Leaving XDA

Hello GUIse,
I know this may seem a little sudden due to me releasing an update of my theme literally 2 minutes ago, but, the timing couldn't of been any worse. I've received some sort of bad news (to me) and I feel I don't have the strength to keep supporting/making themes anymore. Plus, I now have a new job which is taking most of my time up anything. So, due to these 2 statements above, I can no longer create themes as much as I would love to. This is probably the wrong section but I only posted into the SGSII section anyways. I would like to thank everybody for supporting me. Especially Pulser, who forgave me over the Infusion controveusy.
I'm sorry to B3311 & Pele as I cannot support the Black Android Theme anymore, and sorry to my donators.
I hope to see you in the future.
Take it easy,
NitrozK (My Last Post.)

you don't need to leave XDA, just come by every now and then when you feel like it.
you are not obligated to it.
as long as people have access to your previous work, they can continue from where you have left off.
i myself was off for like a whole month before i was able to continue modding due the similar issues from my real life

It's not only that it's just this theming business is stressing me out. Don't get me wrong, I know how to theme like the back of my hand, but due to this news and my new job I only have time for me if you get what I mean?

we will miss you m8

Good luck nitrozk. Hope everything will be fine eventually.
Really appreciate your work. But there are more important things in life, like life itself.
Take care!

We will miss you.
But you still can use XDA, even if you are not developing anymore.

Sorry to hear that buddy.. U are welcome here anytime

I don't know you nor have I had contact with you but as with any other fellow sgs2 and xda members I wish you all the best and can only hope you get the chance to return soon! All the best!

all the best man, thx alot

I hope you will find a way to absorb and overcome the bad news and possibly some good will come from it. Good luck and have fun with the new job!
Live long and prosper. <\\//

That's sad dude.One of the non-noob guys leaving XDA instead of the noobs is sad itself,but developers/themers leaving is too bad.Anyway,hope all's good and wish you the best.You can come back literally anytime.

I don'y know what the bad news is...but something good always comes out of bad situations.
I'm no Religion freak but prayers always help...in one way or another.
Good luck homie...

Stay... Dont be a gaylord....

Sad to hear, but Real Life comes first.
Take care - you'll be sorely missed.

Are you f**cking kidding me? All I do is my best in this forum but yet people slag me off for it. I'm telling people because if I did go without a trace I'd get shed loads of PM's about it. My life isn't going as planned as yours is (obviously). Please explain to me why I am an attention seeker? So, I'm like every other dev in this forum then? I don't think I am a celebrity, I do my work, people like it, end of. Nothing else to it. Sorry "Mr Perfect". I didn't want to give a reason as to why I have to leave but you gave me no choice. Someone close to me died yesterday 2 minutes after I released a new version of the Black Android Theme.
Good riddance.

[ROM][IML74K] ICZen rc1.4 - Royale with Cheese - 3-24-12 [Deficient Development]

I have a dream, that one day my fellow brethren will be noticed and respected for their contributions.
I have a dream, that actual contributors to the community will garner a bit more respect from the mods of their respective forums.
I have a dream, that not only the community and the developers live together in harmony, but that mods (in other forums) aren't going to be total micro managing assholes going on a power trip.
I have a dream.
Oka1, you are ****ing great man, the best! But some of your fellow mods are really getting to be jackasses, and having driven one of my good friends and newly formed team mates away, I am going to follow suit.
I'm taking all my **** down from XDA, and moving to Greener Pastures.
Please, join us.

The ones that are in the Rom Control through Settings. Thank our boy Romanbb for all that funky stuff. I prefer the battery bar in the status bar myself, and hiding the normal battery icon.

My warranty is void now Brick'd thanks my man keep up the good work

Looks good man!

Are you able to resize widgets with the launcher?
Sent from my phone, not yours.

Thanks for the good words everyone, I hope the initial tests are going smoothly, please report issues so they can be logged and addressed.
I don't deserve much credit for this, all of the sources came from others, I just put them together how I see they best fit. My biggest contribution was getting the external to mount on the SGS with the crespo (nexus s) source framework.
When I have the time, I'm going to get my Linux box up and running, with the goal being to build ICS from source, directly and solely for the Vibrant, since well thats the phone I have, and still rock.
Until I can get a solid build going from source for us, I feel this is a suitable substitute.

Migrating to the GSIV Forums

Hello, everybody, RegnierD here. As an RC, I just wanted to let the SIV family know that when my phone arrives in the mail this weekend, I will be joining you. I try to watch as many different threads as I can to help people with questions and problems they may be having on their device. That being said, I cannot see keep track of everything going on, so if anyone, from n00bs to Senior Members, need help with anything, feel free to PM me and I will be more than happy to help you to my full extent, which may not be much, but it's certainly enough for troubleshooting.
I have yet to develop my own rom so I'm not much help there for any aspiring developers, but I am comfortable with making small mods to framework files as well as drag and drop theming in decompiled apks. I am also willing to help users teach themselves how to do this. There are many comprehensive guides all of the internet on how to do so, but sometimes having a person with which to speak is helpful.
That is all. I just wanted to give a short introduction and let the community know that there is help out there if they need it! I'm very excited for this phone, and I hope everyone is enjoying it as much as I'm sure I will.

So us user's who like to contribute to the Theme's and APP's sections could ask u for help regarding tweaks, mods and theming?
Why not make a IRC channel?

Great to see the GS4 forum start to pick up and get some great developers and contributors on board!
Got the phone the morning of, so it's picked up a lot since then obviously! Glad to have you on board!

Did not expect to see what I saw coming into xda today. does anyone have a copy of 5.6 they can share out?

don't count on it... when there is drama between users and mods the ban hammers come out quick and fast. links get popped quick.
It is really too bad, but this seems to be entirely self-inflicted and we are left high and dry until another Dev steps up.

Was looking for this thread, I take it KnoxRaid is pretty much done and over with now?
I mirrored v5.6 about a week ago here - Took link down, need clarification on rules of sharing the files on forum, PM for link
Im not sure if I would advise using it at this point though

I'm running 5.5 and it is fine with 1 or 2 minor issues and 5.6 was a consideration... However, I'm not certain that the dev will be working on this soon, he seems to have been trying to play a donation game.
Likely it was a momentary lapse in judgment, but not something that would be tolerated on XDA and rightly so.
Hopefully another dev can step up and produce as good a product as this, but it seems that KnoxRaid is over. Oh well... I just got a Galaxy Gear and I can play with that for a while.

Yeah, its to bad. Well FireNote is top notch IMO, its been great so far. We will just have to wait to see what takes center stage I suppose.
It is quite odd that he sold two Note 3s on swappa just awhile ago though.

It's unfortunate because he certainly seemed like a talented and dedicated dev. Brought a lot of goodness to our Note 3. I also started becoming skeptical of his requests for donations and think he just got caught up in how easy it was for him to raise spare cash, sell a phone and get another. Once he got the M8, I think his attentions turned to that phone and he figured he'd ride the Note 3 wave as long as he could. I don't doubt that he probably would have continued dev'ing for our phone had he been sent a free Note 3...but I'm sure in time "something" would have happened to that phone as well. As I said though, very unfortunate for all of us Note 3 owners as he truly did devote a lot of his time to our phones. He's young and has a lot to learn still...hopefully this is a lesson in honesty and humility that he takes to heart.

Well stated, my thoughts exactly... Just disappointed now...

I have some of his files saved but not sure if it can be shared anymore, will have to look into that. The rom is sweet, but the things that happened behind the scenes was sour to the core.

through the years i have learn a lot from them, made knowledgable purchases and enjoyed my devices to its fullest.
