Important stuff. - Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Today i saw that the forum of J5 is created. That SHOCKED I was surprised because i didn't believe that.
To all of you - Developers and users of J5 i wanna say..
Thanks.
Without you our phone mostly would be boring, because of no XDA Support.
I know, J5 is using more and more people everyday.
And i know that in J5 XDA community i am a small piece of puzzle.
So thank youdevelopers for making this phone alive and be usable.
P.S. This thread mostly like will not be seen for our developers, so mods can delete this post easily.

We need to wake up. Let's make xda better.

So, guys. We need to wake up. We need to stop asking for estimated time of arrive. We need to respect all the developers. Please read every posts before you posting. Please search before posting. We've lost many awesome developers. It's all because of you you guys keep asking for ETA and never search before posting question. When developers feel tired, then he just decide to leave XDA. XDA is a big family. Only respect between each other can help to maintain the peace. Every developers & members deserved to be respected.
Regarding the CM9 thread, guys. Stop asking about the ETA and 'IS CAMERA WORKING?'! We could lost the only unofficial CM9 development for Galaxy Ace because of that.
Regarding the AOKP thread, guys. Be nice to the developer. Although they made some mistakes. But we have to respect them too. They're human being, not GOD. They working on AOKP based on the CM9. The only AOKP development for Ace currently.
Furthermore, I want to apology to moderators and every members for my behavior. I know I made a mistake. I shouldn't post all those things. Once again, a truly apology to every members and moderators. Sorry.
Some of us made some threads like these last time .
Did they listen to us ? No . The noobishness got worse .
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
Excellent post sir. Your posts re moderator were very nasty and to be honest I'm a little surprised that he's allowed you to stay on xda. Your apology does however appear to be genuine and heart-felt. Regarding the noobs it's important that we guide, advise and assist them, not shout, swear and otherwise abuse what will, eventually, be the devs of the future. I trust that senior members will take the lead in this and stop moaning about noobs xda is not meant to be a closed shop and all new members should be made welcome.

The thing is that this is a DEVELOPER forum . I've seen such a thread where the noobs were trying to fight back discrimination , but were bashed down by the senior mods again .

That, leaves me to think what I'm doing here...
We're all here to learn and share experiences from one another . Not to ask and whine about ETAs

As EmoBoiix3 said, this has been done. Imo people should stop trying to be a revolutionist and just do their part instead of telling others what to do. The only people who will take this to their hearts are those who have a bit decency, and those people are most likely not the "noobs" aka spammers. This kind of stuff are soon to be classified as spam.
It's not that hard to differentiate between genuine noobs (count the posts) and the habitual spammers. Report the spammers to moderator - I'm sure most would agree that so far he has been very fair and quite pro-active in handing out warnings by PM, giving general warnings on thread and being very willing to engage with members. It's his ot their job to police the site and ours to help keep it as clean as possible without totally stiflling comment and input. Also there is one section for Devs this section is everybody's.
Developers have no purpose without anyone to use their Mods and Roms etc.
great post, even great idea, but lets face it, noobs are gonna ignore this

Get it straight it is not the NOOBS who are the problem. It's the attitude of the rest of us towards them. We should show equal understanding and respect to Devs and Noobs alike !!!
Sometimes they do get pretty annoying lol

Of course people are lazy. Three or more of the problems surrounding this thread have been posted about several times I note. Maybe the "search this thread" button needs more prominence and easier to use. Maybe repeat questioners should always be directed to search button? It's our xda can't we work to improve it rather than despairing?

Yep. I made a lot for Samsung Star (not android phone) without any code on my hand 2 years ago. I developed for LG OP, HTC on tiad and did a few things for galaxy 5. As it was in other forums my posts for some of you make me a noob right?
That's why I disagree on calling someone noob just because of the number of posts... And also treating noobs in a bad way because they make the same mistake all of us have made: not searching.
We should just provide a kind answer and invite them to use the searchbar instead of kicking them out.

Developers, Developers, Developers...!

I see many people carrying SGSIII's, but I see a large amount of users owning the great SGA. The SGA was at some point the 4th most popular Android phone, here is an article that backs me up scientifically: http://opensignalmaps.com/reports/fragmentation.php
So why does this phone receive so little love from XDA Devs or other places like CM?
I wish I had the will power to learn to become a developer, but it is just not in me, I am just a noob who loves to live on the edge by risking to brick his SGA everyday while flashing new ROMs.
I wish for this thread to be received with the same good intentions I meant it to be for.
Being a developer is hard and time-consumptive activity.
You need to know Java, C, C++, xml, bash, elements of smali.
Plus have ability to read logcats and patience to solve all of the errors. This section has many great developers and hundreds of ROMS. You should feel lucky
You can become developer too. Just practice
xda-developers.com is a forum recognized worldwide. I appreciate the fine work that is presented daily in all XDA sections. Thank you developers, moderators.

