Ziggy kernels

---

The thread in the dev section was shut down by the mods for having an external link. Ziggy does not want to maintain a thread of his own on xda since he already maintains his site. So if any of you want to find his kernels, you can google ziggy471.

I have found his kernels to be beasts both for the inc and for the bolt. And have helped him test those for both devices. If anybody wishes to ask questions, feel free to do so on his site. He is very responsive.

Finally, I'm not sure why xda cares so much about external links. Its not as though they share ad revenue with devs who actually drive business to the site with their work!

I also agree, used Ziggy kernels on previous devices and they were great.

Thanks for the info, ill be trying his kernel for the tbolt now

Its dumb that they don't allow externel links...

Hold on a second... A lot of devs link to their external sites... This is not unusual... Is this a new rule?

I assume it's because his site contains a pseudo-blog. They don't allow that.

If the external site is purely downloads-only it's typically allowed. None of the mods ever had issue with devs hosting files on my site and linking to them.

Not sure why they are enforcing that now but the storm thread was also locked down for a short while.

And you are right, many of the threads have external links. I'm curiously watching which threads they go after and which ones are holy cows.

Been running the 4-6 Kernel on the Virus ROM 3.1 and it rocks

Just to clarify, yes my thread was closed due to external links but that's not the whole story. From what I understood from the moderator all kernels posted on xda has to be complaint to the GPL. I can post links to his kernel only if ziggy provides a link to his source. Will contact ziggy later for this info if possible so I can get my thread open again.

That's my understanding too. XDA is really big on being compliant with GPL. When someone asks for a kernel source and there is no response, 99.9/100 XDA will close the thread.

But if Ziggy is well known then why would they assume he was doing something damaging with his kernels?

Doesn't it though?
