Its a christmas time! - Desire General

All i want for xmas is new rom!

Umm, why not choose one then? No real need for this to be in Development. Try putting this in General next time.
If you're looking for stability go for something like CyanogenMOD 6.1, LeeDroid or Oxygen 1.0.4. If you want something a bit more experimental, but extremely cool go for Oxygen v2. It's based on Gingerbread.

Simc13, you've been 2 years here, but still you've opened a thread like this in development?
Pick a rom, install, then you're good to go.

while i agree with the above, people can be this harsh at xmas????

It's not harsh, this is the internet
Just because winterfest is upon us, it does not we should forget about the forum rules.

Sorry for my stupidity. i just drink some wiskey!
marry christmas to everyone!

Grow up MrBadgerMilk! He's just trying to be jolly...
Yea he may have posted in the wrong section but to be honest it's the forum 'nazis' like you that waste more posts!
Go back to your perfect life..and happy Christmas.

For the record I'm usually the most laid back person in the world, but it just seems to be getting out of hand on here recently, that's all.
Let's just live and let live
Merry Xmas y'all!

hello im simc3 and i wanted to be a funny person but i failed

Post moved to General as this is where it should be.
Like it or not, the rules are here for a reason, just because it's Christmas doesn't mean the rules go out the window.
On a lighter note, to those that don't like Christmas... Bah humbug to you. To the rest.. Merry Christmas, follow the rules, and have a great New Year

lol merry christmas

Black 4.0 shadow to use "official" hermes Rom

Hi guys,
JJ has hinted that the next incarnation of black.. will be based on the official hermes rom. Whether it has been leaked to him by htc or however he got it, am looking forward to it.
I guess that leaking the rom to him will allow him to beta test the rc release to find out if there are any outstanding issues. A wise move by htc IMHO, ensuring that the true final release will be nice and stable and tested....
Looking forward to it in anticipation
any hints when it will be available 4.0 black shadow
Who's JJ?
Is he a member here at XDA?
I'm antiipating the release of this ROM as well...There are so many different ones floating around now I'm not sure which one I want to stick with...

I am just a nobody bro, but I hope your being sarcastic. JJ is
freaking awesome and I am pretty confident countless others share this opinion. I'm sure your probably joking though, I just think that talented people should be respected especially if they contribute freely so who cares where they go or what they do. Just my opinion.
then what is his site ?? care to share?
I'm sorry,
I should'nt have said that.
I feel like such a idiot.
I mean, It takes a real childish panzy, to bad mouth someone just because they decided to take their work to www.4winmobile.com

Um, so? Were your feelings hurt or something? Do you take your browsing experience here to another level by adding emotion? I don't know about anyone besides myself, but the guy's made countless contributions to this community with his ROM's, and I applaud him and thank him for taking HIS time to do so.
Doesn't news travel fast from here !
I think we may be looking at a tad bit of sarcasm here folks, seeing as Berdinkerdickle is fairly active over at Black's new home.
Either that or he is a childish panzy.......
Another spam thread of a crappy black rom and the dumb chef who thought XDA was too dumb for him and too many low class chefs so he went to the ELITE forum where he rules as the Moderator We don't need his stinking ROM, There are far better rom's and far better chefs then that guy here on XDA who don't look down on the users and gets pissy at every poster.
But is it nessecarilly a good thing our cooks use an official ROM?
I mean often the official ROM hasn't all the functionality that a beta or developers ROM has. And the current 'beta's" are so stabile, I can't imagine an official ROM is that more stabile or faster.
I guess we don't know it till we have one...

Another useless crybaby post...
Calm down ladies.... its like handbags at dawn here. The reason he left was that the black rom had outgrown here in xda.. His one post thread that he was allowed was 1000 posts strong, which is to unwieldy for anyone to manage. At the other site he has got a whole sub forum to himself, which is really what is needed to manage a rom that is as popular as his...
you need to be able to seperate the bug reports from the "thanks dude" posts and the "how do I update to this rom" posts. I am sure that lv will have the same problem when they release their new rom...
Until xda becomes a bit more flexble, all the decent chefs are going to get frustrated and move on.
I for one would love to have a single site to visit, however it is not that hard to visit both, as they both have different strong points.
BTW any idea when the new LV rom will be out?

