Here's something to make order in forums - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi everyone!
Some of you may know my virtual identity because I try to answer a lot of questions that people have in this forum. Anyways I moved on to the sensation (I know it's older but development is amazing) because my screen was terrible even after replacements and even though our development is starting to pick up (thanks to our amazing devs here) the phone itself has caused me to move on.
Back to the point, in the sensation forum, they have this sticky that I think helps tremendously with keeping order, preventing flaming, etc. the link is below and I think it would help if something like that was put here as well.

Farewell and thanks to community, Allgamer, raverx3x,m&s, Eugene, racing1399, whitehawx, tdj, and others I'm missing out!

Can we do this? The flaming is more than a handful of usual suspects.

I like this.
To many kids on xda it reminds of being in high-school, and I don't like it.

Unfortunately this probably won't happen. But I couldn't agree more, this would be a step in the right direction.

I would be beyond happy if this was implemented and worked in our forums. Thanks for posting this. Give me a little bit of hope.

I wish this was implemented
As well as a ban on anymore bounty threads

Bounty threads brought us raver, who is working on aosp ics, and is damn close. Bounty threads can go either way. Can't forget about Eugene either, he's done some great things for us.

Delete this thread- was just trying to help devs

Saw a couple people posting in the reward for ICS thread saying they'd donate for CM7. Figure I'd
start one specifically for that. I'll put in 20. Anybody else? The devs absolutely deserve it

What's the motive of this thread? To get CM7 faster? Its already being worked on by the CM team.

Valid point. Yeah, I'd say for some motivation ($ never hurts) and more for just showing how much we appreciate them giving a little love to our device.

These threads don't help. The dev will get it out when he gets it out. The CM team doesn't work off this type of motivation or have ETA's. However, this thread might make the release slower, because they know that the longer this thread is out, more people will pledge. Regardless, donations are made appropriately when the product is released. This thread won't even give them an idea of how much money they'll get because by the time it is out, people will be in different financial situations. It is a very poor way to get ROMs coming.
..And frankly IF this motivates CM, i would rather it wouldn't because there could be a chance where someone would rush something just for the sake of money. I want my ROMs stable as they can be. So they can take all the time they need considering it's already well under development. FYI i am NOT attacking the OP. Just my 2 cents. Purely opinion...
I've read some well thought out opinions and have decided that this thread is indeed irrelevant. I apologize as my main goal was to help out the developers

mods please close
He posted something earlier that he was leaving xda and wouldn't say the reason. But that it's deeper than we think and it has nothing to do with the users. He said to follow him on google+ but I couldn't find his account on his xda page.

may have jumped the gun posting this....believe i had a misunderstanding myself. the threads are back, likely just some cleaning up to do.
that being said, i've never seem tdj post anything that spoke poorly of his character. i've 3 kids & i'm sure i wouldn't have his patience & temperament dealing with what gets directed at him around here. and i'll agree with you on one thing...i would miss his roms if they were no longer available

[DISCUSSION][KERNEL]OC/UV up to 1.83GHz h0tcakez JB | 3.0.43 For Hercules

As some of you may know flappjaxxx had created a Hercules specific kernel for our phone with OC/Uv capabilities. Unfortunately only after 1 day of dealing with a few xda members he has decided to shut it down. I just like to say one thing about this we have to remember these developers do things that they may like and then they share it with us. If it does not meet your satisfaction I would suggest you then find a way to make it fit your needs and definitely not complain.
With that said he informed me that updates if any(I asked him to not stop for Hercules) can be found on his goo.im page http://goo.im/devs/flappjaxxx/t989
Thanks flappjaxxx for giving us a choice if only for a day... Not trying to have this be a back and forth just letting people know he will try and do updates when they are needed I guess and where to find it.
If you want to discuss anything about the kernel since the thread was closed feel free to get it started in here... To me the vibration is better than the other custom kernel and interactive makes my screen react faster. I do not have the lag I was having before, still checking out battery life of course
Peace!
It's ashamed that the tread had to closed that quick. Begger can't be chooser and I can't blame flapp for doing so.

