This is beyond a joke....

For the last 3 days I've been trying to resolve this in way that's most beneficial for the Evo community. However, no matter which way this pans out I'm still going to keep waking up to an inbox full of people telling I'm on a power trip or mouthing off about how my decisions are just plain wrong.

By the way, those of you who are mentioning the involvement of a kernel, this has absolutely nothing to do with a kernel, the changes made to a kernel or the redistribution of a kernel.

Here's a few facts for those of you who like to throw around words like open source and GPL;

The GPL applies to kernels.

This means that any modifications you make must be made available in the source code upon request.

The GPLv2 only applies to the kernel. Android is licensed under Apache License v2.

What the Apache License allows you to do is modify and re-release in addition to changing the licensing in the modified version. Providing certain criteria are met.

Essentially it allows me to modify AOSP and change the licence I release it under.

Which leads me to XDA's rule 12.....

Pretty self explanatory, no?​

When we combine the two, I find it very difficult to believe that anyone could dispute the fact that permission is required to use someone else's ROM as a base for your own....

I'm not getting into the specifics of this whole drama as that would not be fair on the individuals involved but I will say this, there's a pretty good chance you DO NOT know the whole story, you have no business harassing me via PM and expecting me to offer you a detailed account of my actions, there are only 3 parties who are entitled to that and they have all had one.

That's not to say that everyone who has contacted me has been wrong to do so and for those of you sending the polite and reasonable messages, please ignore that last part.

Secondly you all know that the ICS ROMS for the Evo are based from the work of the Evervolv guys, therefore their permission is required to use that work and release your ROM.

One particular Evo developer currently does not have permission to use this as a base and his ROM cannot be posted here on XDA.

Whether the differences here can be sorted and some sort of arrangement reached is between the two parties involved.

Someone else has been given permission to use this base ROM and is currently doing so. If there is a dispute about whether or not that ROM contains work which has not been permitted for redistribution then that is something that should be reported to a relevant forum specific moderator (there is a list in my signature) with proof to back up your claim.

I am not taking sides in this, I am simply trying to reach a resolution that leaves you with at least one ICS ROM available whilst adhering to the rules of XDA.​

While I'm here I think it's worth mentioning that this is a development forum and this whole drama could have been avoided with a little more development and a little less crying over spilt milk....

Want to release a ROM without having to worry about anyone else??

Build from source. Simples....
[EVO 4G General] Philyteach:
I hate to break this to you, but XDA does not rule the world. Their (our) rules don't apply to twitter. I may be wrong, but all of the preludedrew rom posts that I saw here were reposted here by someone other than preludedrew. Kinda hard to blame him for what someone else posted.
[EVO 4G General] egzthunder1:
hey Mazda,

The sources rule applies only to kernels, which is in fact a requirement for gpl compliance. Any software not licensed under gpl can be posted without sources. Having said that, if said work is being based on someone else's work, permissions must be obtained from the original dev. That is what rule 11 goes for.

I haven't been in the og evo scene for a while and as such, I am not sure what is going on here, but if a dev used someone else's rom as a base with no permission to do so, we will take it down upon complain from the original dev. Hope this makes sense.
[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
my .02: I've been following the dispute via the threads on XDA and posts on Twitter. Mazda, I've used your mods and obviously you have been a great asset to the XDA community. In light of everything that was posted and evidence provided, I'm confused as to why you continue to rail against PreludeDrew and others. We all know that the issue could have been prevented/resolved just by JTG thanking Evervolv at the top of the thread. This has been stated many times that this is the true core of the issue.Yet, even after the mods add further clarity, you now say that the modified kernel source code should be posted - even though PreludeDrew gives credit to Tiamat by listing the kernel name as "2.6.38.8 - Tiamat_Evo-v4.1.0+andrew@andrew-ubantu." It just appears that you are allowing your friendship with JTG to cloud your judgement. If I'm wrong, I do apologize.
[EVO 4G General] jaredthegreat:
Hey pay attention...... I had thanks in op......I HAVE thanks in op on my site STILL...I'm getting really sick of this I had thanks in my op whole time up until the night they kept harassing me so I deleted all traces of ics then they stormes thread....ask anyone that knows how to read a op....thanks were right under op pics....I have a screenshot if any doubt...or just look at my site in which I own and still have proper thanks for people that bash on me in public view and I still give them the proper credit.....so....I'm....over....all....of....it I'm not going to blow the whole evervolv team so thanks is enough and all I needed considering my rom ran a million times better then others (on my phone at least) so have fun deciding who needs to rent a advertisment plane displaying thanks in every big city across the country

