We all know and love task, a very giving individual who was mistreated in the threads and very underminded by one particular individual, personally I miss task, I would love to have him back over on the T-Mobile threads, without all the Greif surrounding his departure, so I ask you all, help me get back one of the most beloved and badass developers of the galaxy threads

Just flash his I9505 ROMs.
I've seen the way he handles his threads, while he does not have to share his work.. he could be nicer about it, and if he sees a useless post, instead of replying to it, he could report it. It goes both ways, to be honest.
I actually saw his ROM and didn't flash it simply because I saw the way he handled the thread.
PS: I have the utmost respect for all devs, they do things for free because they enjoy it and love sharing. So more power to him and I appreciate the work he and any other dev does. I'm not bashing him, just saying it wasn't only the member's fault. It goes both ways.

He builds for at&t not i9505. While some don't like the way he runs his threads, I can kind of see where the guy is coming from when people post completely irrelevant things in his threads. Although he could be a bit nicer about things or simply ignore them, it must be frustrating having to sift through all of the off topic stuff to find comments related to development. I never got to flash his roms, but after looking at the at&t thread it would definitely be nice to see him bring builds to our device...lol

Ah, that's where I saw it! My apologies for the confusion.
And yeah, I mean the more ROMs we have here, the better. I was just throwing my thoughts out. A lot of people are just asking questions.. while they may have already been answered, if people are going to put the effort into replying, might as well reply with something helpful like a link to the original answer or something. I mean, that's what I'd do. But like I said, I don't mean to start a war or anything, its his ROMs, his threads, etc.
PS: I say this to anyone who says "its already been answered" or "search" etc.. if you have enough time to post that, then simply help the guy out. We've all been noobs and we know what its like to be scared sh**less because we think we broke something.
Why doesn't some one just run a thread for him? That way he has nothing to deal with. Post his op, maintain the OP, but have say the op of this thread maintain it?
I know plenty of Devs that do that. Illusion rom by mikeramsey for instance. All the dude wants is to build a badass rom. He'll officially support a device but he doesn't run the thread. Metropcs s3 is a perfect example. He official supports it and puts out official builds for it, but the thread at AF is 100% official, the builds are 100% by Mike, but he's not the op nor participates in it nor maintains it.

Did you remove the updater script build prop asserts and flash a T-Mobile kernel? I think that should work...
Good luck guys. In my opinion he runs a one man show and he can have a little attitude if he wants to. I have seen too many people who don't know what they are doing and jump to wrong conclusions... this one guy said that tasks rom bricked his device and he was demanding money or something.... outrageous.

It most likely will, bud.
Just make sure to flash a T-Mobile kernel after. (Before rebooting)
Honestly you can run his att rom on tmobile, just flash a working kernel for tmobile.
I dont mind maintaining the thread. I run my thread the way i run it can check out my minions thread to see how i dwell in it.
End of the day it is all up to task, while I may have different opinion on how he run his thread but it is still a good rom. I believe every developer run their threads based on experience...so I am 100% sure task have a reason for how he run his threads and something had occur in his past that allows him to justify what he does. I always say if you dont like how an op run their threads, do not bother posting in it. If you cannot get anyone to help you with troubles, do not bother flashing it...it is that simple. And if you are going to post in the thread you SHOULD know what kind of response you will get from task base on your question and if you foreesee it to be something that will piss you off...just dont post. Just as he can ignore 90% of the useless craps he chooses to reply to the users can also not post 90% of the useless craps they choose to post. XDA is about learning, not babysitting.

I've noticed a lot of the download sites have been sucking lately, so I thought sharing the ROMS as torrents would be a good way to remedy the situation.
I will start out with a few and hope to build in the coming days. If any of the versions I put up need updating, please point that out as it'll be hard to keep track of myself further down the line. Also, feel free to throw out suggestions of anything you want to see up here.
If you are not familiar with torrents, look here: http://www.utorrent.com/help/guides/beginners-guide
Essentially download utorrent, install it, and open the .torrent file I posted with the utorrent program. It will then download the file directly from me and anyone else who is sharing the file.
Make sure all proper ports are forwarded and that you have DHT and local peer discovery enabled in utorrent.
You may also download directly to your phone using an app such as ttorrent (pro version recommended) for android. Just open the .torrent file using the ttorrent app on your phone.
Oh, and one last thing. SEED SEED SEED!
You better get the dev's permission first or you might inadvertently upset them. I learned this the hard way. Just passing on the advice.
I for one think this is a great idea. just make sure to ask the devs first to make sure noones toes are being stepped on. but great idea man.

