Bootloader unlock campaign

This might be the wrong section, but this is the section in which tis will get the most visibility
(mods can move if if they feel otherwise)
A forum thread over at XDA-Developers has started Operaition: Make Ourselves Heard (a.k.a. #OPMOSH), which calls for a onslaught on all possible channels - FCC complaints, emails to Motorola Mobility's leaders, Twitter and Facebook and an online petition too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419815
Motorola’s announcement last year that bootloaders would be unlocked on their devices sometime during the second half of 2011.
Well, if you haven’t noticed, 2011 has officially come and gone and there hasn’t been a single announcement or acknowledgement from Motorola regarding the issue. It’s this silence that has Motorola customers in such an uproar. If you find yourself in this camp, grab your pitchfork sign the online petition and head on over to the thread where they’ll have all the info you need to help make your voice heard.

I Searched the atrix forum for "bootlocker unlock campaign" and all i got was an AT&T specific one dated march.
As i said the mods can move this thread if they want and you're free to report it. Its just that the Rom development section gets the most traffic and the more people that read about the campaign the better.
And the Thread mentioned in the OP is in the RAZR forum,not here. just making sure people know about it.

OK listen I'm gonna start posting random **** in whatever place I want because I.want people to read it. What? That's retarded? I know, but I just want people to read my junk!

Thank you sir. you're really contributing in maintaining the quality of this forum =)
Didn't anybody read the first post.there is a report button RIGHT NEXT TO IT
But no, we have to fill every thread with our wise ass comments .
The atrix bootloader is unlocked but not officially. we have plenty of people Bricking their phones with the method we have.
And if you want this thread to be move please REPORT it.Dont keep posting rants

this thread should be about campaigning Motorola to start releasing ICS for Atrix, not to unlock bootloader, since we have the bootloader unlocked long time ago.

Now while I understand how you feel. First XDA doesn't condone spamming anyone. The petition is enough. Second there is already a thread about this in general section. No need for another one.

PSX User Thread/Information - Latest ver.: V3! Merry X-mas! :)

Hi all!
So... the PSX thread is finally closed... but I guess some of us will keep using it, right? So I thought that it would be interesting to create a user thread for this great ROM.
UPDATE: A brief FAQ for you.
Q: So, what happened to the thread?
A: The developer got (allegedly) tired of the slackness of the majority of the people posting in the development thread, i.e. repeating questions that were already answered, repeating requests about features that were already requested, complaints about bugs that were already reported and mostly app/user related, etc.
Q: No more PSX?
A: Incorrect. Development goes on and you can follow it here. I will try to update this post with the most important updates, as apparently some people can't access the new forum from restricted access networks (office).
Q: Can we get nightlies and stuff?
A: It's possible, head out to the PSX forum and read the rules. I will only post released versions here, as the developers clearly want access to the nightlies to be limited, and I wouldn't want to get banned from their forum, would I?
Rejoice! V3 is finally here!
Changelog and mirror thanks to @infiltrata

Yes I think it makes sense!
Would be great if someone could follow ct's github and maybe build and share the releases...
On other news, I took the ART "plunge" this morning and so far I'm pretty happy with it! I lost about 1800 point in Quadrant, true, but battery life seems to have improved a lot! Don't know, maybe just placebo... I'll let it settle and try to give it some "normal" use and then I'll switch back to dalvik to compare... we'll see!
Oh and no compatibility issues so far. I was afraid that Carmageddon wouldn't work but it works perfectly with kitkat and art ^_^

Gone but not forgotten
I am a happy PSX user as a well. I tried catching up on all the issues but that was causing the problems but am still wondering since the thread is closed does that mean that CTFROMMN will never release any future updates or new Roms to us regular Joes? As a very new N4 owner I had only tried a few Roms but I have to say hands down, his latest work is the best that's out there right now. Its a shame if its the last one we will see.

I don't always post on XDA, I'm usually one of those who just lurk around and conduct experiments on their cellphone.
A few days ago I bought Nexus 4 after selling my old SGS2, and I tried several roms (both stock and non-stock), and the one that has actually caught my eye was PSX.
Smooth (even though Nexus 4 itself is smooth as hell), feature-rich, battery-friendly, and most importantly - bug free.
I don't know if ctfrommn is reading this (probably not), but just in case he does - you rock. You've made my experience with this device probably 10X better than with any other ROM.
I've read what you said on the official post and I agree that some people need to just shut the hell up and be thankful for what they get.
If you love something, keep on doing it, and let the nay sayers kiss your ass while doing it.
You did a great job on this ROM, and I'm sure a lot of people around here think so as well.
Thank you for your incredible work. I hope I'll get the chance to test and use your and your friends' creations in the future.

can some1 tell me what happened? my n4 is on lg service center, so i didnt check xda :/

^^^^ psx thread was all filled with posts like 'ohh i love this rom, this if do fast so smooth' and there were other posts all having complaints.1000's of posts like these..dev got tired of reading all those useless posts.. warned again and again but nobody listened.. No idea what happened yesterday but I'm sure that dev's mind should've snapped for sure after watching helplessly at the state of thread...
Anyways.. It shouldn't be a problem If There sources keep on getting updated.

