Ahhh, here it is: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...hmark-11-modern-devices-compared-in-13-tests/

I have read some of your security articles though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vudu:
Wow...looks like this is all getting worked out, but Scott, got to commend you for staying civil after being attacked by jcase (fyi, "hustling" has a negative connotation), pulser, Adam, etc. Just read through this thread and have to say I was getting pissed off for you. Just goes to show how little community there is in the xda community - if you mods/admins/users have an issue like this, take it offline and resolve it there instead of dragging someone through the dirt publicly (to make an example? Seriously?). If you want to get the word out, then go ahead and make a front page post explaining everything after things have been resolved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
And these are the xda's of our lives. Can you guys pause for a minute? I went through an entire Sam's club tub of orville redinbachers movie theater style popcorn and a pack of sour patch kids. Need an intermission...I think I'll get some beer for the second half.

If this thread has confirmed nothing else its the fact that a computer screen and a keyboard makes certain people a real bad a$$.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderbread:
This post = awesome. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcase:
Hustling wasn't ment to be negative at all, nor was it an attack on Scott. To hustle apparently has many meanings, I was not calling Scott a thief or a prostitute (I did not know that was a definition of hustling, and probably will never say "I'm going to the casino to hustle" ever again).

I apologize if anyone took that comment to mean anything negative. I use hustle as a means to obtain a want or need in a non ordinary way. I hustle often. ie I scrap metal, chop wood ec when times are tough, sometimes I release work that I do not actually want to release, to raise funds for other projects, sometimes I go play poker to pay bills. All forms of hustling, just a means to an end. Nothing wrong with any of it.

Yes Scott has been polite through this, as he is normally.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
Welcome to the Verizon Note 2 forum Scott! :D You truly deserve to be here! Your a great guy as well as pulsar because from what I have read these were the ONLY two people that acted civil and sane in this thread including myself! Well. maybe a few more? But, I am glad that it is all going to be discussed and maybe we can get some better understanding of what the actual rules mean on xda...I am really glad that I got to see how such "powerful" people act when somebody gets their panties in a bunch! I just got to see first hand how adults can act like my 3 year old daughter... :laugh: YES, I donated... NO, I don't feel screwed over... I will continue to enjoy xda as it is intended and thanks everyone for letting me know who the "haters" are! :eek: This is one of the worst threads I have ever seen on xda. I love how the "elite" and "recognized" people act.. Your just like the rest of us guys... Don't get it twisted! And to 2swizzle, you are hilarious man but I am bigger... Sorry! :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
I'm starting a donation thread for me a new s-pen cause I chewed the end of it off due to being so caught up in reading this mess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
I got $20.00 on friday man! :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
And I'll say one more thing and then I'm done.

I started a thanks thread to thank Mr outler and the other people who have worked so hard on this phone. I called his name out personally .

1) I wish I hadn't done that now (this isn't the first time I've seen him treat/talk to people like they're trash)

2) I wish someone else would have unlocked this phone.

But I'm still grateful because I know I couldn't do it myself

That's all you'll hear from me on that subject.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
I have been saying it all along... Its the Internet... Everyone will post there opinion. Im just an old man, been through a lot in my life... This... This was a comical way for me to pass time at my otherwise boring day at work...

I didint want to stat a pissing contest. I asked permission from three Mods (directly and indirectly) and they confirmed this is a sanctioned thread for RD's and that no harm would come of this.

One the mods even posted in this thread stating this was the direction given to me...

I was quite a bit disappointed with the thread not being moderated in a fashion that was more conducive to "the iron fist policy"... But just goes to show, its not what you know, its WHO you know.

I also want to point out that pulser was never at any one point rude or disrespectful to me. There was really only one disrespectful person towards me... I wont go into the name game. It doesnt matter... You guys can read.

But your right... None of this should have been posted publicly... If there was a "real" issue with what the intent of the thread, they would have closed it and that would have been the end of it.

But that didint happen... My link was left up and the thread remained open...

I got no complaints ;)

OMG!!!!!

That was up there with the numb pooping on the toilet joke!

Thank you for clarifying your definition hustling because it certainly can be perceived in a negative fashion. Granted the dictionary definition of "hustling" is not a negative but rather one that is some what neutral.

Although in common sub cultures of the United states it could mean one that intentionally devices people for personal profit. I have never deceived any one and even stated my intent within the first few postings I made.

Once again thank you for clarifying...

Pusler was good man. I had no issues with him. He is Admin. If I or OP was doing something terrible I am SURE he would have ended it ASAP!

