Is it possble to post here the new tool?

Thanks..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Here it is :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dinoalbert:
thanks again, bro!

I hope new cooked ROMs will now include this new version :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rich rob:
Honestly, I am noob. And have no idea how to install this cab. Any help for a noob?

EDIT: found the advance config wiki... should have searched in the first place. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cyberblue:
Schap, you're the best! we all love you man :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjkhattak61:
Thanks Schap's u r the Man.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shoaibz:
Schap surely is the Man!!!! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
Sorry to hear about your hard drive. I have lost so much of my writings and music (I actually make music) from hard drive losses. Years of hard work down the drain in a matter of minutes.

The ones I need to recover are in storage currently but no less than 5 minutes ago I ran across this program that is suppose to be able to recover the info even from a hard drive that can't be detected by windows.

May be it will work for you Schaps. Let me know. Make sure not to install the program on the drive you want to recover (if Windows can see the drive).

http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-products.htm

GetDataBack for NTFS V3.50

Recover your files when the data is no longer accessible due to formatting, fdisk, virus attack, power or software failure. Get everything back even when the drive's partition table, boot record, Master File Table or root directory is lost or corrupt. The demo version allows you to recover 5 files for FREE!

Please let me know if it works if you use it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrtkts:
shaps pls tell me what device should i buy?

hi shaps,

as known your roms are extremely perfect. so i use what you make. but now i think to sell my hermes and buy new ppc. so i would like to learn, for which device are you going to cook rom?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thunda_chunky:
If I may, the new UI is not ROM or device specific. It is only a new User Interface. Think of it as a new "jacket" of sorts for your phone. I'm pretty sure Schaps' UI can be used on any device but on his site it says it is being programmed for the Hermes, Kaiser, the Diamond, and the Touch Pro. No one can really you what phone to get. That's really a personal decision.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] astrauss:
You don't mention the details of the HDD crash so I'm not sure it will work, but Spinrite (a grc.com product) normally works wonders on "dead" drives, that's if the mobo BIOS can still see the drive.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Delphi:
Hey Schaps, any chance for a german version of the new one or the older 4.30?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RideTheTube:
Hey Shaps,

do you think you can release this weekend?

thx for response
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thumbava:
Hay.. this is cool..

Hay scrap,

this is awesome..

By the way, is this ROM only for HTC? Or can it work on other windows mobile too. I have O2 XDA Zinc..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Tisnt a rom, its a UI. So, should work on any WM phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RideTheTube:
I thought this is a new rom with a new UI because its only working for Tytn,TytnII and Diamond/Diamond Pro
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
I think hes cooking for those devices, but the UI itself might be available in a cab.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galaxys:
His UI is still in beta & not available yet as a cab...wish it was. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
It looks fantastic, but, I hope he puts it out on its own, not just cooked in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galaxys:
Yeah me 2, I think he'll put it out like his Advanced Config in a cab for most devices...keep our fingers crossed!

Edit: speaking of the Config, Schaps just released Advanced Configuration Tool 3.1!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RideTheTube:
any new information shaps?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cerbero:
yea still waiting fir this great rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schaps:
Unfortunately I still don't have a new PC, but I should get a new one soon. So you can imagine it's hard for me to progress in the project and keep you updated. Even though I'm still working on TouchXperience - as I can - but I've done a big step since last month (I will try to give you soon more details) and I'm near to beta stage, so as soon as I get a PC you could expect a beta in the next days.

For your patience I released a new version of Advanced Config, as usual download Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 here and enjoy! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Thank you schaps! has this fixed the problem with importing XML's? Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schaps:
Which problem are you talking about? provxml importation have been always working.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
The problem is that, after importing a XML, it causes the icons in the program's menu to go.. how shall i put it, 1 per 2 lines.

And IE cant connect, It has happened to a few people, I tested it, and it defo seems to happen when i import the XML.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schaps:
That's strange... At least for icons in program menu you can restore default values for vertical/horizontal spacing.

In this case try to export only the settings you need.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Thank you! Ill redo my XML.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] farres:
I also found this odd mixing in the icons of the CommMngr settings.

