[Q] What happened to Epic Experience?

Looking for 1.2.0... I see activity in the thread at 2:40am but the sticky post goes to a shut down notice... anybody?

Mods locked it because he released 1.2.0 early to donators

Maybe I should have donated... are we all mad about this or is this something that will go away soon?

Mods got mad that he was releasing to donators and they think he was asking for money for the ROM.
Flipz/Fresh does this for the Hero and the Evo which makes no sense..

Well, this is sad for a couple reasons.
1) This is an established developer, who never required anything for use of his roms, and had over 10 revisions located here. He *rewarded* his donators for supporting him. This is not to be confused with a *few* other rom chefs with no proven track record, not released anything to the board and asking for money for a rom. This dev is in a diffrent league and should be treated diffrently IMO.
2) He had alot of users using his roms, he had alot of support and Q&A that is all gone now, the thread is gone but people still use his roms and may want support or something to continue. I dont think making the thread *dissapear* is the correct action. It also insinuates Guilty before proven innocent as the dev is punished before things are worked out.
My 2 cents

I think the mods should explain themselves and see if the community sees any problems with schiz... I for one do not begrudge the guy for early release to donators... fact is this is the american way which I am proud to be a part of.

This is especially lame, because now I have no idea where the hell to get the thing. What if I WANT to donate? He's not charging for the ROM. He's just releasing early to donations.

I agree. I have been using Schizo's rom (1.1.6 w/Mixup kernel) for a couple weeks now and was greatly looking forward to version 1.2. He has done the best on incorporating compatibility with different kernels as well as prompt support.
I think the community is owed an explanation and a way to contact Schizo to see his side of the story.

i agree... he has supported the rom, stayed up late to get out the newest version early and always said he was releasing it regually as well.....

His ROMs actually work and you all freaking delete his thread? What the heck is wrong with you all. Stomping on a DEV, this is like the crap Apple does. Totally Lame. You all need to to reinstate this guy. Folks in this community "donate" money to DEVs and to keeping this site up and running. If word gets out that MODs are deleting threads for pointless reasons then people are going to pull their money out of this site and will start to hurt then help XDA.
Put him back-online and get the MOD to explain his actions!

I agree.
The Epic needs Devs and he seemed like a good one.
I understand the mods hesitance for his methods, but they should lay down GROUND RULES if they think he did something wrong.
I'm fine with it being released early. Call it "beta testing" for those who donated. In fact, with many new ROMs I usually wait a few days in case there are bugs.
The mods should allow the donate early-beta test model, stating it must be released publicly within X days.

Those of us who had donated have received an email from schiz. He says hes trying to work it out with the mods. Hopefully theyll get it worked out, if not, he'll pop up on his own site.
I ran fresh for months on my hero, but i think his donators-get-it-first was based off his website, not xda. I guess because schiz stated that donators would get it early, he got in trouble. If the mods really want to stop this kind of thing, then ban any developer who links to a donation account. But they wont do that, and shouldnt, because devs do deserve donations. But i guess you better not point to the donate link, otherwised youre banned.

I have the latest update and am unsure on installing it. I don't want to install something that I won't have any support for, this is ridiculous. He puts his time, energy and money into making a rom and releases it to some people who have given him donations because they liked his rom so much, nothing wrong with it in my opinion.

Schizo and I are going to be working on a site tonight, since he has the domain and the web space now, we are going to work something up.
Stay tuned. Epic Experience will be right back .

Like I said, he should offer exclusive "beta test" to people via their paypal e-mail addresses.
Then he can keep it off the forums, but still give reason to donate.
I've been on all sides of the equation (developer, donator, and leecher). I think it's fair. Just as long as he releases it, in full, to the leechers within X time. He seems like a quality developer.

