Updating ROM without losing data? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hello esteemed chefs!! and everyone else too I was wondering if anyones given this a look. Seems like its going to be workable very soon. Would be great to have this going for the hermes too especially with all the great new roms coming out every now and then.

Interesting

A classic thread... to appreciate how far our artemis has gone... :)

hey guys! found this thread in another topic... just thought those of us who aren't too busy enjoying our new B&B v4 may enjoy reading this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290039&highlight=crossbow+on+artemis
just thought that looking back... all some of us ever really hoped for was a possibility of having crossbow running on our artemis...
but now, look what we've got!!!! a ROM that exceeds all expectations!!!
all our heartfelt thanks, tom codon, and pof, and all the artemis geniuses and everybody else who continously make all these things possible!!!!
I gotta say we have come a long way, funny post, especially since I dont see any of these guys around any more LOL
oh yes, that's true... i don't see these guys anymore either...
they probably have lost all hope and gave up. too bad for them. hehe...
Never gave up hope

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.

Its been a while, how is everyone?

Hey all, MAJOR league busy at uni since the last time i was on here.
How is everyone?
Not too bad, just got back myself. How have you been?
Pleased to see the two of you back in active participation... Looking forward to new Guides and Roms...
Things are good - we are mostly in user support / maintenance mode around here. Still some good cooking going on, but the ROMs are so stable it is more like xda-support instead of xda-developers these days.
Good to see you. I have pointed people to your guides so pften recently, I should just make a signature that says it.
Glad to see you are back, I pointed lots of newbies to your guides...
Good to hear from U! Yes we are mostly in support mode around here lately. I point more noobs to your guides than any other. Keep us posted...
welcome back Mrvanx, Your guides help us alot
That's funny good too see you too back as well, I just got back since like aug. Guess its that time of year for us to come back, maybe its the cold winter.

Hey sanmiauz, It's seniors' talk why are you here... hehehehe
welcome back Mrvanx... and thanx for your great guide
I will add my voice to the welcomes on here and also to thank you for a fantastic job on your guides. Have helped me and others over time although they probably need updating in some areas.
On a different note, what courses are you doing at Uni? York is a great part of the world, especially in the summer. Some legendary ghost walks round there and some half decent pubs (ooh yess).
All the best.

i'm a nub, but this forum totally rocks =). i like the people here and i luv all the cooked ROM's. hermes is STILL an awesome phone even after the tilt came out. the 3MP camera on the tilt still doesn't look as good as standalone cameras and you can get a bluetooth GPS antenna for the hermes and it'll STILL be as good as the tilt!!! =).
i really hope HTC implements some of either ATI or NVidia's stuff. i'd love to play some 3D games or somn =).
Like many others, I too have directed others to your excellent guide. After all, that was how I learnt to upgrade my phone. Hope you would continue to update you guide. For example, Vista upgrade is much easier now that WMDC6.1 is out.
How about an updated guide vanx? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344151
You are welcome again. After all that warm words, can we start with a new great step toward improving Hermes telephony: plz have a look at this amazing dialer

Glad to see the old crowd returning. I think we missed your inputs and advice.
How's things yourself?

Thanks Guys!

I'm just about to make the transition from my Dash to my new phone soon. Just wanted to take a minute as a break from SIM unlocking, keyboard layouts, and $5.99 hack questions to say "thanks" to all the guys in the Excalibur forum who helped make my Dash the best smartphone I've ever had.
Through the ROMs, scripts, tips, and tricks offered here, I had a smooth ride with my Dash. Thanks to everyone who worked on the phone and offered mutual help to regulars as well as relatively patient help to newbies. Great group here overall!
Thanks man for writing that,
Also, what phone are you going to move to?
TAKE ME WITH YOU FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
i mean take it easy man =)

He is moving on to the G1 forum and as well as i will be.
Your welcome Beartard
Although, i will be seeing you there soon
Oh nice since you guys are moving there, is it possible for me to become moderator here in the excalibur forum.
yeah a big thanks to everyone. graduated from the first day t-mobile came out with the dash with windows 5, to 6 to 6.1 courtesy of everyone here. be moving over to the G1 on the 22nd.
thanks again for everyones hard work!
Haha dang so many people are moving to the G1
my Excal has served me well for quite a while. Longer than any other phone has. In fact, I will probably keep it with me during the first few months, as I am sure there will be problems with the G1 of some sort or another. I am in agreement with the others, thank you ALL for everything you do to keep these Excal's going

The Exca will be missed by many...
Maybe ya'll should just change the name of this forum so you don't all have to leave. Sounds like almost everyone here has ordered, or is going to order, the g1. This place will be dead if all of you leave that have said you are. So when's the funeral? two weeks? Who's gonna be staying? I think Stylez is about the only one. Maybe we should pitch in and get him a new phone as well.
If NRG would have built the new rom I would have stayed
J/K, If the new one comes I will definitely be back for some rom love

jasongwatts & ROM

Hello everyone!
(I having an relly good rom for the SM-T520. However I can't post to the Development area because I just made an account. I think people would like this rom a lot.)
However,
I saw that the user jasongwatts has a rom too for it. So, since I can't post there jasongwatts I wanted to ask you if you would consider joining hands with me and making possibly a team and combining our roms together to make an epic rom. :victory::victory::victory: What do you think? Good idea or not? I can give u my current one if you like to see how it is.
Oh by the way, is there any other dev that would want to work with me for developing roms for the SM-T520?

Hey! I'm ik4evr2. (Previously known as ik4evr until I had account issues). I originally did start the SM-T520 rom thing but because of really bad account issues that happened twice I quit. But i've taken many precautions now & would love to collaborate with you to make a rom! I'm ready like right now if you are. :good:
EDIT: By the way I saw that you were inviting jasongwatts. I'm cooling with making a team and working together. I think we all together could come up with a great rom.

Hey ik4evr2. I think it would be great for you to join our team! I just got in touch with jasongwatts and he says he would like to work together too. How about we start collaborating and see what we can get done?
Well after a great chat ik4evr2 & I have complied something that I think we can release now! Together we call ourselfs Team Freeze. Sized at 711mb we think you're going to love this new rom! :good:
Give us a bit and we will post it up. Well ik4evr will as I can't because I haven't had 10 posts. Almost there

Yup! Great to be back and with a new person by my side I can guarantee you all will love this. :highfive:
We have added things like aroma installer (thanks to sh0cksquatch) and much more.
Woohoo! So glad to see you guys getting together and working on ROM's for this tablet. I come from a xoom that has been kept alive thanks to the devs running 4.4.2. I was hesitant on getting it due to the lack of people working on the 10.1.
