[REQ]-giving credit in the 2.2 ROMs - Epic 4G Android Development

I notice that noobnl, whosdaman, and Firon are getting uber credit for the leaked 2.2 beta.
I'm requesting that everyone also please give credit/honorable mention to "evilpeople" as well. Evilpeople gave the ROM up to noobnl originally and without this initial contribution, we may all be still waiting for some 2.2 goodness.
Just sayin'.. if we're gonna give credit, we should include the original source.

Ok..
Sent from my Epic 4G

.... ok +1, worthless thread. del3te!

Nah I actually second this.
Evil was put through alot of flaming and such just for releasing the beta he had to a trusted developer instead of the whole community for a good reason. (Involvement with his source and such) Its in a thread a couple pages back.
I think he deserves credit as well. He got flamed alot and fact is, without em, We wouldn't have the Froyo beta right now.

My apologies... since I uploaded my version rather than the general release version it got shut down, but I'm reposting and as soon as it uploads and will give credit to him/her as well...

I don't think your thread was shut down because you used another source, it was shut down because you included paid apps.

I agree if it wasn't for evilpeople pointing it out and actually sharing when people were just flaming. It wouldn't be out.

Yea true noobnl and especially whosdaman did nothing.
Evilpeople should be the ONLY one getting credit... Maybe firon can get an honorable mention.

now lets see who is going to get a credit for the newer 2.2 rom...

Whoa no no.. Thats wrong lol.
Noobnl and a few other dev's took the Beta that Evilpeople provided to Noobnl and made it actually usable to the state we have it in now.
The beta Evil gave him I believe wasn't very usable.
So they all deserve credit as well.

Thanks for the support mentioning Evilpeople.
I also agree that noobnl, whosdaman, and Firon deserve honorable mention/credit as well. They have all contributed to our 2.2 builds that we have now.
I just wanted to make sure credit was mentioned where it was due.
it's easy to forget about the little people

Here we go again :) Donation/Hacker Fund for beer and profit. AOSP thunderbolt

Hey Guys,
Here we go again. G2/nook. now TB.
Who is in for making donations to make a fully working AOSP or CM7 version of thunderbolt (mecha) with FULL LTE/3G and WIFI. Everything must work. Or bounty will not be collected and returned to people.
Rules:
1) As above. Everything must work!
Wifi/ Blue tooth / video / cam back and forth / video / full playback of video (no hacks) smooth video playback even on youtube.
You may donate as much as you want:
I have been known to do this for the community. The person/group who gets it. Can give it to charity to xda or buy beer. I really don't care.
Donation link: Removed Link [Under Moderator Review]
If people dont like this idea. Please state below and I shall remove this post or have a mod do so.
Thanks!
Reserved.
Also. Mod if you feel this needs to go to general. You may move it. Sorry if i mis-placed this.
Why are we doing this when someone is working on it already?

agreed ^^ CM is almost done, they have lte working and 3g, just finishing up on wifi, blue tooth and some others. Cyan said in his interview nightlies should start soon.
Most of that is already working in CM7, is it not? No need for a bounty imo, they will get it if its not done already.
Oh well. Lets see what people think. Sharing is caring
I don't think its a bad idea as some may, I know cyanogen's peeps are working on it but cyanogen and his team aren't the only developers out there who may wanna get in on this. I say go for it, competition is always a good thing! As long as the person or persons who release it first get the donations promised go for it. Moved to general.
Wow this why I like the Eris community better. No one asked for bounties, and everyone got along. This is ridiculous, when you bought the phone, you paid for what you got and if u want something else then wait till the devs do it at their own pleasure.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I don't like this idea and will be reviewing this thread with other mods.
If u want to donate u should look for a way too donate to slayer and his crew who r spendn a lot of their time to get this up and running for us..
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Also the donations for the Nook were never for a bounty. It was to get more devices to more devs in hopes of getting something going.
Sure.. while I'm at it, I'll also donate to your "Wedding fund", Which when clicked, takes you to your "Dev Phone" fund. Geez man.. how many donation scams are you running? lmao, get a J-O-B.
inb4 Op makes $200,000/yr has 3 houses and 4 cars and I'm a loser.
Yea i'd say shut this down and donate straight to cyanogen if you want.

