Decide the winner of the Galaxy S3 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

We had several great entries in the BASH Obsfucation contest. We asked for results in the irc.freenode.net #VerisonS3 and #VerizonS3-Dev chatrooms. These results were inconclusive. Now you decide: Who wins the Verison Galaxy S3.
We narrowed down the results to 4 final entries. Now you decide who wins the $600 Verizon Galaxy S3. You decide who will be the next Galaxy S3 Developer.
Entry #1: hsz# http://goo.gl/zkDg5
Entry #2: llwarta http://goo.gl/KBlvw
Entry #3: mrcinsf http://goo.gl/SKdTY
Entry #4: zdeveloper http://goo.gl/gv5yA

What does this mean for us dumb folks? Lol
Not sure how to pick a winner based one what is linked?

Oh, I missed the contest, but will happily submit a vote.

Pick a winner based on whatever. JordanKeyes and myself have reviewed the entries. Each of these entries are skilled developers. So, in order to abstract ourselves from playing favorites, you decide which developer you would like to win the Galaxy S3.

Nice . Some skill set here . :good:

How exactly do we choose

You vote.

Are any of these guys on Verizon? Also, why are they all new? There was no XDA established devs in the running?
It is hard to choose if you do not know who these guys are. We really need an RIL dev for the Verizon S3.
It is definitely cool of you to give one away though.

My favorite too. I just thought I should mention that you were one of the final 5, but the "bc" command is not in bash or busybox.

Hmm, You could try this person. He was working on reverse engineering samsung's ril for i9250, Though the hardware is quite different I'm sure he can help.

Number 3, from mrcinsf, seems the rather obvious winner to me. His obfuscation seemed the most well informed, using a fairly complex cipher. The ascii fun and simple animation work are also a plus, but not important to the contest.
I can expand on all the entries later if anyone wishes me to do so, but number 3 gets my vote unequivocally.

So being that the poll is closed, was the phone already shipped to the winner?

You should have said that this is not your app at the very top of the thread. You're going to get thanked and bugged for support requests because of this.
Also, if it's on Rootzwiki and not XDA, there may be a reason for this. I would have asked the original dev of this app for permission before posting it here.
This is great.

Hey everyone, this is the app dev. No worries about the post. I don't mind. It might not be a bad idea to take it down so that I can put another one up that I can keep updated though.

No real reason why. More that when I originally posted, I didn't think the app was far enough along for the increased exposure of XDA

I would definitely agree with you. A file explorer without root just doesn't cut it. However, for now I need to get the UI and basic file operations in order first. To do otherwise would be a bit cart-before-the-horse. Rest assured I am working towards it.
To finish up, I'm going to host a hangout on G+ via the product page at 7:00pm E.S.T. tonight. Let me know if anyone is interested in joining. I plan on picking peoples' brains about design choices, future features and the pecking order of my work list.

In that case: I really like the future default skin. Only adjustment I suggest is an option for smaller fonts and images so more information is shown in one screen.

Hercules user here?

Would flashing one of the skyrocket 4.0.4 be worth while? Obviously would flash Hercules kernel and rotation/build prop fix.
simple solution, try it. Everyone's opinion is going to vary, so I highly suggest u form your own. Good luck.
Just looking for some feedback from people that have been using latest ICS update
If your looking for a best rom thread our mods won't allow it and I will report it just test for yourself

Angry much ^^^ do you know how to read? I'm asking about general opinion of 4.0.4 vs our 4.0.3 ICS. I've been around xda long enough pal. I know how things work. Why don't you take your 1 1/2 months on xda and the 1/10th of my posts and contributions and go bother someone else!
Second account bro sorry
And your thanks are a bit low you must suck as a member for that many posts

So thread locked for a few reasons. Asking for a good rom is relevant to every one person and what one thinks is good doesn't mean you will like it. Second wrong section. And since you know how to port it there is no reason for this thread.

Week off?

Hi there,
Is anyROM team planning to release something significant in the next week, or can I rest my twitchy flash finger?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well, this thread should be interesting......
FYI, asking for ETAs is kinda the xda equivalent of crapping the bed.
As for if there will be releases this week: maybe. Sometimes the devs like to give us a little Christmas present. But don't forget that they are people too and this is one of the busiest weeks of the year for many people.
Wow, I didn't mean to actually ask for anything - certainly not ETAs. More kind of a gag.

I think the idea of the galaxy camera is that people love the convenience cellphones provide for in allowing your photos to be shared to social media platforms. The problem is even the best phone cameras are still phone cameras. The galaxy camera retains the social networking convenience and introduces a nice camera (optical zoom) onto the equation. Curious how Google+ just recently allowed for full quality photo uploads eh?

This is the problem with xda. Not you. Personally i think you did nothing wrong. You were simply asking if anyone knew if a significant release for a ROM was being planned for this week. You weren't asking for someone to make a ROM, you weren't asking for an eta. Instead everyone decides to be incredibly disrespectful toward you. Maybe op didn't want to go through every single ROM thread over the past 5 or so pages looking for posts by the dev.

I know that this happens....but I don't think that this is the case here as no one was outright disrespectful to OP nor is a future ETA or release something you can generally look up in past threads.
Oh well, relax and drink some nog. We should try and get a forum game running over the holiday. Mafia anyone? =)
Ok, here's all I meant: I love xda and the developers. I flash like crazy and keep finding something better as one Rom leap frogs the other. So I was tongue in cheek asking for a break from flashing, to save me from myself this week, not for what to flash next.
Hold phone with my left hand, even though that's considered rude in some cultures.

Dizzle1 from Androidforums...NOPE

I have recently contacted a rom developer from androidforums.com named Dizzle1. He has agreed to try and port his Cyanoid project over to the Sidekick 4G. What is Cyanoid?
A: Cyanoid is a Custom rom currently Available For many different devices that targets optimization and beauty.
What is the goal of Cyanoid:
A: To make low-end devices usable and high end devices more pleasant.
What is in Cyanoid
A: Cyanoid started out as a simple rom for the ZTE Warp then extended to the Toshiba Thrive. Cyanoid packs init.d scripts, hardware acceleration,full GPU Rendering, Custom Kernels, Ramdisks exclusively themed recovery images and a lot more.
Hopefully, he can lend a hand at compiling a kernel and taking the SK4G to a higher level.
Sounds awesome!
I'll be happy to try it out once he has something ready.
I told him to forget it. The device is dead....now it's all up to bhundven.

Please don't take this the wrong way... I really mean this in the nicest possible way. An edited build.prop wasn't what I was expecting when I read "sneak peak". These threads are designed to drum up excitement for the new roms. I'm not familiar with Team NOS. I like the name though. This was meant as constructive criticism not in anyway trying to insult you here. I just think it would have been more exciting had you shown more than "Sense 7" and a rom name in your pic. Good luck though... looking forward to seeing it.
Let's say that on the team is @Newt who was a great dev back on the HTC Rezound that I use to have
