JASJAM, Kyphur, LVSW, TripleDes, WPbear and all the others who have combined efforts to produce an amazing set of files which make our devices what they should be to begin with; Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
I have long surfed these forums and can honestly say I would probably not like my Cingular 8525 nearly as much without all of the useful information and upgrades that all of you have provided.
Like many of you there have been a lot of sleepless nights this last week. I have flashed nearly a 2 dozen times and have finally settled on, Jasjam's WMVI Black Edition, with Radio 1.34. I can't believe how smooth and solid and fast my 8525 is now (Not to mention beautiful). I for one, and I think the community at large, owe you guys all big props and respect.

05 APRIL 2007:
Well, I have been sitting here most of the morning reading all of the chaos and hubbub over Black 2.0 and it's decommissioning, and I realize how torn I am.
I was very lucky that after a few days away from the boards that I happened to come back on Tuesday and was actually able to download Black 2.0 before things got crazy. Of course I immediately installed it. It is quite literally PERFECT in my estimation. It installed quickly and Flawlessly and has been Lightning-Fast and Rock-Solid since then. I didn't think it could get any better than it did when I got Black 1.2. I was so ecstatic! I immediately ran to paypal and pumped $15 into your wife's shoe fund, JasJamming. (Us shoe loving women gotta stick together! Yes there are indeed a few of us women hanging around the techie boys.) I have spent the past 2 days literally bouncing off the walls with joy over my now, nearly, Perfect Cingular 8525.
To my shock when I popped in this morning, just to see how everything was going, I saw the horrible news. Though I honestly don't see why there are so many redundant questions on the board, it's not my place to question it either. I simply enjoy looking and learning from all of the other great minds across the world. True Globalization at its finest. How sad it is that in an age when everyone can literally find out anything if they choose, most prefer to simply sit back and let other people do it for them.
Here is where I am torn. On the one hand I understand the frustration you and the other Chefs must feel, Jasjamming. It must be absolutely infuriating to spend so much hard work and a ton of time doing something you really enjoy doing and offering your work up for FREE public consumption, only to then be treated as though you just unleashed the plague. So I can see why you choose to not continue the public advancement of your Black VI build for the Hermes.
On the other side of the coin however, I have found your work to be truly addicting and amazing and am thoroughly annoyed and frustrated that I will no longer be able to have your input and foundations upon which to build my perfect Phone. Truly heartbreaking indeed.
I do hope that one day things settle back down enough that people can once again use theses forums in the spirit they were intended and fun can continue to reign supreme for those who enjoy modding their phones.
In the end, after venting all of this on my keyboard, I realize that it is of course your right and your decision to pull support for Black VI. But I am sad, and your contributions will be sorely missed. I am not sure of the exchange rate between the US and Australia but I hope my little drop in the bucket does get your wife a cute new pair of shoes and that you can still sneak in a cold one with my thanks.
Thank you.

Thanks for your comments melanie,
its comments like this that make it all worth while; people enjoy the contributions.
Welcome to the community...
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who isn't sleeping lately .
Congrats on your having the patience to read and study before simply diving into the deep end.
I want to say thank you to all our Rom Chefs as well. I just want to run through the streets skipping and singing.
You guys are so awesome. One day we're wondering if we'll have roms at all, the next day we have WM6, the day after that 5 versions....
How sweet it is......
Agree!
Yes, I have been a long time XDA user, started with a Blue Angel, then went to a Wizard and how I have the Hermes. On all of them, without exception, these forums and the Dev's that make them worthwhile have been essential to me in order to get the most from these devices. My latest device, the Hermes, had HORRIBLE battery life out of the box from Cingular, I'm talking less than a day on normal to light use. After upgrading to first Kyphur's WM6 and now LVSW's WM6 and going to 1.34 radio; my battery lasts about as long as my Wizard's did. Thanks fellas, nice work, you all make our devices what they should be.
@kyphur,
Congrats on your soon purchase and I hope all goes well (watchout for last minute changes or details). My heart was hanging until I got the keys, walked out of the lawyer's office, and got in my car. Moving was crazy but not stressfull. Good luck with everything and looking forward to .30.
am on xda live 2.0 now, wanted to try the others but the new xdalive start up screen's so beautiful... haha
Thank you to everyone who has made running Windows Mobile 6 possible. I have been a lurker on here for a while, but just recently signed up.
With all of the great information on here I managed to update my Radio and my OS with no trouble at all.
Thanks again guys.
-Kai
although it may seem boring for other readers, I MUST say, as well, thank you from all my heart, not only for allowing us to uncover the inner beauty of these devices, but as well for the opportunity to spend time with you gyus, by reading the forum and trying all the different combinations, softwares, aso.
Its becoming addictive, and for that, Thank You!

