I hope you brick your new device and back soon here =]
hahah only jocking!
good luck in your new adventures!
btw what new device?

Did you jump on the bandwagon and get an Iphone? lol only joking. Well I like thank you for your hard work you put into your recipes. Also wish you the best with your new toy!

I'll prob be bashed but um the Sidekick 3 but remember im 15 i dont need windows on my phone to crash on me while i got my emails from myspace lol my aim email works great on ym sidekick alogn with aim and my personal Tmail
and I can't brick this no way of hacking it only to throw themes on it...ill buy a few new things since well i dont pay my bill lol

Well, good luck on what you do. And hope you figure out how to hack the crap outta the SK3. LOL.

So you are leaving Windows Mobile...
I admit I cannot imagine to do that myself. I liked my old "dumb" mobile phone Nokia 6230 a lot (with Opera Mini and a mail client it was very good device I used for almost two years), but having MDA Vario I could not imagine to go back. The only disadvantage for me is that it is bigger, but otherwise I am still amazed from having a small computer by me all the time...
If I was given iPhone for free, I would not change. No way back for me. Never again without a Windows Mobile phone (I am not paid by Microsoft, even if it sounds like that ).
Anyway, good luck.
Mirek

sorry to see you go. I'm another 15 year old and like that there are others my age on this forum. good luck with that sidekick. what are you going to do with the MDA?

Cross fingers everybody!

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

Please stop deceiving us

Sorry for the bad title of my thread
I recently joined to this great forum hoping you'll solve my problem
I just bought that damn O2 xda mini S mobile (for me and my social situation a very expensive mobile) with about 12 months of my total monthly salary
I thought that I've already entered a world of new technology!!!!
I don't know what is wi fi for? and don't want to know
I don't know what is the radio version update for what? and also doesn't intended for that function?
all I wanted is to read some books , apply few calendars , perform some tasks , and that's all
I was shocked with a damn hanged device.
an incoming call with hanging , a SMS hangs my device.
and you still talking about great device with GPRS and a great wi-fi?
what is that where is the functionality of this stupid device as a moooooooooobile?
I tried many OSystems and no improvements
Not the manufacture's one , Not any of that forum ?
My question is . Is this a true mobile?
I don't think so.
Sorry for my bad english
Is this a question? Then yes.
ok im just going to say you shouldnt check this post for a couple days because other users are going to flame the hell out of you.
Now, there are things that we here at xda-developers have done to our phone to make them work very fast and become very reliable. I suggest that you look at some other posts and try to figure things out.
There will be a picture of your phone and then there will be different sub-forums, please just look.
You could at least type "what is wi-fi" into google, it'll will tell you the answer in less then a second.
But getting back to your post, im running Wm6 on my HTC Wizard, and it's incredibly fast and reliable.
so what are you trying to get across that you don't like your phone? And what do you mean about deceiving us.. who are we( this thread) deceiving. You posted this in the Wizard Mobile 6 part of the forum but you don't mention anything about WM6? so I dont understand what your trying to get at except that your unhappy with your device which I'm sry for but this site has done nothing but wonders for me and i thank everyone for helping out esp with my questions that are sometimes dumb.
You've already entered a world of new technology,then.
hehe, this is going to be fun
hhahaha
I'll give you 50 bucks for it! Send me your email address and I will paypal it to you.

Is this a Joke, Are you for real. You must me very dumb or just like to waste you life away!!!
I do not have any problems with my phone!!! Do you know why i dont? cus i took the time to research about my phone and read what can be done to it to make it so much better. Yes when i first got the phone with the T-mobile rom, i was abit let down, but that is cus the rom was badly made. But i am now running WM6 and it is running faster then i have ever had it, and i built it myself use a kitchen, so it is how i want it not some company.
Can i just say that the phone goes for about £200, I could have got you a Good PDA for less that will "read some books , apply few calendars , perform some tasks". And that you dont know what WIFI is and dont want to know, just says alot about you!!! I would just sell it to someone that knows What to do, and go back to using call boxes, (thats if you could work that out)
Please stop deceiving us????? It sounds like to me you are deceiving yourself to think that you have a brain!!!
Maybe this guy needs a palm tx or something, that has wifi and he can read his discovery books on it and use that great palm syncing software.....

