So its finally come to this. Im not sure if some of you are just plain new. Or you think rules dont apply to you. But there are rules. And incase you didnt read them maybe you should take the time. Because this i want and i need and when is this so on and so forth. Is chasing away good devs. I hope you all enjoy you phone with such little developement. If your wonder why it takes so long. Now you know.
 
I am self admittedly an end user who does nothing but reap the rewards from all of the devs had work. I know I do not thank the devs as much as I should and for that I am sorry. So, at this time I would like to thank all the devs, testers and everyone else who actually does contribute useful tools, hacks, info and ideas to this forum. Great work this far. I appreciate it. To all the people like myself who do not contribute anything useful like help ideas, testing, feedback, etc, sit back, shut up and enjoy the gifts that are given. We are now just scratching the surface of what can be done with this phone. Give the devs time to do what they do. Lets not chase them off with all the gimme gimme gimme.
 
I am on a bit on the impatient side (I just don't show it), so I decided to take a crack on learning how to make them myself in the mean time :D

Other than that, I have no problem waiting for it to come
 
I understand gratitude but... if the only reason you are doing something is to get an a$$pat then i don't want your help from the start. in my opinion that's worse then being ungrateful. But with that said i am grateful for OCR for warp thank you. And to be honest yeah people have been asking about CWM and CM7 but that's because they are exited about it at least you know they care and are greatly anticipating it maybe they thought asking and showing interest was a way of showing gratitude. just saying don't get buthurt because your not getting enough a$$pats.
 
No no, it's not that. The android market is exploding and I needed something new to do. Something entirely new that I havn't faced before. I got into rom development because I thought it would be fun.. and it is so far minus the errors. I'm glad to be a learning dev for making/porting

so basically it was a result of boredom I guess
 
All we ask is the same respect and civility is shown to all members, whether the most experienced developer or the greenest new user. This doesn't mean blind agreement is expected. On the contrary, disagreement and 'differences of opinion' are to be welcomed as that's what drives development. Just do it within the Site Rules, please.

Also, please remember that devs do what they do for free. Most of them have real-life stuff like family and jobs to deal with too, just like the rest of us.

I came here thinking I was going to get a free Britney Spears song. boo

You, sir, need help. No sane person wants a B*****y S****s song, free or otherwise! :eek::D
 
I would like to personally apologize to the community as I feel like I have been one to contribute to this whole mess with 3 threads I created:

- http://androidforums.com/warp-all-things-root/486200-most-requested-rom.html
- http://androidforums.com/warp-all-things-root/491469-cwm-out-now-what.html
- http://androidforums.com/warp-all-things-root/456180-roms.html (though this was asking what would work as I had no idea about custom recovery at the time iirc)

To me, maintaining a good reputation on a forum is what I care about most as I don't like to cause problems. I have edited the first link to state what my intentions were but I will place it here:


edit: I'm sorry for making this thread/poll.. I now realize that this does more harm than good. The intentions that was behind this was to help developers figure out their number one part in porting a rom- which rom should I choose. But now seeing the recent activity, I think of it more as of what a fellow member (Can't think of the user off the top of my head) has stated: "What roms do we demand first?"
 
Snake, you are forgiven with your honest desire to learn, you have sent me like 4 pms for information regarding building cm7 or cwm from source, and I respect your desire to learn, which is why I posted information in my cwm thread for you. Hopefully that information leads to more devs and more roms, which is what we all want here, right?
 
We can only hope for the best. I doubt that its permanent. I just think that the growth has been stunted. All we can do is keep our hopes high, and be patient. I know thats the killer. But we are in the fringe of alot of options. Just remember...These are people with fulltime jobs, busy familys,and have other things going on that are required to survive. And they port our roms, create kernals and scripts etc. All for the fun of it in their spare time. And they were willing to share their hardwork for the greater good. Might i and usually FREE.
 
heh.. if I do somehow manage to becvome a dev, i have about a 0% life :p and dedicate my time (as im doing now) to developing and the only full time job ill have is school xD
 
i would like to apologize if i came off as an a-hole i just got tired of people just hinting and creating treads on roms so i decided to be the scapegoat and simply ask

i just wanted other users to stop creating those type of threads
i consider my self to be a contributing member to our efforts to test cwm and i was an active tester and will continue to support the scene

again i apologize if i offended anyone especially Quitestorm, he is a great Dev and i know i speak for every warp owner when i say, thank you for all your hard work, we really appreciate it.

i can patiently wait

also, was tinkering with a 9v rom just that my laptop kept on crashing so i
gave up
