Wow I got in at #1 on the useless post

The screen capture utility incorporated in 1.2 blew monkey nuts, so I installed vSnap. Comes with a timer, and very user-friendly interface. Everything else is great in 1.2 so I'm wondering if upgrading to 2.0 is really necessary right now. I started desgining a Wisbar theme to go with this ROM, so hopefully I can work on it as long as I can convince myself to hold off on 2.0 for a few days.

I posted similar feelings months ago on the Wizard Forums with no real response.
I mean, nothing personal folks, but who really cares that you're looking forward to this release or that release and your download is at 39 percent and you're just so happy and your daughter's been asked to the prom and your step-on dawg just had puppies...
I have noticed that there seems to be a smarter and somewhat nicer class of folks here than on the Wizard forums but then agian I just got here a while ago and am still reading the WIKI here and doing my best not to ask stupid questions as the majority of my posts have been answering the same elsewhere.
As an aside.... kudos to all the chefs here! I really love my Hermes and am looking forward to contributing my two cents worth here.
Regards!

Well Said
My post count doesn't reflect the research that I've put in here, but geezus, the questions that come out.....
One of my favorites was the guy who asked about his i-Mate SPL in the Hermes forum.
Word of advice to all posters: Think before you post. Your intelligence quotient (IQ for short) depends on it.
JJ, great job on the ROM and get some sleep!

hah!.... just when you have 'Black 2.0 Idle Chat and useless Comment thread', seems like nobody want to write those useless comment...
I agree with Eagle 1, it is difficult to browse through 30pages, looking for the possible solution with certain issues.... this thread is more like it...
(well, actually i also post the useless comment there, not because of post count, but purely because of excitement and appreciation to jas -and his friends)

will this ROM work on my motorola AMPS phone? it has an red LCD display? is it 240x320? not sure, please dont flame me.
who is wifi and where do i find him?

Flashed and working well
I flashed and the sucker's working nicely.
I had the initial cert error, but when I connected to my WMDC (Vista) and established a partnership, the cert issue disappeared. (cert was expired message).
WiFI works awesome. Will probably patch on the bubble fix.
Only complaint is Comm Manager not black. Not really a complaint. Really glad it isn't lime green anymore.
Excellent work, JJ. Who knows, Black may be the one and only.
Beers on the way!

hey thanks for your comments.
commanager is a ***** to skin as u have to decompile the executable.
walshieau is working on it at the moment, and if he gets it done we we release a cab.

Upgraded and it works well. My only question is whether anyone (on Telstra) has been able to get Foxtel/AFL etc working on this build? I know they recently released a ROM upgrade for WM5 but any luck with WM6 and Black V2.0?

Yeah, I read that somewhere in another thread.
Hats off to walshieau as well!
Maybe you two can enjoy the beers together?
Nice to have a stable WM 6.0 again (had XBow beta & RTM for a bit, till M$ took back their Wizard.... it's come a long way since then)
Also got VC 1.6 working with the "Jules" CAB.
Starting to load other shat on it, but staying away from Resco (not SuperCID, had issues with certs)
Have a good one and get some rest. I'm heading there now (booty call!)

Great Rom and good job

So then, is this rom a final release or is it still based on a beta like the other releases?
Also, where the fook do they come from... surely they don't just full out the sky

Oh, and this is my 3rd ROM install, it's amazing how easy it is. Did it late last night, so I don't know how it is yet, but the black theme is great!

Can't get to their portal to see updates .

Well OK... as a chef hes a genius, as a person, with his attitude, he deserves NOTHING.
I'm sure MS would prefer us not to talk about their stuff, I'm sure the operators would prefer us not to talk about their stuff.
What right does he have to ask this?

Hey all, does anyone know if this is the fixed version resolving the dll conflict and startup issues? I would go to the 4winmobile black forum but it's down at the moment... been down for an hour or so... I think they're upgrading their forum software...

A little respect and a THANK YOU to the creator of what you are now reading and wanting to download and use wouldn't hurt you know. I'm not in anyway affiliated with JJ, but I do respect his wishes since we are the ones sitting around waiting for him to finish this colossal task of cooking a ROM for us... at least we can say thanks and not attack him on top..... my 0.02...
[edit] by the way, even if 4winmobile.com is down, his site http://wmblack.info/ which has the 100% latest download is up

OK JJ already requested that HIS ROM not be mirrored on anything else.
This thread will be closed.

I know http://wmblack.info/ may have the latest release but the http://wmblack.info/ website doesn't tell us if the release has the dll conflict and soft reset issues resolved (hang during shadow splash). just wondering if this release is OK. I'm sure there are plenty of users waiting for this release to stabilize before going through the install process and then discover my hermes just hangs at some splash screen and have to go through the cycle of doing soft and hard resets....

Downloaded from Wmblack.info about an hour ago.
Flashed the Rom and no problems.
Nice.
But have removed the HTC homeplugin. Preferred my own combination, but a nice try.
Re the ROM discussion on XDA - whilst I am a fan of JJ I do not see how trying to restrict discussion on here is practical or the logic in it. As long as everyone is aware that if you want to feedback to JJ and recieve support from JJ then you need to do it on the official website. People can chat about the ROM wherever they like, they may just be misinformed or not receive any help, but that is their choice.
I do not think that trying to block additional mirrors will be practical although as I have not had any problems with the main downoad page, so not sure why mirrors are needed.

