Ok, figured I'd just make 1 post for everything right now, it's easier on me this way.

Had surgery yesterday to re-attach tendon and fix joint damage in left arm, right arm is this coming monday.

Pain level is OMG, that stupid ass 1-10 scale they use, well i'm off the chart. Got no sleep last night, kept banging or moving my arm wrong. I can't move my left arm at all.

Development.....

Products and progress....

Better Than Life Roms,

Psirens

I have a RC3/Gold ready to release I think, at least I remember, or think i remember. I used it for a few days and I had no issues, I will have to locate it on my file server when i can.

Cassandra

I slapped together a DJ11 with Touchwiz 4.5 (kosh's) and had uploaded to The Android Door, forgot to post it here. That is in a Nandroid format, and probably the only release.

Future Echos

Still playing with the Gingerbread from the Sprint release. It works, and I have used it, however until Dan, Koudaxi and I finally get that Damn Kernel situated, I can't do a backup and test flashing, etc.

Better Than Life Kernels,

Kryton

The Gingerbread Kernel......wow, nightmare, currently it works, no errors, flashes zips, wipes, formats, advanced things, generally works, and works well. However the EXT4 bull-crap is the issue. I cant flash Future Echos and expect it to run as no matter how many times I try to get (I assume that its working) the partitions formatted EXT4, I have no real way of knowing if it is the Rom I built (Future Echos) or if I am actually having Kernel Issues. So Dan has enlisted a genius in helping us with the modules and the one main issue I had originally....a damn spelling error that would have been to hard to manually fix, so Koudaxi created a repair script to fix our source files....and it did work, I can pump out a new kernel with various changes for testing every 60 seconds. And I currently have 20 test kernels ready to go.

Those test kernels are not releasable, I did brick one of my tabs, but thats why i have more than one.

I am working on......man you guys are going to love this......seriously......

I am working on "buying" the Verizon Gingerbread "Leak" yes, I located it, yes I know who has it via a very helpful and dedicated person. Names are never going to be released, however I am waiting to pay utilities and other important's like food for the kids, diapers, etc before i can fork out a few hundred on a leak to snatch up. as it is I went from almost 2K a week from my job to a crummy 300.00 so its....well its rough, Im still waiting for "change" lol.

I now have a request if possible, strange, yet honestly, this could help me get work down while i have down time at hospital/recovering.

My Developing computer is a desktop, and i cant sit at the computer at all.

I do have a first gen Macbook, core duo, Model A1181. old, but in my opinion runs Linux just fine. However, I need some parts so I can use it in bed, or at hospital, and I dont have the money so I figured i'd try to track down some used parts, this is what I need,

Right Hinge assembly, just the metal hinge.

Keyboard. My space bar is busted, and F8 key missing

Battery, my battery expanded and failed last year, Apple told me to piss off, so I yanked out the cable that attaches to the mobo and battery, tossed battery, and had to super glue the magsafe to laptop just to make sure it doesnt get pulled when used.

Those 3 items, could get me 100% mobile. I know new laptops are cheap nowadays, but i see it as a laptop that runs all 3 OS's without problem, so to me its worth keeping, besides, the lid was autographed by a few bands when my wife and I filmed concerts.

If anyone has extra parts laying around, can you email me and maybe we can work something out?

So, this is what I need to do for the next 10 days,

Rest

Rest

Not Move and Rest.

What I am going to do.....

Be a butthead and probably try to work, however Dan is busting my balls about getting rest as I didn't and I ended up tearing my tendon within a week of the first surgery.

So I have some help from Dan, and my wife when she comes home, but that limits me to roughly an hour each day i can sit at the desk as I need to stay in bed and not move my arm and also rest my back. So I feel pretty damn guilty I cant get some stuff out. I thought about giving dan remote access to my computer, but I am a security freak.

Anyway, email me, ill have my tab laying next to me and can at least check emails, just to hard to type stuff out on it.
