Pooka posted this at Rom Droid Hacks forum and I wanted you all to see it as well as ask something of you...
There's LOADS of would be devs out there in need of a serious hardware guy or three!
Hashcode is a serious hardware guy, and that's rather good news. If anyone can fix the hardware issues the moto devices have, it's him. I only wish more of us were able to offer help instead of just run with his code changes on building roms. If anyone's able, it would be great to help him out so he's not shouldering the load alone.
DHacker will be missed, and hopefully he's just relaxing and taking time off for himself. I know he was just recently on vacation, but was still being tagged in dev related conversations on twitter. That's got to be annoying as hell. Don't blame him for disappearing one bit.
Couldn't agree more... I hope everyone fully grasps the fact that we owe everything to Hashcode... Without him we wouldn't have SS or Kexec,not to mention the hardware fixes he has made to aosp roms, and without those things our phone wouldn't even be relevant anymore...
You saw what happened when devs lost the ability to use SS and all they had was BS. All of the issues we had in our community during that time was caused by BS and I took on personally helping people through gtalk, email, dm and pm so that the devs didn't get frustrated... While I was helping them I probably fxz'd 15-20 times testing various stages of Moto Blur roms after 232. During that time I never told or complained to the devs because I didn't want to discourage them.
I'm not saying I'm a saint because I'm not but you all know the type of person I am and it was even hard for me to deal with it. The only reason I'm telling you all about this is not to boast or get praise. I am telling you to help you understand how much Hashcode has done, and continues to do, for us, not to mention the D3, D4 and Razr.
Everyone on this Thread needs to take the time, 5 mins or less, to send Hashcode a pm, dm or even better a tweet thanking him. I know many of you might not think it makes a difference to us but, as I've said before, it really truly does. We all do this because we enjoy it but, at times, it becomes cumbersome and starts to feel more like a job than a fun hobby.
When that happens and I'm ready to quit a quick thank you from anyone in the community, whether I know them or not, removes a layer of frustration, disappointment and exhaustion.
I never realized that someone else's enthusiasm could be so contagious but it is. Maybe you can't dev, mod or theme but you can help the people that do.
Thank You,
Obsidian
Hashcode's info... Please don't use this info to bother him by asking him questions. That would ruin the thanks. If you have questions for him it's easier just to channel them through me so that he can answer them all at once or maybe it'll be something I already know. Thanks again
