Ah... I was beginning to doubt even my ability to find and click on a blue, underlined word. It's been a long day.

Yeah I found it 3 minutes after he posted about it. I don't even have my phone yet (will get it Monday). I'm just trying to help my favorite DEV community by flowing out some information!

He's still working on it

Not trying to sound ungrateful
I thought links to external sites for software\roms was against the rules, e.g. keep everything in one place. (However I can be completely wrong)
Im getting my touch on Monday and am super excited to see root, but having come from an Epic 4G (horrible community) plagued with people selling roms, closed threads and trolling..
I just dont want to see that happen here with this phone.
Perhaps the name *epic* is jinxed.
If I could request one thing, that would be to post a direct link here in the OP.

It is against the rules to link to a site where you are required to register to download. You don't for the ACS site, so it doesn't break any rules.

^this, we do it because we have adsense up. i know its kinda sleazy but acs gives its devs phones to work with, like for instance my new photon came from adsense revenue from my work on teh prevail/replenish. so is it an underhand technique to make some money off of work? yea... like its stated we dont require registration.

Shabby,
I will put my money where my mouth is, I really appreciate it. Im going to look for a donate link on your site. (couldn't find one, so I will click on some ads)
Like I said earlier, wasn't sure if it broke rules or not. I just appreciate all your devs work and do not want this to become another epic 4g.

dont go donating yet its a bad habit to start. if you wanna donate, t hen donate if your satisfied with teh final product

Do people usually create threads proclaiming they've achieved root BEFORE they've actually achieved a distributable root? Been refreshing the "GOT ROOT!" thread all day, and now following Shabby's quest in IRC. Kind of funny. Not trying to knock anyone, but damn they keep getting my hopes up!

Seriously...this does nothing for anyone yet because there are no drivers at all.

WTF EC05 in the developer section

So let me get this straight, there is now a developer that has EC05, but you have to register to get it. I tried and get Access denied when trying to download. On a side note EC05 has been released and there aren't 10 mirrors up of it yet? I don't know what is going on with the politics over there, I don't really care or follow it that closely. But what I do know is when I hear that an operating system is leaked I come here to get it. All of a sudden that's not going to happen any more without hoops to jump through, registration and a nag screen for a donation? I wonder if the guys in the Evo forums put up with this am-mature hour BS?

Unfortunately, I've seen this happen everywhere. It is not a Samsung and/or Epic specific issue... Find it hard to believe that with all the different ROM.s for Evo that there isn't the occasional crap about who took what from whom without credit (not that this is this problem). Here, we have someone who got a leak from an inside source and to protect the source, he's done things somewhat differently. Do I agree, well not really sure...I don't want to register to get something (and he is NOT charging) but then again, I had to register to post and get stuff here... So, not that big of a deal. I'm totally happy with ViperRoms BUT I understand what Mammon88 has done and why...but I can see XDA's point too. Just the latest round of politics! If not this, then it would be something else.
Either the stock or bonsai needed off it will work at this point. I'm just shocked that politics are causing a delay in EC05 stock to be put up on these forums. After all it's already OTA at this point. At this point I'll probably wait until tomorrow for an update.zip. I just figured by history it would have already been made available.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Mammon88 can't release the EC05 he has because the digital fingerprints are on the file which would lead back to the person who leaked it in the first place. So the only way to get stock EC05 is to wait for Sprint's release. Glad I'm running Bonsai 4.0.0 right now as I don't want to wait.
just to be honest here, if Mammon can remove the 'fingerprint' from the leaked copy, and put it on Bonsai 4.0, then why can't he release the stock version, fingerprint removed? Didn't he already attempt to do this, but the thread was shut down due to linking to the Bonsai site, which requires registration (not that a mirror is still in the locked thread anyways)? Im pretty sure the registration process does not remove said fingerprint itself.
I have to point out that I think he/they have the right to do WHATEVER they want with the leaked version, as it's not open source, it's a leak... BUT, the whole website membership business is disappointing, yes, it seems just an inconvenience, but if there is/will be paid premium support... it really doesn't belong on here, then does it? Honestly I am just sick of the drama, and apologetics for this whole thing, and I cant imagine what would have happened had it been Noobnl who had the leak, and then proceeded to make such a process... half the members would be asking for his head, no? I don't feel entitled to a thing, but pressure for donations, not to mention having to register for yet another website is not in the spirit of this site.
Why not just post a no-strings attached link here, or even on the Bonsai site...?
I guess demand drives things, as the wait for EB13 prompted half the site to revert to DI18 just to get the OTA and get the update.zip... now it would seem there are far fewer people doing this. /rant

I was just out at the Sprint store the other day talking about just this same thing. Decided to wait a week or so and see what else falls out of the tree. Sprint has lots of new android stuff coming out in the next few weeks.
Mammon and Randy font owe anything to you guys on here. If you can't take 2 mins to register to get a FREE download that they spent HOURS doing then you shouldn't have it. Be a little more appreciative of what people do.

