Want to donate Prophet!!!

I have a prophet which I have no use for. It is not in the best condition but is in fully working order. Comes from orange but is unlocked and is running one of the old i-mate roms...
Now i can't decide who to donate it to but if any of you have ideas I will gladly accept any suggestions.
I only have the handset as i bought it years ago.
I DO NOT WANT MONEY FOR THIS AS LONG AS IT GOES TO SOMEONE THAT CAN APPRECIATE IT AND WILL NOT TRY TO SELL IT ON TO MAKE MONEY.
if the moderators have any ideas - maybe a competition of some sort
kind regards,
krassen
P.S. - photos can be found at http://81.86.99.181/Prophet/

hope it goes to a good cause
to me! (joke - I don't need 2 prophets)...
give it to crestdelta he needs a new phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=5951314
or to netrunnerat, he's always looking for a cheap prophet for testing

Happily!
I already have a TyTN, but my father is jealous of it and would love getting a PPC!
EDIT: A competition would be a great idea, considering some might not be home 'till late and miss the offer.
EDIT 2: We (me or my father) would happily pay for the shipping

i'm sure some devs/cookers could use it.

i'll gladly take it off your hands & will pay shipping. Need it for the missus, she's been looking for a pda-phone since her palm t5 died.
please pick me!!
ta

No no no pick me!
Heheh.

up to the guy donating it, but i think it would be put to better use going to a developer than 'somebody's missus' ?

Yup, first, try to find a cooker that does need it so that he can release ROM's for it. That is, first, post to the Prophet Upgrading forum. If you don't find anyone or not any cooker / dev needs it, you can also think of me so that I can start publishing hands-on experience Prophet infos too.

Yup, experienced cookers / hackers / devs that would really like to release ROM's and other device-specific stuff for the Prophet should be preferred.

Yeah, some of these developers risk their phone for our sake.. it's only fair that they should be higher priority than those who already have a phone.

Menneisyys and Midget_1990 are good candidates for it.
They always have something good to contribute.

Except they already have prophets

[+1] Menneisyys all the way. He has shared everything in so depth and loves to share his vast knowledge

So far we have two good candidates...
Menneisyys
Midget_1990
i wanted to get a few more good names and then make a poll and see...whoever wins it will get the device...

Let Midget_1990 have it if he plans to release cooked ROM's for it - after all, ROM's are more important for the general public than mere device-specific tricks & compatibility infos / reports I'd publish.

i'm not a cooker
I don't make roms
I don't really know what the Prophet is
I already have an Orbit
But I WILL swap you it for half a carrot, a turnip and a bag of frozen garden peas (although you will have to organize your own freezer van to ensure they arrive to you in a still frozen form..)
Sorry - its the wine talking.......I'll go away now......

I would be glad to get that prophet because I need to have a working phone during daytime for my work.... so I can only flash at might because I can't miss any calls from customers .... I get verry litle sleep because I have to do all my coocking and flashing at late hours

there is the best candidate ^^
(rom's are no problem btw )

Can we recommend JIGGS for this, OUR 1 and ONLY CHEF of ATOM ROM?

Noob

Hello Folks,
Noob just joined as I just purchased an M3100 from ebay. Its unlocked and has been upgraded to WM6. I was offered a M3100 as an upgrade (with orange) back in august but I chose the Nokia N95 instead. I'm a phone/gadget freak. Always loved playing with phones, upgrading, changine software etc. Had a few smartphones in the past and have had one windows based phone (SPV E200).
I liked it, I thought it was a nice change from the usual simple phone menus and software. Mucked about with that too, installing unlock software etc. My N95 I've already debranded and added several after market progs.
Anyway enough babbling. Followed this forum for quite a while as I've always hankered after a TYTN even though I have an N95. Had some extra cash (birthday) so I got myself one . Cant wait to muck about with roms etc. Oh yeah umm, and hi!!

A senior member with a junior attitude, very nice

Welcome to the hermes forums.
Most new members find in a short time that asking questions that have been asked already will get them flamed by other members, espically senior members.
Wait I'm a senior member....
Seriously though you will love tinkering with all the stuff here. I love it. But this is not a forum where you can introduce yourself as a new member(as you have seen)That's a HowardForums or Brighthand kind of thing..
You will hear this more than once: "read the wiki". Words to live by.
For a head start:
Install HardSPLv7 (2.10 Olipro)
Find a rom you like (cant go wrong with shaps or Vp3g)
Perhaps a new radio (gotta try em all to see if they are good/bad for your area)
Lots of guys have done great work in here, so enjoy the fruits of their labor...
Oh yeah and if you find your incall volume to low, try the vp3g with setacoustic i served up.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342174
Anyway welcome and good luck, hopefully it's your only flame....

