The disappearance of Wambo_Bomb... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's up with Wambo_Bomb's sudden disappearance?
I was looking to see if he had upgraded one of his roms and I suddenly start to see that most of the threads he started are gone.
Does anyone have any intel on what happen?
His roms were some of the best out for the OG Evo... what do we do know?
Will it be possible for someone to continue his work?

I don't think anyone knows a ton, but according to his post in the Original Development thread he will continue his work on android.aokforums.com.

He is still pumping out quality work but is no longer posting on xda. Like many of the good devs xda has become more of a pain. The reasons why I shall not go into. Just check out aokforums.

Why are some of the Inc dev's leaving XDA?

Ok. So i have been away from the form for a couple of weeks (family emergency) and I noticed that some of the dev's are packing up and going to different forums JoelZ9614, ihtfp69. What did I miss?
I'm kinda wondering that too tbh
devs should just ignore the crap and keep doing what they do.
Stuff like this makes me want to stay with CM even more. CM is my first love for custom ROMs and my favorite so far due to it's speed and features and open source model. Since they packed up quietly it just would make you speculate.
I like looking at the front page of Inc development to see what's new. We'll still be seeing new ROM on xda, just from fewer devs.

They are doing what they do, just decided to do it elsewhere. A few things have happened on xda that ticked a lot of people off.

im staying right here. doesnt matter who leaves, who stays. people need to grow the hell up and grow some thicker skin. this childish behavior HAS to stop for the good of the community. we will implode if all our devs leave. its like a joke to them. were not in third grade anymore guys. grow up, seriously......
...What exactly has happened on XDA that we're unaware of? Other than some of the people who use roms being totally immature, they will just follow to the other forums and spam that up. What's the point?

Not much of a development community yet.

I am new to Samsung, I came from an HTC phone. Over on the EVO3d there was tons of roms and themes second bootloader was unlocked. Was just wondering how it is on this side. I miss flashing things lol.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It seems like that, but in reality the phone was out for a month almost before it was unlocked. The devs had plenty of time to play with the contents of the phone.
This phone has been out like a week.
Woaah buddy, gotta be careful with what you say here.
Anyways, I came from the HTC evo 4g community which has been around a lot longer than this one. But still, it took a month or two to get things going.
I mean the 3D just got root like a month ago. I think progress here is going swimmingly. Just give a few more weeks.
We probably wont have the sheer quantity u are used to, but i assure you we will have plenty of high quality roms and themes.
I wasn't being negative. Was just wondering what developers are on this phone and what kind Samsung has. What I mean by not much of community is not many roms yet. If anyone thought I meant disrespect I'm sorry.

Well cyanogen now works for Samsung so what does that tell you about who Samsung has? ;-) I think Samsung is trying to turn its rep around.
I also came from the evo 3d and am very happy with the switch. Sure the evo 3d has a lot of roms but a lot of them are the same ****.. and there aren't too many "real" devs on the evo 3d.. a majority of them are just cooks who ran the stock rom through a kitchen just adding tweaks. Hell empire who clams to be a dev didn't write a single line of code. Just mashed up other peoples work

It SHOULD be stressed that only the founder Steve Kondik was hired, NOT Cyanogen as a whole. The team continues on, business as usual. Just to clarify
Rome wasn't built in a day. It's only been a week. I would rather have the devs take their time and release something solid and better than a themed stock ROM but that takes time... especially if it's thoroughly tested. It seems like a new trend to release ROMs with a few hours of testing so little things pop up like an apk missing or a function force closes. I will try ptfdmedic's ROM when it releases because I know his work from using it on my Epic. I am sure the devs are in the lab building masterpieces as we speak.

It'll take a bit but I'm certain we'll see increased activity soon.
First, based on comments, a good many probably just got their phones if they ordered from 3rd party vendors. Especially Let's Talk.
Secondly, the transition may take some getting used to. Going from OG Evo to 3D was primarily the same software. In fact, many probably worked with it with their OG Evo before they got the 3D. So now they have to "get to know" Touch Wiz, Odin, etc.