Wtf schizo was an awesome dev. He was really dedicated. So what if he released them early to donators. Like someone else saidd, that's the american way. I expect to wait a little longer for something that's free. I understand completely.
I don't get why he was given the banhammer. Unless he said "you can't get 1.2 unless you donate." Then I don't see how it violates tos

If you donated, you will continue to get support, don't worry, he isn't giving up just like that.
Epic Experience will continue to get support, so don't worry about that.

guess I don't like the phrase leecher... but I guess if I don't pay I get called names... while this thing is in hot dev I wait to find what I want to keep and what I will call quits on... when I find the "end" I donate... until then I would rather be called a tester... when things go wrong I explain what's going on that might be fixed... in that case I'm a tester... not a leecher... just sayin'
bring back the "greatest epic experience"

[Fundraiser] Vibrant for Eugene373 to develop on! [11/28/2011]

Hey Eugene said he wouldn't mind getting a vibrant if the community donated but he said he's scared of the problems that might come. Like people demanding updates and such. But if you changed the cm7 donation thread to Eugene and put what Eugene don't want to happen some might understand and obey his wishes.

Hey Vibrant community.
Remember Eugene? That awesome guy who's helped make what our Vibrants are today. He's willing to develop for us again and bring us more of his awesome stuff. Maybe even an awesome, stable ICS. As you may have noticed, he's been helping around, but he's using his wife's phone. His wife doesn't like that too much. He's willing to take a Vibrant from the community if they're willing to give it.
Before you post any bull or a 'yes! awesome!' do know that Eugene in no way needs to give out ETAs or post daily, he has a life, just like everyone of us, he does this because he likes it, not because he has to.
If you guys are willing to support him, he's willing to support us.
What do you guys say?
Vibrant for Eugene! Let's go!

if you have nothing positive to say, or dont want to donate, please dont post here.
im a broke college freshman but im willing to donate $10 towards a device for CM crew.
cheers

Wasn't this fundraiser done before?

I don't care what they do with the money we donate. They can buy a device or pizza or beer or hookers, whatever they want.
I just want the Cyanogenmod team to know that the Vibrant community fully supports them and hopes that our device can stay in the CM family.
I'm willing to put in $20.

$10 towards a device for atinm too, but only if he states that he actually wants to continue work on it if we get him a device.

Did'nt he say he was sick of the vibrant?

This is a waste of time you guy's. we have plenty of talented dev's to rely on one specific team. The longer everyone continues to feed into the man saying he is "Sick" and has "given up," the "Bigger" these men's head's grow. Some one will either port the latest cm9 once it is released for i9000 or we simply must move on. (it's called evolution) Samsung is the one to officially blame for there lack of device support. I refuse to have to bribe someone to keep their loyalty. I know there will be CM9 with or without the help of Hacksung. This wasn't meant to troll or offend.

i hope this keeps the wheels turning, but i doubt it will. the only reason i say that is because i find it extreme difficult to believe that the CM team (the largest, most popular, most skilled, most coveted Android development team) doesnt have enough money from donations to buy a cheap used vibrant on ebay. i also find it very hard to believe that none of them (or even a dev loosely associated with them) does not have T-Mobile.
IMO, i think that was atinm's polite way of saying fck the vibrant. im not faulting him in any way, im sure it was a calculated decision.
i just want people to think before giving their money away as a result of frustration/impatience.
good luck.

They call themselves team douche for a reason.
Sent from my SGH-T959

Whats the point of this? If CM7 is any indication, it will probably take about 4-5 months for a stable release even if they do support CM9 for the vibrant. By that time most of us who are on a two year plan for the vibrant is only a few months away from a new phone upgrade with the next release of android.
Chances are any money you donate will go to the next phone that are coming out to get them further and further away from the vibrant.

^^^^^^^THISSSSSSSSSS^^^^^^^
i am not against donating to devs in any way. however i AM against people blindly throwing their money around, when there is absolutely no indication that their hopes will be fulfilled.
sometimes devs make it clear that donations just go into one big pot and are considered charity, or a thank you. on the other hand, some devs setup serperate paypal accounts for donations to a specific need.
in this particular case, the dev has clearly stated that he has less than no intentions of pursuing further development on this device, yet people still want to throw money at him.
i understand the reasoning, but if your "donations" are being made with a specific need in mind, make sure the dev not only understands, but also accepts/agrees to this.

And that's why this was a proposition, not official. He has made up his mind, he will not support the Vibrant, no matter what. So.. I guess that settles it.

with that said though, really how much work would need to be done to port a sgs rom over to the vibrant, sure battery life wont be kick ass at first but most kernel such as glitch/sixstrings dev for either the cappy or the sgs and just tweak a few files and build it for the vibrant, probably wont have working gps but id be surprised if we didtn get some sort of kanged cm build.
you could always build the sgs cm rom with with tweaks to put in the vibrant specific libs, also keep in mind that the g1 lost support for cm but there are plenty of un official builds and they have to do a hell of a lot more to port a rom to that phone.