very nice intrglctcrevfnk
I would only add one thing...
truscotsman72 should also check out THE MRVANX GUIDES for great upgrade assistance.
Otherwise, a very nice introduction to the forums. One other thought (now that I think of it) which may help explain the rather cool reception our noob friend received. These forums got their origins as an exchange of very technical information between devlopers - like the nearly-godlike Olipro, pof, MrVanx, duttythroy, sleuth, jasjamming, vp3g, schaps, faria and many, many others.... The more mundane "support-like" helpers like lowly old me is a rather new phenomenon that only starts once the ROM world gets more stable. We have achieved that in Hermes WM6 world. It is (as you have witnessed) a mixed blessing.
Either way, welcome to XDA-Developers, warts and all.

Thx guys, yeah I have the wiki page bookmarked and been reading through this site for hours. Very informative and interesting, which is why I joined. As for the welcome, it was just force of habit as with most forums you introduce yourself. Didn't mean to p*ss anybody off, just thought that was no way for a noob to be spoken to for saying hello (ok I did go on a bit). And I have the MRVANX guides bookmarked too, cheers

Well I received my M3100 this morning, nice machine, instruction book like a bible, but I'm having fun with it anyway. The GPRS doesn't work (something about settings) but google is my friend, oh and Device Information is:
Rom: Pro Black 3.0.1
Radio: 1.16.00.00

I assume you are in scotland? In your profile you can save what carrier and location you are. Helps for others to know in case you need help.
There is a page around here somewhere that has connection settings for different carriers somewhere....
I'll add it to this post when I find it.

Its ok, I got the GPRS settings from this site by searching, its up and running now. I can surf the net, only problem I have now is, how to disconnect when done surfing. I guess I should RTFM
As for Device Info, yeah I'm gonna stick it in my sig

Concerned X1 owner.

Hello,
I am new here, and this is my first post to this forum, but I am pretty sure that it won't be last.
First I would like to thanks everyone in this forum, specially those who are keep thigs going on, so big thanks.
This forum is giving a lot of information, what is impossible to find anywhere else.
So let's move to my question.
I have Xperia X1, and I also noticed, that it won't get official update to Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM, which is really, really bad.
There is a lot unofficial Cooked 6.5 ROMs here in XDA-Developers-forum, and most of them is looking really good and interesting choice to my X1.
So, how I can be sure, that Cooked ROMs aren't include anything bad, I mean virus, spyware, malware or something like that?
Thanks all ready to everyone!
EX1T

Please, comment.
Please, doesn't anyone have any comments about this case?
Thanks
EX1T

you can never be sure anything you find on the Internet don't include such things
but virus, spy/malware don't port stuff made for pc's don't work on pocketpc's
and the market for windows mobile is too tiny for them to bother making it
there are but a hand full of such things made to run on pda and those are more proof of concept then really harmful
you could ask yourself why would the cookers who are private people like you can me
add things from that handful to the roms they make ?

Thanks Rudegar!
I know, that PC-viruses doesn't work on Windows Mobile platform, but there is still "programs" that will do something what I don't wanna risky to my phone.
Do you know, that is there some kind of Antivirus-program wich I can scan my phone after it is flashed with cooked ROM?
I know that there are AV-programs to WM6.1-platform.
Thanks,
EX1T

Hi there,
As my friend above says, there is no threat from spyware, virus etc on PPC, the only one that i ever came across years ago actually asked you if you wanted to install it, obviosuly the reply was "no thanks". I seriosuly would not worry about it, there are many AV programms for our devices which are a total waste of your money.
All of the chefs on xda are cooking for the masses, if you read the threads you would obviously see someone reporting such a thing. In my years here i have never seen such an incident happen.
Go ahead, read and flash to your hearts content. Always ensure when you can, that you have an official rom downloaded and ready should you have a bad flash or a bad experience

Thanks timmymarsh!
This makes me more comfortable to make cooked rom flash to my X1.

Developers please help to keep Herald ALIVE!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys , it is true that herald is somehow out dated but we can still keep it alive by new looking roms ,sorry i donnot mean to spam or ask for free labor ,we will donate , from me as far as i live in Iran ,we donnot have credit cards to donate but we can done it by clicking and supporting sponserd links
anybody interested in keeping him alive!?