Schap's work is much appreciated though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schaps:
This is a glitch of version 3.0 and has been fixed since, try to install the lastest version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] farres:
I checked the change logs on your website and I knew that it was fixed :p I was a bit late to check it. stay tuned! thank you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shackas:
Shaps, pls tell me when this new rom realease ? pls
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RideTheTube:
There will be a beta the next days....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] charissma:
Great Stylus Work

i'm from Greece and i wonder if you can create your new rom to greek lang. too if it's not so much trouble............... many many thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shackas:
Tnx A LOT :))))
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] radkal:
been waiting too long....its not that important. im over it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
It looks like a dam cool UI, im still looking forward to it myself :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RideTheTube:
I´m sure if its out, you´re crazy about it^^:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
I know this takes a while but it was supposed to be out in June.... I've been waiting and waiting for this os but it just doesn't seem to be coming.... I hope it does eventually arise for the Hermes as it may, at this point, skip to the later models of phones and miss us altogether....:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fredline12002:
lol you and everybody else...do you have a computer to donate?;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
Geez, if you had of asked me that 3 days ago..... Just gave it to my little sister....:p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chamelion:
wow, people still waiting for this? i feel like it was a different chapter of my life. it was my first experience with vapourware!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] code_warrior:
That's right you parasites...

DONATE! Send money to Schaps, he is working hard for you! He is dedicated to his work and will not release garbage!

His work is very complicated and he does this because of his devotion to the WM operating system and the HTC users.

Why do you constantly post that you will not wait...go. Didn't he post some slick videos of his work. Aren't you convinced? Do you need to see more? So what if he promised by June, even Microsoft does this. Remember how long it took for Vista to ship? And finally it was shipped as it should, bug free and totally compatible. Do you send mean spirited e-mails to Bill Gates.

Send Schaps money so he will finish sooner.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nostabo:
Yes sir, Vista is a wonder to behold! And was worth the wait, and as we waited features were removed or scaled down. And during this time did Bill Gates beg for money to continue his work? Only lawyers and prostitutes ask for payment in advance, and with good reason they say.

Look here to see how easy it is to create fake images (even with MS Paint):

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cerbero:
wtf u wanna tell us with that?..shaps is a faker?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
hmm

People seems to be confused, the title of this thread has changed from I believe originally Schap's new ROM, to Schap's new ROMs INTERFACE ...

so yeah, I don't think he's gonna bother cooking for the hermes when he now is cooking for other devices, and yet he still need to test this INTERFACE with cross platform compatibilities which is difficult as he has only one device and relies on his comrades to report bugs. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Hes just a hater who keeps talking rubbish about vaporware, ignore him.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nostabo:
Did I write that?

Hmmm, it doesn't look like that, but maybe you are just using your head and filtering out the BS?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] code_warrior:
Yes, yes ignore the man behind the curtain.

He is a hater! Schaps will prevail, the new INTERFACE will be available soon. You just wait. June was only 3 months ago, good things need time to cook.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
He is doing this for free as well!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
I see your point, but I am also sick of seeing freeloaders, I don't see nobody saying thanks to anyone anymore, 1000 odd downloads for anryl's flash lite 3.1 cab, over 40000 downloads for schap's advance config tool, wtf, just gettin real sick of it. This site is a testing ground for MS sure, but if you are happy with something donating does not hurt anyone, and it is good for the soul. These people spend countless hours on interface design, ROM development/porting hell, if the anyone who downloads donate a mere one dollar!

Come on, where is the spirit. It is as good as a full time job, doing these sorta things. And to be honest, I don't see many thanking going.

Peace!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schaps:
Vaporware... I'm begging for money like a prostitute... I'm a faker... OK one more word and I think that TouchXperience for Hermes will be really vaporware! I'm sorry to say that but I'm really upset with those ungrateful comments and PM I have to read, while I dedicate my free time for this project.

I've never beg for money, did I say that you have to pay in advance to get TouchXperience? No I told you clearly TouchXperience will be free! But there are some nice people who donate and encourage others to do so, to encourage me and help me to invest for this project. And there are other people who are not smart enough to understand that I need time and material to work, and without a computer it's hard to progress in such a big project. You don't realize what a big task it is to develop this UI, it is much more complex than the most advanced shell available for WM devices! I desperately notice that people who donate are the most patient, whereas people who are complaining will never give a cent for my work...

