** Q&A ** With Birgertime/@romanbb - Dev For Trigger/Project-V etc

Hey guys,
You may have noticed the past few days that I have been on here less. I have been trying to get my new blog up and running:Link >>#NeverAgain
I am not leaving XDA, heck no... love this place too much for that. BUT, I did want to let you all know that I have a great Q&A with birgertime, who, lets be honest, has made ALL of our phones better.
I thought you all may like to learn more about the guy... not just the developer. Hope you enjoy. If you do (or do not), please leave a comment on the blog and help spread the word.
The more people I can reach... the better. Especially if we are going to need another #NeverAgain campaign for Gingerbread (Samsung reps are already aware of my blog - 3 days old today).

I checked over XDA rules and I did not see anything that said this was wrong.
EDIT: I wrote another article. Malware has been discovered in the Official Market. Scroll below it for the Q&A with birgertime!

I read the post and it was really good. I have a bterr understanding of birgertime and he is a great asset to xda

I am asking that all developers making new 3D roms with the new sense 3.0 please make them compatable with Metro PCS. I will be happy to beta test any evo roms. There are many evo isers on metro and this would mean a great deal to all of us.

You've got working camera drivers for both 3.1 and 3.2 and we can't get someone to engineer a working ics kernel with cameras?
Would someone like to school me on what the big roadblock is here if you already have examples to work with? I don't have a problem donating some cash up front if dev time/interest is what's holding us back here

From what I understand its drivers for ICS coming from source. When Samsung releases ICS, camera can be fixed in AOSP.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

My understanding is that its not worth spending the time to engineer or reverse engineer the driver. Especially since it will be released by Samsung in the not to distant future. Just be patient or use a Honeycomb based ROM.

Put up a bounty if you're interested; state how much you're willing to donate, and put it in escrow. It can be done, and maybe a dev will take you up on it. That said, with ICS on the horizon any dev will be wary of putting in time if Samsung drops the code before they get the bounty. I agree with the previous person -- suck it up and wait. Use HC if you need the camera.

I was wondering this too... cameras work on a HTC evolution and Samsung captivate...no ics for those in official releases...

Gee, I can't believe these guys never thought of that. You should be a dev.

It's not ICS that's the problem, it's the GPU. NVIDIA hasn't released any useful stuff for devs.

HTC One Switch (Sense and AOSP )

Just read this and thought you guys would be interested. Here's a snippet from the link
"The popular and famed Android modder Paul O’Brien is cooking up something pretty neat for all you HTC One fans and owners. He’s calling the new feature the MoDaCo Switch, and it will allow users to seamlessly switch from the stock HTC Sense UI software on the One to vanilla Android. Essentially turning your regular HTC One into the Google Play edition."

My body is ready for this lol especially if it can later be used to switch between other aosp roms and sense

Switch as in dual boot or switch as in easily flash different roms without losing data? First one seems most likely and exciting
EDIT: never mind, should have seen the link in OP

This isn't misc lol
With that said, I am also looking forward to this. I doubt I'll actually use it, due to memory constraints, but it'll be cool to see it in action.

Looking interesting would definitely give it a go if if comes to light. I just feel there would be a performance issue running two roms
Guess we will have to wait and see.

You guys think I'd work for Sprint's One too?

Can't wait for this to be released!

My first reaction is "I doubt it" because Sprint is CDMA, but the more I think about it, it's possible. It would have to be a separate version specifically for the Sprint One though.

Seams that beta testing is going quite well from Paul's twittering. This thing may be live within a few weeks...

Signed up yesterday for the wait list, and I still haven't received a confirmation email...
Force closed the app just now, started it again and entered the same email, and voila! It walked me through the setup from scratch! !
I'd give you more thanks if I could! !

works so fine.. plus I got all my old bbm buddies added to my list automatically!

Tried it, still wondering whether I should keep it or not. Difficult to find your friends, BB being nearly dead (2.9% market share), whatsapp already 350 million users, still missing some settings, etc..
Can imagine though that for the die hard pingers it is a relief to see it back on other platforms.

Went and got it. What was the point? BBM for android is not going to be the next big thing so in order for is to use this as a texting app, we must send invites??
Really?
This is what the hype was all about?
Now I see why BlackBerry artificially delayed release. It was intended to build up anticipation.
If I can't just send messages to folks that are already I'm my contacts, if I have to send an invite, hoping that this thing becomes the next big fad, then what's the point?
