Thanks brainmaster. Thanks a lot! Your rom is the best rom I have used.
[neoTouch S200 General] big:
Thanks brainmaster.

Thanks great your woking! Your rom is the best!

... and i will user Beta 1.2.5 aways goto end time my F1 :)
[neoTouch S200 General] darks1de:
Great work, Brainmaster!!!!Thank You!!!! Probably the best ROM!
[neoTouch S200 General] epdm2be:
I don't get it. You say you don't do it for the money yet not enough donations is the main reason you quit??? So you do it for the money?

Anyway. Although you adviced me to try your roms once I'm still on the standard Acer 3.003c standard ROM with SPB Mobile shell. So I can't comment on the work you've done (and hence donate). And yes... I do put my money where my mouth is (Ask Stefano_1986). For now I see no reason to try any non-acer ROM as it suits me as it is. I didn't expect much from this device anyway though I must say I'm a little bit impressed. I expected much worse (considering Acer's very bad reputation quality-wise). Since Sam**** won't repair my Omnia i900 (though the device is still under waranty period), I'll have no choice but to use this Acer F1 as my primary device and thus be gentle with it. Perhaps after my waranty is expired I'll try some more ROM's so I'm sorry to see you go. Especially since a lot of ppl in here have indeed good experiences with your ROMs.

Maybe in some future you might get yet another donate.

[neoTouch S200 General] mmarWM:
thx 4 all brainmaster, we will miss ur skill
[neoTouch S200 General] bananana:
I am new to S200, BrainMaster is my only hope for a real robust ROM.

And I thought I am sharing the joy and witness BrainMaster's great achievements.

This is very sad that BrainMaster is leaving us!

Thank you very much!
[neoTouch S200 General] light_n_roses:
Hi brain !

It's sad but what you have said is only the true, and this is why I have also stop doing this and sold my neotouch to take an hd2...I also should have written something like this but I didn't want to because it was sad..
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
So guys. I am not using my Acer NeoTouch anymore because i bought myself an HD2. I need Android also for work and that is why I am selling my Acer NeoTouch. If someone wants to buy it - please PM me.

The good news is - next week I am going to release my Kitchen for all ROM's : Manila, Titanium and Clean ROM in all 5 Languages.

I don't want to block progress of making ROM's on Acer. Because I don't have allot of time and I am not gonna have Acer for testing the ROM's I will release a Kitchen.

Its nothing new. I have modified Stefanos Kitchen and gathered allot of fixes for manila, also made allot of custom packages for programs, skins ...

If someone is willing to continue my work, please do it. I've learned allot in XDA Community, and this is another way (beyond my ROM's) to thank you guys for having a good time with you.

I will check the NeoTouch area from time to time, but will not spend time answering the questions regarding the Kitchen. You have to learn it alone as I did.

Be patient - until the Sunday the 20-th, you will have my Kitchen.
[neoTouch S200 General] VU HEO:
thanks so much, I hope you still remember back to this box time to time as you promise. I try build a ROM by my self for S 200 and share it for everyone same you as
[neoTouch S200 General] salemxp:
Very great news Brainmaster, I trying myself too cook but i'm really too noob's for have succes... thx a lot my friend.
[neoTouch S200 General] euplio:
Hi friend, it's a real pity that you sell you Acer Neotouch to buy an HD2, but I want to thank you very much to given us your fantastic kitchen... it is an excellent base on which make our personalizations (by the way your roms are better than all others).I thank in particular the fact that I know how much time you spent to make your rom so, I think this is a very important step for our community.I think me and all Neotouch users can improve more and more your fantastic kitchen. THANK YOU VERY MUCH BRAIN,YOU ARE THE MEN, Euplio...
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
Guys, HD2 with Android is amazing! This is how my Phone looks like:
[neoTouch S200 General] realdope:
danke tausend mal

THANK you very much BrainMaster :)

very nice your new HD2 WOW
[neoTouch S200 General] mto77:
I look this forum every day (3 month am/lunch/pm)

No news no rom update nothing =(

its terrible !
[neoTouch S200 General] bevoc:
what do you expect? roms coming everyday? no chefs here are obligated to cook anything for you. terrible? then learn to cook your own rom.
[neoTouch S200 General] epdm2be:
No prob. If those chefs wouldn't keep the secrets to themselves. But as long as they cook ROM's they won't share how they do it. And when they dumb the platform for something suposedly better they have nothing else to say then: you have to learn it yourself.

Sure, really encouraging, thanks
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
What do you expect? Do you know how much time I have invested in learning to cook? Have you payed me for cooking?

I am gonna share my Kitchen freely, there is a Thread from Stefano1986 about OSBuilder Kitchen, and allot of experienced Chefs are now using this Kitchen.

