airbus360

I've decided to post this regardless of the potential consequences to my membership here. To the mods, you've now closed airbus360's ICS thread despite a final warning to members that continued off-topic posts in violation of forum policy would be enforced. Despite this, instead, mods have locked the entire thread. This site has progressively become a zoo and TBH it is the fault of the site staff.

Personally its idiotic posters who wreck the forum .
not saying this is an idiotic post as i dont know the subject in question .
One has only to read posts on the forum to realize its hard to be a developers forum when its full of kindergarten users .
Mods don't get paid and there are few if any volunteers from the mass of users .

codeworkx sums it up for you in one of the last posts in that thread. I believe it wasn't closed because of spam, rather an incompetent, donation requesting developer giving false hopes to the uninformed.

I fully understand this having direct experience with forum admin/mod duties on, dare I say, BlackBerry forums. Idiotic posts are specifically for site staff to manage, the continued bantering allowed in response to an individual idiotic post is a significant contributor, as is the elitist attitudes of some. That's all I'm saying (P.S. Your username seems familiar to me...).

P.S. Your not a lemming, people don't NEED to donate anything, and to be honest, no disrespect, but codeworkx now jumping in and essentially hijacking the thread I'm sure is against forum policy as well. No I'm ready to be crucified lmao.

site staff should make it mandatory to display every users age, then we can really see how young those people are.

Did you guys really think that one lone developer would be able to pull off something the entire Hacksung team wasn't able to do (without kernel sources?)
What codeworkx did what right, IMO.

What XDA needs is more serious developers, not little kids trying to do something that's way beyond their reach. I've read nearly all the pages in that thread and it was a complete joke. I'm so glad that thread got locked.
All I saw from airbus was asking for donations, asking for other people to compile the builds, posts about failed builds and some pretty embarrasing theories as to why something wasn't working.
I'm all for this site being a learning ground for everyone who wants to develop, but there should be a special section for that. He is just not experienced enough to pull off a fully working ICS AOSP ROM for the GS2, and with that in mind, he shouldn't be allowed to pull wool over all the users' eyes.

Cool down bro .... nothings lost ! both teamhacksung and airbus are all at the same level so unless sammy can give them a proper workable build none of those guys are gonna fork out anything usable.
No one apart from sammy can fix stuff on there devices as the kernel source is still closed sourced so i would say at this point , there no use in ranting on why a ASOP or CM rom is not released or closed ! ...
I you still want to vent your anger vent at sammy for not releasing the source.

First of all, the thread was not a dev thread, it was a "dogs and cats in heat" hostage situation. 156 pages of nothing, over nothing and for nothing. While I can't comment on Airbus360's competence, he did stirred the waters by achieving a decent build of ICS - though no audio,cameras and SD. It doesn't matter how he did it- it's all part of GPL game. Saying that wifi is broken because of cifs.ko(or whatever cifs was he talking about) provided some clues for the devs.
Codeworkx said what he said, so if that's true, the work of Airbus360 can be replicated easily in a matter of minutes - given the fact that everybody coming here should have a clue about github and kernels.
What DOES matter is how people expect XDA to be a community for all.
IT IS NOT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN, NOR WILL IT BE.
It's open for a lot to read and here,@reading, it all should be stopped. Read, read, understand, read more and maybe, maybe then, post something, post something USEFUL. We don't pay for servers, nor we see a flood of banners here.
It's not a Sammy/HTC/ HP support forum.

This is unfortunately true in particular your second point, the same questions being asked over and over again, even last year on the HD2 forums we had this issue but it's become much worse in 2011 and i think when newbies register they should have be given a list of FAQ's and told to search the forum for any questions they might have where the chances are they will find the answer and only if they cant then start a thread where people will help, failure to do that should result in infractions leading to bannings,it may sound harsh but i believe it would be effective.

Well I am of the mindset to simply provide a noob with a reply or information regarding their question while others choose to gang up, berate and rudely direct them to search for themselves, c'est la vie. All of this contributes to a cluttered and chaotic thread. We were all noobs once, remember that.

Unfortunately whilst we're all indeed noobs once, some of us read and search, rather than post new threads.