I want to thank you guys also. Your sleepless nights, genuine brilliance and talent are really appreciated by me and I'm sure many many others.
I've got to add my thanks to everyone for the hard work, great forum etc...
And to EVERYONE, if you're getting as much out of this forum as I am how about a small donation - either to the gurus direct or to the xda-dev site. Someone out there is paying for our privelege of a 'free' forum.
Appreciation

I to thank all the rom cooks. I have tried all the wm6 releases currently on black 2.0. It's a same that such talent has to deal with all the drama. Looking forward to the next flash.
@excessdivide
Jas will be back... things have gotten better, and you havent noticed the redundant posts due to some heavy house cleaning that i have been doing.. things are looking better than just a few days ago.. so just sit tight and enjoy the ride!
I'm also new to the forum, found it days after getting my 8525 and it saved me from having to return it. I've been completely fasinated every day with the tweaks and enhancements that continue to roll out. That and the occasional f**kwit floggings delt out keep me comming back for more.
People will plunk down $100 for a Nav prog, $20-50 for any number of simple commercial apps. So dig deep folks into your hearts, if you like this forum and take more from it than you can give (like me, I'm a hardware guy, no programmer), please pop some "buckage" to the Chefs and the Forum. I shot some $$ to JJ for Black2 simply out of respect, this weekend I'll flash to it and if it's as good as I've been reading, I'll be sending what I feel an op system is worth.
I thank all of you for simply taking the time to document what you do, so others like me can share in your world.
shogunmark,
Thank you. I feel I should tell you, it was actually your name that first came up on Google many months ago when I started looking for help with my Cingular 8525. I don't honestly remember the problem which sent me searching but I do remember the advice you posted was dead on and very helpful and had me back up and running in an instant. In essence, you were the one who got me addicted to the crack which is XDA-Developers! LOL!
But again, I do want you and all of the other advanced users to know how much your advice and input is appreciated. If I could, I would donate to all of you guys and fund your efforts completely. Alas, it is not my lot in life to be independently wealthy, so my adoration must suffice.
Many Thanks,
Melanie

Wow, I thought I was the only one! It's good to know other women are interested in modding their phones as well. I have been coming into these forums daily and have really enjoyed reading about all the new updates and tricks and tips. I feel the same way as you about appreciating the rom chefs and other contributors and feel the frustration also of everything else that has been going on here. I can see the housecleaning has been going very well too and that some tempers have settled down and things may be getting back to a more normal environment.
Thanks to all the rom cookers and those that made upgrading much safer and easier.
YAY PhonePhun! I'm not alone! Hahaha! I'm glad to see you around!
I am often teased 'cause I would just as easliy splurge on a pair of Louboutin's as I would an $800 phone!
Anyway, glad to meet ya'!
Cheers!

Funny you should say that since he was also the one who got me to come in here with more interest than I had before that point. For me he had said some really decent stuff on another forum and I wanted to see what more really decent things he had to say here LOL, nice meeting you too! Oh, and I know what you mean by the people around me not understanding why this stuff interests me too.
Below is the link where you can submit a request for this specific phone.
http://www.otterbox.com/contact-us/
If more people will request it, they may actually make one.
Here are some of their cases for HTC phones.
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/
I'm in. They make a great product. Already submited.
request sent
I sent in my request I like there cases but it takes so long for them to make a case that by the time the make one I don't have the phone anymore
I sent a request for ya. I was looking at their cases for some of the other phones, and I think I could see myself picking one up if they did make one for the Slide
Sweet, let's keep em coming pls....
put my request in for one, hopefully sometime soon they'll produce and deliver!
They will, just like the HD2 for T-mo version. Initially they only had the Otter Box for the Euro version. Just takes a lot of request for them to realize that there is a market for it.
I sent them a message too. Generally I refuse to pay more than $10 USD for a cheapo case, but this one looks pretty good. They'll get my money, we'll see how it goes
guess what? just got a reply from them:
Update for Case #134861 - "MyTouch 3g Slide"
Dear Drew,
We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have put in a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have.
Thank you,
Katy
i sent a request
Also requested, keep your fingers crossed
put my vote in

