CDMA Rhodium Elite Team and Unlocker
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, it is not here yet.
Final testing is underway. Should be released this weekend, if not Friday.

Rumor has it that the CDMA Unlocker will be out tomorrow?
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1253169&postcount=356
That was last night. It's supposed to be out today.
I'm on such a thin thread with my temper lately...and I'm so sick and tired of waiting for this unlocker...that I'm thinking of returning my TP2. Sorry, but without the availability to cook for it...it's just another s4!tty phone that needs the kitchen community to fix it.
And before anyone decides to open their mouth and flame, my impatience has nothing to do with the Elite team's efforts. I know their working VERY hard to get this phone unlocked...and they do it for FREE! I personally don't have the patience these days....and I'm sick of getting my hopes up day after day.
Chill Dude!

that "tomorrow" was actually meant for today. we've all heard that it's working perfectly. it's odd that it hasn't been released yet.

No need to apologize, if you are unhappy just return it.
There's no way in hell I will be sending mine back. I got my TP2 for $129 ($199 citigroup deal and successfully double-dipped with the $70 credit for extending my SERO contract for two years). There is also a possibility for the $100 rebate. I will make money on this upgrade when I sell my diamond.
TP2, SERO...You will only take this phone out of my cold, dead hands.

I can understand some of the frustration. I think what he may have been referring to is that people are reposting comments from the team with "promises" of a deadline for releasing the unlocker and that deadline comes and goes.
I have seen these "deadlines" come and go several times and I am to the point that I just ignore them and assume they are inaccurate. Just like the latest deadline of this weekend, I will believe it when I see it.
I am in no way insulting or being negative toward any person so if you decide to take anything I have said that way and flame me, I will politely ignore it.

Wow dude. I got this phone knowing I was going to have to wait a long time before the unlocker would be out. Fortunately for us, this phone works far better in it's stock configuration than the Touch Pro did.
I just check in once a week or so just to see if there's any word. I was pleasantly surprised to see on PPCG last night that the unlocker is coming this weekend. And hey, if it doesn't, no big. My phone works.
What's this unlocking? And is it for the verizon tp2?

The unlocking is to allow us to put a WinMo 6.5 ROM on our Sprint CDMA Touch Pro 2. I am not sure if it is for the verizon TP2 or not.

lmfao.....
So by saying it was supposed to be out tomorrow yesterday... Does that mean that it was supposed to be out today yesterday? I mean, this is just down right confusing.
I am so tired of people crapping on this phone because it only runs 6.1 - with T-Flo does it matter? I guess if you are running the stock today screen, 6.5 will be a huge improvement.
My question as a software tester is, how many apps are going to be backwards compatible with 6.5 on this device. We already have a shortage of WVGA apps that work perfectly on it, so now we want to update the device to something newer with less software available? Just my 2 cents!
It's a virtue..
Patience.
I rarely ever post I'm much more of a lurker. I just want to say that I am very excited to get my Pro2 spl unlocked and try out what's in the kitchen. AND I'm very grateful to the devs that help make our phones pwn, they'll get some of my coin for it fo' shizle.
That said; /hug ebmorgan
It surprises me that people are so impatient for the HSPL.
The stock roms with even minor tweaks and software add-ons is actually really good. (Verizon and Sprint)
Anyone who says 6.5 is a big deal to have it stretching the truth. The only real advantage of the cooked ROMs is having new versions of TF3D and less pre-installed software. Other than that it's not so amazing that it makes the phone so much better from the stock roms.

you're absolutely right. i was amazed at how smooth the stock rom was for the sprint device -- easily the best "out of the box" experience i've ever had.. the custom ROM's are just icing on the cake -- i'm looking forward to having sense ui on my tp2, it's so prettyyyy..
..gives ebmorgan a (((HUG))) and a pat on the head. It'll be okay little guy, don't you worry.

I don't think anyone was questioning if. Its when.
yea, i wasnt ever concerned whether we were going to get the update, but rather the time frame in which we would.
confirmatory tweets are always welcomed though
Looks like it won't be for several months.

