Bit of a shi**y move but manning up and apologising in public goes a long way.

i was also clueless about this lol
[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
Everyone makes mistakes and it takes a big man to admit it, well done dude for creating this thread, we hope to see your themes in the future;))) You should have just labeled Infusion as a theme for deodexed 2.3.4 ROM's;))

Anyway thanks for clearing the matter up;)
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
hats off to OP. nice to see openness and honesty.

hope we can move on
[Galaxy S II General] FishTaco:
Don't sweat it. Apple steals sh*t all the time and claims it as their own. You too could be worth billions someday with the same strategy.
[Galaxy S II General] Nitroz:
Thanks for the forgiveness. As a treat tonight in updating the Black Android theme by Pele with my own tweaks. :)
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
Lucky chap that there are no patents in Android for XDA ( sort off) But Hey better late then never

And If pulser and the other's have forgiven ya who are we to Judge :D
[Galaxy S II General] Nitroz:
Black Android Theme has been updated.
[Galaxy S II General] Tom-Helge:
The only reason i was liking the work nitrozk's did with the ROM's was because of how the ROM was looking and because he updated the ROM with alot of things pretty fast.

The fact that the ROM had the green colors (i like blue colors to like in Lite'ning ROM) and no TouchWiz and was using the default Gingerbread home launcher made that my default choice of a ROM.

I know TouchWiz is good, but i like things as much stock as possible except for the Samsung stuffs.

So it would be great if someone could make a ROM that actually have no Samsung stuffs and that use the stock Android 2.3 Gingerbread home launcher with all of the tweaks and stuffs that are out now.

Just to illustrate what i'm thinking on, then look here.

So i hope some ROM makers (that ofc haven't stolen anything from others) can release a ROM that is like the ROM nitrozk had was.

For some rreason i always thought u were phoney. Just the way u came across and ur previously deleted threads made u look even more dodgy.

Never used ur Rom tho but least my gut instincts were right .
[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
Since people are coming clean on this thread, I have something to confess too.

I pirated the XDA app :O

But, it's free so what's the problem.:troll:
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
Flamers should lighten up in my opinion.

whole point of gpl is that derivate works of a gpl product cannot be claimed as their own in the way that some people are now claiming.

Sure, don't mislead about the origins of your rom, but really, when's the last time you saw someone thanking google or samsung or linus in their OP like the earlier days of android?

I probably won't be popular noting this but I have noticed recently a greater tendency for un yielding approach to derivative works than before.

There tends to be lots of thanks to other xda members (rightly so) but unlike the early cyanogen posts on g1, very few now thank the original OEM suppliers of the rom, kernel, or driver code being kanged to create the custom ports.

Any how. My point is it's not just this guy who is tweaking stuff and then declaring the whole as his own to not be copied.
[Galaxy S II General] mrchilly:
@nitrozk could you refund my donation please
[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:
Joke is i just left infusion for design gears rom before i saw this. Ok people lets relax its only a rom and hes apologised!! Which couldnt of been easy. Lets generate this hate to iphone users!!! Jk jk!!!! Hes owned up! Pulser and design gears r ****ing legends!

Im looking forward to ur themes and will donate :)
[Galaxy S II General] bee55:
That exactly.

Refunding the donations was a right step to make though.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Android is not GPL licensed.

[Galaxy S II General] netsky56:
Loved your ROM but I moved to Cognition (since it won't be updated anymore)... Hope you'll make great themes, good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] Hunteres:
where i come from we call people like this thiefs -

and from my personal experience they can not be trusted anymore.

Apologize took place in this case to late. Saying i am sorry wont make any diference. And he should leave the forum imidiately. Nobody is gonna force him to do so, but how can u look in the mirror and say hey guys i am back with new theme? There is always something behind. I am not gonna trust this source anymore - never. He sould leave and be shame off what he has done.

There is no way back!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! be man once in your life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
So true. He stole, lied, claimed credit, and accepted donations. Only after he was caught did he apologize. Personally, I admire the senior members of this forum to forgive-and-forget, but we all know it's hard to change a person's stripes. I defer to the xda consensus, but I personally don't admire nitrozk.
[Galaxy S II General] Tom-Helge:
Instead of bashing nitrozk for this, then you should go and bash the other 20+ guys who have done the same as nitrozk here.

