Thanks a lot.but I do not know how long I will wait?????
Sickk of waiting.. Probably they will release by the time you get bored of with your device and finally sell it off at ebay for less than half the price..! Lol..
neither does anyone...
theres people here who are like here 24/7 for the last 2 months and theyre not asking.. so why not just go read the thread at the top of the page rather than asking where.. that thread will answer all the questions..

yep. the rom is coming soon. just wait.
Hope so, I m waiting too. But a litter bit too long. Just keep waiting
AP4.0 complaints can now be directed to the official complaint department, headed by Ms. Helen Waite. If you have any further complaints, you can go to . . . .(you figure it out)
Please do not attempt to install pre-release versions or leaked versions of AP4.0 You are at undue risk and doing so is ill advised. This AP team is excellent and we must trust their experience to know when the underlying risks are minimized.
Official Update...
The ROM is very near release. Last night the team started testing the final portion of the ROM and we're almost done. After testing is done I see no reason to hold back the release. Everyone keep your batteries charged...even if you have a copy already you WILL want to flash this last build.
i cant wait!

The ap4 release will be free. However, donations are always welcome and encouraged in that it helps the team buy devices, etc. as well as another way to show your appreciation Many of the team members have a thread in their signatures where you can donate (paypal). There is also a donation link on the forums. My understanding is that there will be a link along w/howtos when ap4 is released (there is a link for that aleady started in the forums). I'd never had a paypal account until I donated here so its easy to set paypal account up.
Many of us don't have the expertise (hence we aren't on the team). Some of us might be on a very tight budget (though even $5 devalued almost worthless US dollars is appreciated). But most everyone can give their respect, encouragement and patience to all those who labor on our behalf. Right now patience is hard--but it is something we can give the pk4 rom team. And it is something that is needed.
When the rom comes out be sure to read & follow instructions carefully.

Guys, like ltxda says it's almost their..We were going to test what hopefully is the final release last night, but we all decided we needed a beer. Just kidding (It got to late)..Actually the test roms so far are working great and you wont be disappointed.
Hats off to everyone involved.

it would be better if he tells us that the rom is far away, so far away that it isn't worth mentioning and then the next day the team surprises us with the release

OK....it's really far far far off before it's released and maybe one day it just shows up....
Not to keep building everyone's hopes up, but these guys want to get it out asap. Just think how much time they are putting into it. When I'm on in the IRC's at 12 midnight(USA) and Olipro or Cmonex are on it's 500am where they are at(I believe it's the UK). Personally I would rather be getting some beauty sleep..
Drink corona beer.
Mexican Corona beer is a good choice while waiting for ap4 release but with moderation. I prefer wait for a reasonable time if at the ending the ap4 rom testers check the bugs that can brick our devices. It's better to be patient. All of us have ours athenas working, our only needs is update the rom but some day will be ready to install. Greetings from México.
Mexican beer? Blech...
I'd rather knock myself out with something English while I'm waiting... Maybe a nice Newcastle or Fuller's ESB. Especially symbolic if Olipro and cmonex are in the UK.

Congrats Irus...your new Athena is well deserved!
Irus,
I would not worry about the folks that did not tell you who they were when they donated. You have a lot of people that are willing to help but do not want the publicity and would prefer to remain anonymous for many reasons. Glad to hear you are getting another device.

Here it is folks, the much requested bounty thread to get an amaze for Mr NRGZ28. "Who is that?" you ask, "and why should I care?" you add to your original question, causing this uncomfortably complicated sentence. Well I'm semi glad you asked! He's a totally stand up dude who sometimes also likes to sit, who has been devving for like, ever. I heard he started out on the telettrofono (look it up), and is known accross the west coast as the Rom whisperer (true story). He's currently running a sensation and making it live up to its name, but we'd like him to move up to an Amaze and work his magic. So we're chipping in to help. Here's his profie
NRGZ28
so you can stalk him. There you'll see super handy donate to me link which is like the best way possible to donate to him. So lets get going!
*IMPORTANT*
Make sure you add a note saying "for the amaze" to the donation, so he can keep track. I'll keep the thread updated with running totals when he gives them to me.
Disclaimers
So giving your money to a dev is like totally giving money away. Its gone. We hope it'll result in an amaze which will then result in awesome roms for the amaze, but no guarantees.

but in any case the thread is for people to donate, peeps who are not interested can kindly spend time elsewhere
Would love to donate when i get money. A extra dev would be lovely right now, been following the energy ROMs for a long while. Anyone know if eVil still devs on HTC devices? used to see him back in the mytouch days and he was a great one.. havent seen him around since the mytouch 3g slide or 4g (i think)

That's not very nice... I don't support the ROM actively because I don't own an Amaze (obviously) and therefore I can't exactly troubleshoot problems with it. This is the reason bobbie started this thread. I support all my other threads quite a lot. But like he said.. if you don't like it, don't crap on someone else's party. It's just not nice.

