android is open source. it is mine to distribute. for the record though, i havent. ive offered it to jamezelle and he declined wanting it. im keeping it for myself and waiting for jamezelle to release his official version.
andrizoid, not trying to flame you, but want to give some constructive criticism. I am going to say it bluntly and get straight to the point here.
its not about who owns it. yes android is open source and you and everyone else is free to do whatever they want with it. but, when a dev spends a lot of time cooking up their modded roms and making the themes and doing the bug fixes, etc, then all they ask for is a little recognition. when you, or someone else comes along and says that they fixed a bunch of problems, then starts calling it "theirs" and offers it to others, whether they go through with it or not, we take offense to that, as we spent a lot of time on our work, and we arent even getting any recognition for it. just ask us before you do anything if you can modify the rom, and release it with recognition is all we ask. just a simple this is senseable 3 rom, made my jamezelle, and i have fixed some problems in it. here is the release.
the way you come off in the posts is very arrogant and and selfish. it sounds like you either claim the work as yours, or you dont make it clear that its not yours and that you have modified it, and telling people who it came from. just ask before you start offering up someone elses work, and give credit where credit is due. or you could just make your own rom, and you wont have ANY of these issues. clearly, you have the knowledge to do so. if you have over 1,000 posts, and can debug someone elses rom, and make your own fix, then you clearly have the knowledge to make your own rom. we have people that have never made a rom before, have less than 20 posts, and have some really snappy roms. if all else fails, use dsixda's kitchen.