He said they would port it soon just stop there's no need for this

I think people might not completely understand why I support a fundraising effort.
I don't really care about any dev getting a device or anything like that. I just want to make sure that all the people who have worked hard to get CM7 working on the vibrant know how much we appreciate it. We hope that they will continue to support the device for the long term but that this is just a gift to say THANK YOU.
I feel we need something like this to deal with the trolls that have pissed off multiple vibrant devs. I see this as a fundraiser just to say "thank you and sorry about all the jerks".
I am pretty sure CyanogenMod can use any funds we donate to them. I personally intend to give a yearly donation to them anyways since they have made my android experience SO much better than stock. Since i am giving anyways i would rather do it as part of an overall fundraising drive with the Vibrant community than just as an individual.
I have no expectations that they will continue development for the Vibrant, i just think it is important that we show them how much we appreciate them.

Let's get a N8 to a great rom developer beanstown106

I contacted the developer beanstown106 about getting him a note 8.0 so he can port his ROM from the note 2 over to the Note 8 and he said he would be willing to.
For the people who don't know who beanstown106 is he is the developer of one of the best ROMs for the note 2 (i know there are many ROMs and i have tried a ton of them) It is the ROM I am currently using and have been for months as it has so many goodies including sd swap, custom kernel options and a lot, I mean A LOT to offer. Here is a link so you can see his work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032447
Let's do this so the note 8.0 can be a much better device then it already is
He set up this gofundme page already and here goes the first $20 http://www.gofundme.com/2qa1q8?utm_campaign=Emails&utm_source=sendgrid.com&utm_medium=email

Very important ! Donations do not guarantee the developer will get the device
There are no guarantees the developer will release anything just because you donated.

once the s3 gets the premium suite everything should even out nicely with the same mods across multiple devices. the only device that is irritating me is the note10 cuz im new to the whole tablet mode type of stuff phone and phhablet should be quite easy for me aka n2,s3,s4 and n8. and obviously as devices get older they will be retired.. my baseline build for the note8 will be ready soon just got in from work gonna chow and then i will need someone to test flash

Porting the N2 ROM to the N8 wont be hard as he stated already the specs are the same and the only difference between those devices is the resolution
I am sure when the time comes he will be doing a beans ROM for the note 3 but for now all we have is this because the S4 is not even out on verizon
Come on guys lets make this happen $400 more to go or 40 people $10 each :fingers-crossed:

See my post in the development Thread.

Bump, don't forget every dollar counts

I think this should be mentioned in any donation thread in the very first post. I am only saying this to protect gracious donaters and avoid any potential confusion regarding expectations. I've seen many threads like this turn out very ugly (see Galaxy S2 T-989), people were filing lawsuits, police reports, etc.
I'm not trying to call out the OP or developer but it's important that the OP mention:
- Donations do not guarantee the developer will get the device
- There are no guarantees the developer will release anything just because you donated.
Be aware, you're making a donation. Since there are no guidelines laid out in the OP, don't have any expectations if you do decide to invest.
With that being said I hope everyone gets a Note 8.0, it's the best tablet out, imo.

Hyperdrive ROM for Note 12.2

Hello to Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 owners.
I am starting this thread to see who is interested in a Hyperdrive ROM.
If you are not familiar, it is a ROM developed by sbreen94 on predominantly Samsung Galaxy devices. Probably one of the best and most popular ROMs out there. Check a few of the Galaxy development threads and you will understand.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4600715
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4600715
Sbreen has been developing for Samsung Galaxy Tablets for a while, but he does not use (or own) a 12.2. However, he said if we can put a Note 12.2 in his hands he would be more than willing to create the ROM. The model that I would look for is the Wifi version (900).
Is there any interest in this? I believe I can find a used tablet for around $350.
At this point I am just wondering if there are any folks who would like to contribute toward the cost of a tablet for the developer. If not, so be it. But if we can come close to that $350 mark, then I'll start looking.
Thanks,
B Nabour

I'm in. Put me down for $40.

Can get a good refurbished P905 for about 380usd..I will also donate

Hyperdrive would be awesome on my tablet. I love it on my note 3.

Delete

No pressure, but no donations, no Hyperdrive
About Hyperdrive ROM for the Note Pro 12.2
Sbreen is willing to develop his Hyperdrive Rom for our device, but he needs a tablet. I can get him a tablet at a discount, but it still will cost in the $250 - 300 range. So far I only see one $40.00 donation, which is good, but not enough to proceed.
Again, if interested in helping fund the purchase of a tablet for Sbreen then please let me know. Also, the tablet that I would purchase would be the Wifi model, as that one seems to be the most popular varient.
No pressure - I just wanted to give an update.
Thanks,
Barb

Is there somewhere online you could set up a page to allow people to make actual donations & see how much has been & needs yet to be raised? Something kickstarterish. I think that would get more responses & avoid the issue of broken promises upon your attempt to collect on them. What are kickstarter's fees like? Once such a page is set up you can then get readers to attempt to promote the url as well as make a donation.
BTW Put me down for $20.
[Edit] Kickstarter style rewards could work quite well if the dev is willing to allow some minimal aspects to be dictated to some extent by the donors. Even just a mention in the credits. Is the dev reading this thread?

Good idea, but I don't have extra time to research kickstarter. I am pretty busy with my day job -- all I was hoping to do was provide a paypal account and collect donations.
Also, responding to your other question, I am not sure if Scott Breen is monitoring this thread. Here is a little history:
I have "worked' with Scott in the past -- several months ago he had agreed to develop Hyperdrive for the Note 10.1, and we were able to get him that tablet, and he is still developing. I believe he just uploaded a new ROM version recently. I used Hyperdrive on my Note 3 smartphone, and then on the Note 10.1 (which I don't even use anymore because I love this 12.2 much.)
At any rate, I contacted him a week or so ago and asked if he might be willing to do the same for the 12.2 (which I now use exclusively.) His response was that he will be happy to do so if Ican find him a test tablet. I was just thinking if people who use the 12.2 would like Hyperdrive then they would contribute $20-40 and we could get going. But the response has been slow, so I suspect the interest is just not there.
If someone else would like to take over collecting funds that would be great.
Barb

Understood. Shame though. A few ppl did say they'd donate above, they just didn't specify an amount. Could those ppl post their offers? I guess you'd only need ten to twenty or so & if you get close maybe a few will up their existing offer. Would mentioning this thread in other subforums here be allowed & get anymore attention? Any mods reading?

Would this only be for the Regular NON-Verizon N12.2? I have the Verizon variant with Root, and if something like this could be done, I'd gladly help by donating.

Yes i know about this thread and would be happy to build you guys a killer rom for your device. Posting your pledges of what you feel is reasonable in the thread is great.
Thanks for your support and lets get it rocking in here :good:

I am interested. And I wanted to donate $20.

20 Bucks from me. :laugh:

Recap of donations
Hi guys,
To date it looks like we have $80 in pledges
fokus $20
muzzy996 $40.00
cauli $20.00
almost half way there. I will keep tracking and keep everyone updated. Please help spread the word -- it would be so nice to have Hyperdrive running these tablets!
Thanks again,
Barb
PS - In case anyone wonders, I am not donating because my donation will be in the acquiring of the tablet and postage to get it to developer. That will run about $25.

I'll throw in $20. This POS needs a light rom. My G3 just started to perform like my G2 now that it has Liquid on it. Hyperdrive will do the same for das boot

put me $10...
I would like to ask, if he will add Note 4 spen functions to this tablet.. which is most important case for me.. NOTE4 aircommand,, not Note3

What firmware version are you on? Just want to make sure N4 can be rooted before I update.

