One can always hope!

Indeed. The real shame of it is that ★ (Man, I love that name!) had obviously done his homework, and knew how to make a nicely developed, technically sound ROM. Some folks do not realize the work that goes into these. It's not just a matter of taking a kitchen, throwing in some cool graphics, and hitting "go". I do sympathize though, it must be extremely tiresome to build a ROM with your personal vision of what is good, only to have a bunch of folks

demanding you do this that & the other thing

It always stuns me the absolute balls some folks have, saying, "This doesn't work the way it does on so & so's ROM, when are you going to fix this, cause I need this...." I always want to say "then friggin' build it yourself, if it's so important to you"

Anyway, I am going to PM ★ & just ask nicely if he would consider bestowing another build on the world. His note indicated he got into Android, and that's cool; personally I like Android for the apps, since the platform has attracted the best developer (and apparently is pretty quick to develop on) but as an OS, it really does not have that much appeal to me over WM (especially once you have CHT & a decent ROM.) It's

nice

, and if I could get a build with the new Sense, with HTCSense.com & all the new theming goodies running in NAND, I would probably make the jump full-time. For now though, I am content to dabble there, with WM as my primary OS. WP7 could also be interesting, especially considering that HD2 is likely the only device to run all 3 OS's with any reasonable stability.

Ahh, but I digress (a LOT, LOL!) Do me a favor? shoot a PM to ★ as well, see if we can convince him he is loved and appreciated, LOL! If you haven't done a PM on here yet, just click on his Avatar, then you will get a drop down for messaging. With any luck, you & I will get a nice BUUF Xmas gift this year, LOL!

I will see you in the thread, just put a one liner in each time you drop by & I will do the same. Anyone who knows ★, tell him we miss him, LOL!

Oh, and the link for BUUF on VBN was not working for me at all, then member "PINki92" posted the ROM for me and I was set. To return that favor to the community, if anyone NEEDs the Buuf Version of this ROM, leave a request, and I will try to accommodate. May take a day or two sincee I don't check thread daily.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Blairware:
Sent a request for new ROM

Let's hope Star will have pity on us and deliver another astoundly good ROM:

What I did was shoot a note to saying: "Don't make me beg, it's not dignified"

Then went on... (and on... and on):

Oh, to hell with my dignity. I'm begging here, LOL! What am I begging for you ask? As if you didn't know you sly dog! (Forget that, I did NOT just refer to you in canine terminology)

It's the Astraios ROM, of course. You practically CURE me of ORD overnight, then you leave me hangin! It's not all about me, however. It's about my NEEDS (kidding) It's about a lot of folks needing a solid ROM, from someone who has more than a clue how to make that happen. I don't care that it was your first ROM (although I am highly impressed to see this kind of technical stability, style and overall goodness on a first effort.)

Also, I know (or can imagine) how tiresome it gets when folks without so much as a brain in their head, but plenty of cajones, asking or rather, demanding that you fix this, change than & supply the other thing.

I was more than a little happy with the BUUF version, in that you were the ONLY chef to build a full blown, fully developed ROM. (well, for the resources you had available) The problem was, I forgot that when I tried V1.7 Reg version, I noticed that it was not addressing all of the memory in my TMOUS Hardware. Ugh! I haven't a clue whats needed for full compatibility with T-Mobiles Hardware version of the phone, I only know that using a .51 Radio & proceeding to flash (or is it just FLASHING the .51 Radio) you will brick these devices before you can say boo(t)

I plain LOVED your ROM, Loved the build, the graphics, your page design, and it was truly my favorite build (of the moment, for even I know that after a few weeks or a month, I would be looking to take Astraios just a bit further, development wise. Or rather, looking to see what you were able to come up with.

Is there any way I can assist? I would be happy to do anything I am capable of to help. Make Icons, find graphics, beta test etc. etc., etc.

