Whats happened to tytung

Ah that's a real shame. He put out some great ROMs but that's what happens when you don't obey the rules I guess. It's also nice to see that the mods are completely unbiased and won't give members preferential treatment due to their titles.

Oddly, tytung's threads were all closed apparently because he stated that he would not support them (although he did update). That is the reason given in @kinfauns closing post(s). This is the first time that I am aware of, of threads being closed due to lack of support by the dev. And I can see no rule which states that a dev MUST provide support.
In fact (some) support for these threads was being provided by members, and that is the case for many threads in which the developer/OP is no longer contributing to xda for whatever reason.
People using tytung's roms and needing support on xda, have no choice now but to seek support from "another place". Is it the intention of xda to force people to use a rival site? Or is it to stop people from promoting a rival site and therefore breaking xda rules?
I am just a bit confused as to why these threads were closed, any clarification would be appreciated.

I agree with Robbie p that the threads should be kept open for the users to help each other. Still if the mods are against it we can have a support thread in the general section.
Feels to lose a great dev

It more looks like few moderators are simply emotionally hurt(you know what I mean) because Tytung's left.
No seriously, this is dumb. I can't post and provide ANY support for Tytungs ROM's(as many other people who got knowledge) because someone closed threads.
Even if there's no Tytung's, WE can provide basic support, for older iterations of ROM. There's much magic still to be done with HD2 android.
This is abusive. Mod responsible for this kind of damage should be punished.

disclaimer ....the following reply is only my opinions
i agree with you ..there are many threads in the hd2 android dev section that should also be closed for no dev support ..in fact 98 percent of them shold be closed for lack of dev support
but what i think was the underlying problem was his links for roms went to links that generated money for him..
and i know if i was a dev that had 3 or 4 different rom threads i wouldnt wanna have to monitor 3 or 4 different q/a&t threads for those roms either that would make 6 or 8 threads a dev would have to monitor ,most dont have the time for that
hell you can see the activity in both sections has almost ground to a crawl ..its as if xda is slowly trying to fade out the hd2 android section
dont be surprised if you see some of the few remaining devs stop making roms and move on to something else
and those posts about about this being a dev thread please post in the q&a section blah blah blah are not helpfull to anyone and just clutter up the dev threads even more then offtopic posts do ..xda is trying to do much to late .ive been on xda since 2010 and there was never a problem with how the threads were maintained and handled ..
hell if the wanna do something good for the forum ..then they should change the signup rules and stop all the lazy people from just coming in new and immediatly posting about something that they couldve searched and read about but are to lazy to and want it all handed to them on a silver plate .....also they could remove people like abumaha who has never posted a single post about how good a rom is ..but always post how do i do this and why doesnt this rom work
ok im off my soapbox now

^ Still don't believe that abumaha is somehow still here :') But yeah I agree with Kam, things haven't been done completely correctly IMO.

+1 to kameirus i agree 143%
and abuhama.. just lol
on off topic on topic, if you want to find tytung , just google "forum tytung android" and you should find his forums

Everyone knows the mod's in question were just looking for an excuse they could give. He had dropped a new hd2 rom about 2 or 3 weeks prior. He had instructions on how to install it in post 1. Exactly how much "support" does a dev have to provide the users anyway? It was bs plain and simple....oh and if you looked at his status later they knocked him down to a "Senior Member"......I haven't seen any of the OTHER idle dev's getting their status pulled for being "idle".
As mentioned..they've done an excellent job of killing off the hd2 forum....there is almost no active development going on and the closest rom to tytungs still has a long list of things marked "not working". Tytung was also the only one producing recent jelly bean kernels with hd2 specific fixes so everything worked.

i had reported all the "thread closed" posts by that mod, and i got:
tytung was not being picked on. This action was not taken lightly, or by kinfauns alone. tytung left us no choices.

but in addition to close his threads, they also lowered him to senior member???
sorry if this is rude, but kinda reminds me of when a kid has his candy bar stoled, and he does everything to take revenge and take it back. enough for me

I do not know who made the decision re Tytung, but it was not made by a matured intellect. I have run systems since 1979 (with over 35 years as a senior networks systems/operations engineer) and have dealt with many experienced administrators, moderators and sysops, and the way this was handled shows nothing but ego-driven/threatened immaturity.
Shame on XDA.