I dont know how any one can feel screwed over... They donated. No one forced them to... Nor did I say if you dont donate you cannot download. No one had to donate... But I am glad they did!

I thank you all for that!

I got 5 on it :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Its all good man. Even after he acted like a **** towards me I still hit his donate button. He did a great job unfortunately we all have different views. Thats life....

Now....

I got something for you all.... Check Dev thread in an hour or so....

I will no longer be monitoring this thread....

Peace out yall!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
I think you are correct in that it is a matter of numbers of Verizon members vs. Sprint. I have been realizing it when the amount of questions posted in General instead of Q&A are like 5 to 1 against Verizon.. At first I just thought Verizon users couldn't read...LOL J/K
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
dude, I'm sorry but you deserve to give yourself a week vacation. You came in here and insulted a RD who has probably put out more ROMS across more carriers than anyone in the last year and then threaten to ban someone else who does the same to another dev, the same dev that probably told you to come to this thread.

Maybe before you go spewing diarrhea from the mouth, you should have researched the thread and the developer before coming in here half cocked slinging insults. Why is it ok for you to insult a dev but not a regular user? Some of the same devs that are critical of this thread also had donation threads on their behalf to get devices. Pot meet kettle.

And it didn't already have the device. He has the at&t version. Guess you don't keep up with the cdma side of the game, seeing as its mostly a USA thing, but because of proprietary RILs, they can be a pain to port to. I don't want a port on my phone, I want a ROM that is based off of my carrier. Same reason I don't use any AOSP ports on verizon. They all have broken features. Some choose to be OK with that, I want my phone fully functional.

CDMA uses frequently have to beg devs we like to work on our devices. Its the nature of the beast. But Verizon is king here and its something we live with to be on the best network. No one was forced to donate, we all did it because of his past work. Guess next time we'll post the donations in one of his other 100 ROM threads since that is ok, but this is not...

Bottom line, most of us here think you owe Scrosler an apology and if you are going to temp ban anyone, you should start with yourself, not to mention, edit your original posts in this thread.

While I'm on the topic of Scrosler, I don't get why so many devs hate him. He does solid work. Yes, they are not built from AOSP source, and are usually customized, stockish type ROMs, but they are always bug free. And as others have stated, he gives better "customer" support than any other dev. He has done several personal mods for me on my rezound, and that is why I donated a hundred bucks, knowing I won't have this phone till february. Did I get "taken" for donating? Of course not, there's no guarantee of anything here. We all know that. With so many devs so full of themselves of how awesome they are that they can mod code to make a better ROM, its nice to have one that is genuinely a good guy and responds to his users. Its sad that so many devs try and make this a **** measuring contest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Actually the Note 2 software is notoriously simple to get working on any carrier, GSM or CDMA. It is a lot like Maguro vs. Toro when I ported the JB preview to Toro in about 5 minutes.

You wouldn't know the difference between an ATT, Sprint, or Verizon originating rom if the person who ported it knows what they are doing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
maybe not, I'm not a dev, stopped that with windows mobile 6.5 on my hd2. But the attacks in this thread were quite ridiculous. Still don't understand why devs feel they have to bash other devs. Let the users decide who does the best work.

That being said, I would trust a dev a little more that actually has the device I do. Easier to test bugs yourself, than rely on testers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
I would agree if its aosp.

Samsung worked out most the bugs with TW already amd no zip rom fixes bugs past replacing broken parts with working ones from another rom. Which as you said you do not want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
haven't had a cdma device yet that had a perfectly working aosp (probably due to the long list of htc devices) and probably won't run aosp on this if they can't get it to work with s-pen.

Don't have the device yet, but CleanROM will be the first custom I put on it. I will probably try AOSP at some point, when I get bored, but like sense 4 ROMs on the Rezound, I always come back to what I find to be the most stable 3.6 ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
I shall ignore your attitude here.

I refer you to what Adam said earlier. This is the same phone with a different SBOOT. As Verizon locks it down heavily. And as that's now overcome literally the same rom is flashed... Hence Adam posting the existing file. Put in your APN and it's sorted :)

As such I maintain this stinks... Going from an ATT to a VZW one is a personal decision. Not one based on development.

But don't take my word for it - look at what the other developers here are say!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
My bad.

The 5 minute port from Maguro to Toro took more work, LOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
devs fight all the time. Really don't get why they hate scrosler. You can scan the archives and find it. Same devs complaining in here, had bounty threads in their honor to get devices.

