Mods closed / removed his threads... not sure what happened.

I got this reply from a moderator throuh a personel message
(''To answer your question, he was not complying with our rules regarding GPL liscensing.
We are working with him on this and his threads will be back when he is in compliance.'' )
so he might be back soon

Apparently, that is the case.

Yeah, I believe it had to do with him not sharing it. I think it all started when CM started to announce and work on the official build and were wanting to use his kernel as a base/starting point but he wouldn't give it out? I don't know, I just remember something similar to that happening in the Offical CM topic.

that doesn't make any sense, if CM actually wanted to do an official HD2 build everyone would benefit, doesn't make sense for him not to release his kernel source.

Im getting the same thing...Im looking to download the newest for my HD2 but i cannot enter that forum.

Can someone tell me if there is any and what possible damage can occur due to MDJ not sharing his source? Example: is any of our personal information at risk by this taking place (i.e. credit card numbers, e-mails, sms, phone records, etc)?
Thanks,

it is posible that he has put some code in there to get details from devices, so without actually seeing the code people can only speculate

i hate to say it but this thread has turned borderline pathetic
can a mod please close this thread
before conspiracy theories start popping up about it MDJ

Weird. Haven't visited the android HD2 forums for a few weeks and to see MCCM back and MDJ gone is weird. But MCCM's builds work better for me anyway.

MDJ!!! WE MISS YOU!!! Hopefully we will see him back soon

No it hasn't. Seems the issue has been addressed well enough and people are just voicing what's on their mind. The only excuse for this one being closed is it's a dupe thread.
Closing fair discussion never benefited anybody !

There has to be a reason why he refuses to share his code, if this is true, i would be really careful with those roms he created. think about it, everybody else shares their code (its a requirement) but when they asked him to share his, he disappears? I hope I am wrong...

It sucks that he's not around right now before this stuff went down he promised an update and i'm jonesing for one!

I've moved to another build, but don't like it as much.

What happened to trip's threads?

It was there last night before i go to sleep...why mods keep deleting his threads...and if the same happen to other devs they just clean the thread???
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

i have a same question. whats happening ??
i'm waitting for his update (maybe 1.6.0 )

too much sh**t going on in that thread.
anyway, not fare to ppl who want to use his ROM

I agree, don't delete his thread...just delete posters who start issues...TRIP and on a roll until some TROLLs kept coming in and starting FLAME wars. Of course TRIP has to stand up and not take that crap.
I can not stand how people keep calling ANDROID open and FREE...it is not!!! Do you think ROVIO would allow us to copy code from their ANDROID software and use it for our own benefit...hell no, neither would any ANDROID software developer even if we THANKED them...they would laugh us out of the room if we said, HEY i can't figure how to do this can i use that part of your code in my app.
Just open up his threads and LEAVE the mad scientist alone for god sake. He does not want to be interfered with again. DO what MODS should do and just delete the posts you think offensive or in TRIPS case lock the thread and only allow paid users of your software to have access to post.
LET HIM CODE and LET HIM SPEAK his mind but don't shut down his threads unless he physically threatens to kill or dismember someone.

Plus one...

waiting....

fail.And we were waiting official rom to steal the libs and the files.
once again trip showed his capabilities

I have a few suggestions to spare, if I may, so that such threads won't be turned into flame-wars:
FACTS:
1. Trip is no longer a part of XDA community and he has moved on to a totally different community, Modaco, which is in no way affiliated with XDA.
2. Trip continues to develop his ROM and distribute them on Modaco, which is in no way affiliated with XDA.
3. The reasons behind Trip's ban from XDA are pretty much well-known by now, as are his new whereabouts (in case anyone missed it, it's Modaco, which is in no way affiliated with XDA.)
What I want to suggest is that when Trip reaches a major breakthrough in development and only after he releases a ROM including the said breakthrough in public, then and only then, whoever is interested in the general well-being and progress of the X10 community, should contact the developers that are currently a part of XDA and let them know about it.
Because that way, there will be no public arguments, no lovers, no haters, no trolls parading in front of our innocent eyes.
All in all, I am fairly certain that most people interested in custom ROMs, know where Trip is releasing his work now. Heck, even a simple Google search will do the trick for those not yet informed.
Let's try to keep each to his own and avoid unecessary conflicts.
That being said, I am following the ongoing development over at Modaco and appreciate everything that's being achieved there. I just don't feel the need to open up a new thread, stepping on a minefield, every time I see something interesting there. And rest assured, I would feel and post the exact same thing on Modaco, if it was the either way around.
And in case anyone missed my point, don't forget: Modaco is in no way affiliated with XDA.
Cheers!

