[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] titooo7:
I will be honest with you although you don't even deserve me to spend time replying you. So I will post that so other users can know why we wrote that, why we do this and why we do that:

1-In my opinion and most of the e-team members opinion (9 people) the spirit of xda is take as much as you can and give as less as possible.

I could be an hypocrite and talk about a place where everybody share blablabla... but I don't think xda is that kind of place really so I won't talk about xda like that. In my opinion xda is a place where only a few share and the rest winzip, copy, paste, and request like if there won't be tomorrow.

2-According to xda rules selective sharing is not permitted: you have to share with everybody or with nobody. So if for some reason we don't want to share with user Pablo Escobar then we are not allowed to share with the rest of devs.

3-According to xda you are also not forced to share what you do, so if you have a problem with people not sharing whatever you will have to live with that and your wtf's.

4-Our modifications are not our property, the files that we modded are just the files that we modded.

The code is created by Samsung and we know how important and how good Samsung devs are. That's why nobody will see us saying ignorant things like "samsung devs are stupid" or things like that.

We "only" have to adapt what Samsung did and we never claimed the opposite. But I can guarantee you that when you have to start from the begining it's a hell of a job. Once someone already did it's much easier to port it and as it can be seen here we could do it with only one team member having the phone to make tests.

5-Everybody can do the same if they want to improve it make it more colorful or whatever, we just request them to don't include the files that we modded in our rom. We don't patent ideas like Apple.

6- Last but not least... unfortunately your reading abilities doesn't seem to be really good, otherwise you wouldn't have missed that after the sentence that you quoted we said:

"We (E-Team) will release a MOD with all the N3 features for the mentioned N2 variants as an standalone package shortly so everybody could enjoy N3 features, meanwhile please don't include the modded files of this rom (without heavy modifications the N3 features won't work) as we want to be sure that everything is perfect before people start addint it to their roms."

7-If you check the N7100 thread of DN3 you will see that we we also said the same there, and we only released the MOD as standalone package once we thought the rom was "perfect".

Till everything is clearly working we prefer people to not see our files (the files that we modded) in others roms. If someone has a problem with that he/she will have to live with that and wait till we think that everything is "perfect" and we release the rom... or do the same thing bythemselves... It's not so difficult to re-do it once someone already did it. hat's what we did in the N7100 thread, we didn't release the mod till we were sure that everything was perfect.

8-From 9 E-Team members only one has a N2 LTE variant. We don't get any benefit on having DN3 for N7105, att i317 & i317M or DN3 on any other rom. The only one who could get a benefit of having DN3 on that phone models was solohendo because he is the only one who got a N2 LTE variant, but he already got it working since 10 days ago or so (way before the rom was uploaded).

9- Me and most of the rest of E-Team members don't give a **** about xda fame or status. Our life didn't change for good since lot of users think we are very good devs, better than Samsung, arrogants or whatever. I

f we make users happy that's a good thing, we are not going to lie. But if they don't like we don't care we do like it and we do it for ourselves and once it's done we don't mind to share it.

10-We also don't care really about donations and that's why we didn't even spend time to put a donation button in the thread although we know that we probably could get much more money here than in N7100 thread. Except 2 team members that are still students all of us are grown men with our own jobs and the donations money is money for beers specially since we share the donations received.

So in case someone have doubts we don't ask people

11-The only reason why DN3 has been released for the N7105, i317 and i317M is because when users asked for N3 features in our N7100 thread I took the (probably wrong) decission of saying that we would do it and I felt in debt with them because I said we would do it so I thought we had to do it.

If I could go back in time I probably wouldn't have done that because as I said although it's nice to see other people happy thanks to what we did, it cause too much headache to have so many people requesting things and asking things with 0 effort to get helped.
