Gratitude and Respect :)

JASJAM, Kyphur, LVSW, TripleDes, WPbear and all the others who have combined efforts to produce an amazing set of files which make our devices what they should be to begin with; Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
I have long surfed these forums and can honestly say I would probably not like my Cingular 8525 nearly as much without all of the useful information and upgrades that all of you have provided.
Like many of you there have been a lot of sleepless nights this last week. I have flashed nearly a 2 dozen times and have finally settled on, Jasjam's WMVI Black Edition, with Radio 1.34. I can't believe how smooth and solid and fast my 8525 is now (Not to mention beautiful). I for one, and I think the community at large, owe you guys all big props and respect.

05 APRIL 2007:
Well, I have been sitting here most of the morning reading all of the chaos and hubbub over Black 2.0 and it's decommissioning, and I realize how torn I am.
I was very lucky that after a few days away from the boards that I happened to come back on Tuesday and was actually able to download Black 2.0 before things got crazy. Of course I immediately installed it. It is quite literally PERFECT in my estimation. It installed quickly and Flawlessly and has been Lightning-Fast and Rock-Solid since then. I didn't think it could get any better than it did when I got Black 1.2. I was so ecstatic! I immediately ran to paypal and pumped $15 into your wife's shoe fund, JasJamming. (Us shoe loving women gotta stick together! Yes there are indeed a few of us women hanging around the techie boys.) I have spent the past 2 days literally bouncing off the walls with joy over my now, nearly, Perfect Cingular 8525.
To my shock when I popped in this morning, just to see how everything was going, I saw the horrible news. Though I honestly don't see why there are so many redundant questions on the board, it's not my place to question it either. I simply enjoy looking and learning from all of the other great minds across the world. True Globalization at its finest. How sad it is that in an age when everyone can literally find out anything if they choose, most prefer to simply sit back and let other people do it for them.
Here is where I am torn. On the one hand I understand the frustration you and the other Chefs must feel, Jasjamming. It must be absolutely infuriating to spend so much hard work and a ton of time doing something you really enjoy doing and offering your work up for FREE public consumption, only to then be treated as though you just unleashed the plague. So I can see why you choose to not continue the public advancement of your Black VI build for the Hermes.
On the other side of the coin however, I have found your work to be truly addicting and amazing and am thoroughly annoyed and frustrated that I will no longer be able to have your input and foundations upon which to build my perfect Phone. Truly heartbreaking indeed.
I do hope that one day things settle back down enough that people can once again use theses forums in the spirit they were intended and fun can continue to reign supreme for those who enjoy modding their phones.
In the end, after venting all of this on my keyboard, I realize that it is of course your right and your decision to pull support for Black VI. But I am sad, and your contributions will be sorely missed. I am not sure of the exchange rate between the US and Australia but I hope my little drop in the bucket does get your wife a cute new pair of shoes and that you can still sneak in a cold one with my thanks.
Thank you.

Thanks for your comments melanie,
its comments like this that make it all worth while; people enjoy the contributions.

Welcome to the community...
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who isn't sleeping lately .
Congrats on your having the patience to read and study before simply diving into the deep end.

I want to say thank you to all our Rom Chefs as well. I just want to run through the streets skipping and singing.
You guys are so awesome. One day we're wondering if we'll have roms at all, the next day we have WM6, the day after that 5 versions....
How sweet it is......

Agree!
Yes, I have been a long time XDA user, started with a Blue Angel, then went to a Wizard and how I have the Hermes. On all of them, without exception, these forums and the Dev's that make them worthwhile have been essential to me in order to get the most from these devices. My latest device, the Hermes, had HORRIBLE battery life out of the box from Cingular, I'm talking less than a day on normal to light use. After upgrading to first Kyphur's WM6 and now LVSW's WM6 and going to 1.34 radio; my battery lasts about as long as my Wizard's did. Thanks fellas, nice work, you all make our devices what they should be.

@kyphur,
Congrats on your soon purchase and I hope all goes well (watchout for last minute changes or details). My heart was hanging until I got the keys, walked out of the lawyer's office, and got in my car. Moving was crazy but not stressfull. Good luck with everything and looking forward to .30.

am on xda live 2.0 now, wanted to try the others but the new xdalive start up screen's so beautiful... haha

Thank you to everyone who has made running Windows Mobile 6 possible. I have been a lurker on here for a while, but just recently signed up.
With all of the great information on here I managed to update my Radio and my OS with no trouble at all.
Thanks again guys.
-Kai

although it may seem boring for other readers, I MUST say, as well, thank you from all my heart, not only for allowing us to uncover the inner beauty of these devices, but as well for the opportunity to spend time with you gyus, by reading the forum and trying all the different combinations, softwares, aso.
Its becoming addictive, and for that, Thank You!

