Man once again, no downloads. This is getting on my nerves really. I know building ics is going to take time and if he wants to update us fine but don't say download links are coming later when they aren't. This is what started the controversy to begin with.

Just stupid to say that really. He hasn't posted download links since his initial beta that was mostly borrowed from chaos anyway.

sadly it took 18 pages and a few months on xda to realise that it was a scam.

- an account hardly ever used, got re-opened
- a newcomer to development, and all he could, was beg for more money
- continued to promise, now its ready, and no links
- copying other people's work and put their own nametag on it? this is a famous one on xda actually, and happened to my releases a few times (which a few mod's informed me about). credits were not given, so mod's asked me.

I just gotta say , i warned a few, even mod's.. everyone was blinded by the only commited guy to promise ICS for a htc-end-of-life device :(
sometimes people got too much faith and cannot see whats in front.

Yeah I believe It's a scam but I hope I'm wrong, that being said I dunno how one guy could overcome the issues all you guys are having by himself.

It's the end of the road for it, scam or no scam.

He posted on Twitter: "After hours of fixing linaro source for maguro but hey it works like a charm and its zippy as hell!"

If it is released and it works, he is redeemed. After this post, if we still have nothing, then I am with you all that it was a scam.

Just ridiculous to say downloads coming within a few hours and then 2 days later nothing posted, a week later "downloads coming in a few hours" then nothing ever posted again. None of us our rushing him or demanding a OEM quality also build now, really we aren't even demanding downloads but if you say your going to post them than do it. The excuse of "running into problems" doesn't fly because if you say downloads are coming that means you have a completed build. Post what you have, if its not good enough to be a daily driver, throw the words alpha or beta after the version number, and list what's working, whats not, and known issues. If you aren't willing to do that than don't say downloads are coming. More than anything that's what makes it seem like a scam. Even when everyone pissed him off and he said he'd post his "crap" builds he didn't deliver, which at some point makes you think he doesn't have downloads posted because they don't exist.

To be honest, I think someone is laughing his pants off reading all this on his free flyer, and enjoying his cocktail on some exotic beach.

The only thing that makes me think that it's not a scam because why scam people for a Flyer of all things. I could see a more powerful jetstream but a flyer?

Linaro code does seem far fetched. We just saw someone post about this stuff and if it's so easy to integrate why hasn't chaos or dexter have this built in? Yet somehow drew garen is so much better he integrated it in like it was nothing, yet no proof but downloads will be up in a couple hours (sarcasm)

Oh wait the builds are crap they have to be "perfected" first.

There is no use in getting upset about it. What is done is done. I have no idea why he has many, many posts about download links coming but none ever appear. This seems like a bad way to scam people. If nothing is coming, I wish he would just stop posting and go away. I also question whether he really ever bought a Flyer. We have no proof other than his word and his word has been demonstrated to be unreliable, and that is putting it kindly.

manlord is still active here, but not commenting on the critic. But would it not be fair that manlord dropped the adverts and megapaypal logo in #1, until the suspect is proven innocent but showing all his uploads to be true?

I find it strange that manlord got so quiet a month ago, and still keep the donation link's in post#1 ??

manlord, if you read it, i (probably others) recommend you kindly disable donation link to the suspecious person you recommended, until better info is known, it very much feels like you are in a co-op with him on that one.

I threw $5 his way. I felt bad that was all I had at the time, but not so much now. Poor law guy feels the sting the most, he probably paid for his hotel!

    Hey guys I'm headed home today so I'll be able to get more work done on ics and a new kernel. Sorry I can't reply back for some reason I can't view previous pages on the xda app and using the browser is a pain.

    I have made a ton of progress though. I have a compiled version of ics up and running with honeycomb soff there is no need to send a command for the touch screen to work like chaosx's original kernel build. I have no force reboots. The most important issue that I currently face is getting the screen working properly. This seems to be because the graphics aren't updated for ics but I'm working on a work arounds currently that will better fix the problem. I am also working on a wifi fix. Sound and data, back camera seem to work fine and pretty much everything else. The front camera does not work though I have not tested it with the full ics lib files necessary. I will try. I have the most up to date kernel from HTC and will be building a new kernel from that to see if it helps in anyway with graphics and wifi. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to get you guys a full proper build. I had it running on my flyer but it needs to be perfect and a few more pieces need to fit into the puzzle to get it there. I know I have been lacking on my github but when I'm done I'll get everything for you guys so you can build as well.

    About a sense version: a sense version will very well come out when I get prop files.

    Download eta: these builds can't be rushed I want to say sooner then later. I will have the builds at my site so pay attention there. The reason I haven't released any yet is that I will not be held responsible for what errors you make while installing it or what's happens to your flyer. I will get a test build up shortly that will not be the final product.

    Update and Upcoming Beta Test Download

    No I'm not continiuing Chaos's work except working off of their Kernel. For my first beta that I will be uploading soon I compiled base on Ice Cold Sandwich 7.4 and my own device modifications, build, patch and compiling modifications, kernel modifications and other neccessary modifications.

    I am also currently building a new kernel based off of LordClockan's kernel which is in testing and I am also testing another kernel that I am working on based on Leedroid's kernel.

    The current beta that I will be releasing on my site in the next few days will not be the final build, but is a just a proof of concept that I am making a huge progress. I am currently working on a CM9 build and AOSP build that I should have done within the next week.

    What works in the current beta:
    Data
    Camera
    Video Recorder
    Audio
    Storage
    NTrig Pen (Though there is not really a use for it)
    most other things...

    What doesn't work:
    Graphic errors (screen may at times look like it's having a siezure)
    Wifi (does not work yet, kernel error, needs fixing...)
    Front Camera (haven't put the files in yet)

    It will be coming soon. I worked my whole vacation to get a pretty good version ready. This will not be a daily driver by any means but with my new kernels in testing and my new builds in progress it should turn out great.

    Also I appreciate any donations as I don't really have a job right now and I have to pay the bills some how.

    You guys are great, check my site soon for a download.

    Screens are attached.

    Updates!

    Just got my Flyer from UPS! I opened it up and was sad to see that has 0% charge so I'm charging it up right now so I can begin some hardcore work tonight.

    So far I have made progress, I have fixed many compiling issues and everything should boot up fine. I will be compiling build today and then testing out the Flyer for bugs later tonight if all goes well.

    Wish me luck. I'll report everything later on my website as well.

    Any downloads I have that are ready will be posted eventually on my site and all progress will be updated on the site later tonight or tomorrow.

    I won't have any downloads up until I have at least a partially working build up. I have not tested anything yet.

    I am not new to XDA i just normally do not post any thing in the threads. I am posting in the threads now because of my work for the Flyer. I don't post because of the fact I have to keep checking up on the threads and it takes a lot of work. I will be checking up on the Flyer thread though.

    Yes when I received my Flyer I semi bricked by attempting to install someone elses rom and test some features. Didn't work. So no I have S-OFF Honeycomb on just fine and dandy working great.

    Lets talk ICS progress:

    I have a beta up and running, I'm going to be testing it because I just got it running last night. I will put it my site if all goes well.

    In the mean time I working on another build. Screen shots will also be post at my site later.
