Hmm...

Looks good to me.

Re: [March 9th, 2009 @ 2:17pm] Just another rom... Sprint\Verizon
 

I am not sure what the problem is... I might try to relock it and unlock it again. See if that works.

Re: [March 9th, 2009 @ 2:17pm] Just another rom... Sprint\Verizon
 

rhodium port almost done have you started playing with the new manilla files yet?

Re: [March 9th, 2009 @ 2:17pm] Just another rom... Sprint\Verizon
 

Lots of action with the new manila released. Letting you know your missed!

Re: [March 9th, 2009 @ 2:17pm] Just another rom... Sprint\Verizon
 

weapon! how come this thread has been dead!?
with all the hype about TP2 manilla im surprised you havent told us about an update or new release! im cant wait to get my touch pro back from verizon and i reallly want to put your rom back on but this tp2 manilla is too tempting please please please release something soon or let us know if you have any new plans!

Re: [March 22nd @ 12:49pm] It was just another rom...
 

Thanks guys for the support.

I do have the new manila and some fantastic ideas for skinning, modifing, etc. However...

I believe this thread has flatlined...

And as such, I am withdrawing from the public eye for several reasons:

1. Too many developers...
2. Too many roms... (because there are too many developers)
3. Too many repeat questions... (because too many developers making too many roms)
4. Seems to be a subtle competition between rom developers...
5. The need for "Thanks", giving "love", appreciation, credits due, etc is too chaotic. Too much concern over free released software, etc. (if you are afraid you will not recieve due credit, dont post it. Simple.)
6. I do not have the resources to stay up-to-date
7. I am not smart...
8. My 1987 IBM Thinkpad with 256mb ram is just not cutting it
9. There are too many beta roms, leaks, Official "UnOfficial" releases, etc that doesnt really allow to create a mainstay rom. And as a result everyone is flashing everyday.
10. My roms are too heavily modified for everyday users.
11. This hobby takes away from my firearm hobby.
12. Too many self-deputized moderators.

There may be more but I think this sums the vast portion of it. I will have the links and thread remain active... until someone(s) decide to argue and ultimately have this thread locked down. So until then, please feel free to post it up and help each other. I will visit frequently to assist in what I can.

I may post underground roms and have them share through user-to-user via PM/email/etc. We will see...

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

wow man i feel ya. ive been lurkin round these forums awhile dont post much, cause im not all that smart either but try to contribute when i can. i have seen a bit of drama round here lately. there was just some big weird blow up in juicy's thread today. I really dig the way u skin your roms out. im pretty lazy. i usually just flash a rom and use whatever skinning the chef has already cooked in. which for the most part are boring. i couldnt use ur rom too fucntionally cause there seemed to be conflicts with it and alltel but since i flashed it and got to play around with it a bit i find myself trying to duplicate ur skinning on others roms and ive come pretty close.-is that the longest run-on sentence or what? anyway hate to see you discontinue your rom production to lose someone that is doing something so different than everyone else hurts. it takes away from the blah. i know its time consuming but its got to be a whole lot cheaper than your firearms. i know i smoke through the dough firing my desert eagle 50ae. i hope u will pm/email when u cook up your personal roms. thanks again

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

Xweaponx

I just wanted to say your roms are soo good there on another level...
I see that you dedicated much time and effort into making these great roms of yours..
Soo basically what I want to say is thanks for your hard work bro.

Re: [March 22nd @ 12:49pm] It was just another rom...
 

Sorry you feel that way, You'll be missed.

Re: [March 22nd @ 12:49pm] It was just another rom...
 

+1 You'll be missed

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

i just about cried when i read that weapon =[
i will be missing you greatly! you rom was by far my favorite...and i flashed every rom i could get my hands on.
i cant believe this is the end! your customization was the best thing done to a rom to date. There isn't a single rom that looked as slick as yours or was as heavily customized.
I cant take it man please release something else! or include me in your underground rom release =[ ahhhh nnooooooo weapon
i totally agree with you though i hate seeing roms called "best rom ever" or "one rom to rule them all" its all a bunch of bull**** **** man im getting all worked up now!
but i see why you chose to stop and just wanted to say thanks for your roms they were the best!

I feel a fast-paced shift in HTC devices & software is upon us. There will be tons of new development/new devices in the upcoming months and in perspective I feel that unless I really have something really innovative, I need to leave the practical development to those that are skilled in such and properly equipped.

I would imagine that many newcomers to PPCGeeks are easily overwhelmed when they arrive and the fact that everything right now is progressing so fast makes it difficult for the average new guy to grasp the necessary material. There are more roms/apps/tweaks/mods than ever before. The patience for explaining material is running out (taken into account that searching should have been accomplished beforehand but remember that we too were excited the very first time...) and many are getting burned out. The frequency of thread closures/cleanups based upon conflict of interests/arguments is becoming worrisome. I simply want to reduce my clutter to the overall picture.

And yes, firearms are more expense...

but they make loud noises which me likey... ;-)

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

well thanks for your hard work it was great while it lasted!
thanks for being so modest too....even though your rom was one of the best out there by far!

