[Q?] Freedom on OUYA? - Ouya General

Mod edit: Thread closed. See last post for details.

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked and deleted, or is even allowed to be discussed as it's making people aware of the hack.
Anyway, never used it and never will. There could be some malicious code hidden away inside that's stealing your personal info.
Why don't you try it and report back with your findings.

Why R all the HDMI threads getting closed??

Can anyone give me a detailed answer as to why the HDMI threads are getting closed? I would like to stay informed of the progress and share my experiences with the dev... isn't that why we all come to XDA?

My guess is because they often turn into arguments of "so-and-so stole code from so-and-so."

This and people report them. I've reported two myself because if I want to watch drama, I'd turn on Jerry Springer or Maury. I come here to learn, see what's new with Android developements, get updates on CM7, MIUI, and the like, and maybe even contribute here and there.
If the HMDI threads can keep out the "Down with Teamwin" and "Orrebmas is two-faced" crap, and maintain meaningful dialog, then the threads will live a nice long life...we'll see what happens to this one.
The XDA drama queen is in the house! Now where were we?
lol j/k
As long as no one pokes me with a stick again, I'm done with it.
These guys are right, it just turns into a feud between teamwin supporters and the ooremmbas(however you spell it) supporters. That guy and team win have achieved awesome things lets just accept the greatness and enjoy our evos. Who cares, ooreammbas gave us hdmi, teamwin gave us 4g the 2 single most important things on our evo. I support them all man.

I don't understand all the drama either. People just need to shut up and enjoy the awesome work that these devs do. Orrebmas has a thread over on Android Central that seems to be staying civil and on topic.

[GPL- Violation] Full HDMI Mirroring(Released)--(NEW UPDATED APP) claims GPL violations. My question to the admins is this. Is the beta apk posted in violation of GPL or the modified kernels or both? If it was the kernel then all that had to be done was have the posted kernels removed. If it was the apk. then there are a hell of a lot of threads that need to be closed on this site.
My personal opinion with regards to this is, the rules are black and white so follow them and enforce them AT ALL TIMES. If there is any confusion/requests (in this case there's a whole lot) as to what the violation is, cite examples of the offending file or post. If no example is given then is looks like typical political BS. As far as "who stole code from whom", post code or GTFO.
To all devs. If you claim to be working on something post links to, or examples of progress or don't post. When you don't show examples it makes the thread/post look like vaporware or BS.
To members. Posting nothing more than "cool" or some of useless drivel makes no sense in a dev thread. If you like then there's a "thanks" button, use it and move on. Dev threads are for test results, bug reports and feature requests. If you want to chat about something in the dev thread there's a "General" forum just a click away. If a general discussion thread is started then request that the OP post a link to it in the first post.

I believe you misunderstood that post. What he meant was that people who already donated would not have to pay for the final release of the app; not the beta. The beta that is out now is the same whether you have donated or not and is available to anyone.
@Lokifish: It is the SBC HDMI kernel that is in violation of GPL. There is a stock HTC kernel where the only change are the HDMI drivers that were added to it which is not in violation of anything. The app is not in violation of anything, either. A member of this site posted the kernel here after orrebmas had removed the link to it voluntarily to not be in violation of any GPL rules.

That's my thought as well, but instead of closing the thread and deleting everything all it would have taken is the removal of one file to be in compliance. It's akin to formatting a HDD because you find one wallpaper offensive, very childish IMHO.
Off topic but related. TW's development is very tight lipped and from the two vids I've seen I've already found flaws, this doesn't benefit development.

I think that due to the drama that has been circling around anything related to Evo HDMI lately, there is little to no tolerance from the mods for anything that doesn't 100% follow the rules. I myself am partly to blame, because I have been beyond outspoken with my opinions. However, I'm ready to let it go and hopefully the other protagonists to this soap opera are, too.
Maybe someone can start a new thread and it can be kept clean. I'm not going to do it seeing as I am probably not the most popular person on the XDA Evo forum right now, but I think someone should.

