I have been an avid user of xda over the years and now am not allowed to download or do anything until I post atleast 10 posts... So here XDA all posts will be about why this new pollicy is horrible for the users whodont feel the need to gum up the forums and only want to help test and download. This is 1 of 10
Doesn't suck for me
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
How about using all 10 posts to thank the authors of the guides/faqs/wikis that you're no doubt reading to improve your knowledge?
If you 'only' want to help test and download, there is only one way that you can help to test - that is to provide feedback! This means posting. So with all of the test help you are doing for the community, I am sure you will rack up 10 posts in no time
i have liked xda since becoming an android user. +1 to xda for all the talent that is here for us. Thanks devs.
You should be able to download as normal.
It should only be posting in dev threads that is restricted, and nothing else.
Just cause you have to make 10 post doesnt mean XDA sucks. Do you know millions of member come here because of the many break throughs that is been made on XDA?
XDA is a great resource. I read this often but haven't posted much in the past. Now when I do want post in one of the dev forums I can't because of the 10-post minimum. Oh well, that will be rectified soon.

Actually ..IF.. XDA was to "suck" it would be because of n00bs like you who think XDA owes them something. The 10 post rule is very leniant imo and should be at least 100 or only to set usergroups. newbies have absolutely no business posting in the dev section as everything they ask has been asked 100 times over and also guides on the matter, plus they seem to create topics in dev section instead of Q&A/general sections.
Btw you say you have been a member (or user) for years, yet you are using an account that was created last year so what happened to your last account? Also you only have 6 posts since last year and this was your first? That shows how much you appreciate XDA.
Why dont you do XDA a favor and go away.
This is a great community and I really think that the amount of free knowledge that you get here won't be match in any other forums as to the 10 post limits that is not a big deal just give thanks and help others with your comments on problems that they may need help and soon it will be a thing of the past. I think suck is a little hard but if you know of a better place than XDA please share.
Thanks
At first, I don't feel like posting coz it will show my nubiness. ;-)
After awhile though... ah heck, it's easier for everyone if users gave feedback

We have a "thank" button now which was added to stop all the simple "thanks" posts flooding the place so please dont ask people to leave "thanks" as a reply.
Thanks to all the great minds here! I now have a rooted Captivate running Continuum v4 and love it. I will be donating to Icezar very soon. Took me a little while to figure it out being my first time trying to do anything like this to a phone but after reading a bit I got it.
Thanks so much for the great work and help articles!
We all love the devs and helpful community, but I think your thanks belong in the Continuum thread, not a new one...
Maybe
Thanks for the hint. I'm fairly new and all but I have figured out quickly enough that I can't post in a development forum until I've made 10 posts. Not to mention this was thanks to everyone that helped with articles in the Captivate area.
But I'll keep your suggestion in mind. lol

Don't mind him. Half the users on this forum are self proclaimed mini mods.
Yes, well, new members should learn when to post and where to post it. Now he/she knows. And if someone created a thread everytime they wanted to thank people, the Captivate forums would explode.

Yes, I can see that they can't post in dev forums, but is it really that hard to wait it out to be able to post there? 10 is nothing.
And as far I can tell, your profile doesn't specify gender.
Oh, and welcome to the forums, and happy flashing.
Ok, so I was a little impatient. lol
Thought I uploaded a couple of pics on there. hmmm
Thanks!
Hang in there on post count. Before you know it, your a senior member with 2 or 3 hundred posts.
Thanks haley!
We shall see. lol I work on computers for a living so the phone thing is foreign to me at this point but I'm learning fairly quick.
Continuum v5
While this being my 1st post and therefore cannont post in the developer forum. I wanted to thank cezar for his work on Continuum v5(Conf.# 5FV14942N3071105A) and rack up at least one post towards my required 10
I'm one of those people who browse threads, read, and do my best to learn without asking questions. i have never really had a big reason to post replies to anything. everything i ever need or want for info is always here somewheres on this site.
This is my thank you to all of you developers and senior posters that make XDA great and keeps XDA just a little bit above the rest.
I am genuinely appreciative of everything you all contribute to the android world.
Please keep up the good work.
I totally agree, dude. these folks need some love.
Couldn't agree more!!!
Great work, It is much appreciated.
Agreed. not just in the Gtablet forum but in every forum as well. No one asks these people to do all these wonderful things for our devices... they just do
Thank you devs!
And also thank you XDA staff for all the behind the scenes work you do.
:d:d:d:d
thank you!!!
:d:d:d:d
Many thanks
Just sending out thanks for all the work the developers do to make the devices we love to use the best they can be.
i agree. if it wasn't for the people here at xdev and other sites like it, the gtab would have died an ugly death long ago. i have gained so much knowledge just from reading all the questions and posts. i've donated a couple of times and encourage others to do the same if you can. if not, thumbs up and thanks at least lets them know their efforts are appreciated.
Hey Mates.
As some of you might know, im a developer for the T-Mobile Galaxy S II Which has lots of things that this phone has which means i could do alot of work for this phone. Mods could be easier to port since this phones only has few differences.
If you want to see my work go to the T-Mobile Galaxy S II forums and you will see my ROM which is always the first on the list. I was a dev for the Sensation 4G also, Well Mytouch 4G and Vibrant 3G also.
I would love to develop for this device since i've deved for T-Mobile only. The only thing is that i don't have a penny to by a device for development. It would be very nice if you guys help me get one if you all are interested in me developing for you all. Theres alot of users here so if you all donate what ever you can, it would help. You are not being forced so if you are not interested don't start commenting here saying bad stuff.
Things i could bring here are.
Custom kernels
My actual ROMs sure
CyanogenMOD 7
ICS maybe when source is out.
Mods as CRT and more stuff you guys like.
Some of my work for you to enjoy seeing. This is The Most recent work.
BeastMOD II From TMO SGSII
BeastMOD S v4 For Sensation
Senseless Extreme for Sensation
Hope you guys can help me get this phone. Thanks! ;-);-)
The more the merrier man.
As i have stated for the Third time......
this is a Hard Yes.
i would like to see a Experianced Dev here to bring these things.
So would I! Lets pool it up! PM me w details

