So, we all know that TW and Eugene recently got access to a full T-Mobile Vibrant Froyo leak. This means great things for our phones in the very near future.
We all also know that ebaitr8's Froyo was a complete hoax, and got us good. There was also some other user, who seemed to have contact with ebaitr8, and was displaying very odd behavior.
But what doesn't make any sense is the fact that our devs got the leak within hours of the whole ebaitr8 episode.
This can't be a coincidence... right?
I think there is definetly a correlation between the two events. What do you guys think?
elementary my dear watson....

why? we have the right to discuss this don't we?
It doesn't take much to put the pieces together. Delving into this too much in a public forum may end up jeopardizing future releases and possibly people's jobs.
Let's just be thankful for what we got and let this thread die, at least until official releases are available.

OH GOD, give me a break. Nobody's job is on the line, it's not that serious.
Yes, I too find it very odd that ebaitr8 turned out to be a hoax, yet just a couple hours later the devs had Froyo.
If the devs knew there would be a backup person leaking froyo anyway, why even entertain ebaitr8? Why give ebaitr8 so much attention and time?
I think ebaitr8 either did pull through and did send the system dumb, and the devs are just lying and covering it up, or something else happend. Either way it is very odd, and really, so stupid, nobody wants the first and last name of the person who sent it, its just froyo not secret intelligence.
Plus, isn't it so convenient the devs supposedly can't release the stock froyo? Forcing us to install their roms.
Just my thoughts, thats all.

ugg you need to read more about releasing things that will get ppl in trouble. All they could do is pull what they neeeded to get their roms to work. Does it matter where it came from? not one bit.

Really? You think that if you worked for T-Mo or Samsung that it wouldn't be that serious if you leaked the ROM? Would you risk your job on the chance that the ROM has watermarks and can be traced?
Someone leaked the ROM, and that person is being extra careful because it's possible it could be traced back to him or his workplace. If we want to continue to see unofficial leaks, it's best the community respect the wishes of leakers. Trying to "out" the leaker can only lead to one thing--a complete shutdown of people "on the inside" taking risks to help us.
Seriously, let's give it a rest.
I was just intrigued by the correlation between the ebaitr8 episode and the leak. Not the actual leaker.
just drop the issue its pretty obvious where the ROM came from........
dont make a big deal out of it so we can continue getting leaks in the future
JK2 is so far from being ready, I'm leary of it being ready any time in the near future for OTA/Kies updating. The SD card issues are annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoying, time consuming and could result in potential data loss. Other various problems.
The album art is FINALLY clear in the music player though! Love that!

*Edit*
I didnt see the original thread regarding the leak that was closed. I seen the tweet from noob the other night. The leak according to noob is very unstable and only given to a select few. Im glad it went to his hands first, to protect the source and in hope of putting out something stable. If not at least the source is protected and we me get a RC out of him later. Noobnl is great asset for the epic community and I think the bashing should stop and let them see what they can do. Hopefully they can put out a good base for other devs to work off of.
To noobnl
After reading through the op that's was closed you didn't really say much. Can you enlighten us as to this leak can be used for a rom soon or is it too unstable and ur waiting on another build?
lol the pic really doesnt prove anything.. these devs have skills and they can easily just put froyo in there..
he has a beta
ya dude.. he's the coolest kid in cool town right now.
noob is working on CM6 wich is a asop built from source based on froyo. that image is real as he got cm6 to boot but it is not close to being stable. last i herd the ffc didnt work, no data or wifi. give it some time and the guys over at cynogan will have froyo for us
I know hes working on cm...but thats a samsung build.

Yeah, it's a Sprint beta. It was leaked to him a couple days ago under the condition he wouldn't make it publicly available(to protect the source of the leak).

It was leaked to somebody else who gave it to him so he could do something about it.
The only reason he isnt leaking it to us is because every file in it is tagged with the name of the employee who gave it to him. so if he then leaks it, he is jeopardizing the job of that employee

Wait, so just out of curiosity, was it the employee who leaked it to him? or did sprint authorize it? Because, if they were smart, they would have authorized it but made it seem like it was a rogue employee/mischievous early adopter.

