HI ALL;
As u might have seen,coolgadget wants to leave us.I wish to have this something like a petition and ask him to stop.Let the number of us make him change his mind.All those who enjoyed the ROMs and other things from the site,please add a post as a sign.
Regards
RAMBO29 very nice from you.
You can count on my vote to support.
Me too
I'm sorry that the devs are feeling upset by comments from a small minority of users, but guys they ARE a small minority. I for one really appreciate the work done on the ROMS and the support provided by some very talented people on these forums.

It really would be ashame if all the people with the know how are leaving the forum. I'm like most of the visitors a reader, not a writer. just ignore the small bunch of complainers.
Don't let the dimwits win - stay on board!
Please stay.
Although I haven't been a member for long, I have begun to appreciate Xda-Devs as my second home (quite literally) and I'd hate to see a small minority disrupt the cause of the greater good.
Just my 0.02$
as Virgilio said to Dante: don't care about them, just look and go on...
DON' T GO AWAY!!!
I understand you.
Please stay!

I am a user of cooked ROMs and I am very very thankful to all the ROM cookers but I can only understand that cookers do this for fun and because they like to be recognized for their job. I cannot understand someone that asks for money for something that he does not take the responsibility for.
Off course that I think some of the cookers deserve the donations but asking for donations and complain because users don’t pay is beyond limits!
Do cookers donate to all the developers of all the applications that cookers include in their ROMs?!

While it is true the ROM Cookers do this for fun (and to some extent for their own use) plus the challenge, they have all these people asking them for this modification and that modification. It all takes time and it is only fair and reasonable that they should ask for Donations and be rewarded for their work.
At the end of the day all they are asking for is a Donation. Remember, Time is Money......so if you like and use a particular ROM...donate if the Cooker has that option.

Maybe you should try cooking a good ROM, to understand how much work and most important the spare time spent to achive it!!
This being said, not to mention, that ervius, not only is a awesome cooker, as he is also a developer of some excelent apps that he always share so we can our cooking experience more satisfying. So don't talk about something you know nothing about!!
I'm also a cooker, and never asked for donations; as a matter of fact, I don't even have a donation link, but sometimes these kind of comments make me wonder if I shouldn't have one, bc I'm wearing down my phone, flashing all the time so I can test my ROMs before releasing.
And sometimes I have to put up with some nagging from some users that are never satisfied and want more of this or less of that, with some disregard for my time and effort. What keeps me going is that there are still many users that are pleased by my work and encourage me, by some compliment or even by some help(sometimes precious help) in solving some issues that I wasn't able to test before...
So, maybe you should think and do some of the dirty work before talking nonsense...
I agree with you 100%!! I can only imagine the effort and time spent on releasing those application. It's surely very difficult to make such perfect ROMS as yours and satisfy all users' needs.
So I take the opportunity to thank all ROM cookers and especially ervius for bringing some crucial tools for the development of applications for our trinities.
Keep up the good work guys!!
I absolutely agree with finixover.
I would like to thank ervius for his help and for everything he does for us cookers.
Again thank you
Hi
+1 For finixnover
ERVIUS the king cookers . APPS or tools is the best ...
VERY THANK's FOR MR ERVIUS ...

For me asking for money takes away de xda-developers spirit. Can you imagine if developers of open distros of Linux start asking for money?
Anyway I am in favor of putting a donation link, I would donate to you, FInixNOver, if you have a donation link, I am using your ROM and I am very happy with it. What made me write was the fact he was saying almost something like "I’ll do it if you pay".
I can imagine the time you all spend on this, and again I am really thankful.

Ervius, you've done a very good job, I am even thinking to flash your latest ROM over FInixNOver’s ROM and If I start using yours I will donate!
cooking a good rom is a bit like porting macOs on a PSP... but without credit from apple.
so may i say "big up to all romcooker around the world"? yes i think so

I understand you.
It takes a lot of evenings to create a ROM.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Social life is more important then creating ROMs
Why is allmost every rom on this forum dumplocked?
Do people have something to hide, or is it something else?
Is it mayb that people don't want to share things anymore(the main part where xda thrives on)?
Do the chefs who learned from copying and examining others work have some kind of arrogance, somekind of thought that noone may copy their work?
I personally find this a crappy way of work here on xda.
Any other thoughts on this?

Try with my ROMs, nothing is locked.

