What? That's ridiculous.. that man has always had my respect and he is definitely a big part of development on the INC.
Come on XDA..

I believe nils had it first, but thats not the issue, his work speaks for itself. This is outrageous. What we need are the other devs weighing in on this. Consider me signed +1000000000000

+1 and more. First isn't as good as best, and Nils' work is better than best. Wake up XDA and realize what you are losing here. We all recognize Nils as a valuable member of this community. Shouldn't you?

Outrageous. Enough said.

KlugN said:
Recently one of the greatest developers for the Droid Incredible, NilsP, announced his resignation from developing some of the smoothest and most stable Inc ROMs ever seen because the XDA "higher ups" have rejected his application to be seen as a recognized developer.
Anyone who has ever used one of Nil's ROMs can attest to the fact that this is a huge blow to the development community.
I am hoping that with enough signitures, we can get NilsP recognized developer status, and that he will continue his amazing work for the community here at XDA.

Can't say that I've ever used one of his ROMs.
But what I can say is that he has a presence in the threads of other developers, and that, to this relatively noob, seems extremely knowledgeable and willing to help. I have seen his name in the list of credits of the various ROMs I have used.
What exactly is the XDA criterion for "developer" status, anyway?

So we have a dedicated developer / rom chef and XDA turns him down???
In my business field we call that sales prevention and bad practice. This is what XDA stands for at the core, individuals that step up an post great roms, mods, themes and apps, how does he not qualify?
I sincerely hope the "higher ups" reconsider because if they keep going this way we will not have any developers on XDA and thus there will be no more XDA. After all it is individuals like him that drive XDA.
+1 give him his deserved status. NilsP has helped me back on the old Omnia i910 days, (when XDA wouldn't allow the omnia on the forums because it was HTC exclusive forum, remember that, lol) and continues to contribute to the community. Thank you NilsP, we appreciate what you do for us, even if XDA doesn't!!

+1. His ROMS are solid.

Uhhh, no its not. Community Rom, Shooter Rewind, and also Newts Sensation Rom all have MMS over WiFi working. But back on topic yes Nils deserves to be recognized as a developer as much as any of them. He does awesome work.
+1 Nils

+1, any dev willing top put out great roms should be recognized

Bring him into the fold
NilsP should definitely be on the list of Recognized Developers. His ROMs, as mentioned everywhere in this thread, are some of the most stable out there.
+1 to add him.

I haven't personally used any of his roms, but he deserves to be a recognized developer for all the work he does.

Signed.

OMFGB Rom

Im running the OMFGB Rom that I downloaded through
Rom manager, but I don't know what the real name of the
Rom is and can't find a thread on it in the forums.
Can anyone point me to the roms original thread so I can
Keep up with it. I really like the rom..
OMFGB is the name of the ROM.
It was removed from this site because of issues with the developer doing naughty things (I don't know very many details on it).
In other words, I don't think you'll find much support on it- but worth a try I suppose.
you can find more info for it on the developers new site, google R2doesInc if you want to find it.
Everything those devs do is on this site:
http://t3hh4xx0r.com/
OMFGB here:
http://t3hh4xx0r.com/projects-2
I love OMFGB, but I've recently switched to CM7. You jut can't beat the battery life on it.

I'm neural in the whole episode. Just pointing out that when you post like this you actually make the whole dramatic incident more intriguing to those that are unaware (like me)
a simple cliffs would be much more helpful
He released his rom with wares in it... and was banned shortly after.
Devs you think are perfectly fine will do something that displeases the general public here and will disappear shortly after. From then on all you'll hear are cryptic comments about said dev, which as you said, only piques curiosity.
Not too much unlike a mob movie.
I think the whole things kinda silly. I used to like one developer named IncredibleDoes but one day he vanished and all I've read is how "taboo" and unforgivable his actions were. I actually have no idea what happened to him.
This is a place where users become attached to devs. We like their creations, heck some even donate. Still people will disregard this completely in saying "oh no not this again" when someone is genuinely curious.
Also, I think Smokeey was being sarcastic, ridiculing the very thing I am criticizing here.

He also took myns Rom from the evo, from a beta port by incubus I was told and themed it over to call it his own
At first he gave credit but then he slowly deleted it in his posts, oh and this is where the warez was from too
He did then what he's doing now, finding fixes from other peoples roms and puts them in his Rom
Flame me all u want, I don't trust him or jdk, or even incdoes after what he did
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App
I'm not flaming anybody. In fact that sounds like a terrible thing to do and he probably deserves the animosity displayed here. I'm just saying this community cultivates an environment where people will invest emotionally in a developer. So people shouldn't lash out when someone's curious as to why a once respected person has suddenly disappeared. It would help to have a sticky or something regarding developer "departures".

