Root Don't loose hope...swagger is coming....

I dont see why someone can't just port roms from the evo 3d since the design and 3d have the same specs basically.

Same specs don't translate to the same hardware though. What board, Bluetooth, WiFi, ril, gpu, CPU, etc are being used. Suprisingly when we built the device trees for cm10 and evervolv (which the commits were integrated into their source and never ever credited for crap) we found the blobs we used from another device. Seeing how the treatment came after sharing the code. I will take that secret to my grave. Porting will never be as sound as building source but way more complicated. We ported actually the cm9 that we used to test the kernel from another device the evo 3d was not.even a candidate when the "speedy", and other devices are more closely related

Cookie speaks the truth, to be honest I still get a kick out of the bad mouthing myself and the rest of the team. Where the code still used for all the aosp stuff is still our same old stuff, all it needed was the aosp kernel done. Then the misc other stuff done to fix the minor stuff. The blobs is just the funniest part as till this day I am probably still being talked about of never changing them. Though ones around the git scene should be able to figure out that was just a lie from the big man himself... On another note I will say it isn't hard to port from any of the devices mentioned above.

Look, this drama has to stop. Either I am sorely blind to what goes on, or this really is drawn out drama. You need to come up with credible sources of your issues with us. I've stayed out of these because I've been through it all, and it usually just moves on in a relatively quick time frame. But this doesn't seem to want to stop. Really, call it out. I'll be objective and you can throw whatever you have at me. If I'm mistaken and have been fed the wrong information, then that can be dealt with. But from where I sit this is an ongoing pissing match over who copied what file from who, which originally was written by a completely unrelated 3rd party. That's all I'm gonna say and wait for some sort of reply on this. Mods if you'd like it elsewhere just let me know, I'd really like to put an end to this childish crap. If a childish reply from either of you is received, then so be it, consider this my last message ever towards either of you. But I have not shown any sort of hostility or otherwise towards either of you, I ask for the same respect.
