Xda... You messed up bad when you kicked out hero. Im running his baked snack 1.2 rom and it's flawless. Let him back in. Who really cares if he asks for donations? This is retarded. Proof is in the pudding.

This is hero btw,
I would never intend to that man. I hate seeing reports like that because they make me feel like I'm screwing people over when my goal is to take complete care of my members. Please, if you have donated and have not received access. Send me a request from my forums and make sure you state the email address you donated with. If by midnight I don't have all the reproper requests accepted I will refund your money and you will still get access. Sometimes it is hard for me to catch all the requests. But I am attempting to be very good about my prgram and respect and appreciate all memberships
Problem is said user is a well known donatewares promoter who repeatedly breaks/bends XDA rules. I for one am glad to see him removed from the Epic forums and back to those others (hero/evo) forums where all those donatewares people can muddy up those places. Personally, I'm thankful this place is clean and not infested with donatewares rom makers, but who knows how long that will last. Money is a good motivator to find ways around a system.

Ok guys. Donateware means you have to pay for the rom. Wanna know what my members pay for? My tons of hours of support. There will never be an unanswered question at my site. Also they receive my roms 3-4 days earlier than the public. Any roms I release will go public. Its just the people who can't wait 3 days that cried enough for me to not want to post here

Haha, nice try at trying to dodge the bullet. It's a known fact that you aka hero has made "coming soon" threads here then baiting the rom flashing addicts to your own "pay to download.... er, register/support" site for your own profits.

1.1 is not based fully on di18 so it will not go public. 1.2 will be public tomorrow or Tuesday.
and to the other guy. Call me what you want and say what you will. I can sleep knowing the people who donate to me get the support they request and the roms they desire. Just because you don't agree with it does not mean it is wrong. I spend half my day supporting people that use my work. Ask xda how much moderators get paid. Because they do and I dont see you complaining that they make money for closing threads and making threads stickied. Cmon man be smarter than the average bear

So you're implying that XDA mods release roms/products in XDA forums under the condition that IF they donate early they will be lead from a XDA forum post/thread to a pay site to promote their donateware roms "support" just to get a alpha/beta product/rom earlier than the average joe? LOL, get real. Trying to equate what you do to XDA mods is moot and baseless. Just admit it, you're a donatewares/advertiser peddler, just cuz you dabble in the grey area doesn't put you behind the white line. I think you're wrong and apparently XDA mods agree by removing your post/s.
I'm finished and you may go now.
Herver,
I get that you are a great dev and would like some kind of compensation for your work, but your attitude is just making you come across as a complete asshole. XDA isn't a billboard for you to advertise your "coming soons" on. I'm sure if you had tried to reach some sort of middle ground with the Mods (like including a link to your site in your signature saying you have early releases of your work there) then you wouldn't look like a total prick and feel the need to insult anyone one here.
And that's all I have to say

Does anyone know what happened with this ROM/Thread? I'm only curious. A lot of mystery behind *pending investigation*
Mods: Feel free to delete this thread
All: Feel free to criticize
Welcome to the new management aka dumber than the last one. Some of these special folks now locks the thread and cleans it so flame war ect won't continue when locked.
Makes a bit of sense. It's funny because I was starting to just get into it... I'm not sure I can wait, I might have to see what royalginger or faux's AOSP is all about. I'm addicted to flashing ROMs I think.
Now I never used evil D's rom/kernel or anything. But on serious note as another user in another thread said his rom may have radio.img in it maybe the reason it was pulled. As we all know the danger with corrupted radio.img and as the user says he didn't supply folks with md5 checksum which would give higher risk of bricking the device if corrupted. So maybe thats why it was pulled who knows only evil D and dingleberry mods knows.

It had no radio.img in it
Yea I don't think that was it. I'm thinking more of stolen code or some nonsense. but that's all just speculation. Whatevs, I am kind of attached to sense 3.0 now, but I have a taste for vanilla... I need two phones....

