Sprint is not going to do me any favors since I have a legacy plan and I pay less than $37/mo (after taxes/fees). I am eligible to get a partial discount on an upgrade, but I don't want to pay $400.

I don't have that many text messages or emails. I have been starting to get a lot of #777 errors lately too. It probably is just windows rot, because this is the longest I have gone without flashing (EVER). I guess if there is no final MightyROM release by October I'll flash to something else.

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

Well after a year of using my TP2 I have switched to the dark side.
I bought 3 iPhone 4's to replace our TP2's. If it wasnt for Mike I would have returned these phones back to Telus along time ago. But as soon as Mike gave up on these phones I knew the writing was on the wall as our phones havent worked well since we bought them.

The only other option we had would have been a Blackberry, but they didnt have anything decent or current in our market yet. I heard the Storm 3 was coming out in November, but I would have beaten the crap out my TP2 long before that as i have resorted to pulling the battery at least once per day due to the consant freezing we were experiencing. I have never had anything other than Mike roms running so I know it isnt from a 3rd party, just crappy hardware, and buggy Windows 6.5 problems.

I know alot of users have switched to Android, but after all the hassles this past year, I wanted a phone that actually would let me answer my in comming calls and text messages without freezing up. Im sure the Android phones will be much better as time goes by, but having so many people using 1 specific phone means there will be plenty off apps and accessories available compared to all the other phones on the market. I never did find a decent case for the TP2 which was another huge reason I wanted a iPhone 4.

I have been visiting this site at least once per day for the past year, but now I doubt I will be around much longer.

I would like to thank Mike and all the other helpful people on these forums for making this past year as enjoyable as possible.

Just wanted to drop by and say hello to everyone :)

I obviously have not been around for a while as I've been busy with personal matters the last little while.

I will drop by soon to read up and see what's been happening lately.

Take care guys/gals!

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

i had something witty to say here, like about replacing "personal matters" with "Android"... and stuff about a final MR and dodging the inevitable questions...

but my backspace likes to cancel out messages and take its "back"space function seriously (i blame the trackpad on my laptop)... and you can guess from what i put above



Anywho... hard reset time (still on MR)

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

Hope everything is ok... Good luck with what you have on your plate.
Thanks for the hello. Ttyl bro...

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

glad to see you're still around MM!

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

Hello....install the attached cab..soft reset and you should be good2go.
*Sprint Only!

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

I read a couple of pages and seeing what some are saying about ROM's and what not... Pretty interesting read....

I have to let you guys know that after I converted to Android, I HATED LIFE! I had to re-learn a lot, but after those pains got taken care of, I must say, it's the best decision I've made. Simply put, you cannot challenge Google's clouds tech. everything is done over the air! No need for active sync or anything like that. Plus there's tons of add-ins for your Chrome or FF to interact with your phone without having to touch it. I remembered I relied on Outlook, now Gmail has replaced it, I don't even use MS products! I exported my contacts and uploaded it to Google, and I was done! Everything was in there except for contact pictures, but the contact notes and all that other data was there. By the time I completed the upload, all of my contacts were on my phone, I didn't have to do anything or hook anything up, I just logged into my gmail account once on my phone and I was done. :-\"

ROM's aren't really needed with Android phones because they come out working great! You may need to switch kernels around for more performance, but that's just about it. Most people who use ROM's use it for 2 things: To have a ROM free of Sense or to have a ROM that has no carrier apps, other than that, the need for custom ROM's to enjoy your phone is over. I remember working with Mike on this Project for the Diamond, TP and TP and if those phones didn't have these custom ROM's they were simply crap!

I would love to do one last Hurrah with Mike, I guess for the TP2, but I sold mine, I have nothing to test with, the files I used to have are all gone now, the server is still there sitting, and the update would be really minor IMO. Not too much has changed since the last build...

I remember staying up with Mike till like 4am - 6am building and testing stuff, making major releases, having you guys kill my server :P. I remember changing servers like 6 times all to make your downloads quick without any ads. It was overwhelming, but fun at the same time. :)

Everyone has a different need when it comes to phones, I love my EVO, but I will admit, I miss the TP2 keyboard, to me, it is the best keyboard to ever touch a cellphone! I just cannot pull away from Google right now. If I ever forgot my cellphone and needed to make an emergency call, I could find someone with a Android phone, log into my gmail account and get all of my contact information and call who I needed. You're not going to be able to do that with any other mobile OS. Switching ROM's is easier and quicker on Android, UC has nothing on Titanium Backup! Every morning at 3am my entire phone is backed up to my SD card. If I were to ever remote wipe or factory reset my phone, 5 minutes is all it would take to restore every single thing! WM I had to create .cabs, create UC's and SDconfig files... LOL... Wow... Flash back! :bigsmurf:

Just thought I'd stop by, I still miss a lot of you's even though I don't come on here as I used to... :)

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

Good to hear from you again, Rico. Thanks for all the work you put into the earlier days of this ROM to make it more usable for the rest of us down the line. You deserve much thanks. You're right: It's amazing to see how far mobile OSes have come, and how fast they're improving - software and hardware alike. Feels like phone tech seems to be exceeding Moore's Law lately...

