So Where Do I download ROMs NOW - About xda-developers.com

HI frnds,
I just checked the ftp sites and to my surprise all the ROMS including for my PROPHET has been removed
Why such inhumane thing
NOW WHERE CAN I DOWNLOD THESE ROM AGAIN if some thing goes wrong
Will the ROMs be back again.....
Pls tell me how will i be able to try/ install new ROM sss
I know it must be MS that forced to do this.....

If you had even just a cursory look around the forum, let alone using the search function - you would see that M$ has requested that they be removed or this forum would face legal action.
There are links to places where you can get the roms if you bother to look for them.

Did you even look on the front page in huge letters saying the FTP was being taken down????

(requests) From the Users to the Mods & Admins

Hi all
A few of us Moderators have been getting PM's that in my case have not been dealt with due to the fact I am not always on the board.
All of us do this for free and in our spare time, and over time we move on, get new toys, or even go back to a real life without a keyboard under our fingers.
Please try to understand that some of us are Bias (I admit to it I have a BA and am not intrested in many of the other sections).
Thus I for one do not read all posts and all sections, I feel this is true for others, like I said I feel this.
We all however try to check the trash and keep the news clean.
For this reason we need a form of communication that is not based on a person but directed to a group and in this case its the Moderators and Admins.
It is with that motivation in mind that I have opened this thread and made it sticky in the hope that you are able to post issues that you think that at least one of us should deal with.
Please note that this board does not tolerate cracks, serials, pirated versions or the posting of software that should have been aquired by legal means and we will remove (delete) them when found. Please help us keep this site clean by posting links of that sort in this tread as well as telling us if you have found anything on the ftp site.
Please use this thread, use and edit the wiki and remember this board would not be as great as it is without YOU.
Thanks for your support.

Thanks MDAIIIUser.
And remember, mods aren't Gods, despite us all being flaxen hair'd Adoni.
We can't create new Forums, change the Welcome page or Index page, or supply you with new flags or avatars. But ask anyway, it helps us put pressure on the Admis, who are the true Smooth Operators of this board.

Thanks guys!
Hi Guys,
Thanks for postings this.
We (admins) are behind you (though we also aren't gods )

redirection from www.xda-developers.com still pointed to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/front_page.php
link above is not valid anymore
I guess, it should be pointed to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php
nothing major, just easier that way
Think that is correct that is the main page, the forum is a sub element which you can get to from the main page. If you just want the forum then bookmark it.
Link above worked for me
[req] mobile forum theme
Let me first thank you for moving to a much better forum application than phpBB.
I hope one day we can have access to a mobile friendly theme from owr phone. If implemented, I would also like to request that the theme option be stored in cookies rather in the database so we wouldn't have to enter User CP and change the theme every time we log in from our mobile or desktop.
thanks!
Charmer Wiki locked, someone have a check on that please. Thanks
checked it,
opened, edit, saved and removed edit fine
Try on another different user account? Look at my screen shot. The Page-Info gives me the LOCKED status. And, I only see the View-Source not the normal Edit button. Something wrong?
Is it possible to regain the option: view your posts? I liked it but can't find it now anymore.
go User CP -> Find all your posts.
I didn't notice, thanks!

Just wondering, with the recent spamfest that seems to be taking place is there any pattern developing in the IPs used that would allow an IP ban to be placed? or are they using anon proxies? I know from my own experience as an admin on another forum they can be a pain, but they really seem to be targetting this place.... A friend of mine is a developer for vb and if there is anything that could be of use I can ask him if he would be able to create a plugin to help you block it.
In many ways this is one of the best sites I have seen (apart from the one I am an admin on of course, we all take pride in the sites we run heh) and I would like to assist in any way to stop any of the users being taken in by spammers like that. (yes, I know most of the users here are smart enough not to fall for it lol) Certainly it's one of the most informative on the HTC devices.
I don't see Cingular in the drop-down list for profiles.... found this a bit odd....

Seems I got overlooked....
It's bugging me that I have to show AT&T as my carrier, as apparently carrier isn't an optional field, and Cingular isn't available in the drop down menu....
yeah, I'd be ashamed to show AT&T as my carrier also!!!

