I know! I was thinking maybe his wife had enough of him being on xda and made him close his account. Of course I have no idea though. Remember when she threw his touchpad in the toilet? Really sad that he's gone...
Wondering myself what happened. His loss will be a large blow to the community so hopefully he'll be back. Just gunna keep my fingers crossed.

Just woke up to the news. I was shocked. That was out of nowhere. Especially after he just came out with new stuff.
RIP
It must have been something very serious to cause him to totally close his account and threads right after releasing new builds.
:crying:
Big blow to the Touchpad community. Hopefully it wasn't a mistake or troll.
Going back and reading some of the posts that SGA left yesterday makes me think something doesn't feel right. He showed no intention of stopping this. I'm confused.

Of course. He was the one who made a request to the mod to have him removed from xda. Abrupt but we should respect his decision and thank him for endless hours in developing this rom
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
i was thinking it was wife related too. considering she dumped his TP in the toilet once before. i'm sad to see him go, but i can understand he has more important priorities. if you read this SGA thanks for all your efforts
RIP
I may suggested that his wife used his account to inform the mod to remove his account? Just kidding, hope he can back soon

Hey you never know. Its so damn sad. He was a great developer for the touchpad. His account has been permanently deleted too.
Very sad news. Let's hope he and and his family is ok, and nothing terrible happened.
See ya later, bro and thnx for your legendary work here!
The only hint I could find was this:
I'm having major connectivity issues at home, and am starting to think I've been throttled by my provider. I've synced the repos so many times from scratch since I've moved here that at about 10GB per repo I'm probably around 100GB in the last few days. and I still need to fetch the 4.2.2 source (now that I've got all the ICS and JB ROMs built).

But this off cause wouldn't be a reason to leave our community without a word of goodbye. So I fear that something personal happend, a stroke of fate. :crying:
Otherwise, if it should be true that his wife was doing all of that she should know how much we miss him too and that we hope of a reincarnation in form of a SGA2.
Anyway we wish you and your family all the best: "So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish!"
Thanks, SGA, for everything. You're a class act. I hope that everything is okay.

Damn...thats rough.
Yes, very odd to dissapear so suddenly. Similar to when OaT left touchpad suddenly as he felt underappreciated as a developer (rightly so) but we learnt our lessons and treated SGA well.
Until we have news, SGA thank you for all your help. I'm still running your ICS ROM because it's just so stable. Good luck and I hope everything is ok!

You all do this dev a great disservice with this presumptious crap. Leave him alone. If he comes back, great. If he doesn't, be thankful for what he gave us. As far as I'm concerned, the moderator should shut this thread down.
As a user of his work, i certainly hope all is well. Should he decide to come back, i think we can find a place for him again.
That said, while i will leave this open, please do not go off the rails with crazy theories, or harassing him or the staff for more info. If he says something, that is fine.. but lets keep this simple, ok guys?
Just wanted to alsoexpress my appreciation for SGA. He will be missed. Hope all is well with him.

anyone knows SGA's email? we could write email to him saying thank you.
Or we could have a special “thank you SGA” post for him.

I had absolutely nothing to do with this ROM. I repeat, I did nothing for this ROM. I have not even flashed it yet.
I know there are MANY fans of Team Whiskey and most have already found this on their site.
This thread is for those too lazy to walk away from XDA (like me). I found it hard to find a link to this ROM, so it's just in an effort to help.
Here is a link to their site and the thread for this ROM:
Again, I did nothing. I don't expect you to click Thanks or anything. I encourage you to join their site and donate to THEM if you feel like doing so.
If anyone is bothered by this (I'm just trying to help), I will gladly remove this.
Thanks!

I think registration is a way of deterring trolls.
-cough cough-
Not sure if TW has fixed it yet but the Ginger Bread ver doesn't have TouchWizCalculator.apk or TouchWizCalendar.apk.
To fix you can download both ver... open up Bionix-NextGen-TouchWiz.zip with 7zip (NOT winrar), go to /system/app and copy TouchWizCalculator.apk and TouchWizCalendar.apk to somewhere on your PC.
Now open Bionix-NextGen-GB.zip ver and go to /system/app and drop them both in there... now you can flash the GB ver with TouchWizCalculator and TouchWizCalendar.
Hope this helps someone.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that n2ishun is one of those people that talks because he likes to hear the sound of his own voice. That or he's just a prick on the internet that has to interject some negativity wherever he can.

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.

The trial is over, evidence with IP addresses were presented, the jury reviewed, and he was sentenced.
THE END

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.

