Hi,

first I must say, this is realy the best rom I ever tested.

But I have one problem: I've installed the repacked german version of opera (download is in the first post) and it need 20-25 seconds to open. :confused:

Has somebody an idea to solve this problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pchronos:
Hotmail stops working

First off, awesome ROM except for one critical problem for me to go back to another ROM.

I use Hotmail with "as items arrive" and after awhile I cannot sync anymore with the service without reseting the phone.

This was not an issue with the Wildberry ROM if that helps at all.

Other than that best ROM (WWE) for me so far....

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Woschdbauer:
why would you guys ban alpha, thats just ridiculous?! and above all why wouldnt you give us a reason?! Thats just bull****!

Immer die spastenadmins, die ihre autorität im inet ausnutzen müssen!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] logger:
Yep...

I am sure they have their reasons. Tread on toes around here and all sort of things come into play. Thoughts that come to mind are, Rivalry, Allegiances, Egos, New kids on block, power bases, Pettiness etc. I s'pose a bit more transparency would be nice when bans that effect lots of third parties are put in place. On the other hand divulging the reasons would create another sh1t fight I suppose.

There is a fund raising thread for another Chef started by a mod and my bet is that the catalyst for the ban is therein, although the genesis of it lies further back. Have to say I was uncomfortable with that thread existing too. Was it really necessary? But because it seems a mod created it, all is OK.

As long as the ban is not too long it is not a big deal. Alphas ROMs speak for themselves. Simple, fast, no bull****.

BTW I really like the new graphic in the first post of this thread.

Hoping to see you back soon AZ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JimmyMcGee:
I cannot divulge information regarding other peoples punishments. Privacy and all. However, if you don't watch your tone, you will get to see the Ban Process first hand. :)

You would be incorrect.

Anyone is allowed to display disagreement with others, including mods. The way in which you handle doing so, both Publicly and Privately, is the key. If you disrespect anyone on these forums, you may find yourself in trouble.

As to the Fund Raising Thread, If you guys wish to set up a Fundraiser for any chef, even AlphaZero to get a device, that is your deal. People helping People, that's the spirit of XDA-Developers. :)

There is a community atmosphere here and that was the intent of the thread, to give back to someone who has given so much. The fact that the Thread Creator is a Mod, means nothing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] logger:
Can we set up a fundraiser for him - to buy a "get out of jail" pass :D

WRT to transparency - Do you moderators routinely get to see the reason for other mods bans? If that is the case, then there is some comfort that the process is audited to a degree, giving it some credibility. If you do not - the process is open to Question.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JimmyMcGee:
You don't want to know how much a Get Out of Jail Free Card would cost. ;):p

Your other question, yes, I can go and see the reason that people were banned. I can see who banned him, when and for how long. Any mod can see that and Flar, the Administrator, can as well.

In addition to that power, the moderators are very good at communicating to other moderators, what they've done, to who and when. Sometimes we will ask other moderators if our proposed actions are the best. In no way should anyone ever feel that Moderators have unlimited power. A moderator's worst critic is the group of other moderators. And since all moderators have their "favorite" Sections this brings fresh opinions to the table, the outside observer if you will.

For example, how often have you seen my name in the Diamond Section? :)

Also, Just a little note, the Moderator you all are probably thinking banned AlphaZero, did not, in fact, ban him. So believe me when I say the Moderators are busier than it looks. It almost looks like we are Ducks. In that sometimes we look like we are just floating across the water, but underneath our feet are just working away.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kirileman:
I am sorry but if that's so, then someone else should had been banned years ago! But he is a "hard spl" expert and the community needs him, that makes him irreplaceable, doesnt it. Therefore he can say whatever he wants and do whatever he likes. On the other hand, AZ has violated the rulez and he has been punished for that...

From my point of view, xda-developers is a typical modern community, just like real world. And one word crosses my mind, a Greek word.

Hypocricy!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
..and since it's democracy (another Greek word), we are all entitled to an opinion, even for expressing it. What makes me wonder is that, if you have such a "hypocricy"al opinion about this community, and you are still part of it, doesn't that make you a snob both for being part of it and using that other "hard spl expert"'s solutions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Belzebuth.:
How long?

How long is AZ banned from here?

If we talk about democracy (and is it the place to talk about it?):

Does he knows how long? Does he knows all the facts against him? Does he have a chance to defend him or to tell his feelings, his point of view or his sentiment of injustice? Was there a Modo, or an other representative member to defend is position or is he supposed to be totaly "BAD"?

I'm not participating on this forum since very long, so I don't know the whole story, but this seems the results of different incidents who where never completly solved, and I think this ban was in the air since a lot of time... This is a "Dark Page" for this community...:(

I found here, lotS of people giving the best of themself, to give their knowledge, helping "Noobs", working togheter to solve different problems, for FREE or just a little "Thanks"... And that is not the real world...

