It would be weekend here... and I should find some other site to spend time
Any chance we get a new theme (Board Style) to go with the upgrade :wink:
Yes, anything but phpBB. I am willing to help with the forum script, pretty familiar with all of them if you need asistance.
Yay, finally vBuillentin is coming!
(it is vB, right? though IPB2 aint bad either)
Hi Guys,
Yes it's vBulletin and we haven't made any major changes
Thanks for all the support we get!
Greetz,
Flar
Really great news.
I really appreciate what U guys&girls are doing here.
Hope the change will go easily.
aghhh im fed up with server migration. Ive just had to change servers at work and ive had to restore over 30 accounts and its been a right ordeal! At least new server is lightening fast though.
If you guys would have said then you could have come on to my server!
Yay.
Been there, done that.
Well, GL with the migration. :shock: See you on the other side.
take it were on the otherside now, looks fresh
Server migration successful...THANKS
The newest version of the XDA forums looks great, but even more importantly...it's fast & adds some cool features.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated! I cannot think of ANY forum migration in recent memory, handled so efficiently. Well done.
Aye good job guys. Looks good.
new look!
nice one flar!
<<jojo>>
nice one! new site looks great! fast too!!!
hopefully we don't get those pesky double emails now...

Let's just all hope it all works with wm2k5 for our magicians, so we can rest in peace
Hi!
I just sent a pm to Buzz and asked him to release the rom. Now we have to wait for his answer. So I will cross my fingers too, maybe we will be able to install WM2005 today! I can´t wait any longer.
Guys, I don't think there's any need to PM buzz.
I'm sure he's had more than one PM saying "I'll help you test it". You know the guy works as fast as super-humanly possible, so let him get on with it and don't make him respond to PMs.
some news would be nice tho! Can't say I ever thought we'd see the day, but there's no reason why it shouldn't be available, given the recent leaks...
All appendages duly crossed in anticipation...
V
no news yet
Oh man, i won´t be buzz - I think he gets a ton of mails like send me the wm2k5...
@buzz
By the ways, what means no news yet?
NO NEWS YET means that unfortunately the guy is not giving us any further information. That meaning he's not able or he does not want to tell us anything else on this subject.
That 'YET' at the end of the sentence makes me look forward to reading a reply from him in the near future. Whether positive or not I don't know.
I couldn't translate it any better !
(considering that English is not my mother-tongue )
guys.. after all those roms are illegal as you know those thing appear and from nowhere and nobody should know where it came from
just wait a few hours,days,weeks and it will be on your favorite ftp server
This will hopefully be the place to be ....
1) Go to http://buzzdev.net
2) Login (IMPORTANT)
3) Click on Downloads » Magician » ROMs » Windows Mobile 2005
... or if you're already a member, simply go here and press F5 as fast as you can ...
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=83&Itemid=32
Nothing there yet...
...and still nothing... (((
Buzz can u tell us what's the main problem? u don't have the rom yet or there are some problems with it?
Please relax everybody, Buzz has kids, a beautiful wife that let him work on the BA2005 rom at night . So give him time on removing keys etc from the original rom dump so that it wont be the last leaked rom that we get.....
Well afaik the guy who got the wm5 rom and buzz made a deal, buzz send another guy to get the rom coz the owner of the rom has a crappy internet connection and had a serious injury. and it looks like they both live in different countries so it will take some time to get the rom finally in his hands. so we all now wait for further news about it. its exciting tho waiting like this :lol: good luck to u all.
::adit
I believe buzz has been working on blueangel's wm5 last week, and i'm really impressed with the work done by buzz. He actually the hero of BA WM5, so I believe buzz will help you guys at his best as well.
That's all I wanna say
Thanks for the BA WM5 (buzz, rudra, mamaich, and all other people who are involved)

And in near future (by God will only) we will say:
Thanks for the Magician WM5 (buzz, raport, "the anonymous who travel to raptor to get the rom").
Plz all of u relax and don't push on the hero "buzz" and raptor (pray for sake of his illness) they do their best. few days ago, all of us were having no hope ragrding wm5 on our magician, now they gave us some light of hope. So, we must thank them and waith them to make this hope a realistic thing. They are volunteers and we don't pay them for that work, and they have all of the tools of the play. So, please don't scratch their sensitive skin. I am sure that they will not delay one minute intentionally more than the actual time required for the work, they have enough idea about how we eager and in great need for this rom. If u cannot wait silent under that great excitement, so, may u post some encouraging words only, or ask a reasonable questions for raport, but as buzz told in the locked thread, those who does not beleieve that the rom is present, please return to ur ordinary work, and when it become realistic, we will invite u to take it peacefully.
A last question for raptor, is the magician of the person who gave u the rom, was 64 memory or uograded to 128. Thanks a lot.
I really wish I could ask what the status is, but I'm scared that I'll be misinterpreted as unpatient/ungrateful/sceptic, when in actual fact I'm not!
Oh dear! Not enough that Buzz has enough to do in working om WM5 roms (with great experience and sucsess). His homepage crashed today. So not only cross fingers for our WM5 rom. Let`s cross our fingers that Buzz soon will bring up his great homepage again. So don`t worry Buzz, everything will go fine soon 8) .
Thanx for your great work

Sure is ! ..... and we are all virtual....
Yes, it is true, read the annoucement on top of the threads.
This means, no more hosting for the ROMs (released ones of ones created by us) this is a BIG loss as it's always a pain in the neck to great any ROM and will push ROM creation into the illegal zone
I will make my prophet ROMs available somewhere else, details will follow later.
ps.
yes i'm back, hopefully with a new ROM soon, I had to deal with a lot of personal crap, but i'm back again.
hi Jesterz,
welcome back! We missed you!
ASERG has release a nice Aku 3.3 Rom. Maybe you two can come toghether a release a PERFECT one

Yeah wellcome back This is good news...
As for "Microsoft's choice".... hope they burn in hell lol well in my perspective they're just trying to finish off those dedicate persons like Jesterz that are working hard to correct Microsoft's software defects...
Hopefully we can all learn from this as I think M$ just reacted to Carrier induced pressure due to lots and lots of customer complaints of bricked devices due to failure to understand ROM upgrade procedures... So please if you are reading this and don't have a clue of how upgrade procedures work, either, don't complain and deal with your bricked device (in a worst case scenario) or don't upgrade at all.
It's a shame
These guys from Redmond shoul learn to respect the work of theyr customers.
We make it possible that they get theyr monthly payment.
I hope we find a way to share our roms and tools any other way.
Any ideas yet?
I'll pray for us.
Sky
Yeah.. it's pretty retarded... The only bloody reason I bought an HTC device is cause I knew I could flash the rom for newer AKUs and fixes and stuff... I should've just waited for the damn iPhone.. lol....
http://www.petitiononline.com/xdadevs/petition.html
What the panic is all about?
I don't get it why you all surrender to this Redmond threats.
Usenets have been around for decades. I am a regular user of Usenets from '95 and I can tell you that their strong arm didn't and probably won't reach there.
Why not simply post your valuable stuff there and leave our cherrished forum clean of any files whatsoever?
Just post to alt.binaries.warez.pocketpc and by the way the kind of stuff we find there is really lacking the quality we got here so the newsgroup might just improve that way.
What do you think?
It's so sad to see how MS is dealing with this situation. I have owned PPC's for some time know, and not until I started having problems first with my universal and recently with my prophet that I got into this community. This web site is the best thing that has happened to MS and HTC. I have singed Jester's petition to MS. I know that if this happens I shall go to PALM o iPhone. THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is sad indeed...
At least the good news is that you're back... so welcome back Jesterz
History teaches us nothing.
It is not by taking the ROM archive dowm that MS can stop ROMs from going around!
Why don't they simply try to release ROMs that WOULD NOT require any interventions from the final user instead.
Looks like the "prohibitionism" has taught these guys nothing at all.
i suggest we can use http://www.mydatabus.com host to share our roms. (up to 5 G space pro person and stable).
Rapidshare, megaupload, uploading...etc are not good solutions for us to download and exchange file. Because it will be deleted in limited times.

type "RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe" in google...
We demand our freedom
I came into this forum a couple of weeks back with a bricked prophet G4 & a O2 XDA Exec(UK). Since then not only i have been able to restore my prophet ,I have been able to learn a lot abt PPC as a whole. Its a shame that M$ feels thereatened by this forum as we have done nothing wrong except to give people choice!!! Isn't it our right to choose & develop??? Who's MS to stop us?? Where were they whan I was running from pillar to post to get my bricked prophet running....