Shifty root aftermath (apology)

So its clear to anyone who's read of my root attempt or simply heard through word of mouth or whatever the case is. I'm not the most liked user here I get that no this isn't a thread to get hate or admins /mods etc mad closing the thread this is simply an apology to anyone who feels as though I was a troll a lier etc..this is simply this is partly my experience from it what I've seen from the community afterwards and what exactly went wrong with root attempt.. Now first n for most there's been a lot of hate and bs about me saying I did this or that no straight up whatever it is or who said it its false I own up to what I say and or mistakes. Now I get it y'all got a laugh or got disappointed or are simply mad about the way i type stuff out that's fine. Look I've done a lot of learning rooting ROMs etc now what I did wrong was I tried forcing it like I did my Linux box a couple years back..friend of mine he locked me out of it anyway I didn't know that with android it was a completely different thing to get root. I apologize for misleading anyone my goal was to help people but I failed I'll admit it the project went FUBAR an I completely tossed it out. Past couple months or how ever long its been since BL unlock came I've been looking into rooting devices and custom ROMs and kernels sadly i have literally to much hate around me because of a failure..my own fault I let my head get the best of me although I let everyone down here I just wanna say I'm sorry to everyone. I do not wish to be a hated member of this community Android and Linux have been something I've loved for years I'd like to bring ROMs kernels etc to the table.. But who's going to actually use it if people see how hated I am here or a failure etc. So again I apologize and I've learned from my mistakes now I ask of you the XDA community to accept my apology and move forward I'd like to become a real member here like computerfreak, baybutcher and skrilax_CZ etc just to name a few members. Not really shout outs or anything just saying I see the work the positive response from you all and I'd rather be known for good reasons as for hate comments yes I know I'm in for those it's fine. :/ but I'd like to move forward as a real contributor here and unless people can drop the hate I'm unsure if that'll happen but I hope it does to the members of XDA that I let down I'm sorry truly I am. (Also if you really want to hear what happened with root ask and I'll explain the whole story I didn't wanna type it out if no one cares...that is if anyone reads this anyway)

Everyone got too excited and you over promised. Now it's just a joke people refer to but that's due to time and the fact that the bootloader actually did get unlocked shortly after that incident. I don't hold anything against you, but I'd expect occasional jokes from the community. Actually release something (anything) and everyone will forget.

I hope you are right I've had a lot of hate and that thing with jcase and the TZ exploit that never happened on my end saying I tried getting info on it (mind you I don't steal others work nor would it have helped me due to the fact that goes for bootloaders) and well I'm not willing to screw with bootloaders at all I just want everyone to see I was over my head and was just trying to help is all

i'm tired of people that keep bringing it up, its just a reflection on their character, not yours. as far as i'm concerned its been over since before it was over.

Thanks man just trying to get all this damn mess dealt with I figured straight up apology would calm the waters I can completely understand why people where upset hell I beat myself up over the failure for awhile now actually considered saying F it and just leaving XDA that's how much bs happened for awhile

Honestly, I never understood why people create a thread saying "I'm going to work on XXX" instead of just posting the work itself. I've been a member of XDA since 2009 and I've NEVER seen someone post "I'm working on this" and actually come up with something...this includes root attempts, bootloader exploits, ROM ports, etc.
Usually, the people who come out with these kind of things work on it without having to share it with the world.
Nothing productive comes out from one of those threads so I wasn't sure why the thread was even created.

The problem is you spoke well beyond your abilities.
Learn something simpler first.
Edit stock for a bare bones pre rooted version, then make it flashable.
Compile some already built ROMs just for an idea how it works.
Then attempt building some ROMs that are based off of cm. You may be able to bring us blisspop or carbonrom with some minor help.
After you get a good grasp, perhaps you could then actually maintain a ROM.
I personally would love to see the nexus experience ROM for our device.

I'm working on porting cm 13 to my Asus transformer tf101 so I can actually contribute to the droid turbo so step in the right direction I guess

And the Nexus Experience already has a head start over in the OTHER Quark forum. It was just not updated for the XT1254. So current XT1250/XT1254 -compatible Quark kernel doesn't work with it. But it's already BUILT and ran find on XT1225 until November 2015.
So, that would seem to be very achievable?

Thread cleaned - keep it civil please...

Don't let them get to you. I don't really see how you could have hurt anyone anyhow. Even if you were feeling a little overconfident, at least you tried. I still thank you for giving it an attempt and trying to help others in the spirit of the XDA forums. I was trying at the same time and it was definitely over our heads, but that's how we learn, right? I couldn't have put together a build of CyanogenMod a year ago, but I kept at it. Just don't give up. There will always be someone who pokes fun (appropriate or not).

How would that help the droid turbo community?

Learning to port and build ROMs will strengthen my knowledge of Android then I can use that towards the turbo