So stop whining and be useful to the community - explore, search on Forum and learn to cook. That is what I did.
[neoTouch S200 General] bevoc:
what's your contribution? if youre just leeching off, better keep quiet and go buy an android device. more things to leech over on android's side. not until you post your own rom or any life changing contribution for s200, shut up and be thankfull for the free things you got from here.
[neoTouch S200 General] epdm2be:
Ah so everybody in this forum is automatically a "leech" according to you?

For your information I have provided some things to the Acer forum. But ofcourse a lot more on the Samsung Omnia forum at modaco since I previously had that device. This device is fairly new to me but I do contribute where possible. I keep in mind that most work (also with ROM-building) comes together with information gathered from various sources and therefore find it inappropriate to ask donations (in my own case).

As for Brainmasters comment on payment. I thought you didn't do this for the money?

Like I said to previously. I DO DONATE! E.g. I have donated to Steffano for his work on his little flashlight application which is a lot less complicated than these rombuilding stuff. But I currently use the standard Acer 3.003c ROM (which I wrote before) and haven't downloaded yours. I'm sure that the work you have done is fantastic and I definitely don't want to belittle you. In fact if and when I decide to change ROM's I'll probably try yours too and if it suits me I WILL donate but untill then I'll stick with the standard Acer ROM. I do regret that want you to leave this community. But I do question your motivation. You seem disillusioned because ppl didn't donate much for your ROMs. Why are you so anxious? I've build ROMS for the Omnia before and never had the intention of making money of it. Especially since the building of my roms was usually done with information gathered from various sources and users. I did this to improve experience for others and share tips and tricks. Which is the intention of XDA in the first place. A community for users about users. It's not intended as jumpstart to start a business.

....... hmmm... why the hell am i explaining myself?
[neoTouch S200 General] bevoc:
who are you to question other people's motive in cooking? its not easy to cook for this rom, i even find cooking for o2 zinc to be easier. the amount of time i spent on editing and trial and error on the sense packages alone has already taken me almost a month, so i believe brainmaster has spent more on cooking multi roms, he has the all the right to expect donation. besides, during his releases , only one or two chef are active, wanna know why? because no one actually devote time to cook for themselves. so dont go around talking smack on how you cook for omnia and didnt ask a penny for it. stop whining. cook your own rom. save us all the trouble of explaining that no one actually cares about s200.
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
Obviously you didn't understand why I said that.

The first post explains why I quit on cooking ROM's - lack of time. I do have now HD2, but I am not gonna cook any ROM's for it.
[neoTouch S200 General] bevoc:
i understand your situation. that is why i cook personal roms and not release it here. to avoid certain people that only know how to complain.
[neoTouch S200 General] ocman:
I share your idea brainmaster, the reason you are giving are exactly the reason why I had stopped on this device, sin ce 2 weeks I now have a HTC desire...

its another world...

but I feel sad for the acer S200, such a good hardware locked in this poor windows mobile....

My best hope : could you share you last kitchen for a donation over paypal,

like you, I am a cooker, so i am not ready to give money for a good rom, I prefer to cook it myself.

but because I am a cooker, I exactly know the hard work you have done, I have spent myself many nights cooking on omnia sanmdung and S200 acer.

I think your had work can't just be left in graveyard, I will enjou continu your work as my S200 is not my main device now and I can expriment on it as I will, on my free time, like you, i don't want to cook and NOT SLEEP because since 1 year I have a job and no free time for this kind of everyday work.

Please let me know, your name will rest in the credit and more than credit I will give you a pourcentage over the donation made.

thanks if you took the time to read me.
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
Hi ocman. Like I said - I will be sharing my Kithen with the community and upload it. Whoever wants to continue my work is free to do so.

I have some optimizations to do on my Kitchen so that it would be easy to cook with and also the problem is that my Kitchen is near 1.5 GB big. I need to find the way to secure upload so much files.

I will probably split the files and use the multiupload.com server or does someone have better solution?
[neoTouch S200 General] bevoc:
what about s200.net ftp..... some roms are hosted over there
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
Don't have access anymore.
[neoTouch S200 General] ocman:
The best logical idea I have :

- split it in language; its easy to do and share universal base.

I think you should leave the kitchen for donators only.

It will limit it to people who really understand the work you have done.

I feel sad for you... its too easy to have this for free, as it is very time consuming for you.

I will say donation of 2€ per language or 5€ for all language is a good thing.

Password crypted archive, you have the paypal mail to give the buyer the password.

its easy, it's normal to pay for your work...

