Im done here.... The fact of the matter is that if Google was breaking the GPL rules they would be called on it and would be kicked. They have not been, no one of importance has claimed that they are and those of importance have claimed they are not. That in and of itself should give you a hint... unless of course its…

And again we are back to not everything in a kernel is under GPL control or restrictions.

Ha... The teleporter is number two on the list.

I do agree with you, and I thought of this very topic when I was a kid and learned how teleporters work in Star Trek. Just check your wording in some of your comments, it was put in certain terms... Im arguing semantics with you, you are free to ignore me. :ºP

Its not the kernel that is different, its the software elsewhere in the rom. This is the difference between Googles build of Android and the AOSP builds... This has been this way since the Nexus 1, and no one is claiming its a problem or trying to strip them of GPL. Thats because none of the portions withheld from…

Well that would never happen...

You are discussing philosophical topics, thats the reason you can not talk in certain terms. That's all Im saying.

There could be a few things causing the issue. Could be that he is restoring something with Titanium Backup that he shouldn't be (im betting he uses titanium). Does it start crashing apps right after its bootup or only after reinstalling his apps? IE do the core apps also crash?

But not everything in the kernel. They do release everything required for GPL and 99.9% of the community agrees that they do.

Ohhh so a bootloop? No real need to jump to ODIN at this point. Likely could have just wiped the cache from the recovery and rebooted. There is likely more to this than is made evident by him.

Is it just me or should this post's headline read "Samsung’s New Superfast Chips Could Fuel Your Future Phone"?

If its "bricking" during normal use, then thats a hardware issue and outside of the discussion at hand. If he flashed it with ODIN to go back to base and then flashed another rom which caused another brick (btw this is a softbrick and not REALLY, "bricking") then he is doing something wrong in the process. The GS1 can…

No you do in fact need to look further than that. You dont understand GPL at all do you? This is the exact same crap you posted last time, and you got shot down for not knowing wtf you were talking about.

Nor any other profile, for that matter. Seems you wont be graduating till 2013 so its pretty unlikely you work for a defense contractor or one of its part suppliers.

Flashing a new rom, rooting, and recovery replacement WILL NOT BRICK your Samsung phone. In fact you really need to do some work to brick on of these devices. Its not something someone could accidently do. ODIN is a motherfucking god-sent in the Android arena. It is litterally a OEM in-house tool for flashing phones…

Now add in The Wifi Alliance's new Miracast standard which would allow ANY OEM to add an AirPlay type functionality of wireless video, audio and control streaming. What you end up with is one less feather in Apples cap. Its worth mentioning that Miracast works on existing wireless chipsets, and should the necessary…

I do get what you are saying here, but you can not quantify exactly what "YOU" is.

Thats funny, because Im pretty sure you're a 25 year old Canadian citizen working for Metabolistics.

BULLSHIT! You show up on every Android article for one reason, talking shit about a device you have been proven to known absolutely fuckall about. You are a fucking troll, plain and simple.

Carrier based issue, not Samsungs.
