[Q] Why the user j00m is disabled? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to download the ROM "j00m Kitkat 4.4.2 optimized bionic" for the Nexus One. But the user j00m has been disabled and the thread is deleted. Anyone know what happened?

I can't say for sure but as I've seen his Roms posted they appeared to be little more than rip offs of the couple nexus1 devs left, also the op of the threads pandered for money and thanks. My best guess is the real developers got annoyed and finally had a word with moderators.
This is all just speculation though

I think he doesn't have accept from developers to port their ROMs...

Ok, thanks.
I thought: "His ROMs would Malware? And for that reason have expelled"

No malware, I was using his rom [edit: and am using it now as my daily driver]. I actually thought it was [and still is] the best post-Gingerbread rom available. It was basically Evervolv slimmed to 210mb system and a few tweaks for "lazy people" - details here. The mod who closed his thread cited 2 reasons:
j00m's rom wasn't "different" enough (tho I don't know how he can make that call as it was clearly different enough for me and others to prefer it),
j00m didn't get permission from texasice (isn't everything open source? why is permission necessary?)

Ok, thanks for all.
In your explanations I'm calmer

Rules are rules.

too bad, he was one of the best in here, his rom is amazing,
but rules are rules

Just to clear up some stuff I saw:

The ROM was removed because it was essentially Evervolv taken from another developer and called his own. We do not allow that without permission as that is taking someone else's work, slapping on a few tweaks and calling it your own. No credit to the original developer, no mention of where the base came from, nothing. It's disrespectful, and is akin to someone taking the lunch you painstakingly made, adding pepper and then proclaiming it's his, with big donation banners around the plate of food. Not what the original developer would like, yes? That was why his ROM was removed. As for the bit about open source, j00m did not post the kernel sources he used, which was violating GPL and against the spirit of open source. While Evervolv is indeed open source, credit must be given if it is used as a base, and permission must be granted for that by the original developer, as we must respect the work of others as well. Without that, or if permission is not granted, the ROM will be removed from XDA.
TL;DR:
Credit the developers of the base
Ask for permission
Post kernel sources
I hope this clarifies some of the issues I saw. Due to the nature of this thread, I will have to close it as I already saw instructions on evading the ban. My PM is however open to anyone with further queries. Thanks

Too much time.....
Where I can find your excellent rom?
I wait for your HEBREW support.
I love your rom it the best for my SAMSUNG.
I don't think this is the right place for you to make such post ! But anyway, as he said his rom under investigation for the time being.
@simone: i dont think its strange reasons ! U linked ur rom with a licence under CC, which is somehow scr**ing with google and samsung. That's my assumption, maybe i am wrong
Sorry but you have to wait at least 2 days for the Hewbrew patch....cuz now i'm working on restoring my thread as soon as possible...

lol @ trying to re-license other peoples GPL work into your own CC license.
Always nice when people use opensource work for their own project and then try to close it down. Good thing GPL does not allow for such questionable practices.

As said, i can remove this license!!!!!
you also have to provide the source for all GPL projects upon request (where you have modified source code, otherwise you can point to the original project), that includes DGO's kernel - and as far as i know he's refusing to release the source (which is illegal and unethical anyway)
you probably just need to use another kernel in that case (there are many good / better ones anyway)
I have promised myself not to say anything about this, everything will be explained in favor of XDA. So it does not matter what we say regarding this issue.
I have stopped all my development activities on XDA.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. Heinlein

probably because XDA is in fact, right
Not only they are but they have a legal obligation to make people mostly respect the laws. They allow a lot of margin (technically a lot of the rom repacking with samsung's property for example isn't exactly legal) so the XDA hating because complying to a few simple and fair licenses is "too hard" is rather dumb.
Suppose this topic will be moved to a proper location or closed also

3. if we provide access to tweaks, they d be in every rom, and nothing would be unique...we do not give permission...
and these guys dont care and just steal whatever they want that isnt theirs to take...linking to this garbage on xda, just pisses all of us (team venom, cant speak for virtuous) off...we cant control what is done in the wild west of chinese forums where theft and piracy are the norm, but seeing it on legitimate development sites like xda is gross...these guys even disable tweak protection in our app (which requires roms to have Viper in them for tweaks to work) so they can call it whatever they want

