depends if you think in terms of 'closed source' development or the opportunity for other people to contribute.

of course there would be respect for bram - it just depends on how he balances his personal vanity over his need to help the community.

if he's not available for cooking due to bricking his phone then there should be no shame in sharing his work with the world, this would probably earn him more respect than sitting on a 95% complete rom for ages until HTC fix his phone. we might even see new cooks emerge from the experience they gain by peering into someone elses rom :cool:

we could probably have the rom fixed up by another one of the talented cooks who frequent this site without the need for donations, loaning a phone or even more time waiting.

my tip for anybody waiting for this rom is not to worry about it, there are plenty of other roms on these forums that could possibly be better than bram's rom (not that we would know, we have little to no details on it). shadow2 is pretty nice, as is blue elves 5 (which i flashed last night).

so bram, how about releasing this work to the world, let us see the foundations upon which this great rom was made and the progress made so far? or perhaps just carry on as normal and keep it to yourself.

and by the way, judging someone's views by the number of posts on a forum? get real.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Bram is into sharing.

But also it's understandable. When you do a personal rom it's your little baby. You get your hands dirty and flashed many time to test. You want to finish the job yourself.

He could finish the Rom but not test it.

He likes to release tested Roms and thats a good quality.

And if somone has only a view posts it's easy to read them and judge his level of knowledge. And then you make the judgement if you let the flower nourish itself or that you give it a drop of water....... Blah.

If been visiting XDA for over 5 years. But only an active poster the last year.

So yes it doesn't always say anything.

Hi Bram,

Sorry to hear that your device is dead. I've a 64/128 laying around here doing nothing accept collecting dust because I'm now using an 128/256. If you want you can borrow it, if you promise to return it of course when you've got yours back. You can pick it up if you want, if you live in R'dam I can bring it to you, but then I would like to see how you cook rom's (a small cook lesson ;-) )

Please let me know of you're interested.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:

Hey Bram meister...

Count me in voor 10 euries paypal donatie. Je levert puik werk dus daar mag wat tegen over staan. Eerste flash op m'n touch was tevens mijn laatste en deze bevalt me nog steeds uitermate goed (Touch Dual NLD 2.52 (2.20.707.1B). Ben zeer nieuwschierig naar je nieuwe "kindje". Doe me de gegevens van je paypal account en ik drop € 10,-

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jychan28:
Bram, I don't use your ROM (for the moment) but I hate to see you not able to go on to cook Touch ROM for other people. So I only contribute a small amount and hope you don't mind. Touch is not cheap, you have a long road ahead if you use my contribution as reference.:rolleyes: Hope there are many more generous members in the forum.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] savale:
as promised: 10 euro :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Timminater:
Bram, if you want you can get free hosting for your roms from me, i have a 100 mbits server in amsterdam. I can host your roms so you won't need to place them on rapidshare (because some people hate that)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Hey if I donate....

Can i borough your spare if mine get's Broken and of to repair to ;)

I agree with your view on donations, But some people do run extra changes of bricking their device and it's not bad if the community helps out.

Now how did PayPal Work Again.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Haha, i am collecting for a new touch, my old one is broken.

Meanwhile you can consider adding your experience in Language customisation into making the Ultimate ELF/ELFIN Kitchen?

So Language packs can be added to the Kitchen.

It's going to destroy your reputation as Cook as you won't be needed as cook anymore once it's finished.

And would you stop it with the donating back stuff?

I'm sure i speak for every donator when I say we are happy to chip in a few bucks for great roms.

Don't think of it as payment, think of it as as pat on the back for good work.

If you make a few bucks more than you need for a new device, go have few pints!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] sas_sas:
no offence

Hi folks,

Forgive me, I did not catch the heck here.

I have been following this topic hoping to meet the TouchSurface new ROM but, I got sick and tired.

It is obvious that there are plenty ROMs around cooked with WM6.1, and they happily discuss the technical issues there, but 71 pages here, It seems the discussion is only about collecting the donation of one touch money.

