Every one got assistence one way or the other and as far as I know there were no team themes. If your referring to me and spoon, we each had our own theme. I had mine and he had his. There was assistance given on both sides, just as assistance was given to everyone who was taught how to edit .9.pngs by Damnitpud.

This competition was as fair as it gets.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] shaneaus:
I can only speak as a non-developer at this point. However, I agree with the following:

Designated judges that will review every theme in depth should be given a majority of the weight when deciding the winners - up to 60%! - AND, I recognize I was NOT one of the judges!

The Donators should be given the second highest percentage/weight of vote because they will be next most likely to review every theme.

Regarding download stats as related to the competition - the stats related to the above persons should be the only download stats that should matter at all - to make sure the themes WERE evaluated!

Manup - "Where im going with this is how can someone who has know idea about graphics and how much work it would take to make some of the stuff inside these themes how could they be judged properly?" - I can't develop apps/themes, but I have done extensive graphics design for web pages. Many of us may not be theme developers but you won't find many people on this type of forum that don't have some sort of experience with some portion of what a theme developer does.

I also agree with Prash's comments - This theme contest should not be about the money! (Although, that is easy for me to say as it isn't my work/effort involved in making the themes) Most of you enjoy making the themes. I enjoyed graphics design when I had the time.

It SHOULD be about promoting great theme development, further learning for the devs, fun for those of us who review, and promotion of theming/development in general.

BTW - Manup - I must say I keep coming back to your theme MoonDust - it is awesome!

Thanks to all of the theme developers!

I CAN'T WAIT for the next competition!

The theme i entered no one helped me with i did that all my self and your not the only one who teamed up. Guys dont get me wrong its not a big deal i just like a good debate lol....its all good i wont speak on the topic anymore since its a touchy subject. I found out how to edit .9.png after the comp but would it be fare if i did have him working with me and the other designer didnt that would give me a upper hand or if i had the only person on the site who edits .xml ;) bro im not attacking you i hope you know that,because you have been a big help to me in the past and your work is still appreciated. :cool:

Lets get over this comp maddness and move on to some new cutting edge stuff. :)

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] dandaninc:
Why do you always have to yell at me? :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] brandenk:
OMG, some of the things you guys are arguing about are just dumb. I can remake every single file in a theme, do the .9.png edits, and start digging around with the xml hacks in a lot less than a month. The hard part isnt how long it takes to make, its about how creative you can get with it.

A month is more than enough time to make a theme, take the Dark Knight theme for example, as far as I know he didn't have a partner or anything helping him out, but I can tell just from looking at the screenshots he put more thought and effort into his theme than any other theme to grace the Android operating system. True it didn't get the best marks here from the community, largely due to it being a specific theme instead of a universal theme, but I can assure you the judges notice those things and they go a long way. Of the 3 or so themes that stood out in my mind Dark Knight is by far the most memorable and because of this I have made it my new personal benchmark for every theme of mine to come.

This competition has been amazing in so many ways! This community rocks and even though doing this comp was one of the dumbest things I have ever volunteered for I think it was well worth it. I just cant wait to enter the next one! :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rickyteddyb:
Ohh man Brandenk, i thought just a handful of us realized just how great the Dark Knight theme is. Welcome to the club.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] shaneaus:
No, the Dark Knight theme was AWESOME. I would agree that the only reason it didn't get higher marks was because it was specific and not universal.

@ Brandenk - "A month is more than enough time to make a theme" :( That really depends on three things. How well you know the technique/software/graphics manipulation, how much time you have, and how much troubleshooting you have to do for new xml/.9.png edits. I know there is NO WAY I could make a theme in one month simply because I don't have the time to learn what I need to in that time frame as well as do the above.

I must say THANK YOU for volunteering to run the competition! It was great from the donator end and I think all of us involved appreciate your effort.

@Manup - I think you did a great job. As far as your remarks about the competition - you will find those same issues in almost every competition. If you enter your car into a "car show/competition" you'll have the same issues. The problem isn't how many people work on a specific theme it is in how difficult it is for the competition managers to include different categories/determine if anyone worked as a team, reward money management and overall requirements/management of the competition. It is a hassle and a pain and you can never satisfy everyone. Don''t get discouraged because some people have partners/teammates just know that your theme was awesome and take pride in your ability to do it yourself without help!

