[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
Congratulations Tony, your keeping on asking for donations has reached a new level: an open development project ... for 80€ or more; very cheep for a smart developer.

But, if I remember well, there is one xda rule which allows asking for donations only in signature and not in public posts.

I see that you're making some people happy with your work but in the meantime you're changing this open source forum in a commercial forum.

Time ago You were so severe with Stefan Gundhor about open source rules and maybe you were right; now it's your turn to follow this xda rule and stop asking for money.
[LG Optimus 2x] kenop123:
really thanks

Thanks tonyp for this wonderful rom! And i am sorry because i am a secondary school student so i can't donate to you. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
Here is the XDA rule

"8. Donations. We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for."
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
AOSP has support for up2date devices, like the Nexus ones.

So for example for Android 4.4 you at least need kitkat blobs which support the new APIs and offer the expected functionalities.

We're using really old ICS blobs which aren't supported anymore in the AOSP sources.

Same goes to our SoC (tegra2), which isn't supported in bionic or our old bcm4329 wifi driver etc etc.

So we're missing lots of requirements which Android 4.4 expects when you're trying to compile it.

CyanogenMod has a great deal of experience with forwardporting older hardware support into newer android versions, part of that stuff is way above my head as it's really close to the hardware.

Huh, I thought I'll do you guys a favor by that.

Shame on me for offering to keep the device and then continue to work on it.

I've never asked for money for anything, I'm just looking for the amount I could make by selling the 2x.

If you think it's ever been about money you should realize I've probably spent more than 1000 hours in the last 1.5 years on this device and forum and in that time got a couple hundred bucks of donations. Damn that's a sweet wage per hour, isn't it? Actually by thinking about it I guess I'm insane in the first place.

I don't mind spending my leisure time on development for free, but if you're expecting me to even loose money while doing that (by not selling a device I personally don't need anymore) I'll have to disappoint you. I'm loosing more than enough money by not going to work in that time.

Oh and please explain to me what all this has to do with open source development, or are we just using some buzz words here without any idea about what they're about?

Last but not least - if you think I'm violating xdas rules: Please, be my guest and report me to the mods and ask them to check it out.

I've said this a couple times already and will do it again: pretty please don't apologize for not being able to donate, no one is expecting you to do so, ever.

I'm doing this to learn stuff about Android, to have some fun, to help out people and am of course happy about an occasional donated beer, but that's never been the point :)

As I've wrote I'll keep the LG 2x if this won't cost me money, if it would I will refund the last donations and just sell it off, I don't really mind which way to go.
[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
Tonyp is absolutely right. Keeping a phone of which is not is primary one has it's costs.

Usually everyone who goes from one phone to another, as to to sell the old one. I'm putting on sale mine too, because I can't buy another one without selling.

Thinking that way, Tonyp as been really nice. He could have sold it before to gets is newer phone, but he didn't.

So, if you guys would like to keep seeing his work on this phone, let's just join and compensate the cost of a almost 3 years old smartphone.

If you don't want, just don't....

It's up to you guys....

Damn - 60nine is so right - please don't spam the forum neither with questions you can solve yourself by searching nor by complaining pitty-minded. It's only because this unnecessary content - the people can't find the interesting stuff themselfes.

[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
Ok [MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION], bravo, your point about donations and these 80€ for the missing sale of your 2x is clear.

All those hours of your leisure time spent in 1.5 years for the people ...

You see, I'm an xda user since nov 2011 and I'm reading all your threads: you started with donations buttons and posts and remindings since your very starting work, maybe after one hour of your leisure time. It's you.

I see that other devs are spending lot of their leisure time making custom roms and they ask only for thanks. Because they know how much code they get from the open source library or from other devs groups. And they know that the mass test of their roms, wich contributes to get a better rom, is made by the users.

Maybe each dev should pay for the code he gets and for the tests he receives. But everything is free.

Because in an open source environment there is a mutual advantage for devs (for their professional use, too) and users. It's one and maybe the best reason to get everything better.

Last but not least, the amount of work never means good quality.

Ok I'll stop here this OT. No reason for me to report anything, you did it yourself.

I don't use your roms but sometimes I test them and I read all your threads. Apart from some arrogance here and there, I'm always learning something and I must thank you for that.

This is true for the most of this xda env.
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
Dude, please, what is your problem. You say you been here 1+ year, if you dont like it, wtf you still doing here? With Tonyp selling his phone, this community will die. If he keeps it, lots of people will keep their o2x only because he keeps it! Stop ruining it for so many man, I suggest you edit your post and leave it to moderators! Please, he is doing us a huge huge huge favor by taking donations, offering future development instead of dead development. say thx to him being gentle enough not to just sell right after he got his new phone. Let us enjoy Tonyp's presence, with your comments, that is tough, so please, edit your rough point of views, keep them to yourself, we have moderators to handle things and quite frankly, you are not one!
[LG Optimus 2x] tr@p:
It's been a really long time since I've fish slapped anyone... Any candidates on sight? :D

I'm really in mood here... :laugh:

And I hate you tonyp! For going to N5, I still tend towards Xperia Z1s. But I'll wait pengus and his choice... N5 is second contender, but still prefer Sony.

Anyway, if you need to get someone over N5 forum fish slapped, just send a call (call sign [MENTION=2666848]tr@p[/MENTION]). Something like Batman... :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Custom40:
Gosh, what am I reading? But don't flame Mr. Owals, if he wants to think this is wrong, let him do so. But Mr. Owals, while you are at it, remember to report master Pengus too who got his O2X off donations, so perhaps you should have him banned. If this is indeed against the rules, then have your thank you notes ready to be sent to XDA HQ for taking down this community.

Hi!

Which version of TheRom cm10.2 is more stable? I mean Build 21 or TheRom exp-opt? How is the camera? I mean if i install a diiferent camera ( frrom feav or Jishnu or someone else ) it will still crash a lot of times? How it is compared to cm10.1 tonyp build version 05 (what i am running now) ?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] natalya:
Came by to see how things were looking for the Optimus 2X forum after almost a month of not checking anything (mine got bricked as some of you know). I'm actually amazaed to see all this positivity from people doing everything they can to still keep this forum on its toes. It really is lovely.

And I counted €65.66 + SamReciter's unkown donation amount. As of now, it will cost you less than €15 to keep a dev who has gained almost 30K thanks from one and only one community: O2X! I'd seize the opportunity if I were you )

To those who asked me a long time ago; I bought a Sony Z like two weeks back, but I don't think Sony is my cup of tea and I am about to sell it (got it on a good deal anyway, so won't lose anything on it yay). Just wanted to say, if you want to buy Sony, prepare yourself; it is something different :p

I hope the best for this community, keep it going strong!
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Some prefer Build 21, others the exp-opt version. You'll just have to try yourself and make your own choice.

From my own experience (although I no longer have a P990) feav's camera is more stable than the stock camera. Combine it with pengus77's kernel, no-ramhack version. It should help a lot.
[LG Optimus 2x] ensboarder:
And.... What will be your next phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
Hello Bhai, Nice to see you around! :D

I told ya about SONY! :P :P
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
Well, there are reasons why we don't go for the Z, but for the Z1s ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] natalya:
Haha I like how talking about other devices is just sooooo popular on this forum. Consider making a new thread discussing phones, every thread around here has posts about their next phone lol.

And yes Jishnu bhai, I should've listened! Sony in general is not just something for me. Next stop for me: Samsung. Thinking about the S4 Mini, its size fits really well on your hand.

Sorry for bringing off topic, but lol it will not take long before someone else posts about another phone, so make that thread already :)

[LG Optimus 2x] Fíghter02:
Come on guys :) Now is your chance to show how much you have appreciated having a talented guy working on improving our phone for all this time!

It's hard to believe that a device can be enhanced this much since launch and it wouldn't have been possible without the great developers of this forum. Sadly, there are not many developers left and that's why we should encourage the few remaining ones to stay.

I'm not ready to give up on this device. How about you guys? ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
What is the total amount received so far, tony? 80 euro might already have been reached, there are two unannounced donation amounts here, those included might give 80 euro.

80 Euros is a MINIMUM

tonyp, thanks for everything! 10 euros, 28N71767CR437074Y. :good:

To everyone else: 80 euros is the minimum, not the maximum. Open source does not mean freeload. Open source does not mean hold out as long as possible and give as little as possible. That is not the way of open source.

A lot has been given by tonyp. If it wasn't for tonyp you all might be stuck back on ICS and your only way to enjoy JB would be by spending hundreds on a new device. If you are participating in the complaining, or justifying the complaining, let me tell you right here and right now that your self-entitlement is very, VERY uncool. :mad:

So many downloads, so little love. The time has come to dig into your wallets, just a little. tonyp has given and given and given to you. Time to give just a little back. A couple coffees worth from each and every one of us would actually make a difference to him. I won't miss a couple of coffees. 80 euros is not enough to really show our appreciation. Do better than that. Be better than that. Support the man who has been supporting you! We can do it!
[LG Optimus 2x] Ajsh:
Of course we should donate! Tony is not asking for further donations just telling us for what cause we are donating!

