So, as a stock 4.4.2 user, who thank God did not allow upgrade to lollypoop, or marshmoron, who just TODAY rooted (and unrooted 5 minutes later) just to regain power for all apps to WRITE to external sd, who can still use any and all bluetooth keyboards....I have a question.

Riddle me this, code monkeys..... We want fast, snappy loading of selected apps, great opreational speed, best possible battery life and a truly customizable interface (think touchwiz on steroids), multi window (4+) support, support for available bluetooth devices, reliable wifi connections, and stunning, I mean wet you lips, drool down the side of your mouth, high resolution graphics. And it all has to be rock solid reliable.

Have you got that available?

I await you response.

Here is a riddle, what has 16 paragraphs, and is used to govern the Forums on XDA.....

The Forum Rules, read them, before posting and especially posting this in the Original Development Section, here is a hint read #15


And no response required, just read and understand the Rules.

Get your root back and install 'L Speed' from the google play.

I am stunned. As a programmer for more than 35 years, I have seen my share of things. While I did read the rules before any posting, I understood that this section was for development. And in keeping with that, I addressed the lack of direction, foresight, and practicality that is so evident in the android world. Kids running the train as it runs off the rails. So my post was to set a marker, a direction, a call to focus and what is really the purpose of all this "development".

I am shocked to be chided for pointing out the obvious, for speaking truth to the very posters IN THIS SECTION. Because, believe me, they seriously need it.

And by this section I meant the Development section I originally posted in, only to have my comment bounced to this area. It defeats its purpose.

So you're saying that you still haven't read the rules, right? Here's #15, as hinted above:

Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For Developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to kernels, bootloaders, ROMs, etc., as well as R&D development discussion threads designed with an end goal
I don't think it's really that hard to understand that the development forums section on XDA are meant for developers to post about their work and open up discussions about them. It's not for non-developers to create threads to ask questions, request for features, or, as you said, to "set a marker, a direction, a call to focus and what is really the purpose of all this "development" (what would you call this type of post, maybe 'a challenge'?). Yeah, it's not for that.

So it was the perfect thing to do for the mod, and it's not even debatable. What would make it defeat its purpose is if the mods simply let your post stay there.

Seriously, did you read your post?

I did open up a discussion. What, we have no rights? Just who the h%=€£ are the "developments" for? Seriously, you think it is some sacrosanct area for "developers" living in some bubble?

First of all, I too am a programmer. Have been writing applications since BEFORE 1980. I know a thing or two. And pardon me for pointing out that the "development" has been for the most part misguided, ineffective, guideless and practically useless. None of the packages take into account the tons of complaints and suggestions android has generated. So throwing a flag on the field and setting a marker, jesus, that is what this infantile operating system needs.

You know who the explorers and heroes are? They are the ones on the front lines, dead, with arrows in their backs.

Maybe someone should point out, that with all of androids potential, after years of "development", it is still a POS.

Woe to the man telling the truth or pointing out the emperor without clothes.

Let me try this again. Yes, you have a right to open up a discussion. Having said that, the rules of XDA is (as you could read again, I did bold the keywords to make it easier for you), to open up a discussion in the forums that are marked as 'Development', you need to create/develop something first, and then you can open up a thread for a discussion about whatever it is that you developed. That's it. If you haven't developed anything and wanted to discuss something else not in relation with a very specific app/kernel/rom/etc. specifically related to this device, if you wanted to start that discussion then it will have to take place somewhere else other than the development forum. This really isn't obvious to you already? Just look at all the threads in the development forum, do you see any pattern at all? Any sign whatsoever that the post that started this thread somehow belong in there?

First of all, I too am a programmer. Have been writing applications since BEFORE 1980. I know a thing or two. And pardon me for pointing out that the "development" has been for the most part misguided, ineffective, guideless and practically useless.

Well good for you, mr. programmer! Feel free to develop something and post it on the development forum, where a discussion about it should take place. Maybe I'll pop in and discuss it with you, if it's interesting for me. Also, feel free to post how 'misguided, ineffective, guideless, and useless' all the posts in the development forum is. You absolutely can do that, too. You just can't do it.. (guess where? that's right!) ...in the development forum, because that forum is to discuss developments of something concrete, not critiques and complaints or whatever it is you think you're doing now. Simple!

You're just pretending that you didn't get it, right?

You know who the explorers and heroes are? They are the ones on the front lines, dead, with arrows in their backs.

See now you're just rambling there. Well, go ahead, continue...
