no language changes

nothing

but if you would like me to take it down i can

i have been compiling roms for 2g users or we wont have any
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] drieves1:
Sorry to see you go man. People dont understand its people free time doing this stuff. If you dont like something in a rom change roms or maker but dont bug a guy about his work. Just because a new htc rom comes out doesnt mean its the best one out, ask anyone in the kasier communty. i work myself to dead writing apps for iphone an its been nice break switching back to windows phone.. Have fun on your break man. nice work on your last rom.

Good luck.

"No, you are not that good! I hate you."

Well that's what some of the users like to say, isn't it. It also make a good cook leave his kitchen. You're kitchen for Diamond is good too.

I feel sorry. See you again bro. If not here maybe somewhere else.

It's happened to every cooks here. The developers at HTC also do:D.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kidd78:
Not a huge surprise with the growing amount of excessive moaning from some ungrateful users.

Not had the chance to use your roms sorry but it saddens me to see a man dedicate his time doing things for others with nothing really in return.

Hopefully in later time we may see you again by then we should see more and more wiser and grateful members.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KukurikU:
sorry, that's the "public".

some ppl don't appreciate the effort. they don't know how many hours from yr free time you spend. i know it hurts. they do behave like you owe them something....

i take the liberty to apologies for all the ungrateful ones.:o:o:o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RSchris:
Your call.

You decided to leave, well.

I can understand that you're upset after reading all those stupids messages about whining.

But I can't understand you left people who need you and like your great job, just because of bastards. Then, the bastards won, and the community loose.

After all, I'm nobody here, and I will probably stay nobody because of my poor knowledge, and I'm not sure that you will read me, I'm pretty sure that you do not care what I think.

Well, good luck, but I don't feel sorry, it's your call.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] speedme:
Hi Bram,

Sorry to hear you leave man !

I just own a Diamond for 1 day, directly put your fantastic ROM onto it and I can say only one thing : it's awesome !!!

Just don't listen to those f**ckers, because they are just to damn lasy to cook their own ROM (jep, I'm lasy too, but I don't wine)

Hope you concider your decision, just for the sake of all the GOOD ppl out here

Dat is echt klote dat je gaat..

Was altijd blij met je roms..

Sommige snappen gewoon niet dat dit iets vrijwilligs is..

als ze iets beter willen moeten ze het zelf maar doen. .

kunnen ze dat niet... dan kop dicht..

Maarja..

Jammer.. misschien dat ik je op een ander forum betrap met je roms :P

Succes!

en thnx

Sorry for the dutch post

Respect.

You had the right attitude and mindset.

Understand your decision and agree with it, you will be missed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pkoper:
Fair call Bram!

People keep forgetting that this is not the extended arm of HTC support but a bunch of guys and gals who fiddle around with roms and software in their spare time and share the results with the public.

So whoever is not happy with what is available here..... flash your carriers stock rom and and enjoy.

Sorry to see you go!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] StreetBiker:
:( To bad to see you leave. I was watching out for the next great ROM of yours.

I understand your decission, I hate the people who made you to do this.

Could you, maybe, give us people who love you ROMs, give us a goodbye presence in the ROM NLD 6.1.1.16? If not, no calling names. It's up to you, only you can make this decission.

Anyway, good luck and hope to see you again on XDA.

Bram,

Velen hier denken dat het leven ophoudt bij de Diamond! Ik hoop dat jouw besluit je meer tijd geeft voor een potje schaak, je ontwikkelingen bij Imtech en als laatste maar niet t minst belangrijke je `social live`!

Een beetje meer waardering voor wat je gedaan hebt en een beetje minder gezeur werken bij een stier ook beter!

Ik wens je op alle fronten het beste!

Thanks for all you efforts to the community - if you have decided to go -for good, I wish you well in your new ventures.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tha_rami:
Somewhere deep down, I understand your decision. I mean, I've been programming a lot, helping a lot of people, and in the end, people start to feel your services are something granted. The fun sips away and you end up with a chore, and chores aren't thing you or I would like to spend time on. Some hang on, others let go. It's a system based on psychological resistance to that kind of crap.

