[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AndreiLux:
Please write Italian, I can make more sense of it than your English. Anyway I'm really not in the greatest mood since yesterday and the black crush fix, due to the unbelievable simplicity of the fix, and a certain person (Supercurio) sitting on this fix for months and not releasing it out of pure selfishness and egotism. This post will insult a lot of people and I honestly don't give a crap anymore.

Offering a service brings with it the promise of the service actually being worth something. Too many so called developers here on XDA are publishing things worth literal ****. There is the argument that this is a forum where developers can learn to achieve something and are "progressing" towards more higher level of sophistication for their work. This argument is valid if you bring along with it the humility needed if you are in such a position.

There's dozens and hundreds of people out there over-selling their work, SuperCharger script written by a script kiddy with probably the age corresponding his attitude. Useless developers like knzo releasing and false-advertising kernels which don't do ****. Eugene376 or whatever the number, releasing his monumental bullshít lie of CPUSleeper and even asking money for it. We still have people in the ROM forum asking about it and installing it, and even fricking developers including this crap into their ROMs. francisco, simone (Just to take from this forum) with their laughable commits without full understanding what some of those commits encompass. Phenomenal was still a respectable kernel on the S2, because phenomeno was only starting with his development at the time and was humble about it, but now on the S3 it reeks of false promises and excentric hyperbole in the current thread description. I have no respect for such people, and if any of you mentioned here are offended by it, live with it. It is a technical criticism of their products in the technical aspect of what XDA is supposed to be (In my view, but it seems that's declining).

Am I angry at stupid users falling for snake oil and basically a distorted view of reality, and falling into the, as Gökhan likes to say, iPhone brand royality kind of idiocy? Of course that I am. I'm wasting hours upon hours going through source code to understand what is going on, and then comes people like franco which develops on 10 devices and none of the end product is worth a damn, releases something basically two degrees different than what a stock kernel is, and people are flocking just because of the brand name and believe in some superior magic happening in it. Tell you what, that's not the case.

The only two persons developing here which a worth a damn in my view, aside from the CM team, are Gökhan and harunjo. The former whose C skills and knowledge are simply beyond 99% of developers here on XDA, including myself, and still has the incredible humility even now, after having the most successful single "product" out here on XDA. The latter because in a few weeks he went from nothing, to actually having more of a clue than some other developers around here. and maybe hardcore, whose work still eludes me to this day, but his "don't give a crap about nonsense" attitude is admirable. The difference is there, in the attitude.

So I hope you see and understand where the problem is, because it affects the whole ecosystem and developer community if somebody releases crap or false promises. I've been indifferent and quiet it about it for quite some time now, but some bullshít needs to be called for what it is, bullshít.
