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

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.

*NEW* Dutty ROM *NEW*

Asked a few times on Dutty's April thread and also sent a PM (although I didn't expect a reply from the PM)
My question is/was:
Is there going to be another Dutty ROM for the Kaiser? or is the April one the last. As there was a few minor problems with it there was mention he was going to do another but no one seems to be saying least of all Dutty - course I did read he was chilling for a bit.
//Before people whine and moan.. I did ask many times on the thread and searched for the answer this is my last resort!
Cheers!

why are you such a tool i've never posted once but people like you piss me off what kind of stupid question is that

This thread can be closed if you ask me....
What's the point in creating a new thread containing only a question if somebody is going to release a new ROM!?
People who are cooking ROM's are doing this for free in their spare time... ..they even got lives besides the XDA forum.
If there's a new ROM you wil see it in the thread of the Kaiser ROM Development.
Do us a favour and change the misleading title of your thread dude...

I hear his slowing down rom making i.e. don't expect one anytime soon, he has alot of work to do i hear he hasn't stopped it just isn't a priority anymore.
p.s. Now rum b4 thew angry mob gets here

You got to be kidding!
If you want to know what the cook is making for dinner then ask the cook. Asking the people in the super market won't help. If the cook doesn't answer you then just wait to see what he puts on the table. Unless your paying for the meal then be polite and don't bother the Chef. In short one would assume by your question that you have your pants custom made due to the sher size of your balls and I would bet their brass as well.

So I tried reaching into dutty's mind..couldn't come up with any info...he must have his tin hat on

Moderators please lock or remove this.

He did say in one of the threads that he was getting a new device so development might slow down on his kaiser roms. If I was reading between the lines I would guess he's looking to move on. But I'm not a mind reader and so will take whatever he says literally, but really it's none of my business whether he continues or not.
If you'd have read the threads properly you would have noticed him mentioning this, he has done so more than once. Anyway, take it easy, but really this goes against the grain of the community, i.e. 'giving', none of the cooks owe us anything so we shouldn't be chasing them up with whether they're releasing a new ROM not.

Any new foreign movies?

Ah ok...well if we are going to discuss something worthwhile... then by all means.
MY girlfriend and I have gotten into watching alot of asian horror, and have branched out into other countries as well.
Check out "El Orfanto", The Orphanage, a very good ghost story from Spain.
If you haven't seen Pan's Labyrinth, or really anything by Guillermo del Toro, you should check it out.
I must say that most of the asian horror is sort of "out there" and doesn't make as much of an impact to western sensibilities... good acting, pacing, but much left unexplained. One that isn't exactly "horror" but just an awesome, messed up story...see Oldboy, a korean film.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! My head hurts from reading this thread... why did I bother?
Now I'm wasting time posting on it. If this thread were a banana, I would squish it. Comprehensively.

Dutty and a few others, are kinda sick of Kaiser & will be jumping ship shortly. Don't expect Great Kaiser roms forever. Not with newer & greater toys right around the corner. Many of us will be leaving shortly.

lol spit it out will you!
I never said it was my business, and maybe it 'goes against the grain' but it was a perfectly legitimate question and was asked clearly with nothing other than, I'll wait if there is another on the way.. rather than install the 'last' ROM.
What's hilarious is that my question was answered quickly and concisely by Infuruno (page 1 post 3!) - now that's all that was required simply put and job done!.

Hi guys , I'm abandoning this release for now as it seems there still issues with this build, not sure if its the newer wm6.1, I havent tried 5.2.19212 as yet, but there are random freezes with these build , i know people are mentioning it could be hardspl but I cant see how is that have to do with it, My thoughts it could be related to the dynamice pagepool setting with also with our customcache settings,
I fixed most issues so far, including contacts and other stuff, but dont feel its still stable.
I'm also looking to get a new device soon,
So for now I will not support this thread, also I'm also busy at work again, thanks for supporting guys, I will be at the background trying to do one more release, but need to investigate the random freezing we experiencing now with these new builds

Hi Guys i have been really busy agauin at work, i'm starting with the new Rom, not really happen with last one, one of my worst rom, but its a learning experience, seems there is more to wm6.1 now especially with the Diamond build, also I'm very interested in getting a new phone so not really motivated in cooking roms for kaiser no more since HTC let us down. as soon as i near completion I will let you guys now.
As said before The hybrid wm6.1 roms are my favourites just that the new drivers wont work, so I will be playing agin with some new builds and if we still got issues i might do another hybrid with all updated apps, my apologies, i would recommend if u still want to use one of my stable roms, still use hybrid april 01 or hybrid 29 thanks guys

Thank you Chefs. Happy Thanksgiving from USA

Mod: Please feel free to move this thread anywhere you feel appropriate. I was thinking of creating it in "Off topic" but afraid they might not see it. My apology for wasting your time :-(
Anyway, Thanksgiving is around the corner for some of us in the U.S. The intention of this thread is to give some of us an opportunity to say "Thank You" to all the chefs for all their wonderful work. I know we said plenty in their ROM's thread, but this is special without clustering their thread.
I want to personally say thank you to the following chefs for their wonderful ROMs. I know there are many out there, but these are the one that I use (order of chefs has nothing to do with the quality of their ROMs. They all GRRREATT!!).
1/ Laurentius26
2/ -G-
3/ abusalza
4/ sakajati
5/ mbarvian
Thank you...Hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving day (11/27/2008) from Bay Area California, whether you celebrate it or not.

