Flying away to Polaris

Guys,
With all respect to anyone here who helped me out developing technical and cooking skills, knowledge and of course..making friends around the world, I wanna say: A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!
I'm going to another plataform after two years of Wizard dedication. I made a lot of friends here, learnt a lot and built cool custom roms.
I decided to move away after a huge battery crash. As reported in one of my threads, battery life only supports 500 charges during the whole operational life and course, after these years of suffering, there wasn't no way to revive her I got a new brand one and sold it.
I'll be around as usual and keeping support and coaching on demand. I sold my Wizard for 450 bucks to a local guy after several months trying to get a good price. Now, he's gone!
I'll now start a new journey in Polaris forum and start doing things up there to keep my creations always up to date and delivering what I now have as an addict!
Feel free to contact me if you still have doubts about my ROMS available here but also to say hello. I'll be always prompt to reply.
I had really great time over here and I appreciate it a lot! Hours of fun!
I'm leaving this forum but I'm sure that I left great works behind me.
Take care all of you and those specially people who supported me during my time in Wizard forum!
Hope to see you guys all in the surround area!
Best regards,

pooo mancada heim!!! ficou me devendo a wm 6 em ptbr =(
quem sabe eu um dia nao consiga aprender e eu msmo me vire ;P com ctz vou te encher bastante precisando de ajuda!
fiquei triste!! mais de qualquer maneira! boa sorte com seu novo brinquedinho!!

Hey mister!
Glad to hear you buddy!
Well, things happens all the time and now it's time to move on to a new pride!
I'm sorry for not giving you what you were expecting in terms of our local ROM but I still have the tools to cook but not the device to test!
Count on me if you need help....PM!
I'll take a breath little bit enjoying Polaris and then start doing those creative monster again!
Hope to see you around!
Take care!

We'll miss you around here. I'm still having as much fun (work!) as I can with mine, so I'll be here a while longer. Stay in touch.

I've really enjoyed your roms - and your help. Our loss is the Polaris boards gain. drop in now and then - let us know what we are missing over there.
Have a good one
Bill

You are an asset to the forum. I remember your work with touch roms. Hope you have a good journey ahead. Thankyou!!

Hey guys!
I really thank all of you! I was off handling a project in my professional life!
Well, today I'm very happy cause I just got my new techtoy! A brand new Polaris device
Have a lot to do from now on and course...setup my own Polaris ROM!
Samy,
I also remember those cloudy days dealing with Faria's ROM and you were there helping me out trying to figure out so many problems I had! Thanks mate! Thanks a lot!
jwzg,
Thanks you too buddy for all support and kind words we both had in this forum!
I'll also be around sniffing and helping others!
and Bill,
Thanks for having helped me out during those tests over my latest ROMs. I appreciated it a lot!
Take care guys!

JacHero 2.6.3 - Deserving of a Compliments Thread

Hello.. My name is Joel.. .and I am a FF'er.. Frequest Flasher... for the last 2 weeks I think I flashed my phone at LEAST once a day... and just wanted to say.. and give a HUGE thanks to Justanothercrowd, Drizzy and anyone else who helped create JacHero.. This latest 2.6.3 version runs by far the best out of all the releases I have tried. It is stable, pretty quick.. has the least amount of lag.. and is overall a GREAT release..
I would have just left a compliment in your release thread.. but It is growing so large, I feel a compliments thread is appropriate and leave the official thread for ?'s and ROM specific talk..
* To the mods.. sorry if this is inappropriate for the section... if you do insist on deleting.. can you at least leave for a short period of time for those that wish to give their thanks!
Thanks to all of the contributors of XDA! You all are great!

Good Work
I tried it, thought it was brilliant, but couldn't get my bluetooth headset working, so in the end had to go back to cyanogen.

well keep a good eye on the hero releases! because soon enough (if you've been watching them anyway) they'll be fixing the bluetooth! its been a huge bugger since the beginning with all of the hero builds, same with the LED lights. so far they can turn on BT via terminal! so thats pretty close!
STAY TUNED! you'll be shocked at how awesome it'll be

Lol I agree with the OP. Absolutely oustanding job by everyone. Cyrowski, db.hates.you. revox, JAC, drizzy, etc...

I like this thread, I want to say thanks but not blow up the dev thread (however this is questionable because this is still the dev sub category in the forum). So to all the developers a big thanks from Seattle/Tacoma Washington! Great work and because of this sort of community and tinkering I will never own an iPhone. It makes having the phone that much more fun =)

Excellent Rom.Thirded

To all the developers - great job creating roms, recoverys, themes, etc.
Mainly Haykuro, Jac, db.hates.you., JesusFreke, Drizzy Drake Rogers, Cyanogen, and android.
Good Luck to all of them and keep the updates coming

I have to agree as well. The latest build is working great even on my class 2 memory card. A bit of lag never hurt anyone. The devs have been working tirelessly to give us a build that it stable enough for day-to-day use. I'm sure they still have a few tricks up their sleeves and can't wait to see what's coming down the pipeline.