This is thin ice you stepped on!
I am a retired Chef myself. I always protected my ROMs from being dumped. The main reason is that packages and tweaks mainly added through the rgus are the result of many many hours of research, countless flashes, testing and work.
Packages are all over the place, so are the cabs.
The majority of tweaks can be found anywhere.
But it's just unfair when a Chef collects everthing he needs for his kitchen throughout time and someone who is just beginning to cook dumps it, replaces a few packages and voila, a new ROM from a new Chef, as good as the old dumped ROM.
It's not about hiding, it's about somehow protecting endless hours of work that just don't pay back.
I know my ROMs were intended for my own use, but somehow decided to share them, I believe most Chefs around here pretty much do the same with their work, so it is a huge favor this sharing.

I also find it very strange.... the only reasoning I can think is people don´t want their working copied but hey I completely agree with you it´s a very strange way to work as, certainly for me, this forum has always been about sharing. Sharing knowledge, information, ideas, ROMs, creativity and most of all a passion for these devices... it´s a real shame.
Thankfully though, in my experience, most the experienced chefs here are very willing to help out to us aspiring new chefs with pointers and files we need to build a decent kitchen.
I cook for myself really but ended up releasing a few of my ROMs when I have a bit more time to support them but I must admit I´m not bothered about people re-cooking them if they want. I´m just happy that the peolpe here get the most out of their Diamond.

Allright i can live with that, BUT, what are we doing right here?
Microsoft and HTC engineers also spend many hours on their precious work, pushing the limits of WM. If we all must respect hard work, then we should not dump roms of those guys either.
I feel strongly that this is an open community an that requires that everything is open, i've cooked many roms but never thought about protecting it.
I'ts MY hobby, and if i want to implement(find) tweaks and enhancements it's for MY satisfaction. I dont care if someone from here dumps my rom and steals all of MY found tweaks.
Let him learn about rom cooking by inspecting my rom, i dont give a ****, in this way the community gets stronger.
And by the way, if the chefs have nothing to hide and share their tweaks on the forum, why not open their roms?
Gr. bram
I'm not flaming that chefs, but i'm posting out my opinion about this.
I can totally get into the thought of those guys.

Sharing is one, stealilng and taking credit for someone else's work is another thing. And look at this beyond the Forum. Do you have any idea how many places host, discuss, etc. the ROMs made here? I don't want to get into details, but this is how it works. ROMs published are downloaded and posted on some other forums, where some other cooks try to do something with them. When they manage, they've got themselves a new ROM with upgoing rep and paypal ballance! You should really look into this. I know my ROMs were subject to such on some other forums.
But if this is still not enough for you, there is always an option to start learning how to cook, dump an Official ROM, port it (if it's the case), make a baserom, collect all your packages, collect and edit all your registries, skin till you drop, test for a week or so, build and release without protection.

Yes, maybe because dumping and cooking is grey field towards illegal. There's a really thin line between legal and illegal, but that's some other stuff I don't want to get into.

I have spent days, weeks and perhaps months (to scared to add it up!!) reading and learning how to cook so I can see your point. In fact I have also been through this very experience here where somebody has posted my work on another forum and yes it was annoying but I think what Bram was trying to point out that as time goes by things are becoming more and more "closed". Perhaps due to the number of users now?? I´m not sure but it´s a debate that will always be here

It's not user quantity, it's user quality. You can never stop a user to register and you can never check his/her intentions when joining. Private Messaging always works and I don't think anyone contacted for help ever refused on this Forum (I'm referring to Chefs). I've been helped by stranger fellow XDA Chefs and I helped stranger Chefs myself. But won't go for putting everything on a silver tray to some second hand B forum Chef.
As for XDA DEVELOPERS, here's a hint of what it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45

This experience is very nasty, but you cant entirely stop it. Someone flash your rom, the dump it the "device way", he has an exact copy of it.
Thats in a way true how i feel, i have a feeling lately that this forum is becoming closed, everyone keeping stuff for their selves. Wich in a way i can understand that(all the hard work etc.) but then the "openness" of this forum is slightly dripping away.
In my time in the wizard forums there was no such thing, every cook tried to help the other out. If a tweak(or something else new) was found, they posted it right away. Or cooked it into rom, and encoraged others to take it from them.
Lately in the diamond furoms i have the feeling some people don't want to share anymore, just the credit of a great rom.
Wich they have to know and do theirselves, but i'm against such a way of work here.

Great post by kyphur.... and I agree. As I posted above I have been helped by many great chefs here since I start with my Hermes, then with my Kaiser and Polaris and now here on Diamond and most of it has been done by PM. As for giving everything on a silver tray... well I think it´s a personal choice and I personally don´t think to much about it when I have posted my ROMs but hey maybe I have a different take on things
All I know is I am personally very very gratefull to many people who contribute to this forum and I have mentioned most of them in the past when posting my ROMs but as I said before this debate will always run.....
Chefs do it mainly to protect there investment in time. They have no reason to give you the ROMs, so why should you complain when they do things?
I personally do not do anything to protect my ROM, other than grouping files under one dsm to save space - the overheads for DSM files are quite big - rather than to stop people dumping the ROMs.
Why should we as chefs give you anything?

