You may or may not have seen the announcement made on the Portal a day or so ago. If you have, great, then you know what this is about.
In case you have not, xda management decided that we would try to reorganize the moderation team to be able to tackle the changing environment in our site. As such, we have divided the entire moderation team into sub teams, each one in charge of a specific section. Each section is divided by manufacturer and type of device and world allocation (US/Canada and International).
Each team is composed by a number of forum moderators with varying levels of experience in different areas and has a team leader (normally a Senior Moderator, or in my case, an admin). My team will focus primarily on HTC devices in the US for CDMA carriers (Sprint, Verizon, and other smaller carriers). Without further ado, your new moderator team is composed of:
pstevep

Papa Smurf151
sgt. slaughter
TonyStark
wardfan220

with the team leader being yours truly .

Hello,
Since I'm new here, I don't yet know the OP for supporting the devs working to root phones, so I'd like to know what the senior members recommend.
I understand when someone finds a way to root, it's recommended that we reward them through their PayPal button, but is there anything we can do during the lead-up to that? Donations? Resources?
I want to support in any way I can, is all.
Thanks,
Andreas

For future reference try not to post in the development section. Put your questions in Q&A section.
And don't think that throwing money at the developers is going to speed the process. The best devs on this site do it for fun rather than money.

10-4. Sorry about it.
I thought that since my question was specifically related to this section, and those my question was directed to frequented this forum more than, say, the Q&A forum, this would be a good place for it.
But if this forum is only for discussion specifically relating to the technical specifications of the phone, my apologies.
It is, for development I mean. Feel free to donate to xda, seems to keep the site working.

UPDATE: IF YOU HAVE AN EVO 3D, AND YOU ARE AN XDA MEMBER WONDERING WHERE ALL THE INFORMATION FOR THE FR3EVO ROOTING PROCESS IS,.....
well,
.
.
.its all over in the HTC Sensation forum,
because one of the moderators here developed a God complex.
(F#Ck THAT...)
TO ALL THE MODERATORS, BUT REALLY TO THE ONE(S) IT PERTAINS TO:
I don't care how big your Android/Linux/C++/Java/thanksmeter/Postcount di*k is, or that you have been knighted a moderator.
The most important part of Xda are the FORUMS. That where we are now, in a FORUM...(Look it up, Copypasta the definition, or build a theme around it if that's your specialty), but please don't tell an entire thread to silence itself again. It's frustrating, it's a bit humiliating, and now it's publicly embarrassing. Please don't allow this kind of abuse of power to happen again. See what can happen? Now the party has started, and the limo made the first trip without us.... So now we have to stand in line behind the folks in the Sensation Forum, and of course behind therootofallEvo site as well.
I'm a bit frustrated, and ranting, so I'll quit now.
I don't know a whole lot about Everything.
And to be sure, I definitely have lot to learn
But I know one thing:
@agraben was completely justified in taking the teamwin ball and going elsewhere first after his treatment on the forum at XDA.
I'll bet he laughed himself to sleep tonight.
Ban me, Shman me....It's whatevs now.
This needed to be said.

Please take away his mod rights and give them to someone that actually has a functioning brain.
So am I the only one that thinks his is doing a good job? He locked if because it isn't development. He ask the op to msg him as soon as it was ready to became a development thread. Every day 10 people starts new threads in development section, that don't belong there. He has finally started to do something about it, and all the n00bs whine...

that is fing pathetic that we'd have to do that thanks to a mod, i used to be a longtime highly respected supermod on the largest honda civic site (strictly civic) before moving away from that scene, never once had i treated any of my peers which such child like behavior, especially in a manor to actually have pushed a person we greatly need in our section away to somewhere else to share the knowledge we need here, for god sake we need teamwin in this section, and we need the mod's to be able to recognize when he's over stepping his boundries, maybe he's new at this, but that is no excuse to push member's away that we need.

