I'm actually a professional software developer.

The Hero community here, as it is, I would never contribute to, because I wouldn't want my work included into someone elses rom that they then take donations for (I would never ask for donations for my work) especially since there seems to be no pioneering development going on by themselves.

So I see feeyo as someone like me, but with a drive to get things working on the hero.

In my eyes he is a bit like a vigilante or I guess like Batman. What Batman does is illegal too you know.

Sometimes there is such thing as the lesser of two evils and the greater good.

He harmed no one doing what he did.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] plonkersaurus:
Cyanogenmod roms change a lot more things than just needed to get android working properly and I'm not a huge fan of all the changes
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
1... Switch to another ROM, or stick with what you have, they are your two options.

2... No, other devs do not have a "donators only beta testing section", and regardless if they did or not, I think you need to go and re-read all the info the mods have given about the GPL issue before adding your 2 pence worth.

3... I owe feeyo nothing. He may have produced ROMS, but contribute to the community he did not.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hacre:
Hahaha what. Being a developer doesn't mean you "get" the point of the GPL. Plenty of developers over at Microsoft don't "get" it. That doesn't make it any less valid.

In fact your entire post just screams "I do not understand open source development, what on Earth is wrong with people doing stuff themselves and hoarding it".

The "pioneering development" as you put it doesn't happen by individuals because it happens in groups. You know, lots of minds working towards a common goal.

Jesus on a bike. :rolleyes:

EDIT: woah..

I missed this when I first read the OP. Hahaha no he wasn't. Battery life has to be one of the most done to death topics on these forums and do you know what? Your battery life is solely dependent on you the phone user, providing of course the developer or the cooker hasn't done something utterly retarded to the ROM that causes battery to run down.

Until Froyo was released, Cronos wasn't even a compiled ROM it was a precompiled Sense ROM and as such subject to all the whims of the HTC base that the rest of us were.

Oh and I don't owe him anything. Never used his ROM, never benefited from what he apparently gave back to the community (nothing). He owed me and whomever else asked him for it, source code, which happened to be the one thing he never once provided while being happy to make use of source code provided by others.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] plonkersaurus:
I didn't mention GPL anywhere in my post.

I mentioned that I wouldn't help this community due to the fact people would be accepting donations for what would be in part my work which I think is immoral.

That is what my post was about.

Plus I think you will find Linus wrote Linux by himself so individuals are capable of greatness.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hacre:
Re check your history. Linus did not write Linux by himself. He wrote the first kernel by himself. Linux wasn't truly born until he released it along with the source code and people started fixing it, writing drivers for it and writing coreutils/toolchains around it. It didn't approach anything like popular until it got x86 support and the kernel reached a level of maturity in the 2.0.x releases. Collaborative development/debugging. It's an amazing thing. Stunted quickly by the "I will not share" attitude that you're defending and supporting.

I am genuinely curious as to how you can guarantee that people will receive donations for your work. Or why you'd even care. My kernel source tree is used by others, I don't lose a wink of sleep over whether they get donations for their finished ROM or not, it doesn't matter.

Donations are just that, donations. They are not a fee. They are not someone taking someone else's work and then charging for it. They're something that an individual feels that they want to give to someone out of the kindness of their hearts as a thank you as well as the fact that donations are quite a rarity.

I got my first donation today. It'll buy me a few beers. It won't make me rich. I got it for my work on the kernel and my work on the Villain 2.2 ROMs. Have a guess how many people at Villain are now pissy that I got a donation and not the project itself. None. Have a guess how many GNU developers are now hand wringing themselves with pure fret because some guy got bought a beer for some work he did on their code. None.

You didn't have to mention the GPL in your post. The GPL is why these ridiculous threads keep springing up, it was the GPL and the failure to adhere to it, that got Feeyo canned.

People with your attitude toward community development have no place on these forums. Kindly take the door that has a Feeyo shaped hole in it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
If you don't want to share then Android is not for you.

And why the big deal about asking for donations. Its not free to run a site. And a donation is hardly mandatory, the clue is in the name, no-one was bent over and forced to do anything they never wanted to.

I have used Villain on and off since Feb and haven't donated a penny.

.... and Batman? Really? Yes he makes the decisions that no one else can, for the greater good, the bigger picture... he doesn't play hero just to boost his own ego.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] plonkersaurus:
Ok, so you never used his rom. I did and it was leagues ahead of anything else at the time. It made our phones really usable with 2.1. I remember when it was first released it was in the top 5 threads for a week on the front page of xda so I'm sure I wasn't the only one to experience this.