And now, I feel sad and desapointed. It sounds more like "Welcome BACK in the real world!"...:(

Can a Modo, please, answer this questions (to close this discussion, if not, to open an other thread somewhere else on the forum), and can we, all, please, go back to the reason of this thread: trying to help each other, solving issues with the AZTOR V7 ROM...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Woschdbauer:
hey guys,

talking of democracy...! Somebody gets banned and the others are not told why. I express my opinion and being reprimanded and threatened to be banned as well! ("you will get to see the Ban Process first hand.")!

Dont know why but i cant shake off the feeling that this really bears a striking resemblance to the time my grandma always talks about, ok people got deported instead of banned but well they werent heard of anymore, same result. Maybe we should also start saying "Heil Admin!" at the beginning of every post to show our allegiance to the board of the united admins of xda-developers...! Lets see if that gets me banned, wouldnt surprise me!

greetz,

woschdbauer
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Belzebuth.:
Please, keep cool, guy...:cool:

If JimmyMcGee told you about the ban, it was not as much about your opinion as about the way you wrote it!!!

When, we read what you write, it sounds more like provocation...:o

There is no question of allegiance to the board, but more "to be constructive" ffor being a better board tomorrow...;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pietje_1985:
I was just about to say that....:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Da_Kem:
What I miss in this socalled democracy is the verdict. If they are so "transparent" it would be not more than normal that a moderator tells the reason and length of the ban. And don't bull**** about privacy and that sort stuff. It is in the communities well being that the "Law" is open and transparant and not so closed as it is now. This hangs more to a sect with some gods and lesser gods and us being the followers who are not allowed to question the gods. We have to just sit and do as we are told.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] logger:
Well actually...that is not "the reason" for this thread.

This thread was created by Alphazero (otherwise known as the Banee) to promote/distribute/make known his ROMs which are an excellent alternative to others ROMs. He came up with an original idea in regard to what user want...this is proven by the AZTOR ROMs popularity.

This thread is not about solving issues with his ROM. If used as directed, they just work. Minimal issues.. Pietje, your request to "..all, please, go back to the reason of this thread" is sort of like asking to have a party without the host. Lets just pretend nothing happened.

At least from my point of view, I am well satisfied with the AZ7 Rom and there is nothing out there that beats it at the moment. So I cant see myself changing to anything else in a hurry. So I am OK.

However I do feel quite disenchanted with the process at XDA. I cant help feeling someone is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Happy to be proven wrong though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kirileman:
I can live without his solutions, i can live without cooked roms as i have lived so many years, but i can't live without dignity. Can you?

Plz, don't assume that you talk to some htc fun boy at the age of 16 with little or no education and plz don't talk to me about democracy! I have just said what everybody keeps locked in his mouth, nothing more, nothing less. And the reason why these thoughts are rarely transformed to words, is obvious...

To the point:The rules are modified according to our interests. Its a typical dilemma. You have a guy who offers so much with his work but at the same time, he insults others and violates some basic rulez. What are you going to do about it??? Are you ready to follow the rulez in order to protect this community like you have done with AZ or anyone else? What does AZ has to do to place himself "above the law"?

Actually, its a rhetorical question (so many Greeek words today), the answer of which i don't expect, not from you, not from anyone. After all, you had the chance to answer and look what you have said! You did nothing but turning the subject against me although i am not the problem, nor the solution. The solution stands between the moderators but it's a hard one, it's a hard decision like all right decisions, but who has the guts to take it?

Nothing more, sorry for the offtopic. I am ready to accept the "punishment" if i have just violated some rulez i am not aware of or (as a famous administrator-cooker would say), if i have done damage to this forum...:eek:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pietje_1985:
I think you're right.....nothing else to say....hope this wil not keep going on here on XDA....it's not good for the atmosphere....just continue were we where left....;)(hope you all understand what I mean:o)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] losdrivare:
I just want to raise my voice and ask that the reason for and duration of the ban of AlphaZero be made public.

Keeping it in the dark leave too much open to speculation IMO and works against the spirit of this community. Alphazero wasn't just any member, he was a cook and a major contributor to the Diamond section here. A lot of people here are affected by his absence.

Transparency is good. I ask that the Mods tell us the reason for the ban - if it's good we will understand and support it.

This banning buissiness is interesting,people generally people behave themselves but occassionally get it wrong, i work in a Secure Psychiatric Ward and on a regular basis am threatened with violence and abuse so i have use conflict resolution skills to de-escalate situations,over the years i have had many broken bones and bits of me smashed.Yes when all options have been exhausted we may restrain and seclude the patient but in my eyes we have failed and have taken control away from the individual and in turn makes it more difficult to work with them.Yes patients get angry and yes everyone has the right to be heared and where i can, i allow it, i never take it personally.My long winded point is that yes where you have very clever people who make awsome roms for us you will have people being competative or forming alligences and it sometimes ends up in conflict,i feel the mods do not always look at the bigger picture when it comes to the rules and how they are interpreted it would have nice if this had been dealt with behind the scenes,rules if interpeted diifferently are just being bent prehaps and its always good to think outside the box,its a shame Alpha is a good guy if not a little hot headed at times this could have been handled better as the whole community is missing out on good roms and is now sitting in judgement.

