i hate to be the one to say it... but i already know exactly where this thread is leading to.. and it's nowhere good...So, what you're saying is that you're looking forward to ABCindicate's ROM and you're just trying to generate speculation when it will be released? As others have said, it's generally rude to ask for ETAs. And speculation may not reflect reality.
However, let's keep things civil. There is no need to lash out at other members.

why do these threads keep popping up after the many warnings and previous closed threads.. it's always the same people with the same things to say and the same thing always happens, i swear it's like high school all over again lol
Normally I would PM what I'm about to say to you to explain my position, but I feel that it would probably be best to shine some light on it for everyone. If you're curious, hit the show button. It is quite off topic and I am trying to get the thread back on topic. If there is a need, I'll split the topic and we can discuss it there, or take it to Private Chat with Staff.
The problem is that the first post is 'innocent enough'. Meaning that, while it could be interpreted as a post that is trying to 'stir the pot' (as the expression goes - let's not use the T word), it can also be interpreted as a honest question. I do not know how much you, or anyone else that frequents this subforum, ventures out into other forums. However, there is a constant influx of new members to these forums. Some of them will know what they're talking about, a lot of them won't, and a very small number will become troublemakers. As a moderator, I cannot assume that one person is a troublemaker based on a few posts, unless they are blatantly spamming, posting warez, harassing members, or violating the other rules of the forum. When they are simply posting questions, I naturally assume that they are just a newbie who doesn't know forum etiquette. In this particular case, the OP edited his/her post to clarify his/her question, so it makes me believe that he/she is really just trying to ask a question and not cause trouble.
Also, we have a number of teenagers, and possibly even younger, joining these forums. And others are simply impatient. So while sometimes these threads can be annoying and degenerate into something the moderation team has to handle, there is a simple answer. Simply move on. No one is making you reply. If you do think that a person is attempting to 'stir the pot', don't let yourself get sucked in. Also, report the thread. Some of you did, and we thank you for that! However, reporting a thread doesn't mean that we're going to infract or ban someone because of it. We try to evaluate the entire situation and make a decision. Sometimes that is not an easy task, and we're human so sometimes we make bad calls or don't see the entire picture. Another thing is that there is an ignore option on the forums. You can get there by clicking this link: http://androidforums.com/profile.php?do=ignorelist
So, the TL;DR version: Report the thread, ignore them, or politely answer the question to the best of your ability.
I hope this clarifies things a bit and helps everyone understand why warnings and closed threads don't always lead to more drastic measures.
o i understand that completely lol, i know you cant just make decisions off assumptions, and i myself am guilty of getting caught in the mix a few times.. and i know the OP meant no harm when posting this, some people just dont know that saying 1 little thing can start a huuge debate and crate swarms of nasty defensive replies lol.. i honestly feel much better knowing ther a mod (GOD?) watching over this thread to keep it in check lolNormally I would PM what I'm about to say to you to explain my position, but I feel that it would probably be best to shine some light on it for everyone.
