Long Live Koush - EVO 4G General

Cool story about one of the developers here, also the same guy that provides clockworkmod recovery. Go Koush!
http://phandroid.com/2011/03/16/inf...ns-down-interview-with-sony-out-of-principle/

That's a pretty awesome story, especially since he did it because of the way they treated the dude. I know it would be hard for me to turn down an interview from Sony...Koush has morals, you have to give him that.

Kind of old news but cool story regardless.

I actually just about posted this same thing but saw it had already been posted. I was blown away that koush wouldnt take the job since Sony is being a douche towards geohot. Thats awesome

Selflessness
+1 koush

That is awesome

Surely he has a better offer... Otherwise, he's stupid. Which he shouldn't be. So...

Amazing story. The Developers for Android are second to none in more ways than one. All of them are very unselfish and I'm very grateful for what they've helped me to do with my Evo.

Froyo source is now available

I figured this deserved a thread.

UPDATE: Cyanogenmod incoming. http://androidandme.com/2010/06/news/8-android-phones-will-get-froyo-early-thanks-to-cyanogenmod/
Dang, beat me to it. I was just going to link the adroidcentral article. Today is a great day for android!
all right! Devs get on it... oh wait, I forgot. Dev get on it.
I wish I knew more about all of this. We have a fully working kernel source for our 2.1 ROMs. Does that mean that porting 2.2 will be a snap, or am I missing something here?
Darch seems to be on it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6918210&postcount=1393
Darchstar said he would be able to get a working port for us by tomorrow xD I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
This is news to me: http://twitter.com/cyanogen/statuses/16869433998
Apparently Cyanogen himself is officially working on the HeroC? Is this new?
I just lost all respect for myself......
"froyo source dropped?" "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" *waves arms in the air then falls out of chair*
IRL.
FAIL.
I hope so. That would be great... Although we have great developers already here.

See this & it's reply.
Since Darchstar has a HeroC vendor tree already setup, this is the reason.
Wow. So I guess we get an official Cyanogenmod ROM in the near future. That November Evo upgrade eligibility date is suddenly hurting much less.
i'm feeling the same way!
I could still care less about the Evo. It's WAY too big IMHO. Who wants a brick in their pocket, apparently quite a few due, but whatever :-/
This definitely will make the wait for my next phone much easier. Now just need to decide which one I want next.

Believe its being worked on as said but devs didn't set a time frame and accept donations, not get paid straight up for their work so don't have the attitude like its owed to you. Be grateful for what they have done so far or leave. Period.

Something New to Flash?

When are we going to get something new to flash? I've been jones'n for like a month now. What is next on the horizon for EPIC users? I need a tease to at least wet my whistle. It's been too damn quiet on the new custom roms front!
You could always make something yourself if you want to flash something so badly. The devs here work hard with what little they have to work with and are, quite frankly, terribly underappreciated.

Go to development and Flash Gingerbread.
Oh and please don't forget to Donate to the developers who do this for free and work their ass off sweating over their releases.
Clearly he's following the everything's ok theme.
I can understand your anxiousness in wanting to have a new rom to experience but truthfully... we have what we need. Either acs or midNIGHT should be enought to keep you happy on your epic. If you want something to look forward to think about gingerbread and our epics finally being pushed to they're max. After gingerbread, if its light on bugs that is, the epic will finally reach its limits.

Agreed. I have had a rooted moment hero and now epic and I can say I've never been as happy as I am now runing ec05 with syndicate. Works flawlesly. Think where we started before we had froyo and the gps didn't work. lol this phone has come a long way in a short period. Thanks too all the devs

I wouldn't say it means he's back to developing (knock on wood), he did have a falling out with members of his team so he may just be using the Epic not developing for it. Wait for him to make a statement before you speak for him.

Well hate to be the one that breaks the happiness. This may be a double edge sword...
If he's working with Sammy remember that they are corporate and he is a member of their corporation now, and he must follow by their rules and regulations. This could mean the end of Cyanogen era as well.
Remember these corporations don't care 100% of what we do with their phones because they consider it "out of bounds". Hint: Remember what MS did with the dev group that was hacking their phones?????

Nope, never gonna happen.
Steve hasn't had any input w/ CM on any samsung device so far, and he especially won't now.
SO it finally seem's the big boys are finally getting recognized sloooowly?
From my understanding...without the GB source code...Tony Stark couldn't put this together in that cave regardless right?...this is assuming the official (no disrespect to our developers we luuv y'all!) CM developers all had source code for the officialy supported devices? Correct me if I'm wrong
Sent from my rooted, suited, & booted Epic 4G kno dat!
As someone who has never used Cyanogenmod, I just don't get the hype surrounding this project. I have a general understanding on why development is where it is for the Epic currently, but I definitely don't get the butt-hurt posts/threads on this topic. (Not inferring that this thread is one of those types of threads. )
Aside from the AOSP look/feel of it, what's the real hype over the project?