Ha ha, I just wrote them like two minutes ago, hope they come out with one. Otterbox has some quality cases!
[ADMIN]
Can any ADMIN please move this post back to the accessories area?
Thanks in advance.
Requested also =D
Requested, and I received the same reply as others.
Just sent this to them.
I found a link to your website via the XDA-developers forum and had a look at what you've done for other devices. I've previously had the Body Glove products for previous devices I've had but always found that they didn't have a very good fit over time. Since I found the link over at XDA-developer, I've had a chance to see the products you make for the iPhone as well as the regular myTouch. I would love to see a product of yours that would work for the myTouch 3G Slide. If you were to make a product for this phone, I'd be more than thrilled to purchase it as it seems that there's a lot of care taken when your company designs product.
Thanks in advance for considering this request.
Yeah it does take a while for them to decide. People just has to keep requesting for it and hopefully they get enough requests for them to realize that there is a market for it.
Also requested and got the standard return e-mail of not right now but maybe.
Got the standard form letter a couple days ago as well. Hopefully we can get enough cases in there to make them get off their duff before T-mo retires the Slide.
STOP RUSHING ME AND LET ME DO WHAT I NEED TO DO. I have school you know. This is my last full week that I have to see my friends and other things like that, then it's off to exams. If you were on my end, You'd see how busy I am. AND if he had a facebook, I hacked my friend's KIN as well. So guys please stop rushing me. It is starting to make me mad. Ever since I had said something you guys have been up my @ßß. If you wish not to end up in the current state I'm on (which is possibly a brick waiting for a phone to come tomorrow) then I suggest you wait. @johnkussiack, please come in feel free to comment leave your opinions but tell these guys how hard it is to hack a phone successfully. I would hate to see you guys end up with a brick, and I would feel responsible. Let me do what needs to be done. I'll upload screenshots and what I've done, Give me time.
All the best,
Kinuser1
(Tyler Jones)
just upload the guide honestly & let the users choose for themselves weather or not they want a brick. I got a year warranty so I will return it till im blue in the face. What did you expect when you first stated that you found a way into the Kin & made the announcement?
I mean come on Yes We know you had a death in your family and stated that it would take you a week to write a simple guide. The problem I see is this you spoke up first & then you expect people to wait patiently which in all seriousness no offense was a stupid thought in your head because its not going to happen.
All Im waiting for is the guide once thats in place I will choose for myself weather or not I will chance a brick to hack or screw around in my phone. No offense but its the truth. I wouldnt of said anything till I had a guide or the time personally.
Kid, (way older), i'm not playing devil's advocate here.
While it's true that hacking something is complicated, I'm with 4LC4PON3 this time. Being a big thing (or not), you cannot shout it to the winds and then go back to a cave.
Test it, do it, ensure it, then tell.
My app could be released atm, but of course would do crap things, yet i assured that it works even if i press Conn+Disconn 30 times. Ever post without being sure of what you do and what will you do next.
To be truthful with you guys, the screenshot was a fake, EXCEPT THE RECENT BOX AND TIME BOX, I edited those so they shade until you click them. I wanted you guys to lay off me for awhile. But I promise, I did not pull your chain guys, I hate when people do that, trust me, I had the enV touch and someone said they had android on the phone but it was a fake. The guy took a picture from google and pasted on the phone. So I left the facebook group because people were flaming me. Well guys later.

No offence but you sound so...not smart right know. I dont want to make fun of you and then come to find out you have the guide, but just like John said, Test it, do it, ensure it, then tell.

