What you will find is that the ROM is undumpable because the rgu and dsm files have been erased and compressed into a single package, thus removing around 200 files from the \Windows directory on your device, less files in \Windows means a faster responce from the file system.

Notice how accessing \Windows takes a longer time than other folders? :)

Most of the time this is the reason behind removing those files...not to protect a ROM, however we all know there are a minority of users who will palm stuff off as thier own creation which is detremental to the people who do the real work...sure if somebody wants help then they will get it from the majority.....its not about EGO at all.

Do you think olipro charges for his unlocker because of EGO? NO! Its because hes protecting his interests and also deserves recognition for his countless hours of hard work.

They spend their own valuable time making the ROMs so they can do as they please, it's your choice whether or not you install it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] losdrivare:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know only two chefs here in the Diamond section protect their ROMs. The chefs who leave their ROMs open are in clear majority.

So, the community spirit seems pretty good to me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] panosha:
His ROMs are locked, mine are open. Great spirit. :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zaphyr:
I don't cook roms, but as a linux user I care about Open Source and alike. So I'll post my meaningless 2 cents ;)

Seems like senior members are for locked roms and charging for services, while members and junior members stand on the other side?

For the normal rom user, it doesn't really matter if the rom is locked or not, as long as roms are released. In my opinion though, releasing the roms under a GPL(-ish?) licence would make sure the original cook get the credits. Giving other cooks the possibility to look under the hood on your room, can in fact make it a better rom.

Now this, I strongly disagree on. IMO he would get much more respect if he shared his knowledge freely. There are countless examples of that in the world of GNU/Linux.

I think most ppl using XDA forums expect it to work like a open source community, and when they find out the cooks are protecting their roms and charging for services, they get a dissapointed, and need to whine a little.

Bottom line is, the cooks are free to do whatever they want with their roms. You get to use them freely on your device. You are free to support the cooks you want, so if you don't like locked roms etc...then use a rom from a cook that doesn't lock it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] alphazero:
panosha just sh.. up and dont make me talk here. your only a repacker and stealer. swtos will confirm this. im also a cooker who had the idea leaving cooked roms unlocked. but after seeing people like panosha repack things call it shine on and release it as a own work i lost that philosophie very fast.

his greek roms are partly all stolen by swtos.

my 2 cent

greetings go out to the real cookers like dutty swift swtos and others...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zaphyr:
Well, if you GPL'd it, and he broke the GPL, you could most likely ask the mods to remove his posts/account/rom from this and other forums.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Alpha, let it be then, why would you care anyway? However, to keep the honour to yourself, don't show PM's :)

About this Open Source Philosophy:

Open Source is fun and a way to get some work done for specific problems.

I am totally no fighter for Open Source when it comes to developping good applications. Good work needs to get PAYED. One needs to take their TIME to work on it to make it good. Time needs INCOME, one must eat too you know.

I am 100% confident that FREE software will never have the quality of commercial variants, just for that reason.

With Linux the OS is free, but the better distributions are commercial also, and in one or other way 'locked'. Just as with good roms here Only here, we do not have to pay for them. Yet.

Go Open Source, but don't go FREE. Trigger people to get best out of them. Reward them. And let them keep identity.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zaphyr:
Ok, lol! you have no idea have you. The BEST distros out there are free! Gentoo! Slack! Debian! C'mon dude :rolleyes:

Anyways, yeah, Open Source != free per definition
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] alphazero:
i would and will never show a private message i recieve here on public.

even if i could choose of hundreds =)

by the way panosha if you feel better i can tell you nearly every chef had that pm of me for wildberry.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] simcarloc:
Why do the moderators let Aplhazero persist with his insulting posts again and again totally unchecked?? Now he's making an as-yet unfounded allegation against another chef who from what I have seen is very helpful around here. Yet still nothing is done!

I find this bizzare considering Mods are so quick to react and stamp down on so called 'pointless' threads which are far less damaging imho.

