Anyone any ideas why the original thread in the android themes section is closed. All it says is:
Please do not use XDA to advertise your paid apps.
Thread closed.
I always see apps/themes on here where you have to purchase them on the market?
Plus the thread creator has had his account temp disabled? Whats going on with XDA These days
I think its because he doesn't have a free version?

Exactly that. Same thing happened to Nitroz because he had a donate and trial version, but because the trial version wasn't the exact same as the donate, it got closed until he made the donate version free.
Ridiculous IMO.

It`s not Ridiculous, xda have never been a site to advertise,everything is for the love of what you do and if people appreciate your work they will buy you a beer. It`s always been like this, also how can someone charge for googles work all the pngs belong to who,i donate to devs all the time and most of them dont ask, there product is free.Now ask your self this question if the flow theme was free would you donate to the dev just because you like his work and want it to continue or would you just keep downloading because it`s free .

I get that, what I said was ridiculous was Nitroz getting closed down because the free version wasn't exactly the same as the donate version, yet there are loads of other themes here which are *just* paid that remain open.
I understand that there's people that will donate to most things they like, but there's other people than need an incentive. Its always been the case of if you like the free version, upgrade to the donate version which has more stuff than the free one.

It's very nice, although the Developer needs to go back to the original concept slightly. The last few updates have started to turn Flow nto another "Miui" theme.
The dev needs to go back to basics.
Cheers.

I don't like that way. I don't like people that sell themselves for some theme or a simple app. If I were a themer or dev, I would make only a free version, but I would put a link to donate if they enjoyed my work or something else. See? There's some awful paid themes, and some awesome free ROM. Yeah, there's a difference between get paid by a limited work and because he really needs some cash. I see some paid kernel configurators and hate it. That's a limited work, that will only work on his work. But if I don't like his kernel? Wasted money. I think that this is the way it should be on XDA. And what I do before I buy a app? I download a illegal version to test, and if I think that the dev deserves it, I buy. If not, I simply uninstall it, no money wasted at all. If the dev is just selling himself and I like it? I buy just to don't stay on the illegal, but with a knife on my heart.
[Please, I didn't say any name, any dev and any app]
Well i think that the dev of the theme was really nice and he was answering all of the xda members questions and not only that he also did really fast updates and sometimes 2 updates a day. i think for that kind of support he really deserves to get paid for not only this awesome theme but for the best theme he made for cm9 and aokp and to support him doing more awesome themes. also keep in mind that he said he is very noob with all those adb decompile xml etc. but he manage to deliver us a great theme in such a small time

Anyone have an info or links as to where I can find out more about the new CM7 theme selector? I am looking for info on how to use it and what all the features are. Thanks in advance
I was looking into it. It currently doesn't theme a lot, but looking at the xml files, I am thinking about trying out modding the Cyanbread theme for a red theme. I'm hoping it won't be too hard. Just have to take a more detailed look at it =] Best bet is to go ahead and use it to change your theme to see what is changed.
Looking forward to the red one. Good luck.
Btw I know there is a purple one in the market called purpbread our something like that
redbread is in the market now

I'm pretty sure the red and blue themes in the Market edit the framework files. Maybe tearing them apart will help you guys figure out how to work with the Theme Manager?
I'm a rom-whore, and I'm damn proud of it.
So theres this developer name Dsexton702 mostly working at the SGS4G forum at the moment and he was one of the first devs in tjat communitee... Since then hes made ICBINB roms that are so smooth and responsive and is amazing at tweaking and scripting files. And that adrenaline shot people flashed was by him! So what i was thinking is trying to get a SGS II for him as a early christmas present. If you guys agree i will love to set up a thread and make fund for him. If you want to see his work go to the Galaxy S 4G forum and youll see he did great things for their communitee and i was pleased with my old SGS4G mostly because of him! So if anyones interest please let me know!
P.S. Hes amazing at making tweaks and his status is now Recognizable Dev not Senoir Member! That shows how much he helps out to our phones!

Its not bribing. Its called something support! He actually does something for other communities and maybe he doesnt have the amount of money needed for his phone? Maybe hes in college and if youve been to college finance is a problem!

I am very aware of what both of us said. Are you aware that this isn't the first post about donating money towards a dev for a phone? Whatever happen to the old days when a dev would just buy a phone and dev for the fun of dev'in? I'm not saying that some devs don't deserve us donating every once in a while, but lets not make BAD-AP (buying a dev a phone) the new standard. To those who feel like donating more power to you.

as a long time evo4g user I'm just not used to this buying a dev a phone thing. People bought the e4g because. I donated to devs before but only to those devs who already donated their free time to make something innovating for my phone. Make something unique for my current phone and I'll throw you a few bucks then.
If you used this guys roms, enjoyed them, feel free to throw him some money. But thats as far as I would personally go but I live in America whee people are free to do stuff I don't approve of or annoys me
What would that dev bring to the device that would interest users to donate?

