This is ****ed up. Op hand the nexus to whoever won it first.

I vote indie I guess
[General Topics] :
And this is the problem. You voted for the person that did not win it first despite saying to give it to the person that did?

Indie was not hard done by, quarx won the competition fair and square. I don't think that anyone has argued that that is not the case.

Of course indie will win the vote - the community wants to reward a developer, and that the level of support he has among the large Samsung community will far outweigh the number of people who will be bothered to vote the principle of sticking to the rules as stated at the beginning.

Congratulations indie.

Can we stop posting here?

Just vote on the poll as admin/op asked..

Remember folks.. admin/op gave a fair warning that he doesn't like arguments.. so please lets keep our opinions to ourselves and try to vote in poll? Unless someone getting banned for this..

"Voting is on poll"

Not in posts... so stop posting and get on browser and start voting..

I have voted.. just don't say anything more on topic which will only cause unintentional rift between people.. which this contest was not made for..

We were given an opportunity to appreciate our dev & lets rejoice at that.. please stop posting about voting... just vote on poll of this thread..

Hahaha I haven't read everything I just saw everyone voting for him :P

Ignore that part. Sorry about that.

But OP give it to the person who won it first. Would you like it if you won a million dollars then the supplier says ",naw I'll give it to this other guy"

And for rewarding a developer, I could care less if indie is a developer he doesn't deserve it in this contest. People just want to give it to him so he can develop on it.

[General Topics] Maplobats:
I voted for indie this second time (and the first) because I think he deserves a win, and the community spirit in omega threads is second to none. Unfortunately this second time I voted before I fully understood what was going on, and while I think indie is a great dev and deserves some reward, I am

strongly opposed to changing the rules after the fact

...just doesn't seem right to me.

As a second note, it would have been nice to have clear concise guidelines for how the winner was picked originally, rather than number of votes and thanks will contribute, plus a vague description of other factors that will be considered....I think that could avoid the situation we are now in.

And finally, a big thanks to all developers who contribute to our community, there are so many of them-- and our devices wouldn't be as great as they are without them. If I had a motorola, I am sure I would have voted for and be defending Quarx, who also seems to have built a great community spirit as well as doing great dev work.

[General Topics] Unexist6969:
No offence but indie's rom seems more like a kang compared to quarx, not that kangs are bad, allot of users like them.

I never heard of quarx but I see he did allot of original work there, which in my point of view not many devs can do that... And is allot more work & understanding than a rom kitchen

I voted for entropy512 btw

[General Topics] Mattix724:
"Hey guys we have selected a winner for the contest, but wait... We've decided to change the rules and put the decision in the hands of the community so the original winner, regardless of deserving being the original winner, will now have to get votes from the community in order to be the new winner"

In example... "On tonight's Ink Master, artist #1 won the competition based on skill and overall work throughout the competition, but we're going to let the viewers decide who gets the $100,000 and title of Ink Master even though we already selected a winner."

That has to be the stupidest thing I have ever read in all of the history of XDA. It actually defeats the purpose of why we are all here.

Instead of giving tablet #2 to a member who voted for a nominee, how about the original winner gets his/her prize for the work that he/she has given to the community regardless of followers/fans. And the winner of the popular vote gets the 2nd tablet for being the popular vote.

Makes more sense to me...
[General Topics] zige:
Indie is the Man!!

My vote definetly goes to Indie too! He deserve win!
[General Topics] willverduzco:
Someone clearly didn't read my post! Given the surprising reaction to the initial winner announcement, I offered a chance for voters to change the rules (if popular vote allowed) to have the original winning developer (quarx) receive a tablet, along with the second place developer (indie). Indie's prize would be in place of the nominator of the first place developer. The original winning developer (quarx) will receive his tablet. I already have his address and am waiting for the community to decide whether a rule change is warranted to allow indie to win the second.

As I clearly stated earlier, the chance to change the rules is solely in your (the voters') hands. And apparently, thus far, the majority indeed wants to have the two winners be the original developer winner (quarx) and the second place developer (indie).