Alpha needs to check his ego and stop treating people like they are beneath him.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
i have a question, for the people who blame others for stealing and re-releasing under there own work..... how can you tell? i mean, if everything is as openly available as most of the guys seem to think it is. then couldn't they have just got all there stuff from the same source? or is it its not openly available, and the only place they could find it is your rom so you know they have stolen it? Stealing with the intent to take credit for some one elses hard work is not a good thing. but i do believe in sharing.

but if no one shares, that leaves little other options? as time goes by, it looks like things are slowly getting a little bit more closed, pretty soon nothing will be shared. and thats when i worry the community will take a crushing blow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
you cant GPL something that was basted on stolen software i think.

the base os, sys, anything taken from an HTC rom is stolen. Microsoft doesn't just hand out new sys and os files. and HTC doesn't call us all up when a new oem package is out on a device.

thats just the point i dont get. it the guys who consider them selves real cooks stole it from some where els. why ware they worries about some one stealing a package from them. i can understand if some one took there rom and just changed the version on it and re released it but, that not the idea of most of us ere. and if you can prove some one is a thief expose him to his followers if you can prove it. proof is key to me before pointing the finger. :)

Nice to read this *****fight. Some are gentleman and some are not. @the end we are all thieves.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
in the eyes of microsoft i guess we are :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
well said. we ARE all thieves here. thats my point really. the cooks just steal HTC's and Microsoft's hard work (apps) as a base. then they customize it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mandragore:
That's a bold statement.. What if I say that Linux users, members and junior members are cheap freeloaders who only care about free software and don't care about open source? :rolleyes: We both know that's not true. At least not for all Linux users ;) Just like it's also not true that open source is the same as free software. It can be and it often is, but open source is not free..

Edit:

Ok, we agree on that ;)

As I wrote on the thread by Bram it´s a real shame to see xda going this way.

I try to help as much as I can but sometimes work gets in the way and I can´t perhaps offer as much support as I´d like but that´s life...

I have also learnt everything here reading and trying... the hard way I suppose..... BUT do you know what is really the most enjoyable part for me? It´s when one of the "big guns" helps you out with something you just can´t work out. My point, well... the enjoyment is often in that "free" sharing

I also think as time goes by there seems to be less resources or certainly things are held back. It´s happened already here on Diamond... perhaps someone has a new original ROM and doesn´t post it..... or not for a good while. I can understand people want to protect there resources but for such raw materials it would be great if they could be shared as soon as they appear.

It´s funny but all the recent OS and XIP updates I´ve received from other "old school" users here at xda who still (THANKFULLY) maintain this community spirit. It´s definately still there but it´s just getting a little harder to find.

I don´t have a problem with people locking custom cooked ROMs and I can understand why some do it but lets at least share the basics and new ideas... ;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
no one is unthankful. just some don't understand why things are so closed lately. thats all. much respect to the cooks. like i always give. as well as credit where credit is due.

its your call sir, hold out on the community or not. lol

its not always about the pat on the back. its about doing something because you wanted to, because no one els could and because you wantedto expand your knowledge.

can i ask you a question. all do respect of course because i do respect your work. but if no one stroked your ego (and dont deny it every one likes an ego stroke, even my self) and thanked you as much as they do for providing a great rom. would you still do it? because you like it? woudl you still give to the community that gave to you in your uneducated years regardless.

or would you quit because no one is there to pat you on the back and give you the thumbs up of approval?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ghettofreeryder:
Im not trying to piss anyone of, Im just saying it gets really frustrating when us CDMA guys cant even download a gsm carrier rom and if we do, its been locked by a cook. I always give props to the guys who have originally devloped stuff I borrowed, not because I dont know how to build the oem, but because I cant find a rom with the said files in it.

I guess i could have just send a pm, but still I think the underlying idea of a community is missing. Why not just remove the dsm and rgu from the files u dont want people to have access to?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] panosha:
I am 45 years old, I have 30.000 post in Greek forums, I am admin in biggest navigation and devices forum in Greece. A boy like you cannot prevent me to write.