Him not releasing the kernel source changes makes it a GPL violation regardless.
Gotta pay to play, be a true citizen and report the denizens of the internet for GPL violations!
ooremmbas's project is not open sourced ... and he fully intends to release it as a payed product. He's made no mystery about that. Even if it's not in literal violation of a certain rule ... it's certainly against the spirit of XDA, so I couldn't care less if it gets shutdown.

The gpl is more than just a rule made up by xda, it is a legal agreement you agree to in order to use the linux kernel.

If that's the case then there are a lot of threads on XDA that need to be deleted. Actually lets follow precedence and just lock and delete the whole site. This whole thing goes deeper than just his work, it's the "pick and choose" application of forum rules and GPL.

What are your options then? Are you going to support a closed development project just because you'll get the app for free? From what little I've seen of the alternative it's already flawed but find me the thread where it's discussed so I can voice this. You can't.

Need poll deleted from thread

It's pretty sad that I have had to post in a big thread regarding this and had to directly try and PM a moderator to have this done and still not had this taken care of. I have people asking questions regarding the poll and I have to tell them to disregard it because I, the creator of my own thread, can't delete a poll that I made. Makes no sense.
So, FOR THE LAST TIME, WILL A MODERATOR DELETE THE POLL ON THIS THREAD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959776
Thanks. Appreciate it. I'll be bumping and re-posting until the poll gets deleted. I shouldn't have to do 3 different things to have a problem taken care of that shouldn't even be a problem.
I'm sure that you are a helpful person, and that many people appreciate your work here,...
But can't help feeling that this is a bit over aggressive and unnecessary.
Over a poll.
Posted out in public.
With "threats" to keep bumping until your (frankly minor) problem is taken care of.
Maybe you could just make a Big Red Notice on the OP about the poll?
(editing, so I don't bump.) : I just don't think this will endear you to the XDA staff, or community, ya know?
It wouldn't be over-aggressive or unnecessary if this wasn't the 3rd time I've tried to get the poll deleted. If the moderators who are put in the position to moderate would check their private messages on here and on IRC, this never would have happened.
I will keep re-posting this if this thread is deleted and I will keep bumping it until a moderator, whose job it is to moderate, does his job.
It's a simple concept, really.
I PM'd toast. I PM'd him on IRC. I posted in a big thread for people to report or make requests to moderators. Nothing happened. I'm not going to put it on my thread as I shouldn't have to. It's my thread. I should be able to delete my own polls. It makes no sense that I can't.
Oh yeah. Bump.

Edit: Anyone got salt for my popcorn?
I believe only admins can remove polls, not mods. Is mikechannon still around? Try sending him a pm.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
not wrong... because i said mod. There are plenty of admins, but aren't they not for any specific section? look at the bottem of the general forum section, you see that number of mods? .... fail.
I've seen plenty of Senior Moderators from other boards step in here and close threads that they aren't in charge of moderating. If they can do that, they can delete a poll. I don't understand why it's this difficult to have such a simple task done? I should be able to delete it myself, but can't. Silliest thing ever.
I was told by a senior mod in this thread that senior mods can edit polls and admins can remove them. According to this thread, there are three admins (including mikechannon who removed my poll when I pmed him about it). So to remove a poll, you need to pm one of those three people.
btw, that first thread I mentioned that said to reach out to an admin is the first result when searching the term "how to remove a poll" (without quotes). just sayin.
for some perspective, I have a ton of people in my office that we allow access to edit certain information, but none of them have access to remove it entirely. I imagine admins vs mods are set up the same way. Good luck.
Voted...awesome poll.

And thus it begins again.

Now we're getting to the point where nothing belongs anywhere. Seriously, stop ****ting on us productive and helpful members. And now apparently voicing your opinion doesn't belong anywhere either. This place used to be a fun and open community, now it seems like a place for these "moderators" to openly abuse their power.
Couldn't agree more. COMMUNICATION moderators!