Hallelujah, stop whining and use the best ROM you can find.
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
WTF? nitrozk bashed himself! Who cares if other people did/do the same thing as nitrozk? It's all the same.
[Galaxy S II General] Tom-Helge:
Maybe you did understand me wrong. What i meant was that you / others should go and bash the other 20+ guys to instead of only bashing nitrozk because of this.

It's not only nitrozk that have done this. This is something that alot of peoples are going to do all the time, and therefore, the forum mods created a new forum section for those ROM's like nitrozk's ROM.

You guys just have to man up and accept that.
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
Two wrongs (or 20+ guys/wrongs) don't make a right. You can't catch every fish in the sea. Ya gotta take a stand somewhere.

The OP stole other people's effort and profited from it. That's wrong in my book. Why do think he was caught? I know it wasn't because of me. In general, people to don't like other people taking credit for their work.

Good for him to apologize. Thats a step in the right direction. But it doesn't make up for everything.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Hopefully nitroz you learned from your mistake. Everyone on XDA kangs it's about giving credit and asking for permission. It takes big balls to man up and apologize for your actions. It looks like you've taken steps to work things out with pulser and designgears. Here's to an honest new beginning.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
It is possible that those 20 individuals asked for permission to kang their work. Anyway, water under the bridge.
[Galaxy S II General] phunkycow:
Too much drama. Maybe you should cut his head off so we can safely browse the forums again. We can't have criminals wandering around here.
[Galaxy S II General] Hunteres:
in modern social system - that is working world wide is every thief punished. I cant see future for anyone who used/took/stoled anything for thems purpose - or with intention to make some money or be more popular!

and guy who is calling the things out is even more kid. ONE MORE TIME - A REAL MAN SHOULD ACCEPT THE FAIL - and if he has a BALLS he should leave imediately, not giving out the information. he should state the things that he was stating on his twiter, like he is inocent and he is ROM DEVELOPER!!..haha guys pls forgive me but this is so silly.

Just imagine u donated him even 1$, donated his lies!!! Your hard earned money. fair play to pulser and DG who forgived him. - they should be honored for this.

THIS SOURCE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED ANYMORE - he should place the apologize in his signature! i wont even waste more words on this. End of the story.
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
I love you. You're right. However, I'm not sure people understand or care about what you're saying. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. Don't take credit. Don't profit.

I believe there are people here that deserve all the credit. Give credit where credit is do. And give them money because that's what's make the world go round. I know it. You know it.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Just to let the fan hit the shyt, why is that new sub-forum created?

Seems lots of persons do almost the same, the big diff. is, they get answers to their questions before they create and post before they claim and add thnx to for help.

That doesn't say that i agree to what he did, that was pure wrong, he managed to do before getting an approve etc etc.

But that new sub-forum says a lot to me, and we can see it in the new theme creations, need to make 1 set to support all, cause all has the same base with small tweaks, the one does this, the other that, the third has a mix of em both.

That's why those roms are there (in the newly created Sub-Forum) if you read the Announcement properly.

That just leaves one thing, Nitrozk you did very wrong by passing important rules of using each others stuff, waiting for an approval and posting before it of even out-pass what you where allowed by that other person.

Hope that this new Sub-Forum will become to contain all roms that should be there and that the REAL Dev section will contain real dev-work and that the roms of the other sections wont remain here(in standard/real development) so that we can see the difference and are able to judge them by that in their own section.

This is my maps battery consumption after 4 hrs if use. Gps isn't even on!! How can I dolce this problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
I too found that Maps was eating away on my battery so i just froze it in Titanium Backup and have seen a noticeable increase in battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omnomnom25:
There's an insane amount of bloatware packaged with the S2, and for some reason they have certain programs running all the time, eating away at your battery.

As suggested above, freeze it with Titanium. And if you haven't already, check out the APK List [search for it], which will help you decide what bloatware to uninstall, if you haven't already.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riqz:
Sorry four my ignorance but I need to be rooted right? Cools you give a noob a nice tutorial to root the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
From this screenshot everything seems normal. Your batterie is almost full, so from this point of view it's normal that it eats up 14% of the total.

Why would out be normal to eat up 14% of my battery if out isn't even on?

Ok! Rooted in about 10 seconds eheh. Bought titanium pro and froze maps. Uninstalled crappy samsung bloatware and hopefully tomorrow i'll see a battery improvement. Thanks again for all the help.

You're most welcome. Glad to hear everything went well.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Because you say this:

And so far as I can tell your batterie is almost full. The 14% is relative, it is based on the amount of juize already used. Based only on this screenshot I don't see a problem.