This "donate" to dev thingy for a new device are getting outa hand. Stop living in the past. If the Dev was so good as you recalling, you wouldn't bought this phone. There is alot of devs for this device and having more will just cause as many roms from the same base and poeple will get bored.
So now we got a dev that makes kernel, another one that makes roms, one that makes themes and another ones that kangs everything. If there is a dev out there that can put windows phone 7 or ios on my phone, I will definitely donate to him/her.

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask everyone here for your help to get the ball rolling to get TEAM WHISKEY start developing for our phone. They just need a few more funds to get the phone for them to start cooking something REAL GOOD.
Now, if you had the Vibrant you know exactly who they are and what they can do.
If you don't just go to the Vibrant forum and search BIONIX 1.3.1. Best Vibrant rom made #PERIOD They brought Froyo to the Vibrant way before Tmobile release an update. They turned the Vibrant from a POS to a great phone.
So can they bring ICS to our phone before an update?, MAYBE. They definitely can if all the source is there. (once it's out)
They took a break, but now are making there way back to the scene.
Now this is not exactly a bounty because a donation is not necessarily needed, but would definitely help.
All you have to do is go to there webpage http://www.teamwhiskey.com/ and click on one of their adsense ads and they will get credit for it.
Now if you would like to donate you can register and donate there.
Either way I hope you guys help with at least a click of the mouse.
Believe me when I say that you won't regret it.
I know we already have some great devs here, but these guys are known for changing the game.
Thanks everyone. I am not a member of Team Whiskey, but a great FAN.
PLEASE NO FLAMING
If you don't want to do it, please just move on. Your negativity is not needed. Only positive people that want even more greatness on their phones.

Just a minor reminder TeamWhiskey have left XDA and they do their DEV work in their own forum, so any one posting their work here should be done in General, and not in the DEV section
also XDA rules only allows direct link to the ROM files
and screen shots
changelogs are nice to have, but not necessary if it's outside work
it's a must if it's local in house XDA development
Are they going to support the galaxy nexus when and if it comes to Tmobile? Love their ROMs and were the only ones I placed on my phone I trust them to make any phone zing and rock. Just my 2 cents

On a side note ..
I don't blame them, with all the drama that has been going on lately I can tell why.
Some people just don't know how to act and take things personal when it's the internet and XDA is for mostly Development, Customization and 411 of phones. Not personal vendettas and haterism.
Anyways back to the topic....

second off...
You have a few ways to get proprietary drivers to work with your device
1 from the manufacture (they are in the stock firmwares)
2 From another device of the same board type that has the Firmware you want (eg ics).
3 Samsung releases there driver code for there proprietary drivers (not going to happen)
4 reverse engineer them though machine code disassemble.
your best bet if u want ics before they release ics then use the samsung vendor proprietary drivers for this device...
The rest of the drivers will be compiled from source with values set for this device... (theirs a reason you have source code)..
Ill throw 25.00 in once were about 100 away..

Good job. I would totally donate if I had any money on my PayPal. Sorry :/
You know what, I'm really getting tired of people ****ting up these threads with their troll comments. We all know the lack of development for this phone is largely due to the attitudes of some of the people on the board.
The bottom line is - These developers are putting a lot of time and effort into giving you plenty of options on your phone and you aren't paying a nickel. If you don't want to donate, no one is judging you. But the least you can do is keep your mouth shut and allow the people who would like to see further development and a better atmosphere in this forum and on this phone try to do so.
I've administrated forum before. People that troll like they do here were banned and the forums as a whole were a better place to be. There was a much more positive atmosphere, it was FAR more constructive, and everyone contributed in any way they could. If you couldn't, you kept your nose out of it. This place needs to be regulated a little more diligently. No one wants their opinions stifled, but when you're being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole; you need to be removed from the board.
M&S, and others, thank you for all the hard work you've put into this phone so far. Please realize most people like myself that generally keep their mouth shut truly do appreciate the efforts put forth. Please don't allow the trolls to discourage you or your efforts.
I'll be donating what I can soon. Your previous roms look great, RaverX3X.

This subforum was always full of attitude..
Its never going to change.. even after they get ICS. You're likely to have any respect here if lucky.. lol
The sub forum is full of hatred.
Ive donated to eugene n tdj. I just wanna chime in. That wen raver was blind deving. His rom was solid for not even having the device. But we need devs to contually dev. Tdj has n much props to him. But no disrespect to whitehawkws n team kang n also eugene. But theyll dev one rom then sorta work on other devices. I wud love to see raver here but we need some assurance that he'll ck his threads once in a while and respond to users n update. Im not complaining just have seen us donate to 4 diff devs and to not have continuing help when asked in their threads. Thats my 2 cents.

Hi all,
I noticed that The Sickness had closed his threads and his downloads are no longer available. Luckily, beforehand i got his permission to post his work on a torrenting site along with the images he used in his postings to help with download availability. I'll seed as long as I can. If you download, please seed at least overnight while you sleep, or as long as you can, so that they will be available for others. They can be found here:

The Sickness Edition V2 has JUST been posted so give people time to download it and start seeding. Might take a day or so.