It does feel like some immature revenge.
It's not like only Tytung's got punished, but XDA users who were using his ROM's
I got unnerving thought, that this whole action is to bury HD2 development and make it Low legacy. While it's still in it's strenght despite old age
Shame on you XDA

yeah! i just bet anyone who made this decision to port android and then build it from source and support a device that was never intended to run android in the first place!

Some of you may remember me from back in the "glory days" of Android on the HD2 when Cotulla and Darkstone were making the very first ROMs. I was here daily loading new builds, even when you could not turn the screen off one time or you'd get the SOD. That was when you could only do it through haret.
Fast forward a bit and we had magldr and cLK and where we really had a million options. Personally after a while I would pretty much stick with ACA on SD dual booted with WP7, but there were some really cool things out there to do. I spent many hours trying to troubleshoot people to flash hspl 2.08 or the right radio or to NOT flash certain radios etc. to get things going right.
Tytung was one of the greats as far as ROM and kernel development, and I am not prevaricating when I tell you that there is no XDA Staff on this site who does not respect what Tytung brought to the table. To put it in very simple yet eloquent terms: Dude had skill...
But our standing policy at XDA has always been that we do not keep open development threads with no support. Due to the fact that we just don't talk about individual dealings in public at XDA for privacy concerns we cannot get into specifics. But I can tell you that XDA has zero to gain from a developer such as that no longer supporting development threads here.
When something like this happens, there is no "victory" and no winner. sometimes things just don't work out for various reasons, and then sometimes things work out just fine in the end.
I can respect the disappointment and ambivalence on this matter, and believe me when I say that the HD2 is still a mighty device worthy of respect. I still own an HD2 along with all of the other devices I use, and it can still do some cool stuff. I wouldn't consider it a Legacy Device just yet!

We understand all of this, but why close the threads? If you check the second or third page of the development forum and further, you can see many, and I mean MANY threads of ROMs which are either discontinued or whose developers moved onto other things, other devices. Yet, they are still open, and from time to time you see people bringing them back to surface and getting help. Just because the developer ceased support, it doesn't mean the threads should be closed. Delete his links, remove his other websites, just keep the threads open for members' discussion.
If the developer haven't requested a closure, I don't see a reason why they should be closed.

When a developer publicly announces he will no longer follow the rules, no longer support his work posted here, and is actively trying to recruit members away from XDA to his new site, what do you really expect us to do? Cooperate with this effort? Seriously? Sure there are lots of other threads that have been effectively abandoned by their dev/OP when they moved on to a new device, but we simply do not have the luxury of time to go sift through thousands of threads to find them. When they are reported, we evaluate the situation and then act on it according to our guidelines.
Decisions like this are never made quickly, lightly, or on the fly by a single mod here. Now, I am closing this thread and I would appreciate it if no further threads were opened on this topic as it won't help to resolve the situation but will only make it worse.
You all do not know all of the facts in this situation, nor will you as we must respect tytung's privacy in his communications with us so we will not divulge them publicly. tytung is not banned or blacklisted, and is welcome to return here should he change his mind about following the rules. If he does not want to do that, it is entirely up to him.

Development for Z2 tablet

I have created this thread to prevent spamming the Android Development forum.
Starting point: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58117080&postcount=93

- AOSP for LTE (WIFI will follow according to the guys from FreeXPERIA)
So nothing is "dead".
The Z2 tablet is not a best seller, it is a high-end Android tablet with a very limited user base. Of course devices which have sold an order of magnitude more like the Samsung Galaxy S5 or the HTC One M8 attract more developers, but then look at the forums for the Galaxy S5 Mini, where there is hardly any development at all. Compared to such devices we do very well here.
I personally am glad that we have good developers supporting our tablet and a range of custom ROMs to choose from and I am thankful for the ROMs we have and for the work the developers spend in their free time.
Finally, this is XDA here - if you think there are too few ROMs here feel free to make your own one instead of alienating the developers we have by complaining about their work.