Well technically yes legally HTC can make claim and have it removed. But in the past they have not done so as they actually have very open standard with Android development world. As more news hits of unlocked bootloader and opensense sdk which proves more on that matter.
Far as stolen source code goes let say from another user no one else has put any projects as evil d's contribution is known in our community. Now the new mods may not know this as they don't even own MT4G nor has they been in our sections until Option went MIA. If these new mods do lock/delete it then all of the evil D users should boycott XDA and go download from his direct site if they have it. It seems XDA is becoming very cocky atm with its 4million userbase which can drop any min if main developers pulled back from here.

lol you really don't know who I am then. I can't clearly say I support any type of moderation's let it be mod, super mod, admin as I have dealt with all of them in here. I just think they should assign new mod who at least have a clue with the device we have. Also the new mods nuked alot of my posts which actually had no flame, ect and was actually informative. If they contributed to our device in any ways I would be supportive but since they haven't I can say I share their value. Whos/Option both where our own MT4G member but the other 2 new mod's now don't even own MT4G. So they actually offer nothing to the members here.

But far as rom goes I stick to AOSP as I am not big fan of Sense based. ATM using CM7NB86 (AOSP2.3.4).
I like the customization, nice look. I was CM7 for a little bit, I loved it, was going to switch back but I got hung up on the HTC apps. I still can't find a ROM that does VM notification for 'mycarrier', it never works and bugs the crap out of me, so I use googlevoice.
I agree that mods should be experienced with the hardware/software that their respective sections of moderation use. runs smoother that way and I think overall creates synergy(I love that word). But the objectiveness of a mod that doesn't have any affiliation with the section can be useful in when stopping disputes/flame/etc. IDK the real reason why the thread was locked but it seemed like that move was jumping the gun a bit.
I also see that another developer that was pretty new and had posted 3 roms within the last week is suddenly gone now also. He had a really good stock rom for MT4G that was GingerSense but now all of his threads and posts are gone. Nowhere to be found. Can only see his roms via rom manager.

If you read a few pages back into the thread, it should be pretty obvious why the download link was removed and the thread temporarily closed. None of the issues discussed in this thread are the real reason. It should be an easy fix, so hopefully the matter is resolved soon.

Or you could have told the OP why in single line instead of him reading few pages. Some folks like myself never used his rom's much less visited his threads but we would be still interested to know why.
it may be the fact that the thread turned into a pissing contest and everyone was arguing about stupid crap like evil updating the rom everyday. which i dont see them pulling the rom for that reason. glad i have every version downloaded already
.....I'm sad that I just read that Melvin close dev on the rom THE BEAST CM 1.3..xboarders rom nd. pretty much any rom based off CM ........
damn that sucks I love this rom I refuse to go back to sense roms........many things have changes since the g1 days I remember when Google was going after cyanogen cuz of the whole developing issues now just seems like everytime I get a different device it goes sour cuz problems with CM team don't get me wrong CM team has grown and changed the game for all of us and our devices but still sucks .....damn shame!....

So, uh, you do know that there is an ACTUAL CM rom out, right? Those guys were all doing unofficial ports, which is awesome, but kmobs stepped up and has an alpha build out for the device (which is now listed officially on the CM forums), so the other guys stopped trying to port it...you know, cause its already done.

Both ROMS are based off of CM7.1 which is still in Alpha and source is not released. I hope they will be back up and running once CM 7.1 is out of development and source is released. Also the CM alphas are pretty darn solid, so hopefully they will progress quickly.