12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

[Q] Diversity of roms/kernels

Hi,
Firstly, I don't want to sound unrespectful to developers. It is just a few complains but I admire the time each one spend for creating new roms. There are lots, lots of roms/kernels in the android development section. It's a complete jungle! For a non technical user, I find it really difficult to choose a rom because:
There are no standard table stating what is different with the other. The list described by each developer is not always clear. Especially when he or she sees "aroma", "CRT", "ram hack", "zipalign" without explication. Wouldn't one nice and small sentence be sufficient to explain these terms?
The issues for each rom are not tracked. I think there should be a tracking system like JIRA so that we can confirm if a bug is already described and if it is still present in future release.
It should be clear if a rom is based from stock or AOSP rom (edit: it's not always obvious).
There is no centralized topic explaining the differences. But I have seen there is topic listing roms.
To my mind, there should be in each rom description something like a history, a short sentence like "I have based this rom on this other rom because I feel it lacks this and that." (not always the case), instead of just throwing "hi, [screenshot], how to install this rom?". ^^
I believe what happen is that one user will check the 3 or 4 first roms and will get confused.
Generally speaking, I feel that when you read a rom description from the author, it is addressed to technical people. I think a centralized JIRA (each rom = one project) idea would be very helpful to compare but I don't know if it is easy to implement.
What do you think?

Actually always or it is baseed on stock or aosp or cyanogenmod it's pretty much in every thread i see. it's always described in the information they write.
and a centralized topic where is everything written well. it's for everybody else some like Lg stock ui and some like more clean android
Issue tracking jira i dont really understand i only know that developers are just wanting a catlog if there is a problem so they can see from what the problem is coming from or what it is related.
and that from a short sentence well. every rom misses something it's for everybody different and in almost all roms they are describing where it is based on and they have permission to use other work (the base) but some people are not asking it like the miui team who just took kowalski kernel without permission and they don't even give credit or something like that.
this post is just my opinion how i think it is

I do support the idea of asking the developers for more detailed info of their ROM / kernel features, however keep in mind that this is an Android development site - members are expected to have some level of knowledge and / or the will to learn stuff by themselves.
On the other hand, I've seen developers who care enough to spend time writing detailed documentation about their work and yet you'll find people asking questions or posting stuff without even reading the OP or using the search function. This obviously discourages the developer. Who will want to spend hours or even days writing how their stuff works or what are its main features if people won't take the time to read it?

I understand, but I don't ask for hours of well descriptions. One sum-up sentence and one link to a topic where other people has already spent the time should be enough. Example: an developer says "here are the 3 kernels [links]" and the only difference you can tell when looking at the links was "32rh", "16rh", "0rh". I had to guess that "rh" is ram hack and search for what it is. While with just "the ram hack is taking memory from GPU for the CPU", it's a clean and quick explanation. Otherwise people are bound to ask questions when they see this.
As for the JIRA system, it's just more obvious to see, for a newcomer:
how much issue a rom has at the moment
if a troubling issue important for you is described and prevent you from using the rom (so you don't waste time)
help the developer to see easyly what is wrong (instead of navigating through all the post)
help the developer by centralizing all the relevant information for one issue in one page, instead of having these spread everywhere

They said you can build it for yourself, but do not share publicly. That's why it suggests to me that permission should be gained. Not only out of courtesy and respect (as is often the case here on XDA - as well it should) but also as they explicitly came here and requested things not be shared.
The fact it is on github does not mean they want it to be shared. Github is a collaboration tool first and foremost. To say they cannot use the collaboration tool within their own team otherwise it's fair game for people disrespecting there wishes is unfair. Sure. they may now want the build to be shared publicly, and if that is the case, perhaps this thread should be locked as a duplicate and the original re-opened, but I haven't seen any official statement here yet that public sharing is now accepted.
I think perhaps we should ask @ApriliaM3 for comment as the moderator locking the last thread at PA's request

again, they shared it publicly. if they share it publicly, then whoever wants can share it. their permission is not needed. and, on top of that, since they shared it publicly, they also need to provide the kernel source. if not, then they are violating gpl.

no. they have every right to close an xda thread if they want, it it might never be opened, if they dont want. they have that right. but xda isnt the only public website. they shared it publicly, not in private, on another website. since it was shared publicly, it is public now. and anyone who grabs it has the right to reshare it. dont get me wrong, i do not use PA, nor do i want to try it. but, as a rom that is shared publicly by them, they lose the right to say that no one can share it. while it was not public, in a private testing group, they can say it. but cant say it about a publicly shared rom. this thread isnt opened by them, and shares what they share in public on a different site.

