Well, this is nuts for sure. For awhile I stayed out of the drama wars. First Alldroid vs Sholes. Then Alldroid vs Blackdroid. Blackdroid migrates really quickly to DF. So for awhile I figured maybe Alldroid was the problem (no I no longer think that). I tried BD for the first time at UD 8.0. Then 8.6. 9.0,9.8, and 10.0. In the meantime I had used the Cyanogen from 5.0.5.3 on to .7 too. Then with UD 9.8 there was some rumblings of using improperly credited work. It came full force after I did UD 10.0. This is a shame, because for me the UD stuff just plain works smoother, faster, and there is "something" there I liked. I don't know what it is, but I could see it was there.
My first reaction to CRP's post of the spreadsheet was "...well so what, there is half of the stuff there that CM does not even have, so why the give credit hubub?" Then I went back over the list a bit, and while it is mostly Greek to me, it does seem obvious that the real meat and muscle is the yellow highlighted items. Those all matched, and while coincidences can be shown to exist, they don't exist in those numbers in any single place. So something on the wrong side of fishy has to be going on.
So, last night I went back to CM 5.0.5.7. No, I still do not like it as well as I did the UD from 9.0 onwards, but the CM does more than I am capable of doing with it, and I can live just fine with that. I may well try Bugless Beast too, but until something happens with Ultimate Droid to make things right with everyone, I am done with it.
The still locked down Blackdroid section, leaving us to get information elsewhere (in just about all of the other android based forums) does not help me. The shut up and wait from DF does them no good. I also think the moderation of that forum could have/should have been done better than it was.