That's just the rom. Yes there has been talk about getting a dev to help out but its not like its in the title of the thread.
All im trying to do is get someone's attention to help out w/ getting cdma for verizon users to work for that rom.
Obviously no one seems to care to try or they're busy doing something else.
The dev himself is trying to make the CDMA version of it. It says:
CDMA Users: Still working on it.
Also its not that we don't care here, please keep in mind we are down to a couple devs, aero just got married and is moving and if I'm correct, another dev had his dinc2 crap out on him, be patient and someone will help

Nits is also real busy and even stopped developing his own MIUI because of it. He's got a lot to do between UKB for us and working on the Inc4g. I hope he can get some time to work on it though since he probably is the most familiar with MIUI of all the Inc2 devs right now and I really wanna go back to MIUI. But its up in the air.
It just boils down to that we don't have that many developers at the steering wheel of a DINC2 right now. Not like we have 20+ devs.
Sorry of this seems like a smart reply, just how I write and my personality tend to be.

Starting a Sense 4.1 port

Hey I'm about to start a Sense 4.1 port and I was looking for some help. I know the sense 4 all people tried but i refuse to believe that it's impossible to port to the GS3. I've sent some PM's out to some respected developers but nobody has responded. I understand the basics but need more knowledge. So if you feel like contributing then by all means please do so. If you aren't a Sense fan but still understand how, your help is welcomed too. Just no negative people saying stuff like "why would you want Sense on this phone.You should have bought the Evo." Just trying to give back to the community. Thanks on advance

I find it a nice port would love one of these ports I don't know android development but I do know basic programming
+1 to a sense port , I would love a sense port.
Demand
I know there is a demand for it and our phones are more than capable of handling it. Ive seen it ported to lesser devices so Im amped to get this started. I just need someone with a little more knowledge about porting to chime in. I think my main issue that i dont understand is getting the kernel set up to work on our devices. Spread the word lets see if we can get this development going
There was a tread started before and closed because people was not helping and acting childish, the people that was working on it said the hell with it. They had a decent port it had problems but hell it worked. Good luck but people always flood these threads with stupid questions like why don't you just get a htc phone or use a different launcher .

Maybe you should get in touch with the guys that have already started that port project. Not sure what kind of trouble they ran into but their work might provide a nice heads start for you. Just be sure and give them some credit. I personally would love to see a Sense port not because I necessarily like sense but this is XDA and this is what we do! Good luck with this!
+1 on the Sense port, sense has a better integration with android than TW does. Though TW is good in its own way...
get in touch with the team developing the initial port, their major problem was that they didnt have a sprint GS3 to test directly.
That's a great idea you guys. I'll shoot them a PM so we can get this ball rolling.

I'm not sure I'll be able to help. I know java / android programming, but have never messed with ROMs and such.

Have you look the sense4all projet? There is already a rom working for the internationnal GS3 (SO DON'T FLASH THIS ROM). Maybe you can try to port that one.
Also our phone have the same processor than the canadian HTC One X, maybe you can go in that direction.

I'm sure Thomas Edison got some good laughs when talking about the light bulb too. You don't know him or know what he's capable of; nor will you ever find out with this attitude. I envy his will to learn, and to take on a big challenge like this. I don't envy, I even despise attitudes like this that try to put people down who are attempting to do great things. To OP: even if you do fail at this, with the attitude you have, you will do great things.

In the same way guys... There's a learning curve. It could have been approached differently. But speaking from the position as he stated that he is completely new to this... If I was a sherpa and someone who had spent their life on a couch says they're interested in rock climbing, I'm not going to say, 'awesome, next week when your equipment arrives go to mount Everest and have fun!' There are ways to train and become better at things. Would suggestions have been better than simply stating that it'd not go well... Yes. And coming here to help where there are experienced devs is good hopefully their guidance will be enough to get him on the right track with this project and if not maybe he can start out smaller and build to this project.

I mean lets be realistic has sense ever been ported completly stable to a non htc device before? Dont go swimming in deep waters if you dont know how to, start off shallow then work your way up.
Being real about the situation might seem harsh but it is what it is......but if he does have some sort of coding skills than by all means do whatever