I've been following airbus twitter for quite a while now and something that bothered me after some time was the numerous attempts for donations while the progress was none... saying that he needed more ram... showing his laptop going berserk while compiling... posting pictures and links of the new computer he needed... and his progress was always two steps behind cm9 while he owes me nothing and
i respect his work even though he didn't accomplished nothing new he's learning from the experience and i had some fun following him on twitter. the subliminal donation messages became very annoying after a while... and why post a dozen threads of alpha roms where none is daily material ? i don't understand it ...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

to add my opinion here, airbus never asked for a donation directly or never gave assurance that he will fix all the existing problems. Normally its the othe forum members who flooded the thread with ETA and some OT discussion. preferably the mod could have cleaned the thread instead of closing it, i feel like a growing dev is being supressed. no offense to any one, just my opinion though

[Discussion] CheckROM

Considering there is no support to anyone using CheckROM on XDA as the thread was closed. I have created this thread for people to list issues with the ROM or any themes, fixes or general ROM related problems.
I tried this once before a moment ago but it was closed by conantroutman because he is a really cool guy and obviously incredibly intelligent and knows exactly what has happened.

General discussion means anything general. I believe you have no grounds to stand on closing that thread. Prove me wrong
First of all, this "general discussion" thread is nothing more than a thinly veiled excuse for you to rant about the fact that this particular ROM is not being updated as quickly as you would like and/or because the developers have decided to focus on a newer device over the SGSII. That is their decision, deal with it.
As for the problem with checkrom.com, that's a checkrom.com issue not an XDA-Developers issue. Take it up via the proper channels. (Hint, XDA is not the proper channel)
As I said before, if you have an issue with somebody, resolve it via PM. Due to the way you have chosen to word the OP this thread would only lead to you being flamed and we wouldn't want that now would we?.
This is a development forum, not a place for gossip and idle chit chat.
These are the grounds upon which I stand, consider yourself proven wrong.
I appreciate that you're a little miffed so here's a particularly adorable kitten to cheer you up. Have a nice day.

You forgot to post this PM I also sent to you
Uppon2 = I don't need to contact anybody by PM by the way? Why would I need to do that. I am just laying out the truth in a general fashion. I think every man and his dog have sent them many PMs and requests for an explanation about their lies. Don't come along all high and mighty without reason dude.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
He never responded to either of my PMs even considering that is what to do first. Instead he posted it in the thread like a hero and gave me no chance to defend myself.
I was never trying to say anything else other than GadgetCheck and Leomar hyped up an unreleased ROM encouraged people to donate and took donations only to not actually do anything they said they were going to do. They have a donate button for a reason. To encourage further development (Which was already told was happening months ago) and to also give them a pat on their backs for what they have done already. I know for a fact many users donated solely on the fact there was going to be an ICS release as soon as jkay was ready and then again in June (Both times it never happened)
Now you can close this thread again, you can ban me, mute me and do anthing your powers provide. It is just solidifying my argument about CheckROM and proving that you're a macho moderator.
I am putting money on it that this thread will be closed. THERE IS NO REASON TO CLOSE IT. I'm not taking peoples money and running. Let the public speak.
I am not trying to get unbanned from checkrom.com I don't even care, my point was to strengthen my original argument of being mislead. And proved it I did
If you had actually read everything in my original thread you would have still closed it but you wouldn't have replied the way you did mate.

Sigh.....
I'll just let the relevant forum moderator deal with this as I'm clearly wasting my time here. A legitimate general discussion thread would have been fine. Your personal grievances however, are not something we care about.

Guy. This is nothing to do with me. I didn't donate to them because I thought I was getting a new release. But a lot of other users did. If you read all of my evidence you will see me explaining this very point. I will keep the flames down this time around. I have said all I need to say. Thread is open for business (NOT FLAMING) just business. People need somewhere to ask questions. I would have asked on Checkrom.com but I am apparently banned for my kind words on XDA so I can't do that now can I

Just for your information there have already been 2 ICS ROMs made for SGS 3 http://checkrom.com/threads/gt-i9300-xxlf6-4-0-4-checkrom-evohd™-v2.822/

He's a senior mod. He did the right thing by closing the previous thread. You're out of line with the way you've 'spoken' to him. Expect the forum mods to close this one soon & consider yourself lucky if you don't get an infraction.
XDA isn't a democracy. You don't have 'rights'.