Congratulations, half of your 130 posts are about bad mouthing me and boycotting 4WM who has does nothing to you.
Just stick to your other roms and you will be fine.......
Gee, there still seems to be some ****WITS floating around.
And yes, the ROM i have is the official, with the official kernel and its stable, fast, all the LATEST OEM APPS, but I guess its ****e as DAFTEK, aka ****WIT has put it......
I am confused by the motives of people who post purely to bad mouth people.
Ok - so JJ decided to support his rom elsewhere, so what? How does that hurt XDA or any of its members? Its not like it actually stops anyone from getting it, or getting support?
Oh and its free! It's not like anyone has signed up to a contract...

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?

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

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

[Q] Is there a pre-rooted Stock 2.2 ROM I can install?

My wife is going to be using my phone for awhile since I am buying an Epic 4G to test it out. I may flash back on the EVO and I want to maintain ROOT, but she wants to try the stock Sprint/HTC 2.2 experience.
I know you can't root a 2.2 device, but is there a pre-rooted 2.2 stock rom available I could install?
I have been searching but I cannot seem to find one, so I apologize if this has been posted somewhere.
Thank you in advance!

Me and my 64 posts are going to say that, first of all, this should be posted in Q&A (but of course that won't do any good, just felt like telling someone) and secondly... How hard did you look for a pre-rooted stock 2.2 ROM? Must not of been very hard, to be honest. I just went back two pages in this thread and found it.

you and your 64 posts need to go get a snack and come back with some constructive input. why is it that when someone doesnt find something, that instantly they are a retard or an idiot that some douchebag cant hold back his OR her own retarded mouth? its people like yourself that takes away from the greatness of this forum. go find a forum that has a lot of pond scum in it so you will feel right at home along with all the rest of the bottom feeders.
not only were you just flaming someone to puff up your piddley self esteem while munching on potato chips and soda, but you said you found the link to his question and didnt put it in your post to help the person out. so, you are simply a flamer....which type of flamer is yet to be determined.

No, I wasn't eating potato chips or drinking soda at the time lol. And I wasn't "flaming" someone to puff up my self esteem. And I do believe I did give some constructive input when I mentioned to post the question on the Q&A board. Isn't that worth points? Again, no my mouth isn't retarded. That makes no sense. I didn't think the person was a retard or an idiot. Just saying that he didn't try very hard to look for what he was looking for.
If you look closely at what you're typing, you're flaming away at me. So it seems you're taking the role as the flamer now. You're whole rant just doesn't make sense

Good work. Tired of these people. Look for the Rom that is HTC stock rooted.
You did the right thing by telling him to post in the right section. Also did the right thing by not posting a link and saying "couple pages back".
Order! Because the mods can't catch everything.

Tim - sorry for the poor responses to an obvious serious question. Let's just move on from the bashing of telling you to post somewhere else, etc.
Two things:
1) If your wife's phone is on 2.1 then you can use either of these 2.2 OTA ROMs to get to 2.2 Stock
Rooted 2.2 Stock HTC ODEXED - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352
Rooted 2.2 Stock HTC DEODEXED - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743781
2) IF your wife's phone already has the 2.2 Update then there's no way (currently) to get 2.2 Rooted
Hope that helps.

XDA School/Message to staff and Students

Remember how in High School or College you would have to DO YOUR RESEARCH to find your information before turning it in to your teacher or professor?...So far in the past 12 months this XDA School Research Skill and Overall GPA has dropped. In this SGSII class of the school, we are bringing our GPA up, and now we are on a level thats "considered passing". I was a new student in this class about 2 weeks ago and everyone made me feel like I was at home, but the rest of the school im not to sure about. XDA school was the one everyone went to about everything Android. Now since the teachers and students are slowly turning in degrees, we are loosing a lot of our students and teachers to other schools. We cannot let this happen because this is where it all started. We have to start gaining the quality of our school back, our prestige is dropping.
So lets get started...
Instead of teachers having to spend extra time assisting students, students should learn to RESEARCH and Experiment on their own time. Teachers only volunteer at this school. No paychecks, pensions, workman's compensation, just breaks and retiremen. Teachers should help students more and explain things more in a detailed fashion. XDA School is changing so we have to change with it. Dont fight it, go with the flow and make it work for everyone. There has to be a line to draw in the middle, where students can help one another, troubleshoot, and have fun with the teachers. Im a teacher myself and comming up with lesson plans that will hold everyone in the class over until I write a new one is not easy. Sleep is lost, donations are good, but overall not good enough to deal with the stress in our personal lives because we all go through it. Competition is always present but thats no excuse for teachers to critique other teachers. We may not be together in reality but we are a community, so lets act like it.
:-D

