Radio ROM 1651406

Solo RADIO
ROM e RADIO
i'dont have the kaiser. sorry
edit= Links eliminated
For the reasons read the following post

Why are you releasing my ROM in a different file with "TEST" at the end? This pretends that it's an official HTC release or something.
You even copied the extra space that I mistakenly put in my Thread in my protocol version (25.81 .40.02H) instead of (25.81.40.02H). And, my updates and startup logo are in the ROM.
This I do not like very much...

AllTheWay and myself have had the radios on our 4shared sites since they came out. Sounds like he might have got it from the place we don't speak of.

thats one of the problems with Xda these days anything you put up is subject to people stealing and calling there own. Start taking out some rgu files so people can't recook what you make. I have stopped posting my roms here period its a nother sad day around here...

Thi has to be a joke. I cant imagine whats in the head of these guys who steals stuff, repost it and claim its their stuff. Thats insane.

I wonder if he didn't just get it from PPCW and post it here. Maybe he is not claiming it as his is what I am saying. Maybe thought he was just providing a service to everyone here by posting. HELL, I don't know, maybe he is reposting as his. Who knows.

Maybe yes, but it has the same name as NoThrills rom.

I accidentally found these links
I have posted them here even if I do not have interest because I have the trinity.
What is the problem?
Copyright?
I have made here for the good of the community.
Thank you for your kindness.

I just found it odd that someone would try this just after NoThrills released it. This proves to me he/she had good intentions. No harm no foul in my book.

If you're not to blame, you're not to blame. Could you tell me where you got this links though?
The main problem I have right now is that there have been over 1500+ downloads of my ROM, over 30,000 thread views, people are very pleased with it (generally speaking), and I have only seen 7 donations so far.
Out of which, 5 people are Germans! And then people still say that Germans aren't kind Furthermore there is one English person and one Greek person who have donated.
Seriously though, the donations are not important. However, it does bother me when I see my ROM, which I intentionally left 'open' for other cooks to look at, used as basis for other ROMs, or distributed on Hong Kong BBS's, Dutch usenet groups, Arabian websites, and those people are not sent here for information/help/thankyou's/donations, so I know that more people are enjoying it.
I don't mind people using this ROM as a base ROM. I left this ROM 'open' for a reason. I'm not here to make money. Just give credit where credit is due, that's all.
I don't want to cripple my ROMs so you can't easily re-cook them anymore, but I see it might be a neccesity.

i absolutely agree. he didnt make a big bragging post about it. it seemed that he really put it here, just in case it would be of use to us. as he said, "i dont have a kaiser" at the bottom of his post. he seemed sincere about the fact he was just trying to help. dont kill the guy

It is on the PPCW site.
Edit:
Nicely put kwill. ****, he probably didn't even know who cooked it so that he might give them credit. No-one has been harmed that I can see.
@NoThrills
Most are lurkers and not helpers/givers. Did you really expect to recieve a slew of donations? Most around here take take take and never give.
Edit 2:
Now that is crap in my book. The man just copied the links over from PPCW, hell yes I looked to verify it so sue me, and he gets abused for trying to help out. This forum has turned to ****.

No, like I said, the donations are not important. A thank-you post is enough, but with all these 'custom' releases, people are not being redirected to XDA-Developers.
There's a reason I put a password on the file and only put the password on this board
But I do find it puzzling to see that over 900 WWE downloads, only 2 people donated, and for a 'lousy' 200 GER downloads, 5 people donated. Germans are cool in my book

I understand but the links he provided were from PPCW which is where over half of the stock roms come from around here. How the hell was he supposed to know who cooked it, if the link actually pointed to a cooked rom and not a stock rom, and everyone jumped all over him and all he was doing was trying to give back.
EDit:
please dont think i am jumping on you NoThrills. My rant has not been pointed at you at all. I just cant believe we demonized the guy and he was trying to give back.

Let's call it the nature of the beast. There has been a lot of BS going on in this forum now a days, and some of us are reactionary because of this. That's why we're all human guys we make mistakes now and then, I'm sure the OP understands this, we're all just trying to protect an original piece of work and give credit where credit is due. Sh*t Happens.

Ok, I'm confused.
NoThrills releases the same rom on PPCW with the radio and all named the same. Then, someone comes along, trying to be nice and give back and we jump them. Then NoThrills gets upset because no credit has been given and the donations don't add up like he/she wants. If the credit or the donations is what NoThrills was after then why not post on XDA only instead of posting to XDA and PPCW? Makes no sense to me. Please someone clarify for me.

