(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.

That wizard of you must of worth a fortune... like a Stradivarius violin
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.

Need a custom ROM for a GIRL =) -- Seriously..

Hey guys / gals..
My girlfriend saw what I did to my phone, and fell in love with it.... but she wants it to look more, girly. I know i know...
So, are there any good roms floating around, that have a pink / purple look to them? Just curious....
or could I install the new duttys rom and get it to look more girly using some program?
Any info is helpful, thanks

Try Schaps ROMs. Here is a WM 6.1 one. These ROMS are good...and have lots of Purple in them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364048

Try Schap's. His trademark is the purple theme and skins... =)

Well, the Schaps ROM is as purple as they come!
And it's a very stable, well designed ROM - try 4.40 for WM 6.1
EDIT: These three posts came up at the same instant! That's why they are so repetitive

Yea... it's cool. LoL... that means it's good information!
I've never used any ROM's except for Dutty's so I didn't really know who had something stable and who didn't.
If anyone has any other suggestions keep them coming... i'll keep checking this thread. Thanks again

Dude,
Why dont you download ROM that you are familiar with so that if your girl want you to do some tweaking or ask you help on this and that, at least you know the ROM and save yourself from embarrassing moments not knowing how to answer your girl's question.
Then, look for themes that looks pinkish or have flowers or anything girlish. Rite?

You beat me to that answer. Windows 6.1 roms have some "nice!" home themes too that can be used.
I would also recommend you check out _Alex_ roms. He has done a lot of hard work, research and tends to answer any questions about his roms. He is not out for fame and his feet are firmly on the ground so I would whole heartily recommend trying out perhaps his Multimedia rom or his home rom. Ask your girlfriend to write a list of specs she wants from her htc. Then go shopping for the best rom. Once you have done that then hunt down some home screen cabs with the colours she wants.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363865
Alex roms seem more stable than any others I have tried and I have tried a great deal. Also the above link has a great deal of info and images and a easy to follow wiki specific to his roms etc.
All the best

Good information, thanks I suppose I could just skin the ones she has... but I figured i'd see if there were any out there already done up. Skinning only changes SOME things... wasnt sure if there were any roms out there that would change the calc and dialpads to some "pretty" colors lol.
Anyway, thanks for the help.. think i got my answer(s).

Try to get her to do the flashing/installing. In this way we will atleast have a flashing addict with a girl that likes it too.
I guess there are not many of us around that can say, our girls/wives like flashing

Here's a great site with zillions of themes:
http://www.pocketthemes.com/download.php?op=viewdownload&cid=1

Install SPB Mobile Shell....you can use colors like red, green, pink, etc.....
Along with Schaps Rom as you can see is the #1 suggestion

Which is the fastest and most stable custom ROM?

I ve been browsing the ROMs but please advice which one is very stable and offers good/some/any video/responsiveness improvement over the original HTC ROM.
I have unlocked Kaiser II from T-mobile in the UK.

Before the flames start (and I believe they will - this question is asked too frequently), let me give you my take on this...It's like asking which flavor of ice cream is your favorite. You'll get dozens of different answers and none of them will be right and none will be wrong. Which is best for your purposes? If it's not stable, it doesn't stay around long and you'll know it by responses in the threads. There are several on the front page because they stay on the front page because people are using them and asking/responding to questions.
Spend some time in the ROM's thread determining if it meets your general needs. Then try it out for several days. If it doesn't work for you...try something else. That's how many of us got to things.
FWIW - I use HyperDragon and love it.

couldnt have said it better...
but since this thread isnt closed YET...
i tell you my favorite ice cream flavour...
G's roms (garmin) DK8 final
good luck

I have yet to try out most of the ROM's (I've only tried out a handful) but so far my favorite is Hyperdragon, because I'm a very big fan of mannilla and it comes built in... Thats just my 2 cents though

The answer is MBV Solace V.1.5 and soon the much faster Solace 2 which is in beta RC11 right now! You're gonna love it!

instead of these threads that just take up space. We should just have a simple poll that should be displayed so that everyone will have their answer.

a new thread shouldnt have even been started for this question! i've seen threads before asking this and the mods closed them! but the best annswer is test out several and then decide and before you ever start a new thread know the rules about starting one first!

I always wanted a poll when I was new to this forum...someone really should set one up

Problem is the answer changes from some people daily.
I like most of the cocked roms around here, try a few yourself, they don't hurt to try.

===============
I've tried several now, I'd say the one I'm using now is an awesome choice and you should give it a try. Just click the 'link' in my signature below, and let the joy begin.

