[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Sadly, it's not going to be available today, but woohoo! An update! At least he updated!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zmob123:
An update is surely a step in the right direction, man I thik I may donate to get the beta.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ericsson68:
Just to add that I didn't receive an invite as a past donator and would be happy to test if I had done.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mandragore:
Then don't hesitate to contact him. That would make him happy as well. I received an invite somewhere before christmas.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slovoflud:
are you using it? are you allowed to talk about it? how is it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
I don't think Mandragore actually has the private beta - just an invite suggesting the user can participate in the beta test program.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mandragore:
Correct! Unfortunately I had to turn the private beta down due to a lack of time. I just wanted to let ericsson68 and others know that the beta and the invites are real. And that donators, who missed out earlier and think they should participate this time around, contact Julien.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
How gay. The Raphael thread was blocked :( Btw, if you guys wanted to know, schaps has added info on the following things: TouchMenu, Command Prompt, File Editor, and TouchPaint.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cyron_at:
...but where can I download these new programs?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Wishmaster89:
It is easy.... you can't for now. They will be available when they will be finished but nobody except schap's know when that will be.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ericsson68:
What has 'gay' got to do with it?

Please grow up and use more appropriate terminology.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Confucious:
Gay: 1.	having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music. 2.	bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments. 3.	given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season. What's wrong with that?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
I still do not get a response from Schaps at all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
back on topic please

i think we all know what gay means thank you ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
I would just like you to know. First off, I'm 16 so I can't technically grow up. And that was perfectly used in context because it was sarcasm.

email him. schaps [at] live [dot] com
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] capsman:
me neither. donated in august 2008, emailed him couple a days ago, but neither a respsone nor an invitation to a so called beta test....

it's completely strange. the screenshots he/she ("she" becauce the donation email adress "schaps@live.fr" belongs to a person called "Greta Madej" and a google-search reveals a connetion between that name and the town "Nancy" in France as well) recently postet on touchxperience.com aren't as stunning as the videos, in which touchxperience was annouced months ago...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TrizO:
Does anyone know when the beta is going to come out? i know its been postponed....but until when?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Until the private testers report back that the private beta has no bugs so that schaps can get a public beta out. He's trying to get it out asap. But that won't work if it has some bugs that need fixing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zmob123:
Kraize, did you make a donation or have you already got the beta? I sent Scahps a message about donating to get the private beta and he wrote back saying it will be out this weekend.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fanSte:
MOD EDIT

please respect members here....have you seen how much work he (Schap's) has done for FREE here on XDA.

please think before you post again.

thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] firemove:
Damn, why are you telling everyone that is a fake?

Do you know how hard it is to make a rom like this all by your own?

I Think it´s ok, and shaps will release the beta when he is ready!

So please be qiuet and wait!

Greetz

Sry for the bad englisch!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
can anyone tell me if shaps site is working cuz on me laptop i am waiting for it to load for a while now ??:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] korbi:
Seems like the site is down at the moment
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
thanx for the info wonder if he is updating for us or making

some changes well hopefully comes back uup
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dnetzone:
guys ...any update on this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RideTheTube:
not so far...:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] markatmgpc:
The site is back now, but unfortunately no updates yet, I wish Schap all the best with this project.

MG
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Ell3X:
some good news ...

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
thanx for the update checkedout my email today and got the same mail so hopefully monday or this week some time it might be up fingers crossed for the schapman :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] domineus:
and here I didn't want it to get out so fast but yes the email is from schaps...I wonder if it will be ready by next week but I must admit a lot of what he is adding makes it a bit more functional

it seems there is not only the complete menu system rewrite but also a today plugin that utilizes panels on a non wvga device. That in itself is a bit remarkable of a feat!

Of course this also gives a lot of options with widgets system. I wonder if manila will be a continuous option. At least maybe from second today maybe. All in all this is a lot of good news for people.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] THE GRIZZ:
any plan for this rom and some of its components to be ported to xperia, mabe schaps can work with other cooks on this
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuke1:
Maybe if you'd read a little further, you would've realised that this ROM is having a multiple platform release.