Excuse me? I never have even *been* to PPCW! Why on earth would I post my ROM there? I love discovering stuff that sparks my interest. That is why I have visited XDA-Developers for years now. NoThrills is my alter ego because I need a disguise if I release these ROMs. I do *not* condone any way of piracy, hell, I have licenses for every single piece of software on my computer, mediacenter, laptop, etc.
I do not care for the donations. It's fun to get, true, but I am also very amazed at the size of some donations. $1/€1 is plenty, while some people (yes, I'm looking at you Germans and Greeks) are sending me amounts of €20,- or more. I did not expect that.
But back to the issue, because there is too much focus on the donations, which are not important here!
The point that got me 'upset' is that people are distributing these files everywhere, modified and all.
Why do you think the password is "i got this file from xda-developers.com" ?
Why do you think my compressed .exe says "Go to xda-developers.com for the password"?
Because I want people to come to this community. I want people to contribute to this community. I want people's minds sparked just like this forum has sparked mine. Don't you think that if it was all about the donations, I wouldn't have 'protected' my ROM for cooking?

Our Little World

i know this is not the place for this, i dont even know why am i doing this, but i felt the need to say it: as imperfect as it is, with all our noobs, experienced users, rom cooking just for the fun of it, donations (hell, smb was willing to donate even a whole kaiser!!), advices for free, fun all around, helpful persons willing to help just because we share a common passion...
... all these mean so much to me and in my eyes they are a lot more beautiful than the world we see everyday.
dont know exactly why i had to say this, but please go on and keep it as such. also, thanks to all of you for putting your little brick at the foundation of a beautiful building!
as smb was saying in another post, love is in the air... maybe its the spring...

Although it's a bit twee, I have to agree.
The concept of developers & users sharing ideas and code and actually HELPING each other in return for donations to the level you can afford is a fantastic concept - and one that Microsoft would do well to learn from (amongst others).
The end result is everyone is MUCH happier and the product is much better. The only problem is I suspect nobody on here could make a living from it...

I'm feeling all teary eyed now. But you guys & gals are right. Group hug.

Let's all sing together now.
Koom By Ya...... why am I the only one singing?

Sorry....
I was too busy reaching for the kleenex box

hehe... bunch of nerds... really!!... get all hot and flustered at the idea of a new rom or some cab file... it's so sweet...
isn't there a restaurant in London with no prices on the menu but where patrons pay what they believe the meal is worth? Remember hearing about it years ago. Wonder if they still in business.
Yeah there are some talented cooks/programmers on this site. It's a wonderful site for owners of pda's looking for a little doctoring of their phones and I wish xda-developers.com all the best in the future...

Because...

i must say its very touching what u wrote and very true. even though i am new to xda being here has truly been a wonderful experience.
The amount of knowledge is truly monumental.
now on singing kombaya i need some body to give me a beat ...

its not even about money or anything, its about people. just hearing that laurentius spent one whole day (9am - 12pm) to tweak a new rom for us, for you, for anybody, made me think that passion is everything, or anyway a lot more than what people are forced to do for a living.
ive been reading this forum for over 2 years now and remember a lot of things, funny posts, things that, together with the great pieces of software developed, made my day now and then. thank ya all for this!
as you say, this is a silly thread and should under no circumstances stay especially here under the rom development section. kyphur, related to a discussion from laurentius new diamond rom thread, feel free to delete all these.

as most of you probably, i am user on different forums as well. although some amount of flaming is present here as well, it is under no circumstances comparable to things happening on other sites and im grateful to all of you for this.
maybe we should have the national hymn of xdadev, for example Kombaya, somewhere to be downloaded or at least to be visible.

Me too!
Just wanted to add my agreement and appreciation for all that is offered from xda and the people that make it all work. A heart felt "Thank you very much!"

Delete this thread? NEVER...
I'll just move it to someplace more appropriate (but I did leave a perm redirect so it's always hooked to Kaiser Rom Dev)...

True, true... To be honest the only reason I keep buying HTC devices is xda-developers community Although HTC with their support and behavior is trying really hard to persuade me from these decisions on buying new HTC hardware )

Agreed, if I were head of marketing for HTC I would pay Dutty (amongst others) to continue cooking roms for our devices.

OMG, sensitive nerds! *turns around and sneaks away*

Just to also add few thoughts on this forum.
This year I bought my first ever PDA, and had to go to considerable trouble to have it delivered here. In a country where the concept of customer support is not yet in existence, and with thousand noob questions, this forum has provided all the help that I needed. So, this forum means a lot to people like me who have no access to official customer support services or other facilities available elsewhere.
My only regret is that as yet, I am unable to more actively contribute to the great community here.
Thanks XDA developers and keep it up.