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

:notworthy:Thanks xweaponx for all of your hard work, and a great rom edition to the forum, you dont always need the latest man just keep up with what you can, i know many of the poeple hear enjoy your roms, and wouldnt change to another, i tried your rom and there great, even if youd make a rom once a month or every 2 months that would make many people happy, if not you were a great addition to all the chefs hear at ppcgeeks.:pale:

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

Thanks guys. I will still be around and may do some theme projects. Ill keep you posted ibmxx187, and a few others on underground additions.

And while your here, thank you Merdinh for helping me make my rom better. I greatly appreciate your contribution to vastly improving my battery life...

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

Count me in for the underground...you already know my thoughts bro...

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

thanks wepon cant wait to try them
and i cant wait to see what you come up with next!

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

I was just thinking when i seen the rhodium tf3d came out, "i cant wait till weapon gets a hold of this" Thanks for the awsom roms man

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

I remember when I released my first Mighty Stable ROM (Old rom name) back in the diamond forum around September. There were a lot of roms at the time, no one really spoke in my thread, it was tough. I had like 10 users compared to Juicy's 1000+

At many times, I wanted to just stop because whats the point. Juicy always had new updates with all these new things, while I didn't have much access to them all.

At the end of it all, It was just NICE knowing people were using my creation. So it kept me going and the rom became more popular.

It's a shame to see chefs go, especially the ones who provided a DIFFERENT experience. Personally customized manila, etc.

I posted a message in the diamond forum last night in another thread basically stating it doesn't matter how many replies or views your thread has, your providing something to the community and sharing it for everyone.

It's sad to see you go, you truly had a different rom compared to the others and people most recognized you for that particular reason.

Take care bud!

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

xweaponx, Thanks for you work. Your ROM, although highly customized for your specific needs, was blazingly fast and trim. I enjoyed running it on my TP.

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

heyy weapon is there any way i could get the oem or cab for your slide2unlock
it was the best looking customized version ive seen and i worked soo smooth. i was also wondering how you got it to be so smooth and not lag or skip at all

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

I'd have to completely agree with the point being made by Mike. I myself have maybe 10 users...lol.... but it's been really cool helping the chef's with their rom's. I could have 20,000 users and it wouldnt mean as much to me as it did for people such as yourself that came and asked for my input. I personally think you should keep updating as time permits but going underground would be a loss to the community. If you do quit atleast teach me all of your tricks first :evil4: j/k. Dont let the number of so called "developers" discourage you. Alot of them just run a standard kitchen with standard choices and then tag their name to it. That's not developing that's cooking and as I said before (I think in this thread actually).... I can teach a monkey to click a button a few times. It takes talent to do what you've done with your rom's. I don't even consider myself a developer. All I did was streamline and simplify the process for some people. But I did see it as a small way to contribute. I hope you reconsider....

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

|||bored||| has a really good point please reconsider xweapon! i hate to keep posting but im hate to see such a great DEVELOPER like you go into hiding what you did to your rom was amazing and very cool
infact i am still using your 1.14 rom! i keep trying others but always end up flashing back to yours. would love to see what you could do with the touchpro2 manila. I say you keep making your rom and we will all spread the good word! forget the other cooks we need more developers like you! Your rom is truely unique and thats what i love about it

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

I have to agree with EVERYONE, DONT GO! You are EXTREMELY talented and I for one loved using your creations and Im sure alot of other people did also. I also hope you reconsider, if not best of luck and thank you very much for everything youve done!

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

damn man i used to be a diamond then recently got a pro and been barely catching up on things here at ppc geeks and i tried three roms already which im not gonna lie were good but i needed something... something else, then i just flashed urs and dam its really eye bogglin!!! im amazed all those customizationg look great now i love my pro!!! too bad ur going underground, sad man hope to see some of those underground roms tho soon i will be happy to support them!!!! take care and good luck bro!

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

im new to the forum but this is the first rom i flashed on my phone and i love it..sad to hear your taking a break but if you do come back i will surely use wutever u cook.

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

I have yet to try your rom as alltel as been awaiting revision since I started coming to this comunity but I agree its a shame to see a good chef go. and although I havnt been able to test out your rom I have seen alot of possitive feedback.

*stomps foot** you cant leave till alltel is reased* LMAO jk

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

I have to agree with others here, your ROM rocks hard!! I keep coming back to it. You are very talented dude!! Whatever you do... take care...

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

i have two questions if anybody can help..one how can i get picture messaging on this rom and is there anyway to add custom ringtones like mp3s and such..xweaponx i love this rom..keep up the good work..

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

i'm using this rom but it keeps sending the same texts to my friends numerous amounts of times, is there a way to stop that?

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

Well, for the record, I rocked your ROM for a while and loved it. Only reason I stopped using it is to experience everything that's out there. I never posted here I guess cause I never had ANY issues with your ROM. As far as look and feel, there is NOTHING else out there like your ROM. Most other Roms are fairly similar, but the detail in this ROM insane. Hope you haven't really left yet, but good luck either way, and thanks for sharing your talents.

Re: [March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...
 

BUMP! Everyone needs to try this rom out!
