[Rant] What you want but didn't get

I'm just throwing this out there...So agree if you do or don't if you don't.
Personally, I'm tired of reading various ROM threads and seeing people cry or complain about features that are not included.
If you are using ROM "X" and want the features of ROM "Y", THEN FU**ING USE THE ROM THAT HAS THE FEATURES YOU WANT! Or just learn to code yourself.
There are plenty of tutorials on this site. Enough so, that one could literally build a ROM from scratch if they wanted to.
Granted, I'm no dev by any means...but I don't run around crying about features lost or features gained. Those of you that complain...you have the WORLD at your fingertips. USE THE SEARCH FEATURE! USE GOOGLE!
If I hurt your feelings by posting this, then good. You deserved it. That is all. My asshole moment is now over.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have been on this site for 2 years. I never really posted much. I spent my time searching and reading the posts. I notice the new trend is to just ask a question without any searching then ***** about the answers you receive. Ok, now I'm done.
Maybe you should name this the Rant Thread, haha.
Agree with tribalartgod

Agreed. Here's my rant...
Rant no. 1...I am so sick of ppl crying about scratched screens and broken phones. QUIT BEING CHEAP AND BUY SCREEN PROTECTORS AND PROTECTIVE CASES!!! These are smartphones that are easily broken or scratched. These are not the basic flip phone that are more durable. Use common sense and protect your investment! If you break your phone with protection, then you did something so destructive, there was no hope for it anyways.
Rant no. 2...I am so sick of ppl posting....help! I messed up my phone because I'm too lazy to read and research about how to do things PROPERLY! More times than not, if you do your due diligence and research, read, and follow basic instructions, you will find that you will have very little issues, if any. And how about ppl that cut corners and take short cuts to try and save time. Do this, and you will find yourself spending more time troubleshooting issues because you didn't do it properly. Research, read, and follow instructions. Its just as simple as that.

Ahhhh that was very refreshing to read. I agree with your rant 100%.
Rant no...3: I have two roms, which one is the best?
There is no such thing as the best one, geez. Just try both of them and see what you like more.

yay!! I can throw in my rant??
Rant 1
I am so sick of people who are sick if people asking questions... Even if they have been askee 100 times. If the question could only be asked one time, this forum would have like 5 threads...
Rant 2
I'm so sick of people posting "use the search" you know... You could have just posted the answers, just saying ;-)
Rant 3
I'm sick of people not being able to asked questions with out fear of being flamed because they were "to lazy to search " some times you just want to ask with out having to search, or simply don't know how.. mind blowing isn't it?! Some one not knowing how to search!
Rant 4
I'm sure some idiot will come in here and flame me.... In sick of that as well! ;-)

I just tried to flash Rom X and my phone is stuck on the white HTC screen and then when I try to go into clockwork its just black and I can't see anything and then when I tried to root it failed and now I have no sound and there's a guide that's stickied on the general section that says guide to rooting and flashing and 400 similar posts to mine but can u help me plz.

@Thremix... As far as the search thing is concerned, there really should not be any excuse at all. It's a big button that says "Search this Thread", or "Search this forum."
I can't speak for anyone but myself on this... But if you post in the wrong section, or what have you... I personally will tell you the answer if I know it. But in doing so, I also tell you it has already been posted, and provide the link to that thread. If it's in the wrong section, I'll answer you, and tell you it's in the wrong section.
As far as flaming people... Ignorance leads to that. And unfortunately, I am guilty of flaming people before. I'd be a liar if I said otherwise. And I too, am guilty of posting in the wrong section sometimes.
Sometimes the categories just aren't specific enough... For example: Themes and Apps... If it is your own work, I feel it should go in the Dev section. that's just me. If it's someone else's, then yes, in the Themes and Apps section.

