Do you guys want a restart of this thread so it is cleaned out and more info in post #1, or do you want to just continue the thread the way it is?

If there is no mod to keep it clean, we'll end up at the same place so if we have someone to keep it clean, sure, if not, don't bother.... maybe all the redundant questions will catch the eye of someone who is about to ask the same question again.

Not as concerned bout the cleanliness, that is just the nature of forums. But more concerned about the information in the first few posts. I know MrPippy won't ever have time to keep things updates, there are lots of spin-off threads, which are perfectly fine as well. I figured just a thread that the first few posts can be updated from and attempt to keep links from some of the spin-off threads for the extra information.

You will never get a thread that is not going to have repeated questions. That is just how it goes heh. Just inquiring if you guys wanted a fresh start or just to leave it how it is.

I'd prefer for the thread to be organized like the rom threads where the first 3 or so posts are info about the project then the pages after are Q/A types of things. Seems to be easiest to keep up with releases that way. I feel like without checking the thread a few times a day I'm missing a lot here.

Keep in mind, that is how this thread is already designed, just that the 1st post isn't updated as often due to Op not being a forum guy, he is more into developing. So just asking if you guys want to do that. But again, this isn't anything that hasn't already been done in some form or fashion. If we get a few votes to do so then I will work on it, and try and put links to some of the other threads that cover different topics.

And I don't have to be the one that restarts the thread, we can just use one of the ones already out there if you wish. And I am definitely not promising to be here every hour of the day to give you the latest and greatest heh, so if someone else that has more time wants to by all means. I know Mackie has an all in one package thread, you guys can start using that one instead if you like.

Yeah my thread is kinda quiet.

My vote is to Restart it with an "involved" OP. Mr Pippy is great for his development of Android but not so great in the forums.

IMO, threads that have "involved" OPs go much smoother. Of course it is not a guarantee but in general I've noticed that threads where the OP generally doesn't contribute at all, degenerate very quickly.

I think it is wrong to start a new thread and take away from what Mr. Pippy has done and still is doing. As he stated he is jobless at the moment and any donations can help him at this time. What should be done and I am sure can easily be done is to get with Mr. Pippy and have someone else update the page for him, since he is busy working on this project. I am sure a simple PM can achieve this. The right thing to do is at least send a PM to him and ask him what he thinks.............plus really what more is to be updated to page 1 than it is already?

Addressed in the new thread. Thanks for reminding me.

Just my opinion, but he'd probably get more donations if "chimed in" here and there. Even if it is just a once-a-week status update, that would go a long way. But to each his own.

Granted, Mr Pippy did alot of the heavy lifting in getting the current Android package together. But unfortunately in this thread, he has left it to others to do all the support.

I don't think this thread should be closed but perhaps it can be "unstickied" with another thread taking it's place as the "sticky" thread.