1) Learn to write in coherent sentences please
2) There is an OFFICIAL CM ROM out! Official CM >>>>>>>>> the rest of the CM ROMs
first off... they're upset with kmobs for using security measures to stop winzip devs from hacking up the alpha builds they were kind enough to give us in the first place.
second off... cm WILL NOT open their repos until all temporary hacks and major bugs are removed. deal with it! it's their code to do with as they wish. end users should be glad they prefer to use clean code over dirty hacks.
third off... kmobs and company have been working hard for months to bring you the alpha builds you see now. can't you see how someone coming along and hacking their work up with 7zip, throwing in some minor changes (i hope you're at least using smali), and then redistributing the work saying it's faster, cleaner, and better MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE DISRESPECTFUL to the original creators of the code?
Lastly, the cm team has no problem with people using their work, but at least have the courtesy to let them finish it before you DEMAND they give it to you to build from and keep it open source. by that i mean dont take their source, compile and build it, release a rom and then never release any source of your own. prove why your rom is improved over the original instead of just saying it is. oh and if you do improve upon it, submit it to gerrit for approval and GIVE BACK to those you take from.
sorry for the rant but demanding someone release their source before it's even finished is totally disrespectful and i couldn't just keep my mouth shut.
well first of all i write how I wana write if u wana read is really up to u buddy if not then look at another post I think the dust under the screen is were he party is at ;-) .....and I'm sure people are not DEMANDING I'm sure they are asking ....demanding and asking are 2 different things .......and all this community is about giving props and sharing hasn't it always been like that ......is not like props or proper thanks isn't given ........ but of course people will disagree cuz that's how the world goes round .....

Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
Mmmmmm... No. What's been going on in Kmobs personal G+ feed is waaay closer to demanding than asking.
The ability to see that has nowt to do with fanboyism on either side of the issue, it's simply taking those rose-coloured glasses off and realizing that your favourite xda 'aosp from CM7' 'devs' are most likely not on this development path for the thrill of innovation, nor the joy of doing something truly useful for Android as a whole (like adding new features and such.) Nope, they're mostly in it for the length of their 'thanks meter' aka e-peen, and those clickthroughs/donations. Which means that they will certainly release roms that are based on an alpha, change a bit of ui wording here and there so they can feel justified in telling everyone that 'it's 90 percent their code', add a few half-assed tweaks that cause even more issues on top of that, and then claim it's the best, cleanest, most awesomest rom in the whole wide world.
Small wonder, then, why CM would want do a little 'brand-protection' that they are perfectly entitled to under Apache license.
But then, nowhere is it said in the big book of life that reality pills should be easy to swallow

Regarding there source, just let them work until it's done, after all look at MIUI! They turned around & based the foundation of that rom off of CM & now it's in Production... Don't get me Wrong, they put alot of work into it & I hope everyone understand what I mean regarding that.
Until then, just sit & relax... Have a beer or a case until they release the source for it..

Regarding there source, just let them work until it's done, after all look at MIUI! They turned around & based the foundation of that rom off of CM & now it's in Production... Don't get me Wrong, they put alot of work into it & I hope everyone understand what I mean regarding that.
Until then, just sit & relax... Have a beer or a case until they release the source for it..

What happened to the ICX game launcher. I looked on their website and couldn't find it and the threads closed, did they scrap it?

Good question.
I remember DeanBoro said that his Xperia PLAY's screen was broken, but that was like half a week after the topic was closed by request.
I do hope it eventually comes together soon though (and by soon, I definitely don't mean Gameloft's interpretation of the word) because I'd done nearly everything but completely delete the official launcher in anticipation of this customizable one.
I messaged DeanBoro about it after I saw the thread closed and this was his response.
"This is still under development but it is slow development at this moment because I am no longer working on it as my Play has been broken. HOWEVER another member of the team is working on it but ICX have alot of things to do at this moment in time i will inform you if there is any progress."
So I will be patient and if it comes out it comes out.