I think I have breathed all the life into the Herald/Wing/Dopod that I can:
I have made the Wing look like Windows Phone 7 (with my Trib7 Suite), like the HTC Evo (with my SPB Snark Edition), like the HTC HD2 (with my TribM2D ROM Set) and I have made Titanium available for the Wing. Not only that I have made it light and fast with my Base ROM with more than 70MB of internal storage.
In retro spect, I hope that new and old users of the device provide more ROMs. But I don't think it is feasible..
Not because of the people using the devices - not at all - but because of the limit to the device's resources and because Microsoft won't be putting out anymore updates: Build 23676 is the latest and greatest from Microsoft as of the 14th of August. After this, I don't believe that there will be anymore updates to work with.
As a challenge, mate, I'd like to see people out there make a ROM with this build.

I'm personally waiting for android to be better completed and then jump completely over to that... which is wing linux.
Still, while the wm 6.x are a huge improvement over what came with the phone and was definitely worth it and appreciated... there are a few bugs that are annoying. It would be great to see those fixed but I don't expect it to happen. The current state is good enough to be better anyway.

I agree
Hi everyone
Dear Tribulattifather or may i call you "the king of the wing"
i have used your roms and they are all best. as you mentioned we have a limited resources ... i would like to cook new roms but 1 thing that i donnot know where to start , many threads but as a noob to cook i need some clear directions ,if you can point me a good direction so i will be the soldier for you ,
thanks again for care Tribulattifather

Your the best !
I found your guide about cooking roms ! the best developer ever ! i will try to put my ideas and make a new rom but not as a challenge !!!!

Thank you; I really appreciate your patronage.
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I was thinking about getting another Wing again. They're pretty cheap now.
If you make a ROM i'll test it out.

Thats good
Hi
Thanks ! is there any visual emulator of herald so it will help us preventing sudden bricking the phone ?
2- if i wanna use spb shell only i have to put it on cabs folder ?
thanks again

Well, if you plan on making custom firmware for your device you should HardSPL your phone.
But you actually don't need custom firmware for SPB.
There is unfortunately no emulator for our phones, however.

Thanks again .cuz i thought there was some emulator for hd2 , so i will try to collect as many icons as i can ! thanks again

Okay. Cool.
Hey, also, I just bought another Wing
So i'm ready whenever you are

ROM Comparison chart

I thought I'd leave you all with the ROM comparisons that I did when I was actively using my Universal. Half way through I upgraded to 128 MB, so this is reflected in some of the memory readings.
These are my own personal findings - I tested programs on the ROMs that I was interested in. Perhaps I'm opening a can of worms here, but I hope you find it useful.

Thanks Jonny!
Great information, will add to the FAQ
How do you feel with your new Rhodium?

My new rhodium is great - I'm not looking back! (Oops, perhaps I shouldn't have posted that here!). I know it doesn't run WP7, but there is certainly life in it yet (and I have a lot of bought programs which run on WM6.5 only, so I'm quite happy).

I enjoyed too my Rhodium!
And moved to Leo was a big shock for me coming from a real keyboard line devices...
I expect to go back to keyboard devices soon as I find a similar spec HTC device

Jonny could You paste this file with .xls extention? I don't have Office 2007 and i cannot get into it
Thx in advance
BR
buzolek

Ok, updated first post to include excel 2003 version Rom Compare3.xls

very useful information!thanks

Great
OMG...
You HAVE used your Uni buddy!
And I thought I was a serious user...still using though...nobody in my town knows what a 128 MB Uni means to me...will just keep it till I grow old.
I'm waiting for a really good WP7 piece...checked one HD7...but the software glithces.. or shortcomings are too many....let's see.

Hey kalya! nice to see you around
Perhaps would be wise to wait for Touch Pro 7

Great job!! Obrigado!

what next?
I don't know Orb...which would be my WP7 handset.
As always , win mo are dull,very down to earth,mature looking gadgets...they will never be fun and I accept that....
Just waiting for a great hardware & the new OS's perfect synchronisation.
Uni was it...we got maximum from it...but my country's mobile network never caught up with the handset.
Just waiting for it...hoping...HTC would almost deliver and I know XDA members will make it perfect.

Yes it´s true...
I have played with WP7 on my Leo and decided to go back to WM/Android as it´s to damn closed platform it seems like apple...
If WM is really dying which I doubt I think I go to Android instead...
Please let me know what you finally decide to upgrade
Cheers,

Maybe Galaxy Tab if nothing good comes out in the near future.
We win mo users don't want a new OS or high config devices as much we need really new --FRESH-- apps,but maybe the new apps reqire both the things..OS+new hardware.
Otherwise I stll have some of the handsets in my sig(and some nokia ones also)