Yes, because its in Sprints best interest to leak a buggy beta version of a rom out to the general public and then have to deal with the inevitable "I dont know what happened, my phone wont turn on. Can you replace it?" people.
I'm a bit of a conspiricy theorst, so ill enter tain every one with a tale.
I think this may be an intentional leak on behalf of sprint. Maybe they were having some problems and needed a little help from the community. HTC has been doing it for years.Does anyone else think a total newbie starts an account here and within 4 posts is showing pics of his epic with froyo claiming to have gotten it from a sprint employee is or isn't really weird? Our own inside sprint guy whosdaman had never even seen this.
When said lurker is asked he says he ismore than willing to share, jut needs help to give it to us because to update killed his root and cwm. Underrstandable.
Also a perfect ruse....
Here is what sprint didn't know, nay, couldn't know.
I think 1 of 2 things could have happened here.
A. They didn't count on noobnl being a jerk who just wants profit from donations(or maybe not profit at all. Just for ego) via his rom which would be the first 2.2 or to incorperate elements of this. Now don't get me wrong. Noobnl is the man fo epic, but really, aren't we all a little bit selfish? I would totally love to be the guy the leak trusted. This could be true because the op in the first leak thread never ever mentioned any radio crashing issues or anything else. He iks using it as a daily with little or no problems.
Also he was tottally willing to just give it up because whosdaman promised no personal info would be in a dump. Even if there was, it could be removed be
the first source (moob and who's). There is no way to tie 1 employees name or id number t every single line of code is there? I don't know. I don't claim to be an expert. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty ignorant.
Noobnl culd have gotten it and said anything he wants. Personally, I don't think I've even seen noobnl say anything about privacy, just that its crappy. Just minions and whatnot have been putting that out there.
Or B. It was a crappy dump (double entendre) and rfeally is buggy and stupid because there was an error or something or who knows and really it is stable, because it really bugs me that the original leaker is talking about NO radio crashing or buggieness.
Or I'm crazy and short on sleep on this daylight savings clock set back one hour night. That's proly it.
I hope you were entertained.
ONCE AGAIN: NO DISRESPECT TO NOOBNL! HE IS THE MAN WITHOUT A DOUBT. JUST YOU NEVER KNOW, YOU KNOW?

no its not, then we would have hundreds of threads in teh dev forum asking how to use odin and why things arent working etc etc. how the leak got out is much more important then everyone have a crappy version of it 2 weeks in advance.
Well, that little bit of action would at least be more exiting that this board hs been lately. A lot of evo owners coming over to brag how much development they have bec,ause open source means opensource over there and a dev would never hold out a leak from the community. Idk I'm just talking you know. I guess starting a little convo.
A lot of people are acting like noobnl is protecting some super secret inside source.
The kid came on at 5 in the morning and said first person to help me dump this gets it. It was just who was in irc at the moment.

I thought your spam was concise and detailed enough so that it didn't warrant a concise and detailed response as to why Google is being tight lipped about their upcoming intellectual property release.
I think they were somewhat revealing at the I/O.
Whenever I start longing for gingerbread I just thank God I don't have a Samsung vibrant, they're still waiting for froyo which was supposed to come like a month ago. I'm just happy to have a Samsung so I avoid Samsung's proverbial "jerk around". By the time they get froyo we will he knee deep in gingerbread. Poor bastards

Android is supposed to be open. At least that is what I heard.
Also, developers might find information regarding future releases and resulting API changes useful, ahead of time.

