Sry to hijack, but I think the issue was he took someone elses pre-made ROM and edited it some and made it more stable and more fast. The C&S just simplified it by not having a lot of apps in it which meant less registry entries and conflicts with apps. So it ran more fast and was more stable. However, because he used someone elses ROM and made changes to it, there was an outcry from certain loyalist of the original ROM maker. I do think he was invited to the team building ROMs but something somewhere went sour. Eventually with newer ROMs and devices coming out, everyone moved on. I kept a copy for VZW though because no one else had it or admitted to having it. He used to still have an active
profile and some posts in the 68/69 forums but I couldnt find his profile when I looked earlier.