Why couldn't they release Alphas? I'd be fine with spotty wi-fi and no video.
And now everything is apparently done including video yet still no release? GUYS, stop being such perfectionists, release alphas/betas. WHATEVER. Just get something out so we won't have to use a phone OS on our tablets anymore. PLEASE.

Oh please, the ROM has been ready for weeks now.
I'm sure all of us here have flashed ROMs on our phones/tablets that were spotty and were perfectly fine with them because we knew they were just Alphas/Betas and even in that state they were far better than what we had before.
Patience, young padawan. Good things come to those who wait.
Lets see here we get to install Android on our devices for free and the ROMs are all developed by volunteers. Be grateful that we have a stable Gingerbread port, we will get ICS when its ready. If you want to speed things up get involved with the port or donate towards it.
Can't believe I am even going to enter this thread and reply - but I'd rather wait till they are happy with it and how it will perform than to get some half-cocked ROM released just to shut people up.
If they released it as it is now... people would just start complaining about what they already know doesn't work... EXAMPLE: how many times do people bring up WIFI and sound distortion in regards to the current ROMs?! Everyone knows it's a problem, yet the posts/threads just keep coming.
Let them polish it and enjoy what you have now. It WILL come, but you will appreciate it a lot I promise you when it's released if they take the time to internally test it and feel confident they have done all they can before the first release is placed in user's hands. Another thread about this really isn't going to change anything.
Personally I'd rather the mods just remove these threads that pop up or consolidate them somewhere - so people can easily find the threads that will help them to solve their problems.
Not trying to bait you - I promise - and you are entitled to your opinion, but relax man - it's all going to be ok - I promise! :-D
I too am anxious to get ICS on my touchpad and I do agree that I would have liked to see a beta or an alpha to test it out, but I don't think this is the way to go about asking for it...although I dont know that there is a good way to ask for it, in any case I get where your coming from
Well there is the PreludeDrew Evervolv ICS ROM that just released, you can try that out if your that impatient...
For me, I've tweaked CM7 so much that it doesn't look or feel the same anymore. So basicly i've 'tweaked' it to my taste, and i'm lovin it!
I think the reason why they won't release an alpha or beta, is that people are still trying or getting into CM7. And for a person who is comfortable with CM7, why upgrade to a more buggier OS and nothing works?
EndlessMike, no one owes you a thing. You didn't buy your touchpad from them, aren't paying them to develop or use roms, they didn't promise you a release and didn't imply that you'll get anything...ever.
If you want ICS, buy a Xoom. Better yet, take the time out to learn how to code and develop roms and do it yourself instead of wasting your life away hoping someone will spoon-feed you. Stop complaining.

If you think this wait for a free product is bad, try waiting for Samsung, HTC, Motorola etc to release their ICS update for products people PAID for. The lucky ones are going to have to wait months. The unlucky ones don't even get an update at all.
Considering that that the Touchpad was never even meant to be an Android device in the first place and when most of us bought it, Android for the Touchpad didn't even exist, I'm quite happy with what we currently have and what we will be getting whenever we get it. It's far more than I ever expected and I very much am thankful to the developers for it.

I can't imagine anything more tedious for a Developer than a perfect ROM, especially when the community requests a taste and later demands perfection.
dis thread is ignant, yo.
You guys are late. I stopped checking for it 2 months ago. It'll come out when it comes out.
It saddens and sickens me to see such threads being made. The ungratefulness being shown to the developers is just sickening; and for some reason, it is worse on this forum than on others.
Rather than be excited and respectful, this entire community is degenerating into a group of whiny, self absorbed group who think that the devs live to serv them, and should bow to their whim.

Why don't you go outside and find something better to do other than flashing roms that barely work?
OK I am receiving a di4g today to replace my stratosphere which whent belly up. it is like new replacement
so I am confused. I see roms but i see things in the forum like "NO ROOT YET" so which is it.
I chose this over the nexus because I wanted a global phone and the repo told me it would be a global phone.
so I assume that it will have the update "yes?"
is that why there is no root yet.. ie the old one had a root the update does not.
can someone explain in nutshell the 'state of the phone'
Had root. Root go away. Root coming back soon.

Aptly put.
Also, the newest update allows our phone to be a used globally, but it didn't take away root, Verizon stopped allowing our phone to be unlocked via HTCDev a week after it came out. We're about to have S-OFF, which will re-enable root.
The first few weeks htc dev site allowed people to unlock their phones and install a recovery and roms. After that it was disabled and the reason is up for debate still. Recently an exploit has been found and root was achieved. Now people are just waiting on the tool to be released by that dev team that allows s off and root.

when I orders the phone i saw that it was rooted. an unrooted phone seems just awful. but i can us it that way for a while.
if it too long I will send it back and get a galaxy nexus, and forgo global and the ability to use my sd card

Please wait patiently...
others have been waiting for a while now, and not too mention this phone is basically Verizon's dead horse, so we are VERY lucky that I was able to even get the team to put in their free time to get the tool made.
They are making the tool. Root IS confirmed along with S-OFF.
ONCE the tool is SAFE, then they will release. THEN you can donate to their team, they specifically ask that you DO NOT donate until the tool IS released.
They are doing this on their free time for a phone they do not own.
I spent about 8+ hours total of my time as well with the team letting them remote access straight into the phone thanks to a root exploit found in the new 2.17xxx OTA update found by superdave, that I passed on to the team which they then were able to successfully attain S-OFF, on two Incredible 4G phones, one completely stock like yours, and one that was previously rooted by HTCDev unlock tool before that option got taken away.
The only thing you can do is to please wait patiently, and when the tool is released, please donate to them then. If you want to trade up for a Galaxy Nexus if the tool isn't released quick enough for you that's your choice, this is a great community though and we'd love to have you stay with us.
Thank you,
Andy.

andybones needs credit for raising the funds for a test phone then working with the group that will deliver S-OFF, helping nitsuj17 with 2 amazing ROMs, and patiently responding to everyone's questions. i'm not saying that we shouldn't donate to the S-OFF group, but andybones doesn't take credit, but credit is due.

"Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day" = lol or I'd give a proper "thanks"
Very much appreciated guys!
I only helped Nit with 1 ROM though and he did the majority of the work, and 100% of the next update on the new base thus far (he is killin it! and is a true pleasure for me to be able to work with.) so I can't take too much credit there, but I do appreciated the acknowledgment, you guys donated just as much as I did, I just spent the time with the guys, having a community as awesome and understanding as this one is like a once in a decade kinda thing :good:
It's hurting me just as badly not having the S-OFF tool out, I can't wait for everyone to be able to use their phone the way it's intended to be used..
the way you want it to be!!
I'm also very thankful to superdave for recognizing that the new RUU has an old exploit and the unlimited.io team are simply amazing people, as soon as I mentioned the exploit I asked them if it's something they could work with or had the time to check out, and without a pause they replied to install the RUU, and come back tmw (since they are in wayy tiff diff zone than myself) and the next 4 days straight the worked with me and are such nice people to work with and all the hours made it worth it looking down to see S-OFF, and knowing that what could have been a failed phone be what it deserves to be.

to get the tool appreciated?
Please wait patiently...
others have been waiting for a while now, and not too mention this phone is basically Verizon's dead horse, so we are VERY lucky that I was able to even get the team to put in their free time to get the tool made.
They are making the tool. Root IS confirmed along with S-OFF.

I think my tone was taken the wrong way. by appreciated I meant I want to donate because I appreciate the work of devs.
i am patient and not trying to rush. I know not to ask for eta's (inst that rule 1) rule 2 is donate, rule 3 is always supply a log cats
o and this is less of a red headed step child than the stratosphere. (can't even get a forum on xda)

Please wait patiently...Galaxy Nexus if the tool isn't released quick enough for you that's your choice, this is a great community though and we'd love to have you stay with us.
Thank you,
Andy.

I have been on xda for a while now always helping when I could.
I actually think this phone is a better fit for me (global) , better camera and an removable storage and I am able to be patient. I was just confused when I saw roms and then saw posts saying no root yet. also I have not been pleased with my Samsung phone in the past. they feel cheap. i thought I would try the htc.
why can't all phone feel like the palm treos. nice small heavy

you didn't I was worried I did. so thanks for the welcome to di4g
I am willing to start this off with $20 myself, I would like to handle this like the other bounty thread, I do not want to handle any money myself, we pledge and the first developer to table it or get a working version will then give their PayPal info and subsets directly to them. So with that said, let's get cracking!
I don't think a bounty is necessary here. Some people have gotten really screwed over by bounties
CyanogenMod should be ported soon, and if you think that that deserves a donation, do so upon release. I donated to Bliss today, as he made Loki and ported it to the G2. There are plenty other devs who will benefit from your support. So instead of pledging to a bounty, my plan is to donate to whatever dev's work I use.
I'm not trying to discourage your support, simply discourage these bounties. Often, the only people who get hurt are the devs when people don't follow through.

I agree, I think we need to just see what is next instead of setting up bounties. The simple fact that we have root and recovery will attract some devs. If after a few months we don't see roms then we can start attracting dev but I think the phone itself will do all the attracting we need
Valid points, but I want CM NOW!!!! lol
Please no bounties.
This doesn't end well for anyone involved, and it just makes the devs frustrated.

lol it will be a while. Since there are no google editions made for this device it will be buggy for a while. May be months before you have a stable version.