WM6 for T-Mobile Dash - UI Test Build - BETA

Yes this is the real thing!
I can't believe how long it took for this to get out to the public finally. This is works (so far for over 1 week) great on my T-Mobile Dash. I didn't need to CID unlock it or anything (though i believe I tried application unlock app and that didn't seem to have worked). This is T-Mobile branded so if you have a different carrier there MAY be some modification required for proper function...though I wouldn't really know since I use T-Mobile -
This thing has it all working so far except the T-Zones in WINWAP. It tells you this version of WinWAP is not supported by tmo..if you are testing you are using an unregistered version and you should contact your test lead to get it registered...No biggie because you can access your account info via the new IE browser.
The new IE Browser is quicker and more functional in general. You also get Live! Search for 411 directory (which can dial/add to contacts directly from there!!!!) also Satellite and road map/GPS/directions/traffic... oh yes no bull... It has Windows LIVE! messenger and email integration to your home screen which is still buggy (gives error and you need to change to another home screen). Tmobile Blue home screen works fine...though there is a BETA stamp in the lower right corner (Also a big red UI TEST BUILD notice when you turn on the phone...oh well).
Anyways...I'm sure you've read all about the new features forever and been pissed that a couple of leaks for other version were out but not our beloved Dash. Here it is guys...Oh yes not a virus either.
Just one bit of advice. BE PATIENT DURING THE UPGRADE !!! It may look like it freezes at some points, but trust me it didn't.
File named RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.20.531.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Test.exe and it is 44.7 MB
Since I can't attach it here to the post I am posting the link to a torrent site which I've...yeah...well it's there and it works:
http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1061423/4574331/
If for some reason the link doesn't work go to the main webpage and search...if you STILL can't find it...you don't need to be upgrading your phone - you'll probably break something lol
fo a second there i thought you had a different beta rom this has already been posted but thanks anyways!
thanks for posting a link, but this has been discussed in this forum for two weeks and there are a few threads that discuss different aspects of this rom. you really should do a little research as you will find fixes for a few of the small bugs you are no doubt experiencing
argh...I searched and didn't see any thread clearly saying there was something for the excalibur...maybe I should have looked closer. Sorry guys, but hey - it's another source to download it from I guess. Hopefully someone finds this useful.
Didn't mean to make it seem like I released something "newer" -
oh well - This site rox

A couple of places every dash owner should favorite

Hey everyone, there are a couple of great places to look for help on the Dash/Excalibur. And i've created this thread just to show people where some other problems have been solved.
First, go to the htcwiki, which has a 30 page long FAQ and hacks which fixes almost every problem with the dash, and brings it to it's real potential.
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/The+Dash+FAQ
Second, go to http://surrealnetworks.com/mpx/DashApps.htm to download some freeware applications that everyone else has. Make sure you application unlock and throw the new .net cf 2.0 just to make sure everything compatible.
This are some basic dash things everyone will know. Using these places and the xda forum's great job of finding assistance, we can make the dash awsome
not sure if you want others posting but I got a few pages...
Same site as one you posted but different page,
http://www.surrealnetworks.com/mpx/SDARegEdits.htm
and..
http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?postid=8109625
For SDA but some work for Dash..
http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=858861
of course people can post here, i just want people to get the right help.
Sometimes surrealnetworks is down. If so try the above addy's but use surrealnetworks.net instead of .com
you're right, one of them should work at all times
just making sure...
QUsers has tons of homescreens and most software that will run on the q will run on the dash so i look there from time to time.
http://www.qusers.com/forum/
At Howard Forums there are three forums to watch. HTC Forum, General Smartphone Forum and TMobile/Windows Mobile Forum.
Modaco Forums cover some good apps in their customization forum.
By far the most important thing to do is read the whole faq at htc, then start reading the forums. Using the faq and surreal networks get the phone app unlocked and slowly start adding programs that you think you need. Take your time and use one for a few days before adding another. This way you know if that prog is conflicting with anything on the phone.

