Jin did not handle it badly until the end. Yes, he was a fool to say "I will keep kanging and distribute through other methods" to the mods. For that he did deserve to get banned. However, reviewers and reactive were acting like children publicly long before he did (I have no idea what happened in private between you 3 obviously).

I want him back though! Why? Because I am using his IceBlaze 4.5, and it is hands down THE BEST rom I have ever used on this phone. I want IceBlaze 4.6 and I want him to keep working on future versions. I am a developer at about his level (not a real dev, but can grab the best **** out there and stick it in one nice little package for release). Problem is, I don't have the time for it, so it is so awesome that he appeared and made something awesome for my phone that I would never get around to doing myself. ...and so ****ty that he is now gone because some dude "higher-up" has a god complex and thinks it is even possible to copywrite a script. :P

I have tried BasicGinger 3.8, 3.7, 4.1 and the unreleased 4.2 hosted on the same site as 4.1. None of them worked for calling a number. Process phone would FC and drop my call. I mentioned this multiple times, but they were all too busy arguing like school kids to help me out.

I have not tried Hewett's rom because to me all the top icons are ugly.

I tried all rev's ROMs months ago too, but none of them were as stable, pretty, and fast as GOv2.

So my options are:

1) Go back to GOv2.

2) Stick with IceBlaze 4.1 (fastest, most-stable, fully working ROM)

3) Try to get IceBlaze 4.2 (YES! Please unban Jin, at least long enough that I can give him my email :P)

If Reviewers / ReActive think I don't deserve to test his IceBlaze because he stole if from them (with giving credits mind you!), then where the heck does that leave me, the user?

My turn on the playground:

F*** Y** guys! Anything I can put on my phone, anything I can put on my computer, anything I can see or hear... I can save, modify, and re-distribute it to anyone and everyone on earth. That is my GOD GIVEN RIGHT!!! No RIAA, MPAA, US-DOJ, or XDA will ever convince me otherwise. Yes, I am a coder/developer by profession, and yes I DO NOT believe in copywrite, patents, or IP (intellectual property is an oxymoron, you cannot own intellect!)

Damn good point. I thanked him for doing it at the time.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
XDA's policy with regard to use and attribution seems simple on its surface, but the truth is it's a murky issue.

Reviewers had accepted JiN's cooperation on GenericGinger, so it seems to me JiN had both implicit and explicit permission to use the contents of the ROM.

ReActiveDisorder apparently offered his scripts for inclusion to the ROM. Perhaps he put clear limits on further use of the scripts at that time, perhaps not. As far as I can tell any such restriction was not made clear publicly, at first.

As a publicly acknowledged maintainer of GenericGinger, JiN felt justified in re-using the contents of the ROM as a base, complying with Reviewers' explicitly announced terms. ReActiveDisorder felt he had not given permission for this use, even though he had contributed his scripts to a ROM already made free by its initial poster. Here I think ReActive erred -- if he wanted to keep his scripts closed, he shouldn't have contributed them to a ROM already made free.

ReActiveDisorder then made horrid ugly noises, then JiN made horrid ugly noises, then the moderator appeared and took a side. JiN mouthed off in response to the moderator, got banned, worked around it, and here we are.

It's the anatomy of a bad call. JiN is out because he failed to respect conantroutman's verdict, and yes, subsequently reacted badly. And no, conantroutman, I don't think anyone seriously thinks a moderator's decisions would be influenced by member opinions now that it has all played out. But that doesn't mean it was a good call on the initial merits.

ReActiveDisorder, you should know that while you can copyright the exact contents of your scripts, you can't copyright a series of settings made against someone else's API. Anyone could simply look at what you did and re-implement more or less the same result, without infringing on your copyright. And the prospect of obtaining a software patent on a series of Android kernel and userland settings is absurd on its face.

And who among us has obtained personal permission from, or even given credit to, all the thousands of contributors to the Linux kernel, the AOSP project, any of the constituent software (sqlite, busybox, Samsung engineers, the list goes on) in the course of releasing a ROM? So the credit and permission rule is applied either arbitrarily, or selectively.