Open doesn't mean spread eagle.
That's about it for me. But first a point or two.
Why I came here, what I hoped to provide and why I'm done:
I will be the first one to acknowledge that TW have this thing down way better than I do! I am running Nero Beta 3 as I am typing this! It would have taken me forever to come up with a 2.2 mounting fix, FOREVER. Even more, they were kind enough to give me my own repo on their site. They have been great to me and I have learned so much from them.
BUT, I wanted to provide a little variety for people between the Eugene/Master/TW releases. I think I did just that.
Mjollnir: My first try at a rom, nothing more that just a really, really big theme.
sXe: My second try which included backwards compatible framework.
Volholl: My JK2 / JK6 / JL1 Hybrid
Volholl Valkyrie: Pure JL4
Volholl Ragnarok: Only known 2.2.1 port released for Vibrant, with working wifi and gps - even with the signal related soft boot bug, I was the only one brave enough to put it all on the line and release it,
Volholl PepperKake : Pure JL5 with all images, sounds plus, plus ripped from Nexus S dump
How is it so easy to criticize someone who spends countless hours putting something together for you for free? When you have done nothing for the community other than demand more?
As far as I know, everyone respects sombionix, yet even he has had to come on here and defend a stock release because everyone kept complaining that it MAY have included TW init - which it didn't.
So, that is my rant.
I will continue to release Roms, Themes, whatever you decide to call them - they just won't be posted on XDA for a while, or ever..
Sorry to see it came to this man since I think you have provided some really useful stuff. Sad how people feel the need to troll and criticize things needlessly but I will continue to follow you else where.
Woahhh... Wait, what happened.? I got back within the hour from being with family on Christmas.. More people trolling & flaming people? Didn't we just have a town hall meeting?
Yeah but some people just don't appreciate the hard work of you guys. All they do is come here and complain over little insignificant things because they apparently font get enough attention at home. I don't blame heathen at all for dumping this place. Good thing I can still use his stuff on tw forums.

I am new to this forum and I was lucky enough to grab your Nexus clone for the Vibrant. I absolutely love this rom. That is all.
Honestly, the Vibrant section of this site is going to hell with all these pr*cks pissing off those that actually do something for others. These are the worst of the worst, because not only do they not do anything, but they keep others from doing work as well. Do we really have to be such a$$es while offering criticism?

Thanks for being real. I feel the same way bro. I feel your pain. But I am not surprised. Maybe some of the guys can ask Lonny Claus for his version of gingerbread.

Thanks Steve. I didn't know that was the case. I thought several users here had access to it.
I am so disgusted with SamSprint it is disgusting. The worst part yet is that I feel that I have no options. I like Samsung technology (specifically the large AMOLED screen in combination with the physical QWERTY), but with attitude that Samsung and Sprint have in releasing software updates (the attitude of I got your money already), it is REALLY discouraging. I wish we had other options because I would GTFO of this phone QUICK and never buy another Samsung phone again.
ALSO, all of this in combination with Samsung and Sprint's complete lack of communication on the matter. No status updates, confirmations, NOTHING. SOOOOOOOOOO tired of this business model, and nothing on the horizon that looks better.
The Galaxy S is an awesome phone no matter which variant you have. Yes we don't get the up dates as quick as we should, I put it on the carriers(refer to the I9000 section on samfirmware and you'll see what I mean). If they'd let some members of xda do their updates they'd be a lot stablier and out faster.

It is pretty clear from all of the posts that I have read, that getting GB from his phone is nothing short of a lost cause.
That said, we shouldn't need to do this kind of reverse engineering crap to get the software off his phone to get it to the people that want it.

I am sorry that you think it is ok for companies (Sprint/Samsung) to treat THEIR CUSTOMERS this way. You know, the same customers who pay the salaries of the employees of their respective companies???
I am also sorry that you don't find this ridiculous delay, and this non-communication as acceptable, and as something that doesn't warrant complaining.
Instead, you chose to complain about my post. Good use of your time. It is YOUR passive attitude which is what allows these exact delays to occur. GOOD JOB!
BACK ON TOPIC:
I guess it wasn't in the playbook this week?
Dude, for real? Grow up. We've gone this long without official GB, it's not like the phone is unusable without it.

I simply don't understand how so many people think it is OK for a consumer to be treated this way by the company they are supporting. This is NOT OK. Instead of being passive about the entire situation, why not be more vocal???
Funny thing is, if you pacifists would actually read what I post, you would see that I am not even necessarily asking for GB tomorrow. I would be thrilled just to get some communication from these companies. Stop keeping the PAYING CUSTOMERS in the dark. Let us know what is going on.
If more people spoke up, maybe these companies would change their tune a little, but nooooooooooo, people are ok with not getting updates in a timely fashion, with no communication from the companies that will ultimately provide said update.
Unless GB is gonna make my phone physically do my job for me I don't see it as that big of a deal. The devs have made this phone kick ass but in essence its just a phone that's fun to mod. I just don't get all the anger. Besides that I'm running eh17 with one of the new kernels from source and it is running great. (Although it still doesn't do my job for me)

I simply don't understand how so many people think it is OK for a consumer to be treated this way by the company they are supporting. This is NOT OK. Instead of being passive about the entire situation, why not be more vocal???
Funny thing is, if you pacifists would actually read what I post, you would see that I am not even necessarily asking for GB tomorrow. I would be thrilled just to get some communication from these companies. Stop keeping the PAYING CUSTOMERS in the dark. Let us know what is going on.
If more people spoke up, maybe these companies would change their tune a little, but nooooooooooo, people are ok with not getting updates in a timely fashion, with no communication from the companies that will ultimately provide said update.

