The thread in the dev section was shut down by the mods for having an external link. Ziggy does not want to maintain a thread of his own on xda since he already maintains his site. So if any of you want to find his kernels, you can google ziggy471.
I have found his kernels to be beasts both for the inc and for the bolt. And have helped him test those for both devices. If anybody wishes to ask questions, feel free to do so on his site. He is very responsive.
Finally, I'm not sure why xda cares so much about external links. Its not as though they share ad revenue with devs who actually drive business to the site with their work!

I also agree, used Ziggy kernels on previous devices and they were great.
Thanks for the info, ill be trying his kernel for the tbolt now
Its dumb that they don't allow externel links...

Hold on a second... A lot of devs link to their external sites... This is not unusual... Is this a new rule?
Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk
I assume it's because his site contains a pseudo-blog. They don't allow that.
If the external site is purely downloads-only it's typically allowed. None of the mods ever had issue with devs hosting files on my site and linking to them.
Not sure why they are enforcing that now but the storm thread was also locked down for a short while.
And you are right, many of the threads have external links. I'm curiously watching which threads they go after and which ones are holy cows.

Just to clarify, yes my thread was closed due to external links but that's not the whole story. From what I understood from the moderator all kernels posted on xda has to be complaint to the GPL. I can post links to his kernel only if ziggy provides a link to his source. Will contact ziggy later for this info if possible so I can get my thread open again.

That's my understanding too. XDA is really big on being compliant with GPL. When someone asks for a kernel source and there is no response, 99.9/100 XDA will close the thread.
But if Ziggy is well known then why would they assume he was doing something damaging with his kernels?

It has nothing to do with that. XDA adheres to the GPL, and so should he. He is breaking the license by not posting his source. By the way, check his github. He is not publishing it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755389
Anyone remember the stink we had over HTC doing the same thing?
I have never fully understood the gpl thing. Can somebody explain what it means in non legal terms? Why isn't it a problem if google does not release their honeycomb source code? I'm confused. Also, does this apply only to kernels or to roms too? And finally are there any carve outs for developer's to create unique code for themselves? Or if I decide to modify something for myself, I have to share it, github etc.
Sent from my thunderbolt
By the way, it was never a thread he started. It was posted by somebody else to start a discussion on xda about his kernels. Ziggy had never really cared to be on xda himself. He did not have a thread on the inc kernels either. And none of us cared, because all knew where to get them.
Sent from my thunderbolt
Then get them there.
Posting them here requires adherence to the GPL.
As mentioned earlier, it was not his thread. We have always gotten them from his site. Somebody else started a discussion thread for the benefit of users. I was surprised on seeing the thread because he found maintaining a thread too much work and xda also is not the correct format.
If the gpl license terms have to be applied always, can we please also ban all miui threads too? Lets not be hypocritical. Miui has never released its source code either yet their threads thrive.

I personally think if its a development related discussion it belongs here. Not to say this post has any direct relation to "current development" There doesn't have to be a zip or a side load or a script to be a development related post.
Maybe our development sections (for all devices) should have restricted access to post unless the mods deem the memeber a developer. Read/write and read only type scenario. :-/

I don't own a tbolt but seems to be a lot of talk on the 4g not playing to nice. Think it was acting like wifi when it couldn't get a good 4g connection, trying, failing, reverting to 3g, then repeating. Again don't have one so just repeating what others have said, i'm sure theres lots on the sit in the tbolt forum. Whatever the exact issue is, its most likely centered on the lte radio.
Nice article. Relates directly to the biggest issue of all android devices. Good performance = bad battery. This helps clarify that. KEEP IN ANDROID [email protected]!

Where do people discuss development issues if not in the development section? This section like you pointed out is where everyone comes to get the latest rom or kernel.

Oh yeah, to the OP, thanks for the info but facepalm as to the section you posted it in.
is a full wipe needed? what kernel does it come with....
So before you all decide to keep flaming me for posting in this thread, check my post history I am fully aware of what the different forums are for as a matter of fact I posted a Question this morning in the Q&A Forum.
This is a universal problem across ALL ROMs and has been discussed in EVERY single ginger bread based ROM in this forum, and as such I felt it was the appropriate place to get as much dissemenation as possible. Please don't insult my common sense as I assure you I have plenty of it.
As for the quote of "Pandora ROM" I'm pretty sure my post was NOT entitled [ROM] or [Kernel] or [Mod] so give me some credit there... If someone who Moderates these forums thinks there is a better place for it feel free to move it, but the reality is I was trying to help as many people as possible, I didnt post something that says, "Excuse me how do I do an hboot or flash a ROM" I posted a universally applicable piece of information.
Have a fantastic day and for all of you flaming me enjoy your Pandora now that you know the fix has been released (even though it was posted in this forum)
Cheers.