That's how the internet works. If someone makes something available for mass consumption, the more mirrors the better. How many legit files/links out there are gone forever thanks to megaupload disappearing?

Well that may be so, but some things it's better to ask out of respect. Plus, Jerdog (the moderator for this section) said he thought it wouldn't be a problem with xda "staff". He did say that you should get the dev's permission first.
I asked a dev about helping out and never got a reply so I didn't post it.
You can be a **** about it or you could use some etiquette. Wiki's explanation of it is
Rules of etiquette encompass most aspects of social interaction in any society, though the term itself is not commonly used. A rule of etiquette may reflect an underlying ethical code, or it may reflect a person's fashion or status. Rules of etiquette are usually unwritten, but aspects of etiquette have been codified from time to time.

I usualy find any rom on Emuparidise or RomWorld(two best rom sites)And if you cant find them there RomHustler or CoolRom,these two are heavy on advertisements but sometimes have what others dont.For ps3 games got to PS3iso which has almost every psn-ps3 game.I dont own 360 so I cant tell you where to get games for it.

You mean for the different modems and stock roms? I just tried but I can't get any of those. Seems like multiupload is totally down. If you have all those files somewhere you can easily create torrents yourself. Its just a matter of having that spare bandwidth to front the first couple peers.

Before you flash, make sure you download the rotation fix and have it ready to flash after the rom. Or just turn off auto rotation.

No, i believe it has to do with the script support needed to flash CM9, which often possesses a larger kernel than stock images.
Just wanted to say thanks to the guys who are working on this. Just got my GSII a few days ago and was dismayed to find there were no good touchwiz free options for me, and then just in time this cm9 port went up.
I can't use my camera for now, and I'm afraid to turn off my gps, but it's a small price to pay for you guys all putting so much work in to exactly the rom that I wanted. I'll be sticking with this rom and donating to keep development going. Thanks guys.

Someone posted a work-a-round in the Dev section of CM9 about this. Someone else confirmed it worked for them. They said when in non-touch CWR to unmount then remount the cache partition. Then flash the SuperWipe script, then flash the ROM. They created an issue for it here: http://code.google.com/p/hercskycm/issues/detail?id=20 I would head over to the DEV section and read what they posted about it before doing it though.
I think that's the route I'm going to take since I'm still a little unsure about using 'touch' just yet.

Which touch version are you using? I'm about ready to make the leap. I've just become so familiar with the standard recovery. I'm leaning towards the version you pay a couple bucks for through ROM Manager. Even though I've never used ROM Manager for anything. But I've heard it's okay to upgrade or flash your recovery through ROM Manager though?

You can either flash the rom manager version or odin it. Thats the one I am using. Although a new version from team win just came out for my skyrocket and ill probably give that one a try.

Ok, I don't know much but hopefully they get this solved I really like his ROM..
Why? He just updates his rom more commonly (all 800mb+) and breaks things a lot and steals others hard work without asking, or giving credit to them. (Allegedly), with proof, of course. I say use Frosty or Evil with the available themes in the themes and apps section. Xquizits roms always seemed okay... but too many broken things caused by pointless updates that are way too huge and should only require a seperate flashable 20mb zip.

What sucks is that none posted a reason being closed. I think the community should know what's up. I think he thanked enough as he could on he's OP. If he missed someone then I personally would say sorry but he is awesome Dev. and if he missed someone, he's only human and forget what he put in your work sometimes.
I hope this gets resolved or at least someone explain why it's closed.