Spoke up to WHO? XDA Developers forum?
And no one is keeping anyone in the dark. We weren't guaranteed ANYTHING. We have been getting leaks (read: unofficial builds), and that's it. Nothing has been announced. We'll get it when we get it. Were we even TOLD we were getting Gingerbread by both Sprint and Samsung? I don't think so. We are all speculating release dates, 2.3.x builds, playbook leaks, etc.
Was it not normally not fated that our A500’s where going to be the first devices with an update to ics? I see that the asus eee-pad now also had an update on a date that surprises everyone! Why can acer not do it so quick?
And could somebody say now the exact date of the update on our device please and not the fake polish forum threads with fake dates ?

acer never said it would be the first to get ICS, they said the update would be in January and the media jumped on it being one of the first. If you think it is easy for updates to roll out then by all means apply for a job with acer, but personally I'd rather have it tried and tested with good quality assurance than the usual buggy crap put out by communities such as this.
I'm Sorry Alienwithin, did you not read the name of this site - XDA-DEVELOPERS...
If you think the roms that the devs are kind enough to share are buggy and crap then please feel free to bugger off...

Acer will deliver ICS to us in 21 days, 13 hours, 23 minutes, and 12 seconds
I will get here when it does. Worring about it it's not gonna make it faster. The last thing I heard is that will be either this month or the next, so just sit and wait like the rest of us.

Kind enough to share or not, most custom roms ARE buggy and garbage. I'm very picky about my custom roms, and the iconia community is lucky that most of the roms are from the same couple people who know what they are doing and update with bug fixes when one is found. The g2 community? Not so lucky, lots of trash roms available there.
Let me put it this way, if i make a dinner that commonly causes people to puke and serve it at a homeless shelter should they just be glad i brought food or should they tell me it was disgusting and made them vomit? Same with roms, if it sucks, it sucks.

I set a timer on the numbers you gave us, and if I hadn't got the ICS update from Acer when that timer expired, I'll sue you in small claim court on Mars.
Just contacted acer live support, someone called Uma Mahesh responded that it will be available in february. Also he or she said that it will pop when it is available. I couldnt take a screen shot, so no evidence. But if u are curious u can ask too, they are quick for answering.
hopefully in feb. asus and archos are already scheduled for a feb. ics release.

Then go out and make your own.... Just remember what you said, and make sure you leave time for your family, university(if you go), your job and other commitments...
This is a developement forum... The devs are doing this at the expense of their time and effort. Some are VERY good at what they do, others are just experimenting and trying to improve.... They rely on our feed back as much as we rely on them NOT to brick our devices, however, accidents can, and will, happen...
Now, back on track...
Can't wait for the ICS upgrade and to see what will get cooked up... Just from reading this is a big thing from the developers perspective.
Liking the fact I can use the bio-metric lock...
Hoping it comes out soon as it's like christmas eve, having all the presents to open but having to wait til the morning... I know, I'm just a big kid....
My question is does anyone know if you will be able to naturally move apps to the SD with the update. Or is this just another Acer mystery?

The above information is True to the best of my knowledge. If you are a disbeliever its due to the fact you were programmed to think such lies..
Stop with the Lies lies lies .. i tell you its all lies

We have women mechanics... pSSSSSSSSS ....
I dont want to turn this thread in to a this type of discussion. But Yes there are some jobs women Should not due because of physical ability.. We are just not as strong as men.. I can say this because i struggle with lifting and so at my VERY Male type job.. but working on CARS IS NOT One of those jobs..
A short skirt and a smile can get a guy to do anything im not able. And they will enjoy doing it..
Giggles..
