All Pledges Have Been Void - This Thread Can Go...

Yep, one was dharvey's rom which the sys is based off the diamond rom that has been around for a while.

Any updates from one of the Devs working on this project...I'm anxious to hear about any progress.

I would gladley pay $20 for working vogue drivers.

Hey whats up guys? I just snapped up a Vogue for $157 lol, Gonna be putting my mogul on ebay in a week or two and was wondering if anybody was ACTUALLY working on this? All the plegded money means nothing if there isn't a organized and active development with progress updates. At this point everyone that has pledged is in effect a name your own price customer....catch my drift?

[jlechner]

Nope. We got fairly close, but not close enough.

[NFSFAN]

Closer than you think :P

I'm working with someone close on this and all I can say is that it works with only one issue, which I'm working on getting fixed at the moment. I will not disclose anymore than this.

The drivers posted by Dharvey are more or less pointless...The Vogue does not have the ati hardware, it could at most use probably an emulation. However the D3D hardware that it does have works just as well as the one on the kaiser. A little surprise for all: TCPMP mpeg4 benchmark DirectDraw 185% with avg 55.41 fps, size of 1 minute file (5 mb)

If the Diamond comes out before the drivers are ported to the Vogue you WILL have the right to retract your bid only if you can provide proof that you purchased a Diamond.

Good luck enforcing that. Business 101: get money or a contract first, then do the work. You have neither. You also have a conflict of interest problem.

What kind of performance is going to determine success of this project? I mean, if you make drivers and they suck, did you succeed? What if they're just a little better than stock? What if only some things are accelerated? What if it's buggy? What if it works great, but your battery life is cut in half? what if it works great but is a resource pig? Who's going to validate that the solution is in fact hardware acceleration and not some form of optimization?

The Diamond will be shipped on the 12th, but not be in stores until the 14th, for sale on the 15th. Yes, this is very reliable data. I live in KC and several of my friends work for or are store/district managers for Sprint or Wireless Lifestyle stores. I went out drinking with them last weekend. Alcohol is great for getting information out of people.

The one off thing that struck me is the date is the same date that Sprint officially lauches XOHM and the N810W and the rest of their aircards. Kind of odd to hold one phone back for the XOHM launch, eh?