I would like to thank one more time donators who support me and believe in me, and I would like to reassure them, whatever will be my final decision about this, they will get what they expect from me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
I dont blame you one bit, the lack of gratatude on this forum atm makes me feel a bit sick.

All the hard work chefs put in, yet people, dont post to thank people, they just seem to demand fixes and stuff, this is a hobby for us all, its fun, they are giving up a lot of there free time, as you are to do fantastic things for us!

If i had loads of disposable income, I would love to pass it around to everyone who has done so much work, and whos work I have enjoyed.

But, alas, I am but a poor student, though I am sure there are many, who would have no problem parting with £10, but feel, as its free, why bother!

Comments like vaporware, make me even more sick, its been explained why you have been slowed, if they had send you a new computer, they can moan, otherwise, shut up and dont say anything if you dont have anything nice to say!

[/rant over]
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] savin:
schaps, Dont listen tho people who have no idea how tough this task is.

The critics are those who have never cooked a rom or designed anything.

Neither do they ever donate.

You just take your time and when you are done we will see you unveil the best new interface available this side of Pluto.

Moderators should be looking after ungrateful idiots or they will risk losing their best authors.

.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
lol, I am not talking about 10 mate, just 1 per download, schaps can buy his computer 10 times over.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Well.. I suppose, but £10 still isnt much as well..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ErMeglio:
Bah, I can't but express all my sorrow after reading those crazy posts.

Perhaps people live in another world where anything is the opposite...

I don't think they even deserve an answer.

Oh and after reading all this, after having used many of your ROMs and actually being here to wait for your new creature (if my Hermes will continue to be with me, as it's actually dieing:(...and I'm looking for a Diamond, Raphael or Kaiser) I thought you would totally deserve a donation, so I've just sent you my (mere, I know) 5€ ;)

Thanks for your great work and support!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nostabo:
There you go...

...the poor supporters of Schap who "donated" for a Hermes compatible version, you could lose your "investment" on the whim of your "developer". Hmmm rather temperamental and vindictive, wouldn't you say? Just one more word (as he suggests) from me (or another detractor) and your donations are worthless. That is unless you upgrade your device to one he does support.

If you are accepting "donations" what is free about it. You working for wages...as low as you might claim they may be it is still income. Who really knows how much money you've already raked in besides you?

Please don't play the victim. You are the one that set the original release time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
@nostabo, I don't get where you are going with this, I don't see YOU doing something for the community, I see 36 posts of 30% insults.

I see you as a FREELOADER as I said before. If you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all.

I am waiting for 20748 build with working PIE functionality yet I am not hounding or being disrespectful to the chef/s. Each hermes are different so does each ROM.

And schap's is trying to get them to work cross platform and cross devices. WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

get a life.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nostabo:
And what kind of rule is this? Does your mommy treat you that way?

I see that you take "donations", too?

...can I take donations, too?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] farres:
go keep playing with your nintendo kid... if you come back here, you will lose points and soon it's gonna be GAME OVER
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
ha ha ha ... man YOU have one sad life to be WAITING for this and TRYING to aggravate people here.

I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU, (NOT)

There are TONS of UIs out there!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
You are a fool, a ignorant, blind fool.

He said that, I hope you can read well enough to understand.

Hes accepting donations, your not FORCED to donate, he will still make it if NO ONE donates, it just makes him work harder, and makes him feel appreciated, and if hes done fantastic work for us, to make our devices better, well he deserves some money for it!

Your just a troll, pleases take it somewhere else, we dont want you here, it doesn't help this community, which was founded on sharing what we know, for the good of everyone. (And accepting donations, is FAR better than forcing you to pay for it, even though, this fantastic looking piece of software im sure could command a good price! And he has also said he has rejected offers from people to buy him out!)

If you have done something worthwhile for the site, if you have given many hours of your time to help people, then yes.

