Hi Guys,
I've been hunting on Ebay for a new(er) Universal and came across this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250188024312&fromMakeTrack=true
This seller is selling WM6 Hermes Roms, I have reported this to Ebay and queried the seller (who seems to have allready made a tidy packet)
As a Dev myself here, it annoys me greatly that people like this try to make money presumably from other peoples hard work on this forum and others.
Could all Hermes Devs have a look at this guys post, and report it to Ebay too if you believe it to be some one elses work, or simply just immoral, since the service he offers is provided to anyone here and in other forums for free by hard working Developers like myself who Develop, modify and port Roms for the better of the community.
Cheers,
Beasty
Has already been removed. Seems to have had positive effect to report this to ebay.
Seems to be a few on Aussie Ebay, which is a Digital Download from the U.S...
Here is one of them......

Well guys, what forums are there for the Dash? I have been lurking around this one, modaco.com, and qusers.com. Any others I should know about?
howardforums.com is still the most active forum for the excalibur i've seen so far
under the htc, wm smartphone, and t-mobile wondows mobile subsections
Agreed, and I have yet to see a Excalibur specific forum similar to Qusers.........yet
dashusers.com...I'm working on it...need some moderators to help me out though.
I just joined Dashusers. Good to see it. I'll help if you can use me.
Thanks a lot for the support guys. I have been working a lot on getting it setup right. I am having trouble integrating the forums with it as my hosting service is being a pain in the butt. I am thinking of switching to another service altogether.
Whatever happens, it should be at least functional in a couple a days.
I finally got the forums working. You guys will need to re-register.
Thanks again for all the support.
Cool - I'll take a peek!
dashsmartzone is out there too.
There is also a forum started up called forum.dashsmartzone.com. It has a couple fairly technical Dash moderators targeting the finer points of the Dash.
Why don't we have a Stealth forum in here?
We do, but it has a negative refractive index, it's just that stealthy.
Seriously: I don't think there's been much call for such a thread. slinky.

EDIT: PARTIALLY DELETED TO AVOID CONFUSION....... POLICY IS IF IT ISN'T HTC IT ISN'T GOING TO GET A SECTION
I'm for one... Issue is, I think there were many people here looking around for Stealth-related stuff, but left after finding so little info...
I would welcome it as well - xda-developers is well known site and many former users come here...
Kindly excuse my shameless-ness... But... BUMP!!
appreciate it very much if there's a stealth forum. i'm a newbie to the whole wm5 and using stealth. got lots of issues in o2 apps like o2 plus, ezitext and some others, like rom upgrades and the whole shebang.
I will be anther one.
I'm a stealth fanatic too...
yes please!
same here, i use O2 Stealth too..i want WM6 upgrade
i use O2 Stealth too.
me too .....we are not too bad
hi,my friends ... how to upgrade wm6 on my stealth?any idea?
Hi All,
The stealth isn't a HTC phone, at this moment there is no room for non HTC phones on the forum. Sorry..
Best regards,

But why? The forum is called XDA-developers and it is the O2 XDA Stealth, it doesn't say HTC-developers does it?
O and by the way, isn't the Atom and Stealth produced by the same company, because they are quite simular....?

Our portal page has the following welcome message:
Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a secretive firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.
If you look closely you will also see that not all phones made by HTC have a place on this forum simply because there isn't room to give every phone a forum.
Best regards,
Flar

too bad.. i'm using Stealth too..

Im a Stealth user now too. Works well even in the States on Cingular/ATT. It does seem silly to have not even a small section devoted to xda's of all sort on a xda forum site. There is support for phones almost 5 yrs old that get maybe 1 or 2 new posts a month and this phone is only about 1yr old.
Just because O2 and HTC broke ties doesnt mean xda-developers and xda phones should break ties!
I have had a stealth in the past and would have loved to have seen a stealth forum at the time. IMHO i think that xda-dev would benefit greatly with a stealth forum. In fact I think that creating forums for all Non-HTC phones would be a great idea for the PPC community.
lol @ vijay....its just that stealthy

But if there is not a Stealh forum, could somebody please tell me which phone it is most like?
I think the stealth is quite simular to the atom, but which one? (pure/exec/etc.)
Dude, i swear this isn't me! Someone it appears DOES run my rom!!! Yay! lol...