Big bang!!
Fo sho you devs get a BIG BOOM!!! from you guys knocked it out the park w/ the progress of this ROM kudos to you jac, drizz, cyrowski, db and any one i didnt mention thanks a million!!

also a big thanks from me, been running jachero since version 1, and it has progressed very far

Thanks for all the work of all the great ROM builders, you are all awesome!!

This Thread should've been made a while ago!! Great Job Guys.

Yes...Much Thanks and Praise for well done Roms.
I keeps me from abandoning ship!

I want to put in my thanks for the community, Justanothercrowd"wonderful dev and friend", dbhatesyou, haykuro, barikflorida, chrisag92"crime partner lol", johnnylicios"great friend", and especially To all the supporters "you have all lived your Dream... now its time to become a real HERO" which means you are all gonna get what you want and that is a full functioning Hero for your Dream!
We Promise!....will take some time of course

I would like to also thank all of the DEV. On making my Dream into a HERO lol

wanted to say THANX to all of the great, dedicated work... its been daily updates.. i make themes, havent in awhile but when i did it was hard working alone to put out as many updates as you all have
JAC, been reading ur twitter bak n forth to twisted.. funny **** on there, but glad to see everyone working on the same team instead of competing.
you should be rewarded more so, i say by htc or google,for your accomplishments.. why not add the mods of their phone to their team?

Pip pip...
Hooray!
Pip pip...

Well said... agreed 100%

better yet the thanks go all out to you; :B i know im not the greatest of people *stares at his name* i just put things bluntly lol. well anyways for you guys thanks for helping testing builds/reporting bugs and all of that fun stuff. expect some fun stuff soon im making an app for JAC i dont wanna get too into detail and blow the surprise. but anyways. thanks everyone.

Thank you ahmgsk!

Nothing much but just tell you small thanks for your hard work for this community, Since i've got my first htc magic i had no clue how to deal with roms or android at all.
I've found ahmgsk on this forum and just added him to my gtalk and said "oh well, if i've a luck he will approve me" and guess what? he has.
since then he has teached me step by step about roms, about android explained me about radio, roms and helped me with many upgrades/downgrades and saved me from screw up my device as many would in this forum while trying change the radio or what so ever. he NEVER asked me to vote or review him. But after his decent help to me, a person he never knew or got anything from. I want just tell you, thank you for what you are and hopefully see you keeping up your great work at this community!
You are an leader, I'm the follower.
Good luck

+1 i can only agree with that.. to bad that there is some idiots instead of getting a live spending thy're time on frustrating and annoying others.

thx to ahmgsk i have come along way with my sapphire too

and point i would like to mention to people here about ahmgsk. Even he has lost his Magic in the past december. He has still worked hard to bring the Magic owners the great roms, he has exchanged many of his must study hours to create roms and help people all the time.
He is a truely good person with good intentions, when he even lost his own Magic he didnt said "i lost mine, so i dont care of others" he kept working hard and every second he could borrow magic from some one, he used to keep and creating great things for everyone here!

Sorry but have I missed something regarding ahmgsk!? would someone be kind and filling me in what has happened?

i also want to thank ahmgsk for his hard work and great roms
i like his work he is one best in rom dev.but feeis sorry for what happen in his latest rom thread which was unfortunate.
i will request him to continue his great rom devlopment thank u

I'm pretty sure if he left the community on his own accord, he's no longer interested and never will be.
I think we should be standing behind the devs who are still here and truly are dedicated to this forum.

+1
and not the ones who asks for money and quits.
it's a shame.

I agree with all of you, except one or two. He for our did a great job only for our entartainment. You like it or not, this is the truth. It is truth that nobody put him to do that, but at least we can a little respect for his great work. I and probably most of you are waiting for him to come back.
So good luck and come back soon.

please show me where he has stated that he won't be doing any dev job without getting a money/donations?

guys... he deved on friend device... that one he dont have anymore how u whant him to dev without device ? he is a good coder... but its like u cant code on typewriter... anyway he did things because he like not because he needed...
if he had a personal magic he never quit... trust me

Yeah, and a lot of people donated a lot of money for his nee Magic. Do you belive that he didn't get enough money (about 350$ for brand new)?? I belive he gets the money! But now he won't develop for us anymore. It is too sad, because he promise that new version will come at tuesday, then he said on friday, then on sunday and finally - no release for u f****s... OK THANKS for the "no release".
Hope you will spend our money for one good weekend.
In fact it is not so dificultly to make roms by yourself guys. I am making my owns, when i am tired to wait somone to give me a good rom. Maybe i should start to recruit some donations and after 1 month develping will tell you - go away, i am tired? Good idea.... but i am not like the others. If i start to release modified builds, there will be no link for donations.