You could then decide to make it free when you reach a barrier, let's say 100€ or something like that, I think your work deserve more than a thank you.

if the user community is not able to make us have the motivation to cook, the minimum that can do cookers is to support each othesr and to respect the work you have done for us... I have been decouraged a long time before you... I think I will have donated for your very last rom that I read somewhere you projected to release in january, but I so understand what you feel, you hoped that cooking for S200 will be intersting, because it's a cheap HD2...so you go for it, and then you decidecd to cook on it, to have a GER rom with your phone in HD2 style, then you feel the limit of its hardware...but really want to make it a good phone, so you try different kind of rom, to preserve ram, its a no chance to win battle whit 256 ram for WVGA resolution...but you spent many time, hoping the hard work you do, the night without sleeping, and all the rest ( problems with wife etc...) is worth something...but nothing never comes, you release hard work and excellent rom, but no donation at all....

So you move by yourself to another phone, instead of users making donation, giving you the chance to buy a new phone for free.... at least that was my point of view...and continue to cook because they support you...

by not donating to you, the only thing users have done, is to shorten the life of their phone....because now your or another carrier has make your a fantastic offer to have a good android phone :-)

and now all the S200 users will slowly move to other device, because no more cookers has a reason to make their phone live longer....

sorry for the long message to say nothing more than logic....
[neoTouch S200 General] crl6904:
It's a shame that people are leaving this device. It seemed like a good device on the day that I bought it.

Much of the hardware is still pretty good.

I have never used a cooked ROM, and was always curious to see what the difference was between the original and a cooked one. I saw your ROMs and they were very pleasing. They seemed to be able to blend utility with a good user interface.

However I understand your reason for retiring (in fact, I may be changing to a Galaxy Tab or Huawei S7 Tablet in the near future) and wanted to give you an idea for the kitchen distribution, you may want to check out Dropbox (2 GB space).

Take care and have fun with your new Android
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
Thank you for your suggestion. I do use Dropbox personally but I wouldn't like to use it for my Kitchen. It takes to much space in the Dropbox.

I will split the Kitchen and upload it on Multiupload.com.

The thing is - I've catch a flew yesterday and I'm not in the mood right now to optimize my Kitchen. I hope that it will be ready till Sunday.

@ ocman - Thank you, but not gonna share my Kitchen only for the donation. It will be free for anyone. If someone wants to donate, I'm fine with it.
[neoTouch S200 General] warriorvibhu:
Quoted for truth.. sorry i am from another part of forum i came here thinking of finding something that will help me port android on my friend's s200..I too was not releasing any of my WM roms.. but then when i cooked for my bro. i decided to release it so that people can also experience it.. as for those who wanna whine they always will for eg. There was guy who was badmouthing me everywhere in every possible thread abt my rom being unstable which is not possible.. i did not make it that way :) and i know what i was doing..oops got distracted my point Dogs will keep barking we must share and support the community as for giving back.. i see users / leechers are really not giving back.. its mostly devs who share knowledge and help each other..others dont want to bother themselves yeah they all want free stuff... i never asked for donations but forget donating i could not get even a single person to click and give me dropbox space and more than 5000 people have flashed my rom atleast once.. so brainmaster if u get time stay back.. people like me want ppl like you in the community..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck_Neus:
Hi

I brought a rooted desire a month ago and 2 nights ago it restarted its self and now is stuck on the boot logo. Fastboot and Recovery both go to HTC boot screen and hang there too.

I have tried taking the battery out and leaving it.

I have tried removing the SD card and booting it.

Also from what i can tell usb debugging is disabled in the phone settings...

I Wont try and pretend that i know what i'm doing here i rather out of my depth trying to sort this out so please bear with me,

i'm using windows xp (x32)

Thank you for your time and patience

EDIT: I think it has a rooted froyo rom on there also. (version unknown)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Not sure if there is an easier solution..But, have you tried unrooting with a RUU?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck_Neus:
i haven't tried, can i unroot without a Goldcard?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Only if you have an unbranded Desire.

But..you try the following in Recovery..It may be stuck in a loop and yet communicate with the pc..

Get into recovery (with an sdcard inside), and issue the following command from your PC (You must have the sdk installed and must be the Tools folder:

adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid>c:\goldcard.txt
start c:\goldcard.txt

A text file opens up with a code. If it does you can make a goldcard now. Use the goldcard tool.

Two options to try solving your problem:

METHOD 1

If goldcard can be created ok, then you may proceed with flashing the RUU. Be careful to use the newest version on shipped-Roms. Older ones can brick your device if it's SLCD. We'll use Method 1 as last resort. Try Method2 first.

Note:

Before you try this out, CREATE A GOLDCARD EVEN

IF YOU THINK

YOUR DEVICE IS UNBRANDED.

Flashing an RUU always has the

potential to softbrick your device

. Recovering may be difficult unless you have a goldcard and extensively know some advanced methods to unbrick the device/or willing to research it

METHOD2: FLASHING CLOCKWORKMOD DIRECTLY WITH FASTBOOT (Will work only on rooted ROM. Will need goldcard if branded)

Since your current recovery is corrupted, you can try flashing the Clockworkmod again from Fastboot. In fact, it may be safer to try this option first rather than unrooting.