Might as well have just said "it'll come out eventually", haha.
Hahahaha
Lets see 1H 2010, ususally the updates run about 2 time periods behind when they say that they will be available... so looking somewhere around 1H2011...
By that time, the development work for 2.1 here in XDA-Developers will already be done and all of us will be looking forward to the next release.
I wonder why the Moment is being held up on the 2.0 release, when it's just vanilla Android. I really didn't think they were going to give us that broad of a timespan though. I figured January would be the latest that we'd have 2.0. So unless Google makes some changes, there's a good chance we won't be using their newest apps for a long time (officially anyway). By the time we get 2.0, Droid will be running 4.5 .
as long as we get 2.1 here first and i can brag about it for a whole before anyone else has it, im happy lol.

But, thanks for the update...I really wanna try some of these apps that need Eclair!
1H 2010? Really? Talk about vague. I may go back to big red for the Passion if we don't see it very soon.
I love Sprint, and my Hero, but let's be real.... almost every Android phone on the market will be LIGHT YEARS ahead of us if it takes more than a couple months at most.
While I agree that it isn't cool to toy around with us...specially since we'll still be behind when the update hits most likely. But still...I don't think that not getting an update warrants hopping the fence haha.
but then again, I cannot even really use that since I "hopped the proverbial fence" after my girlfriend dumped me and haven't looked back...if you get my drift haha

I think it's a perfect reason to hop the fence, show sprint that we want our updates, we can't do anything on 1.5 .. no nav, no goggles, nothing new and exciting, i'm fed up and i would rather start over with a new phone.. than wait for sprint to get off their lazy behinds and feed us something that should have been out already

Or keep your eyes peeled for the 2.0-ish roms we have in the works here, there's a decent chance we'll be fully up and running by the time the other phones get their official update. But by all means, "stick it to the 'man'..." and cancel your service. It's your prerogative. I personally don't see the need. I like my sprint service and I like my sprint hero. /shrug

See, I don't think Sprint will have an update for us until about May (I just have a feeling on this). In light of that, I'm definitely looking at the development on the 2.0/2.1 ROMs in the other threads...those look like they will be ready way before Sprint updates us.

So... who do you think is in the lead now, HTC devs or Sprint? My $ is still on you guys. God only knows how long the testing phase will actually be.
Very cool...

Looks Awsome!!!
That interface looks fantastic. The only thing I wonder though is what are the ROM/RAM/battery overheads. I suspect it'll be a fair drain on at least 2 of the 3.
Still want to try it though.
Having said that, I've got my phone just about how I want it...give or take the odd little tweak here and there
Amazing
I can not wait to get this on my phone. It looks like it runs just fine on his HD2.
Stunning, Can't wait to try it. Lets hope its not too hard on the RAM. And can work well with Sense!
not again!!
Please Julien Schapman do not make promises, we followed him for 1 year and 6 monthe at dimond fourm and gess what Mr Julien stopeed his development, left the fourm, no replay, i believe he left XDA as well!! and all the people that donated at the time got emails over emails over emails about the lunch date and than he wanted to sell the programs to some company and he thought Not, Thats it.
I won't dream or think any of his great job will be out soon, maybe 10years time.
Mr Julien the game is over.
Thanks
Then, do not reply.

