Annoying Telegram links!?!? - General Questions and Answers

I don't understand why the current trend with some devs & members is to post download links forcing you to install the 'unfriendly' Telegram app & join a group when there is already a section & thread on xda for that!
If Telegram is rewarding them with some money, then I have absolutely no problem with that as these guys are giving us, leechers, free roms, softwares, etc
Am I missing something or what?
I find it extremely inconvenient.

Those kinds of posts are supposed to be reported. It's against the rules to post links that require a user to install software or register an account to receive the actual download.
The Moderators here will handle that if you report the posts. View the forum in a browser then look around the border of each post and you'll see a yellow/orange triangle, click that and make a report. This is how you report posts on XDA.

I know, but that's where the problem lies. The devs doing this are excellent & make one of the most stable roms & kernels. It'll harm the community if they are reported! And I guess this can demotivate them from building further roms which we don't want.

They have to understand that they don't make the rules around here. Report those kinds of posts, it's against the rules. PERIOD. End of discussion.
The Moderator that handles the report will set them straight.

My, but that is a nuisance, isn't it? I know it's meant to keep newbies from cluttering up the dev forums with inane questions, but some of us do have valuable things to contribute to those forums despite being new to this particular site. Anyway, I have the same problem, but it's probably just a matter of time until I hit that magic limit, as you apparently did a couple posts ago.
Yea, But im no where near a noob. I work for U.S.Cellular and Im not asking ?`s and giving what I know about things and helping people.
You have to post more than 10 replies, then you can reply to "Rom related posts".
let me check which is this post i am posting
same problem here
This is insanely annoying, I am sought of new to the forums but have been installing roms and tweaks to android.for years. I.read those forums and can contribute a lot of stuff but aren't able to post yet. there are not many non-developer forums that have many things worth posting about.

yep hopefully this works for me
I just find a general discussion, and add my 2c to it.
It adds up,
How about you all stop spamming and write something usefull...

Just write a PM to a mod, they will fix it.
can also bring with it a lot of spam so people hit the magic number......possibly like this post
The general situation is still acceptable since your case is rare.
$1 gets you a reply
I have the same problem ((
I also have the same problem, but I've read what the administrator of this forum said... "please do 10 posts to be able to post in other forums".
btw. this is post #9 for me, one more to go and I'm good to go.
Same here, only subscribed to thank the dev of the rom i'm using, but i can't thank his post untill i reach the number of 10 posts
I will post

I would like to be able to post to try to resolve some of my issues, but I'm also trying to answer questions in the meantime so.... whatever.
Well to add some sense to this:
I have the same problem, but I do have more then 10 posts.. This kinda bugs me since I'm pretty experienced and I have a question, which I can't post now..
EDIT
Allright for some reason now I can post. Ignore this post please, maybe I was a bit to impatient.

thanks techpick,
I have read this post by admins and understood the restriction.
But, wt I thought is, as a user of Zellycream ROM, I should be able to post by feedback, issues etc regardless of the number of post i posted in XDA. initially thot of sending a message to the developer bt reaslised it may spam his messagebox.
I understand that this rule is to stop noobs and unwanted flooding of dev threads...but there are many posts in different threads by noobs n inappropriate comments, just because they are morethan 10 posts old.
I felt somehow its unfair to stop the users to post their views about their experineces.
now i have to post some or the other threads just to be >10 posts member.

The 10 post rule may seem unfair but it is set up to protect the best parts of xda...the development forums. It is really important that you try to make your first 10 posts count and not post 10 useless posts of spam. Here are a couple of guides: 10 post guide:

What are some good ROMs for the Nexus 5?

I'm not looking for the "best", just for a decent list of roms that you may like that you think I will like. I'm looking for a rom that has a tablet UI feature because I like that. Nightlies are okay.

Would stay away from the Cm 11 roms personally, haven't seen anything too good about them and seen alot of bad compatibility issues. Purity is the best for stock + some nice features and optimizations, its rock solid. If you want to go Cm 11 I would go carbon or beanstalk. If someone can give me some good reasons to use cm 11 that would be useful as is I don't see a reason.