Your first ROM for Diamond was published in 18/08/09, mine in 05/07/08, my ROMs are open, yours locked. How can I steal from you ?

Swtos has legaly problems in Greece for his Greek ROMs, I have not published Greek ROM, never, do not put his name next to dutty...

I have frequent (as long as allows my time) communication with certain members of community of Diamond and older polaris and kaiser. Exist also good members, where we collaborated, but we don't have the need to come out and to shout that we have the fastest ROM.

Boy, better you grow up and look at your own work, no others. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vicsmurf:

You keep splatter me on greek forums, but look , here on xda, all members can understand what a packer is ....

p.s. i think that someone produces some greek roms with my name and many signed greek files ( do you think that i don't know how to unsign a file, or how to translate it ??). The same guy possibly writes here on XDA with many different names ....

p.s.2: i'll stop here, please don't refer to my name again ....

p.s.3: The greek site you mention is yours ??? Tell to the people the truth ....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] alphazero:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mccune:
Once upon a time there was a small boy called McCune. McCune was eager to learn about a way to create an application to change register values on his device. He went on a long journey and stumbled upon a society called XDA. The first answer he received from the Guru’s present at XDA was to search for SDK and start reading… ..many hours McCune spend inside this humble society and he grew after time went by…

..But then all of the sudden the GOD by the name of HTC decided to create devices that were attracting to the “normal” people and lured them towards the great XDA society. Most of these people were impatient and greedy! A dark cloud spread all over the XDA society. The Guru’s started to hide by the overwhelming demand by the new people. The newcomers did not want to learn about the culture of XDA but started a rage among the population.

You can easily understand that some Guru’s were afraid that their knowledge would be stolen from them without knowing the origin of this greatly gathered knowledge. So they started to protect this knowledge and still found a way to give the majority the products they were so eager to use..

Fortunately there were still some elders on XDA that kept the peace and knew that if they just waited long enough the dark cloud would disappear and the community would be filled by info hungry people that would treat each other with the respect every human being deservers.

How did this end? Well some say that this battle is still alive in some dark hidden place on the internet. But we do hope that they will someday shake hands and live in peace happily ever after...

…And McCune? Well he just kept learning until the time comes where he can call himself a Guru. But that’s a place for only a few brave man that can standup, even in harsh times…

BUT really making this personal doesn´t help anyone here. What are we here for???

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sumitescp:
I have one thing to clear.

alphazero says that panosha steals peoples roms but i completely DISAGREE with that. Because alphazero himself steals the official rom, tweaks it and then releases as TOR. So isnt dat called stealing??? We are all thieves at the end of the day. Panosha is one of the very first chefs to make rom for diamond and he should be respected. Sorry if i am offending az or anyone else. All of us are different and have different natures so we might not get along with each and every single member of xda. But there must be respect for everyone or MODS should take some action maybe 1 week ban maybe 2 or maybe a month dependent on how serious the problem is. I dont cook because i dont know how to do it. If i did know i would just grab a base rom and add the packages myself that is the easiest thing to do and you can have a rom which you like and is customized by yourself and sharing that rom should be OK because other members on the community might like it. SO my point is no fighting please. Lock ur roms if you want to or keep them open if you are happy for other ppl to use it as base
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ghettofreeryder:
Again, im not trying to cause ****, but whatever happened to just giving someone some credit if you decompile and borrow part of a rom. Its not like there is a single chef in this forum who hasnt done that, or tries to do that.. Pretty much im just saying "Why cant we all just get along?"

Hi dear xda forum members, I have a question about huawei p10+, recently I read on the web that my used phone is eligible for update to Emui 9.0

So the story began yesterday when I contacted support to ask for update, the agent told me the phone is originated from spain and forwarded me, then I talked with the spanish agent, after checking serial number and imei, he told me that the phone is from the operator Movistar

Now I would like to know whether there is an update released by movistar spain for this phone, and how I can update my device without bricking it.