Jak Portal Development (a windows mobile app store style repository) (BETA DOWNLOAD)

Update: With some fixes, it was Tested and working on a Blackjack two (a widescreen display) i should be able to get some stuff up. If someone has a portrait device they can test on that would be great.
UPDATE:
I added a download link at the bottom. i am getting ready to start working on the server side of things, can a couple of you guys download the program and tell me how the first page looks (scroll bars ect) and what screen size you are using. if you can grab a screen shot that would be great. i need to know what i am working with here as far as how big text needs to be, how images are fitting the page ect THIS IS A VERY EARLY BETA and not completely functional (please do not download yet unless you are testing) I will post when we have a decent functional database going for everyone.
hi guys we are developing an "app store" and would like to further development to smartphones. I know you guy don't frequent the dev and hacking section because alot of stuff there doesn't work for you, so i'm posting a notice here to get your attention.
Basically we need a couple people willing to test and provide some links for some apps we can add (as we, the three people currently developin the app don't have smartphones to test on)
I will try and check up on this thread, but you will probably get better support back in the main thread in dev and hacking, here is the link:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471576
look forward to working with you guys
-THIS DOWNLOAD IS FOR TESTING ONLY-
Believe me, you will not yet have use for it otherwise

same here- I have a spare MDA and Dash that I can play with and not worry about
well right now we use an embeded browser so it shouldn't trash your device, we are working on an ftp uploader and possibly a downloader (the downloader just doesn't look as nice as what i can do with some html) We're working on that though right now. I have it downloading all the info to a plain old table which is not very excitable on the eyes.
For a starters can you list off some apps, and link me so i can upload them and get things rolling for you guys?

thanks showacco i'll get them up tomorrow afternoon,
and hopefully i'll get that programs section by then lol... i pulled an all nighter last night setting up the new server so i'm going to bed earlly tonight
i have tons of apps...is there a prerequisite that they have to be legal?
jdoggraz has a great mediafire folder FULL (231!) of great apps for the Dash here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=0457d1314f141cc2ab1eab3e9fa335ca49378675f9b7568a
Yes, they need to be legal. and i'll take a look at the mediafire drive, thanks.
Just letting you guys know, i uploaded some stuff but i'm not going to be able to finish tonight... i just had to transfer everything to a new server and doctor up some code. I'll talk to ather about getting some stuff done tonight by him and hopefully we will have something up this weekend
Download link added (the server isn't all set up yet but will be shortly)
See post one.
i got a "404 error the requested document was not found on the server" im running kavana's latest rom not v24 ricky stylez(sorry stylez) the latest version that recentley came out
i think you need to make the windows symbol a little bit smaller its kind of too big, i'll let you know more later i know its not fully completed.
was the error after clicking start?
if so that is correct, i only have one page up so that i know how large i need to make the images (you should not have to scroll side to side) (although you may need to scroll up and down on the smartphone version... unless we change the layout)
Updates:

[Q] [supernova rom] anyone register for this recently?

Sorry to post this here instead of on the road own thread but I'm too new to xda to post directly to it.
Anyway, I have was looking to download supernova rom, but I can't find where we're supposed to register to get the download link. The only register link I can find is the wordpress one, but that is clearly not the one needed as it bounces me out to another control panel that basically raspberries at my new account.
I don't understand why the dev wants the walled garden anyway.... Isn't the idea of a rom to have people use it???
Extremely frustrated Desire user, confused.brit
sent via a Web browser on my HTC desire stuck on miui cos that's what the previous owner liked

This what Droidzone says in his thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22812444&postcount=3951
Thanks, that reply wasn't there when I looked.
There was a server upgradation work on the site which led to a DNS discrepancy, hence the site was offline.
About why Supernova has a full fledged site, I'll clarify my position once again. I've spent a lot of time over the past two years on my Roms, and I've been convinced that a forum system isnt the most apt one for a development activity-it needs a full fledged site with Bug trackers, Git hosting, FAQ pages, Download link and Mirror Management, Comment trackers, and possibility of expansion. I've found that Wordpress suits the purpose very well. XDA too is considering this approach. So everything related to my Roms is on my dedicated site. There is also the significant advantage of easily updating my links or description, and clone them when they're similiar.
Why do I make registration mandatory?
1. I'd like to monitor the stats of unique users who use my Roms, and their repeat hits. Hence I get regular feedback. If I see the curve fall steeply, I can then move on to other work.
2. It keeps web crawlers who leech download links to other sites away.
Anything I publish is free. The mandatory registration is free and can be finished in 15 seconds.
