data addon be damned,) and I sure as heck know I don't want to lack those things and get tied into a 2-year contract with a $375 termination fee on Verizon or AT&T at the same time that said companies have started to tier data usage.
I was trying to help others in similr situations. But unfortunately the biased fanboys came to town to complain about the iphone being better in which I made no such claims. I happened to be in a situation where I have been doing extensive testing to determine which phone is best for me and tried to share. Nuff said. Mods please delete this useful, detailed, but not wanted post.
yeah it does...but not be an asshole, but was this thread really needed?
There is an iPhone vs. Captivate thread already here, and adding the nexus one is a nice touch but it could have been placed in the same thread.
I liked the post, I'm just all for keeping the forum clean and every day i check and there is another 30 threads all of them kinda similar...we need a mod (i'd do it) fast so that we can merge threads
EDIT: I just noticed you wrote the same EXACT thing in that thread...this thread is really useless...

Theres no need for the camera to have flash...its good enough as it is, led notifications it was good back in 2000, front facing camera errr theres only one us carrier that supports cripple quik video calls(sprint),trackballs,trackpads?? it has a touchscreen...use your fingers duh!, stuttering os? wtf i have had no lags what so ever, install launcher pro...poor speaker sound?? wtf do you want, a 1000w subwoffer?, tinny sounding? your insane i guess, the captivate has an onboard 3d sound card which deliver's exelent sound output/input.

Instead of trying to find info at the bottom or middle of a thread, I tried to put the info out there in the face. As much as I don't like clutter or stupid posts, I do like to find info. For every post that has info, there are thirty posts with ignorant comments. I was trying to help. But obviously those that can't see the truth, cant be helped.

you can be as bitter and snide as you want, but the fact still remains that you were double posting and giving out pure opinion.
there are two threads already created, one comparing the facts of both phones and one with user impressions...
you posted your opinion fine. people who are looking for information should search for it, it does not take long, especially when the thread title is so descriptive. Also, the thread is so active that it is always near the top, it wouldn't take much to find your thoughts.
eventually the comparison will be stickied, but until then being one of the top 5 topics should be enough to help anyone who needs to find YOUR specific observations (many of which are not shared by the consenting public)
so goodbye, I'm sure no one will miss you here

Hey Guys
My Nexus 5 screen is smashed, it was still usable until today but now the display is blurred and is unresponsive to touch.
How can I access my storage?
USB debugging was on, so when I plug my phone in to my PC, nothing shows up.
I replaced the ADB driver with MTP USB Device driver on my PC, now when I plug it in, it does show Nexus 5 in My computer but theres no files/folders inside it when I open it up.
Would be grateful for any advice

I said that there are threads everywhere about this here, take your pick, they are so plentiful that I don't know how you haven't already found them, no need to point a direction when it's everywhere around you. If we were standing in the middle of the woods and you asked me which way is the forest, is there a place I could point? Or is it all around us no matter where we look. I can't help that my reply made no sense to you.

Heres a tip for the future:
If these threads are everywhere then suggest one or two search terms for the op to look up.
The op has obviously had a look and thats why he's mentioning that he's tried replacing the driver to allow MTP access. So thats one of the many "more than one way to do it", now suggest another, doesn't have to be step by step, just enough to give somebody an idea to flesh out their search strings.
You can't help that your post made no sense, but I can help you make better sense of your future posts.

I go a little further than just trying to answer, I try to give them enough to make them think their way through finding their answer so that they understand first hand how to find it and the what/why of what they found. I can be cryptic sometimes but it's to get their gears turning. I do this because I've discovered over time that just supplying their answer, in the end, really doesn't do as much good as it could, they solve their problem but they don't get anything else out of it.
I suggest doing a Google search for:
"How to backup data on android with broken screen"
This will give more results because it will draw from more sources than just here at XDA, there's a ton of this stuff out there, you could almost virtually trip over it if one were to just look. That's why I gave no specific links.

You can't help that your post made no sense, but I can help you make better sense of your future posts.

Let the op be the judge of that.
Sometimes, thats all people want/need. I appreciate this is a hobby for you, It may not be enough for you, but if the response is enough to "solve their problem", believe me that is huge for the vast majority of people asking questions.
For the vast majority of people, a phone is just a necessity to get through life and messing with it is not their hobby. If they have a problem with their phone, they need it sorting as soon as possible with as little collateral as possible, so they can get back to their necessities or maybe even hobbies that they really enjoy. Its their perrogative.
That is why if you judge xda as a community, the vast majority of members on here have less than 50 posts. They solve their problem, their mission is complete, and then they go (this is probably true for every forum). I also fall into this category. That doesn't mean to say that sometimes I do not want more - this just isn't a craft that arouses that in me. I am a member of many forums where I have thousands of posts, and thats because I fit into the category of wanting to "get something else out of it" as you describe it. Thats my perrogative.
If we read carefully to the post written by the OP, we'll get to see if they just want to solve their problem, of if they want a little bit more. Our response should be tailored towards that. Sometimes, because of our prejudice, we decide for the op what they should want.
Also, Thanks for your help
