Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.06 | Now with DCUpdater/Other tools! | Android 2.1

you are 100% correct. but, I feel certain member should be banned for their deceptions, not rewarded with the opportunity to advertise their roms that redirect to a web site asking for donations via paypal. do you not feel the same way?? most people seem to have the mindset of as long as I get a new Rom screw everyone else. that is how a community eventually falls, not succeeds.

So now it's come to users calling out other users for how they choose to respond to this incident? This is exactly why I just said this isn't the proper place for airing this stuff. I "stand" with damages by using his ROM and making a donation (which I did). Just because I (or anyone else) am not calling out someone in this forum, doesn't make my support any less right than yours.

I have Flipz PRI on my phone, how do I get rid of it. I cant find the PRI zip anywhere. any suggestions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Oops, double post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Truth.

The reason it's so important is the amount of control a rom dev has over the software that runs on your phone when you choose to run his release.

A rom includes very low level files, including the OS kernel itself. It would be a trivial matter for a rom dev to include malicious code in the rom, and not terribly difficult to hide it in a manner that it was unlikely to be found. A malicious dev could build himself a nice collection of your passwords, banking info, credit card info, copies of all your text messages, etc...

Anything and everything you do on your phone can be collected by a rom dev if they are the sort of person to do that sort of thing.

I think people deserve to know if a dev is untrustworthy.

This is not AT ALL an unimportant issue that should just be "let go".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
They can advertise all they want. I'm going to use what I use, and right now that is Damages ROM. I don't know for a FACT that Flipz leaked it, so I'm not going to perpetuate something I don't know. If it WAS him, then HE has to live with that. Like I said in another post, what is done in darkness will come to light. And there are consequences to our actions. As far as banning goes, I'll trust the mods to do what they think is in the best interest of the forum. I'm not going to try to be the police here. If I disagree with how they moderate things, since it's their site I can continue to come here or move on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Thats because nobody believes in personal responsibility anymore, its just do whatever you like and the hell with everyone else. Well, flipz made his bed and has to lie in it. I think everyone should be aware of his treachery and act accordingly. I have deleted all his ROM's and his newest Kitchen (although it didn't work anyways). I rest comfortably knowing that he will get his, maybe not right away, but someday this will come back to bite him very hard...........................
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MRagu:
I would love to hear from Damage to confirm if it was Flipz .... If it was I will be done with his stuff as well! I would really appreciate a confirmation on who it was. I'm sure there is alot of members who would like to know who the untrustworthy person is whether it hurts the community or not. I myself would rather XDA lose a untrustworthy Dev then have his untrustworthy Rom running on my phone.

WIth all due respect, this is a forum and I don't know ANYONE here personally. For all I know, any of these ROMs could be doing damage. It's up to ME to protect my personal information.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
I never intended to call you out. Nothing of the sort.

As far as whether this is the "proper" way to handle it, what would you suggest? This is a message board, there aren't really many options besides posting opinions about the issue.

Taking it up with the moderators isn't a great solution, since this is information that people have a right to be made aware of before putting this guys software on their phones. Handling the matter "privately" and "discreetly" does not accomplish that. IMHO, the information needs to be made as widely available as possible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Agreed for the most part. If someone shows they can't be trusted, I won't trust them. As you said, I can choose not to run their product on my phone. Whether they are run off or not is a job for the mods to decide.

Anyone get this email?

I flashed the DamageControl V2.06 yesterday. Everything went smoothly. Then I had a weird email from the Android Team at Google this morning in my Gmail account associated with setting up my phone. I am curious if anyone else has received the same email. I am wondering if part of the ROM incorporates programming from the Nexus ROM and thus created the automated response from Google. Here is a copy of what I received:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
No problem, it's all good. As far as the proper way? Not sure, but how it's gone down to this point just doesn't feel right. I agree information should be available so people can make informed decisions, but at some point enough is enough. I guess I would make a distinction between how information is presented. For instance, you are very rational in your approach even though you may be very angry with what happened. Because I see you as taking a rational approach, I'm okay with you putting info out. However, some seem to be putting information out with the purpose of being vindictive. That accomplishes nothing in my opinion, and is no better than what the initial perpetrator did. Hope that makes sense to you.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Makes perfect sense.

I have no intention of being vindictive, but I've been working in IT since the mid 80s. I know very, very well how easy it is to do some really nasty **** when you have root access to low-level system files on a computer (and these phones are nothing more than miniaturized computers).

