Database Develop

Hey You! Yeah You! Check This Out...

Please DONATE to ITJE for his hardwork and contribution to your devices. It is my understanding that I am the ONLY person who's donated to him, and that's very sad, considering what he does for you, and for free on a daily basis here.
For the longest time, ITJE refused to take donations, and people convinced him to ... now nobody is donating to him... That's ridiculous.
Keep in mind, that without ITJE, none of the other cooks would have even known where to start... and it was ITJE who made the How to build your own Rom tutorial ... and he has answered questions to everyone who was trying to learn how to make roms.
Many of you probably have no idea how long it takes to build roms on here... so even if you only send $5 or $10 ... please show your support and appreciation.... that way ITJE knows he's appreciate when he's getting screamed at by his wife for spending countless hours on the computer working for free to make YOUR phone work better.
SO PLEASE DO ITJE A FAVOR AND SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION FOR WHAT HE DOES AND

Hey, I didn't learn to cook from him. But I did learn how to decompile a ROM from that post.
It's sad to hear that he's not cooking anymore, but I don't blame him. He's not the only cook that feels like cooking is not worth our time. We put our life on hold to cook and I think it's time for a new generation of cooks to take over. (Which thankfully, there are some starting to now.) I may have a few new ROMs left in me, though.
Unfortunately, we can never control those people who wish to make a profit out of our sweat, so things like that will always happen. If they want to steal, they will steal. :-/

well.. i think i do the correct thing by contact him coz i've seen the post in eBay (ive searching for a Herald/T-mo wing device cuz herald that i have here is bricked) and appears his rom and i feel bad cuz he spents a lot of time by researching and creating that for us, the xda-dev community and isnt good seeing a boy that earns money for that.. its quite bad, sometimes i felt bad by that, but i think i do the correct thing
I think im responsable by the action of ITJE... sorry

@ duprade
second that... this **** that happend at the moment is very sad
@ itje
(usually i dont wrote to who i donate) but just to make it clear, the 3Euros you mention in the other threat was from me... i know its not much but that was all i´ve got on the acount at the moment... next week i make an another donation for a bigger candybar
by the way... here a still people that estimate the good work from a good cook!
sorry for my bad english... i hope its enough

Is this the spirit of xda?

I think you know where it's all about:
Rom bribe-gate!
I think theres something on here that must not see daylight:
Theres a guy named RUFFRUFF who claimes to be bribed by someone to not share the roms of the td2 and the tp2.
And theres someone who deletes all posts from everyone who share those roms, and someone whos deleting the evidence that someone gets bribed.
There must be a mod who's knwing from this and deletes all threads(no-one can do that but a mod)
And I and many with me have a clue:
This is a post from me in another thread:
Yes i noticed it too: it seems like the guy Ruffruff is bribed by someone.
And dutty is the only one with this roms right now... pretty strange that its dutty who's deleting all the other posts here with those roms...
And check this:
this i found in the thank you part on dutty rom page:
As always I want to just say thanks to XDA-Developers and everyone who has contributed my whole existing of start making ROMS. Thanks goes to as follows;

For me this a a hard fact as we can see in the google cache///
Please mods do something about this crap!!
The first time i was getting on xda there was a "share all, conquer all mentality".
I left a year ago with the complaint that every cook closes up their roms so noone can dump it, and asks much money with it.
Now i come back and someguy is paying gusy for not share the roms so he's benefitting from it... Strange behaviour that hurt me in my xda heart!
Do something about it, and ban the guys who **** our community up!

U asked for evidences. Arent the evidences enough you SEE ON FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD ? yes DUTTY deletes posts where roms are shared. WHAT OTHER EVIDENCE YOU WANT ?
He publicly said on this forum he did it (ON REQUEST) but we dont care if a source gets deleted on request or not.

Knowledge has value only when shared.

amazing ...
what the hell Oo is going on??
Iss that True ?!

NOW Old spirit of xda (sharing fol all people) is dead!
PLEASE GO BACK!

That is strange indeed.
,,,, I thought the XDA community was built on sharing, This should be discouraged heartily

sadness and delusion !
no words

This topic is getting really interesting by the hour...