I want to thank you guys also. Your sleepless nights, genuine brilliance and talent are really appreciated by me and I'm sure many many others.

I've got to add my thanks to everyone for the hard work, great forum etc...
And to EVERYONE, if you're getting as much out of this forum as I am how about a small donation - either to the gurus direct or to the xda-dev site. Someone out there is paying for our privelege of a 'free' forum.

Appreciation

I to thank all the rom cooks. I have tried all the wm6 releases currently on black 2.0. It's a same that such talent has to deal with all the drama. Looking forward to the next flash.

@excessdivide
Jas will be back... things have gotten better, and you havent noticed the redundant posts due to some heavy house cleaning that i have been doing.. things are looking better than just a few days ago.. so just sit tight and enjoy the ride!

I'm also new to the forum, found it days after getting my 8525 and it saved me from having to return it. I've been completely fasinated every day with the tweaks and enhancements that continue to roll out. That and the occasional f**kwit floggings delt out keep me comming back for more.
People will plunk down $100 for a Nav prog, $20-50 for any number of simple commercial apps. So dig deep folks into your hearts, if you like this forum and take more from it than you can give (like me, I'm a hardware guy, no programmer), please pop some "buckage" to the Chefs and the Forum. I shot some $$ to JJ for Black2 simply out of respect, this weekend I'll flash to it and if it's as good as I've been reading, I'll be sending what I feel an op system is worth.
I thank all of you for simply taking the time to document what you do, so others like me can share in your world.

shogunmark,
Thank you. I feel I should tell you, it was actually your name that first came up on Google many months ago when I started looking for help with my Cingular 8525. I don't honestly remember the problem which sent me searching but I do remember the advice you posted was dead on and very helpful and had me back up and running in an instant. In essence, you were the one who got me addicted to the crack which is XDA-Developers! LOL!
But again, I do want you and all of the other advanced users to know how much your advice and input is appreciated. If I could, I would donate to all of you guys and fund your efforts completely. Alas, it is not my lot in life to be independently wealthy, so my adoration must suffice.
Many Thanks,
Melanie

Wow, I thought I was the only one! It's good to know other women are interested in modding their phones as well. I have been coming into these forums daily and have really enjoyed reading about all the new updates and tricks and tips. I feel the same way as you about appreciating the rom chefs and other contributors and feel the frustration also of everything else that has been going on here. I can see the housecleaning has been going very well too and that some tempers have settled down and things may be getting back to a more normal environment.
Thanks to all the rom cookers and those that made upgrading much safer and easier.

YAY PhonePhun! I'm not alone! Hahaha! I'm glad to see you around!
I am often teased 'cause I would just as easliy splurge on a pair of Louboutin's as I would an $800 phone!
Anyway, glad to meet ya'!
Cheers!

Funny you should say that since he was also the one who got me to come in here with more interest than I had before that point. For me he had said some really decent stuff on another forum and I wanted to see what more really decent things he had to say here LOL, nice meeting you too! Oh, and I know what you mean by the people around me not understanding why this stuff interests me too.

Where have all the good cooks went?

I am a newbie here, just joint the community not too long ago. However noted that all the good cooks went missing? Previously, every month there be a number of new roms being released? However, lately not much of new roms being released? Where have all the good cook went? Will here be a 'ghost' town especially with the forthcoming Kaiser?
Just my 2 cents of opinion?

Oooh, you'll catch hell for that one...

I think with WM6 being released, it has taken the punch out of some of the cooks fun\obsession. Also there has been several good kitchens released that allow for just about anybody to cook their own rom just how they want it. Check out the Pandora thread it's great!

I hope they reappear for the Kaiser.

Pff...What the hell are you doing here on this forum, if you think most of us dont live a normal life, like we are all nerds or people with no life.. because most of us like to modify our phone..
Look in the miror, you will see the person with no life..

Bro Bram87,
Please don't start flamming over here.... just a discussion wil do. Everyone here loves their Hermes!

waiting for wm7...

The real reason is that the production WM6 release is very stable & fast

Some cooks are still here... We still have some Betas... That means LIFE

Err i think the cooks are here, its just all the roms out there dont really need any improvement now?
if you try a few of the latest ones, you will see you'll have very little rom related issues, so no need, to cook, and improve the roms!

fil,
Yes I do agree, the current batch of roms are very stable and fast. But however, I do find that a cook is always a cook, whereby the perfection will never take place, always challenging till the end!
my 2 cents of opinion...

