No. Your post was.

He's just pointed out this is one big "scam" as the two devices are actually identical.

He knows much more about this device than your beloved "developer" does. When he says only SBOOT and device branding differ, he speaks with authority.

I feel sorry for anyone fooled by this guy into giving him money to pay off his own ETF under the pretense of needing it to develop for the phone...

Please, if anything, I hope it wasn't an expensive lesson, especially at this time of year... But maybe next time, ask the difficult questions to avoid getting stung like this again? Take care guys, and be vigilant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jparasita:
Yea that is a **** head move to someone who is a pretty nice guy and just wants to make a nice rom for everyone and its not like anyone put a gun to anyones head saying donate or im gonna shoot you! Adam I love your work and respect it alot and I respect you but please be more civil if you have a problem why not talk to the dev himself instead of making yourself or anyone else look bad cause obviously anyone that has donated did it cause they like his work just like anyone who donated to you did it cause they like your work chill out man.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chefdave12118:
No you showed your true colors. A spoiled little brat that is angry because he has to share donations. Whhaaaa.... my wife is mad! STFU and get out of Xda if its causing you home problems.

BTW. Asking if you asked for permission was a joke. I guess someone with a 10 ft rod up their ass wouldn't have a sense of humor.

Goes to refill popcorn while anticipating the arrival of the Forum Mods to chime in, lock the thread, & clean it up..... **Where's Kanye when you need him**
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
You guys just got taken for a ride by this kid pretending to be a dev I'm afraid...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Ok, thanks for clarifying!

But on the same note... I said I am selling the AT&T variant which will leave me with one phone. Which the proceeds will go to pay the term fee with AT&T and the rest of the cost of this phone.

You should also clarify your earlier posts, because total amount donated was was not $700 it was $525.00.

Once again, I repsect your opion but also disagree.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firsttimer44:
That is your opinion. Nobody is forcing anybody to donate. Obviously people like his work and they are willing to pay for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
Next attack against a proper developer will be your last one... Please read the rules.

This is a developer site. You learn to put a sock in it before I have to clear this crap up and start removing fanbois who can't see past their own nose.

Just because your beloved didn't post it, doesn't mean it's not right
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
dont piss him off its not worth it.. pissing him off will eventually make it so that u cant have ANY roms on verizon devices in the future.. the only reason there is even roms is because of adam and thats the straight up truth, he doesnt have verizon nor doesnt plan on getting it HE DID WHAT HE DID TO HELP US OUT!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chefdave12118:
He just has his head up Adams ass. Makes him feel safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
This is now officially Awesome!

We need some "Your Momma jokes" now!

Everyone is just taking this way too serious... Its the internet guys! Let it go!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
Well... I was the one who wrote that rule I believe, many years ago. And it was specifically to stop people being taken for a ride like this.

Rules are here to protect users.

If you want a new phone, go try get funding on kick starter. See how likely it is you get your request approved there...

This nonsense of paying off ETF just shows he's here for a change in phone... If you wanted a VZW one, don't buy an ATT one on contract...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechBSwift:
All you acting like some bitc.............. i donated to the adam, beans, imnuts. Without adam we wouldnt have an ulocked bootloader. Beans gaves us root and imnuts gave us offical odin. They all have given us something special. Scoscler is just adding to it. He answer message non stop, always pushing updates, and has the most stable roms. How about we all put are dicks back in our pants and get along . Because we all know i got the biggest ****, as im a black guy.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
Congratulations. The first winner of a free, all expenses paid vacation... For a week...

Who's next?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ltbakken:
Donations are just that. No one was forced to do a thing. Scott has been the most helpful dev I have ever seen. Any one of his previously supported device has been maintained to the point of deserving much more than any community could donate.

No one was deceived. No one is being charged to run a rom. Scotts work is what was being donated towards. People need to stop acting like a something was stolen from them.

We are all fortunate to have this community. Everyone who donated to Scott did so under zero false pretenses. He has always been completely forthright and helpful and this is no different. I, for one, am glad to have the same device as Scott and look forward to anything he brings to the table.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
WTF is all this antagonism about??