i think he does a good job ridding the stupid posts and questions, but he's gotten overzealous as of late. i hate reading reading 20 pages of "downloading now!!!" or "woohooo!!!'s" but that's just the nature of people wanting to express their excitement.
but to lock a dev thread and keep the dev out until the mod is available to unlock it is going too far. where was stericson at 1:25 AM today when agrabren made an update in the sensation thread?
While I don't agree on everything that was done, the dev forum was a mess. Everyone was crying for mods to intervene and when it happens everyone complains. You never start a coming soon thread on xda. You only start one when you material is ready.
Sent from 3D land
I think stericson was more than fair. Every other post was a question that had been asked AT LEAST 5 time in the last couple dozen pages. Most of the remaining posts were back-slapping, high-fiving, HTC-hating, BS-ing miscellaneous ramblings. Finding real information from real DEVELOPERS was frustrating and time consuming.
Stericson warned people nicely to calm down and stop posting non-development stuff, but it only helped briefly. Sub-forums exist for a reason and those kinds of posts don't belong in development. The dude was doing what he was supposed to.
And popping back and forth between a couple of forums is no big deal. Hell, I usually have 3 or 4 open at any given time anyway. Don't we all? I think folks are over reacting to this and we should just get back to playing with our new toys.
He was out of line period. To lock a thread until they pm him is quite frankly bull ****.
It's a wonder why devs are creating teams and some moving on.
One thing, where is he now? He can ban and rant to all the dev threads but don't say anything the past day+. I hope he did get booted. Now the 3D owners need to go to the sensation threads. It's a crock and makes me think a lot of xda right now.
Where are the admins explaining the actions? Don't know man, its getting way way too out of hand. If the op asked to close its one thing but to close it with no other authority but your own is just plain bs.
Come back teamwin. We got your back and will assist all the way.
Sent from my 3VO..
I think he had great intentions and started off moderating the mess very well, but when it came to locking the threads I think he went a bit too far.
I dunno if thats what caused the stuff to get posted elsewhere instead but if it is, its very sad it came to that.
Also dont think it was right to kick the Sensation guys out b/c they were actually helping us when they came and were describing what worked and didn't for them.
Ya, a lot of the devs in the Samsung Vibrant forums had moved on at one point. I believe 2 or 3 of them, for a multitude of reasons. Seems like we're gonna have the same situation here :\

Do the roms that are built for the N7000 work for the SAMSUNG-SGH-I717?? I only ask because...
1.) The I7I7 has only one ROM available and its not ICS where as the N7000 has several ROMs available.
2.) I know its possible because I run Desire HD roms on my HTC Inspire.
Thanks for all the help guys.

Apples and oranges. The Desire HD and Inspire 4G are basically the same phone. The hardware is the same except for some minor differences with the sound hardware. The international Note and ATT Note are completely different phones. The only thing they have in common is the size, screen, pen and they have similar cases. That's it. Everything else is different.

Absolutely questionable response and uncalled for...even suggesting that isnt humorous and maybe you should be concerned as to what people will perceive about you. Im just about sick and tired of all the rudeness and blatant self rightgeousness on these forums, members need to show some self-respect by not being rude. This forum has some NEW RULES as the base subscriber is no longer DEVELOPMENT ONLY the majority of us are not developers...they have their own section for each device to which noobs are restricted and should be, so giving people and noobs a hard time for something posted in the GENERAL and Q&A sections is ridiculous, so maybe show a little restraint if you choose not to help and just move on without posting anything!
Listen, I know a lot of noobs and others make mistakes and dont follow the rules but why jump on them outside of the DEV's threads? If you do as a senior or junior member then you also are breaking the rules!

Your AIO Root Kit has saved me such time and headaches. A truly useful program! You are awesome!
2. NRGz28:

Awesome idea! Thanks @ PeartFan40 for this!
Lets see- first, thanks to the many people who act as contributors, giving answers rather than say "search!" - even when it has been given 20million times. Everyone who does this makes it MUCH easier to find threads that have an answer RATHER than 20million threads that say SEARCH. You have no idea how much time you save, and the patience/understanding you show by doing it is what makes this community awesome!
More officially-
Some other Devs/others who have been infinitely helpful whether they know it or not(some not even members of this forum):
mudhi - for taking the time to give some truly helpful advice, helping not only the devices you use, but those working on others.
j4n87 - for being willing to give helpful advice to catch someone up who isn't quite at the point you are, and the patience required.
bassini - for releasing a mod that fully works when all that was asked was a little assistance! Was pretty damn cool.
EclipzeRemix - for being cool, giving me someone to bounce ideas off of, and contributing in the many ways you do.
mike1986. - for putting the time and work into so many devices, then allowing me and others to use that work without compensation! Guys like you are what make android awesome!
gjcamp - for being patient with noobs and making contributions that are purely helpful
Opentang - for being an awesome contributor whose help and legwork is purely awesome
sportsstar89 - for sticking around when so many left, for getting things done that so many have quit on, being helpful and more.
Glacierguy - For sticking around and staying positive even though there are reasons not to, being helpful, sharing and I'm sure more.
mznatnat - for giving feedback that is truly helpful and being a positive voice in a community that has so many that don't care, don't appreciate - for being awesome.
Xboarder56 - Although I don't agree with many of his actions, he did make many solid contributions when others simply weren't, many things are possible for our phone that wouldn't be without him.. if he were a little more patient, less easily offended, and more willing to set aside differences to work with others I think he would be an even greater dev. But he still deserves thanks, whether he sees it, appreciates it, or not.
Football - come on, you know you made our devices so much more awesome, wish I knew how you do it, but hell yea bro.
I'm sure there are more people than I can thank - all of the members who stick around, make some effort to help each other or contribute, stay positive, or share their experiences with others - you are what make open source what it is, and help keep the noobs in check!