...

As for the rest of us still on the TP2, while Android seems to be kicking the TP2's butt lately, TP2 devs may still have a few tricks left up their sleeves. NRGZ just tweeted a possible breakthrough when it comes to the performance of our device. By replacing the start menu with a custom replacement (that looks like the 6.1 start menu), they've been able to free up 50-60 megs of RAM :thumbleft:

(see here: Twitter / Energy: Developing a start menu re ... )

He plans to release it in a ROM later today. Hopefully this will fully roll out to the rest of the TP2 ROMs as time goes on. This update should really help in terms of speed and performance


UPDATE: You don't need to wait for this to be ported to a ROM in order to benefit from it. Head over to this post over at XDA to see how to use Colossus's start menu remover cab, and how to replace it with a much less RAM-hungry alternative:

That's awesome to hear, I'll be keeping up with his updates :headbang:

the King is Around :)

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

Mighty's tag now shows him as "retired staff"

Guess that means we won't be hearing from him much anymore :(

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

MightyROM Support will now take place at MightyROM

A small community forum will be set up for this shortly,

Thank you all for your Support for the Mighty Team, MightyMike and MightyROMs!

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

It is Truly sad what I just heard regarding the MM series.

Since MM has closed his account here. I hope Mr.X could answer this question.

I just read his twitter and MMrom.com, MM said that both of you will be releasing the first MM Desire Rom that will follow on other devices (Android).

What about us WM users? Is MM going to release his final version for us TP2 Users?

Thank you,
Bteljuice

Thanks for the update Esch. Mike is the reason I switched here from XDA specifically for the TP2, and I'm sad to see things end like this.

As far as PPCGeeks goes, guys, please voice your support for Mike (as do most of us), but please refrain from bashing PPCGeeks on their forums over it. You will just be making work for moderators that may not have had any input in these decisions, and it is obvious that everyone who follows Mike are not happy about this decision.

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

Yeah, that's unfortunate.

I have to say it's been a nice ride helping Mike out. But then again, he's helped me alot over this last year.

I suspect that people here don't realise that my first smart phone was my TP2, that I received 14 Sep 09, well now a year later, I've moved on to the HTC Incredible.

CMon was nice enough to give me the HSPL a day early, so I unlocked and flashed the only ROM available, Elite Team's RC1. After only an hour on it, i.e. my drive to work, I started complaining about it in IRC. Mike PM'd me, asked if I really was unlocked, and then gave me a pre-release of MightyRom for the TP2.

Since that day, Mike and I have become good friends, and I have helped him release some good shit, to include ZURN and auto-prov. Auto-prov actually came out of an idea I had when I noticed X releasing an Imagio ROM, and it just grew from there.

Due to Mike, I met up with Mr. X, who I now refer to as the younger Canadian version of myself. When Mike took a leave of absence, I started working with X, and of course we had a lot of fun with the shit too. What you guys didn't see or hear about, was the behind the scenes stuff, like the new tools I made for X's kitchen, to make him even lazier then he already was.

It's been a good run, thanks for all the help and support over this last year. I plan on being in the background for awhile, but I also plan on releasing my kernels over on XDA for the Incredible.

Dude this isn't cool. The MR series is the reason I joined PPCGeeks 2 years ago with the TP1. I don't know all of what's happened, but not cool at all. I definitely hope alot of what his twitter said is not true in regards to PPCGeeks.

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

WOW... that's all I can say.

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

This is BAD news!

"Shame, Shame on you PPCGeeks"

That being said, it's time to move over to Mightyrom.com.

Wishing all the MMR TP2 users, All the Best!

Farewell.

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

Thanks for the support everyone!

Just remember... WE ARE the empire.... We will prevail :D

MightyROM will continue programming soon! so don't worry!

Just for this shit storm, I will also release my entire TP2 Kitchen on MightyROM.com soon....

Stay tuned,

And yes, I am ONE PISSED OFF MOUSE.

This will officially be my last post on PPCG.


----- Lets try this again without moderators silently editing my post----

Go **** yourself ppcg!!!!! ---- Bai!

My question is, who edited the original post?? This is not the whole thing that MM posted.

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

wow, really PPCG? incredible! Onto question for others still learking and able to answer: """This raises only 2 questions I can think of that dont have a definite Yes/No answer... 1): Will there still be a FINAL MR for the TP2 (I aint going no-where) and 2): Will Mr.X be releasing that HSPL for the TP2 that I have heard nothing but praise for by the testers he chose... Those are the only 2 questions I really would like definite answers to..."""


*also silent editing is really just an "im guilty" sign...

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

MightyROM will always live on!! This was my VERY FIRST custom ROM and the best start for anyone new to flashing. This will definitely hurt PPCG & is a damn shame!! If I may say so myself! MightyMike I wish u the best bro! & Im sorry they did u wrong like this...

Re: ░░░░ MightyROM.com ░░░░ Windows Phone® ░░░░
 

Agreed!