Even though people are habitually missing the point, I am leaving this thread open, but I hope that more people will actually vote and express whether they actually want the rules modified or not. There are still roughly 45.5 hours left in the contest, and if popular vote wants the original two winners (Quarx and his nominator) to win, they will. If, however, they prefer for the two leading developers (Quarx and Indie) to win, they will.

Again, decide by voting, but don't be bitter that others don't agree with your viewpoint.
[General Topics] Mattix724:
Maybe I didn't quite understand what was going on. Give it to the two developers... They deserve it more than a simple user that was able to give a great speech about why a certain developer deserves to win.

Indie had the most thanks, but quarx has done more in Development way.

So yes XDA was right to choose him to win, and so the person who had the winning post with the likes had to recieve the other Nexus!!!

If you only look at the Thanks, yes Indie should have won, if you look at the Rules, Quarx won.

Bit sad to change it afterwards because the community cries....

humberos - the Brazilian SGT7 salvation

I would like to thank @humberos - THANK YOU AGAIN Humberto!

Without him latin variations of the Galaxy Tab 7 (P1000N and P1000L - p1n / p1l) would not have any ROM option besides stock ROMs, stuck at Android 2.3.6.

It's been 18 months of learning and fun... when I was first able to flash Overcome, thanks to his tips.. and then his Stock Based HumberOS GB ROM.

Soon after that I discovered what CyanogenMod is all about.. and was delighted to try CM7 and BOCA, thanks to the p1n and p1l kernels that Humberto compiled for us. These tabs can't run the regular P1000 (p1) kernel, but thanks to him we have that option since Froyo.

Needless to say we had a pretty fast CM9 development, and always trying for better kernels, OC, UV, GPU OC, Touchscreen OC, USB FastCharge, better battery usage, tweaks in CM for all kinds of fun things... it's been amazing.

Now we are happy in CM10 and finally my Galaxy Tab 7 actually works like a Tablet (except for that damn phone app :p) and we are already looking at CM10.1 on the way.

Thanks everyone! Thanks CyanogenMod team, cdesai, sbradymobile, jt (always forget the number), Technomancer, diz and everybody that contributes. Thank you Adam Outler!

Cheers from Brazil!

[UPDATE 201201123] @humberos and @sbradymobile just figured out how fix GPS Photo Geotagging in CM10, cause part was missing and part bugged. Now I can submit portals to #Ingress! These guys are awesome!
[General Topics] skeevydude:
I think the most deserving developer is Quarx from the Defy Forums. He's done many things for us over the past few years, from CM7\9\10 on multiple devices (Bravo, Defy, RAZR, Allwinner A10), he updates his repositories on an almost daily basis, helps us Kangers out when we need it, and is very dedicated to making our devices run as best as possible. A lot of his work is the base for many roms and ports for many devices including Milestone2, Cliq2, Bravo, and possibly any Motorola phone with an omap3 board similar to the Defy (a lot of phones). I'm one of the guys that uses his hard work as a base to start with, & if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have learned as much about Android as I have in the past year. While there are a lot of deserving developers on XDA for this prize; Quarx's dedication, knowledge, and skill will be a great asset to the Nexux 7 development community.

Entry

Hello,

First of all, thank you for hosting this competition, really appreciate the spirit behind it!

Now, the developer I would like to thank is Quarx.

This developer works on the phone Motorola Defy. Why would I like to thank him?

The 1st the for most reason for thanking is coz of the time he dedicated for us. You would ask a question,"so what? Other devs too dedicate time and money in this, why not them?"

The answer for this, he worked a model that was already considered DEAD. Yes, people didnt have hopes of it seeing light of future Android updates.

This is where the great Quarx, showed us a light and gave us hopes. Why do I think he is the greatest developer?

-He worked on Motorola Defy. A device which had locked bootloader, updates after 2.2.2 was closed, no tool to unlock the bootloader and run custom kernels, no support from Motorola whatsoever.