I can only say as I have said before... Thanks to EVERYONE involved for a great job. What is so great about a theme competition is that even if one doesn't personally like a particular theme - it is nice to see the work/thought/artistic ability/graphics design/integration/etc that goes into them.

You are all great!

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ultra spikey:
So when are the winners announced?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] brandenk:
Im counting them up as fast as I can. I kinda shot myself in the foot by making everyone graded against each other and assigning points to ranking per category, per type of voter. lol

The counting as of this moment is about 2/3 of the way done and at this point there are no clear winners. The popular vote wasnt the best representation because you could only choose 1 option but in the contest you could choose 5, now that I am counting up all the numbers things are becoming a much closer battle.

I am going to work my absolute hardest to get the results posted before midnight PST.

Oh and btw, whatever I'm getting paid for this I want it doubled!!!..........Oh wait..........lol
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] brandenk:
Results are posted!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rickyteddyb:
Wow congrats to glossuite. Great universal theme. I'm glad Dark Knight got second place. It was well deserved. When i looked at the polls i was scared it wouldn't be in the top 3. I'm glad it stole the judges hearts cause it stole mine too.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] samysam05:
I agree... dark knight stole my attention as well, so did moondust...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] brandenk:
The poll was a poor representation of the ballots submitted, the poll was only for overall instead of breaking it down by category like it was for voting. The most interesting thing I found during counting the votes was that different forums seemed to prefer certain themes. Anyway, for our first competition I think we did really well and we learned a lot as well. I just cant wait for Gloss Suite vs. Aero part 2!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rickyteddyb:
get payed next friday, expect another donation. Everyone now sees where the bar is set, so give some more amazing work.

I'm already to start makin a theme for the new sapphire port, lol. I'm loving it so far, but I miss my google apps and my themes. I may play around with it some more and se what we can do theme wise:D

Edit: It looks like you will even be able to customize the keys and the rest of the appearance of the soft keyboard. This could get fun lol
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] pixel-painter:
I'm sorry I should have elaborated a little :) No offense intended but given a visual reference I would be unlikely to try every single theme out. I think this forces me to try out every single theme as opposed to the just the ones that appeal to my taste. :p
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] lilm:
congrats to the winners.......hi pixel small world isnt it:D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] shaneaus:
That is the whole point.. Every theme should be tested. I would think as a developer if I believed a judge wouldn't check out all my hard work just because it didn't appeal to his personal taste... Why bother?

Obviously, not every theme that has specific tastes did very well. If you look at Bloody and Purple Android - both really cool themes - but, tailored to a more specific taste. Just because one doesn't personally love the theme doesn't mean it shouldn't be judged for technical, artistic, comprehensive alterations, etc.

That is why I am in agreement with above posts that selected judges should be given much greater weight than popular vote. The popular vote people won't take the effort to give each and every theme the attention deserved regardless of personal taste.

Don't get me wrong mass appeal should be considered. But, every theme deserves some display time!

Congrats to all involved!

I've written a (very) simple little script to wipe all of the application caches at once so that you don't have to manually type the name in for every single one.

Currently, it will wipe the caches of the following applications:

Browser

GMail

Tunewiki

Maps

Streetview

Myspace

Market

Pretty simple to use, just copy cachecleaner.sh to the root of your SD card and then run

su
chmod 777 /sdcard/cachecleaner.sh
cd /sdcard
sh cachecleaner.sh

All the caches are now clean!

OR

If you are looking for a way to run scripts such as this without typing in "sh scriptname.sh" every time, you can use the excellent GScript by rogro82. It will find the scripts automatically, all you need to do is add them to a list :]

Any and all feedback is appreciated

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] gaiter:
Hello all, after trying out a lot of ROM's you guys cooked and sticking to one I like best, I still have some wishes left with regards to the Polaris, and that is: Is there a phone-app that really works without delay? All (including the factory based) phone-apps i've used have a delay, and it is quite annoying when you want to type in a number (because it still is a phone!) and this is showed with a delay on screen. This gets worse when more memory/processor is used by apps, but without any fancy stuff it is already quite frustrating at times.

Anyone been on this quest so far?

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] gaiter:
Yes, i have a M2D rom install (shekar's) and its fast and reliable. Phone is however annoyingly slow, as in all other ROM's I tested, so I blame the Phone-app. Am I looking in the wrong direction?
[General Questions and Answers] jaxouk:
Hi all, this is my first post. Must admid i`m new to win mobile, but after owning a nokia n96 i had to abandon nokia.