I tried registering, and when I try to download I get a access denied page. All I want is the leak I didn't need him to do anything to it. I'm appreciative of the devs, don't get me wrong. But the politics that have started to affect peoples experience with what the devs offer is getting out of control.

Politics aren't causing anything. Maybe you didn't mean to come across the way you did but it comes across as "entitled". Bonsai is NOT based on the OTA. They don't have it. There is NOTHING to leak as you put it. If it was then we could flash the modem and not be required to odin. To the best of my knowledge the OTA hasn't hit yet. When it does you will see the posts start popping up. Until either be patient or use one of the EC05 ROMs already available.

Thank you....And honestly it's more then hours.. It was DAYS....
Guys please go about your morning. Drink your coffee smoke your butts and relax. The OTA is coming sooner then later. Trust me when I tell you, your phone will function about the same. All this hxoopla over a OTA is comical at best.
Absolutley ridicilous. You all need to chill out relax. And respect the devs who bring you these roms for free. You act like its owed to you or something. Do u not realize these devs do this on there dime in there own time. Relaaaaaaaaaax. Be patient. This has become so ridicilous no one has respect or appreciates wha they do. And those who complain should be baned in my oppinion.

Honestly no one wants to hear it from some jackass that TALKED SOOOOOOO MUCH **** ABOUT SOFTWARE ROOT ANYWAY. Follow the rules and search before posting useless information that has been already posted! No one cares that you just found this out and you really don't need to open a thread every time you find something new out. This isn't Twitter. This is why the Dinc2 community is CRAP. No one even wants to Dev for us because some of us are ungrateful jerks. People don't forget, and if I recall correctly let me show you how grateful you are.

its not worth argueing with him andybones,hes obviously an idiot who simply cant do a search before posting a crappy useless thread
I have to check the website. Curious if there is a way to block users who spam the forum. I actually hope a mod deletes it, nobody wants to hear your useless arguing. As for me creating useless threads, I think I have created 3 threads total so far, and one of them helped quite a few people with their alarm clock issues.
For now I am just going to manually ignore you guys. Type away at me, not even going to bother reading them. I will be the mature one.
Edit: wow, just checked my other thread and you argued with someone else in that thread. Do you actually do anything on this site besides argue with others because reading through your comment history it sure seems like all you do is argue, you are ignored for sure.

You can ignore me all you want. Truth of the matter is, I do help people. You annoy people. Clearly. I don't even need to justify myself. For how many days did you down talk alpharevX, and now use their product? I highly doubt you donated. and I'm not arguing, I'm responding, and my first post was blowing off a little steam because it's people like you who CRAP these threads up.. it's not wonder all the REAL devs left XDA. useless, ungrateful people like yourself.

Is this OTA dump kosher.
I may not be getting OTA in my location. So I went fishing and came across this.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...8-605-4-same-as-the-official-gingerbread-ota/
They claim it is the same as the OTA but since it can be RUU'ed will work on all phones, incl. those with modification to the ROM.
Has anybody tried this one? Also, since I have never gone the RUU route some additional instructions will be most welcome.

If you are not s off, just flash it. If it has been tampered with than the update should fail. It isn't todays ota though, it is the one from a few weeks ago.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Thanks @kingsway8605. This is the only one I could find. About two weeks old. Any other URL's?
Presumably the flashing involved copying the file (with changed name) to SD card root. Remove the USB cable and then do <volume down> + <power>. I hope the follow up is pretty simple and straight forward. I do not have much Android experience.

Applications on rooted devices

Can an application I have purchased and downloaded for my SGII work in other phone or device? or do I have to buy it again to install it on the other device?
Thanks all; Just wondering and learning
If the app was purchased on Android Market you should have no problem redownloading it onto any future phone you buy and enter the same google account at initial setup that you used to purchase the app.
Do not post in the development section.

Yes all of the apps I have which have the paid versions are from Android Market; it happens i got also Mytouch 4G and thinking in getting a galaxy tablet besides my SGII phone and wondered if i rooted these devices if i would have to paid for the same apps to run on all three different devices or just downloaded individually to each and fire them away as i use one or other device.

Why is this thread in development? ??????????????