Regardless of the reason it is still the wrong forum. Explain it however makes you feel warm and fuzzy but this is the development forum and a market app update is not development. Just saying.
Also if people didn't see it in the Themes & Apps forum they would have seen it when they loaded the market and saw there was an update available.
I could give two ****s where its posted. I'm glad I seen it cause I normally just browse my favorite threads.
Thanks again to the OP.

Every one doing open source coding is bound by gpl it means that they have to share the source code.
Also they are using cyanogen stuff and not crediting them.
Sent from my GT-I9100
It means that the android kernel is protected by GPL laws. Which means the source code has to be made available. MIUI breaks these laws and refuses to post the source. So all MIUI roms have to have a custom kernel not made by the MIUI team.
Wow, finally! I always thought it was crazy that all developers were forced to immediately release their source code, while MIUI was worshipped by everyone and nobody said anything about source code. This is definitely a good thing IMHO...
I don't get why the android police are closing all the s2 threads when miui is being discussed in many other forums and threads on XDA? Isn't it ironic that those closing the threads because miui won't be open are themselves limiting free discussion? Fair enough, don't link to the roms, people know where they are if they want them, but surely discussion of said roms should be allowed?

If you want to disscuss the rom feel free to do it on the roms site.
The threads were closed due to breaking XDA rules. Plain and simple.
I wanted to know what in your guys opinion matches the following Criterion:
ROM - Fast, Stable, no FCs, great battery life, everything works (task manager, Camcorder, doesn't allow phone to self-reboot)
kernel - Stable, fast, doesn't crash
Recovery - Same critrea as above
Modem - EH03 maybe? It seems to be the best so far.
But I think you guys get the drift, I would like to hear all your opinions in the Development section so that I can pick up all the individual components. Thanks in advance.

Hey all,
As some of you have probably noticed by now, we have a new Development section for original works. As explained in the portal article Introducing the Original Development Forums, these forums were found to be very useful in other sections and there has been a lot of requests to add them for more devices.
Please refer to the article for general guidelines on what is and isn't appropriate to post there, and if you have any questions feel free to ask in this thread or to PM any of the moderators about it.
Those using Tapatalk or the XDA app will probably need to refresh the forums list in order to see it. You can do this by going to the base forum view that list all of the different devices and refreshing or by unsubscribing and then resubscribing to this section.
Thank you for addressing our request

Ok, this explains a lot. I thought I was going nuts for a sec.
i wish we had a poll asking if we wanted this, iv always been agianst separating dev section, for the same thing, this just alienated and confuses the users.
I tend to agree with siul.
Do you know how much extra work is to have three main folders to check under each device? General / Development (read ROMS that are cool but came from another device) / and Original Development (ROMS that are still based on others work but have been tweaked/setup somewhat uniquely.)
Honest to God, those were my reactions. So I know where siul is coming from...how is MIUI in a different thread than AOKP? If you add a few apps that look different and don't ship with AOKP, is that suddenly original?
Again, not trying to start drama but just my two cents.
EDIT: Just read the whole justification for this. I get it, but still think it's another layer of stuff to sort through.

I don't see how this works then, because none of my roms are based on someone else's work. and if what you say was true, then all aosp roms compiled from chad's git should be placed on the general dev section instead of the "original dev section" since everyone's aosp rom is based on his work(compiling it docent make it your work). And please understand im just trying to make a point here, no trying to be an ass or anything. i just hate the idea of roms being divided by 2 different dev sections. its just prone to confusion.

I don't see how this works then, because none of my roms are based on someone else's work. and if what you say was true, then all aosp roms compiled from chad's git should be placed on the general dev section instead of the "original dev section" since everyone's aosp rom is based on his work(compiling it docent make it your work). And please understand im just trying to make a point here, no trying to be an ass or anything. i just hate the idea of roms being divided by 2 different dev sections. its just prone to confusion.

That's what I think. All of the AOSP ROMs built from Chad's git are not original unless chad himself released a ROM.

I don't take your response to that effect in any way and no intent to malice received.
"The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:
Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already."

This plainly states that the self compiled roms belong on the Android Development forum so I side with you in that aspect. However, there is no official or maintainer version of CyanogenMod roms or AOKP thread available so unless Chad uploads his build in this forum as he rightfully could, these builds (from what I understand) can and should be posted here.