Personally, I think all sides of the dispute acted badly, and JiN got the axe because he sassed a moderator. Way to go, guys.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
All I know is, his ROM works faster then GOv2 with more free memory. I sincerely hope you can do better if what you say is correct, so I look forward to seeing that. Shame we are left hanging in the mean time when a "dumb kid" was willing and able to give us IceBlaze NOW.

All I know is, your older roms were slower and less stable then GOv2. GenericGinger was just as awesomely fast as IceBlaze, but it could not dial a phone number!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] conantroutman:
I think that everyone has now had ample chance to say their piece.

For what it's worth, I can assure you that Jin was not banned for "sassing a moderator", that's not how i do things. Ask the guy who sent me a rather charming PM the other day which simply said "**** you", he's still around here somewhere. Although jin's refusal to comply with the forum rules did play a part in it.

Ultimately though this thread was started with an assumption of knowing all the facts of the situation and that is simply not the case.

As I said before, the only person to blame for Jin being banned is himself, this situation could have been very easily resolved but unfortunately the long and tedious option was chosen.

As I also said before, we will not consider a petition for the unbanning of a member, the option to appeal the ban is available to Jin and anybody else who feels that I have acted inappropriately may contact a member of the moderator committee (link in my sig) if they wish to make a formal complaint.

On that note, thread closed.

I think its all pretty much cause I'm INT and I'm sure this is a USA rom.

Any ideas anyone ? Im kind of a n00b still. Ive been on here for hours flashing rome and rebuilding zip's making new ones. I have no real clue what I'm doing, just what I've figured out loading rom's on my other devices.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ngambek2003:
Just thought I'd share this.

After upgrading my Note to ICS LPY, I could no longer upload to Picasa from the Gallery app. It kept saying "Failed to retrieve account details".

I discovered that there was an issue with my Facebook account having the same username as my Google account. Both of them were <username>@gmail.com

Then I realized that I can actually login to Facebook using <username>@facebook.com. So I tried using this username from the Facebook app on the Note. It worked. It solved my Picasa upload problem.

Hope this will help some poeple.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Masterful1:
It is not just the Facebook accounts that cause this issue, my Dropbox account is also causing this problem, unfortunately there is not a way of logging in to dropbox other than by email address. Anyone have an idea for a workaround?

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

I thought of an old Gmail trick that worked, I went into dropbox.com and changed my associated email address from "email@gmail.com" to "email+dropbox@gmail.com" dropbox.com accepted it as a valid email address, which it is, and when I set the dropbox account up on my phone it is no longer named the same as my gmail account so picasa uploading works through the gallery again. Not ideal, and certainly a big bug that needs fixing, but this should work for the time being and I don't have to open up a new gmail account just so I can have dropbox linked to my phone.

I'm very new to Android roms and kernels and all those things so I got myself into a horrid situation.

I am trying to load Team PKMN's ROM but, a few seconds after the rom boots, my Rezound just decides to stop working and reboot. This happens everytime, more so when I try to adjust the volume or use the Dialer.

From what I've read, this may have something to do with the kernel...?

If you are on ICS firmware but S-on you need to extract the boot.img from the Rom.zip and flash in fastboot because the rom was packaged for S-off users to flash.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seanc85:
I am going to be moving from Sprint to AT&T in the near future and the One X is one of the phones I am strongly considering.

One of the significant concerns i have with this phone is the lack of a dedicated capacitive button for search. I currently use an HTC Evo 4G (and am still quite happy with it) and use the search button frequently both to access search and to access my lock screen (widget locker) via long press.

Does anyone have any insight on how to obtain similar functionality on the One X? Are there other current phones that might be better options? So far i have looked at the One X, the HTC Vivid, the Galaxy Note, and the Galaxy S II Skyrocket.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seanc85:
**update

I went to the at&t store today to check out all four phones. Both the Samsungs are out (don't like the display) but I'm still torn between the one x and the vivid. The vivid is very similar to the evo i use currently but is older and didn't seen to have a ton of development. The one x on the other hand has the issue of the missing menu and search buttons which even after a short use seems significant.

Can anyone offer insight on how big of an adjustment the missing buttons was and what they have done to adjust?

Thanks

There will be hassle and time, but the end result should be about the same. They have to get the device from you, forward to Samsung Europe, and do the same process back to you after the fix.