This happened a lot in the 4G forum. I stop being a "jerk-face" and just send the link of the thread to one of the mods and it is usually moved within that day. Helps prevent them from double posting in multiple threads.

Bubby working on our phone? Seems not.

We had a bounty for bubby to get the money to buy our phone. And I remember there was one guy who (was awesome!!) donated over $200 as well as gave bubby a computer for him to work on.
I have been following bubby on his twitter and it doesn't seem that he's working on our phone. He's working every day but just not on our phone, not at all.
But, by simply looking at his twitter it's not entirely clear whether he is or not working on our phone. I hope it's just me that read it wrong.
Edit:
Several people confirmed that he's working on his Epic 4G Touch, not our phone. He has not posted a single twit regarding anything he has done / is doing / is considering doing for our phone. He has not been responding to my questions on twitter, and people have been saying he either dance around when asked about our phone or not respond at all.
Edit:
I know the concept that a donation is a donation and is not like you are paying for something, but...
Edit:
While he has not developed a thing for any phone other than his own Epic 4G Touch, he has been asking for donation for numerous other phones. We should probably interfere and refer the people in other forums (potential victims) to this thread.
Edit:
Just a thought, whoever donated, are you able to charge it back through your credit card company with a reason of "service not delivered"? If you are lucky maybe you can get your money back? I know it's a "donation" but bubby did promise in the bounty thread to deliver lots of stuff, he even said he already got ICS booted etc and played us with "here's a bunch of goodies coming up from me just donate to me and stay tuned" ****.
If your following him on twitter you already know the answer to your question.

Lmao, how pathetic.
Hard lesson learned for those involved? Sure.
Kick in the balls from his part? Absolutely.
How is that not 100% theft? Atleast fundamentally.
To the laptop owner, has he sent that back?
By looking at his twitter it's not exactly clear whether bubby is or not working on our phone. Can someone else share some opinion?

Sorry for my ignorance but what's the answer to my question? Can you please spell it our explicitly for me?
We have the same info as you, dude.
The thread you referenced: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318854&page=8
And his Twitter. Ask him directly for a 'better answer' but, I think he's made it pretty clear he doesn't know wtf he's doing.
Thread question answered.
Wow.....well I think this is pretty messed up....

wow this guys gone, he just got a free laptop and a brand new samsung galaxy s2.
an undesrieable leech...
Its sad but truthfully some can be misleading as we all know. What is done here is in fun hobby and practice...to donate is great and needed....but only after said item has been created...
Moral wise...f ya its wrong and ill never support his present or future work.
Reality .... he probably cares less and can only verbally be punished....I think much more in order such as ban of account or other....
To mislead and not give up what was given....well some can be gutter trash here but hopefully not to long........

Wow. I'm definitely glad that I didn't donate. I'd only donate to devs that I can vouch for, like Faux, Slayher, etc. Hopefully Bubby didn't violate any of you guys who has donated. Maybe he's working on something big.

I brought this up in his bounty thread and everyone doubted me. Real devs can get their own phone. Simple as that. Someone should ask luckyduck or something in these forums; claimed to be his "tester".
Sent from my Juggernaut SGSII or Galaxy Tab 10.1 now "In Paris"
I think its effed up especially after just reading what mickeycobra04 posted about other thread. **** is nuts well deja vu if u wanna get technical. And the crazy part is right when the s2 came out he made stock kernel tar the stock recovery and i think a few other things. He basically reeled everybody in so they would know he wasnt just a nobody and could develop a little then he says cm, ics, asop and that rite there was like music to our ears so we start donating and he stays active. Then after some time he gets his phone and a laptop! And posted like 2 times since. Now i know everyone has lives and **** like that but cmon bro its been a month maybe a little less. Bring something to the table man it aint cool.

at the risk of being a **** to a 15 year old kid, let me try to help you understand. if you go over to the fascinate/continuum forums and ask them about bubby, you will hear nothing good about the kid. he has been making promises to android users for a while now, and RARELY coming through with anything more than a system dump or a stock kernel here and there. i know its said that donating with expectations isnt donating, but in the android community, why do people donate? we want to see someone make **** happen. well, this kid is a talker and not a doer. i donated to help get roman his gs2, i was rewarded with jugs(kernel), and juggernaut(rom). in the future, people should do a little more research before they dive in and give a person(15 year old kid) money for a phone, or a laptop.
He is in the skyrocket forums asking for donations also. I hate to say it but I seriously think he is in the wind folks. Its sad because this will prevent people from donating to serious developers. I have a corporate T-mo account and we got 25 galaxy s2's as a promo and he begged me for one of them and I was very close to sending him one in the beginning but thank god my very smart wife told me I'd be crazy to send some kid that I dont know from adam a 600 dollar phone. Well live and learn and just hope that maybe he will still come thru. But not looking to likely. Hell team kang has released 3 roms since Bubby supposedly got his phone.

bubby wont use a tester on anything "valuable". hes a gloryhound. everyone should follow his tweeter and see his ridiculous tweets. its comedy.
http://twitter.com/#!/bubby323xda
I think that those that whove donated should bomb the Skyrocket, Epic and whatever else thread Bubby frequents towards get the message across. Post the links of these threads that shows proof of Bubby not delivering what he claim he'd deliver and maybe he'll answer.

