I know that Kang refers to someone using someone else's work to build roms, kernels, etc, but where did the term originally come from?
at a couple guesses:
1. Kang County, Ganju, China, since Chinese companies have been the biggest kangers ever
2. Kang the Conqueror (aka Rama-Tut) from Marvel Comics, who steals technology from throughout time to try to take over the world
possibly both. possibly neither.
I have faith in nerds that it's #2
maybe named after a person http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kang_(Korean_name)

I commute everyday using the train to the city and back. On the train, I've noticed that the women tend to have the mainstream stuff (kindle, ipad, etc.) while the men tend to have something else. May be it's my imagination. I just want to know how many here are men and how many are women.
Guess it depends if you're a gadget geek or not. I am (and I'm a female) but my DH isn't (and he works in high tech!). He wants the iPad and I told him I'm not supporting anymore Apple products.

My DH doesn't even know how to turn a computer on ... I have to set up all the electronics for him and show him how to use them.
He has many other talents, however.

Thats soooo olddd omg. There is an app called carrier iq to tell if u if you have it. Most of providers have removed and almost every single custom rom has it removed. Dude this article is form december 2011.
That's old news. Like, really old. Look at the date on the article. Verizon doesn't use CIQ on any of it's devices. It may use something else, but so far we don't know of anything, so any claims otherwise are just FUD.

as stated by other memebers, IQ has been removed from most newer devices or has been changed to collect data anonymously
yeah i noticed it was old but just thought it was an interesting read... shouldnt of put the title that way but never the less its interesting.
i guess the cool thing is that developers can find these things since android is an open platform. If you were running an iPhone chances are you could never know!

My Intention was not too be rude hahaha i was excited. Anyone takers on the port? pretty please stinky like some old cheese. Also, unfortunately the only thing i can cook is a peanut butter sandwhich (just kidding) so i cant produce a kernel. Although, i could find an international version an bring it over although that wouldnt help because there on a different CPU right?

I'd recommend either asking the Devs in the other thread about making it quincyatt friendly or it may be time to find the online tutorials to learn to make your own roms. We're always happy to get different roms

When I was your age you know what I was doing? I had my nose buried in a computer learning all I could. Hell my nickname used to be Captain Dipswitch because if I found a dipswitch, more than likely I'd mess with it. Knowledge is gained by learning and doing. Now I'm the security Admin for a relatively large company because I loved to play with computers. If this is something your passionate about, like studacris said you could be the next elite recognized developer and even more. Never sell yourself short and never tell yourself you can't do something because with enough motivation you can.

Devs are working hard to build it, but there seems to be issues building it from source and flashing it. Some Quincyatt users tried to flash it when a dev build it, but failed to flash. Be patient . You might have to wait until February or earlier, because other devs that make roms for other phones are already building Lollipop 5.0.2, which is major fixes,

What kind of proof do we have that we aren't waiting on a ghost?
There is no proof. The original Note is a very aged device now, but very reliable. As reliable as the talent of the developers that exist on XDA. You only have a few choices.
Trust and be patient
Develop yourself
Buy another device.
Don't be so quick to throw the first option away. Sorry, I haven't looked at your stats, but I have been here a while with several devices. One thing I have learned, this device won't die.
Good things come to those who wait. They said the Note wouldn't get JB. They said it wouldn't run KK.

Was using a Note 3 for a while. Awesome device, but because of the locked bootloder and the fact that safestrap is no longer supported, I just went back to the Note. I'll settle for a slower device as long as I have the flexibility to customize it. I have a hard time understanding why OEMs force consumers into using their ROMs.
P.S. - It's Motorola

That's all fine and dandy, I just wish these mystery developers, could at least Identify themselves and make a note (no pun intended) that they do in fact have intention on porting 5.0 to the note, and are in fact at some stage of development (no eta required). I prefer to have this than to having someone, who isn't claiming to be one of these "undercover developers", tell me "yeah someone is probably working on it, and it's probably going to be out in February." for all I know you may be getting your information from talking to a horses butt hole (no flame intended). Even a link to an non-credible noob from some backwater internet forum saying he's in the beginning development stages would be better than "yeah someone is probably working on it, and it's probably going to be out in February."

Really? I've been running Kit Kat on both of my notes since release! At release there was some bugs, but I'd say sounds like you haven't tried too many distros of it lol! Any newer CM11 runs pretty damn good. And Liquid runs well! I personally found BrokenOS to be practically flawless and I'm running the newest release of Spirit ROM right now and damn its killer! So I'd love to know how you can say Kit Kat is hardly running? LMAO!