Thread closed
One of the worst things you can do anywhere on the internet is post PMs. They're called Private for a reason. As you were told, XDA isn't the place for this discussion. Do not reopen the issue in open forum again. Doing so will be not cooperating with a moderator, and will result in an infraction against your account.

To be fair, that wasn't a PM, just a direct copy of the previous thread...
Not that it really makes any difference.

Why was the N9002 thread deleted?

I was trying to find the thread and for some reason, it might bave been deleted. What gives? I figure it might be because of that stupid rom that is asking for profit?
There was plenty of good information in that thread especially for us users of the dual sim note3. I wish it could be restored, and just the crap paid rom deleted...

Might have been archived, use the thread in the general section of XDA to ask a staff member.

I have got this message from mod:
Discussing for pay roms is not allowed, especially when it involves malware. Thread has been removed.
I have already ask him why because I do not understand. I have written instal guide to SVA 3.5 (cause I have it) but it was also for 2.0 which is free. If it is against rules, then OK, he can delete 2 or 3 posts and say, stop talk about it. And not to delete complete thread with usefull infos.
And if it has malware, then he should tell us more about it.
Censorship is very bad thing!

Is it no fair deleted this thread... it was one of the most usefull ones.
Please delete posts about paid ROM and restore this thread.

I was also disappointed not finding the 40+ page thread about the N9002 today. I was specifically looking for the fix to the following:
Others.xml fix for caller ID issue (I have since found it elsewhere, and the "-1" parameter value worked for me).
Fix for Google Account randomly signing out (it happened to me first two times I rebooted since loading a new ROM, but hasn't reoccured the rest of today).
Fix the "process com.google.process.gapps has stopped..." error (I've cleared app cache for some google apps, so now under observation).
The N9002 thread was very useful, so I am also hoping that only the SVA related posts should be deleted.
I just upgraded my N9002 to the latest N9002ZNUDMK1 today, loaded CWM recovery, and then a 3rd party ROM. I'm loving the N9002 more and more now.

I did not know about that rom having malwares. Never really liked that SVA. Good thing i stayed away from it. However, its still unfair to delete the whole thread because of it.

Calling someone a liar isn't very "polite". If your goal is to get banned just say so, there's no need for the passive aggressiveness.
As was explained in the private message to you, do not discuss it here. Talking about for-pay ROMs in any way shape or form is not allowed. If you want to advertise them for you can do it from your own website.

Ok, now thats that done. I suggest that this thread be closed and I'll just create a new n9002 thread.

...
Shame. I am one of the many owners of N9002 that had benefited from information in that thread. There were many useful posts in that thread that didn't have anything to do with paid ROM's at all. There were techniques to root, debloat, and put back Google stuff on N9002. Only because there were some guys posted about a paid ROM the entire thread was deleted?

Thread closed on op's request. If there are any further questions please feel free to PM me and I will be happy to answer them.

XDA Exclusive: A Free FunkyHuawei Credit for XDA Users

I've been trying to come up with a way to give back to XDA, and here is what I've got on offer.
For helpful XDA users who meet the following criteria:
1. XDA Account more than 1 year old.
2. 1000+ posts
3. 150+ thanked
I will happily issue a FunkyHuawei credit for free. Send me a PM on XDA with your email address you used onand I will put it on your account if you meet the criteria. So I can keep track of it, make the subject of your message 'FunkyHuawei Credit Request'
In return, I ask that you (optionally) document your usage of FunkyHuawei, and how it worked for you, and let me know. All feedback is very welcome.
Take note that I don't recommend trying to rebrand with one credit, because you generally will need to flash the phone at least two times. However, it should work just fine for a system update.
I especially hope there are people with phones other than the Mate 9/Pro who can try it and see how it works, as I don't have older testing devices. But you're free to use it on whatever phone you want, of course.
Note, I am posting this under Section 11 of the XDA rules, specifically:
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
