He is hawking Kavana ROM as his own, he even uses kavana's pictures with his email address/profile.
[edit] look at the people bidding on it though... even the buyers are shady. http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=280245658129

God that is shady but where anyone can make a couple of squid they will and as gixxum quoted it's not an official release and i'm damn sure that Kavana has not got copyright of the rom in question, lets just hope that the seller has a freak accident of nature?
Meh someone trying to make money off of someone elses hard work. Happens all the time.
Aww i see, thanks for replys
IS this one of you guys?

thats the rom i made but im not the one selling it
Dude, BOOK THAT GUY !!!
I wish I had the time, unfortunately I don't but someone needs to take action. Damn, he's done a full professional job with the ad too, what a scammer !!!
I can't believe he's making money out of what's offered for free here and not to forget - that's not even his !
lastly, it's sad that people have actually bought the rom...pathetic!

It's a disgrace that someone can make money for something that is readily available "Free" and not credit & royalty Kavana.
Wow, I can't believe people are doing this. But there is nothing we can do about it I figured because the Rom is not copyrighted material; therefore, anyone can sell it unless Kavana copy rights, which I believe can not be done since its a "cooked" rom rather then an official rom.
Somebody Has to Destroy This Guy
I swear to God, if something isn't done about this, and pronto, I am going to completely go postal on this guy.
So, for the feds out there reading this, if something happens to that guy, I probably did it. He deserves it, and good luck catching me. HAHAHA!
Haha he does deserve it, especially for doing something like this
you can report him through the ebay pages, but don't forget to use the "ask seller a question" button. I have sent a few to let him know we're not happy about it. He gets enough and maybe he'll take it down. Also, I told him I was going to contact every bidder to let them know where to get it for free.
USE THAT BUTTON!

Oh sounds good, I will do the same thing as well... I am going to let everyone know that they could download it from our website... It seems as if people are getting ripped off by buying a free program... Kavana and Ricky put together this for us for free therefore it should be this way... No one should try to sell it... If anyone has the right to sell the program it would be Ricky and Kavana.

Nice and p'lite like, honest guv'nor.
I notice it is a 'Private Listing', we cant now see who buys off him.
So, having trawled through the options available for report to eBay, which one are we going to use?

I suggest in your future ROM put comments in the home.xml files' header.
It's a DISGRACE for people to make money out of somebody else's sweat. I know how difficult and time consuming it is to make ROMs.
selling someone elses work is just wrong...
i agree with everything everyone else has said already
and reading all the previous posts makes me also think
that in buying any rom off ebay, you dont have the full

If anyone can help me obtain a newer (or release!) WM6 rom, I'd be ever so grateful. I'd like to do some cooking on it, and release it on here.
I can help you get it off your phone if that's they only way you have it! Or, of course, an .nb is good too
PM me if you can help.
I'm sure LVSW can help you with that
The only problem - it may cost you $2.5/MB

You are a genius...cooking a rom with some heavy bugs and WHAT A COINCIDENCE, you are the only man who can fix it...only by skype
a true entrepreneur!
An Opinion -
This is a developers site where people help each other and learn for free.
That's why this site is so amazing and successfull.
Asking for donations or money to help others for a fee should be stopped immediately. If anyone wants a donation or money for services (sick) then create your own private site and do it from there!
The argument that thier time is money and cannot help noobs, then they have no place on this site.
Also, ALL DONATION requests on this site should be for XDA-Developers and XDA-Developers Wiki sites ONLY.
This is a call to the administrators of XDA Developers: Please keep this site to the standards that it always is and has been.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Could not possibly agree more with this.
Its disgusting and unethical.
Each to their own, but do it in your forum/web/blog not here.
I am all for donations, and praising/rewarding/bribing the creators of these excellent tools/roms etc.
Its a crying shame when that gets turned into a profit making, scamming situation and preying on noobs and constantly asking to be PAID (not donated to) to hep using free information just because they can't be bothered showing the way and would rather charge to do it themselves.
donations are DONATIONS!
(not talking about legolas)
If I want to reward a developer It`s my choice! to do that, I need a link for donations.
and guys, I dont know why your bugging LegolasTheElf,
here he gives he`s support with no demand, out on skype where he give`s more attention he want`s a payback - it`s he`s choice.
I and a big portion of all of us want to reward the developers!
donations is the only way and I hope you`ll see whats so important in donations.
Don't even think of removing the concept of donations.