My phone is an htc touch hd, it is running orange custom firmware (well, win 6.1 with orange rubbish all over it), i`ve been trying to remove this and came accross the cooked roms and this is where i have got a problem. I have downloaded duttys 2.1 extreme and have been trying to install it. When it start it the phone and pc stay at 0% and after a few minutes i get an error code "[262] UPDATE ERROR, when i click view document it open word and i have this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=435110 , I have went to this page and tried putting the 2 zip files in the 2.1 extreme folder and loading the update from them but am still having the same problem.

I just wondering is anybody knows what i can do to get this updated? Also is this the best rom available? i looked at the 2.2 but it seemed full of bugs.

Thanks in advance

[General Questions and Answers] -PiLoT-:
hhmmmm

well your half way there anyway. but remember the warranty may be voided, orange never really check but if your the cautious type id not continue

READ THIS

What is HSPL

* Hard-SPL a.k.a. HSPL is required if you want to flash any ROM other than the one intended for your device by your device's carrier (which can be a mobile phone operator or HTC themselves). Thus to avoid getting the "ERROR [294] : Invalid Vender ID" message whilst falshing

* Why do you need Hard-SPL: the stock (shipped) SPL that comes with your device will only accept NBH files signed by HTC. (This signature is a standard RSA signature, with 2048-bit long strong encryption.) Without worrying about the technical details - this means that if you change even one byte in the NBH file, it will break the signature and it will not flash via the stock SPL. This is not a checksum, it is a much stronger protection, and you cannot bruteforce bytes to fit the signature.

now we know what HSPL is you need to read this wiki page HERE

more info and help HERE

then you can do on the flash remember you nee yto put the roms NBH file into the sale folder as the custom RUU

[General Questions and Answers] luellen:
Hello. I'll apologize in advance for being technologically challenged. I bought an AT &T Tilt (HTC 8925) on Ebay almost a year ago and it worked fine for months. About a month or so ago, I started to get the message "no service" when I knew I was in an area of very good AT&T service. Within a day, I started to get the message "no sim" so I tried the sim in my husband's phone and it wouldn't work there either. So, I assumed the whole incident was due to a dying sim. I got a new sim and the phone worked great for about a couple of months. Then, last week, I started gettng the "no service" message again. This time, I sent the phone to HTC repair since they said they'd diagnose for free. They called me to tell me that the problem is I had a non-HTC supported ROM which ruined my main board and they could fix it for nearly $400. They say even though the phone is under warranty, the non-suppported ROM voids my warranty. They said the ROM was for a TYTNII and not 8925 and so it was just incompatible. Are they taking advantage of me becasue I don't know any better? I bought the phone specifically because it was unlocked and have never had a problem buying an unlocked phone online before. Do you think the person who unlocked the phone to sell it to me could have used the wrong ROM and it slowly damaged my phone or is that just nonsense? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] josefcrist:
have you tried to reflash it?
[General Questions and Answers] andrew-in-woking:
Get the phone back

Hi

I think that the HTC policy is unfair in practice but in theory they are right. There could be issues to do with charging and temperature which could, in theory, affect a conneciton to the mainboard. If HTC are willing to send you the phone back in the same condition as you sent it to them without charging you I would take this option and flash the "correct" ROM to the device to see if this makes any difference to the problem. The correct ROM would be an update from AT&T for the Tilt. The other thing is to get a second opinion from an independent phone engineer if you can find one. It may not actually need a new mainboard but a new SIM card holder. It would be difficult to say that the incorrect ROM would affect a SIM card holder, so HTC wouldn't diagnose the problem in that way.

Hope that helps.

andrew-in-woking
[General Questions and Answers] luellen:
Andrew,

When you mentioned charging and overheating, I did have to replace my battery as well, it just wouldn't hold a charge anymore. I wonder if you're on to something. I did ask them to send the phone back to me so I should have it in a few days. The other reply I got to my question suggested "reflashing". I really don't know much at all about all of this. Is there a link to how to flash it? I did update the ROM based on a suggestion from HTC using the link on thier website. Before I mailed the phone to them, they thought I might have a radio problem so they suggested the ROM update. I did the update for the tytnII. My phone doesn't have any AT&T software on it, it looks just like the TYNT II photo on the HTC website. Based on that, what would you suggest I "flash" and do you happen to have a link to step by step instructions?