People willingly donated to scrosler because they have run his ROMs on previous devices and loved them.

Nobody is being conned here. If you don't like his ROMs that's fine, go run somebodies elses, but why slam a guy who's always willing to help people??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
That made me LOL for real!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
OMFG, I laughed so hard when I read this.....

I'm just a crazy old white guy but one of my best buddies from H.S. Is black and he says sh!t like this all the time.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beaups:
Fight! (shamelessly stolen gif):
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jparasita:
OK guys sorry for convinceing him to get a vzw note 2 so he can give us a nice cleanrom and it was kind of my idea to help him raise the money for the phone I mean if there was a problem how come this was not addressed like 2 and a half days ago instead of now. Some people are kind of being 2 faced oh thanks for donating to me but your donating to him to? When you were a kid did you hog all the ice cream and cry when you had to share it? Get real guys!

Can this thread be locked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrwebb:
Welll all I know is Scrosler puts out top notch Roms...Can't believe people are treating a respected developer with highly rated Rom forums like trash...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
I'm here to do a job... I don't use one rom or another and frankly don't care what rom you choose to use.

The rules are clear about donations up front... This is donating upfront... And it's made even more mysterious since the user in question already had the same device... But wanted another one funded by users?

Someone has to be the one who ensures people act ethically and in accordance to the rules. And in this case, seems that needs to be me right now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ltbakken:
As these are donations, i dont believe anything negative can be said unless you actually donated. If any donators feel cheated, thats a different matter. However, based thread so far, and the speed at which the goal was met, I'd say its safe to say that that isnt the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
I believe it has come up now since it has emerged he already has the phone, and is just out to get another one at user expense...

That's not behaviour of a recognised or respected developer as you put it... And I'd hope he would see fit to do the right thing here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
It's a Godsend, again! Scott, you've done such amazing work for the VZW Galaxy S3. I'm very excited that you are hopping on the VZW Galaxy Note 2 train and very excited CleanROM will be available. Cheers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beaups:
It's already available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
Unfortunately he chose to use XDA as the place to have this "donation" drive carried out.

The purpose of XDA isn't to provide a space for each and every rom zipper to ask for money for phones... It's here as a developer site. I notice a trend where the hardware developers are often asked to come over to a new phone with a very locked down bootloader and help them get custom software onto it. Then they succeed and pass on the phone to someone else...

In this case, someone who already had the phone chose to ask for another one to be paid for... Is that morally right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
I did too, that almost made me poop my pants!

Its the internet man, Its the internet. Dont stress.

But yeah, this is all your fault ;)

Just kidding!

Indeed! Cheers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Could I dontate the AT&T Version to XDA to use as a give away?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dakota0206:
It is interesting that instead if closing a thread (which purpose has been completed) the mod actually continues to fuel the flame. Some mod. And I dont care about a ban, im not rooted or unlocked and dont plan to. I just try to help when and where I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
if this rule is fully put in place i hope it would have the exception of a few hardare developers like adam, and others that are actually needed to get the phone to even be able to be rom-able

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

not mod, ADMIN lol he can do whatever he see's fit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
It pretty much is already the case... Hardware developers who open up devices have no problems. But they have a track record of requesting broken devices (eg smashed screen), or of then doing something else with the phone like giving it out, or passing it to the next hardware dev, who further hacks it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] invisiblek:
if i make a thread, and promise to make stock roms for you guys, will you buy me one too?!

/me is on board with adam and pulser, this is just getting out of hand
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
Tbh I have no idea. I don't deal with that side of things... I don't quite understand why you're getting rid of a brand new ATT one to switch to VZW... But hey...

If that's what you wanted to do, your best person to talk to would be Adam, as I think he has done this in the past... He can put you in touch with Will if necessary, if that's what you wanted to do.