A time based review?

I was thinking maybe after a rom has been up for a certain amount of time, maybe a basic review by a mod or admin on the site or anyone else for that matter after the the initial problems have been fixed with the rom.
Mainly to establish stability and functionality and to whom it would be suited for such as buisness people or gamers etc and have it as a sticky near the top of the thread?
Please dont shout at me if this is out of line its just when i start to look at a rom it gets a bit tedious looking through the hundreds of pages to find out the pros and cons.
Thanks for any input

Good Idea
You should check the WIKI and choose from all the cooked roms available
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Cooked_ROMs
Every rom has good/bad things so... It'll sound rude but... try one by one!!!
If you need help choosing a ROM, by my experience, I can recommend Garmin's v1.0 and hang.tuah's RomeOS v4.1
They are stable, fast and a lot of memory available

Most of the chefs already do this. Generally speaking, they will update the 1st/2nd/3rd post of the thread with new version information or issues/fixes.
You should do the following:
Find a ROM that interests you, and read the first couple posts. If you are still intrigued, then read the rest of the thread.
Once a ROM is older than 1-2 months, it is pretty much dead and will not see any further updates from the chef. Something Dutty used to do that I liked was request his threads to be closed once a ROM reached a certain age and was no longer supported. He usually did this if a ROM was particularly buggy and a new version was released to correct the issues.

First thanks for the reply both of you,i understand that they tell you about issues and fixes, but just an over all description like this rom is very finger friendly a good rom for gamers because of the amount of memory left or more a stylus operated rom and buisness orientated rom.
I can sift through my self and understand a certain amount but for noobs evenmore so than myself it might prove helpful and save a couple of questions?
Any way i shall look at that link now.
Thanks people.

Im just trying the throttle rom at the moment im quite impressed a good port from the diamond,love the UI on the today screen although it can be sluggish in loading the selected app.
Not really installed much since flashing,its a bit annoying the messaging aspect of it i dont like the way it loads the message in the same way it would render a web page would rather it went straight to the message.
Love the new calender and the icontacts feature.
Any way it would seem i am writing my own review here so i shall stop now
Thanks for your input and help everyone
You may aswell kill this thread if you want.

SLOW THE %&*$ DOWN!
Just Kidding... but in all seriousness, the variety of roms for the Cappy is amazing. It all comes down to preference; however, I must say that with all of the updates, and new roms, I'm flashing at least twice a day and sometimes even losing track of what I'm running. (Although I know I'm currently running Andromeda and it is by far the best I've had on my Cappy. Awesome GPS lock in seconds, fast, stable.)
The point is... can we consolidate, or come up with a legit thread/wiki that clarifies the pros, cons, features, and specifications on roms. Reading 20 pages of forum after a new ROM is released is getting tiring.

If you look at the feature sets, most of them are the same, just different skins, apps, etc included...
everything is pretty common knowledge since we are all running the same mods... additional apps, skins, etc are just fluff, which is why I personally don't include that kinda stuff. I will leave that to the theme and app section and the person running the rom to make it look how they want.
as far as all of us working together, I respond to all the devs who ask for help, I have joined up and help the team efforts, as well as individuals putting roms out that have asked how to do various things.
Putting it all into a wiki? No thanks, that stuff changes to much to want to deal with updating a wiki with 20 different variations on how to do a smali edit for X feature.
If you take donations, in a community based team, this always becomes a stress point, best not to take donations at that point. I won't accept a cut of team donations, someone will ***** about it if they get less or more, not worth it. (just noticed adam sent me a donation, KNOCK THAT OFF! lol)
As far as you not liking to flash a lot, get help, you are a flash addict
I wont be slowing down anytime soon, get used to it

I feel the same. So many roms are including everything everyone else is. Just skinning and a few differences. I stick to a select few toms and just go frombthere because there is just too much to keep track of right now.
DG you are an idol of a great developer.
It would be great if more.devastating would get together to lighten the load and make it a little easier on all involved, but then again I am excited to.see so.many great revs making a rom all their own.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I think its just crazy that this thread even got other post
I would have thought it was over with mine. But oh well. I have been in the shadows adam
Im always here. Or kinda.... haha

i think a wiki would be convenient in some ways but more trouble than its worth. I mean who would wanna volunteer to keep up with every single rom, and update it daily?
It might help a lil with noobs trying to learn, but honestly reading through 100s of pages in one thread usually ends up helping you learn more than just the rom itself. When i first registered on this forum all i did was read for the first few months before even making a post