Thanks for posting this jgregoryj1.
As he quoted above. My play has been shattered and as I don't really have an income of any sort at this moment in time apart from college allowance I do not have funds at this moment (£50) which is needed to repair the phone screen. Therefore I have handed the project over to a good friend of mine who has continued development of it although the development is slow as he has many things on his plate at this moment in time.
I would say give it another 1-2 weeks and there should be a updated thread of his with information about the Launcher. ALSO I know hes a very talented developer therefore I think he will most likely port it to all android phones.
Thanks

It's been almost 3 weeks, no news?
I no longer own the Xperia Play so therefore I do not have any content left to associate with the community.
However like I said I give the source to a friend of mine and if he decides he wants to continue development then he has all rights to =]

Hi Nick, DeanBoro, just wondering how this was going or if it still is...? Not asking for ETA, just curious if it is still being developed on........ so we as a community know its not abandoned, and if it let us know. Thank you both of you for your efforts and look forward to hopefully some good news.
I told you guys this project would end up being vaporware. That became obvious after we were told it was almost ready for release and then nothing happened.
Yep same new it wasn't coming because they made up released dates about 5 times and it was apparently so close to being finished but was never released so it was probably bull **** lol.
These are the type of unhelpful comments that put developers off
Everybody on these forums has a life
Projects are started some go to completion and some dont
Promises are made some are kept and some aren't
I am sure that always with the best of intentions
Everything is provided for you free of charge be grateful if you get it, be understanding if you don't.
I f you really want it go and learn and do it yourself, the same way the developers did. and then you can share it with us.
Or maybe you won't finish your project and then I can say that you lie and are full of s**t and we will see how you feel about it.

Agreed.. could not have said it better. With attitudes like that its a wonder devs make anything at all. When I enquired to DeanBoro some time ago about this he replied to my email and said that I was the only one he replied to because it was a sincere enquiery, his mesage box was full of ungrateful jerks chewing him out for not having released this ICX Game Launcher. Also DeanBoro does NOT have a Xperia PLAY anymore as his broke and he has no means of getting a replacement jsut yet so PEOPLE STOP B!TCHING, he did say several times that he had turned the project over to another trusted developer that is on the ICX team but that due to time and other responsibilities whether or not it gets released is out of his hands..............nuff said....
SO BE PATIENT............ I will continue every now and then enquire on this thread in hopes of some news but I am not going to write up a$$hole remarks, if people want to be like that why dont YOU work on it, then when people realize that its a difficult time consuming task and its not released others can harp on you about it....PATIENCE goes a LLLLLOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG WWWWAAAAAYYYYY, and you'll live longer......

Actually, you make a good point. However, I didn't say anything bad about the devs. I only said the app was vaporware - meaning that, while the devs may have had good intentions, the app was never released. After several promised release dates came and went, it became pretty obvious this was a tougher nut to crack than first imagined. Then the main dev ran into hardware issues. Then there were NO ETAs and no news coming out for weeks. Thus it became obvious the project had been shelved. So... Vaporware.
No disrespect intended to the devs. Heck, I'd rather have them working on ROMs any day.

Make your Android Free of Ad's in apps and increase Browser loading times.*Updated 6/2/2012*
-First off remove the ".zip" Extension (Had to add it to upload here)
-Next transfer to device's SD Card.
-Move to the System/etc folder via Root Explorer or equivalent and overwrite the existing host file.
-Change Permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
-Enjoy an Ad Free Experience
-This Will Also Make Your PC Ad Free (If You Tether). No More Loading Useless Add's, In Turn Speeding up PC Browser Loading Times Using Less Bandwidth!
*To revert back, just delete my Host file and reboot. The OS will rewrite the original.
I will add to this file as I come across newer Ad's
*Yes This Can Be Done With Several App's, But I like My Space and Free Ram*
(Tinker, Tinker, Tinker, That's What It's All About)
Awesome, willl have to do this once my phone arrives. However, do you actually mean Reduce browser loading times??
Or one could use full-featured, easy apps from the Market such as AdAway or Adfree Android...