Buuut I would much rather if this thread was used to report about problems/show off performance/etc of PSX instead of just feeling sorry about the other thread. For example, has any of you given a chance to ART? What did you think about it?

No Mellowrom

For some reason it looks as if Mellowrom was locked down. I Just wanted to remind anyone like me who is using this rom and need support that Mellowrom has a Google Plus community and you will be able to get all your questions answered there. Hopefully this is not a permanent thing because this rom is petty solid. In case you can't find the link to the community, here it is.

His Rom is on another forum

Why is it locked down ? I don`t get that.
Slip is a cool, nice and friendly guy. He does great work and helps where ever he can !!
Come on Mods, you must be kidding.. reopen it !!!!

More and more developers are leaving XDA to places where they have moderator rights to cull the obnoxious and demanding posts.

just so that you know and spread the real truth, his threads are not locked down. if he isnt posting on xda, that is his choice and nothing to do with xda.

The only reason I thought it was locked down was because when I went to post on it yesterday, it would not allow me and it said, "this thread is locked". That's great to hear if it isn't locked down. I will have to try again. Thank you.

actually, im wrong. it is closed because of a profanity laced post by the op. it will stay closed until the dev talks to the mids about it. so, xda did close it, but because of the devs use of colorful language(which he was warned about before).

When could we except Kernel Sources?

Hi all.
My question is about kernel sources. I know devs can do magic if the sources are out there.
So, does Xiaomi typically give kernel sources? When would they do that? And especially why?
I am trying to understand how Xiaomi stands in that regard.
Cheers!

They are some of the worst. Even when they do release it, it is broken or incomplete. No one that has any choice buys their devices.

I have now filed a complaint with the XDA admins, asking them if they think it's ok with moderators that keep posting falsified information and non constructive nonsense. You are certainly lowering the quality of the threads. I don't know why, and I don't care why - but please help making XDA a better place instead of posting things no one wants to read.

You can think what ever you want but my comments are very much true. If a developer is looking for a device to develop on Xiaomi is is avoided due to their lack of following the GPL. Think I am wrong why not have a read HERE where we talk about it in length.

No idea. Their selection criteria which device source to release also remains unrevealed.

maybe 1year after the release of Mi5. Thats what they did with Mi3 right?

The kernel sources are published. Are they complete and are they useful for the dev(s)?

here are the kernel sources

@thunderrr0 I know they are published but I have not found anybody who can tell whether the sources can be used or are broken.

Only developers will know for sure unless you download the source and try to build it as is. Most of the time there takes lots of fixes and hacks to get it working. Main reason most developers won't buy their devices.

Almost, read this.
This is a Quote from a Post.
Back in early September of 2016 there was a situation between a friend of mines and XDA. This friend’s name is Nate Benis or better known as Beanstown106. Nate or should I say “Beans” as I call him was upset that a individual had taken his work and posted it on XDA prior to him releasing his official build. He really got upset. This was probably the first time that I had seen Beans upset in public. He normally keeps his thoughts private and so I was surprised. He pulled his source off github and took to G+ to call this guy out.

Not much. Alex didn't like XDA's direction, which seems fair. Creates new site to recreate what once was, admin gets upset, escalates things. Too much drama for me.
I wholeheartedly agree with the "glorified tech support" thing though. It seems most people here can't even pull up proper logs when they have issues. "issue here plz fix o kind dev."
I think XDA has become more of a tech site instead of an actual developer website, albeit developers still post here. If you look at Dev's Base, it doesn't have the completely off topic posts that XDA does. Not saying its a bad thing that XDA does, it just seems Dev's base is a dev site not a tech site.

What firmware are you all using on the new Jan18 build?

Have you tried and success to install Viper4android or any audio mod ?

Sorry if I came across harsh, and discussion is allowed. Just don't see the point of doing it here, when you could get responses from people who actually develop this ROM over on their G+. That's what I really meant, don't see point in this thread. Discussing it is allowed.

IDK, the large majority of Dev's Base seems to not be there for "tech" stuff. Considering the current lead of the site, I doubt it will change either. Its possible though.

It's only possible to keep the site that way if it remains small or if they ban every new user that doesn't know enough.
Looking at their G+ page and at what some DU users ask here on XDA, it's clear not everyone is a genius. Allow normal users to create accounts and install your fancy ROM and then you have a typical XDA thread with dumb questions.
