The official thread for Frankenstein EC05OCE v3 has been closed, and I can't find a link to the ROM. I'm trying out new stuff and thought it sounded awesome. So any ideas what happened to it and where I can get it?
Dev was banned...

Temporarily banned since I last heard

After he was banned he had someone else (or a fake account) post his work. Not sure if there's a perma-ban or if that extended his ban.

Also it could be from the fact that ecocce is part of ERA who have a few ROMS out. A couple(all?) of them were his work.

We have 4-5 members working on every ROM we distribute.
Ecooce is a part of ERA, and helps with the ROMS.
Here ya go OP, link to thread, but no dl links:

Hehe I know...I opened build.prop on the era eh06 unnamed and found ecooce commented out. I'm not trying to diss ecooce or anything...just passing along what I've read.

Yeah, he is still around and helping when he can. But nothing can be taken away from Kevin, any ROM that was made and ecooce helped, 99% of the work was done by Kevin or another ERA member, but there is no "I" in team right?
I'm sure a Frankenstein ROM isn't far off. And no I'm not him... (please let it be mods, no harm is being done here)

LoL,yep seems like the only place to find him...
For What It's Worth ---- regardless of whatever ecooce did to deserve a ban , Frankenstein ROM is still a very reliable ROM , but you will need to find a way to contact him to access it ...... I use it often

I've used both ROMs and they're awesome, stable, and fast. Beyond a few differences, though, nothing really different sticks out to me except that Fresh doesn't use the Sense launcher.
You are not going to get flamed because you are not asking which one is better, you are going to get flamed for posting this in development, and it is your first post? You indeed are asking a question so this belongs in the forum called Q&A, it has nothing to do with development. Mods, please move.
Sprint Lovers
For the most part both are quick and work fairly seamlessly. I prefer Sprint Lovers personally but that's me. I think as a whole it works smoother, but that's an aesthetic thing. Both give you what you want out of a custom rom, wifi tethering and all that. Fresh has issues with clockworkmod recovery though, need AmonRA in order to use properly. Personally this irritates me but I don't really see it as a problem. The one nice thing I found in Fresh that came with it automatically was the file manager it provides however all you need is ASTRO with Sprint Lovers and you're good to go. Fresh is more customizable for the average user I suppose but if you are comfortable with adb and SDK then you should be able to customize on your own anyway (look into themeing and how it's done properly before you attempt to do anything and by all means don't mess with .9 files unless you have an understanding of how they work) Other than these issues I didn't find any major differences but have my preference as you can tell. Try some others out too though, some people like Cyanogen's stuff. Good luck.
This WOULD be the Q & A... eh yeah that's all. Moron

Don't see it.
Could really use a link to the thread.
I think he's in rootzwiki now. He got booted from here but apparently we need an update to everything he does there now.
Thanks for the info. glad to see he's still developing for this phone.

A mod can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure your not supposed to post links or promote banned members work in other forums. Just fyi.

they let a thread in the general section for Melvin's beastmod rom after Melvin was banned. Someone can just start a thread in general and credit him linking his rom if you like
Not sure I understand what your saying. I'm just letting the op know so he doesn't get yelled at.
There was a thread for the ICS MIUI v4 in the Dev section, What happened to it?
Check out the original miui thread in the dev section. Swiperat has been listing some ics miui alphas in there.
Don't forget to hit the thanx button :thumbup:
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
What happened is that when the OP wrote that he thanks the devs that created the ROM, apparently it wasn't enough for some whiny crybabaies that don't understand the concept of open source and didn't have their ego's stroked enough, so they threw little-girl tantrums and got it taken down.
Too bad. I grabbed and flashed. Not a huge fan of miui, but this is the good.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
It's too bad, it ran pretty stable for me. Think ill go over to the ns4g section and remove my thanks I left.
I guess I understand where they where coming from, I mean how hard is it to pm some one and ask for permission first, but damn. Atleast he linked to their thread.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Pwermission?? That's like asking God's permission to share water.
The OP posted that it wasn't his and said "thanks to the great devs that put this together" with a link to the original thread.
It's stupid.
Anyone that supports this should be on a list of opponents to Open Source
you hit the nail on the head hipkat. kind of sounds like an apple or microsoft fit huh. I could understand if he was posting it as his work.

