Hey guys, I would've just posted this in a regular ROM thread but since that Article that XDA wrote about the world-palm about making illegal Unlocking made me think this was worth sharing throughout XDA.
As the title says the White house is trying to legalize Unlocking phones.
Here is the article:http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=18649981
What are your thoughts on this?

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.

Is the S3 General forum now some kind of OT forum?
I'm waiting for the thread asking opinions on which hand to hold the phone with. :laugh:

Who wants one of those Samsung cameras? The ones with android. Why do you want one? I don't see the point in the thing, I don't see who would buy one from VERIZON and pay the ****ing data fee. I just don't get it. What is the appeal to own one of these?
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.

No idea, in the same boat.. I was gonna get it for a Christmas present for my gf but idk what the point is either. I do know Adam Outler rooted the thing which is pretty damn cool!

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.

Hey everyone. So I just read this morning on Techno Buffalo's sight that as of this Sunday it will be illegal to unlock your phone in the US!!! I'm curious to hear some feedback from people(espesially the devs) on what you may think this means for us as consumers and for XDA?? Do you think it will get to the point where you won't be able to post "how to unlock" forums and video's? Or will this just be another law on paper that doesn't really get enforced in any way?? Thoughts??

I was talking to EdgeHood about how I will be getting a Nexus 4 soon and would love for him to develop for it. There is one problem however; he doesn't have a nexus 4. This is where we come in. Together we can get this awesome developer one of the best phones out there and possibly get some awesome ROMs too. I will be donating at least $50. This means the goal to reach is ~$350 (this includes taxes and shipping)
EdgeHood has been doing some phenomenal work on the Galaxy S III with his Vengeance ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098437)
Donations can be made to Edge's PayPal here: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=SBTbfErWle9DJ0akgBcw098iFuBccE2WIpgzPISWTPuVr5iNGAT07R0NnhS&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8d0b7e678a25d883d0fa72c947f193f8fd
Come on guys we can do this!
Please post the amount of your donation so that I can keep track of it.
Thanks!!
You'd be better off doing this at the nexus 4 threads since generally we don't have the intention of going to that phone.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Youre going to have a hard time getting donations here.
you should start a thread somewhere more appropriate if you actually want to do this.
I have a thread in the nexus 4 forum as well. I just figured users of his Vengeance ROM might want to donate and will be able to see this in the S III forums more easily.
This is first and hopefully a last. A bounty for a phone that isn't even the same phone that the section it is in.
On top of it the Nexus 4 isn't even available on the same carrier we are all on.
Building Roms on the Nexus 4 will not help the S3 forum at all.
Um, yeah. I'll get right on that.

seriously though, the above posters are right that you are not likely to get any love here for a phone the vast majority of us have no interest in and is on a different character. A for effort, F for execution
The OP wants S3 users to donate a phone so a dev can develop on his new phone that none of us own. Doesn't sound selfish at all.
I would love a Nexus 4. Anyone want to donate one to me.
Well at least the OP won't have to worry about updating the thread with amounts. Should be easy to keep track of zero.
No offense to the great dev who is probably reading this thread saying WTF. If I was him I would post and say I do not support this message here. Lol
Edit.
We'd be paying for him to go dev on another phone??
Man get this thread outta here.

He does have a Rom in the dev section here. Not like that changes anything though related to this thread. Just a clarification.

I disagree, bounty thread can be great, like when we got the htc incredible 4g community a bounty s-off tester phone (within 3 hours mind you), which did play about 99% role in getting s-off (phone wise) from a developer standpoint it was unlimited.io team 100%. but without that phone, s-off may still not be on the htc inc4....
but this thread, poorly thought out.
Worst thread ever...

Does anyone know where I can find this now? After choosing to stop development on it, I guess Scott decided to completely remove the one x forum section from his site. I would ask about it in the thread but it's locked now.
My apologies if this kind of thing is frowned upon, but I really miss this rom. I tried Google and a couple searches here. I have no idea where else to look.

Here is one thing I noticed, there are plenty of posts complaining about where MM is and this is the only post showing that there is some progress and some people instead of being happy that there is progress, they complain here. So instead of complaining like a few people on here, I am going to actually thank the OP since I didn't know there was any progress on MM. There are a lot of people (me included) who just get their news from XDA. So I am glad to see that there is progress. I think the mod should clean this thread, as this thread is showing progress, not people complaining when the update comes because their $700-$800 phone is paperweight without the update.
Thanks for posting OP

Lol they've got their work cut out for them with all the complaints around here.
Also very excited about the progress, I used to always buy international variants but I've since found tmobile to be a cheaper variant to buy outright. I'm so excited, I know personally it'll take a while for me to use it. I dred going back to stock at any cost. I'll likely have the first flash able rom. But again one step closer for us is amazing news. Thanks OP!
LOL great news thanks OP

Ahh I got you. What the hell is there to complain about. I am right there with you though. If updates are such a huge deal that adults have to throw hissy fits about them then you shouldve sucked it up and went with a Nexus.
Just because Google released a newer version doesnt mean somehow your phone is magically useless.
Thank you all for understanding. I was excited about the news and decided to share!