I agree - BUT donations should not be solicited from this site.
Its getting ugly!!
Developers can link to their own sites and ask for donations from there.
Not from here. This can be controlled by the administrators.

ok guys... enough with all of that... Its fine to have links to accept donations... we always ask that the person donates to the board, but in some instances people would like to donate to the person that helped them.. we dont make posts asking for donations, we arent begging.. its there for an option to person, not mandatory.. we are here whether we get donations or not... end of discussion.. im locking this thread, its gone way off topic. sorry lego, gotta lock it..

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 have recently acquired a new phone and moved out of Windows Mobile as it is too confusing for me. My Jasjam is almost brand new with complete box packing and also with 2GB micro sd card. If anybody interested in forum, may please contact me on [email protected]. Im from INDIA.

Then I apologize my friend. Even if somebody had a thousand posts, I would only buy from him if the transaction is absolutely formal and reversible. When the seller has only a couple posts, it becomes only more risky. I just wanted to warn josh, because I have been using his ROMs lately, and I am aware of the recent accident his Hermes had, and I don't want him to face another trouble based on Hermes I am sure he already knows what I am saying. This is the Internet and there is no point in transferring your precious money without a guarantee and crossing your fingers. Once again, no offense intended. Nothing personal. Just a friendly warning.

That thread is bad and someone is going to get robbed and blame it on the world, starting within that thread
@redbandana
Mate anybody can get robbed at any place if the seller/robber for that matter is having this intention. If you think Ebay is secure I would suggest you to look at the facts.
As Dave has mentioned that this is a developers forum & not any market place.
That thread is just an humble beginning to consolidate the single issue of buying & selling devices.
It was not meant to make anything like market place.
Let me share one more thing with you. I being a volunteer in many of Climate change initiatives felt like sharing our devices which could help us mitigate the carbon emmission. You know how much it takes to make a single device. So you can understand if we could save some carbon emissions by sharing our devices.
Hope you would appreciate it.
Making a thread in itself emits carbon[atleast more than making a post & then avoid searching for something here & there].

I am glad you people support it too.
orb3000, bro thanks for your concern as well.
hey hey hey. calm down guys. i know ebay dealextreme made-in-china etc. is market place. But how can i ask them what i need ? By the way in xda-developers has lots of professional users and technicans. So that they know what i need better than an ebay seller. this was just an idea for this situation.
Dont argue for an idea. i repeat that was just an idea...
I was just looking for an excuse to do something else instead preparing for exams, and there it was, sound finally working on Touch pro2!
To tell the truth, I've given up hope. I even started looking for a new phone, but never found anything that could compete with Rhodium's features, namely the awesome keyboard.
But I should have known better.
Now it's just down to the opengl driver and camera. Well and BT but I consider BT in any form non functional anyway
Anyway, to show my appreciation for the hard working awesome devs I'd like to donate to the project. How do I go about doing that?

Welcome to the world of free. People still want it to work like devs are getting paid, but not pay anything.
i started with 10$ it's ridiculous i know, i pay more for my lunch each day.
but everyone here downloading hard work for free should consider doing the same. think of it, it's a good way to thank for the work already being done and encourage the guys for continuing if they still want to.
personally, i will continue to donate for each release i download
Thanks for posting this question. I've been wondering about this for a while. Donation sent. XDAndroid FTW

A legit donation page is much more trustworthy.
