"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!!!
Your comments are welcome here...

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!

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.
PURESKILLZZZ: You got it bad, man! Blowin' up the darned things! Whoa! Cool!

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 ?

I've gone from flashing into coockin and and am now more of a coock-a-holic.
I have I Sony Ericsson too Because my prophet is mostly not reachable
I flash most of the new roms and then I dump the roms to see if I can get new apps working in my rom I even dump roms for other models.

YES you are a true flash-a-holic .. Welcome to Jeff's flash-a-holics .. LOL
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.

good thread idea mate. those people posting kinda ****ed me of because why cant they understand "DONT POST IN THIS THREAD". plus, theres people commenting on grammar, and im like wtf? at least if a junior posts there saying will this work on x7501 [a valid, but easily searchable question] and people reply with actually you should have worded your question like this... its a waste of time

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!

Get clean, NOW!
im going to get a hammer, and smash my athena with it
[suddenly has second thoughts, and starts to strangle himself for thinking something so stupid]
plus, I now actually do work, whereas last year, i just went on the net on my tytn...

and I have to educate my mate whose a touch owner on the greatness of flashing, hes had it 10 months, and not flashed once
so that kinda waste my time too...

haha made u look
rom is coming when its ready. u guys just keep making me laugh with all this stuff
but i do agree it should stop with all that sh*t
Irus,
Obviously, you have not experienced being a member of another WiMo forum. The impatience and so called stupidity shown here is nothing compared to those experienced by Jiggs in the Atom forum. Hats off to Jiggs for being soooooo patient with noobies, overly arrogant and just plain stupid people.
Look at the bright side, if the AP team is enjoying and finding amusement in the "stupid post" then who are any one of us to complain.
This is a forum. Unless democracy is dead, then everyone has the right to post stupid opinions or to simply act like a kid. There is no rules here citing anything contrary to this.
Of all those posting here, only a handful of you are complaining against stupid posts. Maybe everyone not just you need to stop complaining and try to loosen up. Live life and enjoy. Act like a kid once in a while. It will make you fell young again.

BAZ LUHRMANN, Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99…Wear Sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The
long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the
rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust
me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you
can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you
really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective
as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles
in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the
kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are
reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re
behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in
doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the
most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with
their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children, maybe you
won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on
your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself
too much or berate yourself either - your choices are half chance, so are
everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of
it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own..
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people
most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold
on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older
you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in
Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when
you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children
respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe
you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time it’s 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from
the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and it for more than
it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…
i love that song
I love that song too. And I hope the forum will come alive again tonight. But posting a complete song lyrics on a forum?

Do you believe this topic is a SERIOUS topic? Stop the stupid ap 4.0 posts? Semi official 4.0..?, Non official 4.0?
This isn't a SONG, is a LESSON I am not SINGING, no MUSIC, no *.mp3 attachments. Someone could learn, others just listen, but I believe that there is more to learn in those worlds about what's going on here, than in the 80% of the messages posted in the Athena mobile 6 3d in the last week
And IMHO it answers to many questions too!
yerp... i absolutely love that song... think of it this way, in the last week, us lot in the athena forum who are normally quiet people have all posted loads... but its still probably a tenth of the number of posts per day in the kaiser forum, and their phone is crippled.
but in all seriousness, does it matter if we are having a bit of a joke while were all pressing refresh every 5 minutes waiting for pawel to post some more info about the rom. Its better than sitting pressing f5, and not doing anything else lol

hehe nice to see a great mood here. im actually side testing 19202 to see if theres less problems with it then with 19181. so far the answer seems yes. i dont think u would mind me spending a extra day to get u all the absolute latest build right?
is that an extra day, so it would be released tonight, and the alternative tomorrow..... or is it an extra day over the already unknown release date?
either way, i dont mind

One problem with wanting us to have the latest build (and sure we want it though). There's allways tomorrow that brings an even newer build. Please don't keep us waiting on that...
well i have no new test roms so that means theres no new build yet. i think i can say with confidence this time that the rom will be out within the next week. we just need to properly test the new 19202 build for 48 hrs and fix any bugs.

Well.... It has happened again... I get an OTA and the ish talking starts bout me holding back the "community"... So again I'm going to release the file I have... This time will be a little different though. I stated VERY clearly in the radio thread what I was doing and the fact that this OTA WILL NOT FLASH nor will anyone know wtf to do with it.... No one listened and instead ran their necks so F it.... Once you realize that there are several hundred .p patch files that will need to be applied to individual files, in succession, through 5 builds, then figuring out what kind of patches they are to begin with, then figuring out you need a specific binary to apply them, one you cant get, your on the right track.... Good luck with that... I'm sorry about this but honestly I'm tired of working on a device I don't even use, for days and days, with pneumonia mind you, for people to talk ish and complain about what I am doing. So I'm gonna leave it in the hands of the "well wishers" and let them take care of this for you guys... To those that havent *****ed, I apologize, but I'm pretty fed up with the amount of ignorance around here... So anyways, heres your OTA... Have fun with it and I will stop back by with an "I told you so" every now and then.... CR

lol im glad i have an epic. i just wanted to see what you were talking about in your twitter feed
People are still saying you're holding back from the community? Yeah, they're definitely ignorant. :/ I wasn't exactly around when this stuff was going on before, but I was lurking and even then it was pretty dumb.
Sorry that it has to happen this way, CR! Thank you for the work you've contributed thus far and all the great gifts you come bearing when you stop by.(Like this latest radio).
Well thanks to everyone who whines and *****es... a true dev comes along to help and you find a way to make him leave haha.. thanks CR for the work and trying mate. Good thing I'm getting new G2 on Tuesday

Well, I managed to update to this using some secret sauce, but I have now permanently lost root and S-OFF. Exploid and Rage Against the Cage-based exploits DO NOT WORK on this version of the kernel (2.6.32.29) included in this OTA.
On the plus side it does have USB/Wifi tethering built-in, so my need for root has dramatically decreased.
Just stick with whatever you have now until a new exploit comes out for >= 2.6.32.29, but don't hold your breath since it's unlikely ANY time soon.
:/ it is sad....at least you gave us the radio! And actually tried to patch the files! Thanks for all the work....hope you come back!

There is a quick and simple solution to this problem and I think that most will agre that it is for the better of the community.\
First call these people out by name, post their PM's if any publicly
Then have their accounts suspended for no less than 30 days.
How dare someone make a statement like that, We got what 1 maybe 2 developers left with this device? Are you flipping kidding me? You asses are sitting there complaining about how the development on this device is dead, yet when someone has something, and is working n something you jump the freaking gun with stupid ill thought out comments.
So now it up to you lil ^itches that think you know everything to develop for this device. You wanted what he had released so freaking bad. So lets see what ya got... Hell there is no reason why you should not be able to crank out a working ROM with what he released by the of the day today.... I mean hell if you can't then YOU held back development of this phone.
XDA needs to do something about this.
The whole 10 post rule is BS. It does nothing
I think it needs to become a pay to play forum
I know thats not how it SHOULD be, and that it
COULD hinder development. but I DOUBT it.
Personally.....
CR your work is awesome, I appreciate it very much. Thank you for what you have done,
to the ^itches.... Thanks now I gotta go buy a new damn phone, that developers want to work on. Hopefully you are broke ass kids and cant afford a new one and will stay here and die with this forum, and phone. After all you started this...
Wow CR this sux that people's ignorance has to stop us from getting froyo finally with flash possibilities. This sux...
Thanks Chief for all the hard work. I thought your last update was the best rom and didn't have any problems. I guess its time to upgrade.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I am pretty sure I know who it was... If you read through the RADIO thread there are 2 or 3 that were practically begging for the files he had.
I wont call them out myself being that I DONT FOR SURE KNOW. but if you read through there you could possibly figure it out. I am not encouraging anything, but I am sure a few people around here know of a few ways that will have their ISP shut them down for a day or so....

First call these people out by name, post their PM's if any publicly
Then have their accounts suspended for no less than 30 days.
How dare someone make a statement like that, We got what 1 maybe 2 developers left with this device? Are you flipping kidding me? You asses are sitting there complaining about how the development on this device is dead, yet when someone has something, and is working n something you jump the freaking gun with stupid ill thought out comments.
So now it up to you lil ^itches that think you know everything to develop for this device. You wanted what he had released so freaking bad. So lets see what ya got... Hell there is no reason why you should not be able to crank out a working ROM with what he released by the of the day today.... I mean hell if you can't then YOU held back development of this phone.
XDA needs to do something about this.
The whole 10 post rule is BS. It does nothing
I think it needs to become a pay to play forum
I know thats not how it SHOULD be, and that it
COULD hinder development. but I DOUBT it.
Personally.....
CR your work is awesome, I appreciate it very much. Thank you for what you have done,
to the ^itches.... Thanks now I gotta go buy a new damn phone, that developers want to work on. Hopefully you are broke ass kids and cant afford a new one and will stay here and die with this forum, and phone. After all you started this...

you took the words right out my mouth
Chief wasn't the only one being bugged about the files. I've got a crap load of PMs and tweets asking me for the ota. I'm doing my best to provide CR with the files he needs to get this working for you guys. Hell, I don't even have a slide. Did I have to contact Chief letting him in on the file? Nope. If you guys would have waited a day or 2, you probably would have had a working OTA. But no, you had to keep *****ing to me and CR.
Chief, if you still want the files, hit me up on G and ill grab them.