Im not interested in the least...

Im not getting paid. I said to help me get the phone to dev on. NOT TO GET PAID. Different things. But what ever my man.
I want to see where im violating rules please. You have a link my dear mod? Because this is more likely a bounty thread. This is not a ROM thread with me asking users to donate or better, asking for my payment as you implied. I dont have this device so i thought i would do this since my current phone has some parts as this phone and i could bring my stuff to it. Now mod tell me where i violated the rules. THANKS
I dont see users saying bad things here. All i see is people willing to help me get the phone.
We used donation pools to aquire devices for multiple devs in the Infuse section, no mods ever closed our fund raising thread.
Melvin I recommend setting up a ChipIn, worked great for Infuse Dev Device Donations. Allows people to see the status of the funds needed and shows your contribution at work

So I’ve been seeing posts and threads floating around asking about Dev Support on the SkyRocket. There are two thoughts floating around. The first being that the SkyRocket will not have Dev support like Nexus or any other phone and we may as well give up on Dev Support, the second being that there is Dev Support and people actively working on the device. I tend to agree with the second thought so I wanted to post this up for everyone to think about.
First off we have to remember that Devs are not here to serve us. Most all Devs, regardless of device, do this as a hobby and like to share with others their hard work. Secondly, everyone should contribute SOMETHING to the community. Whether it’s advice on how to do something with our device, or links to good articles, links to deals on accessories or whatever, or if you have experience in development or gfxs or if you like to spread the word on social media. Whatever you want to do, just be a contributor to the community and the forum, I think if we all contribute more and take less, Dev support will grow and so will our community.
I also think it's awesome when people get excited about a ROM or Theme, that excitement gives the Devs postive feedback that helps them get excited. Basically what I am saying is positive feedback is just as important as the complaints and problem feedback. Probably more important, no one wants to be burden with problems constantly. An encouraging word can go a LONG way!
It’s just as important to be PROACTIVE in looking for answers to any questions you may have before you ask in the forums. It’s cool to ask a question but you should always be sure it wasn’t already answered. And be patient until someone can answer your question don’t start demanding answers if your post has only been up for a few hours, give people time to read it and digest it. Again this is just good community etiquette.
I am always available to PM if anyone ever has a question for me, I got no problem trying to help people and I enjoy seeing people figure things out. I do wallpapers, icons, docks and themes for our phones and I am a recognized Theme Dev on RootzWiki. I’m going to do my best to make the SkyRocket forums one of the greatest forums on xda. I’m not saying that to be prideful or boastful because I think we ALL need to do our best to make these forums the best they can be. We can’t just expect Devs to take the load, we got to ALL be proactive if we want good product.
All this being said, I think we have a great community started here. Looking forward to the future with all of you!

Yes YES YES!!!!!!!
this is the Truth<<<<
thanks for this post Mortem
Very well put sir. Thank you
We also have to remember that some of these devs, myself included, have families.
Families should always come first and everyone should understand that, if someone doesn't understand that then that is seriously messed up.
This is one of the reasons I am taking a break from themes, family. I get so obsessed with the theme that my family suffers, my kids don't see me for days. It's just not right. And that is something I have to work on, and that is what I am trying to do. I need to learn to tell peeps here.....yo, I need to take a break I got family that needs me.....and if they understand cool, if not, tough luck.
Wallpapers are not so intensive, I can bang a wall out in no time.....but themes, that's a whole new beast and it is intensive.
At any rate, I am excited to see what our Devs can put out and excited to keep making wallpapers for all you guys that appreciate them.
Oh one more thing. You can never hit the THANKS button too many times. It really is a moral booster to see people appreciate your work. No one here is making money from donations, and hitting the Thanks button is free.
Amen brother.. thanks to all who help this forum rock... after the holidays i might start helping out theme wise. Icons etc.. but too busy til then . And its my busy season at work. Graphics...

I would like to publicly offer my skills to any developer that is currently working on SkyRocket ROMs.
Although at the moment I cannot work on full on themes I can certainly help you in the area of gfxs if need be, depending on what you need of course.
Please let me know if I can assist in anyway, and if it's in my ability I will certainly help.
and feel free to add me to Google Plus if you are there, send me a message and I will add you to my SkyRocket circle.