Still stand by my original claim, that you acted unprofessionally as an admin and you should remove/edit your posts. Its not your or xda's decision on who gets donations or who's ROMs we choose to flash. You insulted a recognized developer. How is that right? Whether he chooses to ignore it and be a better human is his choice but you are out of line.

If you feel its against xda policy, fine, close the thread. Make sure you close every other bounty thread on every other device forum. But be frigging consistent. Devs are not going to buy every device released out of pocket.

As far as my attitude, go look at your posts and tell me if you were being professional, then come back and talk to me about my attitude. Once again, admin, mods and RD's should be held to a higher standard than the rest of the posters. They have been given special priviledges and as such should be more respectful on here.

just my 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
I bought my Note 2, and have been doing mods for free. Check IRC. I am even writing program for users to add my mods to their roms without losing their own rom's features and will be open sourcing it. Also, I have been doing work for GS3 folks too and I don't even have that device. I was doing similar on the Samsung Continuum, device unseen until someone straight out gave me a used one. Team BAMF supports Toro, Maguro and Toroplus. We only have Toro devices, yet we manage.

You don't need devices bought for you to get things done.

You can harp on the other devs who had donation threads, but they brought things to the table that nobody else did. Adam and ralekdev simply could not do their work without a device. Imnuts gave us a complete, signed stock Odin. He was only a couple hundred short of getting the device anyway, and also brought out cwm to the device. All of this done before the thread started. He worked for it. They all did.

I am sure scrosler is a great guy and I am not attacking him in the least. But these donation threads are ridonkulous, especially when the need is not there. If I had an ATT Note 2, I wouldn't press for another carrier version, knowing they are almost identical in software and hardware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pulser_g2:
No body is telling anyone who can or cannot donate to whom. If you want to donate $15k to him, be my guest. He might need to sort out taxes, but I'm sure he'd love it.

Nobody here, particularly me, is trying to suggest who you do or do not donate to, or flash the work of...

But we do have rules about who can go about advertising their need for money... Think of it like in real life - begging is illegal on the streets in London. It's not illegal to give a beggar money, but it's illegal for him to beg.

On XDA except in really amazingly extreme circumstances, like unlocking a bootloader, you don't go advertising your need for money. This is a development site, not a "get me a new phone" site!

Imagine if we didn't do this - every new forum will just be awash with people trying to get their own free phone...

Devs don't and shouldn't buy every phone... We come to xda to develop on phones we already have bought for ourselves - that's why the rules explained this is a hobby site and not your job!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeChannon:
Closing this thread, points of view have been expressed, the differing sides of the case are well covered for those that care to read carefully and a completed bounty thread serves no purpose once the bounty has been collected

Keep an eye on swappa.com.

Could get one for cheaper. For example...

In for $25

Can't wait to see a CleanRom on the Note. Thanks Scott!

Confirmation: 3NG320449B888115P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
There you are Scott!! :good: I didn't know what to think at first and than I ran and posted on your S3 thread in excitement because I actually had a talk with you about doing a Verizon rom as well but that was awhile ago... Anyways I will keep this thread posted on my status as I am hoping for some EARLY Christmas cash... LOL I will definitely throw some your way! That was nice of you to quote me about your S3 work and then you came out of nowhere and added about 10 more links! :laugh: Anyways I have no doubt that you will get this phone so I am a happy camper cause I have my N4 for CM10 so I just want a Aromafied Touchwiz scrosler style! :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
I'm not being a party pooper. I used your work on the S3 and even donated to your before. I just didn't think the OP contacted you at first. Geez
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Damn good point! It doesnt have to be brand new! I will galdy accept a used one in good condition with good esn!

Thanks man!

Oh yeah!

Oh, Ok. Seemed like you were bashing... But I see what your saying now... Will retract my party pooper comment. I just couldnt get your angle but you clarified! Thanks for taking the time to do that. We cool?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Here is where we are at right now...

Plus my own 50.00 puts us at 190...

Not to shabby for a lazy Sunday afternoon....

Thank you to those who have donated to the cause thus far!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MadManMoon:
Does my physical donation count, kinda sorta? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Huh? What? I dont get it? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Yea dude we cool. I see where you might have thought I was bashing. I get paid Friday. I'll send a donation your way when I do since I used your ROM a lot on the S3 :D:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MadManMoon:
The GNex that's on its way!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
Sell the gnex! Lol or trade some idiot the cash + gnex for a note 2

Sent from my unlocked, and overclocked Galaxy Note 2 running bean's rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Cool cool!

Damn! Yes, that counts! That counts more than anything because if it were not for that I would have to reliquish the SGS3 to the Wife. You saved the ENTIRE SGS3 community a major set back with that one!

