Kind petition to the wonder community

---

Ok guys, Samsung is not updating our phone to ICS. We hate this choice, but we can't help it.

Everyone is waiting for arco68 and the ICS porting, that is gonna be awesome but isn't here yet.

All I see around here is whining and questions, but no one lifts a finger to push this community: no one cares to see how to port mods, themes, and all kind of things that make Android interesting: if I wanted a closed source phone I'd have bought an iPhone and let it be as it came out of the box.

So PLEASE guys: the next time you come here to beg on the "cm9 build thread", instead look on XDA, read guides, try something, DO SOMETHING. If you don't know how to, ASK! If you don't manage, post here, we'll see what we can do to help.

There is no need to be a developer or know about code: you'll find tons of step-by-step guides all over XDA that will teach you.

We can't keep always asking. It's time to ACT!

It has been a tough nite for me at work....I cant really digest this yet but I will....BRB !

You do your part, you make videos, post guides, find apps, provide screenshots... It's the part of the community that just asks when cm9 is gonna be out that I'm referring to in my post

Just to add to...I wonder what happened to the Moderator for this thread section as it seems that all postings on Q n A etc is all over the place n re-created over n over but has been answered before...

Guys....

I think there is just over-enthusiasm and some impatience.....

perhaps, as a 58 yr-old enthusiast, I have done whatever I could in the way of advice and some experience in IT and Telco...

but young people, which I wish I was, don't have the patience which comes with age

I really have not seen anyone here really getting obnoxious, [well..maybe 1 person].....

so ppl should not take offence for little reason.....

Take a break, come back refreshed.....

ppl here only wish Devs the best, and hope they can solve outstanding issues....I genuinely feel this to be true

@IP I totally support the devs, and I'm one of those calm about waiting for releases.

What I was trying to say is that everyone should try to contribute actively instead of just waiting for the others to do the work :)

@fender

Exactly what I say my friend!!!

Each of us helps in whichever way they can......

some younger ppl are a little impatient....

which is a sign of youth

but, really...

truely, this is a very well-behaved forum!!!

I mean, Sammy drops us all in the shyte....

volunteer devs come to our rescue......

and ppl complain about the voluntary guys.....

instead if reading up and learning stuff which might be helpful.

Just One Suggestion

I have asked before for a Q & A Section, but if this is not possible perhaps add to this section any links for the topics noted in your fist post as searching xda vast resources is not easy for me and maybe also for others.

Hi all, I never write on this forum, i just read and waiting for news from our community, and i totally agree with fender90, we all need to do something for this Wonder(ful) smartphone!
Probably all of us are waiting for ics/cm9 and i think this is why only few people are trying to do something for us on gingerbread.
In my case i'd like to do something like a kernel with bln for example, but first of all for now i only rooted my phone and i'm afraid of briking my only phone trying to do other mods...Also, i dunno how to begin to do something else like develop a new kernel or improve the features of our w, like the devs on this forum are doing...So i'd really like to see more activity for this phone, and i'd really like to have a part on that, but i dunno how, and first to mod my phone i need to be sure on how i can test my possible mods without damages...

Unfortunately there is no "safe" way to mod, there is always some little bit of risk. But little mods can't hard brick your phone!

What arco68 is doing is the hard work that can brick your phone. He knows what he's doing.

Little mods to the framework or somthing like that will (in the worst case) soft brick your phone, that can be solved in 10 minutes by reflashing a ROM or restoring a Nandroid backup.

About how, check this out: that was the thing I was trying to do before kinda giving up because I don't see an active community that is actually trying to do something: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1169443
