seriously...

Imagine if Bill Gates had said "Damn, my computer is broken ! I can't afford a new one ! Oh well let's forget this silly Windows OS idea for a moment and let's go drink some beers ! We'll see later !." Maybe the world would be a better place today, who knows...

But seriously, how much is a decent PC these days ? 300 € ? And that's without the spare components you have laying around. A few donations could reach that amount in no time, and I guess that there are many potential donors around. Unless you don't want our money and prefer to go your own way, which we would of course respect.

PS. don't forget the external backup drive (250 gb - 50 €) ! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rosebud:
Hi Schaps,

let me know what you need.. I have some half decent spares lying around, sure I can sort something for you... unless its cheaper to buy where you are than it'll cost for postage of course, all seriousness.. tell me the spec of your pc and what part you think is faulty, i will see what I have got.

Cheers

Steve
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
Thank you for your help, that's very nice of you! My hard drive, CPU and motherboard are dead and not covered anymore by warranty. Yes I imagine that some of you have few pieces in stock, but postage is not cheap, and I would rather to buy new material on next month. My only problem is that I don't think I could afford to buy a Touch Pro to work on as I wanted... :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jorlin:
:( That's not good at all ... :(

I donated again... anyone joining me?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htcfanboi:
hey schaps does that mean you have to start all your work over agian????

cause if your hard drive is down... how can... unless you backed it up...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
I will send another 10Euro at the end of the week :D

31/08/08 I just donated again

He mentioned before that he had some backup but the work was not current so there is extra to do.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aydc:
I know how stressing a total computer crash is from personal experience. Especially if you suffered data loss, or if you have to spend a week trying to salvage data from a broken harddisk, you get close to committing suicide. We should all stop asking about the situation and should just wait until an alpha release.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lommag:
Hi Schap's, please read your MP, I'm ready to send you a new PC if it can help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Urosh:
I also donated again in this moment... 30 € for you Schaps.

I hope when Schaps will become the new Bill Gates he will remember us... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mandragore:
Yep, just did.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nishant28290:
i'd be glad to help as well

ETA for this nice looking rom?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] weblance:
You're joking, right? If not then read the thread before posting again!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zetxek:
Donated! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mandragore:
I'm sure you like this nice looking ROM. So maybe you can imagine how much time and effort has been, and will be put in developing it. And depending on how much you like this nice looking ROM, you can probably imagine you're not the only one who likes it. Now imagine all those people asking for an ETA. Over and over again.. If you like what you see, here and everywhere on this forum, and if you respect everybody's efforts, please at least spend some time reading and searching, before asking questions. Read post #298 for example. Thanks and take care.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] samstar:
Looks verry good schaps! keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htcfanboi:
ergggggggggg.... this will never be realeased!!!!!!

btw i said this because i am bored and mad......

im not trying to be mean to schaps................. just.... i would love this so much....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] unwired4:
Very impressive.

I hope HTC don't beat you to it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NeoXTC:
schaps u really should just create a big post and say DON'T MESSAGE ME. God ppl when it's out it'll be out stop bothering the man.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dominique2222:
Microsoft forget it.

and you did it !!!

you're fabulous ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GriFolle:
Hi Shap's...

Can I ask you if you could (evenif your UI it's not complete) release just the standalone app to unlock the device using the touch scroowheel?

Maybe is it usable also to answer calls?

Because as you certainly know, S2U2 uses a lot of battery power...and till now there are no good alternatives to replace its services for diamond owners...

I think a lot of persons on this forum would appreciate this...

Thank you and...good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
Et Oui - I can't say more - I fully understand Schaps' being fed-up as he posted in #289 - though when I saw the title - "call for beta-testers"- and looking at the magnitude of his UI impact- i saw this coming.

Anyway- I refrain from presenting myself as betatester for this project to avoid filling more garbage (even this post is garbage in fact) .

And maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to change the thread title -removing the "flies on a horse****" teaser word "beta-tester" :D

Success with the further development Julien- Bon courage.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tsipistri:
I agree it will be very nice if you release the unlock application

keepup the good work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mathiaspe:
ohhh man....why can't you just wait for the public beta and let schaps do his work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bennec83:
this looks amazing!!

I hope you have a space for another tester!!

look forward to it if you accept!!

take care
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jesperpoulsen:
Why don't one of the moderators take action and lock this thread until Schaps says so? It can't be that hard to do
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LazPL:
Another 30 EUR

Schaps, I should have done this long ago as I have been your fan since the TyTN. Just sent you 30 EUR, hope it helps! Good luck with the computer!!!

T.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Darkresurrect:
HI

:D HI Schap's I just don't want to bother you whit stupid comments I just want to know when is possibly the first public appearance of this gorgeous eye candy state of the art work ROM for Kaiser and how to access a beta without knowing to much about cel roms but knowing a lot about PC.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bucci:
something new with touchxperience?

Schap: do you have any info about it? something new with your PC?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV 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.

I would like thank you for your donations, it's really nice to know that some of you really consider my problems, and thank you for your patience!