Your name deserves to be in lights! For real!

If it werent for you there would be no more CleanROM for SGS3 but now I get to keep it.

No, that would send me backwards! Then I would have to give Wife the SGS3 and people would kill me!! lol

IM gonna post in the "Trader Forum" and see if anyone has a deal they can work out with us...

Im going to link back to this thread...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
What the hell, they closed the market place!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] StirCwazy:
Yup, sometime in November. No real way to offer security for both parties so they closed the doors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Yeah, that sucks! I never had a problem. Sold a couple things... and all was well...

Maybe people can look on the local craigs list....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechBSwift:
Scott

Happy to see you bro!!! You will have $20 coming from me Thursday, I donated to Beans,AdamOutler and Imnuts, so tapped out until Thursday but will most def donate to you. I love how your Roms are always perfect and stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Johnnyrb:
Scott, I have donated to Adam and Beans. Here is $100 toward the cause. Confirmation #6J520458SY060945A. Love your work on the Galaxy SIII and the Asus 700. Thank you for all your hard work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxxmarkxxx:
I can't now but if you don't have it after Xmas I'll definitely help you really do quality work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Thanks man!

Wow, thank you so much! That just jumped us from 28% to 41%!!!

Much appreciated!

Cool Cool!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
that no good, phone jumping dev!!! Probably not even on XDA anymore!!! :laugh:

oops, there he is. Don't even have this phone yet, thinking about harassing verizon into early upgrades on the kids lines (they don't get to keep their unlimited, sorry children, Mommy and Daddy need their data).

Hey Scott, I'll get you for a 100 sometime this week. Waiting on the wife's bonus to roll in. She's getting a Note 2 as well so its about time she donated!!! (whether she knows it or not) :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Wow, man, that will put us way past the 50% mark!

Can you imagine, I leve the Rezound because the phone was poop and people think I amd brunt out, lol :p

I bringz thingz to your phonez! lol

I do more on XDA before 9:00AM than the average Dev does all day :highfive: :angel: :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
IM going to start scouring ebay, and what not..

I also saw Amazon has a $200 deal going rtight now but its back orderred and that puts me in the same predicament, a contract :( Phewyy!

Nevermind ebay! Those people are asking more than retail at VZW store!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
Hey now, still using that Rezound... Its a decent phone, just was an end of processor cycle where new stuff was coming out 3 months later. Screen still rocks and with extended battery I usually get through my 14-16 hour day.

and remember, no matter how many ROMs you put out on how many devices, you are still just an APK deleter! :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
ROTFLMAO, boy does that bring back some bad memories...........

Hey Scott, good to see you here my friend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechBSwift:
Scott

Don't trip we get it, no one keeps a phone forever, your just let me, you hop on to the new hotness. You did and still do amazing working on the S3, and can't wait for you to do the same on the N2 for Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
You guys crack me up!

Remember when that dude made a public apology thread? LLOLOLOLOLO!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] griffis:

So with my $50.00 donation that brings us to $315 which is 45%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FitchVA:
:confused: another Fitchett? not a very common name! anyway, nothing of value to contribute. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] StirCwazy:
Not too shabby for a little under a days work. Keep it up folks!

Having CleanROM on our N2s is going to be amazing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Yeah, and I am terrbile at math, its actually $315.00, lol

Good thing I can build ROMS, lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] StirCwazy:
Hahahaha! I was just about to post "I didn't donate to your ability to add, but your ability to rom" and stopped because it sounded too mean. But since you said it about yourself, I figured wtf I'll admit to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
you from Virginia? We might be related. Digging into the family tree, there were 4 generations at least born in Virginia that I've dug up, back to the late 1800's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Hey man, think about this...

I work for a BANK!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
I'm sorry sir, but take that off-topic chat somewhere else!!!

Wife's bonus checks are sitting with her boss. Hopefully she'll get them today and I can donate tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] StirCwazy:
LOL. Dude you are too much. Either or, you roms, freakin' awesome!

Donate people, get this man a device!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Cool!

Word!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
What recovery will this Rom be flashable with
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Ummm... Whats available?

So far all of my Note 2 ROMS have been flashable on CWM or TWRP. I prefer twrp myself. Light years ahead of CWM.

Only one not tested is AmonRA and that has ceased, as far as I can tell.

Do you know of any others?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
Yeah just wandering if it was on twrp that's what I have and I heard that people are having problems switching recoveries so I would like to stay twrp

Thank you for that fast reply
