I'm not the dev, i'm "only" the user for PR work.
If the dev will post the ROM here for all idk, but i think i don't do that, bc the ROM is maybe unstable and so on.
And for now you can register as official tester, so no problem to do that ;)

    A <3 to <3 post.....

    Updates...

    Okay so myself, jmztaylor and bigbearevo have been in an IRC chat for days now, talking about bug fixes, improvements and tests for this ROM.

    jmz ran through the updating code and found some bugs, he then uploaded the fixed version, he also allowed his kernel to be distributed with .sense

    bigbear has been helping me test things, sent me APK's and has recommended some really cool tweaks and has been nice and helpful to me with this ROM.

    When I upload this ROM if it wasn't for them you probably wouldn't have this beta.. So click thanks and if you got a few spare $'s, £'s or euros (I couldn't find the button on my keyboard for the euro symbol lol) then please donate to them if they accept it. I would, but I'm poor hehe :D

    .sense will be uploaded to goo-inside.me first, people will then mirror it after.

    .sense beta will be a universal ROM that will run on any of the 3 devices, meaning on one download of the ROM is needed.

    Please after this point no more arguing, I apologize to Thrawed for my rude PM and my outrages behaviour on the thread.

    I want to make every user of my ROM happy, so please tell me if there is anything you want me to add, improve or fix. But look around first ;)

    Oh and don't forget to click thanks :D :D :D

    Hater's gonna hate ben, We can't do anything about them...

    To all the haters,
    If you think you can develop a better ROM in any aspect which are available here, Please work your lazy ass off and do us a favor. It will help us both, We will get a new ROM and you will get a chance to brag about your ROM. Seems legit?

    Sincerly,
    A wildfire S owner


    And Ben the ROM seemed good. EVen though I haven't tried this one. I'm glad you stopped working on this and started giving much time to Roberto... That's a ROM I would just die to flash. :)
    Keep up the good work mate..

    Ben I understand what you mean, when I read some post I often say to myself, why are these people so rude! All they do is complain and constantly ask when it will be done, "like a post where is my giftee?! Or no giiffte?!" Like really dude wow? you should speak up and give them some rules, its not everyone her, but just a few members/comments I read on this thread, the people that are rude to you are now telling you what to do? Like start off new? Some members on this thread need to start off new

    Sent from my HTC_A510c using XDA App

    These people are good people. But a melody to one can be a scream to another.

    An example would be: I found bigchillin's first statement to be fine, but he later claimed himself that he was being harsh.

    On a slighly MORE AMAZING note...

    "dotSense_marvel_alpha_build32" has been renamed to "dotsense_marvel_alpha_rc1"

    That means expect it soon.

    As for the salsa... "dotsense_salsa_experimentalbuilds_build1" is sitting on my desktop on my new Ubuntu 12.04 install running on my sweet i5 powered laptop.

    I would probably say... Tomorrow at the least. That's your eta.. notice the E means estimated. That means I'm guessing I find no bugs. That means it won't be tomorrow if I can't get it out. I'm just clearing that up for you guys.

    If its Saturday, 11:59 at night where you are and I appear to not be posting any updates then think about time zones. I'm in Cardiff, Wales. That's in the UK, in Europe, on earth. Time zone GMT 0.

    If you are about to respond saying are you English then the answer will be no. Wales is not in England you poor undereducated child.

    Okay. Besides going off cause, long story short maybe, possibly tomorrow.

    Complements from an angry Welshman

    P.S. I am now sane again. No more long pos...... Oops.