Easy, easy....
Sharing isn't dead, may be is sleeping in someone, but 99% of the members ARE sharing knowledge here.
Mods are evaluating the facts and if it will be possible (and if something was accidentally deleted) things will be restored but the main words are easy, calm down.
Even MODs are people (unbelievable uh?) we have jobs, families to feed, some funny activities apart from XDA DEVs activities, and we need some time to evaluate the facts, discuss and share ideas when something big happened.
Believe me, the strongest feeling in our group is KNOWLEDGE SHARING, together with BUILDING A NICE PLACE TO STAY.
Give us some time, enjoy what you have here we are here to improve and help this unique place!

... and it'll lead nowhere but to the bashing of others. Tempaorarily closing down the thread to prevent any further misassumptions that we're not sure of.

Admins / Mods: Can we know the status of the ROMs from the chefs...

Hello Admins / Mods,
I opend this thread to see if we can get an update on the situation that has been going on for the past 24 hours with regard to the sharing issue. Many of the chefs have decided to discontinue their ROM development work due to this.
Myself along with a lot of other HD users (I hope) are very eager to know when things would get back to normal. I kept visiting this section frequently to see if there is any new information on this situation, but unfortunately there isn't any.
So, please let us know if ROM development for Blackstone is going to continue or did the cooks really leave XDA. If they did leave as they have mentioned, it a huge loss to this community and I think the Admins and the Mods must do what ever it takes to convinience them to share their work within XDA.
Due to the action of a few individuals... this great community should not suffer.
Please let us know the status.
Davideuck / kwbr / Laurentius26 / HelloNasty / pzucchel / robertus3d / texture / panosha / pzucchel / duttythroy (sorry if I missed someone) - You are all a GREAT asset to this community and we love your work and you are the reason we love our devices even more.
Please resolve your differences and I hope things get back to being normal and exiting.

i am a 100% with you!

Firstly, I am sympathetic with the rest of the staff, but I will not stop, I like to do
Roms, investigate, but never stop!
Because I like!! Never received any donation in blackstone! But life continues ... Spend large hours a day!!!
Thanks to everyone who like my job!

Im a mod on a car site based in the UK. We had a situation where a member was ripping off other members via our 'for sale' section. We investigated and kept our member informed. It doesnt take much and im disappointed it hasn't happened here.
Frankly if this site doesn't respond very soon, in a satisfactory way (I.E not in an aggressive or arrogant way), then its not the sort of place i want to be. It will certainly reflect badly on the WM community, it may make me regret my decision to move over from Symbian. Indeed the quality of the community often guides my choices in automotive and AV.
Im not saying the cookers owe us anything (im happy with my ROM) and i support them if they have been wronged, but after investing money in my Blackstone id like to know my options.

I'm one of "Autocensored" cookers and only thing I can say is:
Yesterday someone paid a user to avoid sharing of new topaz rom... for this me, DavideUck, Infido and others had protested stopping our development until the sharing priority will be guarantee...
EDIT: I forgot to say that Mods are hepling us to much to understand what's happened and really soon the truth will overcome

Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.

I'm sure it will get back to normal pretty soon.....

Personally I am very greatly to all cooks and mods for there hard work and I always donate to the cook of which ROM I choose.
It will be a sad day to lose any cooks due to these unfortunate circumstances.
I look forward to everything going back to normal, and hopefully people will learn that this site is for the cummnity!!!

This clearly is a most unfortunate situation and I can understand how many of the cooks, mods and members alike are becoming upset. This said, can I appeal to those same people not to bring this bad feeling into the rom threads themselves. Despite the mods repeatedly saying they will sort out the situation as quickly as possible, certain people continue to bombard the threads with aggressive accusations which cannot serve any purpose. I myself was accused of taking back handers last night because I tried to get the thread back on topic! I mean really! I wouldn't mind but I've not seen a penny
The rom threads should be for help and bug reports and that alone! Threads such as this one are the perfect opportunity to raise other issues.
The saddest thing about this is some of the cooks who are upset are inadvertently doing what they are accusing others of in not sharing, by discontinuing their work here.
In the year I've been a member here, I've downloaded and enjoyed numerous roms from many of the cooks here and I've enjoyed being part of a great community. It breaks my heart to see that same community crumbling before my eyes
C'mon guys, can we not try to work through this like the adults we are and get back to being the best god damn HTC forum on the planet?

All joking aside, this is what I was talking about though. People are getting carried away now and it's starting to get in the way of people genuinely seeking help. Can I perhaps suggest to a politely worded PM sent out to all members, asking for a little patience and consideration at this time?

Ok, here is the story...
Dutty's V1.8 ROM was from the new HTC ROM from (Dimond2 or Touch Pro2). Other chefs were hoping that he would dump that ROM. But, Dutty said that he was not going to share this new HTC ROM (Topaz) since he promised his source that he would not.
After couple of days, a few chefs were suppose to come out with their next ROM versions with this Topaz ROM build. But then, suddenly, who ever was suppose to sare this ROM with these chefs, told them in PM that some one Paid him money not to share this new Topaz with the XDA chefs. So he decided not to.
Now the chefs who were waiting for this ROM dump, got really pissed and decided not to share their own work within XDA until the admins and the Mods of XDA make it clear that sharing made the core principle within the XDA community.
Facts:
- Dutty was the one only one who had this new HTC ROM and he decided not to share it with anyone else for his own reasons as he explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=484867
- Someone "claims" got paid by someone else not to sare the new ROM with the chefs within XDA as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3373252&postcount=1842
- Most of the Blackstone chefs decided to Discontinue their curren work and/or leave the XDA community until stuff is shared by everyone here for the benifit of the community.
Peace OUT!

After reading this, another possibility is that Dutty too was payed not to share...
And maybe he is not the one who paid?

Everybody is a cooking master these days?

Pretty wierd, Itje has been in-active for a couple of days (probably due to easter) and all of a sudden everybody is "releasing" roms like its there speciality?
And when i read these threads and somebody askes a simple thing as "are you putting youtube in it?" i see answers like "it is pretty hard to get youtube up and running, i dont know how to do that"..
Is this something everybody wants to see? Imo cooking/releasing roms should be done only by people who have the knowledge and knowhow off everything.

If they want to try to cook, why not?
It's only a win-win situation
They learn more & have more experiences and maybe they'll even getting better than Itje

very very succinctly put..
jerpeleas kitchen is very very simple to use.
and is perfect for creating that "personal rom"
unfortunately, whats happening is what often happens, and is that everyone suddenly decides to throw out that personal rom for public consumption.
now i think its great that people are trying things out, but i do think, ladies and gentlemen that you should keep your experiments a bit more "internal" at least till you understand what you're doing a bit better..
please??

Agreed. Glad to see more cooks or more people willing to learn to cook. But sad to see lots of them either unfinished, or not tested fully w/ lots of bugs here and there. And I don't see any unique features/characteristic/fixes among most of them since all are based on the same kitchen without going into details to learn and create.

In other words, people, if you wanna try to cook your own roms thats your own choice, but stop the posting on the forums if there arent any new feautures/bug fixes in it.

alway nice to see more people cooking.
but like myself i cooked a rom with jerpelea's kitchen.
i twisted and turned allot over and made it to my personal favors.
but i won't release for public just because it is to my own taste and i know that allot of peoplehere have different choises and willings.
it's great that cooking is made easy for everybody but if you don't have the real knowledge like our first timer chefs keep it for yourself and enjoy it as much as you can!
but hey..
that's just me

The word is not "cook" kids: it's READ and SEARCH.
Spread the word
I cook
You cook
He cooks
She cooks
We cook
You cook
They cook
But jerpelea is the biggest cooker of them all !!
Been cooking since january over WinMo 6.5, nothing worth sharing yet... until jerpelea uploaded his kitchen and I solved 6 weeks of problems in 6 minutes:
I eagerly read all 49 pages of his suggestions/tips, and included a couple of his packages into my own recipe, now I can fire the oven

yup I've been cooking my own for a while now, but I've never released one.. mostly as I do it to learn more..