Latest on CM7 on the Epic 4G Touch?

I know I'm about to get flamed all to hell for asking this... and yes I searched but not found anything recent on this forum.
I've heard rumblings that there is an Alpha out there from the Cynaogen Devs, but haven't actually seen a link or a way to get in on that...
We all know about the bubby mod, but it doesn't look like it has moved in a while...
Anyone got anything new to report about CM7 on the SS2E4GT?

You really need to learn to use the search button.
He's on another forum that I won't name here and the rom is really far along.
Search general, you'll find the info

No, sorry. I have been following the name that shall not be spoken too. He seems like the type to get something started, get bored, and then go to something else. I don't think he will finish it. I know others have mentioned working on it too. It just doesn't look like much has happened though.

Amazing, we have the best Sprint phone out there right now but no cutting edge development. Might push me towards the Galaxy Nexus which I really don't want to go to because it isn't really much of an upgrade over the E4GT.
Haven't seen anything posted recently about CM7. Seems like it is at a standstill. People say he is in IRC all the time but I haven't heard any more progression with the Rom so not sure what is going on in there.
I know the next thing to fix was GPS but doesn't seem like that happened. Also put out a date of the 15th for ICS, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for that one...Probably a bad move for him to put a date out there...
yeah, I am kinda surprised that the CM team hasn't given this phone the attention that a lot of others have gotten, especially, since this is the premier phone on sprint, and probably the best all around android phone out right now...
Not for nothing but I am quite sure if you really want to know the answer to your question you can go over to that forum and post a thread. I believe someone will answer you.
I am quite sure it will get done eventually since so many people want it and this phone is one of the best out now. I don't think worrying about is going to make it come faster though. Honestly outside of GPS and wifi tethering it runs pretty damn good.
Although some may not have faith in the kid, you must remember he has still done more than you or I have done to this point. Unless of course you have done more and if so let us know....lol

I agree with that statement
It's been a little over a week since the last alpha was released. This kid seems to work in spurts. He probably has school to deal with as well.
Aside from the GPS and 50%-working haptic and the governors besides ondemand being a little off kilter it's a solid kang and stable as hell. If you can go without GPS It's ready to go and fast as hell. Games work, sound, bluetooth, DSPmanager (yay), etc etc etc.
Now...take it over to the other forum. As odd as it sounds the rules are the rules, this conversation doesn't belong here.

Everyone needs to relax and stop saying we can't talk about Bubby323 (oops I said it again). Half the people over here shunning him will go over to the other forums and install his work if they haven't already did it. Like someone said he has done more then anyone else getting CM7 on our phone. So just grow up people. Flame away!

Discussion of development that isn't on XDA is prohibited. You can say bubby and rootzwiki all day long. Hell, you can even tell them to go to rootzwiki to find bubby's CM7 kang. But discussing Bubby's CM7 development at rootzwiki--discussing the rom along finer points--is where we went astray.
Considering all of the drama involved (on both sides) I don't think it's fair or realistic to make a judgement of who is wrong and who is right...but do I think that's unreasonable to discuss this in the general forum? No.
...but I don't make the rules.
For the record, didn't mean to start the whole drama about he who shall be not whatever'd.
Just wanted to know if anyone knew of progress made by dev's on this forum or had heard anything from Cyanogen that is more... shall we say... official/reliable/etc.

I dont want to go back and forth, but General is general info about the device. I recall everyone discussing Deck's cm7 kang for the Evo 4G in the Evo forums, he had no thread here at the time. Then a thread was even made in the dev section called "another cm7 rom", the thread was made by a member not Deck, it wasnt deleted. So whats OK and what isnt comes down to who is OK and who isnt I guess, not whether it benefits the community....

Don't worry man...we're on the same side and feel the same way, we're just going about it in different ways.

Last updated on the 28th. Discussion is ongoing on the IRC channel.
Personally, I'd rather people know where to go than keep asking here. If mods don't like this, they can feel free to do whatever with it. Otherwise, there's your info.