So, it is sad to see someone devoted to helping people leave. I've never used your ROM's, and never will as it appears now - I've been stuck with TLR's v2 and to be honest, I like that one. But that doesn't matter, does it now? It's not a match; cooking as with programming, I believe, is part of creating your view of what a device should be able to do.

Dus, bij deze, succes in je verdere ondernemingen. Ik denk dat we je toch nog wel terug zullen zien hier. Sommige plekken laat je niet zo maar achter.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
I am VERY happy to see that a Dutch Cook gives a present -transfers his heritage /knowledge to a BELGIAN :):)

Though I regret 2 things:

1. That you did not resist falling in the trap of SOME people thinking they owe the world. (You're Dutch and tall, so I thought you would be more resistent to some back-wind..0

2. The non-support for WWE ROM's and focusing on NLD (Dutch only)

I was really looking forward to a WWE release with ALL the add-ons you provided which was a perfect fit.

Good luck and more "fun" if you move to other Forums.

Surface_Rom, welcome and looking forward to your upcoming ROM's!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mikkelnl:
I kind of agree :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bram_smulders:
I dont feel like whining...

In my situation(having a baby, and all other stuff) i make my little spare time free to develop here on xda. Where the last time it's drowning with people who think your the extended helpdesk of htc, complaining about this don't work, that dont work, this is not in it, it's not the last version of this and that.

Most of my time here on xda i was busy reading stupid PM's and reactions on my threads.(this does not mean everybody sucks, the great part of xda users dont whine).

When i was fully started up there was a thingie at home here that i have to do, so i quitted again.

Coming back the next day, my whole pm box full of crap again.

I simply don't have time for it so i quit here.

If you feel this is whining, let it be, that's your opinion.

If this means that you find that i must stay becouse the world is hard and such, let it be, i feel different than u.

I'm gone.

gr. bram
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mikkelnl:
Personally, I'd choose to ignore the posts/pm's you mention, and focus on your hobby and love for cooking roms. In other words: focus on the fun part and ignore the downside that comes with publishing your rom(s).

To completely quit, seems a bit radical (kort door de bocht).

But hey; it's your call... Enjoy spending time with your kid, I know exactly how much time it takes ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bram_smulders:
It is so much fun here with my baby i want to spend every time i've got in her.

The times that she sleeps are for my wife and for me, and for xda and the rest of the day is for working.

I read all the pm;s becouse on 1/100 pms us usefull and that ones i want to aswer.

i want to spend more time here on my kid and wife.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
You will be greatly missed....

Hi Bram old friend... sad to hear you are going away but I fully respect your decision. It's your life and only you yourself can decide what you want to do with it.

I thought I had an old companion here at Diamond sub-forum but well... As for those whinings and stuff, we must take control over it and be on top of the situations rather than affected by them.. Go take a very good break with your kid and wife (you need it my pal) and when you have some free times at hands do drop by and say hello to your pals here at XDA, me included.

Likewise I also have very little spare time nowadays but I do cook roms for my own consumption and for the love of it and not pressurised in whatever ways...:D I will only release them if I feel like it.:rolleyes:

Wish you all the very best in your future endeavours!

Only thing 'too bad' is that it were Dutch roms ;)

But,

You got to leave when you get a bad feeling from it. Totally agree. Would have done the same in non-programmer situations.

Bram, zie dat je een goede vervanging voor de extra tijd hebt ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jasjamming:
this forum is like a tv series with an overload of emotions.

build a bridge and get over it.

leave or stay? who really gives a crap....

yes your pm's will be overloaded, people will ask and request silly things, just ignore it and go shag your wife instead of wasting time posting how you are hurt from forum members re: how they are eating in to your personal life.

sheeesh!