ROM freezes my HTC Touch Diamond

Hi, I've flashed my ROM with the 1.94 AZTOR and it freezes everytime the Touchflo demo starts. I've tried a hard reset, clear storage and tried to reinstall the ROM (not possible b'cos Active Sync is also not responding). If someone can help me get out of this mess (I tried all this since I heard the speed was great, etc.) I'd be really grateful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
What do you when you flash it ?

Maybe try hold volume down button and reset.. And do it from there.. If that not works either, try put it on your device and do it from there. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Belzebuth.:
For Hard Reset, look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2775004&postcount=1762

I think you did not a Hard Reset after Flashing...

ROM freezes my HTC Touch Diamond

Thanks Danny & Belzebuth. This is the history: I bought my phone from a service provider with ROM 1.37 version and then unlocked the sim. Just today, I tried to use AZTOR 1.94 ROM to upgrade. The ROM upgrade went fine, but when my Touchflo demo (when you start the phone first time, this appears by default) screen came on, it froze. I then did a hard reset, but no luck. Then I tried to flash with Olinex ROM 1.4 but still did not respond. Now, I'm in big trouble. My cellular radio (GSM) is also not getting on so I cannot receive or make phone calls too. Is there anyway that I can just restore my ROM to the manufacturer default version? I'll be happy with that! Thanks in advance...

This whole conversation has made something that was no one's bznz besides Alphazero into a freak sideshow.

It is the posts made in the whole "Why did he get banned" discussion, that have made this whole matter look worse then it is

In about 4 hours this whole mess will be over and AlphaZero will be able to talk with us or whoever it was that banned him.

If just because someone has a big following and fanclub, should become the reason not to enforce a small ban then what good is it to moderate.

Stop this nonsense,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JimmyMcGee:
You are allowed your opinion but once you break "professional" talk and say words like "Bull****" and what not, you have crossed the line. The rules are there. Watch the language we are all professionals here.

Exactly, I'm not the only one who saw it.

Exactly, Why Did you bother? I've been wrong in the past, admitted it and corrected my fault

This is totally ridiculous that this has gotten so out of hand. Alphazero got a Very short ban in terms of Bans.

Everyone should remember that the rules are the rules and are enforced regardless of your standing, popularity or anything. If you ever think someone is getting special treatment, report it. Message the Administrator, or another mod.

Moderators are volunteers and we have to make the hard calls sometimes. As you can see it's not always popular, but to cause all this commotion does nothing to better the community and Impacts us all.

hello people

1. thx for everyone who supported me i really appreciate

2. my thread is messed. up by mods thx for this

3. i still dont know the reason of the ban or who banned me. im asking honestly and i allow the mod who has done it to say the reason publicly

4. i had no chance to defend myself but the mods and others keeped talking about me but on the other side threaten people who talk bad about them (mods)? hey this was a way out of line.

me including the people want a answer to this questions. and please all other mods keep out of this. i want a final post of the responsible mod and we are done with this.

as one of my favorite mods would say: " the damage is already done to you"

now im not sure who had damage of this. did i had the damage ? really ?

Now i lighten up the people here:

i was banned and logging in i saw this reason

a) Non-constructive posts and b) fighting with other XDA members.

this was all i got. My ban was immediatly after my comment on the dutty fundraiser thread. at no time i used offending language there the thread is already present and can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=441734

im making roms and support them and yes the number of them is 36. (unconstructive?)

who ported manila hd and was working on it ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=440861

yes it was me (unconstructive ?)

who made according the benchmark thread (wich is a sticky and thx pietrucci) the fastest rom ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406640 [unconstructive] ?

this list is endless but i stop here. all people who say they even didnt know me i can tell: yes i dont wanna be known.i can live better without fame and trouble.

read back in the history. who made a solution to unbreak propher with damaged bootloader ? on the year 2006

yes it was me

the mod who banned me show us your greatness publicly say that you made a failure and did something wrong this time. even i did errors in the past

PS: you closed other threads where my ban was discussed and keep on writing off topic on this thread on the other side you warn and even ban users here for this. at least the mods should know that this is not kind.

Some of you mods even wasnt registered here when i worked about solutions how to unbrick repair or make windows mobile devices faster.

Looks like everyone needs to relax a little.

It was a small temporary ban. It may have been unjust (We do not know the details - thus we cannot really judge) but it's done now and everyone needs to get past that and realise we are a community here and not opposing factions waging war. We are all here for the same goal.

Alphazero has been unbanned and everything is back to normal. So let's get on with normality and be a community once again.

Just my 2c.