ive made 6.5/manila2 roms but havnt uploaded them because of this whole situation.
I do think however its better that ppl make their own roms and learn more about their phones then being a drone to somone else.
Its too bad that some in the past ruined it for some to truelly learn what needs to be changed in some cases. because alot of cooks are protecting their roms. so disecting their rom to see whats really in it is a bit harder then normal.
not speaking down to itje or about him. but if we were able to truely dissasemble his rom we could find out why myfaves doesnt work.
but cooking my own rom i got myfaves working but using jerpelea kitchen i get dumb little bugs

That's not what I mean. But I wish new cooks instead to rush out a buggy rom (especially for 6.5 which is still beta and still with lots of issues w/ X1), could spent more time in clean up and bugfix, then release an tested and quality rom. It just a waste of time of you and your users if your rom is too buggy to be useful. Or released roms w/ features/softwares w/ bugs and issues that you don't have idea how to get them fix.

I kinda like to see all the new ROMS out. We went from 1 or 2 to a bunch. Granted there are a lot of buggy ROMS and people should do a lot more searching and more beta testing but being one of the new cooks i can see the reason for trying to release it. Some people use there phones completely differently that you do so i would think that others would find bugs that you don't. I know when i released my lite rom there were issues that i never even thought of trying so i had like 5 versions in like 2 weeks.
Most people don't add new features because a lot of the stuff is hard to come by in my opinion that is. They just release a different take on the programs and features.
I dunno just my take....

I am not sure if this is his true intention. But you got to understand this is the side effect that the Bepe's kitchen he use (which is a lot more effieicent and easy to manage, and I start to use it as well since my V3.x series).
In fact, Itje is very generous in sharing what he could share in the Chef sharing thread, or his own threads w/ the helps from Fards, Akp99 (man, how come I don't have such an helpful team???). All you need is search, or ask the right man.

I have seen the same thing..
I welcome new chefs..its all good, but as said before, its not the "real" work of chefs, its more a "Ikea" sollution, buy/get the kitchen parts..put it together and use it at home...
And as jack said, please guys keep making roms..its cool..but rather then releasing roms that others has made (Jerpelea) try to make one from scratch...
I must also admit with this new wave of chefs, it also keeps getting very annoying that many of the new rom makers keep sending pm's, e-mails and adds me to msn. It didnt bother me at start, but now Its getting pretty frustrating.
And I am not even allowed to say no, they keep on coming asking for everything I know, everything I got..and if I say no, im a cocky mofo who wants to be the topchef all by himself..etc etc
I have to be rude, and I have to put ppls requests down. If not, I would not have time to do make new roms, because I was personally guiding everyone else.
That IS NOT why im here. I have no interest at all beeing a teacher...I can share stuff, but then I also like to get something back (not talking donations here) and that is a more respectful tone, specialy when I decline helping.
But, I try to point ppl in the right directions..telling them what to look for or where to find a thread with the stuff they need..usually that is not enough...cause they keep coming back asking what to look for....
But then I dont reply, because if you cant find it, then you can find another hobby..and that I dont back up on..
I have been searching this forums, so many times for new stuff, to learn new things, and I STILL DO.
I help if I can, I share when I can..but dont add me to msn to ask for cooking help. Cause you wont get it..sorry.
I know this post can be considered a bit off topic..but then again, its not..cause that is whats happening "behind the scene" of all the new "chefs"
Im sorry if this offends anyone..and im sure there is ppl among the new guys that are gonna get way better then me in this...after all, its just a hobby

I dont like ppl dissambling my roms
I tried for some time to have open roms..damn I even left in the rgus, so ppl could dump the rom and recook for personal use..
But what they didnt know was that I hid some small codes in the base of the rom
So when suddenly new roms started popping up..from ppl claiming it was their own work...can you guys guess what I found in the roms???? nahhhh..guess one more time
Then I made some "rules" Do not recook and release my roms, or I will protect them...
To bad..it still happened...
So I locked my roms, and if ppl dont like it...I dont care

Oh please don't take what ive said the wrong way. I understand the reasoning behind it.
not to be that guy but i still get the files i need from ur rom. like new images for replacement of the old green highlights.
but i also respect your work to not release anything as i understand how time consuming it is.
as i used to skin for psp's and windows mobile 6 and 6.1 standard neo and sliding panel home screens.