I just got my new TyTn today, so I started browsing the Hermes forum and grabbed a base OS to start playing with. I wasn't overly pleased with what i was seeing. Pride and ego seem to be the prevailant theme, and I hope it never infects this group.
It reminded me that I want to thank everyone for being excellent contributers. I've found nearly everyone curtious and very helpful . On a scale of 1 to 10, I rank this forum as a 9+. I can't say the same for others
I'll still maintain the Kitchen thread, though I'll have to rely on input for the OS improvements since I won't have any hardware to flash. Hopefully it's nearly done. If there's a big issue, feel free to PM me if an needed.
*sigh* Is a faster phone worth it? Damn, I hope so...
Are you keeping your wizard? I did and tradee off every day.
Already have a buyer - gotta offset the cost of the new toy
Hey Matt, thanks for all of your hard work on the ROMS and kitchens and good luck with the new phone.

Regarding the Hermes forum...i think that as long as you don't ask any questions at all, and know a little bit of this and that...it could be pretty funny...in a sick sadistic way
Considering you own a hermes now...maybe you want to take a look at my Hermes kitchen and suggest a few changes .. considering i don't have one...and some people reported errors...some didn't so i wouldn't know what's wrong or how to improve it.

YOU did bring us closer, because you shared everything you made this forum so much better.
Thank You again!

It is the Core kitchen adapted for the Hermes...a little step more advanced.
The latest is the Artemis Core Kitchen..which is the more advanced(couple of bug fixed and some remakes)...and i will have to make one that will work for all (well..not all but most....you know what i mean).
BTW...you're lucky ...i want a hermes too
Have fun with your new toy
i flashed a hermes for a buddy yesteday and must say the process was alot longer but not all that difficult. there are some nice roms out for the hermes, but i agree that forums there are almost worse than what they were here last year when some of the wizard chefs were leaving
Ditto on thanks for all your hard work and patience with people. I also have a Hermes so will see you on the other side...
I agree, it's WAS bit more of a process. BUT - I already have it to where there's LESS steps to cook and flash a Hermes than the way the bepe based kitchens do And it's only my first few hours playing
Congrats on the new phone, matt. Sorry to lose a good cook.. Thanks for all the help... Still see you around though as I browse all forums to see all the gadgets here...
Hey Matt, thank you for all the hard work and personal time you spent to bring good ROM's and kitchens here. I have been using Pandora v3.2 since 6/22 and haven't had a need need or much of a desire to flash another ROM.
Enjoy your new toy.
Sorry to see you go...
Congratulations on the new Hermes. Thanks for all you have done to this part of the forum. Good luck cooking for those lucky Hermes people who now have a great person with them!
Hey Matt....sorry to see you go also
I switch to at&t a month a go and I've been using my Blackjack. I didn't think I was gonna like it but its working out really well. WM5 , Quick and reliable though .
My next device is that Kaiser...I initially wanted the Tytn but decided to wait.
I'm selling my device cuz I'm a flash junky.
Thanks for the ROMz and hard work.
You've been great to deal with .... see ya around the forum.
Thanks Matt

I will provide the following:
20GB BW
2GB Storage
subdomain (youoryourapp.andyappz.com)
mailbox (setup through gmail)
You can host a domain if you have one, but we prefer to use subs. This will be open to all Devs apps or other wise, there will be a for to sign up on the site eventually, but for now its by PM/email only.if interested please hit me up, I want to do my part to help this awesome OS, and since my java skills are not so much (lol) i decided to do this. You can reach me via PM or email [email protected]. Please provide me with an email address and IM preferably AIM or MSN if available and Ill get you setup with subdomain, ftp, and email.
That's a kind offer!