I completely agree with you about having to ask permission for porting a rom. One of the lasts posts in the thread was from one of the devs who had made the original rom for the ns4g.
He mentioned asking permission as a matter of curteousy. He even said that he would have told him to go ahead. Pretty ****ed up if after saying that they went and had the thread closed.

Exactly!!!! Maybe he should have just named names so the original Devs could flaunt to the world that they got credit for something....
Maybe you guys should search Google for "frankinrom," then you'll find a great miui pics beta. Don't forget to thank.

He should have just added some credits. His roms were better than those he "borrowed" from. He also updated far more frequently and was always responding to questions.
What a shame.

Im not against the rules or anything else Im sure they are helpful for the bigger picture.:cyclops: I am however stating its ironic that he did better with there stuff than they did. IMO when a dev does that its usually buggy or simply not as good , his roms were always up to date and he had stuff out much quicker than others.
At the end of the day everyone here is modding someone elses work to begin with so getting banned for using a modification to an open source or Samsung based software is just weird to me.
Isnt that why theres two dev forums to begin with ?
Just so that we are all clear on this subject. He is not Banned.
Like someone above said, he still has a ROM in one of the Note sections (can't remember if NI or NII atm). I am one of the Mods over those sections as well so I have seen his threads and activity.
Now I don't know what exactly went down and why the thread was locked and even if I did, I'm not sure I can speak freely. I was called away on a family emergency that weekend and when I got back it was locked and the other thread about this was in full swing. It seemed like a kang job, but as I said, I do not know the particulars. I am only posting in this thread to let you know that he was not banned and chose to host his S3 ROM elsewhere.
Please don't make this thread into a pissing contest about who's was better and random speculation about what happened. Plus, if he is not here to defend himself, he shouldn't be attacked (not saying that any of the ones that posted attacked him in any way *more for future posters, if this thread stays open).

Seems like you're arguing semantics. Only thing I see wrong is not giving credit. (ill surrender the end point that it's xdas way of managing things and that's fine.)
However you and everyone else are working off Google and to a lesser extent Samsungs work to begin with he only borrowed what you tweaked in someone else's code to begin with ;don't know why devs feel they should have special treatment. Having followed android *devs* since the early G1 days I find the current state rather egotistical and counter productive at times.
Again I say... I understand about not giving credit but alluding to him being a thief is ironic considering what is actually being done.
You say I have no idea, that's fine perhaps I don't . But proclaiming thievery with exclamation points doesn't exactly educate or inform anyone of anything let alone show that I'm in the dark on the matter.

Credit is the least he can ask. Do you know or even have an idea how long it takes to make a rom? De compiling recompiling apks tweaking smali. **** I tried to theme a couple pngs and 15 toggles and it took me a couple days just reading to figure out what to do! They have to edit a lot of files. It's long tedious work and they do it all for free!!
Regardless if it was based off Google code. They edited and made it unique. It is now theirs. For example for school you have to write a paper about Lincoln. You research about Lincoln and final write your paper. What your saying is that the paper you wrote is not yours because you pretty much just reworded facts you read online. (provided you didn't copy paste) the paper is now your own paper that you can claim rights too.

How those that have contributed a LOT to this forum have small "sigs"
and those that Want to make it look like they do have VERY LARGE AND FLAMBOUYANT ONES?
Isn't that attributable to a WANNABE Syndrome?
Heck, their sigs take up more space than their "contributory" information....
lol talking about me? it's true that i haven't done much on this forum except for the StockMOD ROM release, but check out the HTC MyTouch 4G forums if you think i contributed "very little".

I dont think they are talking about you as its obvious you have contributed quite a lot Thank you for that!
But i know what they are talking about, i see it a lot actually, a person with like 5 thanks has a huge sig saying "If i helped you remember to hit that thanks button" or something stupid like that.. Every time i see that i think of that "bro do you even lift" meme. But instead i say "bro do you even help?" lol
On a second note, how is this S3 related? Off topic much? lol
