Hi The Undertakerr,

thanks for your opinion

[the following post is

not

directed at you and kept general]

I do have the most respect for existz, kodos96, Ytt3r

in fact I DO respect all devs for their work on the SGS, other phones or any other devices - I have nothing but love for everyone who helps making this device

top-notch for a long period of time (in terms of software - it's already in terms of hardware)

how big or small the contribution may be it always drives us forward to the BIG goal of a faster, more secure, light-weight and overall better performing (smart)phone

you see it that way,

I see it the opposite:

1st of all: I'm not bad-mouthing Talon - why should I if I work on it and love it ? it's

THE

type of kernel I've been looking for the SGS all the time and I will try to do my best to push this even more (while of course discussing/negotiating with existz, kodos96, Ytt3r what is best in terms of speed + stability + functionality)

2nd: I've been observing kernel development for some time now and observed that several of the patches I used on my platypus kernels also found their way in 0.2.x and early versions of the kernel (I'm in no way claiming any intellectual or other rights on those since they are GPL licensed anyway !) - my current impression only is that my kernels served as a sort of "inspiration" in talon's development (I however could be wrong and my impression far away from the truth; I do )

3rdly: everyone can have their impression and opinion of things but in my

experience

there were several small lags and other issues (e.g. during longer gaming of Gun Bros) which first disappeared after I had applied my modifications (which btw are included in newer Talon kernels). These "tiny modifications" how you call them first made it possible to fully use the phone / kernel with zram how it was meant to be - at least for me (I've been tweaking & developing on kernels for Linux now for close to 10 years so there must be at least some know-how with these kind of things)

strangely there was also a wrongly implemented upstream patch included in the samsung source which no one noticed ...

the bootanimation issue is related to voodoo initramfs - I applied more aggressive optimizations to the kernel when CF-initramfs still was used so it's (probably) again an issue with the framebuffer or other parts

Why is everyone so easily offended ? Don't start rubbing respect under my nose - if anyone knows much about respect or has to deal with it on a daily basis it's me (as part of my apprenticeship in the medical field I have to deal with enough different kinds of people - besides that I have nothing but utter respect for everyone !)

I more and more understand why several devs call working on XDA exhausting:

- everyone on these forums are experienced devs - including the users,

- everyone knows best and/or has invested countless hours to know what works best

- as soon as new collaborators join in on already (for a longer time) existing project and expresses some constructive criticism the fanboys come in droves and scare new devs (or other involved) away by pointing with their finger at them not allowing any slightest kind of criticism since the way everything is done is put on a pedestal and the only way

In a nutshell:

I'm here to help & get the best out of our phone, for free and in my spare time (which is very limited anyway) and all I get is being reminded how Con (Kolivas) got scared away and feel like in the same situation [I'm not that talented/experienced like him and thus please don't accuse me of being boastful !]

keep in mind that English is NOT my native language so things might come across not as they were intended

thank you.

this get's annoying ...

if you want to stay in your comfy lane grooves of no change - so be it !
