Yes but since his thread is closed so it doesn't stay up...therefore users tend to neglect it. So making this thread is a great idea in order to get the most signatures. Am I right?

It's not that simple. Samsung use binaries they are simply not allowed to release source for, due to IP rights and stuff of their respective owners.
These hardware designers have no duty nor intention to release source for their IP just because they're used in conjunction with an open source OS.

Signed because this is important. And I don't think it's a bad idea to have a separate topic for this because not everyone lurks on the CM discussion/dev threads

NOT signed because this is really NOT important!
Samsung, will, I am sure, release what source code they can (for legal reasons, such as IP licensing) ONCE THEY RELEASE ICS for the SGS2.
They WON'T release the source code before that, as they are still changing the code and working on the features / bugs etc. to make ICS work on the SGS2.
No amount of b*tching from anyone will make a large multi-national like Samsung drastically change their development / release cycles *JUST* to keep a very small number of users happy.
... remember they're under NO OBLIGATION to release this source code in full... although I'm sure they will...

That's what we ask for. But "ONCE THEY RELEASE ICS for the SGS2" could mean anything from the same day till the same decade.

What you don't seem to grasp is that Samsung DOES release its code within the month of releasing an official ROM (Update1, 2 and 3 of the Gingerbread source being the prime example of this). They release the source they CAN release. The petition is to put pressure on them for the rest of the source code, which I agree with stuclark, is quite possible will not happen. I signed the petition just in case to give an extra number to a petition I don't believe will matter.
stuclark is entitled to his opinion, as you are, so let him post what he wants. He did not do it in a cruel manner or with horrible intentions. He is in his right to not sign if he does not believe. This is just like a friend of mine who got bullied by students because she didn't wanna sign a petition.
And he is right you know, 5200 users as opposed to the millions of phones that were sold... Is a VERY small portion of the SGS2 community.

I have no problems when someone is entitled to his/her opinion.
BUT (s)he said that "it isn't important".
However, as there are people who sign this petition (or would, if they knew that it exists) it's BS.
(S)he should have said that it's not important in her/his opinion. That's quite a difference.
Your "argument" is nice too. The typical "you can't change anything anyway" argument.
Congratulations, if you think that way.

Let me tell you a story...

Ohkay, so here is how this fairy tale starts:
Once upon a time, there was an android ROM called PrimeHD, whose creator was HAKA aka Mohak Rastogi. The ROM gained popularity in very less time. The creator was happy with it. As the time passes, PrimeHD became one of the top ROM's in the forum.
The creator was busy with his career planning, so he left the development after PrimeHD 6.0 so that he can concentrate on his future.
One day, his brother, Dev Rastogi came to him and asked, "Can I continue your PrimeHD? I want to learn Android!", the creator i.e. Mohak Rastogi gave PrimeHD in his hands, but Dev Rastogi did what he was not supposed to do. He stole someone else work to gain fame. Soon, he was caught.
As he was using HAKA's name, all the crime was slapped on Mohak Rastogi.
Soon, people started calling him a thief, a liar. HAKA lost all his support, people started hating him and the ROM crashed.
HAKA lost his 'Recognized Developer' title because of the mistake his brother did. He was kicked in his rear.
Now, real HAKA i.e. Mohak Rastogi is here to say sorry to all the great developers whose work his brother stole. He feels guilty on his brother's part. He just wants a good farewell and want people to forget whatever happened in last 2 months. HAKA is not a thief.
Sorry to TeamFun and doixanh.
Mohak Rastogi
Edit: My current status is that I have joined Delhi University and I may have some time to develop, but seeing the situation now, I shouldn't carry anymore.

you are not recognized developer?????? why??? i love your ROM :crying: :crying:

Come on HAKA...
people here do not hate you.
So your brother did a mistake,everyone does.
We always respect a dev even if he/she is not a recognized one
but we expect the same respect we show to others.
Is it important how did i send this?

Dude you din't loose support. Keep on making roms your Dev status will be returned. I got banned and just came back you think ill be a R Dev some day? ah ahhahaha never. Maybe in a few years. But really feel bad for ya tho. Din't you create a port for the X8 honeycomb? 3.0 ? I saw a video too, if you did that proves that you are a dev.

i believe you, but there is sth that bothers me,
you were the op of a rom that you didnt know anything about?!
why wasn't never being mentioned that it was your brother who continued your rom?
why didn't your brother make an account and post his rom, while prime hd were stopped at 6.0?
you cant prove anything but personally i believe you!(i just believe that if you were a mere "thief" you would have stopped and you would just let this news die, but coming here and open a thread to explain, i think you are not that way.)
good luck with your studies and i really want to see some work from you in the future, even though i see that its complicated!

HAKA, sorry to hear you say this but do not give up! One day you will regain your status! We will support you!

Haka, good luck with what you are doing, and no doubt that you can be a Dev. I wish you to become whatever you wish to be.
But stop that lamenting and give a sign - a final proof that you are worth the trust everybody was placing in you.
Cheers, all the best,

go haka! you can do it maybe you can start all over again and make a new rom because primehd's repution has already been stained

I created GingerFroyo when I was a newbie..noone is a by-birth dev...i don't say i am a great dev but still I am learning...

Let's put it this way:
We still do not know whether HAKA is lying or telling the truth. What we do know however is that HAKA apparently did give up his RD account to his brother.
Now, I ask, how responsible is this act? A RD is meant to be a developer that has produced substantially original or significant work for a device. Has his brother produced such work? Apparently his brother simply wanted to continue his work. Is his brother a RD? That remains to be seen, and judging by how his brother stole GDX, probably isn't. Hence, we reach the conclusion that his brother should technically not be worthy of RD status. In that case, is HAKA even justified in lending his account to his brother? If his brother wanted to continue his work, he could just simply create a new account and continue from there.
Furthermore, how are we even sure if HAKA's story is true? Hence do not just assume straight away that HAKA's brother was responsible for the stealing act.
Lastly, do not blindly support a ROM just because it was fast/feature-packed etc. What is more important is whether it is original work. If it isn't, and permissions have not been given, it is meaningless as it is basically an act of stealing others' work.
I'm not judging whether HAKA is innocent it not. I'm just suggesting that we all act rationally rather than act based on emotion. Thank you.

I'm not going to point fingers here, nor am I siding anyone. Gonna sit on the fence on this one. All I know is there's no point pondering over past events. What has happened has happened. I've been through my fair share of hell this year (my life outside of XDA) and all I can say it that no one wants to see or hear our sob stories of the past. What they do want to see is how that person picks themselves up and proves everyone wrong. I'm not saying HAKA MUST continue his developing nor am I saying he shouldn't. It's just my 2 cents of advice from my point of view...

I know I cannot prove it...that's why I said it's a 'story'...
I don't want to prove it to anyone actually, I just wanted to say sorry from my side to the developers, that's why I created this useless thread...

I used prime hd 6 for nearly 2 months and never gave me problems, so i think you are a good developer, it does not matter if you are a recognized one or not, so i thank you for all your work, oh by the way, if you cook an ics for stock that would make you a GOD developer haha good luck, remember you have the support of your rom users

Rohin and Spyder have very valid points. We can't be entirely sure of what is the real story, and as HAKA pointed out he's not out to prove anyone anything. But it's nice that he at least offered an explanation. I'm gonna stay neutral, too. We don't have the facts, and it's pointless to dig up the past and do some finger pointing as it's not really gonna do any good. And to primehd/haka supporters, well, he became an RD once - I'm pretty sure he can do it again if he wants to.

new project

Well based on the kick assity of the atrix I decided to upgrade to the Atrix HD. It's rough right now with a locked boot loader and no root but I'm making due. Kind of why I'm posting this. If anyone wants to help with rooting or unlocking on the Atrix HD theres a freenode irc channel #atrixhd-dev. Not my channel, just promoting. This phone is truly awesome and will be even better once we have control of it. Thanks for anyone that's willing to help or even looking at this!

There's an Atrix HD forum for a reason, nobody here really cares about this. :/

One dev from here did try to help. Didn't work out so well. Some of the devs over there are shady, dishonest, reckless, and bricked quite a few devices with their "research". Unfortunately, one of the mods deleted the posts that set the story straight. Be careful over there.

Pretty sure Atrix HD has its own section.
EDIT: Nevermind... Jumping in too late, lol.

Good one for a first post. Welcome my friend on the forum that has the worst pertinent debate per thread ratio. We achieved it since no driver's found for the device and NOBODY's giving a single (Let's pretend we can replace the F-word by fornication) fornication. Motorola cancelled the update, Nvidia's too much closed to their end-user customers so everybody's talking about making impossible things that would be possible if ONE impossible thing (Like someont at Nvidia/Moto heard us... But both companies just concentrate on making money).
Welcome again my friend.

The Atrix forums have turned into a ghost town. It's sad that we never were able to unlock the full potential of our phones. Everyone has moved on at this point.

I agree.. I believe that these phones had so much more potential in them, that may never be seen
