I will never understand the drama that goes on over a tech product. I don't blame DT for doing this really, when you start getting called a copycat when you are supposedly doing open source work, it would sting quite a bit. Hope the people who called him out feel a real sense of accomplishment.......not really

To be or not to be........................wait what was the question? This signature has been Tapatalk approved.

I posted this over at rootzwiki where I guess all the drama went down...

I'd love to find out what really happened, if not just to not give support to whoever it was that ran DT out of town. But im sure I'll never really know, im working 3rd shift this week and was up all night trying to figure it out.
I discovered him when he started developing for the thunderbolt and his roms made my thunderbolt run better than anything else. I flashed every rom he put out for that phone. When he moved on he left a hole in that community. No rom I could find was able to fill it.
I picked up my first nexus on release day, but by the end of the first week and a half i was on my third. I was getting very frustrated with this device. Then I found out he would be cooking up some of his magic for the GN. it was like getting a breath of fresh air. I waited as long as I could before flashing axiom, I wanted to enjoy stock ICS and all its new goodness. This is without a doubt the best rom I have ran on any of the 3 android devices I have owned (D2,TB, GN). So smooth i'm drowning in butter.
I never spoke or chatted with DT in any way shape or form, I usually just remain quiet unless I'm looking for help with something. But after having run his roms for the last 8 months I can say that this was a guy who enjoyed what he did. He will probably miss doing what he did more than I will enjoy flashing his roms. His OPs always had I list full of thanks with explanations of why he was giving them. I can't remember him ever asking for anything other than the usual donate here link.
I hope that this situation can be fixed or settled and DT can come back for those of us who have appreciated everything he had done for this community and our awesome devices, which are better with his butter.

Would you consider releasing your source? I've run every ROM I can find on my GNex and keep coming back to yours for stability/speed and battery life. Cm9 isn't usable yet IMO and gummy has come a long way, but still feels lacking. Had a D1 and was a chevyno1 fan through and through and never found a suitable replacement. your ROMs are new to me, but I'll be hard pressed to find someone who can fill your shoes.

If you won't consider ignoring those that are ungreatfull, will you at least let us pickup where you left off?

Off topic but just curious but what do you find lacking in Gummy? I've been using it for a week now and this thing is as smooth as any ROM I've used. Yeah I think it could have some additional features but I rather get something that's smooth and stable first. Can you share?

Thanks

DT you will be missed, I've been using your roms sence the Bionic, and jumped ship and found that you were making them on G-Nexus.
Also had a good experience with everthing you made and hope you come back, but if you don't thanks for what you have done!!!

 

[sbenson]

Damn shame, much respect to DT. I'm ashamed at the ego's of some in our community.

 

[droidhayabusa]

Sorry DT. Thanks for working to make our machines work better.

Extra special thanks to the few who ruined it for everyone, ya babies.

This really sucks DT. I am sorry for your experience.. your work is literally the only reason I haven't swapped my phone in for something else..

I hope maybe some day you come back to the community, people behind computers are just that, and in reality they can't do anything to hinder your work and what you do. You will always have a following and always have people willing to help your cause. I know this is your hobby but consider the sheer number of people running your roms, and how in 8 months you have become one of the big names in the dev community.

I wish you luck in future endeavors, but I also encourage you not to completely throw in the towel either. Take a break, clear your head, we'll survive for a few months, your builds are spectacularly solid.

Thank you for all your work.

I think im fairly certain who's up his butt all the time. I'm going to say this with a completely unbiased opinion as I have never used a DT ROM. Although I did download Axiom on Sunday (not installed) because I was finally jumping in the ship.

DT.. you're giving up. Taking the easy way out. It's not right. It's no sweat off my back if you don't return because I haven't used anything to miss it BUT.. obviously other people have. LOTS AND LOTS of other people. Go look at the pageviews for your ROM vs any one elses on the GNex.. It's not even close. People make fun of others because they fear them. If your ROM sucked, no one would care enough to harrass you. But, because it's better than someone elses, or, they feel its better than theirs, instead of being innovative and making theirs better, they just decide to ridicule you till you quit (like Apple does).. and, if you go, they win. You lose and all the thousands of people that use the ROM lose. The worst part is, and this should upset you the most.. people might actually go from your ROM to theirs cause they don't know. That sucks.

Im sure I will get harrassed if they ever read this but, I really don't care. No skin of my back.

 

[Art Vandelay]

Wow this is upsetting, but I completely understand. Your work was solid and will be missed. Best of luck to you.

I do think the person(s) calling out DT should man up and explain themselves. You do enough snooping in the various forums you read certain things and connect the dots but the people responsible should definitely tell their "side" of the story. The thing I hate most about the internet is the freedom to say and do ridiculous things without being held accountable. Keyboard courage runs rampant when in real life, these same people are spineless. I am not calling anyone out in specific because I don't know the whole story but I am saying we should be given an explanation from the accusing party.

 

[czerdrill]

The problem here is not whether credit should be given or not. IMO it should if you use someone else's work in your ROM. The problem here however, is suggesting that DT purposely didn't give credit as some way to pull the wool over everyone's eyes and pretend like he created something. That's where the android community turns into a bunch of childish entitled fools.

Some of these basement devs take this ROM developing thing so seriously because sadly it gives them some kind of validation in their life when people use their ROMs. For devs like DT, who actually are doing this as a hobby, and aren't begging for donations and putting up a sob story about their life, it must suck being accused of something that he clearly didn't do. The OP, before it was changed, gave credit to a ton of people, so for whoever it was that called him out and said he was "stealing" is just wrong. This reminds me of the blackdroid crap when all the kids got all upset at him for "not giving credit". It's so silly, childish and immature. It's all some dumb popularity contest and the really hardworking devs get screwed because of it.

I love how everyone will show people how to tether and post up throttle mods (which would actually be stealing, and is somehow accepted and justified on forums), and then they get their panties in a bunch because someone forgot to give credit in an open source ROM. True stupidity.

To be honest and fair to kejar, the last of his that I flashed was either 0.3.5 or 0.3.8... somewhere in the 0.3 series. I don't remember anything specific, just felt like i was missing Axi0m. I will be giving 0.4.8 a fair try. If I find anything I think is missing that I would have had in axi0m, I'll be sure to voice it as a suggested feature.

Edit: Not quite ready to move on from Axi0m just yet though.

Thank you for all your work DT. It's saddening to see you leave, specially because of some bullpoop. Your ROMs where the best in my phone and any other dev who talked crap was because they knew it and they are a bunch of jealous babies. Once again, thank you for everything you have done for our community, I hope you return, at least stay here and mingle and post every once in a while. Lift our spirits up .
