Samsung is all talk and no action!! They need to prove themselves by doing!
They can start by recalling all Galaxy S variants that say they have a GPS issues and fix the antenna contacts in them.

This thread needs to be closed. Please stop posting useless, already known information.

Bumping it back to the top of general doesn't exactly help

Exactly. Much better to ignore the thread and let it disappear than comment how the information is already known or how it shouldn't be posted.

I believe the intention is to force bthomas (if this is true, I don't know enough to have any kind of opinion on this) to openly apologize and/or acknowledge the "borrowed" code.

actually i have sent him a pm, as for irc i am unaware of a teamviper irc room and as i idle in both epic chatrooms constantly i have yet to see bthomas in either of them.
indeed had he asked or simply forked the code (as it is all on github ) and fixed it then no issues the reason why this code wasnt publicly posted in a rom or whatever is because in its current state.. it doesnt work, it polls the cpu but it does it unevenly and actually causes the cpu % to spike thus draining more battery...
as i dont have an epic anymore i havent felt the drive to sit down and finish it (various things like life, college, my pregnant gf) have kept me busy for quite a bit.

wrong, if even one user donates to bthomas for this battery tweak then it is money ill spent. no i dont care about them for me (check the ORIGNAL RELEASE THREAD, i put collin_ph's donation link as it was his idea for this script and he was the one who made it)

Fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight!

I agree with shabbypenguin. If this is true than that is a violation of gpl. Same thing someone else was doing in here a while ago that got banned.

+1 to that! if he's violating gpl and accepting donations for "his work" when its not his and no credit given then it does deserve attention and/or an explaination.

Moderators: Learn the rules (rule 12 clarification)

Binary100100 for the rules list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729445
If you read rule twelve closely, it says if someone doesn't ask you about using their work, you can first contact them and if they don't take it down, then they get banned.
Ok, now to the reason marcusant is suspended. It clearly states that if the original dev contacts the kanger and requests it be taken down, and the kanger does right after, then the kanger can't get suspended because they broke no rules. Only if the kanger doesn't remove it after being contacted, can they be banned. As you can see, marcusant removed the entire op after being notified by Roderick. If anyone is to be suspended it would be noobnl and Roderick because it states that you need to discuss in private messages, NOT in public forum.
Marcusant took it down right when he got contacted. He also gave full credit to his sources. I request that a moderator apologizes and lifts the suspension.

If you read rule twelve closely, it says if someone doesn't ask you about using their work, you can first contact them and if they don't take it down, then they get banned.
This means, first, with the whole AnonymousROM i2 deal (resaulved already), if the Bonsai Team didn't contact marcusant first nor contact the moderators saying that they wanted their stuff removed, they couldn't make marcusant remove it. But he did, so that's fine.
Second, the reason marcusant is suspended. It clearly states that if the origional dev contacts the kanger and requests it be taken down, and the kanger does right after, then the kanger can't get suspended because they broke no rules. Only if the kanger doesn't remove it after being contacted, can they be banned. As you can see, marcusant removed the entire op after being notified by Roderick.

I hate to say this but I think your facts are wrong. The Bonsai situation had nothing to do with permission. It had to do with using early access pieces and parts of what xda considers donationware. The rules are pretty clear on that. Whether I agree with it or not that's why it was taken down. It had nothing to do with not having permission.
As far as the other situation goes with Roderick and Noobnl I'm not privy to the behind the scenes info on that like I was on the previous drama, so I can't really comment. However, if you take someones work as blatantly as he did without crediting the source or asking permission, if that's what happened, there are consequences. That's pretty straight forward. Whether or not it was handled appropriately is a whole other matter. His suspension probably has to do more with frequency of violations.
When you post something inflammatory like this, without having the facts straight it really invalidates the entire thread. You will never get an apology from the mods and honestly the request is pretty silly. I admire your conviction but I wouldn't hold your breath... It's never gonna happen....

Am I the only one thinking this is a puppet account? This is just sad......

Agreed but you and I both know the name of the game and that's moolah, cash, dollar dollar bill y'all. Facebook wants to sell ads. They can't sell ads to you if your on Google+, so they don't want anyone advertising it on their site. Its kind of incredible on Facebooks part. As if banning Google+ posts will make us all forget about it. Horrible PR decision on FBs part. But I'm also a fan of chaos and mutiny. So my view may or may not be reliable.

[EVENT][QBKING77] Epic CM Q&A IRC, Jan 30th 8:00pm EST

Hey folks! Monday, January 30th, 2012 at 8:00pm EST we will have a public Q&A session in the #epic channel on the IRC irc.irondust.net.
Meet the Epic CM developers. We will talk about CM7 and CM9 progress. Then you can ask questions in real-time.
Epic CM Donation Drive. Learn how to support the team to make fixes faster.
Want to become a CM developer? We will talk about how to get started, as possibly things on our TODO list are easier ways to get familiar with the build system while doing something useful for our community.
Meet qbking77, maker of the excellent Android demo videos. Check out his latest Epic CM9 video demonstrating working Face Unlock on the Epic!
