I've searched numerous times, and also subscribed to threads on this topic.

you posted before you read my last post. i feel bad for anyone who donated and feels cheated. but this thread is going to go nowhere fast.

I saw the Elite ROM in the wild a couple months ago --- talked to a guy on the team, he thought everything was flawless... but they wanted it *perfect*

Sorry... I was replying while reading... I saw your retraction.

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

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)

[darren.wlsn1]

hibby didnt hear about it, so this thread may have helped him. if i see a thread thats been beat to death, i dont post in it. go pens

2: Is there a more VGA friendly version of BejiveIM, or are there edits that can be made so the icons aren't so tiny?

3: Any ballpark on a release date?

Thanks!

#1 we will have to discuss this and will let you know

#2 in our gsm rom BeeJive looks and works fine so you should be in luck

#3 Release date is unknown atm as for the fact that almost none of the team have devices to start work or develop with so please keep donations coming so we can get some devices and produce you something amazing

Yes you have it right, and no this is no joke. We have a crack team of developers to build you a rom that will impress. Check our thread for the gsm version on xda at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443265 The donations that people are sending us are intended to help developers buy devices so that they can create and tweak for peoples enjoyment. Also because of the members of our team we can do things that no one else can, members like cmonex and no2chem. Already cmonex has done some amazing things for us for the rom tweaking and the hard-spl with more to come. We have purchased one device so far with the donations sent to us and have started tweaking and rom building. We greatly appreciate the donations so far and look forward to any that anyone else can send. The sooner we can get a few more devices the sooner we can have everything tested and release an RC to wet the appetites of those that have donated. We have a high level of standards amongst the team and want the release the best possible.

Re: CDMA Raphael Elite Project!
Hey guys time for an update! We currently are alpha testing the rom after having been able to receive two devices. SO far results look VERY promising speed and performance wise. We greatly appreicate your donations and plan on trying to bring you the best we can as quickly as possible. Know this though, we will not be pressured to release early. Only once the testers we have so far say its ready for an RC will it be released to the masses. But remeber this is definately something to be excited over! Speed fluidity and that nice elite power! Keep your device ready and your donations coming. Thank you!


The unlocker was delivered in early Nov, they were still soliciting donations, and promising a ROM as of 11/28, there was supposedly an ALPHA version on 12/15.

We're trying to finalize a few things in the RC1 candidate as we'll be releasing a non-final ROM so we don't keep people waiting. Once RC1 is released we'll want the communities feedback, bug reports, and feature/enhancement requests so we can get RC2 released as quickly as possible.
Then a note on 1/2 still soliciting donations:
