To whom it may concern....

As some of you may have noticed, I have been very inactive in the Android world over the past month or so. I wanted to take the opportunity to let everyone know what is going on.
My wife is 8 months pregnant, and starting about a month ago she has been having some issues. Nothing too serious, but it means we have to go to the doctor several times a week to make sure she and the baby are not getting worse. She is also not supposed to leave the house if possible. As much as I enjoy the playing around I do with Blackhole, my family has to come first.
The Baby could be born any time now, and I simply don't have the time to devote to Android like I used to. I will admit that what little free time I have left now goes to extra sleep (cause I know I won't be getting any for a while after the baby is born). Lets face it, I'm no Adrynalyn or Jcase. For me Android has always been a hobby, and I do what I do mostly for myself, but just decided to share it.
I do plan on getting back into things once my life has settled down a bit, and if something major happens (Official GB upgrade anyone?) I'll try to make the time to release an update, but don't expect anything from me for a while.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me with kind words, donations, suggestions, testing, bug reports, etc. over the past 9 months or so since I started developing on the Fascinate, and I want you all to know how much I appreciate you.

Good luck with the little one coming

Thank you for all the work you have done so far

Hope everything goes well for the rest of the pregnancy. That's is absolutely your first priority. The things will settle down a couple of months after your little one is here.

Good luck as you await the birth. I'll keep you and your family in prayer. Our first born turned 15 months this week and they really are time consuming, but so worth it.
It's good to see you have your priorities set.

I'm sure the community appreciates everything you have done. Good luck with your wife and child and your right, you probably won't be getting much sleep do nous a good time to catch up.

Family comes first man. Do what you gotta do to take care of them! Hopefully all goes well and you have a great healthy baby!

Good luck dude, family first

Thank you all, I'm glad you understand. That's one of the benefits of working with Android, a generally more mature community than the iTeens.

Psht aint that the truth!
I too am a military guy and my wife is about to pop with our 2nd daughter so I totally get the not much time thing. Again good luck with the new child! Exciting times are ahead!

Family first! Wise you are, hmm.

All the best & best of luck with the wife and child.... Thank you

Thank you so much sonofskywalker3 for all the hard work and contributions you have brought to the TB community. Best wishes and congrats to you and your family as well.

Really? If this is a mature audience, I'd hate to see an immature one.
Nothing against you and I hope everything with your wife goes ok, but a lot of devs for android are not even out if high school.

True enough, and we certainly have our share of drama queens, but overall I think the user base for Android, and especially those active in the Modding community, are much more understanding when it comes to the important things. Sure we've got people who will pitch a fit if things don't go their way, but I've seen nothing but support when I'm letting everyone know that I'm taking a major break. No "But wherez my r0mz dud3!!", just well wishes and genuine concern.

Thanks for all your work and I hope all goes well with you and your family. As a father of a 14 month old myself, it's good if you are already acclimated to getting little sleep. Who'd a thunk that developing would be good training for fatherhood!

That's cool. Take care of your family. Seems like there is quite the dev family here on the thunderbolt so I'm sure there will be plenty to play with in your absence.

Despite Miketoasty's distasteful example to the contrary, I still believe the Android community is generally mature...

No, it's not O2X either, so knock off the attitude.
That is the development page for the reference Tegra 250 kit, and it's been around for a long time.
The O2X/G2X use the Tegra 250 AP20H. Nvidia has already stated that it's up to LG to release code specific to our phones.
I was saying you should search because that link has been posted tons of times.

This looks legit, it was posted a couple days ago, read this:
http://developer.nvidia.com/content/android-40-ics-os-images-tegra-android-available
It includes this:
"Tegra Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) OS Image for Ventana"
The Tegra 2 "Ventana" development kit is targeted at developers creating software for Android 2.2 "Froyo" and above.
Hence, the "Tegra" it is talking about is Tegra 2

I agree. I mean realistically I'm sure the devs will be the first to know when source or drivers get released, but but don't squash a guy for being enthusiastic and trying to be helpful.

