[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
well it was as well no personal attack from me just answered to the different points I will do now again :)

1. yeah thanks for it and allready fixed. As I said an issue hardly anyone could reproduce. Of course not nice that it happens for you when you get the first impression

2. Google is in the process to change the complete colorscheme away from ICS...they are still doing. It is not that anyone is freaking out it is just that google starts the process to go away from the old ICS days. Well and we do now our own interpretation of it. Some do not like it on stock some do not like it on Slim. And a lot use just other roms and install themes to get rid of both colors :p

3. Well what is exactly the point. Stock AOSP has on wifi and bluetooth settings FC problems (just 2 examples) does not happen to all but they are existend. Other example scan media FC always on AOSP. Well you did not run into it....good for you. But as well most did not run into the file manager problem on Slim. So you see even google which do a 2 month testing after internally close the release source do not get all bugs out. Even serious one not (see especially first 4.4 release). On Slim we have even shorter testing periods on the testing crew and tbh I am proud of our testers/user that we can reach at least the same as a multi million dollar company.

4. Yes I agree this is a point we are working out at the moment that SlimCenter does not need any root. Patches for this are allready in testing. Well again you say some of our functionalities...the only one which needs it is SlimCenter bugreport and slimsizer. Other then that the whole rom does not need any root. Thats eg a reason why dpi changer was not included till now due that we are working on it without the need to have root. Almost finished now.

5. Well lol of course I would love to do that....but as you said we do for free and at least we have some powerfull developer....but currently not enough to cover everything. Well we have some things on the todo list regarding this. But that simply just needs time. We are going on some parts now completly own ways, developing mostly all allone with a quiet small developer team (compared to eg google or as well CM). So IMO this is allready a quiet good result (at least when I see the user feedback). And as I said new things will come and of course all can be done always better.

6. thanks :)

and yeah it is ok and let us calm down now. It was as well no personal atack from my side. Just wanted to clarify that current state is not less stable then companies which are rolling out stable releases. Like companies do we do in our free time the same....and will improve our stuff more :)

PS: and you know I just opened my mouth due that I know that we are on a lot parts very consistent......giving user same settings logics, helpscreens, keep an eye that popups stay and do not close on configuration changes, try to be consistent etc etc etc. You have no idea how much time goes into this. Not only the developing it....the discussions about, tester feedback etc etc etc. A lot roms do not care at all about it. Companies do due that they need to do....well and we try to do what companies do...but for free and as hobby.