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 .

this has absolutely no uniqueness to Raver at all but one thing I would say is that there has never been a bounty thread which just told it like it is and said "I will make a modded stock rom of gb and do the same when stock ICS is out".
Most bounties are about winking at suggestions of making ICS builds or this or that pie in the sky rom. I know there is supposed to be salesmanship in those threads but it would be refreshing to just have it be straightforward on the other hand I doubt such a thread would be a successful bounty

If you read his posts, he said that he's working out the bugs on the installer and ROM. If you think he's too slow, offload some work from him. Maybe go over and give him meals, clean for him, do his other ***** work and then he will have more time for you.

Good for you for not donating.
Holy hell people must want instant results...how about instead of donating next time take that money and take some development courses at your local community college then you can create whatever the hell you want when you want...if not then quit your pissing and moaning and wait like everyone else...Gotta love those people who think there special and shouldn't have to wait around.

This is definitely true. Raver always delivers what he promises. I've used most of his Roms on the SGS4G and they were all incredible. I just got my SGSII last Friday and I can't wait to try Black Edition when its complete. Raver I'm really glad to see you on this phone also. You'll definitely be getting more donations from me.

M_T_M closed the last thread saying it would lead to gun control arguments or something, although nothing like that was ever mentioned. He asked nobody create a new thread about it so just a heads up he will probably close this one too. That said, I have been thinking about the families and those affected all day. I have a friend that just moved to CO and first thing I did this morning was call him because I was not sure what part he had moved to exactly.
Edit: Wow at your speed test, that's amazing.

That's fine what you're saying but again, this is where I have issues. If all people want to hear is how great they are or their work is always perfect they are doing it for the wrong reasons. People who do nothing but praise are called "fanboys" and don't contribute any useful info. If people are name calling or trashing somebody's work that's different. Anytime I mention issues I am always specific with what they are.
I have mentioned my gratitude many times but if that's all that people want to hear these forums are useless.

This has been a problem on XDA for as long as I have been a member. There are a lot of people who just complain, or constantly say " fix it, fix it, fix it." Not everyone does this, but many do. Too many people forget that the Dev's are not obligated to release a rom or to even update it publicly. They do this for many different reasons. I agree state an issue, but part of the problem comes when an issue is overstated because people refuse to read. There is no reason to mention an issue 30 + times. Same goes for the questions that get repeated. Too many people want someone to come running to their aid. We were all noobs at one time, we learn by reading posts and trying ourselves. I just recently reread the rules and all of this is talked about there. I always appreciate our Developers and the work they release, even if it never leaves Alfa stage. I also appreciate the members who take the time to help others and offer good suggestions on a fix, or workaround. We should all keep in mind this question, if I were a Dev, would I want to deal with this?

You are dead on about people harping on the same old crap all the time or saying "when is it going to be fixed?" They should just be ignored and eventually they will go away hopefully. It also doesn't help when so many senior members who had good comments to offer most of the time are now gone.

It's true that a lot of people don't do their research before asking questions. But what I find even worse is when people respond with answers like 2 weeks or bashing the person asking the question. I find it would be easier to just ignore or direct them to q&a rather than cluttering the development threads.

Some people respond with "2 weeks" when ETAs are asked by another user, which is considered a major faux pas. I do agree however that when ETAs come up no one should respond. I also don't think anyone should be bashed however it's hard when you get some who just flat demand things and act like a Dev is asleep at the wheel or negligent for not posting a fix or update. It's hard to believe people actually will say stuff like "when you gonna fix it, huh?" Yes, that kind of English too.
It's like a hundred dswaggz going around asking them to fix the problem (originally he asked for ports, hey just saying XD)

I think this place is great! I haven't posted much because I'm not a dev. I have little to contribute other than my testing experiences and the occasional $5.
A year ago I would have told you rooting is pointless and custom ROMs are dangerous, but I've had a hugely positive experience with XDA and the roms these devs have released. Given the wide user appeal the site offers,(remember this is something for free, rare these days,) you can't hate on the people that don't get it.
It seems like XDA draws both those that have the open source mindset, and a very small minority of people that have no idea how a cell phone works, or could change a tire for that matter. They don't know what kind of time and effort goes into software and they don't care to know. These are people that can't help themselves. They see something cool and they want it.
Remember though, this is a small portion of people, so a better statement here, I think would be "occasionally, one of you is greedy."
Just my 2 cents.

And how hard can it be to click the thanks button? I do it for every OP when I use their ROM or their work or whatever. But when I have my own work viewed over 50 thousand times and downloaded over 1500 times, and receive 75 thanks, then have people ask if I can do this or that or fix this or that, most of THEM not clicking "thanks," I understand how frustrating it can be...

Most people don't care about the thanks button. I could care leas if people hit thanks. Its just not a big deal to me
