When the triumph came out we lost some important devs, things settled down for a month or two and then we got IHO from Blarfie. Things exploded after that. As things settled we got ICS from TDM, then Gannon went on a porting frenzy.
You guys have it in your heads that just because a dev stops that the roms become useless. We still have people using Rodimus! What works now will work a year from now. Has the OV passed it's prime? Probably, bu we also thought that when the Triumph came out, and yet look where things are now. Better than ever. It comes in waves, as some devs burn out or leave, others take over, you have already seen a few new ones start.
Ilikechicken123, Anthonycr, EarthnFire78 and Cammycool have all picked up the torch and are getting going. It's just cycling. Some will burn out fast, some new ones will also take over. At this point, so long as there are a handful of people using this phone, someone will be doing something for it. Phones with good support take a LONG time to fade out.
Don't count Jerry out, I am pretty sure he will still keep making stuff for this phone.
I'm scaling back a bit, but I'll still support my roms.
I would like to get Harmonia 1 working like it should, if possible, then semi-retire it. I also want to get Rhode nailed down, which will pretty much eliminate some of the need for Harmonia 1. As for Harmonia 2, I will probably keep it going for a while. I'm also considering a guide to show exactly how I do it, so maybe others will carry the torch.
Regardless, there is no need to panic, it's not like things will stop.