No flame, just going to say that 3 of your rants are about the first rule of these here forums.
Forum Rules
Not to mention that that no flaming is the second rule.
While we can politely ask them to search, most time I will tell them to search or read while posting a helpful link.
Now my rant:
I don't understand why I can't buy alcohol after 2 in the morning its ludicrous! /rant

A real kicker for me is the inability to write a thread title. "Has anyone else noticed?" "Am I the only one?" "HELP" are examples of completely useless thread titles and doesn't explain what you're trying to convey at all.
I'm not exactly the most patient person in the world and my personality comes off fairly blunt but I'm glad to see that quite a few people are annoyed at exactly the same things I am. I'm fairly new to XDA as a whole but these kinds of things go on in pretty much every other forum I've been somewhat active on as well.

I'll typically answer it and give a link to another thread that's exactly the same question that I found in 5 seconds using search. Or just simply post a link to the thread and hope that people can figure it out by themselves (which usually isn't the case). But bloody hell, there's been so many "which rom is the best?" threads lately that I've been staying out of General and just sticking to a few select threads under the development section.

And the more substantive version of my rant...
I actually don't use search as much as I would like, as most of my posts are from the XDA app, not the full site. And there is a significant difference in functionality.
However, instead of posting a new thread for each random question that enters my brain, I'll at least thread-browse and subscribe, reading the entire thread.
The problem is that people just want to be spoon-fed the answers to problems that have, 9 out of 10 times, already been previously encountered...and solved.
They often times seem to have the attitude that XDA is free technical support, here to cater to them. Not. It takes time to answer questions, no one gets paid for it, and having to repeat the same answer to a fresh face multiple times per day gets a little tiresome.
Personally, I *prefer* having information prior to doing something I'm unsure about, it's when there's a lot of slightly different answers to the same question that tempts me to ask for clarification.
Still not enough to break my "0 new threads started," though. I saving that for a special occasion.

I can see this being the thread of the year. Whatever was on your mind but you didn't wanna be an asshole and post- let it out.
Edit- and this is what happens when companies like apple have the attitude -'every single one of our users is an utter moron, so we better spoon feed and restrict what they can do'- but they used a one click jailbreak so there super hackers. I'm kinda glad this phone isn't a simple one click root. It makes the users at least READ and research a little so they might start to understand a little what's going on
I'm the kind of person that when I do something, I don't want a step by step tutorial with exactly what buttons to push on the keyboard, I want to know why and what I'm doing when I'm doing it. That's just me though.

I'm going to rant because I think there should be a 15 question quiz you should be required to pass before you could post or create new topics in anything related to development. /short rant end

I don't think any of the newer phone forums have a Q&A section. I guess they figured that it was close enough to general. And it's not necessarily the question asking that gets annoying; no one minds helping. It's asking a question that has been asked 7 times in the last 4 pages. I just generally answer the questions, but I have seen it happen to some people so much (read: the MIUI thread lol) that it gets annoyingly redundant to answer the same question over....and over....and over....
CM7 Inspire 4G

I never realized that people were required to read a thread, let alone reply to it. If someone's thread starts with "I scratched my screen", why bother reading it if you are not interested. I think it is expected to see these type of posts in the General section. If all you want to do is read about developement, there is a section for that. I previously learned to hack the **** of my Windows phone thanks to some very helpful people here at XDA. Despite the fact that I haven't rooted my Inspire, I visit here daily because I have learned to do some other things and about a lot of other things. I'm new to Android. When someone posts about scratching their screen, some helpful guys will come in with recommendations about which brands of screen protectors and cases they use and the pros and cons of them. I like that. I wouldn't expect to see that in the developers section, but I'm ok with it in the General section. As far as the guys that get in trouble when rooting, searching is not as easy as one would assume, especially if in a panic state. When you already know what went wrong it's probably an easy search. For someone that is looking at non functional phone without knowing what the hell went wrong, it might not be as easy. I will probably eventually root, but not until I'm ready. Probably when AT&T refuses to release that Gingerbread upgrade. In the meantime, even reading about the problems noobs run into helps me. As far as what the op posted about different roms, I do agree. Try them out and if the perfect one is not out there for you, suck it up and pick one. I don't post much, but I do like to read and hate to see discouragement towards the noobs and posters that just post general issues or that get into trouble. I'm pretty sure we all started somewheres.