Also, sometimes it's the way you ask for something. I never once saw you ask for the source code with a view to work with him on it, only to get access to it. I know you are going to spout GPL rules now but I would rather not provide them knowing they will be taken over and most likely I would not be included in development in a "team" way, and rather take the punishment when it came of being banned.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hacre:
My first four or five requests were incredibly polite. There were a plethora of polite request the first time he pulled this stunt too. My reason for asking was irrelevant. However my reason for asking for those particular sources, were twofold:

1: I didn't believe it.

2: If it was true then the community should damn well get access to it so we as a group can get it up to full working order so that EVERY ROM DEVELOPER can make use of it.

Taken over? What? I now don't believe that you're a developer, at least nothing outside pointing and clicking in a GUI based programming tool in some office somewhere, because you clearly have no idea of what collaborative development is. You cannot shut anyone, ANYONE, out of a GPL project, that's the whole frigging point. See my signature? Source code. Source code anyone can take and modify. Source code people are welcome to change, fix, port, patch and if they want to, submit a pull request so I can merge those fixes in.

Click the link. Follow the fork tree. Observe the magic as my changes move upstream to the original cyanogenmod + Hero kernel. Observe further magic as changes they make merge their way down into my kernel. Yeah I/we are really all about shutting people out. :rolleyes:

Stop trolling.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
You might be right, maybe they wouldn't have let him be in the team, maybe they would have. Who cares, they would have had to credit it to him either way, just as they credit help from other developers now.

The main point is that he wasn't willing to help push things forward. He wanted all the spotlight for himself.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] plonkersaurus:
I think the problem here is your attitude, you seem to think you own the place. I am free to stay here as I wish as far as I know. I also don't believe you are reading my posts correctly as you seem to think I am against community programming which is further from the truth.

I never said I wouldn't share. I wouldn't share with you. I think community programming is great all things being equal. It seems to me that the hero community here is terrible right now and thus I wouldn't help it.

Getting people banned definitely isn't making you friends either. I honestly never saw you wanting to work with feeyo only to get at his work.

I would have no problem helping out trying to get android to work on the Xperia X1 and supplying my source code as that is a true example of people working together.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] plonkersaurus:
That's not what I mean by shutting people out. I'm not trolling but replying to your false accusations.

You are also trying to personally discredit me by calling me a point and click GUI programmer which is below the belt. You know nothing about me.

What I mean is, working together as these roms are virtually the same project is about communicating. Something that would not have happened and does in a real collaborative effort.

I'm sick of this thread and having to defend myself because you fail to understand what working together really means. And no it's not just following rules. It's obvious you aren't a professional programmer. People skills and management are just as important as being able to program and that is the point I am trying to get at.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
I think you've formed your opinion and regardless of how many times Hacre blows your point out of the water, your not going to be swayed are you. He shouldn't even have to explain himself to you, every point had been covered in the other fan threads already.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] plonkersaurus:
Honestly he hasn't even tackled my point.

Since this thread has turned into this, which is not what it was meant to turn into, all I want him to see is that even though rules are rules, that working together is much more than just source code.

Programmers are human beings with egos, no one is perfect.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
But he doesn't have to "see" anything. He is not responsible for Feeyo being banned, that was his own doing, and neither is he to blame for Feeyo taking his own site down like a spoilt child. If Feeyo was in it for the satisfaction and to benefit the end users then he would have complied to the requests made by both devs and mods here.

Why do you all look at Feeyo through rose tinted glasses?? Like he refused just to prove some kind of point.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stericson:
Thread Closed.

The decision that XDA has made is the decision that XDA has made.

Further discussion about said decision has no merit and thereby I will be closing threads relating to this as I see fit.

As for what you should do now that your rom is not supported? Go get a different one. If the actual site for Feeyo's ROM hadn't been taken down you could get support there but it seems that it is gone now.
[HD2 General] hemz:
hello am kinda new to all this, i'm trying to install HSPL 3 so i can flash my hd2 with a rom.

I have it Synced with My Computer. I have t-mobile usaHTC HD2. I open up HSPL3 thing. Press next. And its says its trying to connect via USB. stays stuck on that, then gives me an error message?

what am i doing wrong?

I HAVE 2.10.000 on my phone i just bought it. CAN I STILL flash my phone to get a custom rom????
[HD2 General] hemz:
anybody please, 2.10 i hear there is nothing out yet for 2.10 ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
for hspl... (yes it supports 2.10.0000, , dont forget that much of what you are reading was written before hspl3 was released)

1 - dont use a front mounted usb port, use one around back of the pc, directly connected to teh motherboard, not through a hub or case mounted ports.