Here you go 7 €

Yes. I had it on Cm10.1 as well. Usually you just need to switch between 2g/3g once and it works again ;)

Hi

My feedback on the use of BT with my car. With Build 21 I can call and receive calls but my car cannot access to my contacts. With ext opt my car can access to my contacts, place the call but I don't hear anything in the loudspeaker(and nobody was able to hear me, I was obliged to disable the loudspeaker and enable the phone speaker in the calling page).

Don't know if I'mthe only one in this case.

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Thanks a lot guys! You've raised the desired amount easily :) :good:

And a special thanks to those of you who kept on donating after the amount has been raised, highly appreciated :highfive:

As Pulser (the developer admin if you don't know who he is) hasn't posted any update regarding the new HDD for the buildserver I've reached out to goo.im and reactivated my old buildbox account there.

It's a tad slower than the xda one, but I prefer to build on a remote server rather than locally (as my notebook only carries a 120gb ssd and I'm not always in reach of my external hdds).

I've just started the sync, this will download the android source code now (takes a while, it's somewhere about 18gb).

Time to go to bed now, but tomorrow everything should be ready to make a new build (which will be CM10.2-M2 based with -Os buildflags) :)

Until then: Please post some more feedback about bluetooth.

Sounds like great news that the speed-up bug is finally fixed.

As you know my BT headset only randomly speeds-up, so I can't fully confirm this. But at least listening to music via bluetooth for the last hour didn't cause any speed-up :victory:

But I can confirm that receiving files via bluetooth is fully fixed now. I've paired my notebook to the P990, sent a file, accepted the transfer on the phone and booya there it was.

These have been the biggest last standing bugs that I've been terribly annoyed by, so this is really great.

There have been quite some updates to the bluedroid repo before build 21, so it does make sense.

[MENTION=4959823]fabads[/MENTION]: So BT calling does work as well for you know?

Can anyone else confirm that?

Hi

I cannot hear the call from my radio Sony BT MEX-BT3800U

I make a call, the radio turn to BT-Phone but i can't hear anything, and at the other phone (destination phone) they hear a "piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii".

Build 21
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
build 22

And here it is, as promised :fingers-crossed:

build 22 changelog:

-Os buildflag optimizations

(smaller modules loaded into the RAM means more free RAM available to the phone)

synced to CM10.2-M1

I'd suggest to clear cache & dalvik this time.

Please post feedback regarding bluetooth etc, as soon as I got confirmation everything is working as expected I'll build the clean CM10.2 ROM for those of you who prefer that :)

It seems like BT calls still aren't possible, that will then probably stay that way, I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong with that.

But at least the fixed speed-up bug makes it BT usable to listen to music etc. :)

There are two brightness sliders. The one where you swipe on the status bar to adjust volume and the one inside the notification drawer.

Don't know about you, but for me, system-UI still FC's whenever the brightness slider in the notification drawer is used. This bug has been present since early builds, at least for me it has

Doesn't really mean a big deal to me as the brightness adjustment on status bar works fine, though. And about getting rid of it, it doesn't get disabled by disabling it in settings, it gets disabled by itself somehow; ignore it, give it some time and you'll see it gone :)

Edit: I apologize! Logcat will come. Completely forgot that step.

One more feedback to BT (build 21).

pro: BT connection is stable (in previous builds the connection to my car always broke down after some minutes)

cons: BT calls don't work (nobody can hear the other side); even worse: after a failed BT call I've got the same issue with regular phone calls (when BT is turned off still nobody can hear the other side)

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

Oh, and one feedback concerning the boot animation.

A friend of mine thought that my phone is broken when he saw it. And I must admit, that the little android guy is falling much too fast downwards into the portal. You can hardly see what happens. So I think the animation would be much more fun if it was slower so that one can see what actually happens.

edit: Hey, this "post added" feature is pretty cool!
[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
you can change the boot animation with any you find for this resolution phone...

there are few really good ones on xda (search bootanimation on xda, go to system/media folder, delete the old one, copy new one there, change the file permissions to rwrr, and you're good to go)