Want a very powerful and highly supported rom?

Some of you may or may not know ckisgen, the developer of the Royal Ginger rom for the glacier. If you don't know of him or his rom, head on over to the glacier forums and take a look at how popular him and his rom is. He is an unbelievable developer and would push the g2x to it's max. He has agreed to develop for the g2x if we can all get together to get him a g2x. So if everyone wants to see this phone reach it's full potential, lets get ckisgen a phone!

Nothing has been donated yet. I want to start this thread to see if anyone is interested and then figure out how we would go about doing it. If everyone that is interested would say how much they are willing to donate, then we could figure out how to go about it. I have never done this before so I don't know if we just donate everything to him directly, or if there is someone highly trusted to gather all of the money for the phone and send it to ckisgen?
It's just a thought. He would be a great dev for this phone IMO. This thread is for everyones opinions and ideas about it.

I post here to expose all KANGs and calling them out. I have been a long time lurker of this forum. Currently they are too many KANG artists here on XDA diluting the quality of developers here. RoyalGinger, what kind of name is that? I've been following his KANG of CM7 for a while now. What has he innovated that wasn't already coded by Team Douche? People need to wake up to the fact that he simply re-compiles what Team Douche has already done. Now he's asking for donation so he can KANG Team Douche even more than what he's already done so with MyTouch 4G? Mark my word, he will NOT add any innovation to G2x forum if he "develops" for this phone. He will always "Kang" Team Douche's work again for G2x. If you guys want real innovation, donate to Team Douche instead of this "Kang" artist.
RoyalGinger, how cocky can one be by calling a CM7 kang as some kind of royalty. I would give him more respect if he calls it RoyalKang

I'm sorry but you do not belong in this thread. And before you go talking bad about developers and falsely accusing them of kanging, maybe you should do some more research. I used both CM7 and Royal Ginger and my phone had much better performance and stability with Royal Ginger. How about you talk to ckisgen directly before trying to ruin his reputation for some reason that doesn't even exist.

Haha, I love it when people claim how good the so call "kang artist" but without proof to back it up. He "optimized" CM7? What kind of "optimization" did he perform? Why do you need to optimize CM7 when it is already optimized? I am calling him out because so far he has not shown any proof he "wrote" code to optimize CM7 code. So show me what he did in the "code" to make RoyalKang better than CM7? Tweaking CM7 settings is not innovation. Now I throw the ball back to your court. Show me what he did to optimize Team Douche's work. This is open source correct? So your so call developer can show me his "code" that he optimized CM7 source code. Unless he shows people what he did to "optimize" Team Douche's code, I still stand by my claim. I love to be proved wrong, show me the code!

Well KangExposer has a point. I never owned the G2 but looking at the Royal Ginger thread there is no source code. Isn't that a violation of XDA's GPL policy?

What does "kang" mean?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Kang basically means to steal someone's work and say it's your own.
I just wanted to let everyone know that this guy who thinks he knows everything, really knows nothing. He is someone who is unhappy with his life and is taking it out on these forums. First of all, if this was something that was true, CM would have taken him down a looong time ago! This guy has been trolling the forums talking down on the developers, and has absolutely no proof or facts to back up what he is saying. I was following his posts, and happened to see that ckisgen also saw one of his posts in a different forum saying RG is a kang of CM7.
Please read what ckisgen had to say, this alone is proof that this guy is talking out of his arse:

