Hi everyone. For those that do not know I have been labeled a code and computer prodigy by the members of my computer club at school and by top computer teachers here.

I have been trying to help tighten the code that has so many bugs in it its a wonder it will even boot up. This is the ICS branch for the incoming CM9 that will be coming to the nook color. Instead of actually trying to improve this code, they have been taking allot of shortcuts by porting over features from other linux branches.

What does that mean for you end users? It means you are running CyanogenMod code that is so sloppily written and ported over from other branches which means its not a pristine build but some sort of hand me down build by lazy developers taking shortcuts.

I have also noticed alot of product placement and mentions of them working on other builds for monetary gain. This is inexcusable and a disgrace.

I have personally looked over the code for the incoming ICS builds and it looks horrid to me. Lots of errors between branches up there and I was trying to help clean it up for the team.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Instead I found out someone has isolated my code from being submitted into the main line branch. You can see it in the graph here  at this link. https://github.com/m...e/graphs/impact

See how the graph integrates and merges over with the other members but not mine? Mine is the orange bar trying to submit code to help. Instead its to the side isolated from the others.

I know how to merge code to the main branch yet it is isolated from the main branch, probably by a Top team member blocking access.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seems they are being ageist and sexist to developers wanting to help. Thought I would let you guys know what is going on. Seems sad man.

OMFG why did they do that? They are just being jelly of ur skillz.  What is their main malfunction up in that xda? You told them what you was doing and everything . They would not even talk to you for some reason.


Text me ok ?  And don't let them stop you from helping us nookie users with cyanogenmodz out. We will see about them merging in your code.

[meteorrock]

Its ok now Phoenix. One of the developers told me there are very few people that know how to use git properly and it might be the fault of the github itself. It looks like its working now.

Sorry about the drama.

Oh, I was about to say. You don't need to advertise your age, sex or prodigy status. Would've prevented such a problem from happening. But apparently, It never happened. xb So alrighty then.

[meteorrock]

I did so to try to get younger developers aboard like myself and others. And everyone already knew my profile here, and I also did it   without thinking of the future repercussions unfortunately. I did not think it would be a problem in todays world and that most people would just dismiss it. Did not think it would be so competitive.

I got things worked out now up at XDA, most of them was from my misunderstanding on how much of a workload I was putting on other team members up there by debugging the whole nook color ICS main line. I am going to continue debugging and hope for the best. Someone will want this main line debugged.

[ReCat]

Alrighty. Makes sense then, although I think you'll eventualy find that even today's world is much less than desirable, there's quite a lot of injustices over trivial subjects similar to what yours could have been, unfortunately. *slightly cynical*

[meteorrock]

Guess my work wasnt worth considering after all. The unix wizards told me today my work is not up to par. This git diff tool and merge tools I have been using is not worth consideration into the main line. I give up. It took me 40 plus hours to get up to speed on using git to just get started. I will help down here when I am needed, I took time away from other things I got going on right now in my life. Have at it guys.

Someone else smarter than me can give it a shot.

[Phoenix Rising]

No one is going to take someone of our age seriously, no matter how smart. Lets just leave it to the Stephen Hawking type developers. Your average genius at any age is not going to be able to submit code here until they get over their egos. We will watch them drop hints at developing elsewhere for their money and power. Forget em meteorrock they are not worth it.

And for the IRC environment they want you to work in with other immature types using skittles to boot and cause problems ? Not worth your time either. Most of your coders are autistic types with just knack to code, and they are antisocial to everyone to the extreme to begin with. Give me a text ok? Lets go work on the HTC project that importb said we could go work on without these problems. Remember he said there were no kernel developers over there.

[meteorrock]

Its ok. Lets PM the guys up at XDA to have them do it. I want ICS to be stable on the nook color soon.

[PaloAlto]

Meteorrock, sorry to hear about the hassels.  All I can say is that I'm a (really) old fart and am impressed with the care and concern you've put into these efforts.  Never let others define your space - if you know you can do this, don't let anyone else push you aside.

[meteorrock]

Thanks PaloAlto. Right now I am having problems with the team wanting to go back and solve merge conflicts among the main ICS nook color line, they are in the habit of wanting to use imperfect android buildbots to do the work.

Buildbots will sometimes overlook small minor bugs I have found. Buildbots are good for the most part, but they are not perfect. We really need some unix wizards touch on the code.

My code was not considered for review because I was going through every file wanting to improve it, which is a major workload on the team. I think this needs to be considered though.

If you have the time and knowledge would you consider taking a look at the ICS code for the nook color? My github page is here, I forked the project for the ICS nook color code. https://github.com/meteorrock

I had up to 180 commits on there but the top developer said it would not do. He said it was too many commits for the team to handle.

I was thinking about building my own custom ICS ROM but there are rumors from XDA that eyeballers ICS builds are about to go stable for the nook color so I am not sure if I should go ahead or not.

[meteorrock]

Well I am going to go ahead and debug the rest of the mainline for the ICS for the nook color. I only got about halfway through and submitted it. Its STILL up for review but the Top developers are developing kernels for the audio so I will cut them some slack.

Got my git back up and fired up. Wish me luck. I still have probably 150 commits to go. Saw that I got a follower finally forked from me so its time to get back to work. Check it. https://github.com/f...network/members
