TheWhisp is developing for Mini/Fit. We're supporting him. I don't think it's making sense to develop other ROM is he's there.
And which right? We planned to use every $ from donations for Mini, but in last 2 months I received 25$ only. I planned to use my own money, but for WHAT if TheWhisp is there. As I said, I'm supporting him, yesterday I fix'd browser on CM10 for Mini.
And I didn't received any donation for Mini from a looooooong, loooooong time...
And if you want to explain something, write to me first. If you think that's thanks to this topic I'll buy Mini, you're wrong. Why should I do this now?
Ok, I can buy Mini, but I won't develop something. It doesn't make sense to create two similar ROMs at the same time. TheWhisp is great dev and he have my full support, in words and in practic - I respect him.
And: MINI USERS WANTS RIGHTS... but Mini users can't help developer, when he says he want to help them...

it is same method for artist, if you willing to get fan, and u willing to be responsible towards them?innit?
and i know about TheWhisp, but if like that, there is no other ROM for each devices? one ROM for one device?

i didnt ask you to buy, but asking for you responsibilities, thats all
I don't want to be against of you or anyone but why did you stop doing CM9 ,Where we have an incomplete cm9 rom and I heard you have the camera working then why don't you implement them and update the CM9.
Guys, this time Maclaw is right. If you want the kernel, I can try to continue Squadzone's work.

Hey, you talk about donation so much.
I think someone will donate to developer because that developer have already done something great. I think someone who give their money to the developer, should be give their money with whole-hearted, honest, sincere.
They should know that with donating, doesn't mean they 'buy' something, because the developers isn't selling anything.
It's true that Maclaw promise something that isn't good for himself, I think. I don't know what really happened. But creating a thread to him like this is too offensive, I think.
Maclaw removed his CM9 ROMs due to uncompliance with GPL license, which is good (not for us and the devs, but for Maclaw's understanding that he shouldn't play with those kind of things).
Current CM10 is using his kernel, and i will believe him about helping TheWhisp this time. A little bit of respect is needed now.
@Maclaw - just don't so the same thing all over again, leaving users with expectations and then dumping them away like nothing is just not right!
i 'm not the one,everyone else did felt the same
just don't be a pathetic because u wanna feel neutral
i just wanna know, whats the responsibilities towards mini user?that all.
and actually he should post something, maybe let the mini user know he didnt make it ( the rom or anything ) not just easily post,
something like, the rom will transfer to the other hand,that easy?
and maybe he can continue the cm9 for mini..
i dont want to argue or get fight, but just for the rights

What a load of Spam! Get this straight - Users of any mobile have only "rights" from their seller, manufacturer and service provider. You have No rights from developers on xda at all (even if you donate thousands of Euros, Dollars or Pounds). I'm shocked that a moderator has not stepped in yet to explain that as a member of xda you have absolutely no "rights" whatsoever.

There is a misunderstanding here.
Donating upfront is not allowed. Maybe some did that, if so they are at loss.
Nothing can be done now.

Do you know what donation means? No? Let me explain that
Wikipedia said:
A donation is a gift given by physical or legal persons, typically for charitable purposes and/or to benefit a cause. A donation may take various forms, including cash offering, services, new or used goods including clothing, toys, food, and vehicles. It also may consist of emergency, relief or humanitarian aid items, development aid support, and can also relate to medical care needs as i.e. blood or organs for transplant. Charitable gifts of goods or services are also called gifts in kind. The largest form of gifts in kind is created in many nations by the donation of aging automobiles with the item donated being picked up, sold and the proceeds given to the charity or non-profit (type or named) which was the target of the donor's generosity. One standard way of obtaining donations is the use of raffles for the accumulation of funds.

So. In short - you can't demand something because you paid for that. In short this means, that you are freely give Macław and his team some money to use it for their own purpose.
Android wasn't involved for making money - it's Linux adapted to run on mobile devices. Linux is a GPL OS, so you are not paying a damn cent to receive anything. Android is the same. Don't exepect the developers to spend all their time to improve the OS. They have to earn some money too. Nothing is for free, especially food or flat.
Politics of companies is brutal - release the device, give one or max. two updates and pretend that this device is dead. That's normal - it's all about the money. Even biggest companies doesn't give a damn about their old devices/products.
You should appreciate that you have something more than plain GB. It took a lot of work to adapt all of the libs to run CM9/10.
You don't owe anything to Macław and he doesn't owe you anything as well.
I don't appreciate TeamICS politics, but I'm not the one to judge them. Developers are always welcome, especially here on XDA.
So please hide your grudge under the pillow and move on.

No. He just fixed the Browser issue. That's all, the rest of the work is done by me and Rohan007. He helps us, we help him.
Hello, I'm from the site 4pda.ru. We, all the owners of this device have on our site, the collection of signatures to update Official firmware to 2.3.7 or to 4.0. I want to invite you to join us, what would the developers from Samsung heard us and finally released the official version software. After the collection of signatures will be created the document, in which we announced his request and then send the document with an attached link to the company Samsung. here can look at our example. If you support our idea, then please choose the person who will be able to making the theme for the collection of signatures. Do not judge strictly for my English, I'm from Russia.If you have any questions, ask, I will try to answer.
Save Your Time
Hi.
Your "english" is really hard to understand
I've seen ideas like this one before.
Example - Unavailability of ICS on groubal.
I think corporations like Samsung don't give a s**t about what You want.
They just make money.
Ofcourse You can always try but is it worth it ?
I've heard that S5830i graphic chip is better than S5830's but it still doesn't have full working drivers..
If that's true then i don't think Samsung is going to do anything more for this device.
That's my opinion.
Save Your time.
I know every one are excited with Official ICS release of SU660 and waiting for Source code to be released to taste the CM10 as earliest...
I am also like you only and waiting for SU660 source code release...But I believe it will be worth tatsing of Official ICS release by LG as they are claiming LGUI 3.0 has better user experience and they took a year to build...
So, Please post any info related to Offical ICS release date for P990 for other countries like INDIA, SINGAPORE, EUROPE...etc....

