[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
I am going to be taking leave from XDA and the Epic development world for a while. I make no guarantees about what will happen with regard to INC but I suspect you won't be seeing the name around much longer.

I will be working on the Indulge while I lay low for a month or two. I make no guarantees beyond that. I will not be answering any questions regarding myself, ACS, INC, or any member thereof. Do not ask. You will not get answers.

Behave yourself, kiddos.

[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
Aw damn it... good luck I guess. Hope you come back.
[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
You will be sadly missed. You have done great things for the Epic and made it a better phone. Thanks for everything and enjoy yourself with whatever you go on to do. I hope to possibly find you on a future phone :) It's been a pleasure.
[Epic 4G General] rickyq12:
Damn bro, sux to hear that you're taking a leave. I'm sure you have reasons why you decided to stay low for a while. Good luck and I just want to say that I appreciate/enjoy your work.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Sorry to hear that. I have enjoyed your work, but I guess you need a break from all the drama lately. Hopefully you can find yourself back here after the dust settles and bring about some improvements for our Epics.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Cya later...I told myself i wouldn't cry...*wipes tears*
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Good luck with your career/ future in developement dude thanks for your work oveer here

... now with that HOLY S#!TT this has got to be one of the worst forums on XDA...

I'm moving to EVO 3D until k0nane comes back!

Unless I simply cannot help myself (which will probably be the case..)
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Well I'm sorry to hear that :( I hope everything goes good for u in what ever u do I appreciate ur work and thanks for everything especially the 2 gingerbread leaks. ;) hope to see u here soon. Don't let stupid and unappropriate people bring u down. Thanks again for all of ur work
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Back to being the worst supported phone. Even our best software won't be supported or developed... Wonderful. Thanks for all the hard work, though.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Thanks for your support, everyone.

Knowing me I won't be able to stay away entirely. I won't be developing, though. Those who have contacted me on GTalk before know where to find me, and I will privately assist anyone who needs it.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Yes i will be getting E3D also... seems to be the only decent choice on sprint right now for me ...

Dual core 1.5 GHz processors under-clocked to 1.2....Think about the OC possibilities :D

Sure ill miss the Amoled but we all know the Evo name gets all the love and you can't deny HTC build quality.... After this phone i will try my best to avoid Sammy.
[Epic 4G General] p3dr0maz:
Oh dayyuuummm. Losing a great dev. Good luck man. Hope to still see you around.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Take care. Have fun with the other projects. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the projects here with the Epic community. You made this place better with your efforts. Have a good one.
[Epic 4G General] fnordsnafu:
Even us newbies will miss you terribly. Best to you.

Trying to lighten the mood: No puzzlezs for z..? :) lol jk
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
One more thing... As some of your saw in my statistics thread, my domain serves a lot of traffic. You all don't have to worry about missing files or broken links. Everything that was hosted, stays hosted.

Z, you'll get your puzzles. I was never the one working on them.
[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:
Crap not only a great dev but awesome support also. Really sux.
[Epic 4G General] cds0699:
Thanks for everything you've done, I love using your ROM.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Can someone please fill me in a little here ?

Okay so Ko will be taking a break...

Rob got a Nexus S and no longer Devs here? (Asking)

So Syndicate and MidNight are basically gone ??
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Aww, really? Dang, I thought you were. Idk if it'll meet my standards then. :)

[sig]I'm close to root, im patiently waiting on those puzzles[sig]
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
And TheDub got a nexus s, but says he'll still support Simply AOSP until he finds a suitable replacement dev.

well that tears it..... really looking forward to CM7 now =\

Sad to see the epic dev community taking such a hit in this short time span.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
I am going to light myself on fire on protest of this decision
[Epic 4G General] Pancakeface4:
Very rarely do I post on here (mostly lurking and quietly enjoying what the dev's have done for us and our phone), but I'm gonna miss you k0nane. I wish you the best of luck! :-)

P.S. Don't leave us!!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
Sucks it has to be this way bro, but thanks for the great work! Wish you the best of luck in whatever you do!

This is a sad day for the Epic community but I wish you all the best.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Sometimes it's best to remove the diseased tissue to save a leg.

I just think the drama cut a bit too deeply into some live tissue on this one.
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
I think Im starting to regret buying an Epic... its been a few months since release, the dev was relatively small and one the few devs onboard is now leaving...

Man, shouldve stayed with my Hero.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I'm not gone. :) I will continue developing on the Epic so no worries there, however this really sucks. k0nane is 1st class in my book and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. He has his reasons and I support that 100%. This is a big hit to this community but I know we can keep things going.

k0, thank you for everything you have done for this community and for me. I'm sure I'll talk to you soon :)

Best of Luck
[Epic 4G General] KdrickDynasty:
Sometimes things occur and we don't always understand why. I could be wrong but from reading up on your situation, I don't think what happen to you was necessarily a negative situation. You are a talented individual and your work is an extension of that. You have parted ways with the negativity that was around you, now you and your real family can unleash your true selfs. Never let others reprogram how you get down. These type of situations build character and become the foundation for bigger and better things. BTW, the INC name and logo was a pretty slick start to your new identity and what you represent! Just my two cents.
[Epic 4G General] Eins7ein:
A very sad day indeed for the epic community. SRF made this phone great. Good luck with whatever you do.
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
At least Deca is around here now...
[Epic 4G General] Vertig0:
k0 see you on the other side (EVO 3D)!!!

thanks for all the hard work!
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Looks like my sig has no meaning now =\

I'm gonna miss ya, k0nane
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
8'( K0 will definitely be missed though

Thank you for staying Rob even though your have a very busy life i really appreciate your continued effort
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Mr. K0nane you will be sorely missed. Who is going to follow all of my responses with "this 10char"? LOL.