And I like that title in Gen disc plz stop detailing Dev threads....well maybe if you went by your own words...I'm not the one that sat trolling others thread..I'm not the one that stormed others thread...im not the one abandoning users..im not the one stealing MONEY because i payed for a service..and I'm not the one who told mods to close threads

rom building is for enjoyment of our devices not seeing who can turn the dagger harder and deeper..nor who can piss further.....just my .02

[EVO 4G General] DB13:
Idk about you guys but I would love to see an ICS Sentation port, just my future thought since this thread is out of hand
[EVO 4G General] SupremeRadicals:
This^ So this, thats such a great idea.
[EVO 4G General] OneoftheRabble:
Very true. But some of the devs want to be "the latest" as it were. So they seem to gravitate away from some models and toward the newest stuff.

Also, could some of it be that some have reached their "end point" where they think that there is nothing new to squeeze out of the model? Are some of the devs at that point?

Just curious about that not being a dev myself.

See ya'

Post 37 and Post 45 are the most informative and most sensible, respectively, things I've read on this forum all day. Too bad they are lost in this farce of a thread.

For some reason, this issue made me break my silence and make my first post.
[EVO 4G General] Philyteach:
You didnt miss anything worth reading. There have been a lot of recent posts that most sane mature people probably wish they never posted.

Hopefully people will come to their senses shortly.
[EVO 4G General] :
In relation to the OP's post, there are definitely other online resources out there to gain information for different ICS roms. It's just a shame XDA isn't the one-stop-shop as it used to be.

No one can blame the dev's who left. Whether you believe in their decision or not, they had a valid reason to leave, and they feel very strongly about it.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Amazing thread and I love the actual discussion in here.I haven't tried any ICS ROM yet, but I've been following them. Specifically JTG's.

Bottom line is that all of this us supposed to be open source, and I think along the way, that got lost on a lot of people.

[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Are these companies still working on a windows phone device or what? I was looking at the padphone by Asus and was thinking to myself on how awesome that would be if that ran on WP8. Havent heard much about the Acer and Asus devices and others that were planning on producing windows phone devices. Even Dell hasnt spoken on their successor to the Venue Pro. I actually think Dell has learned some things and their next device wont have as many flaws as the Venue Pro did. I still love my Venue Pro and cant wait to see what others have to offer seeing what Nokia has brought to the table.

[Desire HD General] warfexion:
Ok I had a question about the beats function in the sense 3.5 roms. In my opinion if you play around with power amp you can get settings that sound 10x better than the beats option in the stock HTC music player. I am also using Beats Solo HD my question is this because power amp is generally better or does the rezound or Sensation just have better audio drivers than are Desire HD because I didn't notice an improvement.

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] alextheg:
More than likely its a combination of hardware and driver improvements. Thats my guess anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JeremyLeroy96:
I am new to samsung devices, I come from HTC.

Basically my question is, what determines the recovery of the phone? On HTC, the recovery was separate from the ROM and kernel. On samsung, from what I am reading it appears it is dependent on the kernel.

Does this mean if you brick your ROM you have no recovery to fix it (nandroid or whatever). If so, then what do you do in that situation?

Probably a newbie question, but I just want it cleared up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
As i understand it yes it's tied into the kernel and no if you screw something up you'll always have recovery you can 3 button press to get to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Recovery is in the kernel, but we have a way to flash anything to the device even if the kernel is hosed - download mode (aka Odin mode). It's tough to completely brick a Samsung as long as you don't kill the bootloaders (don't flash anything with boot.bin or Sbl.bin, and don't flash anything designed for another device unless you've received specific directions from a developer here that it's OK - right now this means you can flash I9100 firmwares ONLY if you follow the directions for Hellraiser.)

Hi all, probably missing something really nooby here, but just can't seem to get it to work.

Im using an Omnia 7 which is WindowBreak unlocked running the latest firmware (without the KK2)

I've got the registry editor and advanced config. installed

I've made loads of themes using the thing, but tried the change "new SMS" to the Xbox Achievements noise - when I hit okay after selecting it it vibrates for a few seconds then I'm back at the normal Settings - System menu.

Any ideas on why I can't do it?

[Q] Battery not charging, Shows "?" mark instead of "lightening bolt" in batt icon

Hi there friends,

I'm facing problem in my ZTE Blade/Dell XCD35 with the battery. Its about a month old and I flashed CM7.1.0 and It was working fine. But. today when I tried to charge it by using charger, it would show the "lightening Bolt" type sign within the battery icon for a moment and then there is this tiny "?" (Question Mark) sign within the battery icon and the lockscreen displays the message "battery low, Plugin your charger" even when it is already plugged in.