Anyhow I think this ROM has had its hay day before its release. By the time it's out, there will be better things, not least of which are PUI Home 2, SPB Shell 3, WM6.5. The chef should've worked with a few more chefs so as to have had a timely release, when it would've actually 'WOW'ed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
Maybe in the future, but lets get the ROM working on the devices previously listed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
How many people do I have to tell this to? Those apps that you've pointed out are only TODAY PLUGINS. >.> Why is no one listening. WM6.5 is not an app, but he's using a WM6.5 build as his base. Read the quoted e-mail. Besides, this rom could work WITH PointUI Home 2, SPB Shell 3, and WM6.5. So please. If you're going to respond and have some reasons, make sure they're valid.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] domineus:
just to echo on kraize's comment

if schaps wanted to work with other developers, he would've already. But then seeing that he hasn't still means something.

This is just a personal nit pick for me but I think that a person that stands back saying what a person should've done is pretty disrespectful to the work he has done for xda developers already.

Matter of opinion here, but I am actually wowed by this still. Even after the eye candy of touch diamond/pro 2 releases. but then this is a matter of opinion
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bram_smulders:
I think Schap's is one of the most guys who get my respect for his work to xda, but i still can get into the mind of some guys here...

They are waiting so long for his release and new ui, wich seems to me is a bit outdated with the SHELL-offence nowadays, every developer has a great shell these days, and some much more intuitive thatn the other...

Schaps touchXperience must be such a great thing to compete with all other out there.

When we first heard of his project it had a WOW factor, now it's just "that other UI besides all other".

But hey who am i to set a point here, schaps always enlighten us with great software, so why he aint doing it now? I hope for the best!

Gr. Bram
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dnetzone:
hey is it expected today?

any updates?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
No update to be mentioned at present - :p

I'm sure someone will post some news when there is some. We all need to be patient
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
It was expected today, but knowing that TouchXperience is a big project, I can wait a few days :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuke1:
I see he's still making some changes. But I do think that there are so many other UIs which is the main factor. Anyhow I hope for the best. Thanks Schaps, for your enormous contribution.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
New update
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] korbi:
Thanks for the news. This means in the next 5 days it will be released?!? (Or just the private beta?)

Cant wait for it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
This will not be a public beta though Schaps mentioned previously that a public beta should follow shortly after the beta for the people that donated.

I do hope no one leaks this before the he releases the public beta.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slovoflud:
sure, nothing leaks on the internet! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
as its a closed beta

any one posting it here before public beta is open i will remove there posts...

and give them a warning....note to all.....you have been warned.

thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cyron_at:
..I hope you don't have much to do..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SPANX:
can i be a beta tester too?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Caramel:
Je n'ai rien dit jusqu'à présent laissant les choses suivre leur cours ...

On en est maintenant à l'ajout de fonction du touchflo du diamond 2, je veux bien, mais j'espère que le diamond 3 sortira pas de sitot sans ça ce fameux touchexperience ne sortira jamais ...

Je ne dénigre en rien les capacités de développement de shap's, loin de là, ce que je ne tolère en aucun cas c'est de prendre les gens pour des cons ... Pas pret pour une bêta ? A quoi sert une bêta si ce n'est à tester et à faire remonter des informations ? Plus ça va plus des fonctions sont rajoutées, fonctions qui me semble prometeuses, mais sont elles nécéssaires sans l'avis des testeurs ? Fonctions qui à chaque fois repoussent d'un peu plus la mise en ligne d'une version viable ( si tant est qu'il y en ai une ... ) ...

Dernier point et non des moindres, c'est le fait que ça le fait rire de voir que certains s'amusent à faire des modifs du flo ou autres ... ( fc : un mail de sa part mais je ne connait plus l'adresse du lien ... ) alors que lui est en train de faire l'UI qui va révolutioner ... soit, mais dans ce cas le respect des gens va dans les deux sens, au moins les "petits" font des bêta que tout le monde peut tester, eux ! Ils essayent et modifient en fonction des remontées d'infos, eux !