I have, for spending quite some time walking people though things via pm had some myself, and i really appreciated it, i passed some of the money onto XDA dev's.

Its about feeling appreciated.

What Schaps deserves

Shaps: I am so upset for comments that you don't deserve. Please look forward and your job will be recognized. I did a small donation because that is what you deserve, support. :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
I honestly meant no disrespect as Schapps is an AWESOME chef... I don't think many people here haven't tried out his OS's sometime in the past. His name is one that goes into a long list of Fantastic chefs whenever anyone asks what they should look at & its one of the first I advise. I was merely wondering, as the Hermes is getting a bit long in the tooth now, if we would be bypassed by this fantastic piece of work Schapps has been working on for so long... I REALLY love his work and recommend it to any noobs out there as something stable and good to use. I would never try to sully his reputation as it is a fantastic thing he does for us.

As for those people who slander him and say such derogative remarks as "Vapourware", if you think you can do better then go ahead and show us... You do need to understand this whole forum is a hobby, some of us do have lives outside XDA-Developers, and life happens... Even if you can't (or won't) donate at least say thanks...

Again Schapps, sorry if my remarks were construed as rude or ignorant. I really am waiting for this like a kid waiting for christmas morning..... I just REALLY hope you don't leave us behind at the Hermes forum... Would be like loosing a good friend. :(

Cheers...:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schaps:
Once again nostabo you showed us that you are even not able to read... Go back to school! I think I was clear enough, donators will get TouchXperience for Hermes in any case because I promised it, and if they donated in advance it's because they know I'm not a scammer.

Yes I accept donations, but I'm not working for money, and if it was the case I would give up since a long time because what I get is not enough to motivate me to sacrifice my free time. I'm doing it only because I know that many people here appreciate the work I've done for Hermes and I promised since a long time that I will offer a second life to their device.

Do you know many chefs who continue to work on outdated devices? I don't even own an Hermes, so I have no personal reason supporting Hermes. I do it only because many people here count on me, and I would be happy when they could enjoy new functionalities and new design on their old device instead of investing in a new expensive phone.

At the moment I'm near to release a first version of TouchXperience, I still have to fix a list of bugs and improve device compatibility. I will not give you an estimated release date because it still depends on many factors and firstly on when I could get a new PC.

This thread was intended to announcements and suggestions regarding TouchXperience. Every time I make an announcement, it is lost amongst hundreds of useless posts, irritating many of us and wasting my precious time. I have no more computer and everytime I have an access to Internet, I have to spend my time reading such things and answering messages...

SO I ASK A MOD TO CLOSE THIS THREAD, I WILL MAKE ALL ANNOUNCEMENTS ON TOUCHXPERIENCE WEBSITE IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKS. THANK YOU.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kael:
Just one more msg before a mod closes down this thread (which is sadly the best solution)

Schaps, thank you for beeing able to keep your calm in situations like this. Really, it is impressive.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] erics:
Schaps

Is the man.

Anyone who has been around has used his stuff, and knows he has created some of the best apps and roms around. You self entitled assholes who thinks he owes you something are wrong. If you think because you donated you are more entitled, you to are wrong. A donation is exactly that, it is to show your appreciation for the hard work shaps does, it doesn't entitle you to anything more. I think the excitement and anticipation about the new UI, is turning people into assholes.

Vaporware? when has shaps not come through on his promise?

Talking ****? is that suppose to motivate schaps?

Mods as i have asked before, please close this thread, it is a waste of everyones time. Schaps will release when he is ready, if these assholes dont get to him first.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bartybet:
Somehow I think you already do. And no, we don't want to know who you blow for them either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] colombia7:
I've been using Schap's ROMs since my frist flash, tried some others but I always can find bugs that make me back for a Schap's one.

I'm still on WM6 after disturbing experiences with some 6.1 ROMs, they are good off course, but not good enough for somebody who has tested the high quality work from Schap.

After that, i will say one thing, I AM ABSOLUTELY HAPPY with Schap's work, and I don't care if he releases any new ROM or UI. I got more than i expected for free, if something else is going to come great! if not, i really appreciate his work.

Schap, Thank you very much!!