Apologies to OP, but quick Adfree Android question: is there documentation for it somewhere? I checked out bigtincan.com and it doesn't have anything, and on the Android Market^H^H^H Google Play site there's very little by way of documentation. I think it just did its job, but it presents a lot of choices and it would be good to know what they all do.

badass dev? when is he coming?
anyways in all seriousness the point that k0nane was trying to make i believe was fully justified. by using nicks tweak you rely on him updating it, which from the looks of it... doesnt seem to be happening. what does android being open source have to do with helping or not helping? as far as i can see there was an alternative given thats all, no different than if i made a huge giant post about how to use alogcat and get your msl. which works fine but there is an easier way of just using getprop.
so far from what ive seen of this community is a bunch of crying on how there are no roms/kernels etc. we had one blaze owner in teh irc for teh longest time. helping with root/recovery and whenever starskyrob had a moment to test his rom. everyone claims to want cm7/cm9/aokp/ics yet i havent seen anyone except (forgive me for misspelling your name if i did) dr4stic even try to compile. if you want good things to happen to your device then you need to step forward, look into rom development, learn how to compile the kernel from source. if you cant/arent willing to put the time in then find someone who is ive mentioned all around this forum no dev is gunna give up their high end device to go buy and work on the blaze.
myself and k0nane are on sprint it just happened to be that we like to go around and help phones that dont seem like they are gunna get the big name treatment. i tweeted at my buddy mikeyinid (we worked together on the nexus s back in the day) see if he wouldnt mind helping you guys on out...

But that doesn't give the right to treat others in a condescending manner. Nick has done amazing work on the vibrant and now has this phone and wad helping this man. Once the man got what he needed ( because like you stated, he nor you have the device) he was out. Then started treating him like this. Shabby, problem wasn't with you. I just had to step in and defend nick because he is a bad ass dev.

I personally think a lot of the problem is the average user's interpretation of T-mobile sales reps.
I mean, I knew the S2 had a very large rom community especially because it's a very popular phone. I was led to believe by T-mobile that the phone is pretty much just an S2, but with a smaller size screen.
If you compare the phone's features and specifications, you'd be a fool to not agree.
But as it turns out, as it pertains to roms, nothing could be further from the truth.
Shame on us, the average user, for not realizing the golden rules with salespeople:
1: They'll tell you what you want to hear.
2: Most of the time they don't know what they are talking about anyway.
3: Often times when you need to buy a phone, you've not exactly been planning on it, so you have to do it hastily. This was certainly true for me.
4: Custom roms are of course never able to be supported or recognized by the carriers, they pretty much pretend they don't exist, and for good reason. Most people aren't really careful enough to be doing it, even for the "simple" methods.
5: Rom maker's ability to communicate instructions is not always clear, and yes, this can have a detrimental impact to a person, especially if they are not experienced with the process. Seriously, half of the roms I've looked at for Android phones have glaring instruction errors, and even if it gets pointed out by another person, rather than update their instructions they'll just reply, "Yeah, sorry about that" The problem is, that clarification is often times on the 40th page of the thread. Sigh.
6: And this is my number one reason........
A lot more people should be getting more and more fed up with carriers who impose limitations on phones. Seriously, if it wasn't for all this carrier and manufacturer ego-wagging, the user experience would be better for both the tweaker crowd, and the stock crowd.

I appreciate the help with root and CWM but not the comments that follow all of mine. I have Saturdays to work with this device, so I am limited with time. I got to the point where I felt like baking for my wife and I ...= less drama. Ill be more than happy to post a "bootable , Functional Rom. But it will be redirected here: http://www.android-engineering.com/index.php
Sorry I can't sit here 24/7 I work 6 day's a week and spend the extra time with my 3 kids. I got to a point where I was neglecting my fam and was staying on the PC trying to keep up with 5 Rom's. Something had to give. What am I not updating? Is there a need? This will be put into my rom instead of an extra app. If something needs updating when I update a rom it will be done with each release. If it is unappreciated just delete the thread.
alright, its clear. i cant speak for k0nane but i can for myself. the hitsquad attempts to help devices get off teh ground but it doesnt seem like that is much wanted round here. so my apologies but ill go ahead and remove this forum from my daily loadup macro.