I agree with the search first approach..XDA os not a help site, so I believe in the concept of helping yourself before asking for it.
Also, please try to keep your thanks brief. To keep things tidy, Id like to avoid lengthy posts. Please try to keep your posts brief. Thanks everyone.
PS: Feel free to thank your hard working Moderator, who listens to his community.

I love all developers.... yep... all of them.... ones that do little coding.... to the super complex stuff....... if it wasn't for you.... MY hobby wouldn't exist... (which is modding phones).... I don't know about the rest of XDA but I know that coding / scripting / testing takes some time..... so pressuring a developer will only lead to crappy job on the project.....
I appreciate every single one of you guys..... I was one of the people that pushed for this thread..... after my thread got moved then shut down....
I am sure everyone feels grateful like I do....
Developers are awesome, and without them XDA wouldn't exist.
But without mods, developers would get lost in a sea of countless useless threads....
Developers and Mods rely on each other sometimes..... its the circle of life...... on XDA... Hakuna Matata!
XDA brass has decided to terminate Mr. Mars as a moderator. I truly believe he added professionalism and great knowledge to our threads. Thank you Mr. Mars for you numerous hours of volunteered time to our community! You will be missed!

Agree. Long live mod mike! He is and always will be awesome!
This is a sad day, just ridiculous, and sad. Great xda, clap clap clap
Truly a great mod. Always helpful and full of resources.

He will be missed as a moderator, but he is still around
I agree with all of you.. He made my life easier.. maybe the xda brass will reconsider if we all continue to let them know how valuable he was to us!

Very sad day in the history of XDA... Gibbs me dats...I'm gonna C out.. Although he didn't get paid for being a Mod, he worked here like he did... He was always, a delight to read and talk to... He made all of our threads better by keeping it light but informative, with his own unique and colorful play on words.. He made XDA a better place for all, with his good natured but extensive knowledge.
I really thought he would be around to help the next gen of Devs and members.. I know he will be back better than ever... Jay C

Agree with everything above, dude is on point and is always here to help and guide people... Curious as to the who, what, when, where and why though... I have to say the forums that I am part of, this phone forum definitely has more drama then I have ever seen... It's too bad to, what these devs and other people bring to not just our devices is amazing, yet petty bickering gets blown up and leads to craziness...

Why was he demoted? There must've been a logical reason for such a decision. I'm an Admin at a car forum and such a decision is only made for a compelling and reasonable reason.

Is XDA a transparent outfit? Do they explain their decisions to the community? Does freedom of speech, transparency, democracy... are these things XDA champion? I would imagine all of what I mentioned helps the dev community flourish no? Is XDA a strong dictatorship where we can't question them? Can we as members have a clear explanation why he is gone? Strong regimes discourages creativity.
Freedom of speech or nothing. Liberty or death. Born free, hope to die free.
*edit* Once again, I'm taking a screen shot of this comment in case for whatever reason it somehow disappears... Suppressing speech is something dictatorships do.
I see that Micmars is still posting so I am glad about that. He has helped me and countless others, so hopefully by not having administrator tasks, he will be more free to provide his valuable assistance to all of us.

Let's talk about some of these comments for a second...first off XDA is not a public company with stock holders to answer to and disclosure regarding staff. If Micmars wants to let you know what happened that is up to him. XDA is NOT transparent with regards to staff actions...we respect each members privacy and do not discuss any actions regarding a member whether a moderator, RC, RD, or members. This is a private site with membership and a set of rules. There should be no illusion of free speech here....there are rules to follow and some of those do indeed restrict what you might consider "free speech." Again...private site, forum rules, not a democracy. You do have a right to respectfully question actions...we would really prefer it to be in private rather than disrupt threads...but no one censors respectful questions. Staff interactions and disciplinary actions have little affect on the development community and are always done to better development as this is a development site created by developers for developers. Everything we do are in the best interests of developers and development as best we can.

There is no doubt Micmars is an awesome contributor...otherwise he would not have made Recognized Contributor on the exact day he was eligible, nor make it into the moderator staff in record time. We all hope the best for him and REALLY hope he continues to do what he loves and help members. This is his true calling as he is one of the most helpful members any of us have seen. As stated we will not discuss the demotion, that is to protect Micmars privacy the same as we do not say "XXX123 got an infraction for warez." I will say that all moderators have people to answer to. We have very strict guidelines we follow and a very high level of trust. There is no "blue wall"...moderators do not have "free reign" to do as they like. We are all in teams of 8-12 members and like a Japanese mind set, we do not allow any member to bring dishonor to the rest...not to say that happened, Micmars knows and accepts responsibility like a true stand-up member for what happened. We wish him well and look forward to see him plugging away helping members any way he can!