Pardon me?
I'll agree with the others... it's getting pretty difficult to improve on the Hermes ROM at this point. Working on it, though.

Aside from the facts that there are some excellent chefs still in the hermes kitchen, that the roms are probably near completition for WM6 etc - I think what drove a lot of the cooks away was a combination of the constant flaming that seems to go on in the Hermes forums - I typically find most of it pretty funny but reading through some of the other forums I am always surprised how there is nowhere near as much flaming going on. That and I think they got sick of people complaining there rom broke this or that when it was something stupid the person did and didn't follow the instructions or do a simple search for the solution. I could easily see how that could put somebody off of releasing to the public something they worked so hard to make.
Regardless of all that, there are some great chefs about - VP3g, Schapps, Duttythroy, Dutty (I think still puts out roms), JasJamming (though he doesn't realse them here any more - somebody usually post a link when he does). If I forgot to mention you or butchered the spelling of your name - sorry - not intentional

I think the cooks on here are doing an excellent job! the problem is Microsoft now is starting to do some sh** right and making a fast rom for our phone. I've tried every rom on xda that I could find at least once to test them. It's just getting harder for the cooks to cook better roms when they are working with the software that is released and taking their time to help us.
Just remember its like the military the stuff they've have for 10 years is just new to citizens. its kinda similar with wm6 just give em time and until then enjoy the awesome roms that we have!!!!
.... or you could build your own if your that risky.

Respect to the Cookers

I would jus like to say RESPECT to all of the cookers who have worked hard to produce these ROM’s for us.
I have used Tom’s B&B 4.0 and.4.1 Mischle’s premium plus and 2.1, and also Fracoon’s 2.1 final. Tom’s is cosmetically brilliant, Meschle’s is very stable with excellent apps cooked in, and Fracoon’s is lightning fast and stable. I must say that these men have put in a tremendous amount of hours into producing these ROM’s. These ROM’s all work much better than that of O2, T-Mobile and all of the other providers.
What I especially like about these men is that they provide and excellent service and support right around the clock, in spite of the abuse for some complainers, who forget that these guys are giving freely of their time and resources. I have logged sometimes late into the night and these men are still providing support for us.
Please guy’s don’t forget that the majority of us appreciate the hard work that you do for us.

/signed!!!

absolutely correct! Thanks a lot to all of them, great work guys !

romac,
Thanks for saying exactly what I'm thinking. And you guys (Tom, Meschle, aje_fr, Fracoon and I know I'm far from having listed one hundredth of all the guys that are cooking or helping cookers), thanks for your hard work on making us such good ROMs. Your work is definitely better than the one made by all these providers we bought our P3300s from
The_Steph

-=RESPECT=-
""""For all cookers."""""
----------------------------
God bless you guys

A bear hug to all of them - trust me - my size is big enuf for all
Cooks are important no doubt....but then what would cooks do if the spices were missing....along with them - I think the ones who build the smaller particles (individual cabs, apps etc) deserve to be recognized also....
A bear hug (or jadu ki jhappi) to all of them - trust me - my size is big enuf for all !

Add Mine too
My admiration too for the excellent work.

Hear...Hear
+1000000...my greatest compliment for all of the cookers out there. You are the ones that make things run the way it should.
Best Regards,

i'll second that
All the cookers are talented guys who we all owe a great deal of respect......even Meshle who has been sent ot Coventry

Great job, guys.

RESPECT! great job

good staff
thanks you and respect peace and love Tom, Meschle, aje_fr, Fracoon and ME lol

Thanks to all the cooks

Agree 100%. You guys ROCK!!!

My Thanks goes out to all the peeps behind the scene, not to forget Pof, without his USPL program, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the aftermarket roms
Kudos to all!

Very Good Point!!!!

Me too.....
I think it should be made known that the term cookers cover everyone who makes ROM and ALL developers created tools to install the ROM to our PPC and ALL developers that creates new programs/fixes....I hope that covers it this time....
Great job...please keep it up...thanks

/signed, what more is there to say!

The work you people do is amazing, I bought my Orbit and was saddened at the sloooow speed of the thing but you guys changed that! ROMS, stability, CABS, tips, help!
Thanks goes out to ALL of you!