This. My threads will remain open as well.
I can't control how anyone interprets what I write - and that's all I'm going to say on the matter. Blaze owners, enjoy your devices, and best of luck, as Shabby said.
The main difference between idevices and android devices is apple would release one product at a time and make an all powerful push for it while android has many manufacturers giving us many choices. We all like choices, yes, but we would rather have a few good choices rather than a bunch of bad ones.
No, I am not complaining. I don't have any sense of entitlement. I am only urging the devs to rethink their methods. We have some dedicated devs here, yes. But it feels to me like the devs are racing to see who could come out with the most number of ROMs in the shortest time possible. I'd rather each dev stick with their pet ROM and focus solely on that.
I have several asus transformers from asus's series. The problem that asus is facing is they came out with too many models in such a short time. Because they only have so many devs working on the software, their stock rom are still unstable. Anyone using an asus transformer knows this.
Even in the dev section of the transformer, there are devs who try to come out with a new rom every other week and there are devs who came out with one and then stick with it. The roms with a dedicated dev are way more stable than the roms that are put in place by hit-and-run devs.
I hope I am not offending anyone. It seems to me like we have too many roms. I've tried them all, and while they are great I'd rather see them ironed out even more.
Ok, you can post hate replies now.

You realize our actual recognized developers are focusing on one single rom right? All of the various roms that are ported are from what use to be called kangbangers, 7zip jockies, winrar rebels. Outside maybe erikmm the rest of our roms are created by young kids that are trying to give the community a decent amount of roms to play with. I say outside erikmm because I understand he has a aosp rom he has been working on.

I know you are going to upset some people. I agree I also would like to see things like aries done but when all people want is roms to flash that is what you will get. We have two to three actual devs working to get this stuff fixed. They are hard at it. But two or three people can only do so much especially when they have a family.
Well if you want the few good choices there are plenty of GB roms and several ICS roms, including CM9 that can be considered stable, daily drivers.
We also have a lot of roms by other devs and groups that are alpha ports. You're not obligated to flash anything that's not to your liking. As I said, we already have a lot of stable roms that people are sticking with as the sole rom that they update/release.
Is there really much else the people who port multiple roms can do to make the roms better? I mean, they all use the same kernel. What else do you want them to do with the rom? Most of them are already stable and are daily drivers.
I for one love that so many roms are being ported. If it weren't for them all we would have for ICS options is cm9 and aokp. I think you should be more grateful.

This statement is one that upsets me when this kind of thread is posted. I can and I am very grateful for what is contributed here. However I can also have a opinion that doesnt flow with the community. I dont take the original post as a ungrateful post but more uninformed. To somebody that isnt up to date what the various "teams" are it would appear There are a bunch of "devs" giving us mostly working roms. Minor things not working but very much ready for daily use. But to people that know better they realize these ported roms are just ported roms. The real development is being done and its just two or three people.
Ill break it down.
Team Acid has given us the base to build ICS based roms.
Team FAH-Q has brought us a couple built from source roms and several nice ports.
Team Unknown have brought us many ported roms.
Then there is people like jeffsf, and jt that have contributed some very important things. Jt is responsible for getting us a working build of ICS, and jeffsf got oc/uv working.
By no means am I trying to slight any of the developers and rom porters. Just would like people to understand things are being worked on and pretty much daily. Sit down, strap in and enjoy the ride. And for the love of all things android please stop telling people that should be grateful to me that is more offensive than outright insulting somebody. Because you are implying they dont appreciate anything and its clear that they are more uninformed than anything.