Thats just it though, they didnt share it on or to the other website. At least I cannot see anywhere on the site linked in the OP that PA shared a build. Its a quote from a G+ post (and link back) that had no builds then 5 unofficial builds added. So nothing has changed since the last lock. The site in question appears to have done the same as the OP of the last thread which was locked.

that is also a possibility. if that site shared it without permission, than these builds are still public, unfortunately. whoever is the spokesperson for pa will have to take care of it. they can also ask a mod to remove it from here, then a mod will decide if its appropriate to remove or leave(most likely they would remove it). but it is up to them to ask to remove it.
All OP has to do is just point to the Google plus community group page and tell us to download the betas through there. I'm sure they allow linking to their community page at least.

I can't either. You know, they had planned to release something last weekend but the host of their gerrit went down so they couldn't. Do you guys really want a release of PA without Hybrid? without PIE? without Halo?. I mean, they'll give it to us anyways but frankly I don't see the point. Why not use one of the 100 other ROMS with the same features in each while you wait? I mean just look at the ROMS out for hammerhead right now, they're all remarkably similar. Granted if you look at that feature list of the "beta" there are a few standout features but other than that why do you guys want a ROM that won't have what makes PA unique? You've waited 1.5+ months you can't wait a little longer? lol.

Do you guys really want a release of PA without Hybrid? without PIE? without Halo?

No not at all..
I looked also and didn't see any.
You could make a build yourself and cherry pick those things but don't be surprised if it won't boot or if it does you get lots of bugs.
The stripped PA is only while it's in beta. From what I understand, hybrid still has an issue with DPI right now and they're working on combining halo and pie. Plus the hosting issues with their gerrit. I don't think normal PA builds will be too far behind the betas. At least hopefully.
Just check out their gerrit. A crap load got merged on the 18th now that they're back up and there's some cool stuff up for review too. ParanoidOTA, Knock Knock to sleep, battery light, something about voiceplus. Who knows what will and won't get merged but the PA guys are hard at work. They recently switched up their hosting too so now that that's all taken care of, the ball is finally rolling.

Oh I have to give this a try! I have been waiting for paranoid.
All the sweet features like halo and hybrid have been broken by kitkat. That's why they haven't released anything official yet.

They may have been broken by KitKat I have no clue. But PA themselves said that they have build a brand new clean base for 4.4 and are building off of that. So they are making sure everything works great with the new base then the features will be added. I've been using PA 4.0 since that site posted the beta and I can say its fast and smooth just like stock and the immersive mode is great.

Anyone got a diff/patch from nvidia's stock to our kernel?

As the title says, i'm mainly asking because i do believe that moving on with newer nvidia hardfp compatible blobs and merging with newer kernels is fully possible.
What i mainly need is just the diff, a patch format will work too.
I'd ask in the Original Dev section but i'm restricted for ten posts and rather than wasting ten posts i though i'd ask something useful.

Not quite what i was looking for, i'm looking to port it to 3.10 but without the basic LGE diff stuff it's... well to do it takes a couple of weeks but without a diff it will be mainly guesswork.
the point would be that i'm willing to spend the time if someone can give me the LGE specific diff from stock Nvidia.
And i've been a dev in linux for arm for over 20 years and a dev for android for over 3 years now, i am not requesting anything any user can help me with, this is strictly an original dev question.
If you want to make this real hard, only the AOSP team and the various manufacurer devs should have access to original development, development would be for app programmers only and the other forums would be for you, i'd still be in the original code forum.
I don't know what is wrong with this forum, i have never in my life encountered a forum where users of a mobile wants to get rid of developers.

I'm not a developer, for sure, and I repeat to you that your skills and your effort are appreciated, at least by me.. But I'm quite a lawyer, and a general rule says that when you agree to a community, accepting a social pact or a "terms and policy" act, you are supposed to read and understand them, and if you don't know them, you have to read and act according to them.. These are the bases of any civil society, group, community, the same bases which force unskilled or inexperienced members to read everything before asking, for example.. So, if everyone could act as he wants, every thread here should be full of questions, ETAs, etc.. I can't be more clear than this, so I repeat it for the last time: you're a Dev, I'm not; you've Dev knowledge I haven't; I hope your work will be profitable, and I'll thank you so much when you will eventually reach your goal.. But we have some rules, and everyone has to respect them..

just wanted to say that one of devs which seems to have abandoned our device, kholk with eternityproject, has semi-successfully based his kernel for our device on 3.4 version. perhaps his work can be of some help for you?