Hope to see you back here real soon!

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
im seriously concerned with how everyone says "see you on the other side evo3d!!!"

is there somewhere that he posted he was gunna get it? cuz i musta skipped over that detail >.>

this 10char
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
That was only one person... i think he's confused meybe a little.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Why are you concerned? He never said that, at least that I know of. People are just saying that because that the next big thing to come along. :)

ok so not everyone was convinced he was getting it, but where is the love for the sprint within? honestly the evo3d will have a big support, but no where near what it could have gotten.

sure hes not saying hes swearing off htc, but it certainly is a sign of the times on android :P
[Epic 4G General] scienceguy:
K0nane and ptfmedic. Make my Epic! Appreciate all you both have/will do in this community!
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
K0nane, will you be handing off the work you've done on the new version to be completed? Many were excited by the teaser thread, obviously.
[Epic 4G General] Redphinz:
Thanks for your work K0nane; Your's was the first ROM i used. Please be gentle with my cherry! ;)
[Epic 4G General] slipmaggot8:
Good luck with everything Ko, thanks for all the goodies!!!
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
I don't like this one bit :( But I'm sure you have your reasons. I'm just sad to see such a fantastic developer and person leave the community.

We'll be waiting here for you k0nane, should you ever decide to come back to us! Thanks for all your hard work and support.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Nice to see you again!
[Epic 4G General] YoungBloodTheKing:
I know mysteryemotionz has worked side by side with k0 on development of sfr. Although k0 was the lead chef and mysteryemotionz was his assistant. idk if k0 handed the rom to him or not and well see in time.

[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
kOnane, you sir will be held in the highest regard, if I ever wronged you I'm sorry... You were an inspiration to me and many others...

This phone just became a ****ing Moment, oh wait they have a gingerbread port also, nevermind...

Im getting tired of changing this...
[Epic 4G General] kalel_293:
awwww shux! i was looking forward to srf 1.1.1 or any ro

u were going to release...but i guess u gotta do what u gotta do...good luck to u bro...i really appreciate all the worked u've done...thank u...
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
fukin kids these days, ruin everything. Why do so many 13 year olds buy this phone and then due to drama over a cell phone chase away good developers!!

As a 31 year old, I'm pissed because the phone was JUST about to be perfect... and now that Viper rom is dead too, there's no hope!
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
This really is too bad. SRF was the one and only ROM that's ever been on my phone, though midnight and bonsai were always being thought about.

k0, best of luck to you man, hopefully we choose the same phone again down the line as I'll be sure to use your goodness. You devs made the Epic a useable phone.
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
Better start donating the Bonsai team so we can get Bonsai ROM, or Bkaed ROM for that matter... bummer.
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
ACS is still here as is many others
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Umm...I'm pretty sure viper hasnt disbanded.
[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
k0nane, you will be missed. You brought alot to the table and it will all be sorely missed in the Epic community. Thanks for taking the time you did to share a few things with me and help me along with my ROM and many others too...

Not to mention Android Central will also miss you too....

[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:
WHAT ?!?!?!

Do my eyes deceive me ?

Say it ain't so ! kOnane your talents will be missed while you are away --- but I'm gonna hang on to the fact that you are just saying "Taking Leave" and not really saying goodbye .... and instead of "see you on the other side" , let's try "see you back soon" instead .... GOD Bless !
[Epic 4G General] motog35:
I finally got around to flashing my first ROM, Syndicate Rom that is. And it is amazing.

I am sadden by this news as but wish you all the best K0nane! Hope to see you back very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will probably stick with Syndicate until your return =|
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Someone must have realllly pissed you off. Which means someone reallllly needs their ass kicked.

I just want to know what happened to cause the creation of INC, and now k0s depature. I'm assuming it was internal acs stuff...I hope to god it wasn't over something as silly as the ee03 leak.

And ill miss you k0. Shuriken was my first ROM. And while I don't use SRF, your talents and contributions are certainly not lost on me. You are an immeasurable asset, and always will be.

And this hurts people like me. I'm the kind of person to keep a phone for a long time. My first smartphone was the xv6700 (ppc6700 on sprint). And I had that for 5 years. So with another dev down the tubes (hopefully not for good though), that's another mod or improvement I won't have. Xda has become my favorite pastime, but it will be increasingly difficult to enjoy android as more and more people fall off. I'm imagining a time when ill be the lone poster on this forum lol. A freakin ghost town.