thanks, ill check that out.
which server should i go to? US or Europe?
I would also be willing to give up some webspace for the cause. i run my own website http://www.xionic.org, let me know if its needed. 2gb of space is available as I host only a few kb on there at the moment
Xionic
updated my website with a splash page
i have an FTP that could be used for devs. i would love to upload the firmwares here and host them, but im not sure on how happy Verizon (fios) would be with heavy traffic. If i can help, let me know. (currently i have over a A LOT of space avail.)
Yeah, I made a similar offer a few months ago (free section in my forum with full mod permissions and some ftp space) but not a lot of ppl seem to need/want it. I guess its more work for them when they can just post here. Jesusfreke took advantage of it but he rarely uses the forum, mostly the ftp (which is all good, anything I can do to help the cause).
I would be willing to take one of you up on the generous offers, but I need a 95% uptime guarantee....
Not trying to rip you off or milk you till you bleed, but I am in the progress of writing an app(after I finish and test out the scripts) and will need a little ftp storage....
I was a happy camper until haykuro borked my G1 tonight... lmao - I cried I was laughing so hard...
Apparently he Broke a Pipe in my init.rc....
Well, if any of you guys are willing, hit me up on Gtalk, Gmail or my twitter...

I should have everyone setup in the next day or so.
Im interested! I just sent you an email. Like others have said you are probably the third person I am taking up on this offer, I hope it sticks and I can find some valuable use for it. For the most part I post threads here, pics on photobucket.com and files at 4shared.com so an FTP wont be a huge time saver but I would like to consolidate all of my work into 1 spot and maybe create a blog too.
everyone that has contacted me so far is setup, you will have recieved your login info either by email or PM keep it coming people i have plenty of free space to give away

I've created a new high performance hosting site for WinMo and Android custom roms. It is still however in beta but I expect that it will be finalised before the end of June
The servers (Yes I mean that in plural ) that are being used are located in Dublin, Ireland (My hometown) so as to ensure brilliant speeds for both the US and EU. This service is of course free however there are certain rules that must be followed to preserve the integrity of the site. For example, I will not be allowing full scale discussion like here on XDA to make it easier for people to navigate ROMs.
In any case, when you host a ROM on my infrastructure you get both regular HTTP download and bittorrent download as a backup so your ROMs will always be available. No more rapidshare! Devs get unlimited space for their ROMs and those with more than five distinct ROMs get their own subforum to release their ROMs on. Again, I would like to stress that the primary aim of this site will not be ROM development as is XDA or MoDaCo but it's aim is to be sooner or later the comprehensive database for custom ROMs on both Android and Windows Mobile.
In any case, the site's URL is http://www.smartroms.com I hope you do find it useful, if you encounter any bugs or the like please send me a pm and I will look into it

Can you let me know if the registration page redirects you correctly? I noticed a few times that it kept hanging on redirecting during testing but it disappeared after I made a few seemingly irrelevant code changes.
Anyways, give me feedback!
It redirected me fine. The only tiny thing I'd say is that once you register and you are redirected to the login page, instead of your username being pre-filled, it puts your email address in.
Some less 'savvy' people might stumble on that and wonder why they can't log in.
As I say it's no biggy but you know what some users are like

No bother. It might be a PHPbb thing. I used to run a PHPbb board many moons ago. They have changed a bit since then. lol

Thank you for providing a fast platform
Nece one, will check out soon. Thanks!
Sounds great, Roms with *****ing
Moved as not ROM Dev.
B.t.w already a hosting solution http://www.xdaroms.com/
Appreciate the offer and contribution.
Yup! A central place for finding ROMs should be brilliant.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

that's really bad... for a hosting site
I've been working all night migrating the server to vBulletin instead of the phpbb system it is now. That's why it's slowing down from time to time. I thought it would be safer to work through the night as less people would be accessing the site but I suppose I thought wrong
In any case the site is hosted across multiple servers for performance and redundancy reasons so when the site is finalised there should never be any speed issues.