i agree
any of you actually use ahgmsk roms?
the last one I found usable was his superD port only
rest of them were too incomplete to even work other than tests

:lol: @ This Indian kid running off with your donations after only releasing Beta roms. Only daily rom was Super D, and that was ported.
Really, how hard is it to port a donut rom to NR?

those were not even new radio when he made that port lol (superd ahgmsk port was old radio)
that was before he started his work on porting sense dumps to the NR

yes, I use his SuperHero1.5.
I'm very happy happy with this rom, it is the fastest one (with SenseUI) I ever tried (and I tried many)!
SuperHero2.0 would have been great, but ok, i can stick with SuperHero1.5 until htc releases the offical update.

its pretty premo - some DiS here and there - and ofc usb problem but its almost daily usable

to all the people that can live with bugs on a rom and use it, im not one of you - sorry
need stable!

I am thinking of the creation of the rom called "The Ultimate Rom" for G1/MT3G and hope it also moves onto newer phones as you can see the G1/MT3G is starting to fade as the newer phones begin to be born and because of this I believe we should make a community rom where not only the devs can join in but the community weather it be graphics to sounds I believe we all should be able to join in so I would like to get some help on making it come true I believe there should be a rom we as the community should be happy for that we all chipped in and made something truly amazing ^^
PS: And mods plz don't delete this for being in the Dev section I believe it is about Devs and I would like you to be part of this rom as well ^^
Hoping to start 4th of july so getting everyone ready to put stuff in or ready for it to start ^^

I can't help..but I'll test anything that pops off

Please. We've been down this road before. When the glory and satisfaction of solo or small team ROMs isn't in play, development suffers. We need creative individuals pushing the limits to advance the scene, and unless they have their name on the ROM, things will slow down. This goes for life (free enterprise vs. socialism) and ROM dev.
Also, keep in mind, all the ROMs are community! There are thousands of man-hours of work already in every aspect of Android. The ROMs we see build on all that. This is a solution in search of a problem.

lol I have created over 7 successful roms some in a small team others in a big team lol and it worked out xD and I would disagree check I left a bit ago about a month if that lol and no everyone should get a chance not just one person thats just selfish also I think if one big rom is made we can keep some G1/MT3G users for longer lol we need something new and exciting can't you see that ^^ well whatever you say I will try and continue this IDK if it will work or not THE THING IS EVERYONE WOULD HAVE FUN TRYING ^^

If you are serious about this, I think it's a dumb idea. The best thing about having a rooted Android phone is that you can choose whatever ROM suits you.
Personally, I want a fast Donut ROM. I don't care for all the extra bells and whistles in SuperD/CM4/etc and I don't have any interest in running an Eclair ROM as I don't think they perform well enough on our phones. Given the popularity of OpenEclair/SuperE/CM5, there are obviously other people who feel differently and I expect a vast number of people here wouldn't switch back to Donut if you paid them.
There will never be "The Ultimate ROM" because everyone's needs and wants are different. Just let devs make what they will and let users choose what they want.

i have very little experience in the overall creation of the rom, however i am very willing to learn more and would jump at the opportunity to be of any help, if someone was willing to show me a little bit of how this all works i am positive i can be of great help.

To me I could care less about credit.... I rather help where I can then be selfish... Knowledge isn't a competition, it is a struggle as a group I would love to learn what I don't and Help others where I can Ego is the one thing that could destroy this project ...

SpeedTeam is there whenever you need us....Right K =)

with code much is possible you can change your rom by the tick of a button or tap of a button wysie has shown us this and cyan making a rom possible to suite most of course not all people by some options and extra features of choice can be done ^^

I swear, when I read this, it sounded like you died from lack of oxygen at the end. Please, for the sake of readers, could you use punctuation? Throw a few commas and periods in there.
As for the idea, I would flash a beta version or two, but I can't see this working out as well as some might hope. There will always be disagreements. Some people want 2.1, others, 1.6. Some like SenseUI, and others don't. Words like "perfect" and "ultimate" are very subjective to whoever reads them.
Good idea, probably very hard to execute. Good luck.

lol thanks dude ^^ hopefully there must someway to make a script for downgrade and upgrade without losing data etc. I wish it is possible lol well something good may come of this rom ^^

I'd be willing to help out aesthetically.

[Thanks]Are we (Cappy users) spoiled?

