Retirement from the forum

Hey guys - after a crisis of conscience i have retired from the forum.
I have taken the roms with me but no doubt you will find them elsewhere.
Thanks to all those that supported me but i now believe rom hacking is not strictly legitimate and i do not wish to have my name associated with them for personal and career reasons.

?????
I don't know why you're doing this, but I want you to know that yours ROMS are very beatiful and powerful and I'm sure you have very good reasons to do this.
Thanks again for your work.
Good luck and hope to see you again elsewhere!
Bye

Thats a shame... cause you've been doing a great job and been helping us a lot with not only your nice roms... but also with your knowledge and help!!
But I respect your decision and I wish you all the best with the future!!
Cheers

Shame best ROMs around and still going! if all ROM writers do what you are going, then no point to this BRILL WEB SITE, then we left with just a normal PDA phone. Iphone maybe now lol

That 's too bad to hear. Who hired you? Microsoft, HTC?
Anyway... a huge THANKS from me and I wish you the best. Nice to be here with us.
CU arround (...I hope).

Sad to see someone of your stature leave the forums but i wish you a happy and healthy departure and hope you continue pass down your knowledge to others .

I don't want hear that bro,Unbelievable,
any way thanks for ur hard work.
take care bye!
hear you from soon

Sad to hear, you've done a brilliant job on these forums with your ROMS. Will you stay on the forums and offer advice still?

A Big Thanks For All

I want to help/contibute. But how?

Hey everyone.
I've been coming here for a while now. And all I seem to do is congratulate developers on their work and leech ROMs/freeware.
I DONT WANT TO DO THIS!
I want to help/contribute to the site. But don't know how. I know I can donate, but when you don't have a job and need every penny that comes your way, what can you do?
I've thought of cooking ROMs, but don't know where to start.
The only other thing I can think of is offering my services beta testing.
Any idea on what I can do to help all you AMAZING developers become even more amazing?
Add me on MSN.
Lets get something going!

One worthwhile way to help/contribute is by helping newbies -- at least pointing them towards the answer...and that means doing more than just saying "SEARCH!"
Think you're just a newbie yourself? There's always somebody who knows less than you. (See what the Administrator says in the Announcements in Rule #10 )

I know what you mean. There's always articles or guides that could be updated or created on the XDA wiki. Otherwise like MCbrian said just answering questions so the pros can stay on task is always good.

WP7 on HD2

We all have seen the videos with hd2 running windows mobile 7. If this is true then i just can say well done. But will it be available to public? Probably not because we have had the image to our disposal so far?
Who cares if it not running 100% or 80%. The android community showed us that the users try unfinished builds (as Desire HD) despite of the port state, so why not with wm7? Who cares if i brick my phone (its my own fault)?
Not that i don't hope one day i can try it on my hd2...
Is this open or closed community? why the developers are doing all this if they don't like to share at the early stage? what about donations for some developers here in forum? why they cannot use their influence to get us a build?
Or is it just about greedy Chinese?

Please refer to this thread, which should answer all of your questions. Also, please try to be more culturally sensitive. How would you feel if someone wrote about your nationality asking if it is all about being greedy?

well ok i apologize if i offended the whole nation my thoughts were more oriented to few individuals.
the discussion in other thread is pretty much vague. sorry
what i don't understand that if you as developer work on some "open" project (despite of the fact that this can be one man project at the end) why so much mystery etc.? why do not include other people too?

To summarize the thread, there is at present no ROM from China that can be flashed. Some of the files being offered for download are just old emulator files. So far, we do not know how the phone in the video was configured, and attempts to get more information from those who recorded the video failed. There is speculation that it is one of the HD2s that was used as a testbed for the early development of WP7
Some of the guys on xda.cn have promised to keep us updated on any news about the development of a flashable ROM.
It is strange to me that when Cotulla posts a video of an HD2 booting up WP7 no one makes accusations that he is not sharing, but jump at the chance to do that when they see a video from China.
The best thing to do is just wait patiently for everyone who is working hard on porting WP7 to the HD2.
Starting threads speculating why China is not sharing information, or logging onto XDA.cn and blindly copy files without understanding they are not flashable files, only causes confusion, and even some resentment when xda.cn guys see some of the nonsense being posted on XDA-Developers.
As I suggested in the other thread, just cooling down, and waiting is all we can do. That holds true whether we are waiting for what Cotulla comes up with, or what our Chinese friends on xda.cn can come up with.

well i did it now when i wrote about "developers" and in other thread but the people talk about him as God so there is not much discussion possible (same as discussion with a priest about religion). some of those people do great work but on the other side they are just geeks. that much mystery on every single development is really childish.
we live today on open minded and connected world so i don't understand some stuff going in the minds of those individuals.
but tnx for the info. was very helpful. either way: i am already collecting money for a new htc device because i don't have any other choice (except to forget the wm7)

Progress of Android porting to S8500/S8530

Lets work together.
We have 4.01.2011 and I see no evidence nor progress nor real infos nor start...
Lets make some rules for this Thread.
1.
We want facts NO fiction. For discuss and dreaming use this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894990
2.
What should be post here:
- infos of progress... Example.
""Today I was able to boot Android instead bada on my S8500""
Minimum post then Pictures here or Video on youtube for instance as evidence
Perfect would be. Alpha/Beta status stuff for trying self... if possible for ALL users.
Best Regards

I think..
This post has multiloader in it..