Faudrait arrêter de se moquer du monde et pondre quelque chose, même si c'est pas fini, mais une base sur laquelle tous les gens qui ont donné puissent participer, et non rester cloitré à rajouter des fonctions d'appareils qui ne sont même pas encore sur le marché !

PS for the moderator, let peoples read before deleting, democratie, democratie ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DaveShaw:
PS, for the poster, please translate into English as per forum rules, or I will delete ;).

Google translate doesn't translate it well to English (see even I can't type in English now :)).

Thanks

Dave
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
yes....english please

so i can respond to your post

thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Ok fighting over :)

C'mon guys, there's no need to carry on like this. Can't this thread be left clean for updates on the project.

Thanks

Dave
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fatchopra:
Great work!

This is lookign really good Schap!

Cant wait till its released, have changed roms and plug-ins many times but this definitely looks like the best package i have seen. Donation on its way :D

Keep up the great work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slovoflud:
finally, some reactions! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] _4saken_:
yeah, sure. keep deleting all the posts. if this thread is for updates from schap only, you can clear out the other 50 pages as well, because the posts from schaps probably fit on one page....

so much for freedom of speech...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
we clear posts....

if off topic.....or fighting....

thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vincej:
What has freedom of speech to do with anything? This is a private website provided for free to anyone who wants to use it, and I am sure that everyone here has found something to help them, at absolutely no charge.

Those who have donated have done so out of their own volition and no guarantees of special powers or access have been promised to those who do donate.

In short, the owners, and those who they have put in place to moderate this site and the various forums it contains can do whatever the heck they want with it at any time, for any reason. This includes deleting, removing, editing, banning and shutting down the whole show, and all that without any obligation to explain their actions.

We each come here with no obligation, recieving help, support and software others have put together at no cost, out of a desire to serve the greater good (or have their ego stroked, either way there is no fee for it).

From some of the posts on here it makes me wonder why people come here if all they want to do is complain about things not happening quick enough or they don't like the way it is moderated.

No one is forcing anyone else to come to this site, download apps, or post anything. If you don't like it, DON'T COME HERE!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] snoopyrph:
I completely agree with you on that. Freedom of speech or press has nothing to do with it. Forgive him, he just wrongly interpret the constitution. We come here and receive benefit at no cost without contribute anything, just like welfare system, why the heck people complaint? I don't get it LOL. It's my 2 cent.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zmob123:
Here's my blunt way of thinking that is completly unbiased to an side, anything goes until Schaps release, which may cause in XDA favor a world record of posts on a board about nothing or *****in however you wanna look at it. Just kidding, well maybe a little.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Expect it today. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cyron_at:
...for beta testers, for dontated people or official?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Oh. I'm sorry :o For Private beta testers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] capsman:
you know the movie "the day after tomorrow"? ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Schaps is having some problems so please don't get overexcited either guys.

He said this in an email a half-hour ago.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mister-gwada97one:
Can I be a beta tester?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Not for private ;) For public yes, or donate to get in on the donator private beta.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Just hold out a little more guys! And if you're a PRIVATE beta tester/donater for touchxperience, please give me a PM either here or on the touchxperience forum and I can give you permission to see the private beta section.

good evening

only me.....cleaning the thread....again :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Caramel:
Hum Liam you're my beast !!! I only said what peaople think !:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
you have a right to your opinion...

but voicing it in this manner in this thread will only cause fighting in the thread.

this is the only reason i am removing your posts.

if you have a problem with the OP.....private message him.

please don't do this just to cause trouble.

thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mister-gwada97one:
yes, public beta ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Caramel:
No remorses ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dickenz:
I think you misunderstood, feel free to correct me if that is not the case but there is only a private beta for donators at the moment. There is no public beta or a date set for one.

I await my private beta test anxiously.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
No. I was saying he could join public beta :) He asked to be a tester.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dickenz:
Oh I knew that haha... I wasn't sure if he misunderstood your answer...

