I hope its true, every ROM is tried was crap for me.. the revolution rom from arif-ali was nice but too buggy for me and sometimes i cant flash it..

That would be great when he comes back. Mdeejay thanks for saving my day :D

If you follow MDJ's build/thread closely you know why it was banned. It had nothing to do with GPL.

I already rest my case with the hypocrite moderator (you know who you are) ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pulser_g2:
If you actually look at the threads, you will see that GPL was the issue.

I have reviewed the case, and there were numerous threads with no sources posted.

A number of members of the mod team made countless attempts to contact him to rectify the issue before any action was taken, but no replies were received.

As such, XDA has to act and remove a non-GPL compliant ROM/kernel, given the legal risks of it. A non-GPL compliant ROM is warez, and not permitted on XDA. Without satisfying the GPL, you have no right to distribute code or binaries derived thereof.

It therefore had everything to do with GPL. I have no idea which "hypocrite" mod you are trying to call out, but I've looked through this several times and all due process was followed by everyone I've seen involved.

The GPL is not optional, and GPL rules exist on XDA. I found numerous threads without any form of github links present, and therefore they were not in adherence with the GPL rules.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
Mdeejay and I follow each other on twitter and even though he hasn't mentioned coming back to the hd2 forum, he's here at xda and has released a version of Ultimate Droid for the DesireHD, with all the gpl, kernel and source links like he's required to.

Maybe we'll see him here soon.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jellywobbles:
After being a long standing fan of MDJ, I eventually switched (like you did) to the HyperDroidGBX ROM, and would be very hard pressed to switch back to an MDJ ROM. The HyperDroidGBX ROM blows away MDJs CyanogenMod7 v.2.6 offering. Its faster, infinitely smoother & just a better experience. This is of course just my opinion - but I have tried so many since MDJ went "missing" - my vote goes to Pongster & his superb roms. Battery life is awesome & everything works as it should!

The "HyperDroidGBX chef" is available on the forum to answer questions - and therefore support is fantastic! Its one thing having support requests answered by enthusiastic users (as with the MDJs CyanogenMod7 v.2.6) - but its even better to have a direct line to the developer! Top class support for a top class ROM that's regularly updated.

To anyone that was "MDJ blinkered" like I was - try one of Pongsters ROM's - only takes a few minutes using CWM. You've nothing to lose but lots to gain!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dark Fire:
I completely second this. If Xda-developers is truly on the side of open source, let's see some openness about issues such as MDeejay. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong (I haven't read enough about this yet), but it is not unreasonable for there to be some proper evidence, debate and, hopefully, mutual agreement about what MDeejay is doing that Xda-developers is not prepared to tolerate. Of course, this would have to take place on a neutral website, otherwise nothing can be treated as fact...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] crawlingcity:
Then you shouldn't have released
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] conantroutman:
Quick explanation.

The rom was reported as being based on someone else's work without their consent.

If mdj reported someone using his work without permission then that too would be taken down.

The rules are here for everyone's benefit and work both ways.

This is not a witch hunt or anything personal against mdj but rules are rules and we all agreed to them when we signed up.

For those of you claiming mdj should be allowed back, he is NOT banned. If it transpires that he did have permission for the dhd rom it will come back. If not, it wont.

Simples....

To all of you looking for an explanation of what happened. Read on page 3 of this thread a post by pulser_g2. This clearly explains why his work was taken down and why he was originally banned.

If you are going to keep on telling us (moderators and administrators) to f*ck off and that we can shove our rules and whatnot, you are obviously not making things easier for anyone. In particular, you are not helping mdj's case in any shape or form. Please stop with the trolling, name calling, flaming moderators, petitions, etc...

Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] egzthunder1:
Not to revive ghosts from the past, but some of mccmjoon's roms were blatant copies of mdj's work, and they too were taken down. This resulted in him being banned as well.

That sucks. I'm glad I got a hold of the UD rom for DHD before the thread was taken down. It's awesome. Let's hope that this will be over soon and the rom back online. Porting a rom to an unsupported device is only a good thing in my eyes.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] egzthunder1:
There are other moderators with more background on this than I have. However, the biggest issue is that UD roms are banned from the site as they tend to include warez in them (paid apps and such). Not sure about whether mdj is taking their code without permission or not, I have to look into this a bit further.

I am just trying to put a stop to this situation as it does not (and will) not lead anywhere other than towards a flame war.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] egzthunder1:
Ok, you see? I am trying to be a nice guy and explain the whole situation as I see it being played out. Do you honestly think that moderators have a vendetta against developers? This is the kind of posts that I cannot stand. We try to regulate the site based on rules that pre-date about 95% of the current developers on this site. They all agreed to the rules when they signed up (rules that have been in place for many, many years). Under your reasoning, just because he is good at doing something he is above the laws.

If you are going to make arguments, at least make valid ones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kenneth.sung:
well, right now, everything is controlled by admins, they will make their own decision

if your UD rom is online again, is it possible to make it support multilanguage input, like chinese :)? if yes, that would be absolutely awesome:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] egzthunder1:
You may be correct, and I am not blaming you of putting warez in it. Again, I am simply trying to calm things down around here. To my knowledge, UD roms were forbidden on this site for this reason, and were not allowed back. The devs of this rom were given the chance and they blew it as far as I know.

I will try to find out a bit more about the whole UD roms issue as I know that some other mods have more knowledge on this than I do.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jellywobbles:
I am not looking to argue or row - I understand that MDJ's work was removed due to the breach of XDA rules etc.

What I cannot get my simple head around is this:-

Why is that XDA allow users to post WinMo v6.5 ROMs & Windows Phone 7 ROM's? Surely that contravenes any Microsoft licencing terms and by allowing this, XDA is, put quite simply, condoning Warez? Similarly if I was to post a link to a "copy" of Windows 7 Ultimate, that link would be removed?

If I have "missed the plot" - then please enlighten me, as I'm sure there are many others just as confused as me?

Is it possible to have a procedure wherein a thread's download links are edited out and the thread is post-locked to only the OP and moderators in order to resolve license issues like this?

MDJ is without a doubt a v talented chef/dev, as a result his threads create a lot of attention, surely this is a good thing for XDA.

its not in XDA's interest to alienate popular chefs & dev, as im sure higher visitor counts helps the site appeal to advertisers. so my personal & possibly wrong opinion is Mr MDJ is playing a game,

he's a smart guy, he must know why this is happening, but he's playing the victim, god knows why:confused:

the mdeejay roms at sd card were really great, but other roms are great, too.

EDIT: This is only my personal opinion, it would be great to have one more developer with great roms and I loved mdeejays roms a few month ago, but

now I have no idea what could be better on android with the hd2 because it's all perfect?

There's a lot of people who do like mdj's roms. That is clearly evident from the response his threads and threads about him (such as this one) get. I used his roms for a long time too.

Kam makes a point, there is definitely something going on behind the scenes. As usual, it will have come down to a matter of principal, both parties feel they are right and owed an apology, as such, neither will give, or therefore receive one. It is sad for this huge community that this situation can not be resolved like adults. Both should issue a behind the scenes apology to the other, and xda should post that all this is over with. Reminds me of tweedledum and tweedledee, arguing over a petty point.

I hope this is sorted soon, for the good of the community. It definitely looks from a neutrals point of view that there is a witch hunt going on here.