let's hope you're wrong...
How come this TouchXperience UI often in "under development" phase during the past few years? I'm waiting for it in the past years and now have no more expectation. BTW, from this "latest" demo, it simply copied the concept from the others, like N1. Do you expect it will have other fantastic and innovative outcome?
It looks too good to be true.. What can I say- I only hope it's not some kind of spoiler...
i saw it but i still can't belive it. oustanding!
Well I've seen some WM7 demos and this looks at least like one too! I don't think this is TouchXperience UI rather then just WM7 but we will wait and see!
I've been in contact with the developer, and I can assure you that this is not Win7, nor is it fake.
As a fellow developer I can understand the time and effort needed for this kind of project, so if he doesn't provide us with a specific release-date, there are good reasons for it. Remember that he is doing this basically for free. Some betatesters have donated, but it's not something that pays the bills, so it has to be limited to his sparetime when not working.
Let's just play it nice, and hope he manages to finish this insanely nice-looking UI.
Let's also try to remember that he doesn't owe us anything. He does this because he wants to, not because he gets paid or was asked nicely..
I'd agree completely yngvebn,
unfortunately XDA lost one of its most valuable devs when schaps left, because he was hounded out by too many fools being very unpleasant towards him..
Unfortunately it's a situation that happens far too often.
I'm also keen to see how well this works, but I'm happy to wait and see when he's ready to release it

the TouchExperience hopefully shouldnt take too long, or else will be forgotten even before its appeared. As it seems things like HTC Sense and UI costumizations wont be possible in WM7. For the demo i am almost more 'excited' with TouchXperience UI than with Windows 7 phone. But lets wait and see...
Schaps has done a huge amount for the community in the past so I will always have a lot of respect for him regardless.
I still have a Schaps ROM on my Hermes and I had a Schaps ROM on my Kaiser until he left the Kaiser forum for greener pastures (he got a new phone)...
If the TouchXperience is ever released it will definitely be worth a good look...
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'.

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
I and some friends registered Tuesday but nothing came in today. Just curious if anyone here got one.
I am so surprised and happy that I got picked by Google to test out there new Chrome laptop. I came home and found it on my front door wating for me from UPS overnight air! Hope I get to keep it after the program is done!

Yes I got an email from them on the 7th telling me about it and a link to go apply for one,so I did the same day and it just showed up on the 10th! I really didn't think I was gonna get one but I did! It's pretty cool.

It's pretty sweet and fast! I think it only has a 1.6 intel cpu in it but it don't need much to run it.

Isn't it true you have to use it so many hours a day / report to google weekly?

I really don't know about that cause it didn't come with any paper work about it or the program and the email didn't say anything like that. I'm guessing i'll get an email from them soon wanting to know what I think about it. I am already doing that on Facebook and Twitter so i'm not worried about it.

Nope, its optional if you want them to collect data or no. good luck to you
i've signed up lets see if any luck here
I registered for one. We will see whether I will get it. It will be complementing my Galaxy Tab now.
I want one too. For anyone who cares, I have found this forum on slickdeals.net, it's pretty interesting, 137 pages so far...
And also a Google CR-48 Tracker to see if there is one coming to a town near you...
I just checked that tracker with my zip code. Two were heading to my town but both were already delivered
I signed up on Thursday so I guess I missed out on the first wave.
Maybe third time's the charm?

Let's hope. I have seriously applied so many times. At max, five separate times under my own name, once under my alias name, and my mother. Let's hope the tracker reflects something tomorrow for my area.
And I know this netbook may be cheap and the specs may suck, but look, I want one of these just to feel like I actually won something (that isn't the lottery) for once. I feel like I deserve it, truly. I could provide decent feedback, and maybe contribute a great way to their developing OS. Plus, I love Google. I love Android, I own a Nexus One, soon to own a Nexus S, and I think that this book would be a nice addition to my Google collection, not to mention, I bet there will be awesome ways to connect between your Android device and the book... I apologize for the rant.

I get what you mean. I NEVER win any contests or anything. I really hope I get this though, and the fact that two people in my zip code got one overnight is pretty reassuring!
I would love to own a Chromebook as I don't have a laptop/netbook/any kind of advanced portable device like a smartphone. It would be really great to have a laptop for classes (I'm in college) but I can't afford it right now so Google could really make my Christmas! Plus I never wanted a full-on slow, annoying Win 7 netbook anyway--it just didn't seem ideal. My ideal portable device is pretty much exactly what the Cr-48 is!
I have high hopes, but I know there's a pretty good chance I won't get it.