I'll be the devil's advocate her and disagree with you. This is the Xperia X10 General forum, meaning that anything closely related to the X10 is allowed here. This has something to do with the x10, and hell, it's a huge thing. I never knew about this until this thread, so I thank this thread.
Yes, it will probably turn into a flame war, but technically there is nothing wrong with posting this news here because someone, regardless of forums, has made a major breakthrough for our phone, which, Modaco or XDA, we all (hopefully) love.

Yes, maybe you are right and maybe I was too fast to judge this particular thread.
I apologise, I seem to be carried-away by the many threads that turn into flame wars and end up locked every day, which is frustrating, imho.
Only one point I maintain: the ROM is not released yet, so one thing to consider is the well-known over-hype and the bitter disappointment afterwards (a.k.a unlocked bootloader, GB new features, etc...)
So, all I am saying is to be a little more conservative.
Maybe there should be a sticky thread in Development with progress made for X10, location-independent.
Again, sorry if I ignored the informative character of the OP, but it seems that such threads rarely stay limited to information.

This has nothing to do with what's happening with XDA or Modaco. This is what's happening with the X10. I agree that posts here about the the release of a new Trip thread on Modaco is wrong, but Imo there's nothing wrong giving info about a huge breakthrough that's happened, regardless of forums. There's a difference between that and advertising someone else's ROM.
@My_Immortal.
Yeah, I agree with you, I'm not going to fall into all that hype just yet. I remember when he said 1080P breakthrough was coming and nothing came, so I'm cautiously hopeful, but Trip is a very good dev so I think it might be true, let's wait and see

Ultimate Rom Requirement specification thread

Hello Guys,
This is my first post on XDA forum because I'm new here. I didn't post any threads till now because I didn't want to spam the forum with any unwanted thread or duplicate ones, but I have tried many Roms and I already knew some really cool and helpful guys like Jader, Mechmetal and Bestttt :fingers-crossed:
I used to work as a software engineer, but currently i'm working as a software quality control engineer.
and as I said earlier I have tried many Roms and I also have found lots of bugs and enhancements required.
I wanted to post comments but sadly I'm not allowed to because terms and conditions stated that I can't comment unless I post at least 10 threads :crying:
Anyway, I just wanted to suggest something,
I suggest organizing a thread for something like a requirement sheet for each Rom, speaking about myself I installed lots of roms but I removed it again because it has less customizations , or it doesn't have a built in application that I really want or it has another one I don't like (ex: toggles) while it had been a fast and stable one.
so why don't we find a way to collect the requirements of the users installing JB Roms, and ICS roms so the developers can put their effort in two really cool and helpful roms to have most of our needs:good:
It was just a suggestion
I'm have Xperia Arc [lt15i] with AOKP M1 - Fusion Kernel 3.9

Given how many ROMs there are, along with the fact that everyone's different this is a fruitless task, and why I learned to mod myself. You also can't expect Devs/Themers to cater for every last persons requirements.

Which are always good, but like I've said we're all different and what you may like in a ROM I might not so what you might call a "requirement" I might call a gimmick.
Also, you don't need to start 10 threads to post in Development, you just need to make 10, preferably helpful posts elsewhere.

I didn't start 10 threads to post in the Development section, I downloaded and tried most of the Roms in the development section,
The number of posts near my name are just replies
plus, my posts in the development sections are not requests , so I could still use it normally since I registered on XDA without the need to comment
Thanks anyway it was just an Idea that I thought about and I just wanted to share.

I have tested many JB Based Roms/ Kernels if you have created modded one where WiFi / WiFi Tethering is Stable and working I would be much obliged of having and Using it on my phone ... The best Rom / Kernel I have tried so far has been LuPus V4 Kernel with CAMPS Rom but unfortunately like all the rest WiFi Tethering has been insignificant and unusable Where as I have to constantly downgrade back to JellySandwich / Ark Knight Combo (ICS) Untill there's been a fix ... So There's are my 2 needs hope that helps with your conquest in making a Universal Rom

Let OUYA know we want custom ROMs supported

I'm keeping a track of how many requests we get relating custom firmware, and from what I'm seeing the user base is not as interested in custom firmware as you might think, which is echoed by this thread (we've shipped 60,000+ units, and less than 10 people have commented in the last month in this thread about getting access to recovery mode).
That doesn't mean that we're shooting the idea down, you need to keep in mind that in terms of priorities this is way down the list as you'd expect from any feature where it's being requested by less than one tenth of one percent of the user-base.
I'm sure @Wajeemba is familiar with CM requests that a very small minority of the user-base are very passionate about, so hopefully you can understand why we're not rushing to work on this.

