Notes & Updates

TF3D 2.5 will be out with TF3D2.1 in ROM is final.

To all those that complained about public & private ROMs. This is what the Public ROM would have been like. If you have a problem with that and never said thanks or made a small donation then you should have never complained at all. I do not even use TF3D myself and I spent many many many hours getting this right out the door the first time to save users the time and hassle of continuous flashing.

The private ROM would have had some updated graphics. New wait cursor, new splash screen and some other minor graphic touch ups. Plus a few more tweaks till I hold off on final build to remove any factors if bugs pop up.

Is that so much of a difference?

If you think it is about greed and money here are some facts:

My total donations were $648 after PayPal fees.

I bought on of those invisible shield protecters and desktop cradle.

Rest of funds went for new phone and I added another $120 to get phone.

New phone, that I just got was used as partial payment to pay my friend who is assisting me in my new ROM tool and XDA Dev App Store. People always do not work for free, if they ever do nor do I expect them too. He is not a member of the XDA community yet and first time with Windows Mobile phone. He is a brilliant programmer and together we are going to make the most kick ass App XDA has ever seen :D I want this project to take off so if I have to make a sacafrice or two so be it. You can find the link for it in my signature if you are not aware of it.

I had donations from $1 to $100 to a new device when a new model drops and everyone was treated the same.

Now that I said a no more private ROMs, the amount of messages and/or emails to say thanks has dropped 98%. Since last night the ROM has been downloaded nearly 400 times. Very few of you took the time out to say thanks in the thead. A thanks goes just as far as a donation.

So on that note...the final 3.0 ROM will be my final ROM for a long time. I need to find some more work that pays so I can fund my new project and will not have the time to do both. I was hoping the kindness shown by doublecheese and everyone else who donated would rub off on people but it has not. After I released new ROM I have not received one donation. Not a big deal but could have used donations to fund project. What is a bigger deal to me and I do not care if you think I am just saying this is the ratio of times the ROM was downloaded to the amount of posts that said thanks.

Yes, before it was not about donations but I guess now it sort of is. I really want my ROM Tool and XDA Dev App Store (Up to devs if they want to charge for their Apps...I have no say in that) to take off but I can not handle the programming side or the financial side myself currently. So I have to work more during the free time I have to raise enough funds to be able to give my friend some payments and to pay for server. I appreciate the offers for free server space but what this proejct will entail I would rather do it right and have it totally under my control. I do not expect anyone to work for free and if you do may I come to where you work and ask for free services?

Anyways...After 3.0 I am not sure when a new ROM will be out. I will have very little free time and I am not sure that is enough time to put out the type of quality ROMs that I like to publish. If I lose my offer of new next device because of that then so be it. Some times in life sacrifices have to be made and that is one I am willing to give up to keep my other project going.

Please take a look at my ROMs and others to see the difference.

I will let me work speak for itself.

If you want to still say it is about greed please leave an explanation.