Yes I agree, I have been with his ROM since I stopped using MIUI and yesterday I was lossed when I saw the message stating that I was closed. I am hoping everything works out for him as well
There's a deference in using someones work and saying thanks to them, or giving credit, and stealing there work without asking and claiming it to be your own. Pretty much being a thief... If people were to donate to him cause of his rom that is wrongfully going to the person. EvilArt created hidden code and such in his work and he posted that XquiziT was using it in his roms and not giving credit. Other's have mentioned this as well about his roms. It's sad and sucks and I hope there was just some confusion, but evidence is evidence.
Another one gone because of freaking drama...
"From Wild himself"
Soap Box
Yes I used the word "Wicked" in my Rom but nothing else. Wanam's 15 toggle code is where that word
came from a compare I did when my mod was fc'ing. I have done all my own mods why would I use Wicked's and the SystemUI.apk at that. Nothing special about that file and prob 85% or more of the S3 Roms are the same mods and would compare except the word "Wicked" that yes I included.
Anyway I will keep doing Roms for myself but will no longer be a part of XDA. Not because of XDA, because of what goes on there.
Thanks for all who supported me but as I have said before I take no donations as this is my fun and learning experience.
Thanks!

Well that sucks. I like Wild's ROMs and he may have took others work, but hell....the same code floats around from DEV to DEV anyway.
SN: Wicked ROM is actually pretty nice. I tried it once it was proven that Wild was stealing code from Evil. I think Wicked ROM needs inverted apps though. They make the ROMs like so much more classier!
Anyway, thanks Wild for all of your work and efforts. You put a lot of time into updating your ROMs and I'm sad to see you go bro.

so this is a LEGIT port of sense 5 to our galaxy devices (d2...)
and CNexus has started the port
if you can, go to that thread and help CNexus port
I already ported. I am waiting on a response from him to see if I can post it here.
Also, asking for a ROM to be ported, does not constitute development. Please read before making any threads, particularly in a dev forum.
Edit, looks like it got moved.
We really don't need a port, We just need to edit the build.prop so it show's as our t999 s3. But a nice shiny page with updates on our forum would be nice.

I was just going by what he said in his post. "Note 2 (haha, note 2): If you were linked here and have one of the carrier versions of the S3, then you CAN flash this without any risks or issues (without any additional risks or issues as if a Sprint user were flashing), as the partitions and specs are the same between the three carriers."
I know @charlieb620 will deliver.
Just flash the sprint build.

The more I think about it, I think it might be better to hold off on porting for now. (There really isn't anything to port yet anyway)
Wouldn't it make sense to get any devs interested in in working on it to just do so in the existing thread? This way needed info will be in one location rather than spread over multiple threads and forums. Just seems to me that it would be much more productive that way.
Then maybe port it over with separate threads once it becomes more of a beta release.

you are 100% right, it will be more productive that way. and i am going to donate some of my free time (when im not working) to help get more things working in the sense 5 port for the d2 devices.
Just so you guys know, it doesn't even need to be "ported" to your device. As it stands now, it can be flashed on any d2 (US SGS3) without issue because it uses the CM kernel (shared between the d2 devices).
Any port will only break it more than it is.
As has been said, I would prefer that we would collaborate to get one version working on the d2spr, and from there it will simply be a matter of swapping out files to get it up to same level on the other d2 devices.
At the moment, I am working on rebasing to the most recent stock HTC One rom, because at this point it is a port of a port and would be more stable if I ported straight from the source.
Would love for a Sense port, really do miss sense.

"The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more than that. Don't ask for it in your signature or post for it and defeat the purpose why it was introduced."
I do have a question... If Sense is successfully ported and is stable enough for daily use, might our phones handle it? I ask because a friend of mine had a Galaxy S and I remember there was an old Sense 2.1 port that worked pretty good and bricked his phone.

The only way a phone can be truly bricked is by overwriting the bootloader. I have flashed this myself (MANY times) and the partitions are defined correctly in the updater-script. I do not know what other issues that port may have had, but I am sure user error played a part somehow.
This ROM can no more brick your phone than any other rom for a d2 device can.

Ok guys, here goes.
I have made an official github repo for the various porting projects that I have going on. They will be updated with the initial files over the next couple days, and the booting 4.1.2 Sense 5 port is up (see the README inside sense5_for_d2 repo)
If you want to help, fork, make your changes, then submit a pull request.
@ziggy46 and everyone else, feel free to do the above and make ANY changes that are beneficial in any way, even if they are only aesthetics. Eventually visual changes will be done, so might as well have at it now
http://github.com/cnexus
^- At the moment, all the repo's on my github are related to porting Sense 4+5 in some way, so check them out and decide for yourself whether it's worth it to fork/clone.
Umm... I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned but this is piracy. It is no different from when HTC had a cow about XDA encouraging PPC-6800 to flash the 6900 / Touch firmware... I hate to be a Debbie downer but this is very illegal. At a minimum it is a violation of DMCA. At worst, it is an intellectual property issue. Either way, its not allowed on XDA.
If someone can point me to where HTC has opened Sense to non-HTC devices, I will drop it but as it stands and knowing HTC, Sense is their intellectual property.

At the request of "The Sickness" i have removed these links. He specifically stated he closed his threads because he did not want anyone to download them any more.
If you want a copy of anything related to S3 or S4 for MetroPCS (And TMobile for S4) please let me know via PM. This type of situation is why i collect the files and back them up.
His ROMs were, by my opinion, the best out there by FAR for our device.. So many options, so fast, and so well made. Kinda upset that i'm a little upset with him for doing this. But whatever. Let me know if you guys need anything.
EDIT: I didn't mean to leave out every one who helped him! They deserve just as much credit for these fine ROMS.

Sickness, if you're reading this please understand there are hundreds, possibly even thousands of people who appreciate your work. Hence the download count on all your ROMs put together. Do NOT get stressed out by the lack of "thanks" on your posts. Just think of the download counts, and knowing your hard work is currently being/already installed on hundreds of rooted phones, as a thank you from the people who don't click that button. I too would be frustrated with the lack of appreciation because I'm the same way and expect some form of praise for my hard work.
But after all your donations, and your current "thanks meter", you should not get stressed over this.
If this is completely not the reason you removed all your download links, then disregard this post. Just wanted to let you know to not let things like that get to you regardless.
Your ROM is the only updated fully customized TW based ROM on this forum for this device. And for those who need WiFi Calling I'm pretty sure this is the go-to ROM. And it always will be, for me at least.

I don't think a donation would do much in this situation. His links are down everywhere. So something has obviously pissed him off over the edge. Sounds to me he's going to get a new device and start over in whichever subforum that may be, and leave the S4 behind. Probably deleted everything off his hard drive as well because I don't think he's going to spend the time re-uploading everything. Kind of depressing, actually. Those who DID support him got the shaft.
Also check your PM's when you get a minute, bro.

Think he said he had a Note3, so that is why he no longer had an S4. I agree with the making a donation being a waste - did that on another S4 Dev who walked, so these shafts are getting a bit old. There was not much development being done on this one anyway for some time - mostly theming - nothing functional.
Will probably keep this a Multiboot primary ROM for now , and hope if we get the next generation Android, someone else will pick it up. In the meantime, some nice AOSP and other base ROMs to mess with. If the OP of Omega could somehow get WiFi calling incorporated - that would be the way to go. Talk about a dev with some real class.
Chill out on the shaft talk guys. You don't know what his plans are or why his threads closed.

The shaft subject is in regards to every single link of his being removed from any kind of distribution. Even the OP who was nice enough to upload them to torrents was asked to remove them. That doesn't just happen unless the dev calls it quits. Removing the links from XDA is understandable, but when the links are no where to be found on dev-host and androidfilehost under his accounts, it's only obvious where it's headed.
He can take all the chill out time he needs. I'm just saying that the people who support him are getting the shaft because he just released v4 of the Sickness Modz which can't be downloaded now. Along with his custom edition ROM.

+1 - that is what I was talking about - plus a few more earlier on different devices.
As for abuse, I had notified the Moderator a few times on the ROM thread when it started to get out of hand and it was cleaned. This just goes with the territory - the more active the thread, the more BS will come out of the woodwork.