Update: this what OUYA thinks of its customer's requests...
Posted by alsutton on http://ouyaforum.com/showthread.php?3193-Let-OUYA-know-we-NEED-to-be-able-to-boot-to-recovery
and a I monitor this forum as well, so thanks for the heads up you're trying to artificially raise the numbers beyond the level of people who'd normally ask for it.
My *personal* view (that's mine, not OUYAs) is that you don't NEED to be able to boot to recovery, you LIKE access to it. The system works fine without being able to boot to recovery, many people use it without even knowing what recovery is, so it's not needed to use your OUYA. A number of people have managed to make their device unbootable with just root access by experimenting with things like compiling new kernels, then expect OUYA to fix them. Personally I think this is a bit unreasonable (if you started changing parts of the engine in a car and it broke down would you go back to the dealership?), and I'm sure most of the user-base would like support focusing on things other than user created problems (yes, shipping, we know).
So just a "lets all post bomb -->this<-- thread" isn't going to get it raised up the priority list. All I have to do now is factor in the number of "me too posts" from people who may not actually know what they're asking for.

Hey +OUYA* devs! Don't worry about rooting your device (or purchasing the pre-rooted device). We will provide builds and instructions that can be used to restore the device to 'unrooted' factory state!

Official response to my support ticket:
The OUYA is based on Android which makes it far more open than other consoles, and an OUYA gives your root access which gives you access to far more access than most Android devices. We currently do not provide instructions on how to access recovery mode, and I can not comment on whether or not that may change in the future.

I was all set to buy an Ouya, but after reading this forum I'm not so sure. Ouya doesn't sound like a company I want to support. What do you guys think about the Mad Catz console coming out. I want Ouya's hardware not their restrictions. It seems like it will be more open. And to the guys at Ouya, don't hinder the peeps at xda, they are the ones that are going to make you successful.

I posted, thank you for the link. Was wondering where I should voice my concerns.

I posted[/URL as well. I based it mainly as a fail safe for things just happen. The other comments, were more based on others assumptions.

http://www.madcatz.com/m-o-j-o-android-micro-console/
What do you guys think about this. It seems like more what I want. I think if Ouya is going to be restrictive, all dev support should go to a better company. Lets face it, people are looking at the Ouya for what it could be not what it is. It has the hardware to easily replace all the Google Tvs, Apple TVs and Rokus. I actually want it to dual boot into Google TV. Anyway, the Ouya will be releasing soon and there will be many tech articles about it. If we can go onto those articles and leave comment about how the Ouya isn't the good solution we can make a good company popular. I think most people buying the Ouya are just assuming that they will be able to hack it any way they want.

Confused
So do we or dont we have access to a custom recovery? Based on the dev forum I see we have a customer recovery available..what issues are there with it? Also i see WIP for multiple custom roms and even a kernel. I can't imagine one would waste time and making these if there is no viable way to flash them.....
Any information would be much appreciated.

The custom recovery works, many confirmed it on that thread including myself, as for the rest there stillb WIP's

Yes, we can do those things - the heart of the issue is that if any of those things mess up you have the potential to brick your device with no way to recover short of sending it back to OUYA, Inc. Most android device provide a method to enable a usb recovery mode in the event of such a drastic failure, the OUYA console does not. How many people are willing to test/use software that could potentially brick their $100 device that they have been waiting months to get?

The thread title is a bit misleading/confusing, recovery is accessible by rebooting to recovery. The problem is that you there is no way to boot to recovery via hardware except crashing the device during boot up using a keyboard.
They have gone about it all wrong, by allowing users the tools to brick OUYA but not the tools to fix it. Forgive me if I am wrong, but booting in to recovery does not allow us to do anything we can't already do by rebooting in to recovery. I have to wonder if behind closed doors they are moving towards removing root access.