The worse part about it is, the quality of the issues people report in threads. Most of the time they are "non issue issues" Meaning its not a bug in the ROM just a problem that they are having.
They will post their problem and hope for someone to get a fix for them and get upset when people flame them. The people who can fix the problem have no right to flame either. Fighting fire with fire has become way to common here. The people dont say things like "I looked online in such and such place but i dont understand what its telling me, or this method is outdated any updates on it", nothing like that, that shows they were putting fourth an effort in the first place. It was such a joy for me to research and learn because it led me to create ROMs and themes. I felt a lot better when I figured out how to fix my own problems and it made me a better Rooted android user.
I think te problem is "free stuff" attracts those type of people. Google has done a great thing with the open source stuff. I wish there was a system in place that encouraged organized companies to produce ROMs, granite that means those roms would be pay only and the current system doesn't work with it. You can choose to stick with the stock touchwiz rom OR you could pay to run aosp made by company X or you could download a free rom made by thursday. How much has this community donated to various devs in "hopes" they dev something good?
Android has blown up recently and people like to customize their phone. Old days of only tech geeks using roms are gone. People need answers fed to them. If they paid money for a rom they should be entitled to those answers given to them.
Agreed..

if you want money just have sammy start a thread for you
I was here from the start with the G1, granted out was a few months after the release, buy nonetheless I did my own research asked questions when I was TRULY stuck and solved my own problems by searching the threads/forums. People come in here (XDA) and "flame" one another for asking a question and folks that come in here creating threads and posts REPEATEDLY about the same topic. It honestly needs to be stopped and monitored more closely because all it does is clutter threads and makes it difficult for those trying to do it on their own.

I haven't been here as long as most but since I joined when I purchased my evo it went from thank you to gimme gimme. Not to mention the flame fests,including entire threads filled with pics about the ensuing flame fest. Infractions should start being issued a lot more frequently and even to the point of issuing them to the members who post nothing questions over and over again and get in a tiff when they don't get an answer for "why is my phone crashing after I didn't wipe from cm7 to sense"anyways just wish it would go back to respect and appreciation.

as ridiculous as it seems, Maybe their should be an entire thread dedicated to a Roms "Issues" - I know creating another thread means another one to view, but jesus think about how many times a market error question could be answered by the title of a thread there and the amount of pages it would save on any given rom. I know this is literally bending to the will of noobs who won't research, but if you can't teach them, at least try to confine them

Its an inside joke (a good one too) based on the amount of bounty threads he does and how quick he is to start them.
Reading this thread bummed me out. I'm somewhat new to all of this, and in the last couple of months have learned an INSANE amount about the android OS and how to make it "mine". I would have never been able to do so without the much appreciated help of all the knowledgeable people here on XDA. Yes, I agree, there are a crazy amount of duplicate posts, and pricks, and mindless idiots who for some reason have no issue posting a bash on a hard working dev for no apparent reason (f#& k those morons). Here is my question. What do you think of someone like me, who asks questions when he is stuck, and probably will continue to do so whenever he is hopelessly stuck, but always shows appreciation for valuable help received? There seem to be plenty of people here who enjoy helping noobs like me. I've helped a few, and it felt pretty good.

[Q] Where are the custom ROMs???

I was so beyond elated when I got my Galaxy Note 8 (N5110) last night... couldn't want to flash this puppy and ROM it with some Cyanogen loveliness; but to my incredible surprise, I can't find any custom ROMs that don't have the Touch Wiz crap on it. WTH? This tablet was highly rated and I know it's not abscure so I'm wondering why there's so little development on this little wonderous machine. Ideas? Links that I've missed? Winning lottery numbers? All are welcome.
instead of asking what are others plan on doibg for your tablet wouldn't it be morw productive to ask and learn how to do it yourself?
it seems rather rude to ask for someone else to donate their free time with no compensation.

