This is a sad day for pure android lovers. We will be missing the main man behind cyanogenmode. We will be missing samsung,HTC,Acer and may be LG from the main android scenario cause moto will get the first mover advantage for any new android release.Google will treat all other manufactures as second citizens and guss what Microsoft is waiting for this,they are already offering profit sharing between partners.

from the link in the first post:
In one of most important news from Android hacking scene, Steve Kondik aka Cyanogen has announced via his Facebook profile that he now works for Samsung Mobile. This lead developer and founder of CyanogenMod also stated that his side project CM is not affiliated in any way with this employer.
There is no word on how this will impact CyanogenMod, but there shouldn’t be much. CyanogenMod is a result from community of devs, with Steve contributing significantly to it.

May be but I am concerned about the second problem. Users don't want android to be in the hands of one company.we need more companies following android it can give us more choice more freedom and value for money.obviously we need Samsung for sgs2,HTC for their sense,sony for that PlayStation controlls,Acer for their value for money approach and LG for their **** coding.

Honestly, when I look around in the XDA forums and see how many mods you can find for a given phone model, most of them running faster and better then stock rom, I always wonder how come none of these talented programmers are not hired by the phone companies. Most of the time, in the software team they have people who miss the passion that these devs have.
On the other hand, it will be interesting to see how much he will be able to work for Samsung, as any big company has a lot of rules and regulations to follow, that he might not be very fond of.
So what's next?
We can expect Microsoft to pick up RIM and HTC much like it picked up Nokia, lock down computer hardware manufacturers with stringent guidelines and add stores to compete with Apple on service. Apple will aggressively build out its cloud infrastructure and beef up AppleTV to fend off the XBox. Google will continue to beef up its productivity apps and focus on consumer hardware. All three will compete on the next generation of answers-oriented, Siri-like search.
Even the carriers could be in play, with former Apple President Jean-Louis Gassée predicting that Google will acquire TMobile. Sound crazy? Comon Google needs stores to compete with Apple and Microsoft. And owning a carrier just raises the stakes for the other two even further. Its no crazier than Google buying Motorola. Game on.

Cyanogen to make Android 'more awesome'
Free whitepaper – CIOs feel the pressure to optimize the online experience
The creator of one of the most popular Android modification kits has taken a job as a software engineer with Samsung's mobile device unit.
Steve Kondik, the hobbyist hacker behind CyanogenMod software, confirmed the appointment with Samsung Mobile on his Facebook page and to several bloggers.
“I will be working on making Android more awesome,” he told AndroidandMe.
In a dispatch to AndroidGuys, Kondik indicated he had no plans to step away from CyanogenMod:
... it's a job and I'm glad that I can use what I learned from all this to do something cool in the real world I'll still be doing code review and some leadership for CM, but I'll be keeping it legit like always. ... I think we really broke away from the modding community. Most of us are professional engineers or in the field some way or another.

I'm also thinking about blackberries, but what Android has to offer is just too good. Blackberry is going to be dead if RIM doesn't pull something out quick. I really like the form factor of them, but just that their OS is just crap compared to Android/iOS/Windows 7.

Why? Is there anything you can't do with Android?
Even if you don't tinker too much with os or use custom roms, you can do much more on Android.
1.Media Player ( with audio effects)
2.Office apps
3.Navigation
4.EMails
5. Social apps
6. Gaming
Everything that is required and much more is there.
On the other hand if you are bored with Android and don't want yourself to be tempted to flash roms again and again, you can buy a blackberry.
If you don't care about equalizers and audio effects, go for a windows
7 phone. Mango RTM (released to manufacturers) update is already available and official will be available after September 27.

I don't think anyone could have said it better
I had a Blackberry curve for about 4 days before I decided I hated it. I went back to the store and traded it for my P500h.
The blackberry is just simply a phone with some gadgets added to it and lots of messaging and email capability.
The android it just so much more than that. There are so many things which the blackberry comes short, like media playing, customization, games, file management, user modification, etc. It just seems silly to go back to something so rudimentary in comparison. But if all you want is a phone that does email, messaging, calling, and some music playing, get a blackberry. Or better yet, get a cheaper not so smart phone and get the same thing.
If you want an android phone with the look and feel of a blackberry you could get a motorola droid pro.