If you are too blind to see the issue then leave. YOU aren't helping, you're making this harder on yourself.
Is there anyone here who's actually willing to work with the mods to resolve these "issues"?
Simply starting a thread complaining isn't going to help if you can't have a civil discussion with the mods.
the issue is that any thread regarding "epic general chat" in the "epic general chat" section is closed, yet numerous unrelated flaming, trolling threads remain open.. how is a thread asking where to begin learning to develop for the epic off topic in the "epic" general chat?
Ok, so which threads were closed that you feel shouldn't have been? Apart from the two that were closed by Mr. Clown?

What planet are you from? The issue is you mods keep closing helpful and meaningful threads with no explanation, then leaving the useless and detrimental ones open for the trolls to devour. Obviously there is some sort of disconnect, so please sort out your internal troubles before coming in here flaunting your moderator status. Chris41g and I have been here for quite some time so we're no stranger to the overpowering by mods, but at some point it has to stop and I think now is a great time. We go months and months without seeing a single moderator and now all of a sudden you guys come in and starting closing/deleting threads left and right with no explanation. Please refer me to whoever you have as a supervisor, I would like to speak to them directly if not tonight then tomorrow.

How does that help the op to just tell him not to post this, but give no reason why? I honestly thought you were implying that the users wouldn't like it beccause its an affiliate link. You never mentioned a single rule in your first post to him.

Be realistic. I realize many people here are so anal about posting in wrong forums and always go about ' out of topic. Delete thread please'. Didn't know Internet had such draconian rules. And it seem to me people just get kicks from flaming all the 'noobs' in xda talking about its 'former glory', without noobs .
Now I understand why people shy away from Android and prefer the simpler iphone. It's because they won't face criticism for being new to the area. Remember we are all once a noob. People should be more helpful instead of so hostile over here.

The reason I posted is to let the other people that help keep the forum clean know,that I had reported, hence saving the moderators from dealing with multiple reports.
Furthermore, have you stopped to consider the op might be a scammer?(Apologies op) and that is why rules exist, in order to minimise the risk of such occurrences.
If you have a complaint about me, then feel at liberty to report me. If not, then you know what to do.

That's strange. There's not one mention of reporting anything in your post. Looks like that message might have got lost in your piss-poor attempt to be witty.

Further more the op has posted 3 times in different forums, and one has been locked already, awaiting the same for other 2!

writing "reported" is inflammatory, so I use ©®™ so that the other people that help out around here know that it has been reported, for the reason I previously stated.
So now and for future reference you know what it means.
slappy©®™ takes no offence to you not enjoying his humour, it just proves you can't keep everyone happy, but he will endeavor to keep, at least, some of the people happy and smiling.
Oh, for the love of-
Slappy is absolutely right! He's right to report it and this thread is likely to get shut down by the moderators. There's a reason we have law, order, and proper threads for appropriate requests! Don't be churlish. Also, read rule #11 before you start flaming people for doing the right thing;
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.

I never said OP was absolutely right. My point being people here flaming for every small things. Sure go ahead and report the thread, no need to add insult to injury and go about being all sarcastic. Just let the moderators do their job.
Don't you think applying ' law and order' is a bit far fetch here? I do not believe OP has any ill intents other than having a question.
Sometimes I don't get the moderators or some forummers. No offense but I feel that there is nothing wrong with the having discussions about things related to s3 in the GENERAL section. Just like why I don't understand why the thread regarding sunlight readability of s3 was closed. Sometimes I come into this forum and feel that it's quite dead, with only very few threads that are alive. Many threads on comparison of Iphone and s3 were closed. I mean why can't we post apple news here, we s3 users can discuss about how superior our s3 are to the iphone! its quite troublesome to switch to and forth from iphone section to s3 section if we wanna discuss about both phones isn't it. I
I might be wrong but I do not believe having more threads and discussions, even those that may be slightly out of topic, will cost a whole lot of bandwidth . Why not make the general section more lively other than sticking with the!'jelly bean discussion' and 'jb leaks bugs' thread alone?
