Why my releases now say "Not Available"..

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?

I have a pretty short memory. I do get mad but it doesn't last forever. I'm testing the next release of the pulled rom right now with the new audio and gps settings and the crt shutdown sequence.

I know I am really enjoying your latest rom. Out of all the roms available yours is the one I am using.

gotta say, i've never flashed one of your roms, but don't stopping making them available.
some people are douches and don't deserve what the community does for them.
what have they done?
just keep on keepin on. if for no other reason than you are, i'm sure, learning a bunch of cool **** and having fun.

Thanks for the awesome support Vibrant community!

I've officially handed my Vibrant down to my wife, and in the process I had to ODIN back to stock. HOLY SH!T nuggets, how in gods name did I forget how laggy and slow the stock rom was? And just as I began cursing the phone, I realized just how kick ass all of our devs for this phone have been. I mean just downloading software updates made the phone unusable, and navigating between screens and menu's seemed to be taxing the phone. How could the worlds largest electronics company build such a great device, yet a turd at the same time? I mean this thing is/was like a ferrari with a Mazda5 engine. (I own a Mazda 5, and lets just say it could be peppier). Then out of nowhere our devs showed up and saved the day.
When I got this phone, I had just came off of a G1 (day 1 owner and proud of it) and after having so many issues with flashing roms on that phone I swore I would try to hold off as long as I could before rooting this phone. How was it that I only lasted 2 hours before I ended up rooting the device?
For the one or two of you out there who haven't yet flashed a non-stock rom, grow some balls and get on with it already. You'll be amazed at just how fast your little device can run.
That's it, thanks guys. I'll still be here as I'm going to re-root and flash CM7 back onto it once the mute issue is 100% taken care of. Now onto my new HTC toys. Sammy left a bad taste in my mouth twice already, #neveragain.

The new cm7 nightly seemed to have fixed the mute issue for me (or supervibe7)
Anyways good bye have fun with your phone.

Yeah I agree, but the only thing lacking now is battery life and gps.

for some the battery life is great and for some its not!

your welcome

Agreed, the Vibrant Dev Community is awesome!
As for the mute/unmute issue, I still have it with #34. Guess its just hit or miss...

Coming from the Moment....

What's up guys...Just thought I'd drop a line and let you know I'm excited to finally have an Evo. Unfortunately it's the 2.3.3 that I bought from a buddy on the cheap in mint condition so I didn't have to use an upgrade.
Had rooted and flashed the hell out of moment nonstop so I'm anxious to see the exploit soon for 4.24. I've been on the XDA community for a while now just reading as SDX would love to port over themes that you guys had over here.
Anyways, thanks for the knowledge I've already seen from the users in this community just by reading through so many threads you guys have put up.

Welcome. Former Moment owner here as well, also stuck with 2.3.3.

Sucks doesn't it? Man, I will say this, the devs for the Moment were awesome and they made the Moment 10x what it should it have been. That being said though, even a stock GB Evo kicks the **** out of it that's for sure.
But I loved my Moment strictly because of the guys at SDX and can't wait for the devs here to kick the door open on 4.24 so we can start playing again.

I agree. I enjoyed the Moment a lot but traded it toward this one when I was vacationing in Florida last month and could not get a gps lock to save my life. The last ROM I ran was Keylime. I see they ported a new 2.2 update for the Transform.

I had the worst luck with the moment. I went through three cuz theyre aweful phones with tons of glitches. Then they said they discontinued the moment so i got the intercept. Just as bad. Now im here with my wonderful evo

Fellow Moment owner/Dev here, too! Matter of fact, my old Moment just got sold by the guy I sold it to the other day, so it's still kicking. Most under appreciated phone ever.
It sucks you guys just coming onboard with the Evo are handcuffed with out root yet, but patience will prevail! And once you get it unlocked, be ready for a whole new world, compared to the Moment. Fortunately, a stock Evo is a hell of a lot better looking than a stock Moment!

Seriously? I think it's one of the worst I've owned. I'd rather have my TouchPro2. In fact, for a while I had both and often left the moment at home.

This thread brings a tear to my eyes. You mean, OP, that you actually took the time to read some of the information in our forums?
Hopefully we get more users like you in time. Welcome!

The Moment was hit or miss, but by under appreciated, think of any other phone that's been off the market for a year, and people are still actively dev'ing on it. I never had probs with mine. It was always good.

I have to agree. I love my Moment, it was just getting a little long in tooth. My son is currently using with DC13s ROM. The Evo is an upgrade though.
And OP, welcome to the Evo world. Be careful though. The otaku here are worse than the Apple fanboys.

