This Rom is no longer at Rootzwiki. In fact, at this point, it does not exist on any forum. I believe he is still releasing the Rom on Google+ and there's rumor that he may go to DroidHive, but I haven't seen him there yet. I'm not sure how long Codename, aka BlackDroid, will be around. We'll see...

It's too bad because he has the skills to put out a good ROM, but it is what it is.
He'll fit right in at droidhive lmao

I'm late to the party. What's the back story?
Just Google "Blackdroid" and "Cyanogenmod" together. You'll see .
Read it. Understand now. I see it from fresh, objective eyes and may view the tussle differently.
My only comment: Credit is overrated. It's for the self absorbed. It's for the movie industry where they give credit to grips for goodness sake. I'm not saying what Blackdroid did was correct, it wasn't. But making a stink on a public forum first, without privately contacting them, brings that person down to Blackdroid's level.
Hey, JMO, nothing to get hung about. (Credit to John Lennon)

The lockscreen weather has been on CM10 for weeks now, btw.
If you spent hundreds of hours building and perfecting a ROM, made the source public so anyone could use it, then saw someone publish it as their own without even a mention of your name, you would probably not think that credit is overrated.

Thanks, I caught that a day afterwards.. (and the dork award goes too....me)??? Lol.
Beamed from my GneX via TaPaTalK.
I saw. Oh well. I'm a bit surprised RW change his screen name (back), but alas, he committed the ultimate sin and he did it to the one group of devs that you don't want to do it to.
Sucks for him, obviously, that he can't really get past that, but I certainly understand why.

+1Yep. He had a fresh start going...kinda. I'm all for new beginnings, but if you're gonna reinvent yourself and start fresh, you need to do just that. He would have been better off letting "BlackDroid" die and turning over a completely new leaf.
I've flashed a few of his Roms. In fact, I was trying out his latest when all of this happened. I usually don't install Roms made by Devs who don't put out their own code...kind of a principle thing for me, but I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I will say this for Codename...he has a knack for taking others' work and making it work better. I had no issues with the features of his Rom and the Rom itself was very stable. I found this interesting since the features were unstable on a lot of the Roms he kanged from! What I'm saying is that there is *some* skill there. Its too bad that he couldn't have found a way to *work* with other teams and devs but there is where the problem lies. His actions and behaviors have made that impossible. Too bad really.