2 Oneplus One invites to share!

Been a member here for a bit and spent a lot of time in the Captivate and SII forums but most was spent here in the Note section so I want to share with you guys. There is a lot of new development for this device from some great Devs (including NunHugger if you remember him and also PTMR3 from Padawan/Jedi and so....If you can purchase now and would like an invite PM me and prove you're not a bot and it's yours. I've had the device since mid-July and it's a great phone. Works very well on AT&T. You have 24hrs after you claim the invite to actually purchase. I only have 48hrs left to share them.
Here's a link to the phone site if you're not familiar. Outstanding specs for a bargain price! http://oneplus.net/one
Here's some SS to show my experience with Oneplus...http://s390.photobucket.com/user/bluepearl300/library/COMPUSA-HP/Pictures/Screenshots

Just sayin if you're on the fence.
Soliciting your wares or any product for sale or your benefit is not allowed here. I find it hard to believe that Nun or Petmr would support the name dropping. If they did recommend, I am sure they would post that recommendation themselves as they are both upstanding members of this community.
If you are selling a device, may I suggest posting it on Swappa. That's what it's there for right?

You can't be serious... I am trying to SHARE not sell the invites with what I would've considered friends. Are you familiar with the Oneplus? There's an entire sub-forum here on XDA. With several invite threads but I chose to try and share here with some folks that I have enjoyed connecting with these last couple years. Apparently you don't quite understand that I don't benefit from sharing an invite. And as for name dropping...I merely mention the FACT that devs that we Note owners are familiar with have some development for this device. I never mentioned any recommendations of any kind. It's an act of consideration on my part and you feel some self justified need to step into my thread and make it look like something sinister? Thank you. But I'm afraid you are wrong in this instance and I find your accusation a bit unfair and quite unlike the more friendly group I had come to know our Note forum to be. The One plus is a great device and is similar in many ways that a Note user would appreciate. I felt this would be a great place to share an otherwise not-so-easy-to-get opportunity to get this device.... Here's a SS to show why I am excited to share with you guys/gals.

To moderators
First of all I am sorry for creating this thread here which should be in general section. But as most of the people visit development section so I just want that people should notice this thread and give their valuable opinion. When time will come I will request to move this thread to general section
To all xda mi3/mi4 users
My name is Vishal. I am using mi3 since almost 1 year. After sources released by xiaomi the development of custom roms and kernels was really superb. Even still our developers like audihaudi, bitti and many others working really hard to give bugless roms to us. But after recently developer like varun.chitre, jackeagle and gnome left the development. Look like we need a very expert helping hand to deal with very core problems/bugs that we are facing right now and to support our device's development for a long time with best updates. We all agree that camera quality of mi3 on custom roms is below average. Also bugs like SOD after call, no sim bug are very annoying issue that we are dealing right now.
So I contacted a developer dhiru1602[/] who has a very good experience with kernel as well cm rom development especially with CM sources and CM based rom. Also he is official maintainer and developer of nameless rom for many devices which are
Samsung galaxy s3
Samsung galaxy note 2
Nexus 4
Galaxy SL i9003
Optimus L9
Optimus P760
Optimus P765
Optimus P768
Optimus P769
Dhiru1602 developer's profile
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2875964
And his work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=379647111
Only problem is that he don't have mi3 or mi4 device. Without device fixing critical bugs in device tree and keep on providing bugless updates is a critical task for any developer. So if we donate enough amount to him so that he can buy a mi3 or mi4 phone then that will going to be a big advantage for developement of our phone.
So I want to know how many people are really willing to donate surely so that we can donate a phone to him?? It will help me to judge the response and to initiate the things later.
Thank You,
Vishal

So as an RC you decide when to move, those unauthorized Threads, just overlooking the Forum Rules on sooo many levels.....
But you already knew this, hence you apology. Well moved out of the Development Section and Noted!

Custom ROMs for A-2016 series

Hi. As you can see, ROM developers here don`t really pay attention to making any custom ROMs for our beloved A310, A510 and A710-s. So i have made a request on Cyanogenmod Forums for any developers there to see and work on the project! It`d be nice if you showed yourselves there too so the developers don`t think A-2016 series phones aren`t mainstream and aren`t worth working on. Here is the request thread link, so go there, reply or something, just show yourselves!
https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/129136-request-cyanogenmod-for-galaxy-a3a5a7-2016-sm-a310510710/
Maybe that old fight regarding Exynos processors is the main problem here. IDK for sure. Check it out here, XDA team made a post about this "betrayal" between Samsung and the developers.
Regardless, I'm still looking forward into that CM13 thread on the original development forums. However, the OP is not answering the PMs or the thread, so it's kinda useless by now.
Can't we make a Custom from ourselves maybe work with a good developer here on XDA and use our devices for testing
