[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nitr8:
mark.doe,

You seem pretty new on the scene, a small group of people have been following me from day one. I have seen people come and people go.

From the beginning I have stated if you don’t like it don’t use it, it’s simple really…… I am not forcing anyone to use this…

Well to be honest here, I suspect everyone will need an updates.zip to add / remove things from the default rom, so this statement is not quite correct, as all he needs to do is place NetworkLocation.apk in the update template I provided, and he has stock insanity with NetworkLocation.apk.

OK, I don’t care who you are, or what you give me, this is MY ROM and I will do with it as I please… it’s called a donation, and not a salary, if you pay me a salary you can dictate to me what I should and should not do, however saying that, my current boss, a director still does not tell me what to do but asks me my advice and listens, and understands. Also, the donations make me feel a little appreciated, but I do not do it for the money. The donations have totalled up to about 4 hours of my current salary, and do you know how may days I have spent on this ROM? Countless…

What’s stopping you? I do this for fun, not a living.. I have a life too, I don’t want to make addon packs all day, and test them each day. Can you imagine the updates required when something gets released? Also I do not ship apps without the devs consent, I always ask for their permission, and I am not going to do that for what you propose below.

again, just use an update-script with the rom to remove unwanted apk and or delete them from the rom prior to flashing

My point exactly, Email Stuff, so take me for example, I am a heavy email user, email is my job, I cannot use k9 it simply does not cut it for me. I think what you refer to as “rubbish Email” is the best client for exchange out there period. So what do I do now? Have “Email Stuff” and “Email Stuff2” oh ok but then I don’t use APG so I need “Email Stuff – with APG”, “Email Stuff 2 with APG“,“Email Stuff – without APG”, “Email Stuff 2 without APG“, ok 3 days later I release a new rom and notice, k9 has been updated, so now I need to update 3 ROMS, Full – wipe/no wipe & update + cumulative update + 4 email addons… It takes me about 30 min to release a new version today, after the ROM has been built and fully tested, Updating posts updating manifest cleaning up old links etc. Oh we haven’t mentioned testing yet….. who is going to test this all for me now? I spend about 2/3 hours a day without a phone as its down while I flash.. flash.. flash… I was planning on using the donation money to buy me a second galaxy just so I can have a usable phone 100% of the time and one just for insanity testing but looking at the amount of downloads compared to the number of donations less than 0.4% of people thank me, if there was just .99 for each download I would be able to buy more than 10 Galaxys but as stated, I don’t do it for the money…

why not use docs kitchen? Sounds perfect for the job

what you classify as bloatware I don’t, and what I classify as bloatware user b does not agree with you and I.

that’s what I do, but I am not stripping it so its unsuible for me, else I might as well not carry on, because I do not benefit from anything by developing a ROM that I don’t use, I think that’s pretty stupid….

OK, so I develop a ROM you want, and what you say, but who is to say, your right and that I am not? Or user b thinks he is also right, none of us are, as stated above this would be useless for me as I would then not use this ROM.

I think that if I am not heading in the direction you want me to I am sorry I really am, however, I believe that I released this ROM for others to benefit from it and my belief at the beginning is to release my rom as I use it and not give in to individuals dictating to me what to do in the rom I use..

I release this ROM as what I use, I don’t see the point of releasing a ROM I do not use… I am happy to make you a bare-bones ROM but I will not be running it, so will not be providing quick fixes and updates when I see it. So for now I think I will carry on with the way and route insnanity is going because until you came up with this, it seemed to suite everyone just fine. I do not want the most famous rom, nor do I want to attract everyone as this ROM is not intended for the newbie, its targeted at the more experienced user, who can use their own addon-pack to remove / add apps they want / don’t want.

If I change the way that insanity goes, it’s pointless, as that is the reason I released it, if someone benefits from it great, but this is my ROM that I use on a day to day basis.

If you all think that this is the route Insanity is meant to go BARE BONES with jack ****, tell me.. I am more than happy to hand the reins over to someone else, and carry on like I used to in the old days, just use the ROM for myself….. not release it.

That’s my thoughts….