To an extent I can understand getting tired of the same questions over and over. I can understand if someone asks something on page 284 in a thread that was potentially answered all the way back on page 56 of the same thread. But when the answer to the question is three posts up (or a page back)... yeah that's being absolutely lazy.

Yay another typo. Too lazu to proofread but not too lazu to clog this thread up with more useless crap?

Another thing that would help is for everyone not to post their every thought in development threads. Then the lazu people would have an easier time reading through the thread...

But this is the proper thread to post this in, our not? that was posted using the htc trace, since went back to swype. Was only trying to make the point that most of the answers are readily available and that needles post in the devs section do nothing but force the devs to just ignore the true problems.

To the OP:
You have a valid point. However, when you say it with cursing and misspelled words, it puts your argument on a foundation built on quicksand.
I generally do not like reading through 10 pages of comments in order to find possible bugs and such that go something like:
"WHEN'S THE NEXT UPDATE COMING OUT???!!!" or "THANKSSSS WORKS GREAT ON MY PHONE!!!!"
People can say those things (at least the later one [no developer likes hearing about ETAs]) in the normal forums. Save your praises for the said ROM there guys.
However, I don't expect it to change, because most of those that would be doing that would also not care about reading this thread or changing their habits, sadly
Mostly, the forums just need more consistent moderation of topics to prune out posts that aren't needed in development threads or have them relocated to another forum/thread where they can be seen, but not deleted.

I like turtles!!!

[Apology] Bring the Hox Community Together

This community here has been strong, informative and helpful to many Hox users. IMO, it has also been used to flame, disrespect, and challenge personal opinions in several threads. I myself have fallen into this pit. I just wanted everyone to read a thread posted in the EVO LTE forums from a person whom not only fell into this pit himself, but recognized it and publically corrected himself to better bring back his community. Im not implying anything against the Hox community, but just hope it can serve as an example, that we stand stronger united and can/will accomplish much more as individual minds coming together. Not individuals thinking a mind. Please click the link below, to read how this xda member noted his closed mindness, and forfeited it for the good of his community.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29136185
With this said, there are great feats still to be accomplished for the Hox devices. Let's all put our 2 cents in where we can, put away the other 98, and make these feats into accomplishments!!

Agreed. I was a victim of that for my very first post. I was GRILLED for not searching first when I actually did. Beings I didn't know my way around the threads and it was my 3 day old first android phone. Ppl are looking to learn, receive help, and also give help when able to. Nobody comes here asking to be bashed on or fussed at like a kid.

You also have to understand the flip side of the coin. People come here and start threads to ask the same basic questions that people have answered 500 times already. Questions that would have been easily answered in 10 seconds had they done a search first. Its frustrating.
Yes, there are no stupid questions. Yes we were all noobs at one point. Part of learning is figuring basic out things yourself by doing some research though.

Agreed 100%. There are a million threads that could have been avoided simply by SEARCHING. If you can navigate to XDA using your browser, you have the skills necessary to use the search function. People are just lazy and don't want to do any reading, they'd rather someone just respond with an answer. Super annoying, my .02.

This. It is painfully evident when people don't search even though they say they do when and that's when I'll come in with a snarky post. You can't tell me you searched for the method to root 1.85 when there is a STICKY with the procedure in development, and 4 other threads on the first two pages of Q+A asking the same question, with people providing answers. Sorry, but I don't buy it. If you want me to put forth some effort into helping you, you must put forth the effort to help yourself first.
That all said, if it shows that you did do some research but still need some clarification on a few things, you betcha I will be willing to help to the best of my ability. I may be an asshole sometimes, but I am actually a really nice guy and I do enjoy helping people out. Just don't start our e-relationship on a lie ("I searched, I swear!") and we'll get along famously.

