Root The StormDroid Situation (UPDATED 9/20/11)

[Zoandroid]

The same thing nearly happened with Velocity. I don't know what is wrong with some people. They can only get their jollies by causing grief to others.

TesterForRoms, I don't know how you got a hold of our beta, but I do know that what you have done has crossed the line. As of this moment, StormDroid is no longer being made. I'm sure the Ally community will appreciate your actions.

OK, seriously.... grow up.

After all the hard work you put into this rom you guys are going to give up over a leaked beta....I hope you are kidding.

We shall see...

Trident did the same thing, why shouldnt they. If they want their work protected untill release, then thats the rule. Some people work that way and should be respected with high athority

 

[dautley]

We shall see...

Sorry I couldn't continue to help you guys out but I've has a lot of things come up in the last month. If you do decide to release it I can help you out with bandwidth by hosting a link on media fire for you, just let me know if you need help with that.

Come on people, let's have enough respect for people wanting to develop for Ally not to leak things that don't belong to you!!

 

[rhoddog77]

I mean no disrespect but correct me if i'm wrong. Wouldn't it be more harmful to the devs not to release that the community? They are the ones who spent the countless hours on it and they won't even get the satisfaction of seeing/hearing about how everyone loves their work!

Nope, because we devs and testers now get the satisfaction of having our awesome ROM all to ourselves.

I agree.

so true!...but that doesn't work for dev's who use different phones

 

[remicks]

I refuse to let this project die. Leaks may happen, drama may happen, but StormDroid WILL be released. We arent giving an eta because I personally dont want to hear whining about us not releasing our hard work for free on the date we had thought it would be complete.

But I repeat, this ROM will not die.

/rant

On a happier note: The themes are soooooo sexy.

My biggest concern is that as of the time of the leak the ROM still had a LOT of work left to do on it (most of which is now finished). Dont want people thinkin thats how it was gonna release.

... but then you leave me and others who didn't do anything wrong in the dust. Why punish the masses for the ignorant / disrespectful actions of the few? Entirely joking but there is a small element of truth to it.

Obviously it's ultimately up to you guys, and I (in your position) would surely be pissed as all hell. Anyway, I hope you guys do decide to release when it's ready and rest assured, we will all be grateful.

Plus, I just got a new job and will be able to make some donations. Just keep that in mind

I feel the same way as you While this did indeed make us quite mad we do realize a lot of people are waiting on this ROM, even if only for a change of flavor for their Ally. I assure you it will be released for the masses soon enough, were just workin out a few slightly difficult things and then we will have a working version for everyone to go crazy over

 

[imnotmikal]

Just reporting that I have just completed a massive overhaul on the website.

Check it out guys.

Looks great. Can't wait to try it. The wife says thank you.

 

[WhyMyAlly]

I really hope the devs will put all of this aside and help make this cheap phone worth owning. I really apreciate the velocity team for doing their part in improving this phone. I really rely on this handset for everythig communication wise. I need it for internet access so many thanks for wired tether fully functional. I have to own this phone until mid 2013 so anyone that developes a new peice of software I'm all for improvement. I really do like to see stormdroid and all it has to offer and I will be patient because I feel you guys can release better roms than the manufacturer faster than they can. Again thanks for this up comming release as I will b looking forward to use your hard work on this phone.

 

[kool kat2]

Sweet, I came to check out the ally cuz I might get one on friday, if or when this is releases it should make my 30 bucks worth it

 

[yohobojo]

I wouldnt suggest the ally. Lol its awesome and all but it has outdated specs so I suggest you get the motorola Bionic

 

[RideZeLitenin]

BTW can't wait. My phone in total need of a new, fresh rom! Thanks for your efforts

Thumbs up on the new website, ver nice I like.

impatiently awaiting release.

edit: While i'm thinkin about it I have one more suggestion (since I don't know if you're still looking at the google docs thing)... APERTURE/PORTAL THEME! Just a thought.

Hmm... Everyone on the team (Or, most of us) are Portal fans, so I could see this happening, although not at the top of the list of things to do.

After release I'm going to post a theming guide but I will be working on a Portal theme later on
I might even dig up some stuff from my old portal boot animation and splash thread.

... I'm still using it to this day. Far superior to any of the other boot animations.