They just made a great phone even better, a big respect to all cookers

Guys thankyou for respect
For myself i cooked these roms for you guys to enjoy - to have something bug free (well almost ) that you could use day in and day out

This site is AWESOME

Just wanted to say this is the BEST site on the net I know of for everything there is to know about HTC's like my 8125.My first post here was a dumb question that I had.It only took a few minutes to find perfect answer for it.I've only been playing around with upgrading my phone to WM 6 for a few weeks.When I came to this site...That has changed.I want to learn as much as I can about my 8125.I would like to replace the housing myself when I feel that I can do it myself.So that's it...Thanks to all mods and members for tons of info.

LOL

Glad there was already a thread for praise.
I had an Apache for quite a while before I learned just how amazing that phone could be. Now, I'm on to my Titan & am loving it. If I had to use the phone in its stock form, I'd probably hate it. With what I've learned the phone can do, I love it... and what I've learned, I've largely learned here.
XDA-Dev is fabulous.
Thanks to all!!!!

Welcome to Paradise! And of course Happy Flashing to all the new members!!

I Agree
What can I say...
This site is awesome, however I have also found that you get back what you put in.
Still consider myself a relative newbie but working on that thanks to XDA Developers

i've recently read an article about mobile phones and the scene in a local computer magazine and xda-devs was mentioned as the legend, bible, and all those super-uber-extra-mega praises.. ^^

Without Xda-Dev my diamond would be dead (or maybe just sold
Just have to sign up to thank you guys.
I have been five year Palm but had to jump due to a move to 3G Japan.
After two days I was about to smash my Diamond into little pieces, it was so unresponsive compared to my Palm.
Then I stumbled onto this site and was reminded why it is I chose winmobile, despite it being spawned from the beast.
It's because of you guys, the hackers and tweakers, tirelessly tinkering until perfection. If it wasn't for the tweaks and the utlities (like gsen) my diamond would still be a source of frustration than the delight it has become.
Once I get my finances in order I am definitely going to paypal some cash somewhere. I would super keen to donate to anyone making a system font manager, something that can cleanly link and unlink fonts.
Richie

This is one great site, it is a wealth of info and has got me on my marry way so I thought i best say thanks before I left
THANK YOU

[retirement]

Hi folks!
Yes, yes, I know this is Trinity Mobile 6 and I am posting this here even though I spent several weeks cleaning the mess up but firstly I am a MOD and I can allow myself to do it (kidding) and second, I was a Chef here (in case you forgot) so it's pretty much related to Mobile 6.
I didn't think I'll see the day I'd post this to you...
Unfortunately (for me for sure) I am retiring from cooking for the Trinity. As some of you might know, I upgraded to Diamond recently and Moderating the messiest forum around (Diamond) plus testing and preparing for cooking for the Diamond pretty much takes up all my time. I still have my Trinity in case you wonder, and you bet I'll be back flashing the newest ROMs released by the fine Chefs we have here (and feedback plus criticise )!
Well, my journey ends here after starting with some Media Player skins, boot screens, splash screens, today themes, tweaks, some cabs and finally cooking 15 ROMs (from which 3 for the 3600i - great people there).
My kind request to you is to keep up the good work, maintain the friendly and helpfull attitude, treat everyone with respect and maintain as much as possible the order in the Forums... or else I'll be back to kick some butts and ban you
I wish you all good luck!!!
Do not hesitate to contact me with anything, still consider me a Trinity user as my heart will always belong to this forum and device!

Thank you for everything tnyyntYou're THE BEST.Pozdrawiam

thank's bro.

Cheers for all the hard slogger you have put into modding the Trinity forums, however short lived!!
Our loss is the Diamond forums (much needed) gain Super thanks

farewell
hi tnyynt,
it's great to have you to cook for us (p3600i as not many or even none out here to do it) and it's sad to see you are leaving but happy that you got the Diamond.
I've been trying to learn how to cook p3600i as I have one and many others too. I hope you can pass me some information about p3600i so that I can continue in the future to support p3600i (as I can see I will have this p3600i for a long time )
Cheers bro

My man!!!! So sad to hear that!!! The hint you gave in your 315/6/7 was REAL! Sh*t!
I wish best of luck with Diamond!!! I want to get that as well but it doesn't have a memory slot!!!
Thank you for your rom my frnd!

thank you
among the hundreds of roms i played with, i remember two: yours and bepe's ...

Well, congrats on the Diamond purchase Still pondering on getting the Raphael (per you sig) ?

you retired, who will be .
No one......
Miss you

Thanks again!

Thanks for your great work!

thks brother, I hope one day you will be back to trinity again just for fun.

Now I'm very happy with my Trinity, but maybe some day we will meet on Diamond or maybe Raphael forum Good luck and be happy with your new device
Thanks for everything my friend!
