Just stay with us: you're the best!!

Hello Master DSA,

There are maybe lots of "AOSP" like roms available, there could be even more, we just don't care as here, in this forum, the only AOSP one we care and wanna use is the genuine Codec one...your Rom mate!!

And if, as you said, in some place, some are merely copies (or part of) from your work..means for me victory!! It means that your work and talent is recognized more that you think, and that devs from those roms need your work to deliver there own one. You can compare that to what happened in the car history.. Mercedes (Benz) was one of the first brand to deliver cars, then lots of other manufacturers partly copy them and now we have dozen of brands available (good - medium or bad ones)... but Mercedes is still there..and recognized as one of the best...so should be the same for your Roms mate, and it's why you should stay with us and keep on delivering your excellent work.

Today I was surfing on one thread compiling all the S3 Roms/kernels and themes available on XDA (Siberian Tiger thread), there was a guy who apparently received his S3 for Christmas and was asking for a good Rom, but different from stock..that was texto the answer he got from the thread OP

"You can flash Codec rom black edition.

Really good choice from a very unique dev.

Is something different from stock"

I don't think I need to add some words to that..just hope you'll stay with us Master DSA, finger crossed;)

Cheers

Suggestion for AROMA:

Some users (like me) want the stock vertimus theme of jb domination/

Can you add to aroma to choose between your Dark mod of this theme and the stock one as vertimus published this?

Just a suggestion :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ghostofcain:
DSA has already said No, and explained his reasoning. If your dead set on vertimus I suggest you look elsewhere for one of the plethora of look a like roms out there.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
DSA, I can understand why you feel the way you do currently, but don't stop because of that. You serve much more than just an aosp themed rom. Your brand stands for stability and smoothness. You are also not just theming, you include framework parts as well. You're Rom is simply what you promise it to be, the best of both worlds combined into one Rom. Don't care about jkay, he as well offers something special, but the big difference is, you do it for pleasure, he for money and your reason weights much more.

Also what does he offer what you aren't serving already, sure a second toggles row is nice, but what for if the single line has all in it what's needed, quick launch, also nice, but that's what the homescreen is for and for my opinion it doesn't matter if I push the home button once or pull down the statusbar to get access to my favorite apps. Lockscreen, you already serve the aosp lockscreen, why should we downgrade to the gb lockscreen style. 4 way reboot already serves what the menu is for, why the hell someone needs e.g. a wifi toggle there,...

You see, jkay is here yes and sure it is nice, but you serve even without it what is needed (at least four my opinion), if you want to include it, go ahead, welcome addition, if not, who cares, but don't stop developing on this great project because of it. Except of one reason, if you don't enjoy working on this Rom anymore (no matter what the reason is [ah k except of the copies floating around of your work, it should be an honor for you, that way you even reach more people with your work and think about, it's still your work what makes the users happy ;)]) close this thread immediately, I would be sad about it, but it makes no sense to push it further if you don't enjoy it :)

Sry about the OT and the huge post^^

Edit: just to clear it up, it sure is annoying when people take your work without permission or even put there label onto it (and there is no excuse for those doing it), but that's unfortunately how it goes, if you serve solid work, people will copy it to get a piece of the cake, the better your work is the more will copy it, it's sad, but it is like it is.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] intrudar:
Again...!! When I'll have the like button along thanks!!??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
Never, because this forum in most common servers Google software, so if there will ever be something like this it more likely will be a +1 button^^

I, for one, will not be including JKay in my ROM. There's a paywall behind all the best features.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rowlers:
I have JKay, bought purely to see what the fuss was about. And yes there is a lot of extra settings to play with but after the initial novelty, I'm not using it. His lockscreen is nice, but we can get it here and elsewhere. The other mods I'm not really using. I don't think CodecROM is being spoiled by Jkay & JB Domination - just more choice and customisation which is what Android is all about:good:;)

Keep it up DSA, we're still here!

:cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Agree with rowlers , negative for jkay or any other Christmas decorations on our ROM :thumbdown:

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah, it's JB Domination that got me into all this. I just wanted to make a ROM that already had it preinstalled... then I started getting requests!

I would be quite sad if DSA discontinued CodecROM :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] intrudar:
kryten you and dsa codecrom apart from you guys I don't see a Rom I mean a real deal like guys offer no body can do seriously!

Dsa if our appreciation and support doesn't bring you back to xda then I would say that those opponents or even those copy cats put some really strong spell on you... Which make us sad :(

Stay safe and healthy!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] buster041284:
i don't want Darkside to go aswel his rom's are always good but few people saying about other roms no good or not the real deal or doing it for money or donations not fair say all that the dev's still put time and help people just don't think its fair say about other peoples works on other threads
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rowlers:
Don't think anyone has said other ROMS and work are no good or poor, its just that DSA offers something that others don't. And its appreciated here.

I think kryton offers a similar feeling on his thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
I didn't say jkays work is poor or anything like this, I just pointed out that it is sure a nice addition, but not necessarily needed to make this Rom better, because there is no need, because it already serves all what it is intended to.

The money part, yes he sure puts time into his project, but that he wants to be paid for what he does is obvious, otherwise he would at least share a xda version of his settings apk like e.g. chainfire does it with all his apps and let those who want to contribute something take the paid version from the play store. But still it is also ok that way, but leaves a bit bitter taste compared to all those simply doing it no matter if they see money for it, but that's only my opinion.