This is more of a way to say thanks to all the Dev's and users who populate this forum. If you really compare to the various sub-sections (phones) you really just are underwhelmed by a lack of ROM's. And the Captivate development section is full of great quality ROM's. You almost have an overload of ROM's to flash, so many good ones. And also the great i9000 dev's. They did a ton of work to help get us some great ROM's
Here is just a thanks. Keep up the good work
Say thanks to your dev's in the thread below

i agree. definately not good for anyone with a flashing addiction . lol i'm downloading two new roms as i type. thanks dev team for finishing what att/samsung didnt.

agreed
awesome work, Devs

Part of the thanks goes to Samsung for making it easy
That's also why I'll never buy HTC or Motorola as long as they're in the habit of locking bootloaders.

I was considering one of the newer devices but the development sections are non existent. Yes were are spoiled, I agree, thanks to our devs.
MIUI

Necessity breeds invention.

I feel sorry for the people who use stock phones and think that's as good as it gets. Those poor, clueless people.
Thank you, XDA.

Try going to the forums of most other AT&T Android phones, such as the Motorola Bravo, and you'll be shocked that almost 6 months after release, they don't have a single custom ROM, and rooting is still a pain for them!
As for us, we have a ton of amazing devs cranking out awesome ROMs, lagfixes, kernels, themes, etc., so I could never imagine going back to stock again

Mucho Gracias Devs
+100000 to what has been said already. I've learned and gained so much from this forum. I have a real love affair with my cappy! I'm up for an upgrade as we speak, but I can' t imagine a better phone. This is thanks to XDA and the awesomely talented hard working devs on this this forum. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
*Now if I can only get the stupendous battery life others have mentioned, I'd be in heaven*

I think the 10+ million galaxy S phones that are all unlocked might have something to do with it too.

Agreed.

Agree wholeheartedly!! I would never go back to stock, and I am supremely thankful to all of the devs and users out there that have provided custom roms, kernels, and all of the other goodies available. The biggest thing I am thankful for, though, is all of the information the users and devs provide. I have learned so much about my cappy, and android in general, from this forum. IMHO, the best way to show thanks is to keep up the spirit of sharing, and provide your own insight anywhere it may be useful. I am always happy to help anyone out, as long as it is a question I know something about. Again, a big thanks to all of the devs, and to all of the users!!

I can definitely say that the Captivate Development is one of the best on XDA.
My brother is looking for a new device to upgrade to, he keeps comparing everything to my Captivate. He still hasn't found anything that he would rather have over the Captivate, mostly because of the support available on XDA.

Love the captivate, but it wouldn't be anything withput the captivate android development section

I am so surprised every time I try to check on ROMs for other phones.
I am scared about leaving the captivate, I don't want to be stuck on stock. I was going to go to atrix next, that isn't looking good. Hopefully the SGS II is as easy to dev as the captivate, and hopefully its out soon.
We are so very spoiled. The hardest thing about flashing a ROM for a captivate is choosing which one.
Thanks to all the great devs that make this possible.

One thing that I think is crazy is that the necessity for a lagfix created something unexpected and amazing in the Voodoo Project (ext4 optimizations, sound, and color), mad props to Supercurio. Not trying to single any dev out, y'all are great and continue to produce amazing ROM's.

I'm glad my phone didn't work as promised right out of the box. I feel sorry for anyone that decided to move on to another phone for that reason. The developers in this section are awesome there are easily 15 solid roms and 10 different kernels to choose from. Sometimes navigating the choices can give a guy a head ache, but Thanks to all the hard working devs in the captivate XDA it's almost impossible to make a bad choice. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I agree with everyone. I bought my SGH-I897 because a friend bought one for his wife and she loved it (even with stock ROM) and got it free on Black Friday. I came from iPhone original to this and was only marginally satisfied... until the custom ROM I installed a few days ago. Wow, what a difference. The hardware that promised so much is now free to work as it should. Better battery life, smoother performance, more options, more access.
Like others, I feel sorry for those who at one time held this device in their hands then gave it up because of terrible software.
Thanks to all those who take the time to develop, update, write guides, share findings, take risks... for the benefit of fellow Captivate owners. Thanks.

100% agreed.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all developers here in XDA. I officially salute to all of them. They help us without asking payback. I definitely think donation is my way to show how I appreciate their work, time and their unselfishness of sharing.
And also want to thank all memebers here on XDA. They are extremely helpful as well.
Being winmo rom flasher/users for 5 years. As android is totally new to me. After been reading lots of lots of topics, I just recently had guts to flash a custom android rom. And all I can say is wow. Didn't expected a big different like that.
Again, thanks all ppl here in XDA. I know I'm spoiled, and protected too, as long as I am a member of XDA community.

Completely agree! Imagine if we were all still on stock firmware with RFS and no mods... Definitely wouldn't be the high end phone it is now. Thanks Devs!