For the wait I released a new version of Advanced Config, as usual download Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 here and enjoy! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aeqvist:
awesome man! can't wait to try it! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Davey101:
Donated... It's not much but hope it can help in some way. Screenshots look amazing. :)

Thanks too for the Advanced Config.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mc-paulo:
Hi,

just donated 10€ for your great work. I know it's not much but I hope you appreciate it ;-)

Looking forward to the release and thank you very much fot AdvancedConfig. Really makes lifa with a Diamond a lot easier ;-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
thanks for the update Schap's

many thanks for all the hard work and time,to make our PPC'S beter :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jamesd256:
Big thanks to schap

15 euros won't buy you a pc (well, maybe a 386 running windows 3.1), but I hope it gives you a crumb of encouragement to continue down the honourable path you have chosen.

I can't wait to try touchxperience, and plan to donate another 15 euros when I get my hands on it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fadeper:
some news about touchexperience

hello schaps,

can you give us news for diffusion of your interface? I think that we are numerous to await it impatiently...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
Thank you!

Thank you for your generous donations guys! Hopefully I should get a PC soon, thanks to a nice donator :) Other donations will take part in investment to develop the Touch Pro version.

I am currently working on a new version of TouchXperience website where I will try to keep you frequently updated about project progress and releases. The new website is community-oriented so if you have any questions, suggestions, or if you would like to contribute in my projects, you are free to take part in forum or wiki. Support will be maintained on TouchXperience forum in the future.

As you know I don't have a lot of free time (and a free PC at the moment) to care of TouchXperience project and website, and I have limited knowledge in website content/forum/wiki management, so I would be glad if some of you were willing to help me. :) But I'm looking for serious/professional people, to moderate forums, to help users and post frequently asked questions,... everything you want to contribute in TouchXperience website life! The best would be if you have good knowledge in CMS, webdesign, forum/wiki management that could help me to improve website. Thank you in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
if you need a mod for the forum

ill be willing to hep if need be :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GriFolle:
Ok...I know that now someone will come to say that we have to be patience ecc...but after "I am currently working on a new version of TouchXperience website" I think it's quite normal asking something like:

Why don't work BEFORE on develop of the product and AFTER on its "home" on the web?

Just my 2 cents.

Peace.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Simple:

Because he wants it that way.

I really find it disturbing there are really people pushing him that way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
I am developping this product since almost one year now, and you should know that I don't have a PC at the moment, and when I can borrow one, I don't have tools and resources to work on development, so I decided to work on new website.

I did it also because I'm bored to get hundreds of messages always asking "Where to download TouchXperience?", "When will it be available?", "How much will it cost?", and irritated by ungrateful comments I could read on XDA-Devs forums, telling that I'm a faker or pushing me...

So this new website will be the best way to communicate about project progress, and to offer better support. I hope I could get rid of irrespectful people on my forums, and finally to make something positive and constructive arround a community.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GriFolle:
Thanks for your reply. I didn't want to be irrespectful...I just want know and you gave me a reasonable answer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
Ok you are welcome! You can register on forum, send me a PM and I will give you mod status.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] triklops:
Well, don't get me wrong...I don't havy any problems with being patient..especially since it is being patient for a product that you are willing to give out for free after all the time you dedicated to the project.

I'm grateful that there are people like you !!

BUT I think you made a simple mistake by repeatedly stating that it is going to be published in the near future...

I think you should just take your time and tell people "It will be finished when I think it's ready for public release" or sth to that nature :)

You don't need to give out promises !!!

We all appreciate your work....So take your time :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
:D haha Hilarious - at first read I misssed the "ROM" inside the OP's msg..

Julien- if you don't want a zillion stupid questions like that on your website- a tutorial wil be a must.

And "touch experience" is neither an new brand of a vibrator girls :p

I pitty Julien that even majority of users do not know that Adv.config is made by him :(

TouchXperience project progress Written by Julien Schapman Saturday, 27 September 2008 07:32 To make you patient until the public release, I decided to give you regular news about TouchXperience project progress and to give you more details about some TouchXperience features. Don't hesitate to make suggestions in the dedicated forum.

The first public release will be (finally!) available in October (2008!), TouchXperience will be available for HTC TyTN, TyTN II, Touch Pro, Touch Diamond, and later Touch HD. Other devices may be supported in the future and non-HTC touch devices (such as Samsung Omnia/i900) are not excluded, but be aware that I need to invest in new devices to work on it, and developping for non-HTC devices may take longer because I use to develop on HTC hardware only.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chetermaat:
Great touchexperience this month

Dude i was waiting for it for so long. Cant wait to flash it on my Diamond.

Greetz and keep up the good work:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Shahd:
I am ready to help you!

Hi Schaps,

I know several of your really great works and I also know, what does that mean to spent about 1000 hours to develope a fully new shell or a softwareproduct. I have also WM development knowledges but I am working for company so I can not write more or share my works.

Anyway I would be very appreciated if I could help you.

So please let me know, if you need my help.

Good luck!

Shahd

?????How long

How long is this thread going to contuine........Where is Schap's?????

this thread is been going on for months....just wondering?:confused:

Peace

Mike
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karana:
Hey Schaps! Anyway you could work up the ROM for the CDMA device?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
Well - I lost the appetite for it.