Back on topic. We really need to get ckisgen over here! I have been rooting phones since the G1 and have NEVER used a rom on a phone that made it run as smooth and fast as Royal Ginger! And his kernels, unbelievable! He is an awesome developer. Not only does he make a great rom and kernel, he provides excellent support and really works hard to make everything perfect.
I love my new G2x, and cannot imagine it without Royal Ginger. This phone would become something nobody could ever imagine. Anything you would ever want in a vanilla Android rom, and from a developer.. ckisgen is the answer! I plan on having this phone for a while, and I'm sure a lot of you do as well. If when you bought your G2x and the T-Mobile rep or whoever you bought it from said for X amount of dollars extra we can make this phone a whole lot better and provide continuous updates and always be adding in the latest and greatest features, would you do it? I know I would.

ihtfp69 leaving XDA

With the recent efforts to get ihtfp69 a Thunderbolt, I was quite saddened to see him leaving XDA. However, he will be very active at http://teambamf.net/, and hopefully we can see Skyraider moving to our Thunderbolts soon.

There is no reason to worry where the ROM/mods will be released. Just follow rootzwiki or teambamf.net to get the goods.

With ihtfp69 you have nothing to worry about, he is a trusted respected dev. Not like a certain someone from the INC forums who people thought they could trust until he screwed a bunch of people over.

Naturally, I never intended my post to be regarded as asserting anything of the sort.
In my head, I meant to write a post that reflected more of what scuccia said, that knowing where he will be in the future, we can stay current and that I'm sure that everything will be fine.
I hope that clarifies.

i know RaverX3X has worked a lot on this rom, but since his thread was closed, i did not know if he was still working on it, he updated his other roms but i havent heard a thing from this one, i would like to know if he gave up trying.

that doesnt help
Just be patient, if he's still working on it, he'll probably inform us about it, if not, just keep waiting or accept the fact. I personally think he's still working on it during his free time, but he does have a quite a few roms out at the moment.

He is still working on it. He closed the thread because of the trolls. He is in school and working full time so he doesn't have much of the luxury we call free time.lol... Just be patient. Between krylon360, raverx3x and bhundven, as well as drhonk, we should be seeing something very soon.

Its funny I remember the last time source code was not posted when promised devs got upset and there was a huge dog-pile.
Per the rules here at xda source code should be posted. When can links be expected? .
By posting your work on XDA-Developers, you are agreeing that it complies with relevant licensing conditions. As such, by posting a kernel or other work containing GPL code, you are confirming to us that you have made this source code available publicly under the GPL, and should highlight this in your thread with a link.

It's no secret you have a beef with Erik, but really, going to try and call out "no source link", for an alpha build, when he's said he will get source for everyone to work with. If you are going to be that much of a stickler, then you better go through the ROM thread and find EVERY ROM that doesn't have a source link in the thread.
Seriously, go through every single ROM and post in that thread your little XDA link and quote, because otherwise it's shows your being petty against Erik and you're mad because the mod's keep deleting your posts or closing threads every time you start something. I just looked and saw 10 ROM's without source linked without even looking at Erik's releases, so go report all them too and post your quote.
He is not referring to ROM'S and ports, rather the kernel and CM10. er1kmm is NOT keeping it from people for malicious reasons. To imply otherwise is childish.You don't see ANYONE from TFQ releasing ANYTHING CM10. Please stop asking for ETA's. Grow up and stop whining.
Sent from a hole in the time/space continuum.
Actually this is something that is suppose to be released when the thread is started. So this eta is a valid one. It would be nice to have this code available so other people can look to see if they can fix stuff. I dont care when I beta release is made, I just care to see the source code posted. That is not a unreasonable request. This is a pretty major release and I know others are chomping at the bit to get it to start trying to fix some things.

Maybe, just maybe, there is something going on in er1kmm's personal life. I honestly don't know. Real life comes before XDA. Be yourself, report it, have any and all threads regarding CM10 deleted (including bhundven's which has been proven false, and his is now an "any other thread").
Edit: Not false, just no longer relevant.
I am not defending or going against anyone here, but the reason that I am asking for source is because I feel that once we have source, we will be able to fix a ton of issues. The more devs/helpers, the better.
And I am quite sure, since erik has promised us source, it'll be here soon enough.