Most of the people who wanted to see this zip released are not at all interested in actually running this rom. In fact, the more interesting bits are the sdio and tiwlan files that we might be able to fix the still-borked wifi in CM7.
Chiefz: nobody intended to give you ****, but there is absolute truth in the saying that many hands make light work. The more people looking at this, the more likely it is that it can be put to good use. The folks in #mytouchslide will be putting lots of eyes on this to see what outstanding issues we might be able to fix.
Thank you for releasing this and I'm sorry if you felt people were hassling you.

Chiefz, don't listen to those noobs. You do a great job here and we all appreciate you as a hard working person that always brings good stuff to the forum and as a very good friend no matter what you do.
Thanks for all
Damn whiny 12 year olds.. you can't escape their wrath!!
2.2.1 Rooted OTA..u will be missed.
i personally think this was a good move to shut the people up that dont know what they are doing (like myself, (-) the talking crap part). but now that you have made your point chiefz, you should really continue your work. you would have the praise of the community!
No this was not a good move. It has left so many of without any hope of ever making our phones just that much cooler, that much better...
I am pissed off to the point I am shopping for a new phone today

that sucks, but i don't blame you. thanks for everything, mang.
A single member messaged me and made me feel so much better. Still stopping development until next week but, now its just to take time for myself and my family. thanks (you should know who you are.)
Dude don't worry. Take your time off and get everything a-ok.
Everyone already is highly appreciative of all the hard work you have put in and thanks you for your efforts. You are all kinds of awesome for the dev efforts you have put in on this new and tricky device.
So thank you and hope to see you again soon. (And btw, thanks to all the other devs who have put in such awesome effort on the NT )
I love you nick, despite what others say about you I think ur cool
Indirect,
I wish you solace from whatever is hurting you. I'm a noob who has been combing this forum for a solid week in anticipation of getting a nook tablet. I can see that you make great contributions here (and I'm sure elsewhere). Thank you for everything you and the other devs do. Hope things get better soon.
Women always stifling progress. lol.
It’s always a shame when one loses a long-time companion and friend. But in life, one door closes and another one opens.
Here are some unpublished country western songs to amuse you while you both recover.
“I hate every bone in her body but mine.”
“It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chewed my ass out all day long.”
“If I can’t be #1 in your life, then #2 on you.”
“If the phone don’t ring, you’ll know it’s me.”
“I still miss you baby but my aim is getting better.”
“I’m so miserable without you that it’s like you’re still here.”
“If I’d shot you when I wanted to, I’d be out of prison by now.”
“She got the ring and I got the finger.”
“You’re the reason our kids are so ugly.”
“While I was out getting hammered, she was home getting nailed.”
“She left me and took the dog. Boy I sure do miss him.”
Don't worry about it dude, things'll pass and you'll be OK. Thanks for all your work, it's much appreciated.

What? On the 23rd? Right before Christmas? That's terribly heartless of the other person. So sorry
Take time off, Indirect! *shakes fist and disconnects Indirect's neural-net interface* And eat lots of pie.
Sorry to hear about your situation! Best wishes, and thanks so much for all you do!
Don't be sorry
Dude, you've done so much for this community. Your real life has to come first. Get your head straight then come on back.
I volunteer for four different groups right now. If I didn't have the option of holding out the yellow flag on the field every now and then when life got tough, I woulda quit them all and moved to Montana a long time ago.
Dude, it's all good. Take time for yourself and know that you are appreciated here for all the work you have done.
Take your time man and heal, thanks for all the hard work you've put into helping us noobs And as someone already said earlier - one door closes and another one opens - completely true!
It may suck but it is very understandable that you need a break.
It's very important to have balance in your life, My real life is in management and all the crap that goes along with it, then toss in a bunch of women bull****. Personally I use XDA as my own personal escape(as a user not a dev that's a whole different ballgame).
To me it's a whole different world devoid of the crap that the real world has, filled with amazing things that are only a flash away.

Have a wonderful Christmas
Take the time you need we'll all still be here when ya get back :}
Merry Christmas!
Family is more important than everything else, thats a fact. Take your time, clear your head, we will be here when you come back, thats for sure!
Thank you so much for all you do for the community.
Not sure what happened, but everyone is right. You are well within your rights for a break. Thanks for all your hard work, man.
Its times like these I like to repeat a quote I heard a long time ago:
"Never take life too seriously, nobody ever gets out alive.."
Hope whatever it is that ales you goes away quickly. This time of the year has always been hard on me as I've lost several loved ones. It still hurts but I've had to just learn to deal with it. I also just had my new daughter just arrive on Wednesday so good things come as well.
I hope you get a chance to forget about us, your problems, and just enjoy the spirit of the time of year. Have fun!
