Re: CDMA Raphael Elite Project!
Hey guys sorry it has been so long on the update. We have gone through a few internal betas and had been progressing well but the holiday and our main cook ending up in the hospital has slowed things down. He is doing well and will be back to cooking asap so keep it going and the dream alive we are working to produce the best we can. Thank you for your current and future donations.

Cool Re: CDMA Raphael Elite Project!
First of all, we are very deligently working on this rom, with beta's probably fixing to start rolling out daily starting yesterday to our internal team. We are very close to an RC1. Only have a few minor issues so far to work out. We do hope to plan an RC1 release this month. So keep your fingers crossed! As far as these new video drivers, we are aware of these, but please link us to the one's you're referring to so that we can make sure we are using the most recent/best drivers out there so that we can test very thoroughly. So far, we've only tested Sprint and Alltel versions of this ROM. (Alltel still Rulez BTW!) We hope soon to be able to test other carriers. (May need testers, but we'll get back to you on this subject after further discussion internally.) This is all for now. I'll post more info later on.

Have a nice day!

Right now it kind of feels like the Emporer has no ROM.
Sorry but we can't release anything till its ready. We all have an avid testing cycle and no internal betas will be released. We are working diligently to create the best and fastest we can and will share it when its ready. Stay excited you will like it

Thread Closed 2/18 with NO DELIVERY.


Don't tell me to read a thread, unless you mean the whole thread. Let's not re-write history here people.

[beefcakeb0]

yea noir u dont understand the conversation, wrong link.
they have had the unlocker since the phones debut. and devs get donations for theyr personal roms. so as far as i see people have donated for a late realease if anything. (if it does show) and at most a racket

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



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

I for one didnt donate! BUT! Noir, even if it was or wasnt the unlocker thread, take close attention to one of your quotes!!!....

"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."

IT CLEARLY STATES THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT MAKING A ROM FROM THE RAPHAEL ELITE TEAM THAT IS FOR THE CDMA TP! AAAAAANNNNNDDDDDD "AN UNLOCKER OF COURSE"!!! this isnt fair for the people who actually did donate! seriously, look into what you post before arguing something that you are going to look like a total dumbA$$!

Let's face it, the Touch Pro 2 is going to be out long before we see a viable release candidate, and even if we did, it'd be a slap in the face for it to come out this late in the game.

They took the money and used it to develop a GSM version, that's what they did. It's plain and simple. What they have looks nice, but honestly, it probably isn't all that much better than what we have Mighty making for us already. CDMA FTW guys!

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*

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.

that's not even the debate!
You guys are all gallavanting about a rom when in fact the whole cdma project was a 3 fold
-unlocker
-rom
-hacks

and they've always said step one is the rom unlocker and they delivered. And now a bunch of idiots (and yes I do mean idiots) are standing on their heels saying Oh they didn't deliver the rom they promised us! You guys donated to this project which wasn't solely just based on a friggin rom. You guys donated based on the work they have done on xda developers.

For one thing this is another case of buyer beware. In fact, you still haven't abided by the forum rules here by continuously bringing this up then you wanna come and say omg they didn't give this to us. Minus the fact that these guys have consistently unlocked devices for several platforms. Heck in every single thread they have even begun, there was a donate link who cares

Oh they just wanted donation for roms - look if that was the case, there wouldn't be a donate link on every single rom.

There is a reason the last topic, and the last topic, and the topic before that one was locked. You guys wanna get your money back take it up to the developers. But don't start crying like a bunch of babies because you think you got screwed. Because just think you would be stuck with a stock rom without their help. Don't get me wrong nochem would've unlocked the phone with cmonex most likely (I'm pretty sure that would've happened) but it wouldn't be nearly as fast.

I mean seriously you can't have your cake and eat it too. And on that note I am honestly done with this thread because it will probably be moved/locked just like all the other friggin threads on this issue

*/rant*
btw I donated 25 dollars to this project and ffs you don't even see me complaining about it. Heck you want to complain take it to astain, cmonex and some of the mods on xda because they are on the team as well. But you don't...why is that I wonder? hm...

you're still missing the point. what the "ELITE" team should have done is at least let everyone know they had stopped working on the rom. what they did was leave everyone hanging. i honestly felt after the thread was closed that they would continue and finish and post. whether here or over a XDA. and i keep going over there and looking and there is no mention of it at all.

why do you keep defending them? so they made the unlocker, BFD. like i said, if they didn't, someone else would have. i don't owe them crap.