Sry for OT once more, is my last one about this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
it depends on what people calls " better " ...

i think there are two big different categories among us :

1- the most stable, simple and efficient ROM`s fans

and

2- the most customizable and "original" ROM`s fans

due to this fact the conflict occurs and it will be like that forever ! it will be very easy for a user to decide which configuration to choose for his device only when the gap between those categories will be big enough.

the most important is to let and to "push" the devs to go with their projects as far as they can , to create an obvious difference.

i chosen my way and i`ll try to do my best to encourage the davs from first category .

i didn`t say , yet , which one is "better" from my p/w but i think is quite obvious :cool:

good luck DSA ! i know you`re doing the best you can to never disappoint !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
Responded at the q&a thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Ran out of thanks for the above posts....

Update then:

Okey, started on 10.1.1....

Removed some unless graphic mods from aroma now 23 toggles is in

Updated everything that's relevant

Added in a toggle for the aosp lockscreen to stop moaning

Added phone and browser shortcuts to the lock

If selecting yank555 kernel, hot reboot will be back as he has got it working (ramfs issue)

A couple of other things I can't remember when typing from my phone

No eta yet

Glad you're continuing!

Hey DSA,

I've been following the discussions on this thread with great interest. I guess its only obvious that when you're work gets copied so often you wonder if its still necessary to keep putting in the hours, if others are ultimately just going to leech of your results.

But I guess its the same in life as well. Somebody has to come up with an idea first and others can copy it and modify it in the way they see fit. But in the end the original maker is remembered, not the copycats. Besides you've a strong and dedicated following of your own, it makes no sense to look elsewhere when everything you need is here;).

Moreover the main reasons for doing something are in my opinion:

1. Doing what you love.

2. Getting appreciation/approval for it.

And with so many people liking your work I think both those factors are easily covered. It would have been illogical to stop! (DAMN, I so sound like Spock from Star Trek right now^^:P).

In short glad you're continuing. Just don't forget, we're here to stay and we'll stick by you till the end (unless someone suddenly dies, then I guess you won't mind him taking a break:P). I think I made my point ;)

Greetz,

Mad100

g`morning DSA !

rainy days in England ,here as well , the wives are working so ... let`s ...

well , i want to ask you something .

is any kind of adblock or adaway script inside of the rom `cause i`ve been trying to use my medscape app and all the time i get this message with the app blocked by adblock .

i used to use romtoolbox with that option inside but when uninstalled still the same .

on your aokp and other roms is working even though romtoolbox is installed and the adblock option is not activated

-=-=-

and i can post on your website now !!! :victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
I have updated the hosts file in /system/etc...you can replace that with a stock one if ya like fella

I'm in the UK...rain rain rain....

Glad the website is working
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
thanx ! i thought so , i will `cause only that app doesn`t work properly , is so delicate , doesn`t let me to log in ...

keep the same host files updated for the next version . if people will have problems like mine i know what to answer now :cool:

-=-=-

and give me a thanks , give me a thanks !!! i want to have the same like buster :D

-=-=-

oops ... buster has less ... i mixed up numbers ... 80 ... 90 ... seems equal for me now ... carlsberg ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bnbasarir:
You can use ROM Toolbox and use the add blocker to unlock the adds by simply uncheking all the options. It will change the hosts file to stock version. At least simple logic says so :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
happy new year to you ! ... i thought that cat ate your tongue ... i tried mate , logic enough but Medscape is smarter , it was , `cause has been fixed now after replacing the host file from the one of AOKP rom , a warning that i must uninstall the application ( romtoolbox or any other adblock app) and to rebuild the host file.

simple unchecking wont change the host file content ... i assume ... nu-i asa ?

i found that the v10.1 host file doesn`t work with Medscape
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bnbasarir:
Happy New Year bro. My tongue is still where it's supposed to be :D was busy testing out some beta versions of PA and Cm10.1 and kernel combinations as well as Android Tuner. I missed the stability of Codec and flashed it back as first ROM. Nothing can compare to DSA's work although I'm still trying to figure out rich notifications :banghead: Damn Samsung engineers missed the single finger part of the code.

I had similar issues with ad blocking. What I did was to extract hosts file from a standard ROM and keep it on sd, it might come handy. ROM Toolbox is cool but I've been testing Android Tuner, which seems to be more advanced for a root user.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
so , welcome back my friend !:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
so , most probably we`ll gonna eat this soon :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kevinarjun:
yup..but heard they have changed the bootloader...will it effect ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
"Affect " or "effect" ... ? I assume the first one :D ... so , I think not. Why should affect it ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kevinarjun:
effect :)...gone through the ELLA firmware post...so now i know :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
And what do you think ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rowlers:
if the latest bootloader is flashed it stops Triangle away working and you're unable to reset your flash count - AFAIK.

Also the new bootloader prevents flashing of previous bootloaders. I'd avoid flashing it at present until the super dooper devs on here find a way around it ;)

All the info so far is available on here - somewhere!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
so it`s better to wait then ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] buster041284:
Not really pal its stops the death bug iv just flashed the bootloader
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jejecule:
Hi guys,

Two weeks without flashing a new Codec version...and still alive:D

Let me time to test other Roms, very good ones, regulars and less ones but i'm already back on my Nandroid Codec Black on my pro phone, the most stable and reliable for me! Don't hurry to upgrade Master DSA, this 10.1 version is still the best on the market!

And as far as new bootloader is concerned, i personally think it is a big Samsung joke.."applelyzing" their devices taking advantage on our "sudden death" fear..and nowhere there is an evidence that it fixes the bug..but there are evidences that some of those who flashed it are in some troubles now. So personally again i would'nt go for it.

Good night all!

Cheers;)

Too crowded in here, too many aosp roms, too many fanboys

Im done, its been a nightmare all the way through

Unless you release an update every couple of days, people arent interested - thats not what rom building is about imo

I guess ultimarom is the one for you lot now, its based on my work anyway

See ya around the forums

Thanks to all the relevant people, you know who you are
