i thought that was the rom...my bad!

for sure cmonex and nochem work closely together at least for pushing msm processors and device ports for win ce so that may have a lot to do at least with cmonex
most of the other members are doing cooperative projects on xda developers and making roms for other devices or helping the community in things like
manila porting, theme creation etc etc etc
okay sure they didnt make a unified rom for cdma big friggin deal...considering how much they did give to the community and chances are with most other devices to come, they'll still give us something or contribute to a project that helps us on a whole instead

and above the fact this thread is and has been locked twice before why does this keep coming up???

also I donated to them and I'm not complaining in the very least

we complain about no rom when without this, we couldn't even be close to getting other carrier's phone on different cdma networks (at least legally).
And we're complaining why they didn't come out with a rom and they've made unlockers and a panoply of other things for our xda devices...
besides the fact that this topic isn't even supposed to be here wtf?
seriously *shakes head*

PLEASE!!! They solicited donations for ROM... NOT AN UNLOCKER. I probably would have donated to an unlocker project but that was not the promise.

And also understand that the complaints didn't start flying around here until it had been close to THREE MONTHS since the promised ROM. I think they got plenty of patience from us.

that too isn't completely true
in each post they gave they had a donation link - not just for a project rom but donating to the raphael elite project
and their project was the unlocker so I assume they wanted people to donate for both projects and not just one.
Yall the ones that donated for a rom not me

no. we're complaining because they solicited funds for that particular rom and then gave nothing. and FYI, if they didn't come up with the unlocker, someone else would have.

ever see boiler room?

I don't have anything to do with this story since I came here A.T. (After Theft)... But for me the point is not that they keep helping or that they helped a lot... For me the point is that they specifically asked for money for something specific before it was made and that it was never delivered.

That's wrong.


What is also wrong is opening threads in the wrong section.

Well put!

but that's just it they sort of didn't ask for donations just for the rom it was for unlocker and rom and for unlocker they delivered and fast

even in the first thread-first post

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=41345

and I'm going to quote the very first post

ATTENTION CDMA FANS OF ALL AGES!!! The Elite Team that has brought xda some of the best ROMs, for GSM devices, now wants to include YOU and PPCGeeks in our family.
With your support and interest we'll work together to bring you a CDMA version of our Raphael Elite Project ROM and unlock the phone of course, thus expand the project's offering. We need to know how many are interested if any.
The core team is made up of Astainhellbring, LennySh, Olipro, Cmonex, MrVanx, LTxda and a few others Also joining us is a local favorite, no2chem. Some of these names you've heard and some you haven't but rest assured, it's all about quality and professionalism here.
Devices we've focused on in the past include but aren't limited to the HTC Athena/x75xx, HTC Raphael, HTC Polaris, and the list goes on. Just do a search for member names on xda and you'll see the level and depth of our involvement in such projects. Some of us also have a high level of involvement in the PPCGeeks community and are well known here.

Now secondly you feel they stole your money why? They even said they needed a device to test it on. Now I can't say if they have a device or not, but what I can say the project wasn't just for OMG just teh romz!!!

Third, for the assumption that money was stolen, look all over xda they were one of the first roms to be made for gsm variants of the touch diamond/pro/hd series of roms.

Plus let's consider this
nochem is also on the team. Is it possible that to get the rom made faster he enlisted in help with the elite project?

This friggin topic has been burned to the ground ad nauseum and every single time the topic has been locked. Give it a rest people. PM the guys if you want to know about the project. but don't say hi they stole my moneys when in fact first post indicated it wasn't just for a rom. If you donated just for a rom that is your loss because they explicitly stated the intention of the friggin post

Actually the thread that we're talking about wasn't the Unlocker thread it was the ROM thread promising DETAILS about the ROM... two completely different areas.

Also, no2chem hasn't said a single word about this rom, not on here, his blog or in the PM I sent (which I won't post)