Training noobs, snarky fun posts, they help teach and make xda a fun place. Mostly, I'm referring to the heated debates, and hateful posts that have crippled some of our unreplacable threads and formed hatefulness between members. By all means, I love when an opportunity arises for me to get a few people to laugh, please, keep them coming when you see fit

(You Can S-Off For All I Care)

I agree that there are times where a lot of us get really upset and lose our cool. And that we should try to keep that to a minimum.
But this isn't exactly a forum for extremely basic questions at the same time, even though we all have some from time to time, there are tons of other forums like that though. And some people are obviously trolling too ("HTC done it wrong" guy, lol....)

The only thing that ticks me off about this community are the "should I get a galaxy s3" threads. No one cares. This is an enthusiast forum for the HOX. If you want to talk gs3 go over there.
If this was a BMW enthusiast forum you would be flamed to hell if you wrote a topic like "should I switch to a mustang?".
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

XDA was a great place even when I joined during the GS1 era. However, it slowly turned into turned to crap with the success Android garnered though. Aside from the flame bait or post-purchase rationalization threads, the general user of this forum feels the developers OWE it to the users to make their devices better, for free. Not even joking. There were some people who expressed that in their posts in the Nexus S forums. Then there are the people who don't even bother to read instructions or stickies and when they brick their device they blame the developers. I like to help people as much as the next guy once being a noob myself, but it ain't fun when I answer the same question I know I answered last week.

Why don't we create a thread specifically for noobs,beginners in android,people who came from iphone and people that are lost in what to do..and put it in Dev thread..entitled "Lost,Confused and Dont know what to Do"..since I think everyone would go to the Dev Thread first before reading the General and Q&A thread..something like Help Support..where anybody can help...

Really? Hmmm....yep there was tons of sense 4+ roms here and they just disappeared....no if you simply searched Google or read a little bit for like two mins maybe less you'd realize only the intl one x has jb with sense and we don't have any leaks yet.......

Someone is porting sense 4.5 from the droid DNA tho. But it's very unstable at the moment

Did the Search button stop working this week? What did I miss?

I have read and realize that only the One X and not the One XL has a JB with sense. What i am asking is what are waiting for (ex a leak, a port). I see you have answered that, but could have just answered with out the the silliness.

Yes, we could have, prior to the 500 other threads people have posted this month asking the same questions. But it's been a rough couple of weeks.

That's what I'm thinking... Did the mods take the search button off line?

It's like the garbage man. No matter how much you pick up, there's always a new pile of crap when you come back the next time.

I'm sorry if I came off a little rude but like Elvis said only so many threads on the sane topic can a sane man take until he gets to become a curmudgeon on that basis...and also.as stated its just kind of a preview Rom but newtoroot did port. Senses 4.5 jb Rom but.only a couple things working but porting a diff Rom is not.easy especially without the kernel modules

To thoes who that this was another redundant thread, I didn't mean for that to happen. I really didn't know how to word a search for what I was questioning. But thanks to who answered.

You know you have a choice right? Why do you feel the need to ?
You actually did sound quite rude, when you could've just let others answer in a more better manner.
Search button? Yeah like that works so smoothly. .Lmao
And sometimes it's hard for others who's not so familiar with the subject and there's A lot to look in /read.
Sometimes it doesn't hurt to just ask and if anyone knows and is willing to answer, then let them.leave all your negative comment and complaining to yourself which isn't helping anyone and leaving others to look through more stuff before finding an actual answer.

Idk how long you've been lurking the one xl forums but the answer to that q is everywhere...and I did answer the question.... Also I'd like to know why you felt high and mighty today to single me out when other people posted worse things in this thread? I get it its ok..you just aren't the brightest kid....and I doubt you bothered to read but I said my apologies so go **** yourself and stop trying to act like a little policeman....people can use google **** it'll give you more info than here it's not that dam hard or he could look in the one xl forum and after like 1min find the answer.....still don't know why you signaled me out but ok but you're truly pathetic I answer questions very often to the best of my ability to help people there's only after so many threads on the same thing that you know people didn't search even five seconds.....it's time for you to put some big boy pants on buddy

Lol, so much hate in this thread. I like it.