Given the bootloader is firmly opened now, I don't think there's much use in it getting passed on to a hardware developer right now? (correct me if I'm mistaken)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
Of course I will... In your dreams (does that's still count? :p)

Nah this is where it starts to get silly tbh... I know people think we're nasty and unreasonable, but unless we are firm on this. XDA will have zero ROMs and a thousand people saying they can improve the stock rom (honest mate) if they get bought a phone...

I always saw it as a system where after buying a phone, I go look for the forum and make some stuff... The rules are to stop each new device becoming 200+ threads copy pasted each begging for the phone...

Good to see people understand this. We're not being mean or nasty, we do actually know what we're doing as we've thought this through, and seen it all before... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Ok, well Adam is monitoring the thread. If wishes to reach out to me to discuss he certainly can do so. I dont know who Will is so...

You may not understand why I wanted to switch but you never asked. No one has actually asked me. Everyone has just made assumptions and assume the worse.

Someone offerd to make thread so I could come back to VZW and devote time to the specific needs of the VZW user base and I said sure. I had prior asked peartfan40 and he said it was legit. I also asked another mod when I saw a similiar thread in the SGS3 forum and was told it was legit.

Side note: The other person got the device and never even made a ROM. I totally get the need to protect users of XDA.

But man, I think the Admin and Mod staff need to sit down together and make sure everyone is on the same page. Im glad this little kerfuffle happened. Maybe it will shed light on the way differnt admin and mods handle things.

Eitherway...

Have a good evening!

-Scott
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
I don't like to close the a thread like that, as personally I think it just serves to annoy users, and let things flare up elsewhere. Closing a thread can work, but if we do that here, it will always leave that shadow of doubt hanging over...

I am not fanning flames, rather trying to help some people fixated in one mindset to recognise that this isn't something that can go on unfettered, and that really if it were allowed to, it would actually be a really bad thing.

I am told there have been several other such threads made just in the Note2 VZW forum in the last week or so... If this keeps up, you'll not have any development once "devs" realise that they can just beg for phones and get them from users willing to throw in money. And you get a catch 22 situation where you have locked bootloader, nobody unlocking it, as everyone is trying to promise custom ROMs, and the hardware developers are simply enjoying their other phones...

And then ultimately it's the users of the VZW phone in question who suffer...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
And to your point... I am not upset with you or any other person on here. I clearly stated everyone had a right to there view point.

Ive never asked the community to out and out buy me a phone before... and wont again, you can rest assured of that.

But this leads me back to the many other threads that still exist for donations... Why are they not being "handled' in this manner?

And I am not talkign about Outlers thread, I can PM you examples of where people DID rip off the copmmunity by having them buy a device and never even made a ROM.

Eitherway... I respect your view and even agree with it. At first I was even apprehensive to the idea... I think next time I will go with my apprehensions...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
My request would to be to ban all donation threads unless its a hardware developer that's hacking a bootloader or something of that nature... then that dev is required to donate the device.

Scrosler, I would just donate your att Note 2...eat that little bit of cost, you will make it up in donations most likely. oh and I don't blame you for wanting to be on verizons network, att blows!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
This.

The mods who have allowed a loophole by other people asking for donations before work rather than the dev itself have stirred up quite the hornet's nest (I too have been told its allowed). I hope they realize this and correct the error of their ways.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnafuPossum:
Alright, my HTC g2 finally went completely out earlier this week and I am looking at upgrading to the note 2. I am looking at a complete day to day replacement for all my things(pc, games, radio, head unit(appradio2)). I've been able to figure out everything on my bench build via research except one thing, my old disc media such as dvd's and cd's. Is there a way to use a usb adapter to plug in a external pc cd drive and have it work with the note 2? I know it excepts hard drives and flash drives shouldn't a disc drive be no different? Thanks in advance for any help on it matter!

please kindly help me
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morrislee:
This has been addressed many times. As far as the current most up-to-date user manual online has been revised to say it is not supported. We probably will not see USB OTG in the foreseeable future.

Optimus G does not look like it has USB OTG working yet either.

