[General Questions and Answers] bobsbbq:
I agree with most of your post except the bold part. In general yes, people have the ultimate right to share or not. The result may or may not be received well to whom it effects. What most of this topic and complaint is about was certain actions of certain people from Htcpedia. Not everyone as a whole. The cooks/moderators that left were all rooted from XDA many of them learned everything they know about cooking from XDA. So there is a little respect that should be owed to where you have grown your roots. These four or 5 people were given Elite privileges over their own Htcpedia members by the way of new sources etc. This would have been OK with most if they did not put it on XDA. However When you are posting new and unreleased sources in a ROM publicly that has not been shared with XDA, there is some lack of respect happening. But it has been clear that these few loyalty to XDA has been gone since they moved over to Htcpedia from the beginning. Now to some here at XDA may have looked at it as stealing members, or whatever due to the fact everything had to go through HtcPedia. And what better way to build membership than having a few of the top cooks dangle a few carrots in front some users to get them to download from HtcPedia where they have to register.

Myself personally I only think TOM should have Done what he promised when these issues were raised, and that was. He promised he would not let any ROM's with new unpublished sources be released in Public on XDA until the sources have been shared to XDA. I know he made this promise for fact. But then backed out of it.

Now I know to most users you will just be glad to get it and you don't care where it comes from. I know and I understand this. But for other cook here who you have grown together within the XDA community it really showed a lack of respect for XDA.

You have to remember different people have different feelings about XDA or any business for that matter as it depends on how or what you use it for.

If I'm going to buy gasoline, diesel, or Petrol, All I care is that I get it in my tank. I don't care where it came from or who distributed it to get it there.

Now if I worked in the industry and had closer ties to the oil or transportation industry I may take more notice to things behind the scenes, like what company transports the product etc etc. This is true with XDA many members here are more loyal to XDA than just a user looking to fill their tank. So some are going to have feelings tied deeper inside to these kinds of things that have been happening.

Anyway good to see the thread back on Topic and no it should not be closed. This is the place to discuss these things, not in the other development threads.
[General Questions and Answers] bobsbbq:
The thing is many cooks like myself, I cook for me and me only. I do take some request like for CHS/ CHT stuff but my core ROM is the way I want it. I only share it for others. I get people all the time ask me why don't I take out my wallpapers change this etc. I don't and won't because it is built for me.

This is much of why we have many cooks, Too many I don't know, there always seems to be people wanting something different.
[General Questions and Answers] appelflap:
Reaction to bold: and that is a nice thing to do. Nothing wrong with that. I even appreciate thát. The problem is that there are too many chefs taking their hobby way too seriously. They seem to make it a sort of business and their game seems to be to convince as many users as possible to flash their rom. The weird competition that is following from this is screwing up the atmosphere in some forums. And that's a pitty. No sharing, no interests for eachother, just solistic competitive users. The result of this seems to be that a forum like ROM-Development has almost nothing to do with real rom-development. All it seems to be is a stupid marketplace of way to may roms.

A solution to all this may be to create in each section a new forum, like for example Custom Roms or ROM "marketplace", so all cooks and chefs can go there with their business. That may create a more sharing atmosphere in the Rom Development forums, where cooks, users and chefs can meet to share experiences and knowledge.
[General Questions and Answers] Laurentius26:
Indeed that's the way to go but don't forget this thread is opened with the question 'Why is chefs leaving?'

I disagree with you Appelflap 'to many chefs taking their hobby way to serious'.

It's a good thing if you have a passion because if we didn't have that this discussion even didn't started and we would have a lame board with chefs.

The chefs that left would be still doing there anoying policie here on the board. ;)

I'm happy that seems to be changed thanks to this passion some people have for there work and XDA.
[General Questions and Answers] smuppy:
+10... your roms own for WVGA just as michyprima rules my VGA-world. And with that I do not say that the work of other chefs are not good, just that they dont taste what I want them to taste ;)

[General Questions and Answers] appelflap:
Don't get me wrong Leo. It is a beatiful thing that such a thing as rom cooking/tweaking can grow out to a passion. What I meant was that it seems like people are thinking to do some business here with their roms. Ok, one can discuss if that is a nice thing or not... I don't want to discuss that. What I want to discuss is if it is possible to create a separate forum or section for that. I think it would be nice to have a seperate ROM development forum where users (also new ones) can share experiences, knowledge, stuff.. without being bothered by all those [ROM] threads and high "standards".

BTW I don't get it that chefs are posting their roms in the development forum in a thread with a [ROM] prefix. Weird convention, because when I look at the rom development forum i see this:

[ROM]....

[ROM]....

[ROM]....

[ROM]....

[ROM]....

[ROM]....

Best rom?

[ROM]....

[ROM]....

[ROM]....

[ROM]....

[ROM]....

Lol. Maybe the convention should be: if you have something else to say or ask in the rom forum, use the prefix [NO ROM] and let chefs publish their roms without any prefix in the thread-title :D

Ok, way off topic (or not, maybe THAT's because chefs are leaving. To many [ROM][ROM]....[ROM] LOL)
[General Questions and Answers] appelflap:
Pretty stupid shop. How difficult is it to display HD2 accessoires when you are downloading a HD2 rom. BTW where are you going with that rom from miri :)
[General Questions and Answers] Laurentius26:
We have separate sections here at XDA.

'Development' and 'ROM Development'

It seams logical to me that all ROM related stuff goes in 'ROM Development' and because you also have other threads with other subjects then a cooked ROM release

it also seams logical to me that if you publish a rom you put '[ROM]' at the start of the title so people can see the difference between a shipped/cooked/other subject. :)

If I remember ok that rule was invented in Blackstone forum if I'm not mistaking. :)

And I think you know just as me that's not the reason why these chefs are leaving so stop with your silly jokes please they are not funny to my opinion. ;)

Feel a need to add a reply here.