Ok, it's out of my system, back to work...
Maybe that is why he is selling it?
LOL!, Thanks jerk...
Shadowmite,
I was not aware that you have your own WM6 ROM
Where is it?

I will go out on a limb and guess it is at that link in his sig on rapidshare - called Shadowmite_ROM_v1.rar (or something like that)
Not good...
Flattering though it may be, if it were me I'd be contacting the seller and "suggesting" they not be selling it with a WM6 cooked ROM. IMO, it puts XDA in a precarious position. I found one running CUSTEL's ROM a couple weeks ago and the listing was subsequently cancelled after I notified him of it.

I know people who purchased phones from distributors in Europe with LVSW ROMs pre-installed
Is the ebay seller called Savings Explosion... or Saving Sex Plosion?
question: why was your ROM not advertised in it's on thread here?
Cause it's nothing special... If I ever do something I consider worthy I'll let everyone know...
And may i add knowing Shadow he might just come out with the best ROM we have seen so far. But thats just a personal hunch from my experience with his work back in the Palm days

well dood, you are apparently a hero wth "M4D SK|LLZ"
so we we wait with patience & interest
I'd be tempted to notify that seller that there are atleast 2 porkies on that auction, but Im sure they already know.
1. The main listing it is described as new. (later its described as lightly used)
2. Its described as still under warranty.
IF your ROM is nothing special and you don't distribute it, how come this guy has a copy?
You wouldn't be selling an 8525 on ebay now would you?
Oh yes, nice splash

i think wheather or not someone sells a modded phone running wm6 should be between the author of the rom and the seller not anyone else. there are some people out there that would just rather pay for someones time rather than taking the risk of flashing a rom themselve. further more the amount of crying some members do about noob questions being asked i dont see why anyone should care other than the seller and chef. if it was your rom and you had an issue with someone selling there phone with it on it then you should contact the seller. i have sold several phones with roms on them other than the ones i have cooked and i make sure i donate money to not only the cooks but others as well. you are not the ebay police and there are plenty of sites to links to roms for these phones xda is not the only one i h8 to burst your bubble. and by the way if you werent paying attention the roms have been removed from xda if you remember. so he didnt get it from here so no reason why M$ should be worried anymore. obviously shadowmite doesnt care so dont consern your self with things that dont consern you. im not trying to be a **** but people such as yourself are not bending over backwards to help people mod there phones so if someone is nice enough to offer it you shouldnt bother them. feel free to pm me if you would like to have a further discusion no reason to bring this back up in the forum to bring any unwanted attention.
ba ha ha ha
ba ha ha ha ha. I think this is probably the first time I laughed out loud reading this forum~! You did, after all, set that up rather well [makes volleyball gesture...]
Honestly though, with these dang threads around here asking questions like "Why is everybody around here a-holes?" and such, it's good to read light-hearted humor. I think we can always use another ROM chef around here~! It'd be cool to check out your dish as well.

I'm selling my JasJam in a few days time and it will go with i-mate's own ROM in it; everything will be as it were: IPL, SPL, OS, ExtROM and Radio. Luckily with the latest radio ROMs all traces or previous adventures with SuperCID and all can be wiped.
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.

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
Hi there! I'm unsure to whether I'm allowed to ask this question, but I did check and search the forums, no one has asked this question.
My question is pretty specific.
Note: (not asking about G2)
Where can i find an HTC Desire Z?
(specifically the NAM Bell Version with the correct bands to run AT&T 3G)
and for how much?
P.S.
I already know about the Negri Electronics one, just would like to know more options!
If you're not allowed to post links please PM me!
Thanks in advance!
There was a similar thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875692
And also some discussion of where to purchase on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873476
I got mine from Negri. Not the cheapest place. But they were in stock (they have live webchat support on their site, and he was able to check it realtime), and it shipped about 2 hours later. Great service. In addition to the coupons linked in on of the above threads, there is also an offer which saves you $20 if you use Google Checkout (I used this one):

There are a couple other similar vendors around, if you look. Or there are some on eBay. You might be able to get cheaper if you look around, bid in the eBay auctions, etc.
The phone is absolutely fantastic. You will not be disappointed!
Wow, many thanks! You can conclude I'm pretty blind forum wise, regardless you helped me so I am thankful. !
Thank you for the detailed post!