Is not it a little shameful..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Shamefull to who? I cant continue to build my rom, because my touch is broken. So these guys here are willing to donate to me for a new touch, and when i have the touch i can continue building on my rom.

I cant talk about technical stuff of my wm 6.1 rom here if i aint got the chance of testing it on a device...

If you don't like to read this thread, read another one. And i'll inform you when i got a new touch so we can talk technical here.

Help

Bram,

Please help me, I am the owner of a dutch elf0100 and did something stupid. I tried to upload a elfin rom. About half way thru the upload process the connection was terminated (probably when the ROM of the elf was full). Now the elf only starts up into "smart mobility" screen. After this nothing happens.

I tried to re-run loads of different ROM's. Also the various original dutch ROM's. I can get it into bootloader and try. All ROM's stop at 3% when the phone hard resets itself. I also tried a lot of ROM's via the SD card method with ELF0IMG.nbh but get message invalid certivicate. The phone was an non branded dutch phone.

IPL 1.11.0002

SPL1.11.0000

The original factory ROM I don't have but a while ago I did upload and use,

Blue_Touch_2.20WWE_Build_18521_4MBPP_V2.01

Since WM 6.1 came out I tried to upload a newer rom a couple of days ago. That is where I messed up.

What to do now?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Please read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=345778 carefully

And then use this original rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=345778 to do the magic.

Don't forget to CID unlock after this original rom. After that you can flash to an other rom again.

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vol123:
I was hoping but.......

.....downloaded the ROM and tried to install it:

message after 2% of running the upload:

Error 294 - Invalid Vendor ID.

I also exported it via RAR and used ELF0IMG.nbh to try via SD card, not even invalid certificate error, it just goes into bootloader and nothing happens (ofcrouse only when I press the photo and on/off button while hard resetting it).

What now?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Hhmmzz, i ment this thread

After this the elf resets and again gets stuck in smart mobility.

I hard reset the phone and pressed the camera button. This makes it go to the bootloader. Then tried to install the stated ROM:

Again the same error, 294 - invalid vender ID. (not misspelled by me, it really states "vender")

Any ideas?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Well i will upload the rom i use to rescue my elf from a early passing away.

did you left the mtty program open while trying to flash the device? in my case it only works when it's still open. And did you close the activesync connection ? (i think you did but just to be on the safe side)

I will post the link to the rom a soon as i uploaded it.

update:

Greetz
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vol123:
Thanks and Thanks!

I tried it again with mtty open, just to be sure. But still error. I will try with your ROM once uploaded. :)

PS: I did close the activesync usb thing yes.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vol123:
What has changed is that I now have RUU at the top right of the screen in bootloader, I haven't seen that before there.

:( After downoading and trying it again the 294 "Invalid Vender ID" message.

Hard reset the device, the RUU in right top was gone and tried the last ROM again but again 294 "Invalid Vender ID" message

Tried mtty and the last ROM (left Mtty on) and still 294 "Invalid Vender ID" message.

More options?

PS: During the upload the phone ROM updater has the ability to show what is on the device, on my device it never shows anything. So it looks like there is nothing on the device.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Battery Status has been updated today.

It has a delayed Plug In start especially for ELFIN.

And this first version i've made a new package for 0.05.001

Doesn't need xml files for skin

http://rapidshare.com/files/93810824/000_BTSTATUS_0_05_001.7z

Cooks please Test for Boot freezes it should be gone.

Making new package for 1.05 version next hour but first test flash this one.

So hopefully good news.

1.05 Version will be in Class thread only as this version has xml skins so it needs some tested for being cooked.

Does anyone have more options what to do, last night I tried at least 28 different ROM's. This includes the "official" HTC ROM's that I found in this forum. I was supposed to need the official dutch non branded one but the once I tried give me "incorrect vender ID". Others give me "the image is corrupt" error.

I do have spl 1.11.0000 and ipl 1.11.002 but when running mtty I also have "g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF" (doesn't this mean the elf0100 is still locked????).

Anyone who is able to help me and fix my Touch will get a reward (ofcourse I descide what) :-)
