Root FlyKernel development ceased

[Slug]

Just spotted this piece of bad news, posted by Erasmux a week ago, a few minutes ago.

After careful consideration, I have decided to take an unlimited absence from android development. My reasons are mainly personal, but I will say that it really is a shame that the hero has talented developers but no real development community. Almost all developers stick to themselves and to some extent, you get the impression they are doing you a favor if they share anything with you. Not to speak about the possibility of working on something together....

Note to users: I hope you appreciate the enormous efforts and sacrifices the developers are putting in to make your devices run better.

Note to developers: quit while you can

I might return when I have more time to devout to android development. For my personal shake, I really hope I don't.

Live well and proper V

If that's not depressing enough for you, also check out post #1262.

Well that is a real shame, but I have to say a big THANK YOU to the devs who work so hard on making the android platform so much better, if they decide not to work on it anymore, than I respect that and wish them only the best. They have a life as well you know

The situation is somewhat less depressing than it was a month ago, as Elelinux appears to have had a change of heart and is churning out test builds of his 2.3 ROM like a man possessed.

The FlyKernel source code is also fully GPL-compliant, so it's available to any developer who wishes to continue using/improving it.
