I wouldn't reccomend going there from your phone as it looks to me like a phishing scam of some sort. My question is, is this in fact what a phishing scam or a virus of some sort and if so what app launched it? Id hate to have to master reset as I've finally got that mik rom set up the way I want it. Thanks in advance!

I posted this in Android software development q&a as well to make sure that the word got out to as many people as possible in case this is a phishing scam or virus of some sort.

My advice is to have Lookout installed on your device. It really does a good job, and it's free on the Market

Thanks man. I just reformatted and reinstalled lol

Faux has been revoked

So apparently faux's recognized developers status has been taken from him. Anybody no why, he seemed like a legit dev to me? In fact I know he was, any insight to tease my curiosity would be appreciated.
His bad ass rom and kernels had to many people leaving CM.
Actually I have no idea. But it wouldn't surprise me. XDA kinda suckles at the teet of CM. I'm sure some CM dev cried up a storm because faux did things better and xda folded and stripped him.

Im with calamus. Or maybe something he did on one of his projects he wasnt 100% truthful. I have no idea. Im cyanogen for life but I love fauxs kernels.
Sent from my cyanogenmod, warp speed edition phone. Dont be jealious!
I dont think its just Faux...correct me if Im wrong but I think other devs have lost their status just look through the development section, the majority of them have been ripped
What the hell! I would like to know also. I do love CM but faux is fantastic

This can't be true.... ?
I believe faux is qualified, ive seen others devs who have done less with the status, making me think something else is wrong. Maybe he needs to be a dev longer for the status.

His status is under review as a result of an incident on the forums, which he is aware of and co-operating regarding.

Quick Announcement:
CyanogenMod Team has added Apache License 2.0 to many of their files which I have borrowed and modified for my Nexus ROM, so they have kindly asked those who used their code to display their license notices.
I have modified and incorporated their updates to Settings.apk to display all the CyanogenMod licenses in order to comply and give credit to CyanogenMod team's effort and contribution.
Here's a screenshot of the updates.. This is still work in progress (for version 1.2.7 and beyond), once CyanogenMod has completed their license updates to their own releases, my ROM will also display all the appropriate licenses.
BTW, I am taking a break from android for a while, I am going to pick up my guitar lesson again. Android has taken up quite a bit of my free time and I want to get back to my practice (I really suck at playing guitar, but I still want to learn it).

wow perhaps we all should start up a new AA group (ANDROID's Anonymous) but take it easy Faux, enjoy your break man. hope you start shreddin like Slash lol
I don't even have programming knowledge and I can't put my freaking phone down. I can't even imagine how bad it must be for someone with "mad skillz" like faux.
We do hope to see you back soon though faux. And thank you for your fantastic kernels and roms.

Nothing, he's leaving XDA but he will be on the BAMF forums from what I've read.
Any link to bamf forum? I tried Google but no luck.

I said this in the Inc forums, I don't know what's making him leave here to go to some dinky forum.
It's the new cool kid hang out, duh
Maybe he, like others, has grown tired of the attitudes here. Xda is not the end all be all of forums, nor is it the entire android community. Perhaps he felt it was more conductive to the development of his roms to move to a forum where they do not allow things to be named after drugs and heinous crimes while banning people over mentioning god.

I find it so ironic when ppl talked smack about one dev "taking his toys (roms) & leaving the playground" and then another dev left xda with a device that was obtained with the help of xda donations. Sure, once you buy something you can do what you want with it, but that is quite literally "taking your toys & leaving the playground". I would have been so pissed if I had contributed to that.

Was it done so that he could dev for the thunderbolt or dev strictly for Xda. If the first, well he is doing that, simply on a site he has more control over
sent from my bolt
Just cause they left xda does not mean they stopped their work, is it oh so difficult to subscribe to their private forum? Or does it have to do with the fact most of the people here feel they are entitled to have it the way they want it or not at all, our are you just that lazy? Dam 1500 people havd followed them already, just like chingy had every right to do what he did, just because you want it your way doesn't mean you are gonna get it.