I know it is well written, but I so is Google's code. . For example why use CAF audio drivers when the current one are perfectly fine, doesn't that just create more incompatibility? I'm not a dev, just a flasher so I don't see any benefits of CM just negatives. I'm not saying there is not though but personally I don't see any as a user. I'm not trying to come of as mean I just do not know

Me Too
Hello, and welcome to the forum,
Before you click the "New Thread" or "Post Reply" buttons, please take the time to read some rules/guidelines for posting in this forum:
1) Read and follow the Forum Rules:
Plain and simple. No further explanation needed​
2) Post your message in the proper subforum (see above):
All questions, requests, and help & troubleshooting needs, go in the Q&A Help & Troubleshooting subforum, if one exists for your device, and any misplaced messages will be promptly moved to their respective location. Users that make it a habit of posting in the wrong forum will be addressed accordingly. If you're unsure of where your post or thread belongs, please read the Forum Rules again.​
3) No off-topic discussion:
While some Moderation Teams may allow some off-topic discussion and the creation of off-topic threads, we do not. There is an entire General Off-Topic forum devoted to this type of discussion and there are enough threads already available to meet anyone's off-topic needs. All off-topic threads, and posts containing off-topic discussion, will be deleted promptly and without warning. If you're concerned with the amount of off-topic discussion and misplaced questions in the Development forums, please consider making a Q&A Thread for your ROM/Kernel/Project/etc.​
4) No threads or posts asking for the best/most stable ROM/Kernel/Mod/whatever, or created for the purpose of comparing Phones/ROMs/Kernels/Mods/whatever:
These threads/posts will be deleted promptly and without warning. They have a history of causing problems due to trolls, and fanboys, along with various troublemakers, and therefore are no longer allowed. Regardless of that, there is really no way to judge whether or not a particular piece of work is better than another because it's all relative to begin with. If you want to know what piece of work is better for you, install something and try it out for a while. If you don't like it, try something else. Our Developers work hard to provide us their contributions, free of charge. Please show them the respect they deserve by trying something out and giving them your feedback.​
5) Don't ask for an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival):
Asking for an ETA is the XDA equivalent of telling a Developer that the free work they do just isn't enough for you. It usually comes across as rude and/or demanding, and most developers will take offense to it. Even if a particular Developer doesn't mind being asked for an ETA, there are many that do, and there's a good possibility that it will incite arguments in the forum. In the end, it's just best to avoid doing it altogether. If you have no other choice but to ask for an ETA (i.e. the work you're doing absolutely depends on it), then please, do it through a private message and keep it out of the public forums.​
6) Keep your signatures at a respectable size:
While members are given a great deal of freedom in creating personalized signatures, it is expected that this freedom is not abused. Abnormally large signatures are obnoxious to most users and they tend to be a major distraction from the topic at hand. If your signature is double the size of an average post or larger, expect be asked to change it. If you're not sure whether the size of your signature is within the respectable limits, feel free to contact a member of the Moderation Team that is assigned to this forum for clarification.​
7) Be nice:
It's not that hard. If you can't say something nice to someone, don't say anything at all. If you feel the need to respond negatively to someone, please refer to #8.​
8) Report all violations of the aforementioned rules/guidelines and DO NOT respond to them in the open forum:
If you happen to notice a rule violation, use the "Report Post" button in the upper right hand corner of the offending post, or send them a polite reminder through private message so they may resolve the problem on their own (for minor violations of course). Please do not respond to posts that are in violation of the rules in public. Regardless of the fact that it leaves more work for us to do when cleaning the forum, responding to them in public only compounds the issue and it puts you at risk of getting in trouble yourself. Moderators have much more effective ways of dealing with these situations than by arguing back and forth and disrupting the entire conversation, so please, let us handle it.​
If there are any questions or concerns regarding this or any other matter, please feel free to contact a member of the Moderation Team that is assigned to this forum. You can find a list of the assigned Moderators at the top of each sub-forum page.
With that, here are a few great threads to help you get the most out of your experience here...please take advantage of them:

Some subforums, mainly development ones, restrict posting to members with at least 10 posts. This is to cut down on spam and so new members can familiarize yourself with the forum rules and appropriate places to post, acronyms, jargon, etc. You are not, obviously, encouraged to spam to get to 10 posts. There are introduction threads, threads about what device everyone is using or wants, threads in the OT section where you can jabber about just about anything, etc. There are also "noob friendly ask-any-question" threads pinned in several sub sections where you can ask a specific question that you can't yet ask in development threads.
Welcome to XDA.

hello, we know it well but alas any rom for our model (except the lineaos) of telephone comes out on telegram and not on xda as usual so how should we do when someone asks if such or such rom and output for the p7p? .we are here on a sharing forum so we have no choice but to share the information.
xda should ask the devs why they don't want to post their rom here anymore.