Hi,
Waoh !
OK, sorry... I take it all back.
Did not thought my post would suggest such vehement reaction.
In fact, what did I wrote ?
Simply that on the whole channel dedicated to "Z2 Tablet Android development" there has not been a single post in over 3 weeks...
Which makes me fear that development is not really alive for a device I really like.
Does it deserve such reaction ?
Maybe. But I beg to differ...
I am not whining, I am not complaining... I was just stating.
That makes a difference to me. Maybe not to you...
Regards.

See, CM12 and Lollipop AOSP were updated just 2 days ago, on 2015-01-10. PAC was updated today, before it was updated on 2015-01-05. Yesterday, a new pre-rooted stock ROM for the SGP521 was posted.
Yet you ask if development is dead.
In my opinion, this is insulting the developers who do the work for us - for free, mind you!
I do not want to start a flame war or a non-technology-related discussion here. I merely want to point out that I do not share your view and that I am thankful for the ROMs we have.
Also I want to point out that I appreciate the work the developers do - we already have 'lost' a developer here in this forum who was alienated by some comments from certain members, and I think this shouldn't be repeated.
Hence I felt that I have to reply to your post to make the developers know that there are members on this board who do not share your view. Usually I simply ignore such posts to prevent spamming the forums, but I think your repeated complaints (no Apps2SD, no 4.4 AOSP, no new developments) warrant a reply.

you are both wrong, aosp daily builds are well, everyday, same with the official cm12 since, we get official, p.s. the current recovery in cm12 doesn;t flash, you have to downgrade the boot.img every time to the one from cm11 before updating

I've given up waiting. At this point I can't imagine their month-old build is less buggy than the up to date CM12 nightlies anyways. So I'm just sticking with the nightlies getting pretty shameful battery live compared to 05Q. All I want is for them to release the new camera on the Play Store so we don't have to wait :'(

I didn't put much hope for oxygen os, waiting for 12S

Everyone knew this already, i'm not sure why its such a big surprise.

Oh well. CM12 nightlies is good enough for me that I don't mind putting up with some of the silly bugs.

They need to clean up their act and speed things up. I'm sticking with nightlies but would appreciate an official stable release.

It's very bad when company not doing there promise about 3 month i bought this phone because of good support and in time promise but for sorry they couldn't. I understand about small company etc but they should say 6 month or something else to be sure that they could. It's very bad. Almost everyone got lollipop except us i think i will sell my opo and will go back to Samsung

Well its better then nothing. Good to see mid-late March dead line. 1 month is not alot if final release is nice and stable

How has OxygenOS been delayed? There has never even been an announcement about a release date.

Honestly surprised people still care about OxygenOS. Why buy a phone that has the unlimited capibilities of being rooted and unlocking the bootloader if you won't do anything with it? Just install Slim and move on, it's not like Oxygen looks all that groundbreaking and spectacular.

Wow, there were only 16 posts and already arguing and massive uses of profanity. Please try to express yourselves without cursing and using foul language. None of that is allowed here.

What are the differences between Opensource Cyanogen and Closed? Just the features/apps? Are the blobs/kernel taken from closed source?

I'm not surprised by the delay. Plenty of serious CM12 issues that I would imagine are currently present in internal CM12S builds too.

The sad part of all this is that OnePlus / CM actually has a great track record of releases from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 all happened super fast. Clearly 5.0 is a much bigger release but I'd rather them spend the time to squash bugs than release a crappy ROM. If they did that I'm certain there would be a complaint thread about that as well...

Android Police is reporting mid-late March for the release of CM12s and OxygenOS, and that
"proprietary drivers, code, QA, [and] certifications" are responsible for the company missing its 90-day deadline to update the phone to Android 5.0.