A ghost town full of immature, unappreciative, two-bit file pushers that make me sick. You've ruined a great community for me, others, and mostly yourselves. Yet you'll never see it. Go burn pirated xbox games and leave these devs alone.

Idiots
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
Why is Konane leaving?
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
Cause he can... cause this is not a job more like a hobby... cause of people not READING:
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Get an EVO 3D k0nane. I know I am. HTC is so much easier to developer on, plus larger community base too.

It is also the only phone, besides the HTC Sensation 4G because it's it 2D brother, to have true dual-core processing. Meaning the cores don't share a memory bus.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I was seriously considering the SGS II but if this is where the tide is turning, maybe I will as well LOL.. I want a dual core and don't want to wait.. i'm an impatient prick !! LOL

Sorry to see you go k0nane.. Hopefully you'll return and not let the douche nozzles muck up things too much... your contributions are invaluable and very much appreciated.

Dude, good luck with whatever you're doing, I think I might just sell this Epic and move to a Nexus S.

good luck, the epic community will miss you =p

[Epic 4G General] epic4GEE:
Thanks for everything k0nane, you will be missed.

To everyone else, this just goes to show why I love all our devs. You get to attached to one, then your world dies when they go.

Looking to the bonsai tree and the viper for guidance, as well as remaining acs and inc members. I know for sure bonsai will not leave us to wither, as they continue to forge ahead and bring us goodies.

Oh and edit; the cm7 team and all the freelance devs we have. Will likely continue to contribute in a major way.
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
Thank you

Thank you for all you've done here. You'll be greatly missed.

I hope that after a few months away, you'll miss us and come back to play :D

[Epic 4G General] dazednconfused:
Definitely a good choice. Im loving the NS4G. Hate to hear k0nane taking a leave though. Not only an awesome developer, but was always there to help one out and give helpful answers. I'm not sure what happened but you will definitely be missed man and hope to see you back sometime soon working on something. Best of luck to you!

And did I actually see someone say that ptfmedic got a Nexus S 4g? That is freaking great if that is true, and I'm really hoping it is. Now if I could only get Ecooce to get a NS4G. Frankenstein would be amazing on the Nexus.
[Epic 4G General] ecartmen:
dude we all know why you are leaving xda. its not because of the drama. another website has made you their head rom guy or chef.

http://www.acsyndicate.net/head-chef-k0nane/

This happens all the time here. they start here then run into some stupid rule or get ticked off at something and decide to start a website themselves... look at rob for the midnight roms... www.loastandtired.com he started here and then left....
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
You are a lol.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
WOW.. You have no idea what your talking about.... You could MAYBE try to show some freakin respect.....Oh and it's www.lostandtired.com not www.loastandtired.com. If you gonna troll at least do that right......just remember how respected k0nane is before you disrespect him.
[Epic 4G General] dazednconfused:
Have you ever checked out Robs site? I just wondered when you can't even enter the correct link. His website isn't even based on android developement, its just a section that he has included for us and to help people become more aware of autism. That comment just seemed a little insensitive, or at least I thought it did. Do some of you people just troll all day long trying to piss people off or what? Go check out Robs site at the correct link: www.lostandtired.com and actually read a little and maybe you will learn something and stop being such a jackass.
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
you fail.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Well he is Eric Cartmen lol

Anyways, so is anyone actually going to tell the real story about what happened? Sooner or later the story needs to be told. I'll do it if no one else will, but it'll take me longer cause I'll need to go on a long walk while writing it...
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Ewww Story time ^_^

I Think it should be told but people shouldn't be allowed to post on it....
[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
No comment :eek: I have a rough idea but I'm sure many others around here are all ears to this story...
[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
+1 on that... You know everyone will go nuts on that thread... Whenever it does come out Impaler is going to have to do some heavy moderating on that subject..

We're all already bored with it and could care less. Does no one realize we just want someone to step up and work on our phone. I could give a rats ass if your source has ET69 flying out his ass. It doesn't help me unless it drops and if doing so destabilizes all the devs we have here then hell, we might as well all brick now... We are losing our patience with the pissing contest,
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
He could blog it somewhere...

Meh, it wont matter, it will end up being posted here anyways...
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
If someone writes the story, and no one makes a big deal about it. Impaler won't have to moderate anything. Someone just needs to tell the story, someone who is completely unbiased.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
...or we could respect his privacy. We ALL owe hims AT LEAST that much. If he wanted everyone to know then he would have explained it himself. No disrespect intended but what good could come of this?
[Epic 4G General] epic4GEE:
I think this community needs to chill and chill hard, 90% of the children around here aren't ready for the whole story.

I second that.

Rob is the rumor I heard true that you got a Nexus S 4G? I really hope it is because that would be amazing.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
I wonder if there has ever been a more "Fill in the blank" forum than the Epic forum on XDA... and i don't even know why it's bad... WE have a kick ass phone and we have shown that we can all come together (Sometimes longer than others) but still... there has been so much drama here but idk what it is... ill miss it.
