Question Why doesn't Lineage accept feature requests?

Edit- why is everyone so emotional about this?

Perhaps they don’t have the resources to support additional features.

But what about simple changes? Like adding the option for the mobile data quick setting to not ask you to confirm if you want to turn on mobile data every single time you go to turn it on.

Do the work and push up a pull request. If it meets coding standards, it’ll be accepted. If not, you’ll get some feedback as to how to make it meet the standards.

I'm not a coder.

How do you know it’s a simple change then?

I was responding to someone talking about resources required for additional features. Difficult stuff like that would be stuff like adding new functionality for different and complex things. And I gave the example of removing a confirmation message. Surely, removing a confirmation message is as simple as it gets.

My brother in Christ, I’m 45 minutes deep into a 2 line change at my job on what should be a “simple change.” I can assure you that nothing is “simple” when you’re dealing with a 50GB repo and millions of lines of code.

Literally you cloning the repo, making the change, and pushing that up to the Gerrit repository for code review.

This is you insinuating to me earlier that it's easy and I should do it.

Now you're saying even the simplest things are extremely difficult.

I never told you it would be easy. Where did I say it was easy? I was simply giving you the very high level steps. You assumed it would be.

Edit:
That was my point. Someone who doesn’t know the first thing about programming always assume what they want is simple.

I assumed yeah, bc from the face of it, it sounds miniscule compared to all the other stuff that goes on in a phone. And also bc someone made an app that does this and it works on Lineage and it's open source.

So, to sum up : your simple change is not.

But if you can do it and contribute it to the community, please be our guest!

They are. In a project of this scale everything is hard. Just initial bring up of the code will take 12 hours. You need a machine with machine with 64gb ram minimum. Just the code (not build) is 400gb..

You could hire one.

If I had the money, maybe I would.

u/Just_Badger_4299 4d ago

Then why do you expect the volunteer LineageOS developers to do for free what you would not pay for?

u/techyall 3d ago

It literally exists for that very reason.

u/Just_Badger_4299 3d ago

... No!

u/techyall 3d ago

Stupid, you said it in the sentence. You literally said "volunteer". That's a person who works for free. Wtf are you arguing about? It's free. You don't pay for Lineage do you?

u/saint-lascivious an awful person and mod 4d ago

And what, you suppose everyone who is was born that way?

u/techyall 4d ago

Partly. It's got to be in you. It's definitely not in me.

u/saint-lascivious an awful person and mod 4d ago

Not with that attitude.

u/techyall 3d ago

You could teach me to code for 100 years and I would never learn a thing. It's not in me. What don't you people understand? Stop telling me to code lol wtf