It must be a joke. You buy a 12 months pay PocketPc and you don't even know what it does ? How old are you ? Why do you need "such an expensive" tool ?
One more question : How much did your Wizard cost ? I am just curious.
One more thing ... Why did you post this thread and What's it's purpouse ?
A. It's a complaint ? To who ?
Or
B. You're just getting bored, so you said ... "Hmm...why don't I post this and see how many fools waste their time writing "Wtf is wrong with you" messages ?"
C. You were ... just furious about your 12 months pay investment so you began thinking it's time to find somebody to blame.
I mean, C'mon man...I would understand that if you had tons of money ..and you didn't gave a sh** about what/where/how much you spend ... but still...
My favorite foods are probably Mexican and Chinese. What?? That wasn't what we were talking about? Sorry.

I will answer your questions . I hope your all questions
First answer I'm 44 years old
2nd I bought that device to help me in my job as i'm a doctor and have many
references , cases , calendars , and my patients' tasks, etc.
by the way the OS now in my device is your Xplore 1.1
In our country the mean monthly income is about 80$ (not me of course)
and this device costs me about 440 $
3rd question yes this device turns me mad as I surprised with it hanged and lost my incoming calls and sms
I tried everything I could and later I entered this forum may be I found an
answer to my problems
It doesn't matter to me if Wi-Fi , GPRS are excellent or not as these are not
of my importance
at all I thought I finished carrying my lab-top everywhere and replaced it with
a mini laptop with but unfortunately I finally carry a hanged device
I have one question to all of you
How many time you soft reset your device/day ?
Me at least 10 times a day.
Hope I answered your questions.
Thanks to all posts
0 times a day.
And you're a "doctor"?
Oh christ.
Most of your problems come from junk 3rd party software....

Thanks...

(Mods - feel free to delete in a few days )
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.

It`s the device that made the superb kitchen possible and solved us endless bugs...
It should of been sold as chef mattk`s device not like just another wizard.
Thank You for your contribution, i am amazed how much work you did.
YOU did bring us closer, because you shared everything you made this forum so much better.
Thank You again!
My next phone is the Athena.

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
Man,
Now I have to get a Hermes.
Anyways thanks for all the great input and help. But please do stop by once in a while to check up on things.

I followed this forum with interest and tried hundreds of ROM and applications
Is a great forum !
but now i am changing technology ad going to Iphone.
Only few days has passed since i bought the new 3gs and what i can say is :
" i could i live without an iphone before?"
Fluidty,speed , friendly usage, simplictiy , applications , this phone is far ahead any windows device i have ever used .

Kmobs just tweeted this: "So.... looks like I don't have a mytouch 4g anymore... ups says delivered... and there is nothing at my door. Fml"
No - I wish I could say I'm joking - but I'm not...
I wonder what the impact on us getting CM is going to be...
Kmobs already had a MT4G, so i am not really sure what UPS was delivering
He just posted an update, "Guys the mytouch I have now I bought full price and am going to remorse. Got it early to work on for you. the other was cheap and is gone."
Yeah, I'm a bit confused as well.

I bought a full price mytouch to work on (and then remorse) as my cheap one came from my friend. The cheap one was supposed to be delivered today but nothing came to my door. I have to return the mytouch I currently have in my possession to T-Mobile.
I'm going to contact UPS tomorrow.
I'd be willing to make a donation to help replace it - I don't have a lot but if it would help?
Thank you for the offer, but I really don't want to accept money. I plan on moving on when the Nexus S comes out so I do not feel it would be fair.
Looks like I'll be sending this phone back tomorrow. Seems this phone is not gonna get to much love from the devs.

This is exactly the kind of crap that's bringing these forums down. A handful of devs make stuff for a phone, and thousands of people follow. Nobody is willing to do anything for themselves anymore. So you're going to return your phone(which is a fantastic phone by the way), because somebody isn't going to make themes and there won't be a bajillion different roms available?
I first started with xda back in the day when I had my t-mobile SDA. I got ahold of an mda with a then unreleased WM6 rom from a microsoft mvp and I uploaded it to xda. I made a few windows mobile roms for myself and shared them in the forums. And I modified some apk's in the nexus one forums. I don't just 'know' how to do this stuff. I learned it because I wanted to. I didn't wait for somebody to give me what I want. I did it for myself, and then I shared.
This is how it used to be at xda. Now it's just 'gimme gimme gimme'.

I first started with xda back in the day when I had my t-mobile SDA. I got ahold of an mda with a then unreleased WM6 rom from a microsoft mvp and I uploaded it to xda. I made a few windows mobile roms for myself and shared them in the forums. And I modified some apk's in the nexus one forums. I don't just 'know' how to do this stuff. I learned it because I wanted to. I didn't wait for somebody to give me what I want. I did it for myself, and then I shared.
This is how it used to be at xda. Now it's just 'gimme gimme gimme'.

Know what's funny? The fact you're pissed because I made a decision for myself! I don't have the time to learn how to do all of this or else maybe I would attempt to contribute.

It's not even that for me, it's more that daunting feeling that something newer and better will come out shortly and I might regret not having waited. I'm not saying the Nexus S will be better, but it's intriguing enough that part of me thinks I should at least give it a try. No harm in comparing right? That's how I decided between the G2 and MT4G and boy am I glad I didn't settle for the G2. I realize how unsustainable and dissatisfying this attitude is since there will always be something "bigger and better" right around the corner, just can't help it

I'm not at all pissed. I'm sad. I'm sad that a forum that was once full of people willing to contribute is now full of people that are 'too busy'. Last week, I worked just under 50 hours, painted my kitchen, replaced the counter-tops, installed a new sink, faucet, and garbage disposal, painted the cabinets, pulled the motor from my motorcycle, cleaned the gutters, raked and mowed my lawn(last time for the season), picked up my 3 girls every day(like I do every day), made dinner every night(wife doesn't get home til after 6)....and guess what? I STILL found time to pull apart rosie.apk and started modifying xml's because people are getting excited now that the mytouch is rooted and I wanted to contribute.
You are NOT too busy. I can assure you of that.
Well, for me, I'm gonna tough it out...

Ya I hear you there. I get like that sometimes. But mainly because I just like gadgets. I bought the nexus one while I was watching their press release. I pressed the refresh button in my browser until the order page went live.
I too got the g2 when it came out, while it was a great device, I found that I didn't need the keyboard, and the added thickness that comes with it. So I traded it in for the mytouch.
The problem with these devices is that they're not THAT different from each other. They all have this or that little feature, but it's all the same underlying hardware. 1ghz cpu, bunch of ram, hd recording...blah blah blah. It gets old after a while. If my company didn't take over my phone contract and pay for my upgrade, I would have gladly kept my nexus one. To this day, it's still my favorite phone. It's just so damn solid.
The mytouch is similar in form, but without all the metal of the nexus, it's just not the same. Anyways, I forgot the point I was trying to make, but we have to tell my girls this all the time "you get what you get, and you don't get upset". You picked that device for a reason, now ride that ***** 'til the wheels fall off!
just my 2 cents i personally feel if cyanogen isnt handling the rom for the phone it never seems to get done the right way look at the vibrant i still think devs will make roms for it no disrespect to anyone..

I'm thinking of starting to mod this device, just not sure where to start looking for information. I've never messed with it much before, it's been years since I've done any programming and I've pretty much forgotten everything. But, I'm always willing to learn new things
Kmobs had a working CM6 besides camera and a couple of other features on his MT4G... it should all get sorted out and we will get CM6. Instead of complaining and resorting to another phone because it was out earlier and has CM6 already... Why not actually contribute by helping trying to work and mod the phone you picked and for that reason.

Looks like I'll be sending this phone back tomorrow. Seems this phone is not gonna get to much love from the devs.

Returning a phone because one dev hasn't done anything with it yet in the barely-two weeks its been out? Seems a little extreme, lol