I dont say they haven got the right close roms, I just dont feel like that, and wanted to know if there are some others who think the same.
For me this is an open forum so all what i do is open, if other decide otherwise, let that be, i dont mind.
My point is that i feel that the forum is getting more to a closed forum rather that coming together, and just wanted to know if i was the only one.
Mayb is misformed my statement in the first post.
If this thread is non constructive, please close and/or delete it.
gr. bram
ps. i dont intend to flame anyone, i respect everyones work & decisions!
Protection of investment of time is a good reason.
Another good reason to protect ROMs is:
Stop the wild-groth of ROM-releases.
Every wanabee chef nowadays uses a simple kitchen, trows in a already cooked ROM.
Changes a few packages and a splashscreen, and trows it on the forum as something new.
I don't call that cooking, that is trowing something into the microwave (after putting ketchup on it)!
Also removing all RGU's and replacing DSM files by a single one does improve the device!.
Your personal tweaks aren't directly visible (like it would in a rgu).
Your own privatly build packages are more difficult to steal/recycle by a third party.

Exactly my thoughts!
I'm not part of the Diamond community... yet... but I'd like to give opinion on the subject.
I've been cooking for a while for trinity users, and as many chefs here, I've spent countless hours analyzing official ROMs, and even other chefs ROMs, reading, searching, testing, to better understand the whole cooking process, to improve myself.
Along the way I've had many questions, problems, and so on, and so on... Mainly I was fortunate enough to have had a great teacher and friend, and also the basis to build my work on.
This happened in a time when it all was a passion, when it was about making the ROMs better(not just customize them but also to improve them in performance and/or stability), but now?... Well, now it's more about having the best ROM, with more downloads... and ultimately more donations...
I have nothing against chefs, or developers, or whatever, being rewarded for their work, hell, I have a paypal link too(even though I don't really advertise it, it just sits there on my signature)!!
I guess the trigger for all this, was some chefs, making other chefs work their own without asking in the first place. If this really was sharing community, why not ask, instead of "stealing"? In the end it becomes a sort of a cooker's war, to see which one has the best security methods implemented on their ROM, and which one can get through that same security, so they can take instead of asking once again...
As l3v5y said, I also remove the RGUs and patch the DSM into one, for performance purposes, as colateral I get some protection against ROM package rebuilding, but I can only go so far. I have no programing skills whatsoever, so I couldn't protect my ROMs further, even if I wanted!!
I tottaly agree that with the growth in the number of members, comes a growth in new chefs, or chef wannabies, and if all is given away that easily, the forums will end up flooded with new ROMs. But on the other hand, I'm in favor of sharing. I'm just sad this is getting to a point where it get harder and harder to get some things that used to be available to everyone....
I could go on, but this is getting rather long... Sorry everyone!
hi i search the best 6.5.x rom ffor my htc diaamod

So many questions.. Is this thread really needed ?
Lucky for you, you can try before you buy here.
So, download, flash and see how you go. It's what we all do.
And when you've decided to keep one, remember to go and support the chef. SPONSOR him!!
Send money, coffee or hookers, it will be appreciated.
This is a matter of personal opinion. I agree with mauk, this kind of thread should not be opened. Just try out the ones most updated and you'll probably find one you like.
He want a ROM beauty contest
Hey everyone.
I've been coming here for a while now. And all I seem to do is congratulate developers on their work and leech ROMs/freeware.
I DONT WANT TO DO THIS!
I want to help/contribute to the site. But don't know how. I know I can donate, but when you don't have a job and need every penny that comes your way, what can you do?
I've thought of cooking ROMs, but don't know where to start.
The only other thing I can think of is offering my services beta testing.
Any idea on what I can do to help all you AMAZING developers become even more amazing?
Add me on MSN.
Lets get something going!

I want to help/contribute to the site. But don't know how. I know I can donate, but when you don't have a job and need every penny that comes your way, what can you do?
Any idea on what I can do to help all you AMAZING developers become even more amazing?

One worthwhile way to help/contribute is by helping newbies -- at least pointing them towards the answer...and that means doing more than just saying "SEARCH!"
Think you're just a newbie yourself? There's always somebody who knows less than you. (See what the Administrator says in the Announcements in Rule #10 )
I know what you mean. There's always articles or guides that could be updated or created on the XDA wiki. Otherwise like MCbrian said just answering questions so the pros can stay on task is always good.