(post written from the toilet.. time to wipe)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
remember......

you build the rom with what you want for your self and for people to "TEST"

if they want something else or more.....tell them to start cooking!

its that simple
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Noonski:
Respect My Authorateye, I'm beginning to like this thread more and more. (Sarcasm start to grab some attention)

It's a good way to get a feeling of other people's visions.

It teaches you who you like and who you don't.

But i'm reading some posts that do not pay any attention to one rule.

The rule of respect and propper social treatment and language.

I have never up and went "hey your a loser" in any of these threads or forum's, nor in a PM. Neither have i read comparable sentences in any of the threads or forums.

Now i don't read everything in all XDA fori.

But some of the things i've seen in this soon to be closed thread and in the previous ELF Surface thread are unworthy of XDA.

I think Bram has made a very clear point, and maybe a point that is shared by others but not voiced.

He chosae to stop cooking and took the time toexplain that decision he did not ask for opinions.

The thread was supposed to stay open for those that would like to say goodbey, not for those that want to give their opninion.

This thread will now be closed ASAP.

gr. s
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Olipro:
we have a winner folks!

Yes Bram, there are a lot of people here who are demand infuriating morons who think that not only is it their right that you make stuff for them for free, should you at any point start for asking something back, you are immediately a selfish horrible horrible bastard.

Fortunately, I am a horrible horrible bastard, so I just deal with the whining by having a good old shout back... if you can pummel enough idiots into submission then eventually, everyone starts to come onboard and figure things out for themselves rather than demanding a spoon-feed session.

Corian however, informed me you objected to your ROMs being signed; I personally disagree with this and he's going to sign them anyway; we offer people a choice of using signed or unsigned, I'm not going to support any attempt at railroading people into either one, they can make their own mind up; the ROM remains your intellectual property, but not your copyright, and since the signing blocks aren't what's flashed to the device, feel free to argue the toss as much as you like.

Now, going back to the issue at hand... your post seems to make it appear as if you not only see the people think you have an obligation to them, but also that you personally feel you do too; I would suggest you get that out of your head and remind yourself you can work on what you want, when you want, on your own terms.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
sadly that's utopia, I thought you'd know that anyway.

really? it is not in your right to touch his roms if he said no to it; he even requested other people not to upload the roms elsewhere. that's all in his rights.

if you think this is OK, then dollypro stealing our SSPL is ok too. sigh.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] OliNex:
bugger, delete this
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Olipro:
No, because modifying the work itself is the issue; signing it does not modify it, just makes it flashable for people with the other SPL.

if we were actually doing something to the ROM, that's a different issue.

essentially, saving people the time of flashing to Developer then flashing back to the standard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
well I guess this can be interpreted in a bit of a subjective way. still I think it is not good to claim authority in this way.

anyway...I know you just want to make the signed version more popular :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Olipro:
No, it's about ensuring people aren't railroaded into either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
that's the same thing ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blob8me:
Sigh..... :cool: I feel just a little sad..... what a shame its like this at the moment?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ratcom:
I agree 100% with you jasjamming, You can ***** about noobs all you want but there always going to be there asking silly questions time and time again.... gone are the glory days when only real tech heads where hanging around these parts, HTC have brought the windows mobile format to the masses and with it come the dickheads who dont know there arse from there elbow.

come on bram_smulders this is a joke right? remember the whole FTP and roms saga? the only person that should really be pissed is Bill Gates or HTC after all its there code thats being presented as someone else work no? its not like anyone is trying to pass off your re-arranged rom for there own work is it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bram_smulders:
I dont care if someone signes my roms, but i feel strongly that if you come here on the forum you must read yourself in about rom flashing(or other stuff).

Or even if you don read yourself in it's pretty easy to understand not to flash another device rom on your device.

So personally i think use a custom rom signer to flash roms is not needed, and will play in the hands of the noobs(and the notreaders) who will read even less becouse they know there are people who help them without searching.(mayb a little vague writed but i feel so).

I just said this to corian, and i don't bother that he signs, i just think a rom signer is bullocks.
