Not sure if this has been suggested before, but a dev podcast would be great...the Android podcasts out there now, are pretty much unlistenable due to crappy audio quality and and boring content. I think it would be cool for diff. dev. teams to talk hacking, rom-ing, theming and addressing issues and new technology. For example... have the guys from Team Nocturnal on to discuss their roms with special guests like kernel devs and themers on. It would be a great way for these dev. teams to get some money by selling advertising and doing something they do on here for free anyway... Maybe the website could even finance and advertise these, get them out there and drive even more traffic to the site. Ask those interested for show demos and maybe pick the best for each carrier and discuss their phones exclusively. Just a thought, maybe an hour or two a week to keep their minions up to date and answer the best questions on air. I would listen and download and support such a project. If you would too, let xda hear your voice. Let them know your feelings and ideas below!

I couldnt agree more , I googled for XDA Podacast and your thread showed up ...
Some of the podcasts are ok (Engadget,Verge) but im looking for something more along the ROM flashing variety as well ...
Will point the admin in this direction. Thanks for your suggestion
We have a podcast in the pipeline Look for it in Q1 next year
Holy S! Thread is resurrected! With ICS dropping on a lot of phones around then, that is perfect timing. Thank you thank you thank you! When this happens we need people to pump this on their Twitter and Facebook accounts and get the word out in the threads....huge leap for XDA, this should be commended and supported by all the Android freaks out there! Props!

Saw a couple people posting in the reward for ICS thread saying they'd donate for CM7. Figure I'd
start one specifically for that. I'll put in 20. Anybody else? The devs absolutely deserve it

What's the motive of this thread? To get CM7 faster? Its already being worked on by the CM team.

Valid point. Yeah, I'd say for some motivation ($ never hurts) and more for just showing how much we appreciate them giving a little love to our device.

These threads don't help. The dev will get it out when he gets it out. The CM team doesn't work off this type of motivation or have ETA's. However, this thread might make the release slower, because they know that the longer this thread is out, more people will pledge. Regardless, donations are made appropriately when the product is released. This thread won't even give them an idea of how much money they'll get because by the time it is out, people will be in different financial situations. It is a very poor way to get ROMs coming.
..And frankly IF this motivates CM, i would rather it wouldn't because there could be a chance where someone would rush something just for the sake of money. I want my ROMs stable as they can be. So they can take all the time they need considering it's already well under development. FYI i am NOT attacking the OP. Just my 2 cents. Purely opinion...
I've read some well thought out opinions and have decided that this thread is indeed irrelevant. I apologize as my main goal was to help out the developers

A dev is trying to build AOSP here. Maybe by Christmas
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
Seems promising
there are builds floating around for the sprint version. tho idk whats working(perhaps nothing other than booting).
IRC is the place to be. check the sticky at the top of the general forums or Q&A forums.
Unfortunately they have a newer kennel than the US devices. Which makes it much harder to convert ours to jellybean.
That being said, you will find there are a handful of guys working on it on IRC. And trust me, they want it as bad as we do. Rest assured, we have a nice group of devs. This is the quiet before the Storm

I am coming to the Optimus community from the Evo 3D. With the bootloader we had to overcome, I have complete faith in the optimus devs. Hell, we've already got an unlocked bootloader, just a lil longer till we have some awesome roms.
I'm coming from the 3VO as well. I have full faith in the dev community here. Can't wait
I'm guessing we'll have an AOSP build by early January. It's going to be awesome!
Once again they ruined it for us all! R.I.P. to the Frosty JB rom thread. It will be missed. Salute.

I agree. I was using Wicked for a long time and decided to give Frosty a try, and I loved it. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I also have great battery life with it. I will keep using it for a while. Hopefully DJ will come back.
What was the persons name that insulted DJ, I'll get 'em... I think DJ will be back, he loves this way too much, one way or another he'll be back.

So he took his ball and went home. Don't worry about the thousands that love your work and your ROM (myself included by the way), just the handful that criticize it.

I am saddened by what has gone down. I remember a time when post where constructive and not a pissing match. Unfortunately with more and more people come here and join the chances of this happening grows.
I know the frustration of seeing someone complain about something know to be issues or someone thinking it's a problem with the rom when no one else has issues. Just remember we where all noobs at one time or another and remember that one person that helped you out with something vs the person that flamed you for not knowing.