2 - be sure and right click hspl.exe and choose 'run as administrator

3 - boot into bootloader yourself (start with phone off, press and hold and keep holding vol down, tap and release power, , when get to coloured screen, release vol down, , thats bootloader, ,) connect to usb, when the word 'serial' becomes 'usb' run hspl (as administrator)

keep trying usb ports.

if you are trying to use a virtual box, for example on a mac, , , dont.

oh, and be sure to extract hspl.exe, dont run it from within the .zip file.
[HD2 General] hemz:
thanks sam i got it, i love you.. now just gotta flash to get the rom
[HD2 General] hemz:
sam hows it going? how do i install cookie tab? you can't flash it?
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Cookies tab is a cab file which can be found in my sticky. And directions on how to install the cab can also be found in my sticky.
[HD2 General] hemz:
i still don't understand? help please
[HD2 General] hemz:
i dont know what to do with the cab? i'm so confused? mm? sam? anyone?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
cookies is a program, not a rom, so no, you don't flash it.

copy cookies.cab to your phone, browse to it in your phones file manager, click it to run it.
[HD2 General] hemz:
i added it but i cant seem to see it on file manager? mm is their a specific place?
[HD2 General] hemz:
got it thanks.

It was installed successfully, but after that whenever I connect my HTC to my PC, I can hear the ding but my PC is not recognizing my device and there is no connected icon on the HTC as well.

Any help please...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:

put in a different sim, and it will ask for an unlock code. type it in and your unlocked.

get the unlock code off of a seller on ebay called express-codes.

Hey guys, I just downgraded from CM 6 to CM 5.0.7. Everything seems to be working perfectly, only my battery is draining quicker than usual. What's the best solution to solve this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenmcneal83:
I rooted my vibrant (sooooo easy) a few days ago and had a audio jack problem before any rooting. I exchanged the phone today and tried rooting the new one and holding the volume and powers keys is not taking me to recovery. I've already downloaded some root only apps before rooting to be ahead of schedule. Could those apps be stopping me from getting to recovery mode? I'm definitel a noob. Help is greatly appreciated.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gleemer:
I had the same issue but took mine back for an exchange. I could get into recovery and download mode via ADB but for the life of my could not do it without. Kind of worried me in case I could not get the phone to but up, ADB would be worthless. New handset works fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shootr:
I would exchange it. If you have a problem during a flash with Odin, adb won't be able to communicate with your Vibrant and you'll be hosed. I would check the HW boot to recovery first thing in the store. Too many Galaxies are having problems with this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani01c:
how do i boot into recovery in with this method?? ive tried so hard and my vibrant will never enter recovery nor download mode! if you can give me a link to a tutorial or anything that can make me do it ill thank you so much.. ive been rooting everyones vibrants and installing different roms but cant do it on mine! please help!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
So I have been thinking about how to write, how to install instructions. Some people can just extract the flashable zip folder, while others (myself included) have to flash it.

INSTALL​

You can try one of two ways......... Extract the zip file, go to the sub folder /system/app, and install the "LatinIME.apk; or reboot into recovery and flash the zip file. Also, after I flashed the first time.... I wanted to delete it. So, I used adb commands. Now I can just install from memory card. I think once you get the file located in /system/lib in to /system/lib on the phone..... you can just delete the keyboard using adb commands, then just install from sd

CREDIT for the port goes to invisiblek. I have made the vibration stronger and fix the & key every where it is neeeded to be fixed. Also i have to thank zack.xtr for helping me with the 2.1 version. With his help I could do it by myself this time around. O yeah, I have to say thank you to bmtdan for pointing me to zack.xtr's post.:D

Even though it shows ". ," on the period key, it will NOT make a comma on a double tap. I had updates some xml documents, to see if they controlled this behavior. Turns out they only control what was displayed on the key.

Just list it under it. thought more people would like Hitchhikers version, but numbers don't lie. IF anyone can help me find an Android icon (with a white outline around him), I will make an Android "Hitchhikers"version would look sweet.Best size would be 48x48 to 50x50.

None pressed key color

alt key etc color (of the keys like alt, settings/symbols, smiley/go/next/etc key)

dot for alt lock color

pop up key color

letter color

suggestion bar color I think, from doing them custom colors..... it's better left untouched. But, if you insist.. I will

suggestion bar letter colors-one for recommended word and for regular word

if you want any fading of the colors let me know or blending of 2 colors

also, if you need a flashable zip or if an .apk will do.

NEW I'm finding some good icons for a lot of stuff,so want one.......... ask for one (football team, baseketball team, baseball team, etc....) would help if you provided it. But if I can find one, I will do it

Last thing lol......... For requested themes, they will be scattered through out this thread. Since a personal one I made for you it will have its own post, lost in the thread lol.