Clearly you have never tried other phone companies and you have no clue how things work. They delay cause they want the Os to be as stable as possible with all the features working. So they could release a beta or an alpha now but it would be buggy and not working correctly, then people start complaining again about it etc etc. Just wait or flash any other custom rom that is already lollipoped. There are a ton of options all stable enough for daily use and so many great developers that make great kernels roms for the Opo. Just saying you can freely go back to Samsung or any other company you used to and pay the overpriced same spec phones with even less official support.

It's not impossible lol. Nobody just wants to take responsibility with the release because it could be buggy and it's hard to maintain. A few of us have it booting and working fine. My reason for not releasing it though is because I want to make a GSI instead to help stimulate Treble development.

You have booted into MIUI ? That's great, are the MIUI services working ? Since i read in an another post for MIUI 9 that the services were not working since the device couln't be verified from mi servers

Thank you for your work.
Waiting to be able to prove miui in mi-a1

I've given up on MIUI GSI so now I'm reviewing whether to release MIUI just as a normal A1 ROM.
I still have work to do on it - the ROM I have right now is handcrafted. I will ONLY release it IF I can finish scripts to completely automate the build process (i.e. open source the work). Please don't bug me about it.
I will post updates here as they come in. Exams are on at the moment so it could be a while.

thank you bro your my heroo broo <3

For those wondering, the main reason I will not release existing MIUI is because it's a straight port of nougat base from 5x. It doesn't work on my TWRP and I cannot dual boot, so I will never use it and thus cannot support it. I will not be an irresponsible dev who releases things that he won't use or test.
New work is based on Redmi S2, which is 8.1 based and will get MIUI 10 quicker. Since it's different hardware and based on China ROM, there is extra work to do.

It's only Nougat, so no I cannot use it.
I will never port beta ROM anyway, only stable releases. Otherwise I can't be sure if it's a bug with port or the ROM itself.

No problem, I have exams for the next week so hopefully it's out soon.

No more security updates for Note 5 & S6!

Dear all NOTE 5 & S6 users,
SAMSUNG has ended all support to both S6 & NOTE 5, VERY SADDENED..!
BELOW IS ACTUAL CONTENT CONFIRMED FROM SAMMOBILE, SO DON'T WAIT UP FOR UPDATES...!
But for all MODS it's a Good sign bcoz finally they can be assured that there work will be more important to either port or bring out fresh new Custom Roms & users gonna cherish it if it's a stable one.
Right now there are no stable Custom Roms considering platform of OREO OR PIE.
I WISH WE HAD OFFICIAL SUPPORT BUT IT'S ALL GONE NOW.
Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ will not get monthly security updates;

Thread cleaned!
Knock off the drama please.
Users are entitled to their opinions as long as no rules are broken. Flaming them for it is against the rules however and will not be tolerated.
There's a wonderful feature xda gives you called "ignore user".
I suggest you use it instead of filing a thread with a bunch of schoolyard drama.
Thanks for understanding!
:good:

Admin if you missed I had already knocked off the opponent with facts.
School yard drama? Quite surprising & irresponsible statement.... Are you not flaming by use off expression such as school yard drama? In between is this a school yard to play around? Sadness.
Thanks for not understanding to value, respect & integrity of xda supporters & users.
Someone points at you for all the wrong reasons & we should choose to ignore... Bravo... Great visions executed here... Justice & rules are all same for everyone & I abide by it to uphold & teach lessons to those who demand for it...!
You should choose your words carefully Admin bcoz it ain't school yard drama where kids visit to play around..!
Clearly it's very disheartening to see that even admins here are neutral over issues & completely lost there cool for reporting...! Look at the response... School yard drama..?: kind off not ringing any bells here...!
I hope you understand the need to treat everyone respectfully as an admin...!
In my experience ignoring means a cowardly evasive action & I don't back off from any given situation unless I was wrong...!
