First, wrong section. Second, what did he do?

first, I suggest to drop it right here.
Second, OPEN SOURCE is what it means, people can use code from anyone and make it better, if not, lets just all jump the ship to @pple or Micro$oft and end of story.
People are over reacting about copy - past - modify... I'll tell you something, if I were a Dev and someone uses my code for anything, I would feel pleased and happy because that would mean that what I have produced is helping empower others in their quest for knowledge.

As long as they have permission, give credit and It follows the rules of the forum.

In my opinion I say yes as long as the other developers don't mind. I think that is the whole spirit of android and open source. I I take something from someone else and change it and reuse it than that is my business. If I take something from someone else and don't change it but include it in my rom or theme than as long as the developer that created doesn't care than who cares. But that is just my 2 cents and I have no idea what the relation is to i3.

I know it's the wrong section they won't allow me to post in the development bc I'm a "jr" I'm for sure I think accusations that he was copying and pasting othera work

It was the one click root he posted earlier today. It has nothing to do with i3 rom.

Can someone please port this theme!!!

I really love this theme soo much is it possible if someone can port it for me here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177238
I would really appreciate it!!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I asked a while back to make a port of that theme (its been ported to death to almost every device) and someone mentioned it was gonna look into it... been waiting but I guess themers are waiting for Gingerbread.
I ported this to DI18 if I remember correctly, all someone would need to do is the smali edit for the clock color and then replace images and it should be good. I stopped updating it due to lack of interest, maybe someone else could step in and take over. Pm me if interested and I can get you my work dir.

Precisely. The grunt work of resizing and redoing the .9's is completed (which in my opinion is the most tedious and difficult part for beginners), and I would be more than happy to help someone with the steps to port this.

Don't start that flaming crap, just left the 3d and most of the threads are filled with flame this and flame that. Just sick of people talking **** because they don't approve of the location the op might have chose either on purpose or accident. Just saying that this forum is a nice change where you actually get help or learn something by reading the thread instead of following 9 million different arguments over bull.

With the impending release of the MTD version of CM7 utilizing YAFFS2 format, CM9 will be a real possibility for the Epic, although probably a ways out. CM7 is coming along nicely, but still not officially supported, so I assume it will be a while. QBKing77 posted a video in General about the MTD/YAFFS2 file system and the benefits....More to come...

Those items are notated in the CM7 thread in our dev forum as having known issues. You, as an well informed/read user of CM7, should go into flashing this rom knowing those listed features will not work 100%--if at all.

The Opening post should be a release and not some demanding question. If you're going to be like that, then put it in the Q and A as opposed to wasting space in the Development section.
Wanting someone to release something also shouldn't go here. If you really wanted it, learn to search it up and do it yourself.
So, just for you : http://tinyurl.com/959h6qy

Hey bud i had same question but was unable to find answer, i guess just wait for developers making rom to add the feature soon.
Its a mod you have to apply to the rom. Includes decompiling apk. There are lots of tuts and how-tos for how to do this. If you don't want to tackle it yourself then yeah, you'll have to wait for a dev to include it in their rom. Though you may notice almost all roms for our phones have this enabled.

Unknown member - providing modems?

Currently, we have Wild and Doc doing most (all?) the modem pulls. People get busy with real life, and sometimes cannot be around to pull new modems as they are released.
I am pulling them as well (have I5 now before posted on board), and can upload them somewhere for people, but was not sure about public reception since I only have 20 posts. If you want to see some of my other work, you can Google me. You can also wait until Doc uploads his version then verify that the MD5 on his modem.bin matches mine (updater-script will not match).
I've made a script to pull modems, and can share that as well, if people want. Be advised that my prepackaged modems do not create a modem.backup file. Instead, I've created a directly flashable UVLEM zip file in it's place, as I feel this is a better solution.
Go ahead and post if people don't want to flash they won't but I prolly will