There's already a few threads like this, so not sure there's a point to another one. Either way, there is CivX custom rom and kernel, but yes it's based on stock TW. Emwno is working on a cm10.1 port too, and beanstown was supposed to develop a custom rom but that has now been delayed. Hopefully he will do it though at some point in the future. Aside from that not many devs seem to have the device which is a shame because the Note 8 rocks.
nothing more annoying on XDA then someone complaining about the lack of free software...quick whining, and learn how to do it yourself, so you can spend endless hours of YOUR personal life creating something that people can post complaints about, request things that you dont put in the rom, and just generally expect you to spend all of your free time upgrading, and improving for them every time they want something..
I agree with you it does rock. Just xame from a Lenovo A2109 where there was a LARGE dev community but no support for Mac users. Thought for sure there would be a crap load of devs here given the Samsung brand and its answer to the iPad mini. Personally, I think its much getter then the mini even though I'm a Mac girl... note: not an Apple fangirl... just a best in class user.
Anyway, thanks for telling me what to look for and which developers to keep and eye out for. Its painful to read post after post and subsequently page after page trying to find answers to my questions. I do appreciate it.

First and foremost, this post wasn't about *****ing... it was asking a question and expressing puzzlement. Second of all, I asked no one to DO anything or develop anything for "my device". You added nothing useful or enlightening so who's the one *****ing now? Hint: it's not me!

For every ROM that has worked for me, I have donated monetarily. For one device, I actually BOUGHT a unit for development. I've been on this board for several years and have never asked for anything except answers to my questions.
Second of all, I'm a web designer/developer who donates LOTS of time to those who don't know or ask for help. I don't ask for compensation; I ask for them to carry the info forward. It seems rather rude for you to assume and judge rather then ask.

"puzzlement"? what are you puzzled about?
You've been a member here for SIX years; you know where the dev section is in this thread; the roms that are there are what we have at this point..
dont try to "veil" your complaint about so "little development" by saying you weren't complaining, just "asking a question"
We lose enough fantastic developers here when people start threads like this, so please don't encourage the few folks that are dev'ing for this device to leave as well..
end of discussion
Gentlemen please stop making personal attacks.
I am sure she knows where is the place to find a custom rom although she doesn't mean this.
So if there is nothing constructive to add in this thread then just don't post.
Thank you.

maybe I just misread your enthusiasm for the new tablet as cracking the whip on those hard working guys who do what thwy do and ask for norhing back. so If I mistook you excitement as a demand then I apologize.
the gnote 10.1 took a good while to get some dev work on it. for a good while all we had was root, which really wasn't bad at all. It's still not as active as say the s4 or gn2 development, but it still looks like qualiry work. I'd suppose it wouldn't be too hard to port a rom over, but then again what do I know, I ain't no dev.

I was under the impression you have to keep a lot of the Touch Wiz to keep the pen enabled. Otherwise it's just a generic 8" android tablet.
Thank you... I appreciate that; very much.

I was very pleased that rooting was so easy. I had to unlock the bootloader in the HTC was a flippin' pain in the arse so I was THRILLED to learn we didn't have to do that on the Samsung. So, clearly I'm very glad to have root... and have deleted a lot of the Samsung crapware as I'm sure most of us have as well. Though I do have to ask... what is a "gnote"? I had a GTab once which was actually the Viewsonic GTablet. However, I've never heard of the GNote...
I'm not a software/hardware dev either... just web... and so wish I had time to learn. I'd be all over it like a gnat on poop!

Isn't the Touch Wiz on regular non-Note Samsung devices? For example the Galaxy II & III phones? Though I am just guessing as this is my first Samsung Android device.
*smile* Thank you. However, I am a she.

yep, pretty much all samsung devices, except for the nexuses and the s4 developer ed have touch wiz. the big downside of using cm or aokp is that you'll lose pressure sensitivity with your pen (or at least that's how it was a few months ago and i haven't really check up on it).
I think its fine the way it is....
