Development for Z2 tablet topic

I have created this thread to prevent spamming the Android Development forum.

Starting point: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...0&postcount=93

The Z2 tablet is not a best seller, it is a high-end Android tablet with a very limited user base. Of course devices which have sold an order of magnitude more like the Samsung Galaxy S5 or the HTC One M8 attract more developers, but then look at the forums for the Galaxy S5 Mini, where there is hardly any development at all. Compared to such devices we do very well here. I personally am glad that we have good developers supporting our tablet and a range of custom ROMs to choose from and I am thankful for the ROMs we have and for the work the developers spend in their free time. Finally, this is XDA here - if you think there are too few ROMs here feel free to make your own one instead of alienating the developers we have by complaining about their work. Hi, Waoh ! OK, sorry... I take it all back. Did not thought my post would suggest such vehement reaction. In fact, what did I wrote ? Simply that on the whole channel dedicated to "Z2 Tablet Android development" there has not been a single post in over 3 weeks... Which makes me fear that development is not really alive for a device I really like. Does it deserve such reaction ? Maybe. But I beg to differ... I am not whining, I am not complaining... I was just stating. That makes a difference to me. Maybe not to you... Regards.

See, CM12 and Lollipop AOSP were updated just 2 days ago, on 2015-01-10. PAC was updated today, before it was updated on 2015-01-05. Yesterday, a new pre-rooted stock ROM for the SGP521 was posted.

Yet you ask if development is dead.

In my opinion, this is insulting the developers who do the work for us - for free, mind you!

I do not want to start a flame war or a non-technology-related discussion here. I merely want to point out that I do not share your view and that I am thankful for the ROMs we have.

Also I want to point out that I appreciate the work the developers do - we already have 'lost' a developer here in this forum who was alienated by some comments from certain members, and I think this shouldn't be repeated.

Hence I felt that I have to reply to your post to make the developers know that there are members on this board who do not share your view. Usually I simply ignore such posts to prevent spamming the forums, but I think your repeated complaints (no Apps2SD, no 4.4 AOSP, no new developments) warrant a reply.
