[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
I've read nevyntanis' plan, it is really good, basically it is what we have already been doing and has been prepared, but more organised, and he definitely knows what he is talking about. But as he said it is in a draft stage yet, so until it is ready, lets

focus our mails to reach as much escalation (or the confirmation of it) as we can get.

On the other hand once it is finished I also prefer to see it posted here and added to the OP, there's no need to keep it confidential as it would just introduce a hierarchy which we defto want to avoid. About the concern that HTC finds it out and prepares against us, let's just say we aren't and won't become an opponent for them.

As I said earlier, it is not a matter of life and death for them, but rather an administrative issue that comes from a decision which follows an established marketing model. About what their communication reflects, the incompetent and contradictory replies are not deception or a conspiracy against us, but simply a really badly organised customer support (to which we need to give a little treatment lol). Therefore they won't put corporate effort in making such a counter-plan, it is easier just to release the code IF things get tighter.

And

most probably they already have an ETA for releasing the code at some point in the future anyway

, but we need AOSP and CM9 NOW and we do everything to make it happen, instead of becoming old farts with our phone in the waiting.

And this only depends on the amount and the quality of the pressure we apply on them, this is what our plan is about (if you don't mind nevyntanis that I call it ours).

About the petition, once we come out with it, it needs to be really solid, so I would suggest to wait a bit more as we still need to know more about their official position. Especially because of the reply russell664 just got now about HTCdev.com T&C, but this can also be an isolated case. Or because of what they have to say about the licensing, this is what I meant earlier on waiting until we know where we are standing. Again, for this, we need to be more organised about sending emails,

the more of us participates the faster the process will be.

Also nevyntanis has some good points about the petition too, I send him the draft we already have.

Exactly Rich, it's a very good point. This is the first sign of an organised response, and what I read from this together with the reply I got, is that they are becoming aware of the situation collectively, and as if they would take us more seriously, at least their use of language is more respectful now, which, if they realise these emails are coming from one organised source, is not surprising after so much complaint (don't forget, even they have quality control, which might even be an independent company too, that issues industry qualifications for example, and checks on them every year, so too much intelligent complaint that makes a point like ours is not desirable for them, especially if it is accompanied with their dumbass replies).

But the point is, this reply and the one I got sums up what we have achieved so far, therefore what we should aim is reach this point with each of our emails, until we get an official reply, and we might even learn further details from them in the meantime that we can verify. And for this

we need the guys who are actively sending or want to send emails

, to enlist at the nearest recruitment office which is this lol.

I update the OP with the ones I know are active, and anyone who wants to join you can let us know here, it is not needed to mention how much your help is appreciated:highfive: You have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a hero lol. No seriously, this way we know how many escalations we got or can aim to have. Also we can help each other more to achieve an escalation or the confirmation of it, and hopefully this also makes the communication less frustrating with them for everyone.

So, people of the Desire C community, who wants to join sending emails to HTC?