Yes.. Some people are so ignorant and inconsiderate. Ugh... I would of done the same thing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
We had 1 choice of kernels the man gave us another one and because it was not the same as DAGr8 you complain... If it was the exact same then why even post it? Sorry it just did not make sense to me nor does alot of stuff I read here but maybe its just me...
Why are people so rude? It's one thing to offer constructive criticism, but to unnecessarily bash someone's work because you don't agree with it? It's ridiculous. I'm glad that this kernel will still be updated every now and again. My phone's running a lot smoother since I flashed it.

Its 4.0.4?
I also flashed this kernel a few hours ago and I'm really impressed, especially on how quick it puts my phone into deep sleep. This will definitely improve battery life and the performance in general is amazing!
I hope he sees how much his work is appreciated and not let the ignorant MF's out there get to him. People need to be more appreciative and respectful of the devs that put in the work they do

We can be PM....or hit the report button sir...
I find that hard to believe with this Moderation Team takes forever; the report or PM will be handle in an manner that is feasible, in other words, you will get addressed quickly. As far as "NO answer", I also beg to differ...if a PM was sent we will address.
We the Team of Moderators do not read every post and thread, that is why we rely on great Members like yourself to report or PM the Team of Moderators to handle issues/violations seen or witnessed. Hope you understand.
Thank You, Sir

Of course you do realize BigJoe is a mod, as am I. I can assure you it will not take forever to get hold of either one of us, or anyone else on our team.
The report function is missing from the Tapatalk based apps, but it's on the desktop, please use it and see how fast we respond
Thanks guys, didn't mean to sound too critical. I appreciate the genuine response and that you take your job seriously.

And all over battery life. Mine us great, but even have had bad days where battery just drained. To many factors to say its the rom. And why argue it there. I dont undersrand sone people. They just want a fight.

I agree. I was using Wicked for a long time and decided to give Frosty a try, and I loved it. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I also have great battery life with it. I will keep using it for a while. Hopefully DJ will come back.
What was the persons name that insulted DJ, I'll get 'em... I think DJ will be back, he loves this way too much, one way or another he'll be back.

I am saddened by what has gone down. I remember a time when post where constructive and not a pissing match. Unfortunately with more and more people come here and join the chances of this happening grows.
I know the frustration of seeing someone complain about something know to be issues or someone thinking it's a problem with the rom when no one else has issues. Just remember we where all noobs at one time or another and remember that one person that helped you out with something vs the person that flamed you for not knowing.

I was that at one point also, when the G1 came out and JesusFreke was making roms, and people had to use ADB to obtain root and be able to flash things. I learned since then and read and read and read. The problem now a days is that most don't care to read a little, or at all. Most of the questions asked in a thread are answered, or been discussed, or don't even belong in the dev section. This is extremely aggravating to the devs, or themers, when they right up a huge OP and no one uses it, and just clutters up their dev thread with useless questions and/or nonconstructive criticism. I don't blame him for quitting or locking the thread, if people feel it's at its prime, then leave it alone and don't touch it anymore. Most of the TouchWiz roms have the best version yet to come, or they came and went a while ago. Most of the mods they incorporated are flashable on your own, anyways. Thank him and respect decisions, or use one of the other 10+ TouchWiz roms.

Jesusfreke was the pioneer of modding for Android. Without him I believe that we would not be as far with android as devs, manufacturers, or even android its self.
Look at thouchwiz its self with the toggles in the notification Window. This came from cm. We the community can end up pushing for devs with true innovation to go back underground where their work is not seen in mass people, Google, or manufacturers. Then android may end up missing what could become greatness all for petty arguments. I follow one such dev in a private forum and it's a shame he was forced to by thing like this.

Hey guys,
I let this thread go for awhile (I was logged on when he created it) and you all have said your piece/peace, in an almost professional manner which I for one appreciate very much. But now it is time for this OT thread to be closed. I do invite you to the Official OT thread to continue this discussion, as a few have already been doing.
Thanks you for being civil about it, but the time for this thread has expired.