Not only has the thread title ever been changed, as still newbies are asking to become a beta tester prbably a few weeks before its public release

Do not understand me wrong, I have the greatest respect for Julien in what he achieved with his adv.config and truly believe TE will kick ass.

So, for those who do want to give up TF3D, neither use winterscape, or SPB - let's wait a bit and we'll see if Julien can fullfill the high expectations raised by this thread...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jowan073db:
his computer is broken down....

he cant work on this treath...

that why he is gone now

il check his site every day..

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] owz206:
Good news as posted by schaps on the Touch Experience forum.

Re: Release Date

by schaps on Thu Oct 09, 2008 3:17 pm

As I said earlier, I plan to release TouchXperience during this month. Now I have everything I need to take up work on TouchXperience, unfortunately I am pretty busy this week because of my job so I don't have much free time to work on the project but I will continue this week-end. Actually I have an important project at work to finish before end of October, so I won’t have a lot of free time to finish TouchXperience, but I will do my best to make sure TouchXperience will be ready before the end of this month.

I would like to thank once again Lommag who promised me a computer, and I finally got it. You can be as well thankful for him because with his great contribution I am now able to work in good conditions and to release TouchXperience project shortly.

Keep in mind that the first version of TouchXperience won't be complete and there will be certainly many further versions. I still have many ideas I would like to develop (some really interesting, but I won't tell anything at the moment ) and if I want to do all I would need one more year at least! My big mistake was that I wanted to add too many features in TouchXperience which took me so much time that I had to delay again and again the release date. So I started to develop new features which I will only add to further versions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zmob123:
All I can say is, unless a base is released TouchExperiance will be an old UI. It should be released so thers can help make it better, and I would have to say I've given up on it as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
You guys aren't just worth using it anyway :lol:

what a bunch of crap here! Judging without even the possibility of having seen it and saying 'giving up on it'

Dude: you have nothing to give up on yet!

Hope shaps will take his time :) It's his and only his, you really don't get that, do you?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hc_blacki:
LOL over 100 days and nothing happens. Keep you rom by yourself, its to old now!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bennec83:
This has been in the pipeline since 27-07-2008, 01:17 AM, today it is 10-10-08, there is minimal updates, and there is no sign of progress.

The people here just really want to try this, and it is infuriating when nothing happens, everyone wants Schaps to keep on working, he releases good tools ADV Config tools etc.

I think everyone here wants to try this and appreciates his work, but there should be some sign of developement! but there is nothing.

it is like the CAIRO project for windows vista, this project has been going for over a year and people keep bangin on about how great it is going to be and the releases have been delayed for one excuse of another and now i dont even care enough to check the site.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lesiohormon:
that will be BIG surprise when I see DOWNLOAD touch experience button ;) if I will be still one of the diamond owner
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bennec83:
agreed, we may have all upgraded lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] losdrivare:
10 minutes of reading this thread and I know why Schaps stopped using it and moved to his own site.

So what if he's not been working on the project? He's not your employee. I does it in his own free time, and let's make this clear, gentlemen: everyone dispose of their own free time as they bloody well see fit. If he don't want to work on the project, then that's up to him. Not you.

If all you can do is whine, then don't post.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] makeveral:
I agree with you, but man its not normal to anounce this monthsss ago saying that he needs beta testers and there's nothing done yet (for the beta testers he was searching) he sould have waited much longer to announce it and he souldnt have said every month that it's almost done and then saying that he had problems and there wont be any release until 1 month, and after that time same thing happens.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bozotheclown:
I'm very interested in how things are progressing. Is a release in sight?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RideTheTube:
Shaps get new equipment to work on it - he think he can release at the end of october because he has so much new ideas to enlarge his UI.

But here you can read more

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bozotheclown:
Thanks for the pointer:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bennec83:
My thought exactly, schaps does really good works but the timing here was way off
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] losdrivare:
Friend, this is software development. It could be "normal" even if this was a paid project by a major software company. And Schaps is doing it on his free time.

Don't work yourselves up so much. It will be done when it will be done if it will be done. Take is as it comes, if it comes. Hakuna matata... :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DrewVS:
Of course it's up to him. But he should not expect many Beta testers or a market unless he can roughly estimate when his work will be ready. If there is no intention to meet the needs of a market, why create the product?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uniqueboy:
Schaps is a bit of a legend in these forums, max respect is due to him, my phone would be much the poorer without him and his excellent software so a great big THANKYOU to Schaps for all of his work. and whatever he puts out I just know is gonna make this forum Buzz big style. For myself, my phone is little more than a toy, the cheapest Nokia would supply all of my needs, but I want more, it has become a bit of a sad nerdy hobby with relationship threatening potential, just you bide your time Schaps and spare my relationship. Of course i will install anything that is posted, but I love Dutty (my kitten). :)

Lets be happy tonight on this forum and not bicker.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Free products and markets really don't make sense.

Thanks again for all your hard work and sleepless nights...we all appreciate it greatly!

Keep cool, remarks like that will never motivate anyone to program for FREE.

Please be patient, I mean everybody can understand how huge it is to release a rom like that, and that it can imply some unexpected delays.