As I said, once you buy something it's yours to do what you want with. Yes, you can find the dev elsewhere, and one can only assume he will continue developing for a device that was at least partially funded with donation money. But it's the principle of it all. Donations to devs *after* a software project has been released is one thing. Donations to a dev with the stated purpose of obtaining a device -- and the implied expectation of developing for the donating user base -- is quite a different matter. Maybe I'm the only one who sees it this way, but if I had donated to help buy a phone for someone & they left that forum, I would feel used & abandoned, and proly a little resentful.
Just sayin'

This is a bit ridiculous. Where in the bounty thread did it say all ROMs/mods you develop for the Thunderbolt are to be exclusively released on XDA?
He is still working and if you are running a sense ROM right now then you are probably using at least one of his mods right now.
Just wait a bit and see what he has in store, and chill out about where the files will be released.

Generally when you advertise on a website for donations, you give that website the benefit of the doubt with your release/loyalty.
But no, just ask for donations through a proxy then leave the site.

Question about cheesecake...

Been using it daily and loving it!
But how is it legal? I've always appreciated XDA's no Warez standards, and just wondering about this.
I mean these are Motorola's private servers that we aren't supposed to have access to and we're basically... Ahem... hacking into them. Just with a phone app. Looking for stuff Motorola has not yet released yet for a reason.
Feel free to delete/moderate the heck out of this thread if i'm in over my head, opening a huge can of worms, or should just shut up.
I'm just curious as to others thoughts.
PS: seriously. delete this thread if necessary.

Fine by me. You've been banned from this site a half dozen times, and each time you've broken the rules and created a new account to sneak back here. You act like an ass and disrespect the forum.
Hope you'll return to sidekick development some day!!!
GOOD LUCK :good:

Not quite sure I care what you think. I was banned unfairly and but a few see that. In any case, I have tons of people who enjoy the ROM. Instead of being a deadbeat jackass, contribute to the community you leech from.

Yup, I've read through all the drama .. it was very entertaining but either way, I don't care who did what to who, etc ... Jin's been helpful to me and quite a few other people and is the last dev standing (so it seems) and for that, thank you! Good luck with the S2 & come back soon
Not up to you to decide if you were banned unfairly. That's for the moderators to handle. You could have acted respectful and took it up with them. Instead you've been a **** and repeatedly forced your way back on. As a result I don't trust your work. If you're willing to act like a spoiled brat and disregard any rules that don't suit you, how do I know you haven't done something like installed a back door in your ROM? Maybe you haven't. But perhaps you can see why acting badly can damage your reputation?
I don't care what one member thinks. I do what benefits me and the community. Don't trust my work, everyone else will remain ahead. A Backdoor on an Android device? Considering the ROMs kernel was developed by nxd you're saying you don't trust him. Regardless, any back doors are easily found by
scanning the .zip and I'm very secure and have not had one alert. Here's a hint, only post in threads where your opinion is valued, because in this thread it is not.
Anyways guys for future changes I'm working on battery life.

Nice, thanks. And screw that guy haha, he wasn't a ****, reviewers and reactor was... they did crap, jin had done more in usefulness compared to QQ. He went as far to have his roms copyrighted. Well, thanks jin!

Reactive shamelessly copied and stole all of his work and had the nerve to put "Don't kang my sh*t, bro" on every other line.
Working with the mods didn't make him any less of a jerk or thief.
Just doing what any open source lover and supporter would do.

Shut up u dumbass u are the one that sounds disrepecful right now. And you don't trust his **** well I have been running his rom and it is the most stable one I have found. Maybe he did brake some rules and got banned but the way I see it the mods don't really care about the sk4g and how the forum is dieing. So yeah he might have broke some rouls and **** but it was to help us and keep the sk4g alive when everyone eals baled. Some times rouls need to be broken. The needs of the meany outweigh the wants of the few.
To the last sidekick.... thanks!!! U have been our robin Hood.
Ps guess u never found out how to get the sound working??

Any roms working on vzw SCH-i705+

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

Yeah, I can be a little sarcastic. But he DID say people like me used to be super active then disappear to play video games and aren't helpful anymore. Not that we have a life and are actually, you know, devoting 12+ hours a day sometimes 6 days a week to working full time and advancing our education...

Uh,,,,, that would be a NO then.because none of those lead to a working Rom or a working anything for that matter,,, development for this particular device is dead......that was why I made my remark...because most of you guys go to great links to impress yourselves but add very little to helping any of us that aren't as savvy,,,,, that's pretty cool animation but I see you really haven't followed any of those links in that real cool way to say nothing.....

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