I was that at one point also, when the G1 came out and JesusFreke was making roms, and people had to use ADB to obtain root and be able to flash things. I learned since then and read and read and read. The problem now a days is that most don't care to read a little, or at all. Most of the questions asked in a thread are answered, or been discussed, or don't even belong in the dev section. This is extremely aggravating to the devs, or themers, when they right up a huge OP and no one uses it, and just clutters up their dev thread with useless questions and/or nonconstructive criticism. I don't blame him for quitting or locking the thread, if people feel it's at its prime, then leave it alone and don't touch it anymore. Most of the TouchWiz roms have the best version yet to come, or they came and went a while ago. Most of the mods they incorporated are flashable on your own, anyways. Thank him and respect decisions, or use one of the other 10+ TouchWiz roms.

Jesusfreke was the pioneer of modding for Android. Without him I believe that we would not be as far with android as devs, manufacturers, or even android its self.
Look at thouchwiz its self with the toggles in the notification Window. This came from cm. We the community can end up pushing for devs with true innovation to go back underground where their work is not seen in mass people, Google, or manufacturers. Then android may end up missing what could become greatness all for petty arguments. I follow one such dev in a private forum and it's a shame he was forced to by thing like this.

Hey guys,
I let this thread go for awhile (I was logged on when he created it) and you all have said your piece/peace, in an almost professional manner which I for one appreciate very much. But now it is time for this OT thread to be closed. I do invite you to the Official OT thread to continue this discussion, as a few have already been doing.
Thanks you for being civil about it, but the time for this thread has expired.

Never realized xda member, themer, developer evil1art isn't listed as a developer here on xda. I'm always on tapatalk so I never noticed his avatar info.... till now.
How the funk isn't he a recognized developer? Argh!! Rally the troops.
** Petition sent to one Kenny Glass, for a prompt developer recognition of one evil1art**
I've used evil1art's ROMs spanning three devices and I always use his ROMs the most by FAR! I'm a flash-aholic and evil1art has me addicted to his crack. No matter which ROM I try I find myself back on a Wicked ROM.
Evil1art is a developer in my eyes. Let's show him our support and get him officially recognized by XDA. PM your local moderator. It takes 60 seconds. Politely tell them how much you love evil1art's ROMs.
Thanks

MOD EDIT: See Venum's closing post! Also spend 2 seconds and google Recognized Developer XDA application before wasting everyone's time on a petition
Its great to support your xda developers, all he has to do is follow the application process with his development work once they open the app process again. Im sure hes well aware and has without question put the work in to be accepted, but xda doesnt exactly have a petition process. Its up to the developer to follow the proper procedures to have their xda status changed.

How is this even possible??? The man's thread on the s3 has over a million views! A MILLION!!! This device hasn't been out that long and it's clear that his wicked rom is the #1 rom on this phone (based on # of downloads and views in his thread at least, subjective I know). If anybody deserves to be a recognized developer it's evil.

Well to be corrected, he was a recognize themer, not developer (always pertain him as a recognize developer in my head regardless)
So are you petitioning for him to get his old title back or a new title?

Thanx bro!
But dont waste your time
Xda removed my RT title for unjust reasons and after I appealed it they still gave no reason! I doubt I will contiue to upload work to a website that doesnt appreciate the 100,000 plus downloads, over 1,000,000 views on 1 rom and all the free work I post here.
My profile shows 1 infraction they are saying 2? Gave no reason for the second one so who knows. I was called every name in the book and all I said was I hope they choke, thats it! I see devs do a hell of alot more vulgar things on here!
So follow me on twitter and fb because my links maybe getting pulled!

I support evil as a dev, total awesomness comes from this guy, and thanks to the OP for making this thread, I was considering this myself but I didn't know all the facts, so I didn't want to ask for forgivness later. Sadly, if evil pulls his links, I don't have fb or twitter so I don't have that access. I am subscribed to this thread now to stay current and give all of my support to evil and his work. :good:
When I got my S4 I was a little worried about the available ROM's but evil has put together something really nice and has something for everyone.
He has several things in his ROM's that I had never seen before and they all work as they were intended. I have installed several ROM's over several devices. It would be a very good thing to see evil get RD status, his work is amazing.
thanks

Yeah I've always laughed at that title too. @evil1art runs the galaxy devices. Wicked ROM is always the most used, mist stable, has the most views and has a very active thread. Even better the thread activity is almost never bug related. XDA is weird. A lot of very contributive members have been denied RC status even. Mods are getting crazy here. Its a development site for developers to develop and share. If you are developing, and sharing, who is to say that a person is not a developer. Whatever. Keep me posted Nick if you start posting elsewhere.