Download the latest image for Clockworkmod recovery

Rename the ClockworkMod Recovery Image to simply recovery.img.

Boot into the bootloader mode.

Turn the phone off.

Insert goldcard

Press the back button & power at the same, until you are booted into bootloader mode.

Connect the phone to the computer.

On the computer, open the command prompt/terminal & navigate to the Android SDK Tools folder.

Issue the following command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Try Method2 and tell me if it worked for you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck_Neus:
method 2 didnt work

flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4216 KB)... OKAY [ 0.578s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.045s
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Your goldcard must be inside the device. Try again with goldcard? Did you get the CID for goldcard creation. Follow Method 1 till creation of goldcard. Dont run the RUU though
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Use the goldcard tool to make it simpler.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck_Neus:
Tried Following method 1 but all i get is access denied... Could this be down to USB Debugging not being on?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
At what point?

Dont run the RUU. Just issue the code I've written:

adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid>c:\goldcard.txt

start c:\goldcard.txt

Try this from Fastboot and from the stuck recovery screen. What does the textfile display>?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Note that your USB device must get recognized within Windows. After the device is notified as connected in Windows (notification icon and a sound in the PC), To check, type this command and see if it shows a code (the serial of device)"

adb devices
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck_Neus:
when i type adb devices it says "list of devices attached" and that's it. Could there be a driver problem or something more sinister?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Your device is not interacting with adb. You could try the following:

Fastboot devices

If this one works, it's a problem with only adb. More sinister if that is so. Try to boot into Fastboot, Recovery and Simple Boot (See my thread here, and read the part which tells you how to boot into each), and try the adb devices command in each. If it works in any one, get the CID and proceed with goldcard.

If you cant get the CID, you cant get the goldcard. Two solutions exist-1.Use the correct updated RUU and flash to stock. 2.Use Teppic74's guide to downgrade (Search XDA for it) and then flash a lower RUU for your device.

Note that without a goldcard, only the appropriate RUU will work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck_Neus:
fastboot devices gives

HT05SPL07600 fastboot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Problem with only adb then. See my post and the other thread..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck_Neus:
Thank you for your time and help. I sure hope this works
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck_Neus:
problem fixed unrooted back to stock.
[Epic 4G General] JungleJiujitsu:
I was just curious but why do all the dev's include Astro? I dont see the benifits of this file management app when Androzip and ES File Explorer are so much better! Androzip has a built in backup utility, task manager and app installer/uninstaller, and it also allows you to unzip rar, zip, 7zip, and tars while ES File allow for that plus networking!
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
i would venture to say the dev of astro allows for distribution and others don't.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Yea, I was all about Astro until I tried ES File Explorer and realized that it allows me to stream videos over my network. That is a killer feature that Astro can't match.
[Epic 4G General] JungleJiujitsu:
Say what!? I knew about being able to FTP but am def trying that out when I get home, thanks!
[Epic 4G General] JungleJiujitsu:
The above mention are too free in the Market but I could see those dev not wanting there work to be distributed by other means....thanks for the insight...but as far as advantages, is it safe to say that there are NONE and that these are better alternatives?
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
The Syndicate 2.1 ROM comes with ES File Explorer.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Kinda on this topic, does anyone know of an app like astro that when backing up apps, it save apps data too? Otherwise astro works great.
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
I don't know of any file explorer apps that do that, I do know that the free version of Titanium Backup works like a champ though.
[Epic 4G General] JungleJiujitsu:
Thats a good sign then, maybe more dev's will start noticing that these two are far better options than Astro.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Good question. I have both AndroZip and ES File Explorer, and have never seen the need for Astro.

For that matter I wonder why anyone feels the need to package any of these apps into a distribution. Anyone can just go to the Market and download whichever utilities they want.
[Droid X General] msucoleman:
Just got my DX (2.2) yesterday and the first thing I have noticed just like my Droid 2 Global is that the Alarm sound is really low. I mean the vibrate of the phone woke me up, I picked up the phone and I could barely hear the Alarm sound. I have looked in sounds/volumes etc... and the Alarm sound is turned all the way up.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

My alarm sound was loud as heck on my D1 with the same settings.

Oh and how in the heck do you make it so every time I either plug in my usb or reboot while it is charging that Verizon's V-Cast Media center website doesn't keep popping up. That is so annoying.

Found my Answer, it was in the Motorola icon on my desktop. Had to set it to nothing instead of web site

another

I just noticed that when I got into Battery Manager and hit the battery to see what is using my battery, it Force closes every time.

I'm starting to thing my D2G is a better phone.
[Droid X General] milan616:
Did you check to make sure the alarm clock app isn't set to gradually raise the volume? Check in that particular alarm's settings.
