yup yup and i hate how xda branch the dev section actually. and sgs2 dev are kinda competitors and less friendly than in Desire section. some of the dev are mods in there. i dont undertand why Litepro and Neo's rom got into that instead of original development section.
in Desire section all of the dev is sharing everything without caring about who's using who's work. example is Robocik, snq, LeeDroid. all of them have many works taken but they even credit it back to those taking.
in sgs2, you take a thing, you are moved to other section and get flamed by other devs, which has good connections with mods. as much as i love SGS2, i missed the Desire community.
lucky here i can talk freely with you guys.

ive seen u around in XDA indeed, my ID is override182 there.. indeed its not a healthy competition at all.. i guess some devs got pissed off and reported to mods that other devs stole their mods, so the mods created the new section to separate.. do they need to give a proof of concept of their ROM to differentiate? honestly i see most ROMs on SGS2 is skinned or removed stock apps except perhaps villainROM which provides tweaks via VRT. Im a big fan of auraxtsense and leedroid so i do know that neophyte is not a copier but he make roms in his own way, his own tweaked base and even his own kernel. Its a one man job compared to some others.
Its becoming a trend but an advantage too for some devs to create an external config app to control the rom and even post it on the market. It shows "originality" since not all devs are able to build apps on their own. EG : Villain, Darky
Honestly if u ask me, i would say the copiers are : Leomar, exynos extreme, touchx, (maybe i missed some).. but the rest is considered not that genuine but more effort being done independently. Not saying themed rom arent good, perhaps it can be better compared to those "original". It suits some ppls likings..

Wait until they talk about those GPL V2 and V3 nonsense. Then you'll see the real flame of two supporter camps. Happened in SGS1. If you look at all SGS2 kernel developer, all of them have github only hardcore (speedmod) attached his source code. I think he took the neutral way, neither supporting github or not releasing source codes. Angelom, totally avoided XDA. In SGS1, some of the developer left XDA coz of this argument.
it seems like Darky is one of those, but darky was too ego btw eventhough his rom are indeed good. (referring to whole team). I respect AdamG always btw, his cancer donation funding is really good.. but if im in a shoes of a dev, when ur taking it far, its not just a hobby anymore.. Its like being paid to do it until u can afford to buy a newer upcoming device LOL