Hell, I was one of the fortunate ones that had a Moment that didn't give me any issues. The only real issue I ran into was moving to 2.2 EB and losing my GPS capabilities. GPS always worked perfect when on 2.1 but that jump to 2.2 always killed my GPS period.
HipKat, I remember seeing you all over the SDX boards and there are thousands of your posts that helped me with my Moment, so many thanks for that.
GitHub, I remember seeing you on SDX as well and yes, I like to lurk and read before I post anything on boards. That being said, I knew the unfortunate circumstance of jumping to a 4.24 EVO even before I bought it, but as stated earlier, even a stock EVO is better than the maxed out Moment. But you DEVs over there at SDX made that phone astounding compared to what it was stock.
I'm just sitting like everyone else waiting for the geniuses to crack this 2.3.3 EVO....in due time.

TBH, I flashed back to my Stock/Rooted nandroid the other day, and it's not so bad, really. Of course, I was only there for a few mins to clear my GPS before flashing MIUI! lol
Glad I helped people out over there. Like here, I jumped in the pool headfirst!

Ditttto. Former moment here man name was Sgtstew76 over yonder at sdx. Man welcome over bro, GREAT PEEPS HERE IF you search before posting lmmfao.....
Hey are u rooted on that thing? Oh no...... well sit back and hold yer breath like the REST OF US......

I am still over at SDX but use the handle DarkPhoenix. It was already taken here it seems, so I used my secondary handle.

Thanks to mazwoz

So, I am a new user to XDA, but am by no means a newbie developer. PHP, PERL, C+, .net, powershell, you name it.
I wanted to give thanks to Mazwoz, as that poor soul has received the most ridiculous amount of trash talk for no reason. Also, a thank-you for his service (assuming he is enlisted and not a contractor).
Anyways, thanks to MazWoz for your work, and I hope that this silly 10 post minimum garbage goes away.
Otherwise, I guess I'll just post 10 more threads about how silly this is.
(Actually, I won't, but it made me feel better to say so.)
Mazwoz, if you happen so see this, I wanted to get you some information about a gallery issue I am having, I might have fixed it in a reproducible way.

I agree, even though he came out of nowhere with a rom, it turned out to be remarkably smooth for a first run ICS rom. Keep up the good work, man!

My first post here..but a long time reader and follower of many ROMs.
Thankyou MazWoz. Installed it and works awesome so far..Battery life is 30 hours and counting (on regular battery), and I am power user. Excellent work.!!
Waiting for your HW acceleration and Chrome fix.

Also would like to give big thanks to mazwoz... I've been using his ROMs for a few weeks now and they have been great daily drivers. I don't ever use 4g because for my experience its unreliable at best. Thanks for a great ICS rom and keep up the great work.

Just like the first one, I've been reading, reviewing and testing long before I decided to join. A lot of appreciation to any and all developers, I am running MazWoz 4.7...props sir!

+1 here! Been using this ROM since its stormy beginnings!
4.7 is the best yet!
Question for other 4.7 users, Google music suddenly incompatable?

Truth! MazWoz is the man!!
BTW, got out of the Army as an E-5..... WAY too many years ago....

Not a fan of the 10 post minimum either, but I do understand the reasoning behind it. Just started tinkering with roms, but MazWoz-Evo JB 4.1.2 is the best one I've seen so far. So I thought I'd throw my thanks into the pile too. Look for my comments on the rom page soon... Thanks Maz!

MazWoz JB B3
I wanted to post a comment to the official development thread, but I couldn't. I have so far only been lurking in the shadows and not participating in the conversation so I'm nowhere close to the ten post minimum, even though I've been frequenting those pages for years!
I've been flashing my phone ever since my first Droid Eris had 1.6, and I've been running Maz's Jelly Bean ROMs since B1. This most recent release is (obviously) the most stable and fastest I've seen yet, and that goes for ANY JB ROM. I've tried a few, but Maz is the best. So the real reason I wanted to post was...
I want to thank MazWoz for spending so much time working on this. You have managed to breathe new life into my old-ass phone (not to be confused with my old ass-phone). Google Now is amazing, I love the new alarm clock, and the SPEED, man! Blistering!!
With B2, I was having a lot of issues when I'd open an app and it would freeze and reboot, but so far that seems to have been resolved. This ROM is so much smoother and faster in general, I don't even know where to begin singing your praises. If I could ask one favor, please include the option to center the clock in the status bar in your next release! I know you're already working on fixing the camera screen, so in summary:
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND THANK YOU!!! [cue applause]

Wow I remember when this thread was first started loll

The Golden Age of Development(aka my life story)