Here i stopped having any interest. As i told ya, post or don't post, but no teasers.
You can do small things, you can asure people that you got access to the phone, you can say that you did but you dont know what to do with it.
But never.... ever!! fake things. Now every post that you text, every image that you upload... will have the "Suspicius fake?" mark above it, even if this time is real.
Also, you were flamed in the group with reasons. You posted in a cocky mood about "recording your face when you see it", and then you say that some pictures were fake. That's flame fuel.
PS: btw, my nick doesnt have any "i" character. It's like the actor, but with "K". Just cause i saw it twice by now.
My problem is this. Like I said I understood you had a death in your family but you have a cocky attitude for one got on my nerves, You Faked the photo which I already had doubts on anyways.
What got me is this you said that you have been having problems with your phone for sometime now even before you started hacking into it. Then all of a sudden your phone doesnt turn on correctly you blamed it on the "So Called Hacks"
Prior to this you made a statement that you didnt want help because you didnt want people "stealing your work"
If you do have access to the phone put up the guide even if you did screw your phone up Ok but you cant claim something then never do it. We are Adults here not children it is our choice weather or not we want to attempt the job or not. There are smart users here that you & we can benefit from to get it done faster.
It doesnt take that long to write a simple guide. Either in my opinion A You are just B.S & trying to make yourself sound important or Your just lazy & cant write a 30 minute Tutorial.
Side Note You stated on Facebook when I got mad you said Do you want me to make a video showing proof?. If you can take time to make a video you can easily make time to write the tutorial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gblaKaQ_2Qc
Watch then leave me be and start getting busy.
Sigh... This last post is an offense to all of us who have a real bricked kin.
It is not bricked like I said, IT IS BROKE
EDIT
I'm actually not sure if it is bricked because it wont turn on

POST THE DAMN GUIDE AND STOP WHINING ABOUT THE STUPID BRICK, IT SEEMS LIKE THE PHONE WAS YOUR TYPING HANDS BECAUSE IT REALLY EFFECTED YOU BEING ABLE TO TYPE THE GUIDE!
Thanks
Wow. some people here need to CALM DOWN. Give the guy a break. If he is in possession of useful information, name calling and what not is not going to help. If he isn't, name calling and what not is not going to help. While I think it would reflect poorly on him if he has been falsely leading people on, I for one take any 'breaking' news here with a grain of salt. I'll believe it when I see the proof, and until then, I'm not going to get all bent out of shape about it.
I'm somewhat hopeful for what JohnKussack's discoveries may hold, and mainly because he has actually been able to demonstrate what he has discovered.
@soninja8 I am going to say this for the last and final time.
STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO. Are you the one who found out? NO!
Let me do what I need to do and shutup
@Marcellus1 thank you for understanding

Im just not understanding why the guide cant be posted thats all. I understand that your busy and all, but you seem to have enough time posting videos of your phone not working and talking about random things...
edit cause im tired of his drama
where do you get it?
Thanks for doing some little thread necromancy, but i think that this dead horse should not be beaten (again).
Well, it does say in the description to this section that praise can go here. I have been looking and haven't found any as of yet. I'm sure there is some somewhere, though.
I'd like to give you some myself.
I've been reading this forum ever since I was with T-mobile and they came out with the MyTouch3G. I've rooted every device since then and I don't plan on stopping now(barring the fact that my wife gets irritated when I do and something doesn't work right). You all here have been a great help to me and I've only had as of now, three posts in the whole forum. I only actually joined in september. Anyway...
Thank you very much for all you do. Ya all make android world a much better place to live in.

Well, thank you
Modest and unassuming as we are, we normally delete praise as soon as it appears. (That's why you don't see much of it)
However, I think it's time for a change in that policy
I won a LinkIt ONE at the last xda:devcon and have been travelling since, so had no time to play around with it. If anyone could make good use of it, let me know in this thread and I'll consider sending it over to you.
Let me know where you live and what you plan to do with it and I'll get in touch.
Interested!
I'm interested! I'm Dutch, so I hope that won't cause too much issues.
I'm 14, and I pretty much like to experiment with things. I have all of the tools at hand, so I would appreciate it if you would send one to me.
I heard it can be programmed with the Arduino toolkit?
Edit: Hrmm... didn't notice the date of upload. Sorry about the bump! (if you are still running this, contact me.)
Edit #2: I like to create a wearable with it. I have been looking for suitable boards, and this seems to look ok.
I would love this! I was planning on buying one to use as my platform for a new type of 3D scanner I've made which I hope to distribute on kickstarter.
At the moment I can't afford it because I've spent my entire budget on other wifi boards.
I'm 26 years old and I've been programming and hacking since primary school. I made a iPhone lockscreen simulator that was posted on here before the 1st iPhone came out (based on the CES keynotes).
I plan to share the schematics and code on here when the kickstarter has been launched.
Sorry, I hadn't looked at the thread in a while.
A good friend of mine asked me if he could have a look at it and play around with it for some time. I'll let you know if the board gets available again and post it to you in that case.
Thanks a lot for your interest!