First, I would like to apologize for lowering to a level I have tried to remove from these forums. I have been in this game quite awhile and I've learned one thing for sure, being polite and helpful get the best results. I come originally from the lowly Huawei ascend and I'll tell you, that phone has a great community and still sees support and it hit eol more than 6 months ago. We as a group decided our own fate when WE pushed our devs to lock our ICS thread. This is our device and our forums and we are responsible for building a sense of community. As it is now, I cringe to check my own threads because I know they will be bloodgened with haters and "you're wrong, I'm right ". We should all try to encourage one another and promote how awesome our device is, which brings me to this... Why use these forums to bash the g2x? All the complaining and whining is why t-Mobile bailed out. I am a collision tech for highline vehicles, do you have any idea how much service a Ferrari requires to keep it running? I seriously doubt Enzo Ferrari endured customers calling to tell him what a pos his cars are(I know he's dead) Lastly, I happen to be a successful writer for another website, I happen to be a weath of knowledge with a lot of connections. I have been been working my butt off to help a certain group of devs get a certain app working on our device, all I'll say is those of us that are flashing addicts will appreciate this app. I get things done through kindness and support. I would love to see that sense of community here, lets face it, we ALL use these forums. Thank you so much all devs that have stuck it out with us, our device would be worthless without you, sincerely, artifintel.

Very well said. Although I don't think the "you're wrong I'm right" has a lot to do with the problem. I think the problem goes a little deeper then that.
I feel the problem lies more upon the greed of many users who for some reason think devs/themers owe them something. Developers and themers do this because we like to in our own freetime. We like seeing the page views, downloads, thanks, and constructive criticism that push us to go a step further.
I will give an example of how many of us that make releases look at things. And use my personal releases as reference.
My precision theme for all devices I own and some I don't own has about 6k downloads. Precision for cm7 has about 900. Icecreamcomb has a little over 3k. Weapon new clip has about 400. And a few thousand for all my wallpapers, boot animations, and other images I have created. So apparently a lot of people use my work which is what I hope for upon releasing, seeing as I want people to enjoy it as much as I do.
Look at my thanks meter. I have 210 thanks. So that tells me that out of the 10k+ people using my work only 210 (2%?) where grateful enough to take the liberty to click a button and show appreciation for my hours and hours of hard work. But hey that's fine at least some people do appreciate it and many more use it.
However there are always those that do nothing but troll and complain that drives everyone away. It is sad when it gets to the point that people stop developing for a device because of users. I find it quite astounding the nerve of some people.

I have noticed that there are a lot of Dev's and others posting things here that they do for no other reason than to share. Sure a lot of people want recognition, but at the end of the day no one makes money off of this. That's what the Play Store is for.
I'm sure a lot of people would agree that it is very sad that you can't go through many release threads without somebody getting mad at someone else, and worse, getting mad at the guy/gal who spent hours making something which they then shared for FREE.
I'm not going to sit here and spew the same crap about how people should get along and all that; you have parents for that. I will simply say, "thank you" to all of the developers, modders, themers and anyone else who made an honest attempt to contribute. Before you get frustrated and down, remember that for every person who makes a fuss and angers you to the point of violence, there are at least 50 other users who appreciate your efforts. Thank you for contributing to the community.

You do it basically for free and I would hope people like me, that use them, would simply say thank you. I will be honest, & let you all know that I am currently laid off from my job, and I can barely provide for my wife & son, therefore I have not been able to donate any money to help keep yalls moral up, but I hope that in the near future I can. But at the very least, I can say thank you for all you do. I have fun reading & learning from u guys, & as far as the people that complain...I wouldn't let it bother me if I were you, because there are A LOT more satisfied people than there are complaints!

Ahhhh! The joys of life
We all love to enjoy the work of others as if it were our own. It seems that as we use it ,we believe that it actually is ours {in my mind. Therefore to criticize is warranted and fair. [in my mind of course]. So don"t allow others to get to you. Developers do hard yet rewarding labor with mistakes , goofs, knowledge, and joys- provided that we who enjoy the fruits of their labor appreciate labor is involved and dissapointment is evident to them and us when problems arise. True joy is achieved when constructive comments lead to further development as well as real progress. If all were fired for goofs on the job all nations would be on the dole [if govts could afford it with no tax base]. Love your neighbor as yourself, especially in this case when he's working for free

oh im on that boat right now, it is difficult to begin into this whole development thing, i've been doing a lot of reading, coding samples on piece of paper, researching the forums for question that im sure were asked but most importantly as Saranhai said is the commitment, im down 100% to learn on my free time not only that but i do try, i really try hard to make this whole thing pay, i can modify apks, i already started creating themes for the theme engine in CM, my next step is theming a whole rom then after that i will learn how to compile from source, port and ultimately my goal is on the launcher, i would love to come up with a different UI as everyone else does at one point.
Sometimes people does not recognize the time you invest as a developer, i don't consider myself a developer as i do fairly basic things, probably my big mistake so far is not asking for help mainly because im afraid of rejection, i asked for help in the past (not on XDA but on another forum) and the dev just got his enjoyment to call me noob, rookie or every single word that is out there to just call me a novice after that i just decided to do not ask any questions and just learn by myself, yeah i have questions about many things and probably is better when someone with experience tells you what to do in case of errors but nothing like your own sacrifice.
i really hope this community gets better, as in any forum you will find people that is down to criticize your work in a good way so you can improve and then there are the a**holes who think you have to fix whatever error they have just because you have to.......Me? if you want an honest and constructive criticism i will tell you what's wrong and probably i wont tell you how to fix it as im fairly new into android development but i can do that, i can try your work and tell you whats wrong with it.

