Posting in general after reading back several pages, not at anyone specifically, although less specifically at some than others.
If OP's post on licensing code for commercial use is true, it is alarming.
Cyanogen have been the original modders rom since the G1. We all know this. Hell, I installed G1 based builds on my HTC Kaiser. You'll see that although my post count is low, I have been here since original winmob days.
Although I am not involved in this area of development, merely a user, I am involved in other open source areas. The familiar call of "if you don't agree with it, then why don't you do it" is no stranger to me. Criticism of critics in this way is generally used against people who don't know what they're talking about. It's quite clear that pulser_g2 cannot be accused of this.
Calling a long standing senior XDA developer and admin out and telling them that a normal member would have been censured for the same post is ludicrous. With responsibility comes a voice. Same goes for suggesting that this forum has secret forums that not every user can access. No ****. Show me a forum that doesn't.
For what it's worth, I scratched my head as to why the advanced menu was missing on my n7100, at first assuming it was down to an early build, with missing support - not using this 4.3 build, by the way, another CM based one. I thought I'd done something wrong! Much googling ensued.
A deliberate decision to remove this seems strange. I mean - specifically removing a feature that makes the experience on Samsung phones really nasty? Samsung, the minor OEM? Justification for this particular removal is hard to imagine. Samsung phones without mDNIe just look nasty, like a TV with colour saturation turned up full. This is a major reason for me, personally, to flash stock off. Why remove it? Don't like it - fine - don't use it. More likely - don't notice - you're probably still on stock.
Could *I* code a replacement? No, I certainly could not. Am I sad to see a senior XDA dev and admin singling one CM dev out like yet? Yes, I am. Do I underestimate the significance of that post? No, I do not.