If you never had maps opened and running in the first place then that's a different situation then the one your prescribed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riqz:
Now that's what I'm talking about!! Thanks

It's most likely Latitude. I was seeing similarly inexplicable Maps use until I signed out of the sack of kack Latitude app. Hugely improved battery life!

[Galaxy S II General] japcars:
phone is 1 week old was running beautiful until battery started to get a little hot. i was like ok nothing to be alarmed about put it in my pocket. does have a silicon case on it.

20 min late take it out and my screen has turned white. so i do all different things to reset it, take battery out for 30 min let it cool down and try again still white screen...

i have never dropped the phone or anything that may have made the lcd crash/loose its pixels.

i know the phone is working like normal as i swipe and went into the camera and volume up its just the screen/lcd WHITE?

so my question is what the hell is going on.

do i change the battery?

do i replace the lcd?

i cant re-set the phone cant see anything on it.

here is a video i found on youtube have the exact same screen and problem

search this in youtube "Galaxy S2 White screen" ..

thanks for any information you can provide.

and please dont say do i have warranty or take it to samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] Omnomnom25:
Maybe it overheated the graphics chip, thereby damaging the video output.
[Galaxy S II General] japcars:
it only got slightly warm, it wouldnt have got that hot at all to overheat.
[Galaxy S II General] Omnomnom25:
Have you tried connected it to your PC and flashing either a different rom or reflashing the stock rom with ODIN?

That's the first thing I'd try.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Take to service centre dont mess with roms .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] japcars:
yeah ok ill give that a shot but it will be hard sense i cant see anything on the screen...but i still cant see why it would be the firmware/different rom..
[Galaxy S II General] japcars:
yeah i do not want to open the phone myself or anything i just want to know what happed and what needs to be done before i go to a shop and they rip me off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toek_boer:
Hello!

Short: I f'd up my camera software, what should I do?

Long:

Data:

Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000

Android 2.2.1 FROYO

Rooted

Pre:

QR code scanners gave a black camera screen and Zombie Booth crashed if I wanted to take a picture with it.

Ive read some things about this, and tried to fix it with a fresh camera.apk and camerafirmwire.apk.

Problem:

Backed up camera and camerafirmwire with TitaniumBackup and uninstalled it with this same program.

I loaded the downloaded fresh apks on my phone and tried to install.

Installation failed.

I tried to replace the apks with ES File Explorer (root). In the system/app direction. My camera app is still not back, installation still fails (from within download and the replaced apks in system/app).

Now I try to restore my files from within TitaniumBackup, it does not exactly crash but it just says restoring the apk forever, it doesnt actually let me install it.

Tried:

Ive searched around a bit, I have not found anything which resembles my problem, Ive seen someone point at SD Maid, Ive tried this, Ive cleaned the files for camera and camerafirmwire. The delete works. After this when I attempt an install it tells me the install fails, but some data is written to sdcard, when I open up SD Maid again, this is seen as dead data and I can remove it again.

The camera does not seem to be working any more, under any program, Ive tried Camera360, but it crashes on startup.

Thank you in advance for reading my thread, I hope you can help me.

Any advice welcome, as I am a noob, as detailed as possible (or links to guides, which I should follow).

I hope it does not come down to a reset/wipe of my phone.

Ive had to do the factory reset once already, it was a real pain.

Thanks in advance,

Toek.

[Fascinate General] 4LC4PON3:
I am looking to get a Fascinate but im semi new to Smart Phones. Ive heard that the phone suffers from Missed calls all the time. Not sure if this is has been resolved or not but would like to know before grabbing one.
[Fascinate General] wardcst:
Mine does build date 9/10 Can repeat after 1 hour letting it sit Idle it will not ring

My sons build date of phone 3/11 I can not get his to miss calls

His is a great phone

At first I thought it was a software Only problem. But if that were tru than all phones would do it

My sons you can leave it sit unused over night and call it in the Moring and it rings

I can leave mine 1 hour and it will not ring

So I guess it depends on phone.Samsung is working to have fix released by end of month But you know how rumors go.