The only pro of Blackberry over other smartphones is... the userbase.
Some people are already attached to their BBMs and with these people a lack of BBM will cost you socially or in business when you find yourself out of the loop. If you're faced with that situation, then you can say you need a Blackberry.
For other cases, with the same price you can get a much better phone running Android, Windows or even Symbian. Alternatively, get a cheap, old model Blackberry for BBM and another mid-range Android with custom ROM for everything else you want out of a Smartphone.

So after spending MONTHS trying to train my wife to be an android lover. One of her clients GAVE her an iPhone and now she's sold out. Fine. Not a big deal ...because I HATE the iPhone...I am a firm believer that over all the android is a better phone . But its hard to make that point..when she's holding the iPhone 4 and I'm holding my LG p509. Now of course ivlove my Opt BUT...I'm gonna need an upgrade ..now I'm pretty broke but IV got a few bucks (USD) ...but what I DO have are two ..perfect condition LG p509 s. HERES MY QUESTION TO YOU WISE MEN (and ladies) is there any site I could trade my two phones in for a better One? Which android should I think about moving too?? And what would be the best way to go about it. Please? A little advice?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Okay, I do have to disagree with you just a bit. You see, even as a true Android lover, you can't say things like "Android is superior in all ways." Honestly, iPhone sales are not decreasing. Many people I know still enjoy using their iPhone because they find it simple. These people can't be bothered about what overclocking is and they already feel a great sense of accomplishment with Cydia installed on their iPhones
Here's just my 2¢ on what you should be looking out for your new phone. Firstly, you should get a phone with at least a dual core processor (powerful huh? Wait till you see phones running quad core ). Secondly, you would want a phone with a larger screen display. Let's be honest here. O1 is a very good phone (my first android phone) and I love it. However, I am unable to enjoy fully games such as GTA3. Lastly, since you're such an Android lover, do checkout the xda development page for your future phone. Surely you'd want a phone that is constantly being developed by a pro active community?
Have a nice day!

Get a phone that is exactly what you want.forget the specs.forget the media propaganda.find a phone that is the right size.is fast enough and dose what you want it to. The reason I phone users are so happy with their phone is that they are all the same.there is nothing that is different or even slightly special from any other iPhone.everything works the same and there is no chance of some individuality might cause a problem.
Get the phone that fits your individuality.be it Android or apple.
hi there mate, thank you for posting this as i have been in the same connundrum over the past few months.the things that concerns me when choosing a new phone are:1. unlocked bootloader as some phones shipped with locked bootloaders. this cannot be a good indication for future developments on the platform. 2. wheter or not the phone has a strong developer community support. i see this as an important feature to ensure that my mew phone would be able to stay fresh for at least the next 18 months.to be honest, i was so close to ditching my optimus one last month, having had the phone as my trusty companion for over a year. but the recent development in cm9 port for our phone (time and time again, the optimus one dev community has never failed to surprise me) had allowed me to stick with the phone for atleast another couple of months, enough time to see whats in store for us after wmc.
Btw , have u tried selling your two o1s on eBay?
The iPhone sucks at price, the only nice thing about it are the animations, you can take a phone with 2x the specs of iPhone woth half price

No doubt there, mobile is the future. Plus its not Facebooks first foray into phones, but maybe they will be more serious this time.
HTC wouldn't sell, not to them, not now. They have way to much to loose if they sell, but much to gain if they remain as partners.
I don't see this as a wise business decision for HTC to sell out to Facebook (out of anyone else they can sell themselves to...) HTC holds to many patents and technology secrets that Facebook wouldn't know how to handle or value.

New FaceBook Phone?
According to the New York Times, Facebook “has already hired more than half a dozen former Apple software and hardware engineers who worked on the iPhone, and one who worked on the iPad”.
“Mark [Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO] is worried that if he doesn’t create a mobile phone in the near future that Facebook will simply become an app on other mobile platforms,” a Facebook employee told the Times.

didn,t you guys read the article related to the design of sgs3? it clearly suggested that the current design was made by lawyers to save from any trouble from.apple