There is a reason XDA is basically forgotten among the mod community and this arrogant attitude only further supports why all of us now use Telegram.
The redesign of XDA was poorly implemented and to this day the XDA app is almost useless.
However, the real issue is forum moderators like this who seem to be on a power trip and oversee the forums with an iron fist. No one needs this and it only further pushes users away from what used to be a bastion for the modding community as a whole.
I'm very happy with the Telegram community. There are multiple roms already out for Cheetah and Panther with more being worked on as we speak. In fact, most developers migrated to Telegram a long time ago because of nonsense like this. Everyone is helpful and friendly without any arrogance or admins with power trips. The app works perfectly and it's much more user friendly. I suggest that anyone who is interested in the modding community to go to Telegram and drop XDA.

Why do you want to not make public the issues some XDA users have with how these boards are administered? Actually, I think I do know why and it only further supports what I said above and why user sentiment is where it currently is with XDA.

I think you´re wrong in this instance. And completely misunderstood the XDA environment.
If a ROM is posted on XDA, it is somehow related to its relevant forum and the people populating the forum.
If posted on Telegram or Baidu, or any other channel for that matter, it is not relevant to this group.

What kind of logic is this?
The point of the forums is for users to share information with each other regarding the device the forum is dedicated to. Just because devs don't want to post their work on XDA, no matter the reason, doesn't mean their work is not relevant to the discussion.

I prefer how XDA moderates the forums, nearly everywhere else they devolve into random, completely off topic garbage thats its impossible to find solutions and good info. Most groups on Telegram need to be shifted through hundreds of meaningless commentary to find the info needed.
Moderator Announcement ​
Greetings to all. Just thought I'd drop in to share what XDA is and isn't with regardss to TG links and discussion on XDA since this thread has apparently gone off the rails. But first, the rules that we are all required to follow which are stickied at the top of virtually every forum on XDA:
TG Chat Channel Rules:
Spoiler: TG Chat Rules
WhatsApp/Telegram Groups and Channels - Going Forward​
Hello XDA family! Just notifying all members that posting certain links to Telegram and other sites like WhatsApp is now allowed on XDA.
What does that mean?
We will allow links to messages on Telegram and/or other platforms anywhere, as long as they provide content for a discussion, question, or is pertinent news. This is exactly like the guidelines for YouTube links.
What about download links?
Download links from hosts, platforms or other sources are allowed as long as they do not require registration. Some Telegram links require registration for downloads, so they will not be allowed. Please check them before posting.
What is NOT changing?
Only one link to a Telegram support group is allowed in the first post of a development thread on the condition that main support is still provided on XDA. This means you can mention Telegram group: https://t.me/abc in the first post as long as you're providing thorough support in your XDA thread.
What is NOT allowed?
Posts like For support, join my Telegram group: https://t.me/abc. This means you're not willing to provide support to users on XDA.
Drop-and-run posts/threads are still not allowed under the self-promotion rule. So posts/threads like "Come to my channel for xyz" or "Watch my video and like my channel" are still not allowed. Such links will be removed and the member will be contacted regarding XDA Forum Rule #5 for self-promotion (under bullet point #6):
Self-promotion is forbidden, this includes blogs, social media and video channels etc. Random links will be removed.

We thank all members for their cooperation in this matter, and wish you a pleasant stay on XDA.
Regards,
Your XDA Moderating Team
While I realize that many members like TG for it's real time capability, simply posting TG links that "require" XDA users to register for TG is not acceptable.
If you wish to post DL links to TG that do not require registration, then that is fine. All we're asking is for members to keep as much discussion as possible on XDA since that is why most of us are here for in the first place.
We also realize that TG may in fact be the future of android development since there are virtually no rules to govern such discussions, which of course appeals to many. Having said that,
consider this, would you have even known about those groups in the first place if someone didn't share it first on XDA?
I also understand that many members do not enjoy what some may interpret certain Moderator actions as "Power tripping" or "Iron Fisted." This is often a misunderstanding as to what the Mods on XDA are tasked with doing in the first place, which is simply to make sure that the rules are followed, and that's it. Are we going to make mistakes? Absolutly we will, as will members that wish to dispute our actions, which is why we we prefer to take such disagreements to PM's in order to prevent threads from going OT as this one did. Which is why respect, cooperation, and understanding is a two way street with regards to all the rules on XDA.
Going forward, all we're asking is for members to respect and follow the Forum Rules whether you agree with them or not as I must do as well. If anyone wishes to discuss
the rules with me, or any Moderator actions in a polite and civil manner, them my PM inbox is always open. In the mean time, please let us return to "On topic" discussion of this thread,
and hope everyone has a great day.
Best regards: Badger50
I know I'm slightly late and that my esteemed teammate @Badger50 already cleaned this thread but I assessed that all the posts with a content like "PM me the Telegram link" are off-topic in a thread that intends to share information about ROM availability. I've removed such posts.