I paid 112.00 for a fascinate off eBay for my son and it was a great deal

Does not have the missed call bug

So if you get one make sure it is a newer build date
[Fascinate General] sfobrien:
After moving to the ED09 radio my missed calls went away. Used it on ComRom 2.1 and now CM7.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
I'm on ec09 & the latest cm7 & I still have it. Odined back to stock & took all the ota's to get back to ed04 & it was worse. Called vzw tier2 support & they gave me an option to go to a droidx2 or dinc2 because sending me another fassy probably wouldn't fix it. I've spent the last 3 days researching & visiting vzw stores to get a feel for what will work best for me. My point: it is a prevalent problem that spans more than one baseband or build or os platform.
[Fascinate General] sfobrien:
Go to corporate store and ask about getting a Charge. They are doing that right now until they fix the missed call thing.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Tried that at 2 different ones but it was a no-go because the tier2 tech didn't list it in the notes. The last one said they'd only do 3g to 3g or 4g to 4g swaps.
[Fascinate General] jpricesd:
I'm on the EC09 radio and I still get missed calls on occasion. It's really frustrating.
[Fascinate General] deaffob:
Um I've been getting a lot of missed calls and sms with EC09 a month ago but since I changed to ED04, I never had that problem. EC09 sucked ass for me.

[Fascinate General] putney1477:
I've been having the missed call thing too for a few weeks now too. Should I flash back to stock and bring it to the store? What exactly do I tell them? Or should I call tech support?
[Fascinate General] anoninja118:
Haven't heard of the bringing it to the store option having much success, however you can call tech support and tell them about the missed call issue they should offer you a choice of some new phones. In that case yes you would have to reset it back to stock to send it back.
[Fascinate General] jbatch:
Taking it to the store was a huge waste of my time. The instore "tech support" (insert sarcasam here), suggested that the problem was to many apps installed...ya sure....

Called tech support and got offered the inc2 and x2, I suppose I could have pushed and tried for a charge but I wasn't feeling up to it. So I went with the inc2 since I've never tried an HTC phone and have heard of multiple issues with the x2.

Gonna miss my fascinate though.
[Fascinate General] putney1477:
Yeah don't you love how theybtry to blame apps and other things on the missed call issue. Especially when its a known issue. The tech person I spoke to.on the phone said my missed call issue was because I have google voice!?
[Fascinate General] ericede:
I've had a few missed calls but they are on my Google Voice number so I'm not sure if I can blame the phone, but then again nobody calls me on my actual number so I'm going to have to pay closer attention. I just upgraded to a EC09 ROM so we shall see.

[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
Well, this is annoying..I had the missed call problems like crazy...EA28 modem seemed to help..rarely had any..then the phones modem crapped out(no 3g)...called for a replacement..its my first replacement, so they refused to offer me a different model...

The "Like New" replacement they sent me is newer hardware version(11.something) and defiantly gets better speeds and stronger signal..But what bugs me is that I had to pay full retail price for a new fascinate in February since my old phone(a dump Samsung Rouge) crapped out on me and it was way before my upgrade came up...then I bought and 3000mah extended battery for $80...I originally tried to buy the "Certified pre-owned" Fascinate for $50 on their website, but they couldn't get it to go through, only if I were a new customer setting up a new account..so I bought the new model...now I am stuck with a Re-furbished phone...well -as long as it works properly...guess it works out regardless...as long as I don't start receiving missed calls..
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
I use Google Voice...(who can stand paying Verizon for their Visual Voice-mail crap)..

The only way I knew when the phone would be missing calls and was not reachable..is when Google Voice alerted me to new Voice-mails..I also have Google Voice set to send e-mail notifications to my home e-mail..I could also try calling out from the phone and it would just hang and not dial...definitely had some people mad at me for not "answering the phone" when I was supposed to be available..I was wondering what was taking them so long..:rolleyes:..so annoying when it happens and having to take the take to reboot and catch up...

I did try disabling Google Voice once..then they only way I knew the phone wasn't ringing is to check Google Voice on my laptop or e-mail...
[Fascinate General] lane32x:

great phone. This issue has long been fixed. If you have the budget I would get the samsung galaxy SII though.. just my 2 cents:p
[Fascinate General] askepios:
It's been a mess for me. I picked up a Fascinate recently. Rooted it immediately, and flashed UKB. I was missing calls all the time. After reading up here a bit, I flashed the ED04 radio when it was released. After that, I didn't miss a single call for...probably a few weeks. Now I flashed MIUI, and the problem came back. Tried flashing ED04 again, didn't really seem to help. Now I'm using EC09, and still missing calls while my phone's idle.

I've seen people suggest EA28. Which is that, and is it safe to try it with MIUI?