-He was the guy who showed the world that even Defy can be a part of Official CM dev.

-Official CM7 rc1 was released coz of him.

-He booted JellyBean on Defy even before the CM team started working on it.

-His development lead to perfectly booting of the 1st custom kernel with working Radio

-He is making great progress in the custom kernel dept of Defy.

-His build is 90% stable and working flawlessly which is now used as a daily driver.

-He released a 4.2 nandroid backup too. 1st by any developer.

-He is just 21.

I think he is the most talented developer I have come across.

Thank you.

I would like to thank DooMLoRD, for his contributions for the Xperia Play, Specifically the r800x (Verizon). If he didn't develop for the Xperia Play, I probrably would've already sold my phone. He has made his DooMKernel which can overclock the r800x's processor making my phone go to 1.3 ghz so I can enjoy all the games I want. He also developed modules to fix many roms like his Wifi modules for the "UK firmware on r800x" ROM.

I would like to thank Chad and his work on the evo 3d, even though he does not put his work on xda anymore. He has had his fair share of troubles with xda and has gotten into quite a bit of drama, but the man is still improving his work constantly despite all the drama. This guy is a freakin wizard with android, he is always the first to get things working like 4g or camera, he can always make room to squeeze more power out of android. He claims he doesnt even know java either, which is quite remarkable. anyway, ive been following his work ever since i got my evo 3d in july of 2011, and this guy has been through it all. The community has been so thankful for his work that many people got together and started a fund to buy him a new phone to develop for, just so he can perform some of his wizardry on it. My e3d never felt so good with his works, so thank you

[General Topics] eagleeyetom:
It all began almost two years ago, when I bought my first Android phone. I thought I know a lot about mobiles and some modding stuff, but then I decided to visit XDA as it was the biggest site around. So I came here and saw that my Xperia can have something more than only bloated, slow 2.1 Android, which runs like slug (I apologize all slugs on this site) ;) So I started to dig deeper. Froyo, Gingerbread - sounds like a candy shop, not some serious operating system. I rooted my phone after lurking for some time to get answers to my n00b questions.

My confusion ended when I met a guy named doixanh. He created FroyoBread - something between Froyo and Gingerbread, which was the most stable and ROM I used. When he made GingerDX and gave us working camera, he instantly became my idol and I always wanted to meet him. My geeky dream came true. But lemme finish my story.

One day doixanh said to the world, that he has a daughter. Whole community was happy and wished him and his family all the best. But one day doixanh left the scene. I tried to play with Android this time to improve translations, you know - apktool and stuff :p Then I tried to build an Android from sources, I did a lot of reading but never succeed.

But B.Jay and I decided to give a shot and ask doixanh about taking over his work and you know what? He gave us permissions and the entertaining part has begun :laugh:

We were trying to set up the build environment as I knew something about building and B.Jay was a Linux master.

We had a lot of difficulties, but sorted them all with doixanh's help.

Since then we were using IRC as our main chat place, and we met a guy there who spent lots of time with us. And one day, he said to us that he's doixanh. We were shocked!!!

He's now my friend and I talk to him every day. Meanwhile I became a moderator of this beautiful board and successfully launched 7 versions of GingerDX. So I can say I became a dev. All thanks to him.

Thank you, my great friend and mentor - doixanh.

AOSP is my favorite developer without a doubt. http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2838735

Back when I used my HTC Hero he made stock ROMs for Froyo and Gingerbread. His ROMs were even faster than CM7 and really made my old Hero feel new. He not only made stock ROMs for the Hero but for the Optimus V. Even when I moved on to the NS4G he had a stock ICS ROM called OICS. He is definitely an amazing developer and even if my story doesn't win I still think he deserves a Nexus 7 even if he doesn't have one. I'm not sure what phone he has now but I guess he is helping devs for the Samsung Hercules. Anyway to sum it up he is an amazing developer and I thank him for the great ROMs I had on the Hero and Nexus S. Please send him a Nexus 7.