Hope you are getting what i am saying here and have a solution for me, I already tried wiping Cache, Dalvik cache, Battery stats and even did a Factory reset/full data wipe of the phone.

Battery is already low, so i need the Urgent help if possible.

Thanks a lot in advance.:p:)

[EDIT] Resolved thanks for being neutral, moderator may close or do whatever to the thread :) thanks

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derdev:
Hi,

I am working on un-bricking my Optimus One (P500) via JTAG, and I need some additional information.

Here is what I did so far:

- created an LPT to JTAG adapter, called the wiggler

- soldered wires to the JTAG pins on the phone's board as shown here

- downloaded openOCD 0.5 and used this configuration file for the wiggler adapter

- started the giveio driver that is in the drivers/ directory of openOCD

- ran the command "openocd --f wiggler.config.file.cfg" and got the following output:

- ran "telnet localhost 4444" and tried issuing debugging commands via jtag

In general I was following the steps described in this wiki. What I saw is that they have certain binary files for their phone which I wasn't able to find for Optimus:

- the IPL and SPL bootolader image files (hboot.img)

- radio image files (radio.img)

- full recovery images

Does anyone know where can we get the same files for Optimus phones? I imagine they can be read off a working phone. Anyone knows how to do this?

Additionally, was anyone able to configure openOCD to work with the MSM7227 chip in this phone? I can't seem to get it to detect the ARM cpu inside it.

Finally, here are some photos of my LPT <-> wiggler <-> JTAG setup.

Suggestions, help, pats on the back appreciated.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curious_one:
Nice! I haven't seen much in the way of hardware work on our phones. I'd be interested in any progress that you make on this. I wish that I could offer more than the pat on the back, but my experience with JTAG is minimal. In any case, good luck!

some updates

In this message I will try to summarize what we have so far...

[1]

myk777 was able to establish an LTP <-> JTAG connection via the wiggler. Here are the connections he made:

i.imgur.com/vUdUV.jpg

[2]

He also identified the to be ARM1136 with the tap ID 0x203c00e1.

OpenOCD 5.0 contains the configuration file for ARM1136 in the following location:

openocd-0.5.0/target/imx31.cfg

The full documentation for ARM1136 is available here:

google DDI0211K_arm1136_r1p5_trm.pdf

What remains to be done:

A. Configure openocd to use the wiggler and the imx31 to target the ARM1136 chip

B. Try to execute the initial bootloader code (using openocd debugger)

C. Find the binary dumps of the bootloader code for this phone, and try to rewrite it

For A I have the following suggestion:

- set the CPUTAPID=0x203c00e1

- launch openocd with something like this:

openocd -f wiggler.config.file.cfg -f target/imx31.cfg

Hi guys!

This thread is the closest to my problem with Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 model. I was on forum with this phone but there I couldn't find any "deeper" thread (most of them ends with "use RiffBox").

So, I have built Clone Wiggler, solder down wires to the JTAG pads and establish connection with bricked phone. Here is what I got from the OpenOCD after start:

Warn : Adapter driver 'parport' did not declare which transports it allows; assuming legacy JTAG-only
Info : only one transport option; autoselect 'jtag'

Here is OpenOCD config file:

#set _ENDIAN little

jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0xf -expected-id $_CPUTAPID

And output from "jtag init" and "scan_chain" after telnet localhost 4444:

telnet localhost 4444

> jtag init
JTAG tap: MSM7227.cpu tap/device found: 0x203c10e1 (mfg: 0x070, part: 0x03c1, ver: 0x2)

S5570 has MSM7227 Qualcomm chip and 4Gb OneNand KAT007012C - BRTT flash. I'm aware that there is no luck with OneNAND and OpenOCD, but I still have the hope and strong will ;)

My OpenOCD version is latest 0.6.1

Hi all

I have had my sensation since xmas and its been brilliant. Yeesterday though it did something weird. When i tried to connect to internet it just would not connect, i tired for about 30 mins and although the H symbol was on and both arrows were lighting up it just would not connect.

So i pulled the top menu down and turned off the mobile network off and then back on again it suddenly worked, all was sorted and i put it down to a glitch...but then today..

Same thing...it suddenly hung and again i had full network strength, and again the H and up and down arrows were Flashing away but this time i left it for an hour and still no joy, again i turned mobile network settings off and on again and again it burst into life and worked great ever since.

My Wife is on the same network as me and i checked her phone throughout the period mine was down and hers was fine!

Anyone any ideas??

Thanks

Did you flash clockworkmod through Acmeinstaller? That's where it initially needs to be flashed. If you did and it's still not showing it may be because your boot partition doesn't have enough space.
