"Hello, my name is Jeff and I am a Flash-a-holic"
"Hello, Jeff" - The group says in unison.
So it all started about 8 months ago, when WM6 first came onto the scene, well not actually because it had not yet hit the streets and I was among the selected few (via this forum) in the world to have it up and working on their devices. I later learned that yet again I had a device that would not be among the chosen to receive the new and updated MS-OS, bummer. (Same with my Qtek 2020 not going to 2003SE and then to WM5)
Like many of out there, I have become a Flash-a-holic. I have flashed just about ANY and EVERY ROM out there for my Prophet at least about 100x's, looking for Ms. Right-ROM, heck I have even heard of others flashing ROMs from OTHER devices! Going back to official WM5s and living with its ugliness and slowness and just plain dullness... waiting.
Whether it is from Vietnam, Thailand or Russia - each and every release either b(this) or b(that) or TOUCH this or that - we are always told of how it is NEW and/or Improved - leading us to believe that we will FINALLY have a NICE and (above all) STABLE WM6 on our Prophet and STOP THE MADNESS, but helas after the proverbial "15 to 30 minutes depending on your CPU Speed" of anticipation we have the same as we did before flashing... same symptoms - I am sure that I don't need to list them here, they are ALL the same and surely directly linked to the fact that the image came from a totally different device (Wizard) and thus there are Incompatibilities.
What do we expect? What is it that we seek? I personally would like to have the most up-to-date OS on my device without the powers that be telling me that it is incompatible (purely a marketing decision) with all of the bells and whistles. I personally like the VoIP feature, which ALSO only works depending upon the flavor you flash to - guess ya can't have it all. Some things work in THIS one and not in THAT one... you all know where I am coming from.
So the quest continues on, Flash this and Flash that - waiting for the ONE that will stop the insatiable urge for more and better.
When will it be?
WHEN WILL IT ALL STOP!!!

That made my day. you are so totally right. sad, isn´t it?
i'm sorry i'm just here for the cookies and juice...which would be where btw?
Actually yeah, I need to make a decision quick (although I am addicted to PDAViet 4.0.0.0.3), but I think I need two things
1. For it to work lol
2. A stable wifi connection (although I don't use it much, but I want to know that is there when i need it)
It's looong road... Enjoy the ride
Hey Jeff,
I frankly thought that this was touch cynical. Yep we’ve had issues, bugs and crashes, but I guess in the end of the day, I loved the feeling of being anew, different, and to an extend personalized…
I’ve tried coupla ROMs till now .4a PDAviet looked good. But I am stuck since coupla weeks on .3a pdaviet ROM… I love it for it’s crispness, speed and STABILITY… The issues I’ve had with these ROM has been worked around( visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308266&page=47 for my workarounds on the issues I faced). One wish though would be the battery drain. In my WM5 my prophet used to last for two day and still gimme 10-15% left. But with this ROM I’ll be very lucky if I could wait to get back home on my second day to charge..
But above all this entire Flash thingi is giving a feeling that I am not tied down any more. I get the familiar feeling of hitting the road on my bike again with wind against my face. I’ll travel wherever I like at my pace at my wish. And I turn to my friends who cook these ROMs for the fuel. I don’t like a particular brand of fuel? I stop over at another bunk. And it’s not the fuel that thrills me but it’s the ride. I’d thank all the ROM cookers for the ride. Great going and wish it'll never stop coz there notheing perfect only perspectives. God bless
PS- Jeff, I like your style of writing...
Well, even though Jeff pretty much described it all, there are many like myself that no matter how cool or stable a ROM is, will continue to try new stuff on our beloved Prophets just for the fun of it.
Actually I'm flashing the FantasticB4 (with TouchFlo capabilities) on my device even though I was pretty happy with my previous ROM.
Cheers!
Rayan

Hello Jeff,
Are you my missing twin brother that got stolen from the hosipital at birth that even my parents didn't know about?
I went through the same thing with these WM6 ROM's. I just checked, I started doing that about March. I lost numerous precious sleeping hours and sex life.
What do you do for a living? Someday we should meet to have a coffee (not a drink).
Jeff .....
Dont fret .. I too flash my life away . I have been easily thru over 1,000 phones since I began using cells. I have flashed , flexed , seem edit , hacked , chracked , modded and just about tried a little of everything to a cell phone thats possible . I have even blew up a few phones just to see how strong they really are. Ran them over with car , truck , bus bike and who even knows. I even tried to flush 1 from an airplane to see what happens but it got stuck ... LOL Then I thought dammm airplanes dont flush into the open air. LOL . So I guess we in the right place ....
riyazhyder: Thanks for your complements, and yes it was meant to be intra-cynical, if it seamed extra-cynical, my appologies. You are right, enjoy the ride - ya don't know how far the road goes.
Johnston411: Thanks for the link, helps knowing that there are others out there like us. Yes my wife HATES my Prophet!
jychan28: Yo, bro! HAHAHA - Like probably many here I am in IT, a network admin, therefore this stuff is kinda eat and drink for me.

Hey fellas and welcome to jeff's flash-a-holics ... Chargers and cases are to the right , roms and betas to the left and in the middle burnt phones.
Never ending - perpeptual
Ha,
thats true--its perpeptual-- Ones effort gives energy to other and others to other and so on.
No one can stop this by any rule, but its matter of self satisfaction.
In my view our devices r primarly used for working not flashing ( just joking), so what i do ( probably most of us)
1) working 5 week days
2) F(**k)lashing 2 weekend days
so this OK ?

Arduous Messages
It´s normal, to wait for an announced rom. But not, to set the cookers under pressure. It´s not a sales contract between gullum and us users. If he needs a little longer, it´s okay. We must be thankful, that he shares his work with us. And until this time gullums VII is good enough...it´s a very stable and fast rom.

okay maybe i went over the line.. iam just a little mad here today as i got called by my mobile service center.. I have had a HTC S710 to service, only 3 weeks old, and now finally after 2 months of waiting, they called me to tell me that it will cost 1200 danish kroner (around 250 US Dollars) to fix it..
I just think this kind of post is uneccesary.. We all have to wait and if we all made this kind a post these forums will be spammed to death.. Gullum will deffinantly make a thread as soon as the rom is completed so lets just wait for that..
I have started this thread out of frustration regarding all the irrelevant BS being posted in the AP 4.0 coming but needs... and official AP 4.0 release threads.
It seems the team's request to not post in the official release thread is not being heeded so hopefully all the irrelevant and off-topic "I hope it is being released soon" and "Where is it?" type activity will end up here instead.
And when the ROM is released, hopefully the mods will flush this all down the toilet.
In other words, POST ALL THE STUPID BS HERE AND NOT IN THE OTHER THREADS!
I am now putting on my fireproof underwear and waiting for the flame wars...
Thank you.
They'll probably still continue to post in the other 1 million threads anyway, including the one that clearly states DO NOT POST. Sigh.....Anyway, what are some of your expectations in the new ROM?
Hello tootallk, let me ask a question ....
Do you have children ?
Then you know the best way if you want children something to do. Tell them "DON'T DO THAT" or "DON'T REPLY HERE"....
Anyway - live is serious enough, let's have some fun.

WOW 17 and owning a X7500! Are you some internet wizzkid?
Has anyone noticed the "...coming but needs..." thread has more replies than the 3.0 release thread (and that ROM has been out for months)?
lol.. nope i just have to do something with my time... i think it all started [my ppc obsession] when i was on mobile360.co.uk, looking at coming soon phones, and saw the athena.. i was like wtf, thats huge... then I did some research and picked up a SPV M3100 for about a hundred and fifty quid. Then 6 months later, being dropped loads and loads hadnt done it any good, and after trying to fix it, I sold it. Then I knew the device I wanted, having drawn the athenas outline on some paper, and putting my tytn inside the outline, it really wasnt that much bigger. So I got an ameo with a blocked imei from a guy on here, But circumstances were against me, and 3 weeks later I had to downgrade because of money probs. [the thing was, I sold it, and it didnt arrive in italy, so i ended up nearly 400 quid out of pocket, when it could have been like 130 in pocket, with an ameo] I picked up a touch enhanced, but no keyboard was really a drag. plus gprs and 210mhz made it really slow... so once my debt [thats why i wold mt ameo in the first palce] had been paid off, I got my second ameo... and its as good as the first time
So, am I some kinda of internet whizzkid, nah, im just an engineer, and need something to play with 24/7
By the way, ppc's are the reason I went from 3 A's and a D in my first as modules to like 2A's, 2B's, 2C's and 2D's in my second lot. But my recentest ones werent too bad, 2A's, 2B's and 2 E's, i should probably ban myself from my phone until exams are over on the 19th of june!

If we could all have a moment of slience while i quote a great poet
"I'm waiting for a ROM called AP4
I don't think my F5 key can take anymore
Pawel worked his ass off, in order to get
From his beloved users, a truckload of ****
Yes we blamed poor Pawel when the ROM didn't show
Itxda put his family first, we didn't want to know
No we didn't give a hoot, about families or work
We just wanted our ROM, we acted like jerks
"Give us the ROM!" each new posting would plead
Still all that got updated, was "coming but needs..."
As each night approached, and release was not near
We drowned all our sorrows using gallons of beer
Then the torch was passed, far across the pond
Olipro's unlocker of which we're so fond
Had to be re-written so we wouldn't brick
Our beloved Athenas, still we acted like pricks
We found out Olipro and cmonex were an item
We sent them PMs, we tried hard to spite them
I wondered myself, if they ever had kids
Would they be unlocking cell phones, at night in their cribs?
Then we found out Oli had his own family issues
We acted contrite and broke out the tissues
We apologized like crazy, and said we were sorry
We saw how we were acting, well, except for Marbury
So I have learned through this, how to act mature
And realized it's okay, to wait a few days more
I know if I am patient, the ROM will arrive
and I can start screaming for AP5"
I just want to say thanks to the AP Team for ALL the roms they've put out.
Hahaha Too bad that won't fit in the shutdown message!

yes thanks for correcting eagle, im not all about taking other peoples work
it is true?
really exist?
who knows...?
now aday I've this doubt too however it might bcos of the unstable bootloader or due for the licenses, that why the AP team not willing release anything "officially", however some user might got it the rom from other channel..
i rather wait for the official release instead become "white mouse".
hope AP team can be release the rom ASAP.
Thank you.

hi ice_coffee,
don't worry ... i don't need tha ap4 now.
when released (and tested) is probably that i upgrade my athena (now i use wm5 and i'm very happy).
agree (and agree to all the ap4 team. my first message was by joke, regard the smilley)...
Is the Holy Grail, everybody is looking for it, somebody says "Thank's God, I've got it and it is wonderful", nobody says WHY it is wonderfull!
Isn't faster, it could brick your device, used in a car the screen plays the macarena dance... it is a strong companion of the WW beetle car: not a single advantage compared to the other cars, but everybody want's one! Definitively IT'S a LEGEND!

@rory => AP4 is not what you suggest, but Thomas did not need to touch the nail prints or put his hand into the side where the spear had gone. He simply fell to his knees and believed.
What I can't beleive is that you (collectively) would even think to bring doubting Thomas into this arena. Perhaps you are sincere in your faith, but this is a cell phone and a new ROM were on about. It may seem like eternity waiting for the official release, but on the grand scheme of things, this is a vapour, which appears for a short time then is gone. (enough for this line of discussion for now, I hope)
OMG
I do not know what is happening :O Since 2 months I am looking for this AP 4 .
The worst thing with the AP 3 is that the alarm is ringing at the past time zones ...as I change them very often...and the problem is westbound as is not nice to wake up at 5 or 6 am cause the ap is nice, but without the basic things

May also help with Development work if we have a list of Developers that will be here from the beginning.
So far I believe we have
Mamaich
Bepe
Olipro
CMonex
JJ
Dutty
Laurentius
myself
Who else will be joining us?
Cheers,
Beasty
I'll be too.

Count me in sir.
Heee ... Beasty, yes you can count me in!
I'm looking forward to Rapheal!
Regards,
Leo
Looks like the old Universal team is back together
Myself included!
You can count me in for any help with ROM testing - my upgrade is due in 4 weeks and counting...
Well whenever this comes to ATT I'll compile another thread devoted to tweaking and removing all of the random crap that is bound to come with the ATT version...
Upgrade or no upgrade available on my contract, I'm getting this phone (but I can wait for a non-front camera version for about $200 less than the $904 price it's at right now.)
I'm certainly ready to jump on the Raphael bandwagon, but the details for the 3G radio for us yankees are still questionable. Until I see what the US version is, I'm not getting really excited about it. Other than a RAM/ROM/Processor upgrade, there isn't much of a gain. Also, until this thing gets in the hands of some XDA users, we won't know if they made a similar mistake as they did with the Kaiser in terms of drivers and hardware implementation.
HTC Omni with Android - yes. Another rehash of the Wizard, meh.

Pretty sure that TouchFlo 3D needs D3D acceleration to work?? The GFX drivers situation should be almost identical to the diamond, so best to take a gander at the diamond forum and see if any issues are apparent?
You're absolutely correct.
But let us not forget that HTC's devices from years ago perform better graphically then the Kaiser. Who'd have ever thought THAT would happen (especially considering the vast technological improvements)?!?!
I have been lurking on the Diamond forums keeping an eye on how things play out. We still haven't seen a US-based Diamond variant yet.

Yes McHale but even if that is the case the Touch Pro is running the same chipset as the Diamond (7201A) so people could just make hybrid ROMs incorporating the best of both devices. Next question.
I'm not talking about the video specifically, I'm talking about support and proper implementation of hardware. Believe me, I'm not bashing HTC. I have enough devices I can say I supported them quite a little. I'm saying we haven't seen a US model yet and until I see the model that will work in the states, we don't know how well it will be implemented.

I've done the same mate, the Raphael should arrive just before we fly off to Florida (hopefully) gives me plenty of time to work on some Roms whilst away (and a new toy to play with on the plane)
Stocks for pre-orders are running a bit low on most UK sites now though, so be quick if you do want one. Expansys did me one for £460 with case and cables TV Out etc. I imagine prices will rise slightly after release and demand will be pretty high. The Uni finally gets chance to have a rest in the Bottom-Drawer Beasty PDA vault.
Cheers,
Beasty

Since this isn't about the release, (that's another thread)
No the 28th is not the release date, It's when "I" get my Baby.