I have to say I've been reading this thread with particular interest, as I could be considered one of the "chefs" Itje is talking about as I recently asked him to point me in the direction of how to create ROMs. I personally found in all the custom ROMs that I tried several different little tweaks or something that I didn't use and wouldn't use and all I can say to people is, unless you've created a new TF3D or something HUGE then don't publicise ROMs - Once i eventually learn how to create on, I will simply use it just to create a ROM that is PERFECT for ME - and then I will work on creating something spectacular!
And that's my 15minutes of fame for the day

P.S. I've just re-read the post and there is no hidden meaning in what I said regarding asking Itje! I know it sounds like there is, but there's not !

I'll open it out a little more: If anyone can help a long-time reader, small-time poster (ME!) and point me in the direction of how to create a custom ROM I'll be ever grateful
thanks

I have to say I've been reading this thread with particular interest, as I could be considered one of the "chefs" Itje is talking about as I recently asked him to point me in the direction of how to create ROMs. I personally found in all the custom ROMs that I tried several different little tweaks or something that I didn't use and wouldn't use and all I can say to people is, unless you've created a new TF3D or something HUGE then don't publicise ROMs - Once i eventually learn how to create on, I will simply use it just to create a ROM that is PERFECT for ME - and then I will work on creating something spectacular!
And that's my 15minutes of fame for the day

dont worry, im not aiming at any person...but its a typical thing...its the same over and over again...same way

I dont see any problems in all these new roms. If there is nothing special, people wont be interested so that the "problem" will be solved by itself.

Yes, I'm an Ikea cook, as Itje said. I'm only ever after a bare-bones ROM with whatever XIP\SYS improvements updates may provide.
I once published one of my "Ikea assembly" efforts for my earlier Eten X500, acknowledging the base was from PDAVIET, and was inundated with requests, complaints etc etc. So now I just use these Ikea efforts.
Question: does anyone know why official ROM updates seem never to use NETCF3.5 over v2.xx ?
V3.5 has been available for well over 18 months now

Smaberg's ROM is great and a lot of people loved it. To me, I really want him to continue making his ROM as it is the one that I found that really works for me. He is retiring because some people doesn't appreciate his work and would send him PMs talking crap about his work. He works really hard even though that his X1 went to heaven and most of us really do appreciate that. This has nothing to do with money all we wanted is for him to continue on this ROM and people should show some gratitude and help him out like how he help us out. Same for all the Chefs here in XDA and not just Smaberg. People should show some appreciation to all that is working hard here in XDA and people shouldn't criticize other people's work. Everyone should be supporting each and everyone here at XDA.

We need you Smaberg!! Don't go away man..
It is my first post in this forum, but I use your ROMS since Touch-X 6.1. I never had a post because I search and try to solve the problems myself.
My first post is for you Smaberg, please, stay.. Keep the amazing work dude!
I used almost all ROMS in this forum, and I have to say that your ROMS are the BEST SO FAR!!
Here in Brazil, the X1-guys loves you tooo!!!!!
WE NEED YOU MAN!!

I would like him back, and I personally support the banning of people who sent him the abusive PMs.
Also, I will try and donate a bit. I can never give much sadly. I don't live off a lot =(

Smaberg for president. His ROM's are the best. Donation is on it's way

This is the reason smaberg is leaving:

hello friends, i will try to make this short...
i recive so many requests and pm and many many questions aday, so just answering them takes a good hour or two.
There are a few people that appritiate my work that they donated me a sum between a dollar and up, but 99 percent is thoose who just download then expect 100 percent support and changes to ROM. they even request changes, addons and moore.
So im pretty fed up with this situation, so im going to retire and let go of ROM COOKING. And to thoose who asked, no i have not gotten that many donations that i could by me a new one, so basicly its very hard to develop roms and give support without having one, and the amount of questions, memos is just too much, i spend about 6hours aday on this formum answering questions, making mods, roms, addons, and much moore, getting nothing in return.
so if i find a good cook i will give away my kitchen.
so goodbye everyone, ive enjoyed your comments on this thread, but as above so much work and so small amounts of donations, i have gotten together 180euro, so i cant even by myself the X1...