Amen Brother. Thanks from Idaho!!

I agree, Thanks from California!

Plus to more chefs
i too would like to say thanks, adding Ruppy & Alex.
From Maryland USA... Happy Turkey Day to all, and to all a good night. (oh wait, that's later)

Thanks
I agree too, from Campeche, México. Regards

THXS!!!
Thank you all for your time,effort and ofcourse for the roms you keep producing and the knowledege you provide us with...I would have thrown my kaiser against the wall a 1000 times if not for you guys....
+Bengalih

Same here - THANKS TO ALL THE WONDERFUL CHEFS, YOU GUYS MAKE OUR DEVICES HAVE PRODUCTIVE PURPOSES OTHER THAN BEING A PAPER WEIGHT, THANKS AGAIN!!! - Glendale Heights, Illinois.

i would also like to thank the chefs for being the only reason an htc phone is still worth buying.
+ pdacorner
+ anthine

I also would like to say thank you to all the wonderfull works of all the chefs and moderator here from this site, i admit that without this site i wouldn't more appreciated my HTC devices. Thank you again.

Agreed! Happy thanksgiving to everybody!!! Hope we get some good thanksgiving meals! Oh wait, we might have them already

+1 All Around!! -Apologies for the insanely long Thank You post-
I had originally had a giant reply typed out then decided to do the spell check feature annnnd it promptly refreshed my page and deleted EVERY BIT OF MY REPLY!! lol
So, we'll make this relatively short:
Chefs: You guys simply OWN. Everything. Period. The end. lol I would have already destroyed my TILT had it not been for you guys and all of your insanely hard work. I've tried my hand at cooking but I've come up rather empty-handed. I managed to make a working Apache ROM but can't make a successful one for the Kaiser and I know how much work I put into trying to make it work so I can only imagine how much time and effort you guys really put into making these works of art. HTC and the various carriers really owe you guys a hhuuggee THANK YOU and wouldn't kill them to toss you guys a few dollars here and there for what you guys do. While PDAs may be popular in the business world, XDA and all the chefs and contributers have made them something that new phone users all the way to uber tech geeks would love. I do believe that had it not been for this site and all the people involved that a LOT more people would be stuck with generic phones (not to knock companies like Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson, Apple...ok...so I'll bash Apple for hours lol...but HTC has all but run away with the PDA market and I love it) that wouldn't or couldn't do half of what they want. A big complaint I hear from people is that the stock PDA ROMs are too hard to work with or is just too much phone but once they see what all customizations that XDA offers and just how easy this place has made it to break free of crummy stocks then they jump at the chance to have a phone that they both love and can effectively use so, with that being said:
HTC!!! SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE!!! THEY KEEP YOU EMPLOYED AND KEEP YOUR PHONES FLYING OFF THE SHELF!!!
=]
I do believe that this site should be on the company payroll lol
One of my biggest reason that I stuck w/ my TILT was the fact that I stumbled across this site while looking up info on it and was THRILLED to see what all I could do with it. (All we need now is a motion sensor and some REAL 3D drivers **hint hint hint hint @ HTC** and TRUE TouchFlo 3D support lol)
Anyways, so much for that being short =]
I just appreciate you guys so much more than you'll ever know.
There have been soooo many times that I have wanted to simply DESTROY my TILT for not having something or not doing what it's supposed to but then I hop on here and VIOLA! I find just what I needed to know to fix it.
I don't think I've ever been as happy with a phone as I have been with my TILT and I've owned a LOT of phones and even used to work for a third-party retailer of AT&T and Sprint phones so I got to play with a LOT of different phones (which include the Samsung Instinct, the LG Vu, the Palm Centro, a trillion different variations of Sony Ericssons, several BlackBerrys and even the oh-so-disappointing Apple iPhone) and I always laughed when people asked me which phone I owned and when I pulled it out of the case they'd all just stare at it and drool over it (and it's nicely customized ROM. No more ugly stock rom =D ) Needless to say that I think me carrying my TILT around at work probably killed a few of our phone sales since the only place we offered it was online and the AT&T corp store had it in-store lol
So thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU!! =]
You guys rock!
Happy Turkey Day to all from the great state of Alabama and here's to all of the awesome people here in our XDA family!
NOW GO EAT SOME TURKEY!!!!!!!!!!

I just picked up my first PPC, the FUZE like a week and a half ago... knew nothing about flashing or even installing apps. Flashed ROMeOS yesterday and am loving it!
Thank Chefs!! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone

WOW - this is NOT the tweet I wanted to read...

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'.

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