This post has all of the needed resources http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895125

I think the only way we are going to see and android port is if we start a bounty for the first person to do it, i mean other wise its not worth the monstrous effort it will take.

im agree with you!

Example what I mean... progress and description...
Here S8000:

Now we should do this for S8500 too.

i want android on my wave 8530,very plz

Nah, I have android on Archos 101 - it sucks. I didn't find anything interesting for me in Android and it seems that bada is more stable than google's piece of linux.

bada is not bad, I thinks it's quite good. Ok, there aren't so much apps than for Android or Symbian - but they will come with the time.

bla bla bla , again new/old boring conversation about nothing

I cant find the site!
Some months ago i found a community site calle WaweDroid, there were trying a port, and of course i dreamed to buy and high end device for cheap and using my favorite os like with htc hd2, but now i cant even find the site anymore and there are no updetas about that.
Do someone any idea/news of that?

hello now wavedroid project is hosted in androidport.net
we (well , the guys that are working on the port im just a memeber ) would be glad if you join us!
cheers!

yes it is.
with serious people working on it
cheers!

Why is it still in Maintenance mode, Tonilo??
I thought it was only gonna take it 3 days...but it's been like 5 days since then.

i dont know...
have you tried the new web?
http://www.androidport.net/
if you cant see it or whatever tell me!
cheers!

While I do believe that serious people are working on the project (& keeping my fingers crossed too!), the site's owner fails to provide regular updates about anything happening. Actually there is no news on any progress on the site.
I am a member too but I need regular updates about any progress on the port.

Its because the site owner has done nothing but come across as a tool. They should appoint a developer to be in charge of keeping the community in the know

i think the same, and im not agree for asking money for nothing.
im quite dissapointed with the administrators.
i hope that they will stop to asking money or i will resign as moderator there

they have listened to mea nd it seems they will act with common sense...

Sounds like the more serious members on the wavedroid team are making progress.
Adfree, you should work with them on the boot loader, it will help you get a better understanding of the encryption that the stock one uses.
"hey guys this is what i heard from sachin
sachin is allready working on the kernel files of the galaxy s i9000 to make it ready for boot
ndt is busy with the bootloader with trix
i am busy with ida pro advanced 5.7 (get it)..."

Its time to say Good-bye

Hello my Friends,
The time has really come to say Good Bye to all my Wonder Friends. I enjoyed and had a good time with all of you by learning/porting stuff.
I8150 is really a nice phone, but I needed to shift from this phone due to some reason.
Long story short, I spent half of my life in coding, leading teams of software engineers, managing enterprise level ERPs and architecting enterprise level application in all the latest and old languages/technologies. I took out some time and did some porting stuff, but my main target was to develop CM7 from sources.
I have most experience in Java/J2EE and less in C++. I tried to take help from different peoples but my bad luck no one guided me due to lack of time or just for no reason.
Not only from our forum I tried to contacted Exihibit II , Galaxy S Plus but I didn't get positive response, whatever the reason is but no one guide me. I searched myself and read a lot of material on net but not a single guide is perfect. There is no problem with Linux setup, I am use to of it.
I believe in Opensource and helping each other by spreading/sharing knowledge but in my case I couldn't search a person like this.
So I decided to switch (just not for CM7) to a device that have a lot of custom roms.
The porting I did is an asset for all of you. I want the guys should come up and take over the Roms from me. I hope you enjoyed my custom roms. If there is anyone who has some programming experience with smali/backsmali, apktool, understanding rom folders, hands on on merging /diff, ready to take risk of bricking then I will be happy to transfer my knowledge, but due to my tough schedule the person should be expert and self starter.
And finally I would like to special thank @arco, @andyroid, @irishpancake and All my Wonder community members.
Thank You All

i wish i had enough knowledge cuz i really wantd to learn from you but im just a noob at these stufff
but i hope u have a better experience with your new device

I Hate You For This...Really ...With a Poke.... So What is That New Device of Yours ?

wow. wow. I was shocked for a while. what a sad news. how could it be? but thanks, so many thanks for your effort and big contribution in our little community, for porting good rom, for sharing knowledge and many help you did to us, thanks to make our wonder phone more attractive with the rom but yeah, sometime you must move to a larger box while you don't fit anymore in a small one. thanks again alidsd

Hi Ali dsd,
Please stick around as there's no one place or person to obtain this building -information in a reliable and complete form that we're looking for. I too got burnt similarly and still am in process of setting my own build environment based whatever that seemed to work for me from my captures from various blogs, forums and sites.
It's from open minded contributors like you that, when collectively packaged, would effective stuff come and came from. While I respectfully disagree this to be a reason for departure which is quite an expected risk with any open source stuff, I think your presence and continued contribution would benefit others looking to go along your route, though your participation might be less active than earlier.