At the request of "The Sickness" i have removed these links. He specifically stated he closed his threads because he did not want anyone to download them any more.
If you want a copy of anything related to S3 or S4 for MetroPCS (And TMobile for S4) please let me know via PM. This type of situation is why i collect the files and back them up.
His ROMs were, by my opinion, the best out there by FAR for our device.. So many options, so fast, and so well made. Kinda upset that i'm a little upset with him for doing this. But whatever. Let me know if you guys need anything.
EDIT: I didn't mean to leave out every one who helped him! They deserve just as much credit for these fine ROMS.
First you open after approval...
Now closed on de devs request?

Out of respect yes. I took the link down. You have a problem with that or something?

Sorry, you misunderstood.
I didn't mean it out off respect.
I was just asking.
Maybe because I'm surprised by the sickness choice to close...

What the hell? Did I miss something as to why he did this? I see no form of abuse or trolling on his thread(s).
Only hint I'm getting at is his post here.
Sickness, if you're reading this please understand there are hundreds, possibly even thousands of people who appreciate your work. Hence the download count on all your ROMs put together. Do NOT get stressed out by the lack of "thanks" on your posts. Just think of the download counts, and knowing your hard work is currently being/already installed on hundreds of rooted phones, as a thank you from the people who don't click that button. I too would be frustrated with the lack of appreciation because I'm the same way and expect some form of praise for my hard work.
But after all your donations, and your current "thanks meter", you should not get stressed over this.
If this is completely not the reason you removed all your download links, then disregard this post. Just wanted to let you know to not let things like that get to you regardless.
Your ROM is the only updated fully customized TW based ROM on this forum for this device. And for those who need WiFi Calling I'm pretty sure this is the go-to ROM. And it always will be, for me at least.

Oh, sorry.
Hard to say why. Developers undergo LOTS of stress. One will never know just how much just stress until you become one. and this is in his free time so im sure he threw up the middle finger when he'd had enough.... I would have.

I don't think a donation would do much in this situation. His links are down everywhere. So something has obviously pissed him off over the edge. Sounds to me he's going to get a new device and start over in whichever subforum that may be, and leave the S4 behind. Probably deleted everything off his hard drive as well because I don't think he's going to spend the time re-uploading everything. Kind of depressing, actually. Those who DID support him got the shaft.
Also check your PM's when you get a minute, bro.

Think he said he had a Note3, so that is why he no longer had an S4. I agree with the making a donation being a waste - did that on another S4 Dev who walked, so these shafts are getting a bit old. There was not much development being done on this one anyway for some time - mostly theming - nothing functional.
Will probably keep this a Multiboot primary ROM for now , and hope if we get the next generation Android, someone else will pick it up. In the meantime, some nice AOSP and other base ROMs to mess with. If the OP of Omega could somehow get WiFi calling incorporated - that would be the way to go. Talk about a dev with some real class.
Chill out on the shaft talk guys. You don't know what his plans are or why his threads closed.
He specifically closed his threads because of ungrateful , complaining posts all in his threads. It hasnt even been 12 hours yet. Let the man chill

The shaft subject is in regards to every single link of his being removed from any kind of distribution. Even the OP who was nice enough to upload them to torrents was asked to remove them. That doesn't just happen unless the dev calls it quits. Removing the links from XDA is understandable, but when the links are no where to be found on dev-host and androidfilehost under his accounts, it's only obvious where it's headed.
He can take all the chill out time he needs. I'm just saying that the people who support him are getting the shaft because he just released v4 of the Sickness Modz which can't be downloaded now. Along with his custom edition ROM.

Just so everyone knows my boy The Sickness "for real" lol... gave me permission to post a download link to Insanity V9 in my theme thread since all my themes are based off of Insanity Rom and the last few days I been bustin a $$ inverting all the required apks as a base to bring all of my themes over to the S4. But just so everyone knows there will be no more updates/dev work on it as of now but maybe hopefully he will come back and drop a bad ass update for everyone! So by tomorrow i will have posted and ported over some dope ass themes for everyone to enjoy and in my threads i will have a link to download Insanity V9 to go with it.

I understand. But I talked to him earlier. This is temporary. He feels unappreciated and is frustrated about how much work he puts into the roms for people to post whiny rude posts in his thread. That's all
He's not "shafting" us

Like evil1art with his WICKED and dannyben with his dbombROM
All the time the same story. evil1art with his WICKED and dannyben with his dbombROM. Make an nice Roms - Donation - Disappear (without to say goodbye...)
Can only take being rudely treated for so long.

+1 - that is what I was talking about - plus a few more earlier on different devices.
As for abuse, I had notified the Moderator a few times on the ROM thread when it started to get out of hand and it was cleaned. This just goes with the territory - the more active the thread, the more BS will come out of the woodwork.
