Folks - Samsung is giving Galaxy Indulge users the hard shaft, and in the process, violating the GPL. They have been extremely unresponsive, and it's high time they're brought public. The Galaxy Indulge is the Epic's little cousin on MetroPCS.
Please read the following, and spread the word everywhere possible. Samsung's behavior is nothing short of shameful.

We should fight this for sure, if we let them get an inch, they will want a mile next year, we need to put a stop to this now before they are allowed to change the rules...

Would this be something to bring to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (https://www.eff.org/)?
I'm not sure if they would handle things like this but if necessary they have the funds to actively fight Samsung in court.

I'm not sure about that, but I sent email to the FSF and the Software Freedom Conservancy (on the recommendation of Randy T.).

since K0nane's explanation post mentions a broken netfilter, Harald Welte at http://gpl-violations.org/ sholuld be interested.
He has taken many companies to court for GPL violations of netfilter code and won. by June 2006, he had finished and won over 100 cases.
Just a thought...

Read a little more closely - they later uploaded a package with a working netfilter. That is not the problem.

[REQ Close thread]I've been getting a few messages lately

Different people have asked me privately if I would mind if they nominated me to be an Epic 4g mod. So, I'm saying this so everyone knows. I thank those that think i'd be a good mod, I really do, but I don't have time to be a mod. I'm only on xda a lot because of the app, I'm hardly ever on a pc. And school and soccer are starting back soon. So, thanks, but please don't request me anymore .

All this thread does is cause negativity. If you want something so bad, do it yourself.

check the miui thread under dev... we are trying to raise money to donate an epic to either cyanogen mod or some other good dev willing to work on the epic.. i will make a thread soon but all donations will help and maybe make us one step closer to cm7/miui.

if we could get a epic to cyanogen, developement would sky-rocket.

I smell smokescreen. I mean if the Fascinate can get CM7 running, exactly why not the Epic? They say it's "different" but if you can get CM7 running on the only other CDMA based Galaxy S device, it can't possibly be that hard to get it onto the Epic (keyboard too hard to deal with or something? lol!). They just don't want to try, pure and simple.

One of your friends need to pull the stick out your ass or get you laid. Something has to give!

im pretty sure cyanogen would love to work on our devices .. after i offered him a epic 5 times via twitter and no response ,,, i already given up on cm7 and i don't support it either .. hope we can soon but by the time that happens cm8 would already be out lol

You do know that he doesn't necesarily check his twitter right? Post a thread in adroid general and let's see where that goes.

This question has been answered multiple times. They are waiting for gingerbread source code for our phone and then they will continue development on cm7. Im pretty sure once we get the source code it will come out really quick

That really wasn't it....yes they were annoying but by asking for ETAS every five minutes but the thread was closed due to a standstill poor being reached. Whether people were being annoying or not the developers reached a point of no crossing, especially when source is nearby.

Invitation to MIUI Epic test team

If anyone wants to test my MIUI builds, sign up here. In the past, I've posted to the MIUI thread in Android Development, but I feel that to clutter the thread a little less, I should have a test team to PM or tweet or whatever and then post there if I know the build is worth posting. I'd test myself, but I lost my SD Card and still need to get a new one. Sign up here, got 5 builds ready when you guys are.
Decided to do twitter cuz I'm too lazy to pm individually
Follow @Epic4GMiui

i should have some free time coming up sign me up.

Do you think I should PM the links or tweet or any other ideas on how to send?

Sadly I do not have the time (or a fast enough internet connection) to test any builds but the miui wip thread was one of my favorite threads to read, just sayin.

NOT Another Goodbye Thread

Well its not... eh sort of just ordered my gnex today. Soo pretty soon here I will being jumping forums. Id just like to start an appreciation thread. I don't know if most people realize this but, this forum is in pristine organization. Looking at my new forum... it is SO unorginized so crowded, and people hardly get along. Here people collaborate, help, and inform. However we do have our flame wars.... but those are soon resolved. Also people here are very appreciative... I don't know how or what exactly I did to deserve 900+ thanks... but people sure do appreciate things. Anyways to wrap this up id just like to say thanks for the wonderful expierence with android and xda. Had it not been for the orginized and close-nit community we have here in the Epic 4g forum I would still be running an out-dated version of android or a bloated version.
Thanks