To somebody that isnt up to date what the various "teams" are it would appear There are a bunch of "devs" giving us mostly working roms. Minor things not working but very much ready for daily use. But to people that know better they realize these ported roms are just ported roms. The real development is being done and its just two or three people.
Ill break it down.
Team Acid has given us the base to build ICS based roms.
Team FAH-Q has brought us a couple built from source roms and several nice ports.
Team Unknown have brought us many ported roms.
Then there is people like jeffsf, and jt that have contributed some very important things. Jt is responsible for getting us a working build of ICS, and jeffsf got oc/uv working.
By no means am I trying to slight any of the developers and rom porters. Just would like people to understand things are being worked on and pretty much daily. Sit down, strap in and enjoy the ride. And for the love of all things android please stop telling people that should be grateful to me that is more offensive than outright insulting somebody. Because you are implying they dont appreciate anything and its clear that they are more uninformed than anything.

My post wasn't even directed towards you. It's almost like you purposely try to start a ****storm every time I post.

I would have posted the same thing to FB had he told the guy to be more grateful. My only beef is the constant barrage from people telling people to be grateful. Basically its like saying shut up and like what we have and dont ruffle any feathers. The op, unlike you, is confused as to whats happening. So I was addressing your statement and giving some more background to the op as to why it appears we have a race going on.

Is there really much else the people who port multiple roms can do to make the roms better? I mean, they all use the same kernel. What else do you want them to do with the rom? Most of them are already stable and are daily drivers.
I for one love that so many roms are being ported. If it weren't for them all we would have for ICS options is cm9 and aokp. I think you should be more grateful.

Please understand that I am very grateful. I currently use the GB barebone rom, and I absolutely love it. Run my business with it.

Technically, that was AntonX. Jeffsf has just improved on AntonX's changes.
Just to keep things straight.

The reason why I say be grateful is because it seems like they're doing all they can do, porting. What else do you want them to do?
Most of the ported roms don't even have any bugs besides the cm9 bugs from the team acid kernel.
i feel violated

Respect the opinions of others. If all you can say is you should be grateful then really dont respond. The op stated he is grateful and just curious. Like I said originally its a matter of misinformation and misunderstanding of what is actually happening.
I don't understand what people are referring by stability here. Since leaked GB ROMs of 1 and a half year ago or maybe since having AntonX kernel, I don't remember any reboot or crashes. Actually besides battery life and TV out, to me, ICS ROMs are pretty much perfect. I think it is actually pretty clear what is the professionalism of every team in this community, I won't repeat what's been already said. To me, if someone is not satisfied or not getting what he wants he should either donate or try to make a change of his own. I try to do both, by making my contribution in translating ROMs and just lately donated to erik.
Team Acid and their friends are the solid rock on which we all (community contributors I like to call it) stand, so we need to embrace them.
FB - how are you doing with getting a new device?

I love lamp.
@eollie wouldn't cm9 be considered a ported rom...from source but still ported since we aren't officially supported by cm
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol

No luck yet. At the moment I can get a brand new sgs4g for free from target mobile but that means a contract extension.
I tried to purchase a phone yesterday from a guy on craigslist but when I finally got around to buying my replacement sim card and asking the guy where he wanted to meet he told me he had already sold the phone. I'll keep looking today but it might not happen until the weekend.
For the moment I'll be rocking my old iPhone 3G

**Disclaimer** This is my opinion and my opinion only.
A rom like cm9 or aokp that is built from source isnt what I consider a port because you have to know something to get it working. Even with acidify you need to know something to get it to work. However I can read a guide similar to the one I linked you many months ago and port a rom. Many times all it takes is some adb lolcat and google and you can fix whats wrong. If your base and port roms are working roms the only problems you should have is whats not working in the base.
I feel there is a great deal of difference between somebody that uses 7zip and adb lolcat to port a rom and somebody that spends hours at a time editing code to create these base roms for all the ports. In time if the 7zip jockey graduates to build and editing source code then good on them they have made the journey that people talk about is the reason xda exists.