NOTE: This post is done without knowledge of the company I work for. I will not in any way respond to specific questions regarding my position, status or anything that can be connected to my true identity, so dont bother asking.

NOTE TO ADMINS: the IP used in this session is also of no use in tracing me, it will show you a location in Sweden which is not quite where I am right now.

With that said, I can now focus on what I just registered to do here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two companies you refer to in this post regarding XDA-developers "to be or not to be" are very well aware of your actions, progressions in software-development, bug-reports, "tweaks", roms and everything else that this forum produces.

I know that the one I work for is watching this forum very close in order to find bugs in new builds and in the pre-installed software. To us, you are our test-base for new builds - both OS and rom. We are extremly thankful for everything you report and personally I feel sad about not being able to thank you all in a more official way.

Regarding builds and roms and "leaks"... My answer is YES, we are very well aware of the fact that new builds are leaking but it is done in a controlled way. We "use" you to include the new builds in roms and try them out because your userbase is so much larger than what we could ever manage, so your findings are very useful for us.

As a summary I want to say thank you, thank you for all your work. You have no idea on how much this community has helped us in developing the products which - in the end - you use. Thank you.

Remember, this is not an official statement from any of the companies involved in this discussion, this is merely my own thoughts and feelings towards this community. Please do not ask me any questions regarding who I am or who I work for, I will not reply to this.

Note to admins: Please delete this account, it will never be used again.

EDIT

-----

I forgot one thing. When reading through this thread again I realized that Chainfire and others are correct regarding the fact that the other company seem to use ideas from some of the large number of applications developed by people within this community. Personally I think this is a huge rip-off and that they should seriously take a step back and consider what it is they are actually doing.

On the other hand, they might see it as "we pretend we dont see when they use leaked roms which really is IP and hence illegal, so we can take their ideas (and sometimes even the whole concept with design and everything) and inplement this in our products".

I dont know and I dont want to know but I dont like the fact that they are doing this.

Continue your great work and... prepare for the future.

Please do remember that all that I have written here are my personal feelings and thoughts, nothing of this is official or should be considered as an official statement from any of the two companies mentioned in this thread.

Thank you for your views and comments. I know you don't agree with it, just wanted to point out that the quote in bold above makes no sense whatsoever. Devs are (often) not chefs and vice versa, they just both 'hang' here. There is so much "logically" wrong with that quote... It's more or less "the chewbacca defense", for those who watch South Park :)

HTC really did a number on some of us, sadly enough there is nothing at all we can do about it.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
It goes without saying that the build is for the CDMA handset and has no sim components built into the software like sim contacts manager, this also effects entering the network unlock code, the phone just comes up network locked with no prompt to enter the code. Drop back down to a GSM build to enter NCK then back up to a Eris build...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestrafer:
Here's a thing..

When I try and flash the RC29 image (FAT32 format microSD, copy DREAIMG.NBH over, boot with power / camera) the bootloader goes through the 'checking' process but then displays '00058002' in red text at the top and drops back to bootloader.

Any clues as to why it could be doing this? I've used the same process to root another G1 fine with same SD card, and Google searches yield no clues.

Making a GoldCard with QMAT did not help as well.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Exca:
Hello folks,

I have my topaz for about 2 months now and tried different roms, apps, settings. The reason I bought is was because I found the android interface unattractive, I don't like it. Also I didn't like the iPhone, comparing Sense on wvga next to iPhone; well it pisses the iPhone away in my opinion and it is too expensive for what you get.

I really like Sense 2.5 and windows mobile combination. For me it's sense 2.5 or nothing. I'm a PC fan and i like the way everything synchronizes, the way i can explore the phone and all the modifications possible provided through this forum.

But the one thing that sets me off is the HTC messaging (like always) which is slow and still, i like the windows mobile messaging better. Now either way, I have this problem with the phone that doesn't seem to get solved no matter which rom I use, no matter if it's HTC messaging or windows messaging...

I don't receive many text messages that are sent to me :mad:

My GF has sent me 6 text messages all over the day for which she received a delivery notification and I got plain nothing. It happens all the time the last 2 months, beginning from stock rom and radio to the latest topaz sense 2.5 rom and radio.. then I need to explain i wasn't being ignorant but my 360€ cellphone just doesn't show them.. yeaaaa sure. The thing is; when I press All Messages sometimes nothing happens, thats the point where I think "not again" because then the messaging application failed again and god knows for how long it has already been freezing and how many messages I missed.

I'm a heavy texter and texting is just the one thing I want to do..

I'm thinking of selling this thing which I think is too expensive, and going to an android device.

Does someone else experience these problems too?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] grahamkdt:
Mmmm...

I can't see that this has anything to do with which ROM you use. Most of the ROM's here don't come with radios anyway, so you'll need to flash that seperately. It sounds more like a network carrier issue to me. You could try contacting your provider for support and see what they say. Or try a few different radios - there are a number of revisions in this forum.

I've never had a text message issue at all, so I can't really suggest anything else. What carrier are you with?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Exca:
It's ever since i have this device, already have a new sim which didn't solve anything. I'm with Mobistar. I don't have it with my spare samsung....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] supreme_one333:
While I don't have problems receiving messages, my messaging is also really buggy and takes forever to load and send. I just deleted all my messages and that seemed to solve the problem. You mentioned you are a heavy texter so maybe all the messages are causing your messanger to freeze and lose texts.