I thought I'd keep up the ideal that the general section is a bin for off-topic wonders.
So I want to love on this phone more.
I saw a quote in the GNexus forums from Anon9mouz in his siggy that made me long for the old days.
"I envy the dumb ones."
It made me really sad. I remember back when I first got into rooting. I found a couple review videos for Bubby323's AOSP Magic ROM, Andromeda by noobnl, and KyleCole's BOSS ROM(Reviews by Dash, before ACS). I also remember reading about Cognition ROM over on the Captivate forums. "You see, it boosts benchmark scores from 1100 all the way up to the mid-2500's". That was what got me interested really. I now know that that ROM was using Quadrant hacks, but it was the idea that I could unlock the power of my device. Watching an old Randy Shear video. I was so afraid I was going to break my phone. But when I finally did it felt so great.
I remember I jumped on board during the beginning of the DK28 era. Frankenstein, Quantum, Supernova, Viper, Nebula, Bonsai, and the ever great idea of CM6. I remember flashing all of them and running Quadrant(back when that really meant something to me). After all, CM6's benchmarks are what pushed me to root in the first place. I remember reading that benchmarks didn't mean as much as I thought, and when I saw noobnl load Quadrant into RAM and get an outstanding score, I decided to go with what felt best to me for the first time. I thought Bonsai was the smoothest and I appreciated how small Frankenstein was(though I hated the theme, but it was so cool how he was able to change it). I decided on Viper ROM because when you used the music player, you could pause/play/stop from the notifications tray. I didn't get the concept that they just added an updated application. I thought they were magical. Emotionless Beast was the first theme I ever flashed. And the first thread I started was about MIUI music. I couldn't find it anywhere, so I figure I'd post it. That was where I got my first thanks, and my first senior member scolding. Damn MysteryEmotionz. Talking down on the newbies. Especially that I knew he was just as bad as me at on point. Oh and I remember Zanderman! I remember watching him not root. And I remember the quest to getting him to the point where he was comfortable with it!
Then Mike_77, asdfghjkl, fusingblackrose, raymond, and I started where ahmgsk left off and ported MIUI 1.3.5. I originally was just decompiling for asdfghjkl, but I eventually started smali huning for myself and I got SMS working It was such a thrill. All of the builds we made we posted publicly for everyone to play with. Kind of like what happened with MIUI v4 and CM10 now. Free for all.
I remember how amazing it was when Rodderik released Genocide BEFORE official with 1.2GHZ overclock. That was a feat. And a few days later EB13 hit the market. That's when things began to change. I began theming. And became one of the best without using DreamForgottens accursed guide. Tim and I were up for hours going through XML files and smali just to see what we could tweak. I began work on Nebula Theme beta...and it was a disaster. Nebula Theme v1 came out as the first theme to feature Maddoggin's lock mod. And I was super proud.
I joined ACS around then. I remember it being such a big deal, how Tim built up to it and then didn't tell me until an unexpected letter from ACS head came in. I was accepted with ease. And given a nice article. I got an ACS email address and given all of the internal log ins. I even had to sign a non-disclosure at one point. That was back when ACS' name meant something to people. They were the only group that mattered then, and I got all sorts of praise just for being in. Nice then groups like ERA and IAP came into foreground. Too bad ACS was a waste of time. I remember SRF 1.2. And how everyone but me loved it. I was running BakedSnack you see. That was fast. Haha. Know what was something I kind of regret in a childish way? Not being able to flaunt around SRF 1.3. Oh yeah. It existed. And it blew away all others. New Twilight kernel, clean theme, fast fast fast, Chris41g's last gift to this forum. And it didn't even get released. At least I'll always have it. I remember VisionKernel. 1.2 was bricking phones and such. I always kept it for the insane overclocking(at the time). And I got to use 1.3 for a while too. Thomasskull you big dork.
I learned plenty of during the GB leaks. I was able to properly pack FB15(remember FB15? Yeah me neither). I made it a ODIN tar, and I released MY FIRST ROM! Stock+ I called it. It was just clean. And I was happy. I figured when official came around I would upgrade it. And when it did I released Mortify. But at this point I was painfully knowledgeable. Sure CM9 was fun, but it wasn't as cool as CM7 or DK28. That was the golden age of development on this device.
My most recent appreciation for this forum is Kennyglass123. I missed the whole Impaler era of moderating. And frankly, we never had a good moderator in the time that I've been here. When Kenny got promoted I was elated. Finally! A moderator that will watch our forum! Finally! A moderator with less of a life than me! He'll be SO punctual when responding to my PM's! And he has been, and he will. He's amazing. And he should probably start using the server space I set up for him...
Ignorance is bliss. And it's why my Galaxy Nexus won't ever compare to how I feel about the Epic. I literally love it. And I love the community it came with. I know we are spread far and thin, but I want you all to know that you're like a family to me. And I still recognize names, even on other phones. Thank you all, so much. You've made me who I am today.
UBER will always be Biggoron to me
And I remember this one guy. I think his name was flastnoles11. He's wasted SOOOOOOOO many of his thanks on me. I guess I am as hilarious as I whisper to myself at night...HE'S DOING IT AS WE SPEAK

And I dedicate this post to iSaint.
Oh yeah, I started that ****.
Started on one of my themes. He was really into calling first, so one day I took it and simply put "First. Sorry iSaint"
He replied with "Damn you!!!" or equivalent.
And then EVERYONE for a long while did it as well! And I mean everyone. Even lurkers then were doing it.
Good times.

Quite a journey you've had! Man hard to believe this is my first smartphone ever and already know the things I do! And uber will always be biggoron to me too! I know I loved this last mortify v2 and your cm9 theme was amazing (forget the name, the red one, haha) I jumped on this phone after the ec05 update and promptly rooted and flashed srf 1.2... good times... gonna hate it when I upgrade, but sometimes a little hate is a good thing :thumbup:

I was thinking about the first time I posted a thread, in the Q&A forum, trying to find the stock rooted EC05 tar. Ugothakd and this "Kennyglass" guy posted replies, like;"dude, did you check Dyehya's 'How to Unbrick your Epic' thread? Its right there!" I felt like such a moron, but Kenny was very encouraging. Come to find out he lives 20 minutes from me, originally from NY; kind of my "kindred spirit". Whenever I asked a question, he was the first to answer. I'm sure he regrets the day he gave me his Gtalk contact info...

How odd that just this morning I was thinking about how far things have come and the journey the Epic has had. You mention alot of what I was thinking but I was also remembering the journal/don't journal debates, RFS vs EXT4, battery calibration by discharging your battery then pulling the battery with the charge cord plugged in, CIQ just to name a few more. When was the golden age of development? For me it begins with the Epic since that is the first phone I even new could be improved by you guys.
Thanks for taking the journey and helping us lurkers out.

Ah yes. I remember all of that! I was all about calibration.
i was a journaling off kind of guy. But until MTD it was EXT4 4 life!
And when k0 found and removed ciq. And then it went kind of unnoticed for a long time. And then trav made such a big deal it set a ball in motion.
Thanks! Maybe i should just make a list of topics that arose with the Epic.

Your post got me thinking about how much I'm learning. Even if it is so late in the lifecycle of our phone. It'll be a bittersweet day, when I find my I9300 for a good price and move on from this phone. I'm sure I'll keep my Epic, although it'll be in eternal airplane mode. It'll make a nice crash machine, mini tablet, media center remote, etc.

Nice trip down memory lane! I finally jumped on the rooting and flashing with DK28 because I needed Flash to work on out Epics for my GFs website to show up. Then the Best Buy tech was walking around with his Epic flaunting his Froyo so sat my ass down and read and read. Flashed SuperNova first, then Midnight the next day, then determined to get the SuperNova bootani on Midnight, then Bonsai where I became part of that team, then the rest is history. Once the bug gets in you it is tough to get it out.
Nice Epic history my friend!
May the Epic live forever as the first of it's kind to boldly go where no phone has gone before with a slide out keyboard!

Wow real late. I was on eclair when I got mine. I remember cuz my bro had the EVO and he had flash and I did not. I almost got that phone.... I'm so glad I didn't, he to this day regrets not getting the epic.

Wow darkie, I remember alllll of that. God ViperRom...and BakedSnack lol. hero_over! Lol. Jesus that was bad...but BakedSnack was my first ROM. But Viper quickly stole my heart...and Rodderick's kernel were just so....good. the best.
I remember when froyo went official OTA, and the freaking mayhem that ensued in that thread trying to teach the noob how to pull it.
And Zanderman! Darkie, the zanderman saga was amazing. And I remember he was waiting for....the lock screen mod? Yeah, I think it was that...I remember referencing it in that thread ("somebody tell zanderman") and the OP didn't know what I was talking about...so sad lol.
I've been here pretty much since the beginning, and although my OG epic is my secondary phone, I still have this forum favorited and pop in every day.
What amazes me darkie, is that you seriously lurked for that long. I heard of you and always thought you were on a different device. That's some serious stealth, considering my time spent on xda rivals the mods. To think that you were here before dk28 (those who don't know dk28 should spend some time in the zombie threads) amazes me.
Oh yeah and...when's tmiller gonna get tv-out working?

I got my Epic like 2 weeks before Froyo went OTA I kept checking every day to see if I got it. After a few days I got ticked off and started searching and came across XDA and haven't left LOL.
I LOL'd on the tv-out.