Don't worry @andyroid, I am not going from XDA, I will be around , I will be checking W forums ( I haven't deleted it from my Fav ) time to time.
Amazingly my new device is not a high end device, Its just Nexus S. I think you will ask why ????
It will save my time . ... How ???? Mostly all types of Rom flavors are there, I just need to flash and use it, and the time I save from here can put on getting some certifications (like PMP, J2EE Architect and MCPD ). Its my decision and it doesn't mean that Nexus S is superior then Galaxy W.
Believe me or not but Galaxy W is an amazing device based on hardware it uses and the small size is very pocket friendly.

I am always here, i can be reached on PM or email.
I have already said that anyone who have some knowledge in porting can contact me , i will happily transfer my knowledge, because sharing knowledge is the major path to increase knowledge and community, but the person should have some experience.
I want someone to continue MIUIv4 and AOKP, or if someone come-up with their own porting version of any Rom then please ask Mod to delete my two threads.
I really appreciate all of your feelings.
Thanks,
AliDSD

Thanks for your great contribution ali, really appreciate it
Nexus s is a great device to fiddle with I'm pretty sure you'll find lots of stuff to learn there

HI alidsd, I understand you, cause I have your same motivation on developing. I studied information tecnology, so I have some knowledgies, but I'm new with android and I'm trying to do somenthing with my rom. I have your main target, build cm7 from source, but as u said there isn't a guide that really help in this, and for me is difficult to begin with it.
So now I have begininng to first port some mods to a gb rom, then to learn how to create a kernel and to port a complete rom. After these steps I like to begin cm7 from source, but I know is really hard.
I also have to say that it is demotivating to see there aren't much developers for our phone, that we haven't ICS from Samsung and at this time we haven't a complete ICS rom, while there is a new android version so probably i never work on cm7, too old...and for this, i was thinking it was better if I took a nexus s....however i can't change phone for now, so i continue to study and develop for my W...but in future the only phone i'll buy should be a nexus or a phone with more contribute from community...
Goodbye Ali and good luck with your new phone

Friend alidsd :crying:
I am so sad to see you are moving on....I know it will be for the better for you and your career!!!!!
Thank you for mentioning me in your OP, I really appreciate it.....
[I have been missing recently, due to that health issue....but things are OK, and will hopefully stay that way....God willing]
The old community loses another member with such skills, first qzem, KP, now you!!!! [apologies to any others left out, no offence!!]
All the best for the future, and do drop by whenever you get time, it was really good!!!!
Cheers man :good: :good:

yo alidsd,,
well i guess this is not a goodbye coz you're still gonna be around here:].,but still have to say thanks for all your great works by porting some wonderful ROMs..Wonder's forum still open for your advice anytime you have,,
happy porting buddy..
regards,
kidd

i was motivated by your words Alisd, i really was serious and dreamed to learn more about android, i wanted to try what bagux was doing but i ain't got enough time for it. i was amazed and never imagined that a person whose managing software engineers also tried tweaking our W XD i'm just a beginner software engineer about 6months old on work and specialized in VB and for some reasons i can say i also am at Cobol, i was still trying to learn now despite of the schedule i have and i am starting it on making android apps for now and maybe tweaking in the future. can i ask what company are you working?

UPDATE
UPDATE​
I got rid of Nexus S and bought HTC Desire S. Most of you will be wondering Why ???, a lot of reasons. if anyone have interest to know then he can PM me.
I would suggest guys not to go for Nexus S now, its not a good time, it could be debatable but its my personal opinion. All of the Roms that are available for NS are also available for DS.
At last Galaxy W is a good phone, so please stick with it till you find a better phone according to your needs.
Because I have been part of this community so I thought that I should update my community.
Thanks,

I am glad to read opinions about me, you are all wonderful people.
@irishpancake, I am really concerned about your health , please take care, and update your health status so our community can pray for you. God bless on you.
I am happy to see that Alex (from Galaxy S+) has ported MIUIv4 successfully , and I hope he will also port AOKP and other CM9 based Roms from S+ to W.
Its great, I believe :
Every threat comes with opportunity.​