I agree with the general consensus.... I've been through Hyperdragon, NATF, DK8, etc, and quite a few others. You need to decide for yourself which one is best, or build your own with all the options out there. Only you know exactly what you want.
I personally like Hyperdragon, and have literally a DVD full of software for it. I don't necessarily like the TF2 or TF3 as my needs go elsewhere.
I have taken suggestions from all the threads and am working on a ROM based on what I need. Speed & audio are very important to me. Photos and Videos- Not so much
Thank You for listening

lol hey bass this isnt the cocked rom thread bro!

no it's not, but it should be.
I use Solace, but i'm on RC7 and it has some quirks. Going to try 13 later and see what happens.
Also, In before lock.

This is the best so far!!! it has speed, stability, more memory. I guess the works. I tried everyone and this one suite me. Great job!!!

Romeos and now eOS4.888 FiRe
I've tried the a lot of the oldest ROMEOS (since 3. something) and now the -888- eOS 4.888 FiRe and I am pretty happy with it and Manilla 2D. It is VERY fast and has a great reliability. Highly recommended.

For the reasons already stated my other members, this thread is officially closed.

A tiny request.

Hiya folks,
there's a new release of touchflow 3d (version 2.6.)
is there anyway you can integrate it with your future roms ?
thanks

First of all it has to be ported to QVGA. Utopykzebulon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489749) has started the work, but then he suddenly stopped it and doesn't wanna publish his work. It is a big problem, because the newer tf3d has some very cool features, and also lower memory consumption so it would be perfect on the Kaiser.
I also want to see it on our phone.

There actually isn't a new release. There is an unofficial leaked beta that some are trying to cook into Blackstone roms. Since TF3D has never really been buglessly ported to kaiser or qvga phones, I doubt this version will be any easier to port.
Aside from yhe fact that the Kaiser is getting kind of long in the tooth and I think that the chefs would rather focus their time and efforts to moving up to new phones that will support this release ( when it is released ) rather than work on porting it to an older phone.

Kaiser hardware does not support 3D rendering as much as the newer devices do. So this is out of question.

well, i downloaded that TF3D rom and i must say that it doesnt work smooth at all:/ the 3d animation works great, but running something or writing an SMS is nearly impossible, and i think our chefs can make it run smoother

there's only so much a 400 mhz processor can do
that's about as good as it can get. besides, most of the chefs are moving on to newer devices

This whole idea has been gone over a thousand and one times, and some very talented chefs already took TF3D as far as it could go on our devices. And keep in mind, even HTC themselves couldn't give us TF3D for the 400mhz ARM processor chip sets. They gave us M2D instead, something actually made and meant for our hardware.
Please take UI discussion to one of the other Kaiser Forums, since it is only a small part of what is ROM development. That is, unless you release a ported TF3D build that works like butter on the Kaiser, then you can post it anywhere on this site you want, and we would all love it!
PS
OP: That is nowhere near a tiny request. Chef's already spend a lot of time and effort and work just cooking a ROM, let alone doing something HTC couldn't even do. This forum is for development, not for asking someone else to fulfill your every whim.

Max Manila Theme 2.1 Resources

Hi there
Have been working through the MMT threads on this forum and come to the conclusion that whilst the focus is on v2.5 there are a number of v2.1 users (perhaps not brave enough yet to flash ROMs and so be able to use v2.5 +) who would benefit from a consolidated resource listing the limited number of components that can be used with this early version of this excellent product, advice on settings, etc.
Does such a resource exist and if so then can some kind person point it out to me? Or, dare I even suggest it, put one together?
Thanks in anticipation.
Balders

i am interesting too, because rom's with sense 2.5 are heavier than sense 2.1 .

I agree, couse i'm in the group of users that are not brave to flash it..

Hate to say it guys but we are all about moving forward, not back.
I think 2.5 beats 2.1 hands down and would never think of reverting, just like I would never go back to an older WM version.
As far as 2.1 themes, in MMT thread, post #9, items in red are likely for 2.1, also people were adding items throughout the thread, so if you scan the first 20 or so pages, you may find other components and\or links.
Major contributors were Maxycy, djcedric, heartofwolf, milski, so if you find their threads, the files will still be there.
Here is another resource for 2.1.
...but you really are missing out.

Hi Bruce
Very much appreciate what you say about moving forward but I suspect that there may be many out there like me, ie, newbies who are just starting out and to whom the customisation of their phones is a 'big' and new area...so we want to start out simply...and MMT 2.1 is just about right IMHO...I am sure that once we have more confidence we will join you pros...but for now many thanks for the tips given...something to read and further investigate during the Holiday Season.
Regards
Balders
PS. Lets us know if you have any more guidance re. MMT 2.1