i really hope this community gets better, as in any forum you will find people that is down to criticize your work in a good way so you can improve and then there are the a**holes who think you have to fix whatever error they have just because you have to.......Me? if you want an honest and constructive criticism i will tell you what's wrong and probably i wont tell you how to fix it as im fairly new into android development but i can do that, i can try your work and tell you whats wrong with it.

Wow. Well, people are a little nicer around here, and you can always PM someone. But, like you said, if you learn on your own it's even better.

I hate when I take a dump and there's no toilet paper...just saying.
Teach yourself and get advice is the best way.

I did that the other day. My wife keeps the extra rolls in the hallway, so I had to do the ****e shuffle out to the hallway cabinet. Suuuucks.

[APP][4.0+] Rate Her: A wingman in your pocket

A buddy of mine and I published an app a week or so ago in the Android market. It is actually Android exclusive for now (specially because Apple denied it...too risky for them apparently?!).
The app is called Rate Her. It is actually a "jokey" app if you will. The idea is for users (mostly guys) to use it when they are out and about at a bar or something, with friends. They will see a girl and then they pull out the app. They will rate this girl based on the 5 essential women traits (you can guess what they are...) from 1 to 10. Then they will get a "general" rating of what the girl might be based on their input. When they get this general rating though, they will be asked how much they have had to drink. How many beers, drinks or shots? Based on this then, a special algorithm by BroScience* calculates what the "real" rating of the girl would be if the user wasn't hammered. So it is...essentially...a wingman in your pocket.
If anyone has any idea on how to better maker this app, we would gladly appreciate any input or help!
For now, go here to check out the free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opencabinetlabs.rateherfree
And most of all...let us know what you think!
Thanks!
*Disclaimer: BroScience isn't actual science, it is completely (for the most part) made up and results may vary. We are not responsible if you hook up with someone you thought was an 8 but is actually a 3.

Thanks! Looking forward to your thoughts.

The app is pretty neat. Easy to work UI. Can definitely see myself using this for a drinking game at the local bar!

Thanks!
and drinking game! I didn't even think about that! What kind of game did you have in mind? "Whoever rates her lower, takes a shot"? or what? Obviously for that one you have to expect guys to be honest haha or else they can just rate her pretty high for the heck of it....
Thanks for checking it out!

Each person rates one part. And if the number is higher than 7, everyone takes a shot.

Haha that is brilliant. I definitely have to tell others about that and try it out myself. You, sir, are a genius.
I wonder what other games could be made out of it. Somehow to punish just one person as well. I am liking this!

I agree with stkfigure, the UI is pretty simple and easy to use. I like it, I definitely see myself using it at the bars and even more with the game he suggested. Sounds like a lot of people will get drunk pretty quickly...ha!
I am curious, how long did it take you to develop it?

Well it was 2 of us. I personally developed the iOS version while my buddy developed the Android version. I worked on the iOS version around 2 years ago, and it took me like a week to get the "basics" of it done" ...but then design and everything took a few days... but then I let it sit there for 2 years until a few months ago. Then we re-did the whole thing, design wise specifically, and it took us "real time wise" like 3 months...but actual work wasn't more than a week or two between the two apps. So I would say in total...maybe 2 weeks of actual work, since we did it on our spare time.
Hope that answered your question and thanks for checking it out!

It does! Thank you for answering! I actually tried it last night after drinking for a little while, I rated a girl an 8.2 (I think that's what it was) and it turned out to be like a 5.8 ..yeah...I was a little plastered! Made me think to myself "yep, not doing it" and gave me a good laugh. My buddies asked me why and I explained, they laughed too and wanted to download it but they both had iPhone's. Sucks for them!

haha that's quite the drop man, I am glad it helped you a little.
And yeah, it sucks we haven't been able to release it for iPhone as well, definitely some market there as well can't deny that. But that's one of the perks of developing for Android, because trust me...trying to get Apple to approve it has been one heck of a pain.
Again, thanks a lot for using it. We appreciate it! Report back with any on the field usage if you have any more funny stories to tell us about!