It means he put others work into his and said it was his and he also put paid market items into his rom.
I just find it so funny that the people that defend him the most all ended up as moderators on his site. I'm honestly tired of the advertising.

Indeed. I chose android solely because of the development community. I didn't just blindly grab any phone I could, I did a little research and knew it had to be android and it had to be HTC. And thanks to the support and quality that devs put into these devices I will be a dedicated HTC/android customer for as long as both exist.
A big thank you to everyone who puts in work, especially the cyanogenmod team.

BIG DITTO to this, exactly the reasons I came over to Android and in particular HTC.
I was completely unprepared for how much work has been put in by the devs and community - Bravo everyone and in particular the hard work of the modders!
To be honest... I bought this phone back in October bc it was NOT an iPhone which was very important to me. I didn't even know what android was. Now I'm addicted and my girlfriend hates my phone . Thank you so much devs for giving me a hobby. Idk that I can really be thankful enough for what y'all have done for me. My whole life really. I was just kind of wandering aimlessly before but not anymore!
Go!

two Very BIG Thumbs Up

[Donation]Atrix 4G MIUI Port

A lot of people have been interested in getting MIUI on the Atrix and FRAMEWORK over at miui.us has stated that he has gotten some progress on this port but is stuck at the point of having no Atrix to test his port on. He is known for porting MIUI to multiple devices. FRAMEWORK said that if he got his hands on the device, it could take a few days to get a working port on our Atrix.
Anyone interested in donating to this dev getting his hands on a Atrix, post on the thread. From there, I guess he will have to set up a way to take the donations or we can put something together. Either ways, this is an awesome opportunity for Atrix users who want a polished and sleek looking ROM.
You have to start it with the necessary half of the phone cost, by XDA rules.

We pretty much have a stable cm7 if I'm not mistaken
Sent from my CM7 ATRIX via XDA Premium App
Our CM7 is stable but is missing camera functionality and few other things. But IMO its stable.. no reboots here
I personally do not think donation threads should be allowed in xda at all without proof of progress. I know he has ported to several devices already, but that is what the donations links on their website is for. I have also seen several threads like this raise hundreds of dollars to get a dev a device and they release one thing and support it for only a week or two and never hear from them again. Just my opinion, I'm not trying to insult anyone.
I tend to agree, donation threads just aren't right. We are moving towards paying devs more and more. at this rate, it will be I won't help unless i get paid this amount. Kinda what this thread is, isn't it. He can't\won't get it done unless somebody buys him a phone. We have done that already at least once here. Maybe that dev would offer up the phone already purchased to this dev so he can do his part, then he can pass it on to the next.....

I completely agree. These donation threads are getting a bit aggressive and we've already been burned once.

Now that I've read the last few comments, I realize I totally agree as well. When I first saw this thread, I voted Maybe So, because honestly I was like "Yeah, let's get this going so we can get MIUI ASAP!!" but now I'm realizing...it probably won't make it go any faster, and we will really probably have it VERY soon after a full CM7 is released (whenever that is...), and if people want to THEN they can start donating to the guy. But to donate before hand? I didn't realize until just now how foolish that could be!
As Atrix users, we've seen plenty of devs take the loot and then split, so it'd be risky to do that again.
Besides, I've seen on the MIUI site a thread that lists some devices they're working on, and the only things on the Atrix to do list that aren't there are Working CM7 and Working MIUI. I'll go look for a link and bring it back here if anyone wants it
i thought i saw a thread that someone was already working on a miui build

Haha thanks, that saved me some time.
So yeah, I mean it should be said that this ALSO doesn't guarantee MIUI...but at least we know that we should wait for CM7 until anything should really be done.
And milesjohnson makes a good point...instead of buying someone a device for them to use as they see fit, he could perhaps just do the same coding and have others that already have their own device testing it or something.

For some reason people think that dev'ing is a full time job and that devs get paid for it. They think that while they're at work making money, then coming home and taking care of their kids, oh, and don't forget about keeping the wifey happy, that devs should just be sitting in their free home using free internet making roms and themes for people all day.

Request for hascode

Hey hashcode I know you have many other projects going on, but I was wondering if there is any chance you would help out with the HTC amaze. I a, in the Georgia army national guard and would be willing to contribute at least 100 dollars seeing as I am being deployed here shortly. The source code was just released and I would kill for AOSP because I cannot stand sense. If not I understand. I just thought I would give it a shot seeing the great work you've done with the fire.
This is more appropriate for a PM.

No disrespect to Hashcode but I believe he has a different mobile device that he's producing for. And he's already pioneered change for the kindle fire, there are other devs that have worked on the Amaze and made great progress, like EclipzeRemix has made some awesome AOSP based ROMs for the Amaze. =] You should try them.