Don't bet your money on it

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VillainDivine:
Hey guys,

Ive been having problems with my mini usb port for some time now. Ive pretty much determined that it is a bad connection due to the massive amount of play in the port.

After doing some research online, ive found a few companies that sell the USB flex cable. My question is: Is the i9100 USB flex cable compatible with an ATT i777 phone?

Thanks in advance and if anyone has had prior experience with this, any tips or websites of where you bought yours would be greatly appreciated!!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ronnienyc:
The ability to make the font larger seems to have disappeared...

??

thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ronnienyc:
It looks like the answer to this is no.

The next question is does anyone know how to revert to a prior version of Gmail? One where you can adjust the font size?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Open Gmail and select settings then general settings. You have 2 options here, you can place a check mark in the "Auto-fit Messages" option and then use pinch to zoom to enlarge text. Or you can uncheck the box and then the text will be larger but you will have to scroll side to side sometimes.

Also, you can go into the main settings page, and under display, gestures and buttons and increase the font size there. But that will increase the fonts on your whole phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ronnienyc:
Thanks for the reply. The issue with the auto-fit/pinch zoom is that it does not automatically reflow the text, so you have to either scroll back and forth (!!) or double tap. THIS IS WAY LESS ELEGANT than simply enabling a larger default font size, and is a lot more work. *reminds me of a blackberrry, where you have to hit 10 buttons in order to be able to see a properly formatted html message. Not good.*

Overall it is clunky now. So the question is, why remove the functionally in the first place?!? It's a dumb step backward.

I have in real trouble. I have tried multiple rooms and I do delete both dalvik cache and other cache and wipe system but some how after sometime while I am on the new ROM, apps begin to crash . mostly CNN app and viber app and also system ui

Always this msg . unfourtanetly vivwr has stopped working. I den know wat to do please help

Right now on sorcerey ROM with its own custom kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
Did you factory reset (or wipe data) prior to flashing the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] khuzema9:
Yup I always do that. Always
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
Sounds like you're restoring the same "wrong" system data with Titanium Bkup on every rom you flash.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] khuzema9:
Nope . I reset dara. Wipe both cache and then install the ROM . I den install system data now . yup I did it before what you you please suggest should I do now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
You say you install system data? What do you mean by that? Are you using something like titanium backup?

My guess is that there is something wrong with your ROM install procedure though, since this problem persists across multiple ROMs. If it were just one app, or just one ROM then the problem could be app or ROM related. But when there are multiple apps, and multiple ROMs that leads me to think this.

Perhaps you can use logcat to find the problem, if you are sure your installation method is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariosraptor:
I had the same problem when i installed ParanoidAndroid rom.

Then when i flashed sny other rom systemui always was crashing.

The only way out of it was to flash stock image with full wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr0xyw0rm:
Are you using titanium backup to restore your apps after you flash the ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] khuzema9:
I am not using titanium back up . I manually restore them from play store omy Google account restores. And I always follow procedure top install ROM . how. To get the bug report

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] magus57:
As much as I love my Galaxy Nexus overall, I still can't get over how difficult one-handed operation is (mostly the fact that I can't touch all four corners of the screen without either shifting my grip or the phone in some major way). Having the newest version of Android is both a blessing and a curse too (susceptible to new bugs/issues and app incompatibilities).

Being able to get a brand-new dual-core phone for $200 is certainly tempting, too; the Sola and P don't appeal to me for a number of reasons, price included. Anyway, I'm aware of the limited storage (which is fine, especially with OTG support), and can't think of any other complaints I've read about in reviews (thickness is fine - I had a G2 before my Galaxy Nexus and never once thought it was too thick)...with that being said, anybody have any input on such a decision, or anything I should know about the U (maybe a replacement in the works already)? Doesn't necessarily have to be from a Galaxy Nexus specifically, anybody who's gone from a larger phone (comparable in specs) to the Xperia U too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thunderising:
Don't move to a U from a GNexs.

Minimum you move to an Xperia P. Or get the Xperia Sola.

I believe for one handed operation a phone the size of the Xperia S is perfect!