Anyway, there's my plea. There are others like out there, as I am sure you know. The need you man, the WORLD needs your ROMs. I know you have been two-timing with that Android gal. I can forgive you, hell you can keep seeing her - set her up in a nice flat in London... but JUST... DON'T... LEAVE ME...

er... That was WM talking... She's hurt, obviously. Be gentle with her. If you take her and hold her, things can be good again, I promise, LOL! Okay, that was getting a bit freaky... Anyway, let us know in the thread what you decide - Appreciate all you have done to date! Wishing you the best (make a new ROM) in all (make new ROM) your (new ROM) endeavors!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PINki92:
Cool man. Maybe we can expect new ROM soon, thanks to you.;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Blairware:
Well, some news at last!

Heard from chef. He's been absorbed in life's little ups & downs, and his attention has been elsewhere - theres a real news flash, huh? But seriously.. not just Android, but school & such. He wants to bring out another ROM! Not sure what time frame however, but hoping he means soon... This thread indicates how fast he can work when he's "into it"

So, with some encouragement, perhaps we will see yet another Astraios ROM!

Ahem..... I'M WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just teasin... but anytime your ready, I have my finger on the download button.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] slnsalem:
Dear Friend,

I am unable to download the rom. When I click the link, it asks for User Id and password for vbn. When I enter my xda user id and pw, it is not accepting. How to download?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] calsession:
Hi Guys,

might be a daft question but I really like the look of this ROM. I am currently using an Energy ROM.

However whenever I try to download the Astraios ROM, i am asked to enter a username and password for vbnfiles.com - is that normal? I wasn't requested anything before.

I havent used xda for a while so I am not sure if I may have missed an update to procedures.

much appreciated.

PS - does this ROM support arabic/persian scripts?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PINki92:
1 page back, you have new download link.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MartyLK:
What is the login info to download the ROMs? I'm already logged into XDA, but the download links are asking for login info and the XDA login info doesn't work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] heineken016:
couldn't use vbn as it seems its been shut down, googled around for a bit and found this link. it looks like its all the 1.7 versions but i don't really know how to tell, anyway hope it helps anyone looking for them:

(apparently i can't post links yet, so just fix the link below by starting at 4shared.com, adding the rest and removing the brackets)

Random

Hi Astraios,

Love your Buuf ROMS, maybe i'm abit late on the HD2. Just bought it before Christmas and first thing i did is installed your Buuf ROM is one of the most eye catching Rom out there.

But after using it for couple of days, i had some random restart and random random time changed. I'm using 2.15.50.14 Radio. Installed some Default Windows Mobile Games. Use PimBackup restore all my message and contacts from my old TouchPro2 (:p) change some Layout in CHTeditors. Use some of my music as Ringtone and message tone.

That it, but i dont understand why the phone keep restarting and the time change randomly.

Thanks alot
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] safio911:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] abumhmmd1:
THANKs star
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Qazz~:
i would 85% try this if there was a non-Tmous radio compatibility version and i need that WLM

just wishing you luck on developing a Non-Tmous radio verion and fixing the WLM:cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
I dont think I will be making a non tmous one, its too much hassle to build a new kitchen at the moment, sorry, but whats wrong with using tmous radios? do you get bad reception or something.

Plus windows live messenger can be got from a cab somewhere, I'll post it here when I find it, however Im going out in a bit so I wont be able to do it till a bit later ;)

Make the leap, try my rom, you can always use SPB Backup to make a full backup of your rom, flash to mine and if you dont like it, flash back and use the restore feature on spb ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sakis9:
Nice visions in the future about this Rom. cool :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Qazz~:
the TMOUS radios are super weak where i live, in an underground carpark, my dads HD2 using radio 2.06 and everything else stock has max reception wheresas if i'm using radio 2.08 i can't even get a signal:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] imtiyazee:
First of all, would like to thank the Chef for making a decent rom. Have been using this Rom since 2 days and so far so good with decent battery life. Would love to see more in action from you in future.

Best of luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Ahh Im sorry, that sucks :( I know theres other roms who dont use TMOUS radios right?

Thanks :D new release today or tomorrow
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] imtiyazee:
