Please don't say that. The user set up multiple accounts without Melvin s permission and started thanking Melvin on those accounts. Melvin did not approve of that.

Beastmod continues @ droid-tech.net
Powered by the SGSII....
I guess he also cloned Melvins IP address
Think not!
Not to mention the kanging!
Yes it's a fact, he Kanged
Case Closed,
Too bad, so sad, bye, bye!
I'm sad to see him go, but he deserved it and knew better, yet still did it.
I admire his ability to promote himself.
I learned something from it!

I'm curious on how he was able to continue updating Beastmod if he was kanging from that get go from what people say. Kanging is a no no here at XDA so where were that mods then.
In my opinion every dev kangs at one point or another.
So does this mean we should ban all of them then? Where would XDA be at then.
But he was wrong for creating accounts to help him get devices and thanks.
Lucky for us there are other websites for us to get the rom.

I can't believe nobody ever noticed this but Melvin used to use a different name here on xda.. Bosina... And his roms were also called Beast Mod. He was always in trouble for kanging roms for the MT4G

Lol, they noticed alright! That's why he's banned. But unless people own different devices at once, its hard to see if people have different name. I never knew about Melvin until now.

For the most part I don't think the better developers don't waist their time downloading and checking out junior developers work, looking for stolen work.
And apparently, when it is brought to their attention, as in this case, they try to work through it quietly and professionally. But if the kanger, don't do the right thing and man up,, things get ugly!
Also
If you get kanged from and make it a public scene, no matter what you do, you are going to end up looking bad and soiling your rep.
It's best to be quiet, get the evidence, and let the mods handle it!
Melvin messed up royally!
He is a smart guy, he will learn from this and be back bigger and better than ever!
Hopefully sooner than later.

As it should be!
The trial is over, evidence with IP addresses were presented, the jury reviewed, and he was sentenced.
THE END
Best wishes Melvin!
Hope you learn, grow, and make a comeback!!
Melvin was kanging heavily from Team Kang. He copied and pasted Juggernaut and themed it. If you are a Beastmod user, flash Juggernaut and you'll see. Also he did not recieve permissions from Team Kang to use their work.

Sad, but true. I'm sure in two years he'll work his way back.

I highly think that everybody deserve's a second chance , he got caught but he's not the only one that has done it & i think that he should not recieve a two year ban for kanging i think he should recieve a month or so , i feel that , it's just too long of a time period .
Wow thanks for all the info .

The drama does not need to be re-livged on XDA. If you want to know what happened, ask him, do not post threads about it. Closed thread.
Hey guys, it looks like the HTC Rezound is close to getting S-Off by Evil. If you didn't know, the Rezound has had a locked bootloader all this time just like us. Can we look to how they got root to help with our own efforts. The method of getting S-Off between these two phones can't be that different, can it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375598
EDIT: Apparently links to his site are prohibited. But just google "s-off think tank" to get to Evil's site.
They look close resembling. Worth a shot and try.

I'm pretty sure the internals are very very alike too. The only difference I've read is the screen size. They both came out around the same time, so I'd think they'd be locked in a very similar fashion.

If they are very close then you can take their way and use to the Vivid bootloader

I hope so... That seems to be a pretty good option right now. I posted this same thing in the "think tank" thread in the dev section, so hopefully a skilled dev can take it into consideration.
Just got a tweet back from the Evil man himself and he said "we can try"

So would we use his exact method? Or would we have to tweak a few little things? I know for many Samsung phones, you can use the universal SuperOneClick root. Would it work kind of like that?
Probably tweak it a bit

Apparently he is very very close. The link said days, if not hours away. Would he be the one to tweak it for us or would one of us have to? I'm not even sure if we could post our version on here though, XDA is pretty ant-anything that involves him. Maybe he could post our version on his site.

For the record, evil is not wanting it released here without his permission as well. You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site, due to him charging for a root exploit for the shift.

Changed the title, looks good to me now . The general section usually gets a little more action than the Q and A section. My intention was for any possible devs to help us out with this. My apologies for trying to help us all find root lol.

Look, I don't like the guy and I think his attitude is terrible and he deserved the ban he got. But can we refrain from saying stuff that isn't true? It does nothing for guiding people to an eventual unlocked rezound (or vivid in this case). Open is supposed to be was android is about... not squelching possible advancements based off a personal problem.
C'mon now you're a moderator. Please conduct yourself accordingly. You could have left it at, "You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site."

As I appreciate your enthusiasm for moderating me. The statement was made intentionally. As I have had this thread topic in multiple forums and the dev in question prompts flaming from discussion as to why we can't link his site. Most people on here either love or hate the guy, I am cool with him. My statement is made because that's the reasoning behind not linking his site. I can post it when I did or we could wait until it was asked, I chose the pre emptive approach to avoid someone literally saying something negative about the dev and xda. If you have an issue with my statement please address a senior mod or admin.
I'm not a douche bag here, I treat you all with respect and do what I can to help. Thanks.

I guess you did not read the thread completely. I am not here to advertise. It is just if in case some are interested and it is unpaid. Even the thread mentions about it. Moreover I have already mentioned the permission from senior moderator "M_T_M". If he would denied for it, I would not have proceeded further.

I want to give Google+ another go - who do you follow that makes it worth visiting in the absence of any of my friends being on there?
Even though I love the way Google + works, none of my friends are there. Having said that I follow, Google, XDA, Shen Ye, IGN, and some other unknown people which Google thinks that they are interesting
Follow your devs, Android news pages and check the what's hot section. Google+ is full of sane people and there are almost no idiots.

I just signed up a few nights ago, but i haven't done anything with it yet. I'm not even motivated. I'm not a big fan of social networks. So signing up was as far as I got, but most people I would consider following are already on XDA, and redundancy is something I'm trying to do away with in my life.
So, we'll see.

Hi,
As people are slowly starting to receive their devices, it would be helpful to know when the first wave of devices is hitting.
If you have received your HTC One, please comment also on which country you are in and what kind of seller(retailer/provider) did you use.
Apologies if this thread inteferes with forum fules, as first time thread creator here.
PS. Do not select the last poll option, because no way to RE-Vote
I dont see any poll
me neither
Poll created, took a bit time
Sorry, got carried away. For somehow, there is no way to revote(after receiving the device). If mods can change that then it would be great. Otherwise i will go and sit in a corner with shame in my eyes.
