NcX ROM Announcements

Making the edits for this ROM open source (or at least, an attempt to because I'm not very good using GitHub) is my way of helping those people and I'd like to think that someone learned something going through my repository. I will attempt to create one final NcX version that works on all bootloader versions but as to when it's dropping, it's difficult to say. Hopefully before September ends. With that said, I'll still be around trying to help some people implement some mods and answer any questions (as long as they are not annoying lol) and I'll keep the group open for any modders who want to learn more Thanks to everyone who tried the ROM and thanks to those who made their own ROMs and included me in their XDA threads, seeing the community grow is always a good thing. - ShaDis (2/2)

NcX is coming to an end... The time has finally come where I must step away from this ROM. It's been a great few years and I'm really satisfied with the work that's been done to improve the community. Before starting this ROM I would always question why there were people who sold Samsung modified ROMs or locked features behind paywalls and this always rubbed me the wrong way. A lot of these people started learning modding in great part due to the amazing people that share their knowledge on XDA and charging money for stuff like that always made me sad/mad Do NOT get me wrong, I am aware of all the kangers and people who take advantage of the very little good will that exists on the modding community and this is totally demoralizing. I get it, I've been a victim of it too. But overall I think we should focus on the positive and try to help those who are genuinely motivated to try to learn and make their own ROMs. Who knows, maybe this kindles their fire to go on and learn even more advanced programing (1/2)