Whats so special about a jumped up little **** who took his ball in and went home in a huff?
As I said in my first post - as a chef, hes great. I have no problem with that, but his arsey stuck up arrogant attitude makes me sick.
So tell me.... We cook and mess with ROMS. Its all frowned upon, and let we discuss it.
Why the hell should we be banned in case he gets his knickers in a twist?

Did JJ break a promise to you? Did he get your sister pregnant? Did he welch on a major business deal with you?
I simply cannot understand why you are so aerated about his decision to host and support his free roms elsewhere...

Just An Idea : Read Please.....

Sorry To Everybody Who Answered Below, But Due To Problems With Hard Drive, I Lost All Roms And Cabs On My Computer. So If A Admin Or Mod Reading This Post, Please Delete It

that would be awesome. when I first came to the forum, I had a real hard time sorting through all the releases.
But the only problem is, you must be updating that thread frequently as there is a new release every few days.
Also it would be even more awesome if you could add a release date next to each link so that people know what is new and what is old and what is being updated.

yeah i would do that, if everyone agrees, will start it next tuesday onwards....

Nice Idea One stop Shop .. Please go ahead and post it.

Go for it, and maybe someone will STICKY it!!

thats the idea, hopefully it will be stickied, gotta get bank holiday weekend outta the way, also might see a couple new roms in next few days....

Fantabulous.

I have the same thing but with all games and apps for the Hermes, too bad I cant post them

Hehe, yeah well for the unscrupulous among this crowd that's what that OTHER site is for.

Good plan Batman, sticky should be defo applied!!!
but i think there would have to be a way of stopping people posting any questions about the ROM or software otherwise the thread will turn into a messy ROM&CAB bank/Support thread!
Also if you can only post 5 attachments on each post, so unless you are going to upload CABs to Rapidshare (or whatever the you use) and then provide weblinks.
Also i would consider not using Rapidshare because once you download a ROM from it you get banned from download for 30-120 mins depending on the network traffic at the time, i think you should consider using SENDSPACE, MEGAUPLOAD, THERE IS LOADS MORE UNLIMITED ONES HERE
Last point, think the thread should only have your Posts on it, cantact a MOD with the idea and ask them if it is possable

TouchXperience project progress
Written by Julien Schapman
Saturday, 27 September 2008 07:32
To make you patient until the public release, I decided to give you regular news about TouchXperience project progress and to give you more details about some TouchXperience features. Don't hesitate to make suggestions in the dedicated forum.
The first public release will be (finally!) available in October (2008!), TouchXperience will be available for HTC TyTN, TyTN II, Touch Pro, Touch Diamond, and later Touch HD. Other devices may be supported in the future and non-HTC touch devices (such as Samsung Omnia/i900) are not excluded, but be aware that I need to invest in new devices to work on it, and developping for non-HTC devices may take longer because I use to develop on HTC hardware only.

Site has exceeded bandwidth... he didn't sneak a release out last night did he?

Lol it's might just be the case. Site has never been down since he took it online. I've been checking the release status frequently.

Following some site's the rom is now downloadable. But the site won't work because of the traffic. Also it's possible that some other company has bought the product from him... You never know.
So maybe it won't be downloadable at all. But ofcourse he won't sell it, will he?
Can't wait untill there is some download link available.
Ok taking this back, just read that he won't sell it. Since he said it himself. Hope there will soon be a new mirror. I really respect this

That last link is for a new item posted on 1st August
I'm sure if it was released he would have popped in to say so. Looks like something caused a traffic surge though, maybe he got slashdotted lol.

Hmm....
Yeah, that is pretty interesting... I guess we'll have to follow up over the weekend to see what the truth is!

Try clicking on the link in the Dutch forum, it sends you to the "Site has exceeded bandwidth" screen. Schaps may have released it but has been too busy to post it here. Could also just be a demo or test app...
Will keep trying and update later..

Unfortunately the recent release of the Android 1.0 source code (http://source.android.com/download) and the HTC ROMS that will surely follow may make this project moot.
Kaiser ROM Development
Hermes Android ROM Discussion
Especially considering that Windows Mobile 7 may not be out until 2010.
But so goes the software industry...

Not really as the developement of Android for the Hermes isn't exactly powering along and the general consensus is that it may not be possible to port Android to the Hermes. Something to do with the fact Hermes is a ARM4 processor and Android was made to work on ARM5.

But the Hermes doesn't have much real life left, in fact the Kaiser is getting a bit old, too. At least as far as mobile devices go.

The Kaiser is not even a year old. Hell AT&T does not even have a replacement yet for the tilt.

Dash, 6.5 on unit for sale on craigslist.ca

Hey there all just wondering about this rom, i know its been posted before but i think its worthy of talking about again, this is just wondering a Beta the copy out there isn't it ?, anyone know the direct link to getting it on our S620 S621's, and want to explain things about this rom, i thought i read though the 6.5 has been deleted off of here ?
if you'd like to check this ad out go to www.craigslist.ca make sure your looking in Toronto.

No 6.5 for Excalibur so save your money. If it would be anywhere it would be here.

First off the beta version of 6.5 rom that was on the forum was for a different device and yes they removed all links and download mirrors for it. Who else you would thing whould have it but us? Microsoft got wind that we had unofficial and unlicensed copies if it , and the moderators took it out.
1. this was the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474869
2. This is what it looked like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3214841&postcount=1

This guy seem's to say he has a working copy on his phone, maybe i can get the rom off of him or see what he says how he got it working on his dash.