Why do you want to not make public the issues some XDA users have with how these boards are administered? Actually, I think I do know why and it only further supports what I said above and why user sentiment is where it currently is with XDA.

Although @Starzboy77 propagates that all "interested in the modding community" to leave XDA behind, I see that he's still available on XDA and didn't go ahead as a good example. I can only speculate about the reasons. @Starzboy77 here's the link to conformably obliterate all your traces on XDA:

On the other hand, if you decide to stay (something I'd really appreciate) I must ask you to review the XDA Forum Rules prior to your next posting and to determine if you really want to continue to post off-topic e.g. in this threads. If you like to rant or complain about the XDA Forums here is a complete forum, in which you certainly either find an already suitable thread or that allows you to post your own one:

Anything to do more with the site than with the phones. Feature requests, announcements, praise, moaning, etc. :)

Alternatively, as you seem to be very unhappy "with how these boards are administered" I invite you to initiate the in your views required changes from inside of the XDA staff and to apply as a forum moderator when you've reached the required 500 forum posts but I know this would mean you can't drop XDA:

On a somewhat related note, I wanted to inform everyone here who cares about root and passing safetynet that you cannot choose Graphene OS, or else you will always be failing hardware attestation even with safetynet-fix and magiskhideprops. Also, LSPosed will not work on Graphene OS, no matter what. I personally found CalyxOS to be almost suitable, but not quite, for the sole reason that I could not log into Pokémon GO with my Google account, which is a necessity for me. I've been happily on the unofficial LineageOS with MindTheGapps and have had zero issues for my personal needs (spoofing pogo location, and normal root stuff).

Moderator Announcement ​
Greetings to all. Just thought I'd drop in to share what XDA is and isn't with regardss to TG links and discussion on XDA since this thread has apparently gone off the rails. But first, the rules that we are all required to follow which are stickied at the top of virtually every forum on XDA:
TG Chat Channel Rules:
Spoiler: TG Chat Rules
WhatsApp/Telegram Groups and Channels - Going Forward​
Hello XDA family! Just notifying all members that posting certain links to Telegram and other sites like WhatsApp is now allowed on XDA.
What does that mean?
We will allow links to messages on Telegram and/or other platforms anywhere, as long as they provide content for a discussion, question, or is pertinent news. This is exactly like the guidelines for YouTube links.
What about download links?
Download links from hosts, platforms or other sources are allowed as long as they do not require registration. Some Telegram links require registration for downloads, so they will not be allowed. Please check them before posting.
What is NOT changing?
Only one link to a Telegram support group is allowed in the first post of a development thread on the condition that main support is still provided on XDA. This means you can mention Telegram group: https://t.me/abc in the first post as long as you're providing thorough support in your XDA thread.
What is NOT allowed?
Posts like For support, join my Telegram group: https://t.me/abc. This means you're not willing to provide support to users on XDA.
Drop-and-run posts/threads are still not allowed under the self-promotion rule. So posts/threads like "Come to my channel for xyz" or "Watch my video and like my channel" are still not allowed. Such links will be removed and the member will be contacted regarding XDA Forum Rule #5 for self-promotion (under bullet point #6):
We thank all members for their cooperation in this matter, and wish you a pleasant stay on XDA.
Regards,
Your XDA Moderating Team

I agree with everything said here. as a Dev of going on a decade. i hate telegram. but it seemed like its where everyone went and then i just forget about XDA . I think telegram is a sespool. XDA has legitemcy to it as well. its not the mods its the users that pushed away a lot of devs. they don't read anything we go through the trouble of writing up like changelogs or directions or how to take a log or they argue with us about something they know nothing about and it gets really frustrating and we get less motivated to come back and deal with that bs. thats why. so its U GUYS not the mods. if there were no mods this forum would be full of porn and neo nazi memes ... get real people.. on that note. god damnit who leaked my spark build . oh well , cats out of the bag now.. i'll make a post in a bit....