I find the Search function at xda works quite well. I use it all the time and usually find what I'm looking for.
Yeah, there is a lot to read, but that's what we do here: We read and research before asking questions that have been answered 100 times already.
There's a good reason why the forum rules ask people to search first: Starting a new thread when there are already others on the same subject just makes it harder for the next guy to find what he needs to know. So by not doing that, they're exacerbating the very problem you're complaining about here.

People who don't search should be banned....as it is breaking XDA rules.

I like this.

There should be some type of monitoring to tell if some one searched first, before posting then ban them for not searching.

See xda has this feature when you try to make a post it takes you title and compares it to similar posts to try and prevent double posting. People just need to pay attention to that

ExFat support beyond Touchwiz?

I've been running Vincom's Superlite Official JB for a couple of months because I've found the need to play some 5GB files on my SD. I know the recoveries now support ExFat on our phone, so is this code that can be added in to the other roms (AOSP, AOKP, CM, etc.) as well? I miss the flexibility, speed, and battery of the others even though Sammy and Vincom do a good job with the Touchwiz integration.

Why is this in the dev section you are asking a question and are not providing an original work someone please report.

Read forum rules before posting
Questions go in Q&A
Dev section is sacred ground
Thread moved
FNM

Really? I didn't read the forum rule? I've only been a member since 2006. This board has a rep for being a bunch of a-holes because of these types of policies. It's not like I asked "what is touchwiz" or "how do I reboot into recovery". It's this kind of thing that keeps us from getting even better feature sets and keeps everything so fractured because there are 6000 ROMs that are 90% "there". I've posted plenty of help in the past, though I'm no dev, but I'm done. I'd love to hear someone clearly explain to me how this is a "Q&A" question more than it is a dev question. Now that you've moved it none of this will get any attention anyway so ban me if you like, I can have these conversations elsewhere and still get what I need.
P.S. FWIW my original reply had more about what I really think about crybabies like the original "thread reporter", but at least Kenny was nice enough to PM why he made the move as well, even though I disagree with it. If anyone wants an uncensored response, and my account isn't banned, PM me and I'll gladly share my thoughts about this BS.

You act like you understand the rules yet you decide they are arbitrary. Dev section is for development purposes only as in actually providing work, not some kid who wants to ask a question. Its pretty obvious why it was moved there is no good reason to disagree with it so if you must go elsewhere so be it.

I'm the "thread reporter". It was in the wrong place. I reported it. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and figured it was a mistake. I also tried to save you from the "wrong place" posts. Had I known you where actually just an idiot I wouldn't have done it. People like you are the problem with XDA. Don't try to turn the tables. Respect the rules or leave.

Looks like there's no reason it can't be done with fuse. Someone has a flashable zip for the s3 and cm10.1. I don't see any kernel modules in the zip so you might be able to use it on the skyrocket.

You've spawned at least 3 additional posts so far so bad strategy. And yeah, crybaby.

Yeah, that's a good thread. Seems quite do-able, just guess few people care because they haven't yet started dealing with large files.

No its a legitimate question that has nothing to do with what the dev section is for maybe you should learn to read and go back over the rules.

Says the 3 month member. I'm done, rookie. Respond away, but lart2150 offered a good thread, it's clearly a good question even if you're too stupid to realize it, and it's clearly not going to get any attention because of stupidity like this. I get that's how it is, no sense in fighting it. Just wanted to get the truth out there, I've said my peace, so flame away. Being around for 7 years (well, the last 3-4 here anyway) has taught me that douches like you must be heard if nothing else. So have at it.

Only 6 thanks in 7 years dude! You are useless anyways, goodbye. You can't even figure out that questions go in the Q and A section. What a joke.