Guess I will jump on the bandwagon before this gets moved to the general section.
There was a point in time not so long ago where there were only about 3 ROMs for the captivate and a lot of drooling over what the other SGS variants had going on.
I for one am very happy to see the Captivate community grow and put out some good stuff. The variety and choices really help enable the end-user to get their phone to look and work how they want, end-user empowerment tends to make people happy.
Taco Bell has maybe a dozen individual ingredients but it's the way they are combined that makes each product special.
As for having to read the threads of each ROM, yea it can be a pain, but it is good for you. You are informed, can make the best choice, and know what to expect from what you are about to put on your phone.

The note you made about the themes and such is exactly why I love Andromeda. I personally do not like the 2.0 theme, but the fact that there is an unthemed version as well as a themed version makes me the happiest panda in the world, and I think more ROM cookers should adopt this policy.
What I'd love more than anything else though, is a ROM that supports the hardware voice processing of the Captivate, as well as any custom kernels/modems the user wants. That would be the ultimate ROM in my opinion. Oh, and the 4 lockscreen mod is a must as well. I do not like the glass lockscreen

i think a wiki would be convenient in some ways but more trouble than its worth. I mean who would wanna volunteer to keep up with every single rom, and update it daily?

FYI-
Captivate Wiki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I897
Looks like it is not too far out of date.

People complain too much....

I understand your post OP but as mentioned it won't work. What get's the me the most is when people ask, "what's changed?"...
There are CHANGE LOGS ON EVERY THREAD FOR EVERY ROM.

maybe i interpreted the OP wrong, but it sounds like hes talking about a wiki with more detail than the one we already have

Taco Bell.. I'm hungry.

It really cracks me up that this thread is still going
Every ROM is made for a handfull of people. AS it seems. So to really make a wiki and save all the Info from a few thousand users is just nutz. even to have a WiKi just for the ROMs is kinda nutz as others have said. Just so much changes daily it would be so hard to keep up with
So i guess....Like all the others. We can let this thread die now

I agree with you Smoke. With the way updates come out sometimes daily for fixes or depending on an issues hourly a Wiki would just be too hard to maintain. If some one is up for it then go for it. I just see it as a way for people not to have to read the roms thread and doing research before they flash a rom to their $500 device.

Suggestion Using Torrents for Rom/Radio downloads

Just wondered if anyone had considered creating torrents for things instead of posting links to upload sites or having to worry about having to host things on a private server. This could solve a lot of problems and make downloads much faster for everyone. Linux users probably already know that many of the linux distro sites offer torrents just for that reason.

I think they like to track the # of downloads, I don't know if you can do that with Torrents.

Another reason is, such as with the bamf previews, they can take them down. On a torrent they do not have that option.

This was suggested a couple months ago. I seeded BAMF and BAMF Remix 1.6.3 or something for a couple weeks and posted it in the BAMF thread because people asked but no one used it.

Why should they really care if they can take them down or not? If there is a problem with the ROM and it is bricking everyone's phone, just make a new sticky that says "Don't install this". This whole recurring theme about "don't re-post the ROM cause you might piss off the devs" is kind of silly.

Because they were strictly previews, and it was stated as such that they would only be available for a short time. And honestly if a dev wants control over their Rom and where it's located, well more power to them.

So we are rooting our phones against the wishes of our carrier and manufacturer but don't want to upset a dev by posting their rom where folks can download it faster? We do the same thing with most all other applications on the internet without regard to the original developers. Firefox has retired Firefox 4 but you can still find plenty of places on the net to download it.

Way I see it, the devs have the right to request that no one mirror their roms for what ever reason, be it tracking downloads, ability to take them down (again for what ever reason) or just plain being a ass. If people dont agree with that request, they can and should feel free to download a different rom.
Also with torrents, can you really be sure you are getting the correct file? how many people actually check the md5 before trying to flash the rom? Keeping it in the control of the dev insures, at least partially, that the download is correct.

Or we can continue with the spirit that makes the internet great including things like custom ROMs, and do whatever the hell we want to do.
This code is owned by Android / HTC. Did the devs get their permission before they modified it and posted their custom ROM?
Please, this whole "lets don't upset the devs" is getting really old. XDA is full of a bunch of dev ass kissers and smart ass devs.
If someone is too dumb to generate a MD5 then that is their fault.

As stated above, torrents are a bad idea when it comes to flashing a Rom. Also if you do ever upload a Rom anywhere make sure you ask the developer first no matter whether you think you should or not