GS3 injunction
First, the injunction obtained was a preliminary injunction based on a utility patent related to the universal search on the gnex. Somehow, apple was able to prove that they would be "irreparably harmed" absent an injunction based on this one patent. I still don't know how this is possible because it involves showing that people will buy the Gnex over the iphone because of this one feature.
Second, since it is a preliminary injunction based on a software element, all samsung has to do is change the disputed software element slightly. This is what allowed them to resume selling the SGSII in europe, and I believe the galaxy tab but I could be wrong. Once the change is implemented, voila, injunction pending final court decision.
Samsung, if they were smart, could very easily fix this situation by rolling out a software update. Also, I believe the judge said that this would clog an already over crowded docket, and this should be addressed at their trial date at the end of july. i guess if anything were to happen, it'd have to be after july 30th anyways
I think its interesting to note that apple has very little design patents succeeding on the merits, and really just minuscule utility patents for things like the lock screen and universal search. And I don't believe that's the reason any of US actually buy these phones.
I'm interested to hear other's thoughts on this, too
Sources: patentlyo.com, the verge and engadget's recent articles on Koh's denial of injunction on SGSIII. I can't post links yet because i'm too new. Also studying patent law in law school.

It's not just the design or design at all. That was for the Galaxy Tab and SGS1. It's the software and how we open up links with different apps, etc.

^^^^^
This.
Apple's not going after Samsung or HTC per se, their after Google and Android in general. Since Google doesn’t produce their own h/w, Apple’s going after their partners that do. The injunction they just won is based on a feature integral to Android and with a victory (preliminary, it could still be overturned at trial and appeal after that) there's nothing stopping them from quickly applying the same argument to just about every Android device produced. I fully expect they will and of all the targets out there I can’t think of a better one than the SGS3. Second would be killing the Nexus 7 before it gets a chance to launch. HTC seems to be the weakest Gazelle so they may start there to get a few more notches in their belt before going after Samsung again. Sad really. All of Apple’s victories still won’t make me buy their products. I’d get a Windows phone if that was the only other option.
Samsung's different than the other manufacturer’s Apple's going after because of the "slavish copying" thing. Clearly the SGS1 and early G-Tab's were influenced by Apple's design. There’s a good chance that’ll get thrown out at one or more trials (or appeals) though based on "prior art;" meaning Apple got the patent but on designs that are document to have preceded theirs. The SGS3 is safe because of the "designed by lawyers" thing.
I've sent personal message via FB to LG and they replied "Thank you for the information" offered them be first major mobile factory to be active here and gain real beast reputation across the professional android users....

Half the things in there Rom come from xda roms. There we'll aware of what xda is and does. As are all manufacturers. It would be to have an LG rep participating in conversations

Why do you think they would be the first again? If I remember correctly Samsung or some other had a rep or reps here already...
Yes invite them here. Help with unlocking sources or Block custom roms. Lock the boot tougher.
I do not think either will happen. But if the positive outcome would be possible so could be the negative .
Either way wishful thinking.

When will XDA members understand the fact that we as a community are just a small percentage of their sales and they have no need to listen to our demands.
As a matter of fact I'm willing to bet, us as a community have cost manufactures more money than any other groups or the casual consumer.
Bricking phone, OCD exchange after exchanges cause of minor imperfections.
I'm willing to bet manufactures actually hate us

dont you think company knows about XDA? i'm pretty sure they do, Sony is NOTORIOUS with this, customer report a problem i.e screen and you will see their employees played it off like its normal or they dont see anything wrong with it.
You can usually tell who it is too.

Who at this company did you think is going to join this forum? They don't have the staff to be wasting time on here. Also, you'd be sending them right to the place where people talk about how to do things like root.

pretty sure these morons are laughing at you in their crap offices for buying their moronic products.
How about the double tap to wake ? Next big thing? I think they got that from xda. Had that on my evo lte about 5 months ago. Lol
Sony's developer used to come to XDA and help the XDA developers with Kernels and helping them in building CM by providing them with necessary drivers for EXMOR sensor etc. They used to come to XDA and post the alpha version of the firmware and help them identify the problems. It would be great if other company follow the same.
LG is here as well, just in secret, so you know!

I have been part of close, collaborative, manufacturer/consumer teamwork facilitated thru forums and online organizations before. The benefit to both parties is immense. Any company that would willingly forsake the opportunity to engage one-on-one with their most passionate and informed customers is fundamentally flawed.
That said, I can virtually guarantee a tech-centric company like LG has an entire department dedicated to data mining on the 'net.