Course he could join the public beta, when it comes about :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
The people that have PM'd me have gotten access. Right now I'm going on honesty. So if I find out that anyone told me wrong and I've added them, they will later be banned from the touchxperience forums. And if I haven't added you, please check if you can see 5 sections in the touchxperience forum and do tell me. If you have access, you should be able to see a section called "TouchXperience Beta Test."
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
I see the five - Thanks :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vincej:
Does this mean that the public beta will be out sometime this weekend? I thought I read that he was going to have a week or so for the private beta, or am I confused? Or both?

Also, does anyone have any feedback yet on it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Herbalisation:
yeah i'd like to know where we're at...no review by kraize yet so im pretty sure the private beta isn't out...prove me wrong...please
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Private beta is not yet out. As soon as you see a review/post about it from me, you'll know. And please don't PM me to JOIN beta testing now because we have the beta testers. We will only add the members that schaps has on his private beta testing list. I've already had incidents with 2 users.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Herbalisation:
thought so. I won't be pm'ing you or bothering you in any way, I'm just wondering where the progress is...as usual. Looking forward to the day I see your review kraize...THEN ill be bothering you ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Also, may I remind you that getting access to these sections does not give you access to the download of the private beta. It is merely for discussion and developement. So if you're not on the private beta list, but can access the private beta section, it really does you no good. Once the private beta is out and you feel that you should've gotten it, drop me a message and I'll talk to schaps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cyron_at:
...any update/idea when it will be released for "us"?

br
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Smoky:
The more it's long......

I hope it's coming out soon like everybody, but i imagine it's unusefull to upload a version with to many bugs.

Good luck Shap's, France believes in you !!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] korbi:
There is no public beta planned at the moment...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
:eek: why try and insult someone you don't even know? Schaps is a valuable part of this community and his contributions are always welcome. He has worked hard on this

development

and will release it when good and ready.

I would rather wait for a good beta with little or no bugs instead of a very buggy ROM which people endlessly complained about and move away from.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] energyadj:
For many people "Schaps" is a Brand !

For many people "Schaps" is a Brand :cool: ! A brand of best cooked rom's ! I have used along the time .. many of his roms !

I think that the "hard" part of the TouchXperience Project , almost passed ..and we have a little time to wait ... So people Patience and Respect for his work !

Respect !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jura_ZG:
Man, I just realized, schaps touchexperience really reminds me of WM 6.5(maybe M$ ripped the idea of it ;)).

It has similar "philosophy" to it, i mean when you press start it immediately takes you to programs menu. To me it has somehow a similar "vibe" to it.

Of course, schaps Ui looks much smoother compared to honeycomb i've seen even on diamond2. Also accelerometer control and other stuff that is incorporated in schaps Touchexp UI is something not yet found in wm.

Hope we'll see touch experience soon.

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Actually, schaps was put off by the negative response from the community here and at the touchxperience forums and by the e-mails he received. He's decided to suspend public beta for now.

This is part of an e-mail that private beta testers received.

To all those who felt that that schaps stole your money, it isn't true! First off, you've donated. He didn't force a gun to your head and ask you for money. And second off, all those donations help him get new devices. For now, he can only make a QVGA and VGA version of TouchXperience. Thanks to all your donations, he can and might buy a Touch HD or a Xperia. That should get things working for the WVGA part of touchxperience. So donations indeed do help! It also motivates him to work more on TouchXperience, because in this economy, who couldn't use a little extra money? ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
Totally agree :D

Since the popularity of the HTC touch devices (like Diamond) there are so many free loaders on here, who want everything for nothing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ulluvme:
Real Issue

I too am a disappointed donor. I did not donate to receive a benefit beyond the thought of supporting the project. However my decision was based upon promises as to features and release dates promises made by Schapps that led me to believe that the project was worth donation.

Quite honestly I am in shock at how many broken promises Schapps has made. Broken promises which I imagine induced waves of donations. Each posting about a coming release yielded new interest. Say what you want but ethics and integrity are lacking.

It is simple....tell people you will release when you are ready. Schapps has received a great degree of donations from his unreliable promises and now seems to act inncoent of any responsibility.

It would be like the United Way not supporting projects after taking donations.

Sincerely,

George Castrataro, MPH, JD
