Usually when a mod closes it they always have the last post and have some sort of explanation as to why it is closed.

MOD EDIT: Removed link requiring registration to download, per rule 11
read much ?
It looks like they were looking for a reason to shut him down out of some spite.
Secondly you don't have to post a smart ass comment. I understand you're shielded behind your monitor and keyboard but that doesn't mean you have to act like a jerk.
There are plenty of ROM threads with members posting stuff they shouldn't have posted. They could have simply edited the offenders post or did a temporary ban. Anyone else care to chime in?

I didn't know the thread got closed but I think its appropriate to do so.
Leaving past drama in the past I still think its wrong for someone to post a link/thread on XDA that intends to direct traffic away from XDA, requiring registration on another website in order to enjoy the author's work. If DD wanted to be part of the XDA community then he should post and, to some degree, support his work ON XDA.
I don't care wether or not his thread was shut down. I just thought the whole thing was a little shady - some guy comes out of nowhere to offer this amazing thing that this other guy has, but you can only have it if you come into the alley with him because he can't show you in the light.
That thread was hijacked with bickering back and fourth anyway.

lmao......
So what... the Rom rocked.
Just register at his forum, that's what I did. I have been running the rom since day one and it is the best rom I think I have ever used. There are a few bugs here but I use it everyday and love it. Google search "the ultimate droid evo" and it's the first link.
I didn't see anyone actually answer your question.. the second time the thread was closed was because the rom contains swype.

LMAO! Thats too funny! Makes sense...(no pun)
...and now the 2.1 thread has been locked in the EVO forum. Yet, identical threads in the Desire and Motorola forums are still open. Mod(s) please explain this?

Are you freaking kidding me! I just went to the development section and the thread is gone. This is getting really stupid.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It was shut down the first time because it linked another sign up site to download it. Second time because it included warez. Third time, may have been due to warez(ex fancy widgets) or maybe even because of the $2 monthly fee for nighties. Hell it may have just been to all the crying the tread seem to bring.

Here is where the thread was.. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849986 which now the link redirects you to the "Forum & Marketplace Rules". It was stated in the subject line that the thread was not in compliance with #8

The cached link: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...wthread.php?t=849986&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
So let me get this right... because the OP posted "If you like this ROM and would like to help further developmentLEASE DO NOT FEED THE DEVELOPER! A donation link can be found HERE" outside of his/her signature this caused the thread to get locked and it's not even the OP's rom??? Not sure I understand how #8 even applies to the thread since the rom wasn't the OP's and he was trying to stay in compliance with rule #12
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.

I mean com'on it's not like the OP hacked a phone (which is illegal), stole the the UI off the phone aka: "porting" (like HTC Sense, Acer Liquid, or etc which ARE NOT open source therefore "illegal" as they are covered by copyright as stated in you HTC Sense software menu>settings>about phone>legal information>HTC legal>

Which means nearly EVERY developer here is direct violation of rule #6 ("Do not post warez") of the site unless someone has posted a copy of the authorization from HTC to redistribute their software. Yes, I use custom ported roms like most of xda, and I fully support advancing development of the mobile platform. My lack of understanding is not over this, but over nitpicking "some" developers and using rules when it fits ones specific agenda. Whatever agenda that might be. I am not here to start a war with admins or mods, but to get a more clear understanding of intent. It seems not only unclear to myself but to others as well. Thanks John

It's favoritism, that's all.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
if my memory serves me right XDA has some kind of right to host Sense roms with all the Sense things , someone made that argument before.
I'm not a ROM developer, but I am an app developer... question for my fellow devs.
Android recently killed the use of MODIFY_PHONE_STATE for any third party app (only system apps can use it now)... which effectively kills the ITelephony.aidl hack many of us have been using.
I opened an enhancement request to restore functionality for 2.3.x and bring a better solution to the table for Android 2.3+ but Android just closed it with a "Working As Designed" tag.
Any thoughts on where to go next? It seems they aren't even willing to discuss alternative solutions.

I fail to understand why. This is a developer specific question, and will only confuse most folks (non-developers) who read the Q&A section.
I'm wondering if it is possible to view a list of all the posts I have thanked. I looked around in my profile and it appears that I can only view thanked posts that other people have given to me. Instead, I want to see a list of all the thanks I have given out. I want to do this because a lot of the posts I thank have very useful information and I would like to view them later for future reference. Is this possible?

Is it possible to add this feature in the future? Up until now I had been using thanks kind of like bookmarks for posts that had useful information. I didn't realize I couldn't go back to them easily though.
Site admin needs to install newer version of Thank You plugin
Same discussion on Maemo forum got someone to find how to do this: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=171347&postcount=20
But this has to be done by the forum administrators by installing a newer version (7.2 or above) of "Post Thank You Hack" that gives the Thank You functionality to vBulletin: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122944
Admins, This is a very good-to-have feature. Could you please upgrade the Thank You hack to 7.2 or above?

This would be pretty awesome if the admins if could enable it.
yes that would be useful.
Someone said this command would work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/post_thanks.php?do=findthanks_user_gave&u=<uid>
but guess it only works if the forum has the right plugin.

I thought that plugin allows users to see the thanks they gave. Apparently, it doesn't.
Anyways, please address the main point of this thread - ability to see the posts thanked BY us.
I'd like to do this also, really wanted to see a specific post I thanked and it is lost in hundreds of pages
Hey guys, I have several hundred photos on my phone and organizing them is quite painful. I was wondering if anyone knows of a method to tag photos on my phone. not necessarily face tags, but maybe like a description or a date. I've seen the feature of adding tags to pictures on the DroidX as show in the link below. I would like to do something along these lines. Maybe an app or any other method would be cool

Hi. I'm currently using redmi note 10, and I was wondering if there is a custom rom like iOS for my Android phone? If not then why??
I mean I have installed "Pixel Experience" on my phone but why there isn't an "iOS Experience". I know there are many folks who'd love something like that.
I've tried searching for it and found none, there are some iOS launchers on play Store but they're filled with bugs and ads.
Please reply, Thanks.

If you want something and it doesn't exists, you can start developing it from scratch.
Remember that Android is open source, the sky is the limit!
There is a goophone u cn purchase it at wish.com. Im not sure ure trolling or something. Secondly wrong device forum and even if ure at the right forum u would get i think the same reply.
iOS is a closed source
