[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:
haha i wanted to see what it was like being a hater myself ;)

and I want to thank you for the donation. Really appreciate that.. wow.

Now I hope I can piss someone off enough for you. I'm not sure the reasoning is rage-inducing. . though I suppose no one should have been raging in the first place... so it doesn't take much. If not enough pissed from this post.. perhaps I can make up for it in follow-up posts as well haha. And if it is of any comfort.. just know people are still raging that this project is not open source and that it requires the website or api to bump an image. I'm still waiting for them to provide a better alternative tho... :good:

I actually just typed out a big story showing why it took 4 weeks.. but I actually think some things need to not be said right now.. as it's still a battle between us and LG. It's not over just yet... but things are looking good.

the edited version below... which I feel is still obvious to those who are reasonable humans...

if we made a move too early and put more cards on the table.. that could have compromised how effective Bump would be for all of us.. not only current G3 users but future ones as well. There were new updates coming out with bootloader changes and before rushing to something we needed to watch what was happening and try to see what may happen next. Leaks arrived and with those came more insight as to what was going on. Once we decided it was ok to move forward without jeopardizing things.. it was time to polish off the site.

In response to what some haters said... It was never the plan to wait "3-4 months until L to release"... The last few weeks were very busy behind the scenes.. from aosp dev to website dev to just seeing what LG was doing.. eventually we were confident and ready to move forward... aosp was mostly done.. site done.. time for release. It was after we were about ready to release that LG announced Lollipop was being officially released this week. I honestly thought it was a few more weeks away.

everything was in the best interest of the community.. we(Team Codefire and friends..) see a whole lot more than what presents itself on XDA and we wanted to make sure everything was done correctly and the best it could be. In the end here we are with great AOSP roms working on day 1 of release... Lollipop is here.. the site hasn't crashed... it's all good :victory:

there's been lots of haters and trolls throughout all of this... from the negativity that an "unlock" would never happen... to we ran off with the money... to we don't care about the community... to Bump's not coming out for 4 months now... to Bump is dead... to G3 development is dead... what it comes down to is people being entitled and being used to getting what they want when they want it and only thinking about themselves.

Many of them are the same people that would complain if Bump got patched too early... or AOSP sucked cuz the camera or GPS wasn't working yet... or whatever else. I've noticed that many of the haters(not everyone) played no part in the bounty or donations.. they were just so bored with life all they could do was get angry at people taking their free time to help an entire community. How dare we not cater to their demands... for free(thank you to ALL donators... but the bounty payout was FAR BELOW the total.. so please don't anyone think we're rich. And if it were about the money we would have gotten a different job).

Trolls will be trolls.. haters will be haters.. they cannot be reasoned with nor will I even attempt to convert any of their opinions.

So ya.. I'm not sure if any of this is enough to make someone rage because to me it was common sense from the start... why did we wait to release Bump? Because we know best :cool:
