[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I just have to say one thing here about this whole leak thing...

It was entrusted to me. I didn't give it to others, not because of pride or because of anything other than following the wishes of the person who gave it to me asking me not to release it. I followed their wishes and gave it only to those I thought I could trust. Apparently I was wrong. Us being on the internet does not give us the right to say 'oh well, it was out there, it would have been leaked anyways'. I am somebody who is true to my word and is honest. Unfortunately many people questioned that today. The truth of it is, is that people have been inconsiderate of my feelings and other developers felt that the best way they could compete was to put this out there. This was a very dishonest and dirty way to do it. Sure, it would have happened eventually. My intention was actually to put it out there to more devs today. I had been contacting more people I thought I could trust, but before I could do it I started getting accused of being a liar and egotistical and just about everything.

Again, this was not ever about me. Unfortunately others thought it was. However, I'm still here. I am going strong. It is unfortunate that another developer decided the best way they could compete was to do something dirty. If you are okay with what happened, or don't care, that's fine with me. The whole point was that this person betrayed me and this community, and it's hard to show everyone that when they got something like this.

There is no debate about whether you should leak something if someone gives it to you. That is possibly the dumbest thing I ever heard! I mean come on. Is it really worth releasing to everyone if it gets somebody fired? I was entrusted to it and I really took care of that. And then it got destroyed. This may mean nothing to a lot of you, but it means a lot to me. This means that other ROM leaks that I may have gotten will no longer be possible because of what this developer did.

Also, if you don't believe me about my accusations, you don't have to take my word for it! That's the WONDERFUL thing. You can PM any mod on this board and they will be able to tell you. I was notified that my thread was put into a special forum where the mods are looking it over. This isn't something that is being discussed! This is cold, hard fact. And you don't have to take my word for it. You can believe those calling me a liar, or you can listen to the people who really know about it: the moderators of this very forum.

Of course said dev will deny it. What do you really expect? If you plan to support him, that's great. I don't really care. I actually trusted this developer with a lot. I gave him RUU first thing when I got it. He made me promises he failed to keep. He let down the community because he decided to give this out and make me lose credibility. So if you think it won't affect you, think again!

To clear up the rumors about me leaving: I'm not sure yet. I am still thinking everything over. I have been hurt a lot today by a lot of people. Accused of crap that didn't happen. I can't believe the conspiracies that have come out just because I am trying to protect someone's job and wishes. However, I don't want to let the haters get their way either because I do believe that they are a majority. And I believe that quitting would be giving in to said developer. But we'll see.

Anyways, that's all I have to say about the matter. Case closed.