There hasn't been anything concrete announced and it keeps getting pushed back. All we have is hearsay.
You already asked this on the ICS thread an hour before you started this thread. You got an answer, so why the f*ck would you start this useless thread if you already got your answer?
If there was any concrete news about that, you'd know it. Close this thread, Hulk...

Let me check my crystal ball for you real quick. No. Can't say a thing. Because there is no country called Europe. Geography tip: Europe, surprising as this might come to you, is a whole continent. Like North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica. It consists of 50 separate countries.
So with this new info in sight, let me check the crystal ball again. No. Sorry. No luck again. Even the crystal balls don't know when exactly ICS will be available...
ICS will never get released for the International p990 because that will take away potential Optimus G, etc. buyers. The fact is they already had a working ICS since May and probably have a polished one now but chose not to release it after some marketing research. Personally they are right, having ICS on my phone will make me uninterested on buying new ones. They only released ICS for the SU660 because it was only released in South Korea, a relatively small market and won't hurt their bottom line.
I guess s3nr1 may be right. but there is a down fall in that perspective, some lg clients are already unsatisfied with this, and may choose to buy from another company like samsung and htc, Optimus G is that smartphone with the most powerfull cpu, but and the rest? software is more and more the better part of the hardware.
This may happen after Christmas, because it's buyers activity grow point in Europe.
what s3nr1 said, makes sense, but i hope lg doesnt think like him
Supupa said:
He has a valid point of p990 of lg not releasing ICS officially. Read his statement more thoroughly.
In short, by releasing ICS for the 2x many users won't have to upgrade their phone, for another year at least, impacting on lg's profit from new device sales.
Honestly, I myself think they will release it. But in December sometime...

If they don't upgrade P990 to ICS, I highly doubt any P990 user is going to buy another piece of electronic hardware that has to do with LG (including the Optimus G or whatever it's called). But if they do give us the upgrade, there is still a small chance they'll keep some of the current customers.

I think he has a point. No one would buy a Optimus G but it looks like we'll get an Optimus Nexus - and a lot of us would buy phone where updates are handled by Google.
I don't care though, I have no plans to run stock anyways hehe.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
I think what LG will do is first draw all available customers to their new releases, and when the initial sale dies down, they will come out with ICS for the 2X and the other phones. So they will make their money, and will then consider keeping the customers did not upgrade to the new models happy.

Hi everyone!
It might sound silly and i hope i post it in the right section, but i just bought the S3 mini(N version) and before i buy a new device i check XDA community status, checking for custom roms, root, recovery etc etc....
coming for a very huge community of a flagship device(HTC Desire HD, which had 4.2.2 update just a few days after official google release)
i was disappointed to see not too many roms in the development section especially for the N version (and no fully working CM rom),
but it was still enough, so i bought it and i'm very pleased.
Nowadays i see the community flourish! new N version compatible roms, toolkits, themes, all updated and with constant replays from the chefs,
so a question pops into my head... why now?!
the device was released in November 2012... what took so long?
i do understand it's not a flagship device but still.... i'm wondering...
i know the reason i bought the device right now it's because of it's low price at the moment(about 350$ in Israel).
on the same note i would like to thank all the developers and who ever is contributing to this wonderful community, may it continue to grow!!!
The community's been around for a while. This phone's only about 6 months old, root was gained inside a week, and they were struggling to get a working recovery that didn't cause a soft brick for a couple months. Give the devs time to get us a working CM build.
Sent from Spaceball One.
Chill out, better now than never, take a look at Galaxy Ace, it's from 2010 (?) and still receives new roms and updates. I prefer our phone to be maintained for 2-3 years than have a quick but short span of excitement and then nothing.
let's clear something, i am chill and i praise the devs for the work for how long it will take,
it was all from curiosity! sorry if anyone thought otherwise!
you gave me good answers and i see the development moving on rapidly, may this device will have support for at least a few years.
thanks guys.

You guys also need to understand that the petition won't do any good as no one can enforce it as the company is safe behind China's laws.

@thejoker has got the main point.
The next best phone at 220$ is moto g which dropped 20$ after mi 3 release.
Except that the only choice is Asus zenfone
The cheapest SD 800 phone is nexus 5. Which still costs almost 500$
A used one costs 400$
This is the only device we can get and let's see what happens. It takes a few secs for sign up.
What's there to loose?

I too agree with you buddy but as it's Chinese firm they are safe because of their law structure, can't force the Govt to change the law for a single firm.

That's why we made this forum. So the users could get together and help change them. They will have to change a few things before they can think about releasing the device in many parts of the world. At first HTC and Samsung were doing the same thing. The users rallied and now they release it right away.
If they don't change then this forum will be a failure and be removed.

Yes. Without XDA there were no devs ready to even make a unofficial ports.
Only thanks to it there are 3 Roms ....
.see we have nothing to loose to try
But after meeting them yesterday and after explanation came to know that Xiaomi looses most of its users to aosp and the only profits they get from cloud and other software services will be gone.
Once again xiaomi is not a hardware oriented company like Samsung etc

It doesn't matter if they are or not. They are required by law to release it upon device release.
No big surprise they lose most to aosp not a lot of trust for a closed sourced distro that one day had nothing and then the next had enough capital to start a company. Makes me wonder if other rumors are true.