For example, I did some work for a company several years ago, and they never bothered to wipe my user account when I was done. I haven't set foot in their offices for over 4 years, but to this day I could still log in and read every last email on their server if I chose to do so. If I wanted to be really nasty I could even forge emails that appeared to come from company employees and severely harm their business. And that's just with access that I legitimately have.

Most people don't realize what's possible, and how trivially easy it would be for a dev to capture everything they do on their phone. Whether I personally believe that the particular dev in question would so something like that is irrelevant. The fact is that they could, and it wouldn't be hard.

With a little thought and planning, a malicious rom dev can do A WHOLE LOT MORE than trash your phone. They could get access to your bank accounts and wipe you out.

If one of them makes it clear that they can't even be trusted to keep a few pieces of pre-release software to themselves, then I think people need to be made aware of that before flashing his software on their phones.

Especially newcomers to the forum who may have missed out on the initial drama. Does somebody deserve to become an identity theft victim just because they don't find this forum until a few weeks from now when the drama has died down?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I expect to have some themes up and going within a week or so.

Anyone who has created a theme and would like it to be put on the theme server, please PM me.

I am also working with some other devs to get an OTA updater app on their ROMs. Seems to be a pretty popular request so I will work with other ROMs to get this going ASAP.

If you couldn't tell, I have decided to stick around for now. The dust has settled for the most part. We know who did it and if you choose not to support that developer, that's up to you. I personally am done with it. I know who I can't trust now and will do my best to not let stuff like that bother me. What's done is done.

I still have plenty of ideas and plans for the future, so here's to a brighter one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ceger:
I don't know who the dev is. I hear Flipz, but whomever it is, has anyone considered it might have been just a huge misunderstanding. Sure the result was very poor and trust was lost between some devs here, but in hind sight, it could have just been a bad mistake that kept perpetuating itself.

Most of the major devs on this subforum have contributed greatly, and some of them, such as Damage and Flipz are always the first to respond quickly with not only fixes, but better than expected mods.

I fnd it funny how so many people here just seem out for blood, especially today praising Damage as the best, when only a week ago people were saying he was horrible because he released a Rom with little testing that he had said was 100% working and was not.

Everyone can make a mistake, but it is a strong community that tries to understand what went wrong first and how it got that way and then move forward to try to correct it in a healthy manner. Calling for blood is no different than what I said in my earlier rant; too many act like spoiled children that feel the are entitled to every little thing.

How about we all take a step back and continue to concentrate on what ROM and mods best suit our needs, and support those devs and modders around them. Let's not focus on the negative and instead try to better understand what went down and how and try to understand it from all sides and offer up how to minimize or eliminate it from happening again.

Important edit: Damage, I am not trying to belittle what the situation means to you, just trying to refocus people and not fan the flames that can tear us all apart.

Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.06 | Now with DCUpdater/Other tools! | Android 2.1

another poster basically saying we should bow down to flipz dishonesty and kiss his azz. roms with bugs or releasing something to the public with someone's job on the line are 2 totally different situations. if you think they are the same maybe you should go too.

I got nothing for you buddy.

damage we got your back 100%, well, some of us do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
There's a big difference between misphrasing (works 100%, no bugs, etc) and purposely releasing info that was confidential and could possibly cost someone their livelyhood out of spite. It is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ceger:
Agreed, as I said, the end result was horrible and put many things up in the air. What I was wondering was if it was purposefully malicious or circumstances that got out of control with not the intended result. Also, I didn't see anything 100% identifying the dev in question.

My main point was to move forward and work through this, trying to make sure it doesn't happen again in a different manner through a different situation, but with same negatively ending result. The best result for us all is a solid community with best ROMs, support and dev/mod/user interactions.

Regardless, Damage is one of 3 main ROM devs I follow, so I look forward to whatever Damage does next.

Another (pain in the ass) option is to nandroid your current install >> install the official RUU using the .exe installer. This upgrades the PRI to 2.10_003 >> Then you can update your PRL to 60663 >> Then you have to manually push flash_image to /system/bin >> You have to give flash_image permissions

adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image

>> Root and reflash recovery (use this guide, except substitute 1.6.2 instead of 1.5.2 recovery>> Then reboot into recovery and nandroid back to your original build. You can even nandroid back to Fresh 2.0d and you will retain your new PRI.

I did send a bug report in to Damageless him self, but was wondering if anyone else is having this and a possible work around.
