HELLO
EVERY DAY SINCE THE ISSUED OF THIS FORUM ----I CHECK IF THERE IS A NEW THING APART FROM HOW TO LIBERATE THE SHIFT AND THERE IS NOTHING

NO BODY CN FIGURE OUT ANY NEW THING

spoke too soon i guess the terminology, u got a fully fledged working liberated rom for gps, and its a good edition, we have to continue to talk even if no result appears so we can show the honored developers that we are still egger for what ever they are finding so they continue to develope, otherwise they will think theretime is just lost for bunsh of ghosts, if you look at my post onto ways of using ur shift so u can make it more intersting untill that time where u its completly unlocked, i think september is going to be the best month for shift full of good news and following to that xmass time where the big bomb phone being enabled am not ofcourse basing this on any finding nor i have contacted Nostradamos lately , its how i wish things to go
(1) And what did you contribute?

[2] Do you have better ideas to help this out?
I do not contribute, since I do not know anything of programming, but at least, read and support the work of many, many people, which do it for free. However, one of the things I will never do is demand anything here, only wait patiently.
Since I bought my Tytn two years ago, one of the reasons I bought the Shift (and very soon the Diamond) was the existence of "xda-developers" and the people which is in here.
Please, be more sensible to all of us: read the forum if you like, take and use the software which suits to you, but never, never demand anything here. The only thing you can do is to be grateful to all those unknown people which make possible the existence of this site.

i agree 100% with you am a user of windows based mobile since 2003 and i still use it because of this forum, it always made any phone i buy worth 4 or 5 times more than its reall value, even the shift now if it coasts 1400
i would say my return value is like that
600 for vista laptop side
300 for winmo side
the remainder is what this site will give me and guess what after 1 year from today the value will be another 900 dollars which is more than the original value where you have bought this phone at

Firstly, take your caps lock off, it means youre shouting!
Secondly, I have owned a Shift since the day it was released in the UK. these forums have been invaluable to me personally. Using the forums I have: -
Liberated my Shift
Dual Booting my shift with XP
Solved a Wi-fi problem
Taken advice on the dissapearing SD card issues
And will be trying the new ROM
How can you possibly say its a waste of time. Its comments like yours (which are obviously written in anger) that really annoy me. I am not a programmer so I cannot assist with ROMs etc, but I check this forum everyday and I am thankful the guys/gals at XDA-Developers keep this site up and running for FREE for the likes of you and me.
I suggest you get off your high horse and apologise. If it wasnt for the likes of Cmonex, Prof and Febelus (who worked so hard finding XP drivers) sites like XDA-Developers would not exist, then we'd all have to work a lot harder to make our devices more usuable.

If you dont submit anything and only like to take you have no right to say anything .
I dont know how to program and therefore Iam very happy with this site it helps me a lot there is a answer here for most problems and there are people here dedicating a lot of there spare time to help us and I suppose themself out . we should salute them not attack them .
There is ofcourse a better solution please stay of this site or keep silent.
Agree with everyone's comments - firstly, please respect the work that has already taken place...it is not insiginificant as you would have us all think. Secondly, liek me you propbably cannot contribute to code work, but you CAN contribute support by discussing experiences no matter how small.
Communities are about sharing, not sitting back waiting for those doing the work to deliver rewards at your feet...wake up...
I guess the most obvious statement would be :
" When you bought the Shift, didnt you know about all its limitations
or do you just want to mooch of contributions to this forum? "
i am so tired of people who buy their devices, expecting the members
of this forum to turn them in to marbels of technology.
I bought the shift because I thought it would be useful for me, and it is.
Any modification, hint or advice from the people here and any contribution
i can make, are god given.
Thank you all for the hard work guys and girls...
Well said!

You are right. I come here regularly, so that I could learn something and make my devices for better usage by extending and expanding their capabilities. This forum is more educative than anything else. Sometimes you have to wait for a better result. This is not a paid forum or support. Everyone here is putting their free cycles and making these devices more powerful and useful. the more you wait, the more you learn. Majority of times it takes a lot of time, because it is step by step advancement not a single day work, because most of us have to learn and understand device architecture and remove barriers; even a human's birth takes well more than 9 months and patience. There will be people like pcAngel, who would want everything right immediately, well then, they should not buy Shift.
Thank you very much to everyone, who is contributing to make our devices powerful.
My 2 cents
Ram
I find myself as a long time lurker needing to come out from under my rock and finally comment about this quite stereotypical noob troll. From his utterly 733tspeak, caps lock pounding, noob troll bleat we can determine that he most likely is the quintessential internet tough guy that can not afford one of these devices unless he steals it. I am in awe the moron here can find something on the internet other then 2girls1cup and his hand on his snake. That being said, after powering through his 12 year old fresh on a post board rant, I am still lost as to what if anything this troll wants to express other then the " I am entitled to it because I [email protected]#$ing say so" post of the ignorant. That being said I am curious, junior, whether your 12 year old idiot ass, understands what goes into reverse engineering a device ROM and then building a custom built ROM? Please let us know so we can add you to the project.
Jackass...
Well..........
I agree with saiweb, worldpcdude and aquasesh....
What if anything has pcangel contributed? You show your complete ignorance of the device by basically missing the point of XDA altogether...
The likes of pof / thaihugo / cmonex etc that have made invaluable progress for us all in regards to the shift's functionality should be respected and appreciated...
Yes many of us would like things faster but if you can't add to the collective through your own abilities at least have the common courtesy of not showing you complete lack of intelligence by your ill advised, impolite initial post...
If you have nothing constructive to say, spare US ALL (yes I shouted that) your indignant rant and just say NOTHING AT ALL...
Any basic research into the shift would have provided you an understanding of what it would do and where it's shortcomings were and many of us bought a shift (I was one of the first in the UK to have one) with this acceptance...
XDA has shown over many years they are masters at making a device do what it was never designed to / intended to do, and we have all been the better for it.... We need more people like the XDA developers and LESS PEOPLE LIKE YOU...

Someone please inform this fellow that XDA Developers is not a government department. Deep down I have a feeling that the guy never meant what was stated. My gut feeling is that his is bad case of a stale joke. So let us all laugh off the joke and live happily ever after......
I hate cowards. The fellow started this thread and vanished. If he/she/it is serious about the nasty comments why not post a response in defence of his position. He is the type that start bar brawls and quietly slip out while jaws are being broken.
Most of us bought our Shifts with full knowledge of its limitations. We all know the hardware is fantastic but the problem is the supplied software. Its like hTC merely built for us a very nice house but supplied crap furniture. And someone is working on the best formula to get us the perfect furniture for our beautiful house. Can anybody in their right mind start abusing the person who is working on a formula to supply the furniture for free??????
I bet this guy has never made similar rants against hTC. Yet he has the audacity to insult the guys who are working to make the Shift the device that we all yearn for. Methinks the fellow should be bumped off the forum!

Last year I changed my SPV-M600 to a Touch Diamond. The M600 has since been demoted to the cluttered up bottom drawer of my bedside cabinet. Ive realised that in all probability I will never ever use it again so I would like to donate it to a good cause.
Ive taken huge amounts of knowledge away from this website and downloaded countless free apps, so I figured I would hand something back, ie, my old phone. I would like to think that this device, whilst not exactly cutting edge, might find a new home with a developer or some such person for testing new apps, etc, but also someone who puts a lot of effort into helping us on this site. The device is bog standard as I got it from Orange, and has WM5 installed. Its got a tiny dint on the screen but still fully functional (Got the box, instructions, charger, etc, but theyre prob not that much use).
I havent really thought it out fully, but firstly, does anyone think this might be useful to someone, and if so who ? I was thinking maybe the mods could nominate someone ?
I know its not like im giving the crown jewels away or anything but I just want it to be useful and not flogged on by some wide boy for a couple of quid/euros.
(ps...I will also pay reasonable postage costs)
Blimey ..... 49 views and not a single nomination. Is this phone really that bad ?
Did I mention it was FREE to a good home ?
and if someone volunteers for giving it a good new home himself?
If you really want to give it away, i would love to receive it =0)
But im the first one to nominate myself and have more posts (70 as compared to your 3) and joined the forum 1 month earlier
so its mine
lol, just let him decide^^
and i don't understand the point of your posts sorry^^
it's just that my xda neo broke some days ago so this one would be really cool =)

G00d evening
i want to start cooking.....
im in birmingham so just down the road...had a m700....great tool.....would like to learn to cook with the m600
if you have paypal ill pay for postage.....its the least i could do
all the best
Liam
Its fine if you want to nominate yourself chaps, however I did say that I would like to see it go to someone who would put it to good use, such as a developer.
Liamhere is both a mod, meaning he puts his own time into this site, and has expressed a desire to use it as a development tool.
Liamhere its yours, if you still want it. Will pm you and arrange postage. Won't be till next week though.
many thanks mate
will contact you via pm.
As said, I'm expecting my HD2 tomorrrow and was just going to leave it boxed and sell it to buy a Nokia N900, however.......
The more i read, the more I'm intrigued!
What would you suggest are absolute essentials to get the best out of the phone? I gather all windows mobile apps are downloadable and able to put on the phone?
How about unlocking, easy enough? (Will be coming on O2 UK)
What's your top 5 things to do?
I'm coming from from the Iphone side, and have been jailbreaking etc for quite a while!
First I would just take your time getting to know the phone and to work with it. Read the manual end to end (you would be surprised how many people don't, then come on here asking where the On/Off switch is!!).
Once you have played around with it for a week at your leisure then start to read the threads on here. Start with this one.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638 which gives you some useful hint that you could try.
Next search around for similar threads to yours on here which have asked exactly the same questions as you have and see what the responses are. Searching on XDA is a bit hit and miss so use this...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all to help you.
You will always get help if you let people know what you have done to help yourself first, what searches you have done , before you post a new thread.
This device is quite different to an iphone so DO take your time getting used to it. The beauty of winmobile is that you can change almost anything on it you don't like. Also the device is more akin to a mini laptop than a phone so bear that in mind.
Finally you may find this of interest...http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
Appstores don't exist in the windows world; however there are thousands of apps out there, a lot of them free and a lot here on XDA (make a contribution to the developers if you use anything on here although you are not obliged to do so).
Good luck with your device; enjoy and welcome aboard!
WB
What a warm welcome and fantasic reply WB, thank you
I don't want to get infractions by talking about things i shouldn't be (i.e. cracked apps etc) but I'm assuming that should a user wish to go down that route then it's perfectly possible?!
I guess I might have a play with it when i get it, see whats what!
It is a beast of a monster though!
Absolutely NO talk of cracked apps or warez is allowed here. Quickest way to get your backend kicked.
There are enough bona fide free apps out there to do what you want. Besides warez is a kick in the teeth of hard working developers on here.
If you need any further info, just shout.

Dear Eris Users who Are Waiting for Root,
I'd like to start by addressing all of you as a large audience. I may ask certain groups to leave. I hope they will respect that wish and then come back and join the larger group when I am done with each piece.
We all got the Droid Eris from Verizon. We all got it for different reasons. A lot of you, if not all of you, are here because you wanted an HTC phone that was rooted. You wanted the custom roms, the themes, the su privileges. This shining aura that was "root" was so appealing, that you took a plunge and bought the device before any work was really done on that. Now, some of you feel that you should receive, neigh, deserve root. I am so saddened by what this community, Eris users, not XDA, has turned into. The disbelievers, the demanders; what are you still doing here, complaining? Just leave if you have something mean to say.
To everyone: I'm a firm believer in the idea that if you don't have something important, information wise/helpful, to say on the forum, then don't post at all. I try to keep my fingers off the keyboard, and I have for a long time, but I cannot hold my silence. I used to post every day. I used to be excited to get onto XDA and see if something new had happened while I was away. When we got our own section of the forum, I was overjoyed! (Not really, but we needed a section) We had a pristine new subforum to play around in, and we trashed it. Our original root thread had to be closed because of how off topic and ridiculous it was. Our new thread has gone to crap and turned more into a flame war, than a place where we are looking for exploits and posting findings. Sadly, I wouldn't blame XDA for shutting that one down too. We, as a whole, have alienated developers and are now in danger of not getting root for a number of reasons.
No one deserves root, just like no one deserves $20 from a random stranger. Sure, it'd be nice to get it, but no one deserves it. We should all be thankful for the man hours that people have put in, for no money, to try and give us $20 a piece... I mean root this thing. Seriously, it's a community, not a business. Also, those who feel like it's not worth it to wait around, just leave. Don't make an exit if you're sitting around and not helping but you feel the need to announce that you are fed up, or tired of it. Root will come eventually. There has yet to be an android phone that hasn't been hacked, and we will not be the first one.
Lastly, I'm tired of the "HTC NEEDS to release the source code because it's our right to have it" argument. Sure, the source would help, but the iPhone has been hacked again and again and again with no source code. It comes down to good developers, and a thankful community. So, please stop riding that bandwagon. The source code will get here eventually, but you have to be patient.
To those of you who have been helpful: Thank you. To anyone who tried an exploit and posted findings, thank you. To anyone who compiled an exploit, who dumped their phone, who offered help, incite, or even a "keep it up", thank you. That's what a good hacking community does.
To Jmanly, Binny, Zifnab, rigamrts and others: Thank you for everything you've done to help us out. You are all a tribute to being a good forum member. We would not even be a fraction of where we are without Jmanly's guidance and it was sad to see him leave.
Where to go from here: I think we need to restart. Create a new thread where no negative talk will occur, people will only post things that help move us forward and people post their thanks to those who are doing all of us a favor. None of us deserve root. It's not owed to us because we got the phone. We should all be thankful for what some people with the know-how are doing for us. That should be all I have to say. I hope we can change a little bit for the better and maybe we can get back to trying to root.

Well said!
This is well put.
I can never quite understand the flaming or negative stuff.
I learned when I started out in WinMo Xperia Threads that people hassling or acting "Entitled" while you are working hard on a Mod or Rom or anything can be quite disheartening.
If it can be agreed upon, I would like to open a new thread, for root status and updates. (hopefully for the last time)
Or I can just add it to the bounty thread that is already open (I know and understand that most of us do this for the love of hacking and modding and out of a sense of community, but it is also a nice gesture and could really help someone that devotes time and effort to this)???
I would monitor it constantly and report any flaming and abuse to one of our great moderators immediatley.
What do you think?
here's how i felt when i first got my eris.
i was like great now i can see what's up and possibly help get root for the new addopters cause i did not get my g1 durring the first run. i missed out on the fun times of all the posts of people trying to hack the phone.
so when i first landed in the eris waters it was great the late night whiteboard sessions were fun throwing any idea no matter how idiotic it sounded and going to town. then we had our first 2 casualties jman and me cause some one took it apon himself to attack a guy who didn't even have our phone and was willing to help.
then we had today where that same person took it on himself to flame another dev the same way. now the 7 day ban might calm him down or send the message not to come back. but i thought it sould have been a perma-ban cause of past actions plus the disrespecting of a mod which is a no no. that mod i respect cause he acted profesionally and gave the community hope that this type of behavior will not be tollorated.
hopefully if things keep going in a positive direction i might jump back into fold but feel very heartbroken cause of the few bad apples.
Awesome post
as acid said, very well put.
i too never understood why not just in the "eris" section but yet in any section people have demanded such items to be released.
I agree with rigamrts, I have watched this board with aw in some of the things people have said to one another. If I had root to this phone I would P.M. the members I wanted to have it just to keep out the ones that act childish. But then wouldn't I be just as childish? So I would just stop, Do my own thing, and wait as a few of the people here have done. People with no interest in this device have nothing to lose by leaving besides maybe hearing their friend saying "come on man, come back. We won't let that happen again." Its a shame this happened in our community but as with the physical community I live in there are jerks. People that you wish would leave on their own accord but stick around with T.P. stuck to their shoes looking like idiots. Anyways, thanks for the help, keep working, and feel free to leave if things get retarded again. I would do the same.
I think it would be cool if everyone who was interested in CONTRIBUTING to the root, whether that be via coding, finding exploits, packing these things/making user friendly tutorials, could form, basically, a Dev team. They/we could have a blog, a place where they/we can get together and chat amongst ourselves about ideas and whatever. Hopefully, then, we could have a more concrete group of people WORKING TOGETHER to achieve this one goal.
If any of the people working on root are down for it, let's make it happen. Cool? Cool. Cool? Cool.

i could create a bolg on one of my unused email account
I think that moving the thread to the new one should work..
We have a couple of moderators all over this now..
And I can update everyday
I need you guys to update me on what to put im the 1st post so that we can get back on track
I think the blog is a great idea but the thing is we also need to keep the discussion here at XDA, the place that originally got us together. If we don't keep the support here we won't have a well known place to meet new Eris users that could potentially help. We can't do that because of one bad apple, this Is our meeting place and we need to show XDA the respect by continuing to trust their mods to do their jobs. Ya that guy should have been permanently banned but he wasn't so let's not punish XDA for that decision. My two pennies.
I agree that we need to hang out at XDA, but I also feel that we could move to somewhere where we can bounce around ideas without people hijacking threads or starting flame wars. I'm not trying to keep people in the dark, I just want to try a different place. Oh, and I'd like some people who know what they're doing to sign on. I'm just a visionary, I can't code. Haha
Ok guys here is the deal after what happend today I am a little upset I spend hours each day searching the web for exploits, why... to help. Here is what I may do, I might buy some webspace and set up a area for us to work together on. I am going to see if Jman will will join us, this is just a idea for right now. I will let you guys know when I clear my head.
Aren't there free blogs? Let's not throw money at this quite yet.
Oh, and I'm sorry you got upset with some people and also that I haven't been here in, well, a month or more. I thought the community was going stagnate. I'm here to stay and, like you, I'll be scrounging for exploits and doing my best to help those with the know-how by doing the leg work if they do the real work.
Free yes but I would like some were were we can upload files to and what not. Just a idea for right now.
Clear ur head man...take care
When ya come back.head over to the new no flaming thread

Well I have the pro programs for Mac and Windows to make killer video tuts, so once we have this thing rooted, I can get that out of the way.
Oh and I can host web space for you too on my server, I just don't have any domains to run the site on. You could use your ways to get a domain. (Try shorturl.com that's what I use for most of my websites.)

Oh and I can host web space for you too on my server, I just don't have any domains to run the site on. You could use your ways to get a domain. (Try shorturl.com that's what I use for most of my websites.)

Good Stuff Cookie...
Come over to the new thread an help us out
Its in my sig...
No one deserves root, just like no one deserves $20 from a random stranger. Sure, it'd be nice to get it, but no one deserves it. We should all be thankful for the man hours that people have put in, for no money, to try and give us $20 a piece... I mean root this thing. Seriously, it's a community, not a business.

Video I can agree where you are comming from, it does suck the fun out of the puzzle of rooting the device with all the flaming and demanding. But on the other side where I am, I am not a programmer or a linux genius. So we almost feel like leechers taking your work with out compensation for it. So the Pool for the dev that roots the Eris is our attempt to do our part in the give take relationship we have in this community.
Sure I could spend hours and hours and hope to get where you guys are or I can offer my monitary thanks for all your work.
I am not trying to point this thread in the wrong direction and I don't want to see a bunch of "I agree" replies. Just want to convey our side, the noobs and amatures that can't do the things that you do.
I am waiting patiently and if there is anything we the non-dev's can do let us know.

I have my own web server that we can use. Let me know if you want to set something up.
would a google wave account work i have invites?
Id like to politely ask all members not to flame posts. Could we possibly get the devs to stay in this forum and work together to make the best roms possible for this phone. We have vry talented devs who do fantastic work, but with all the conflict and fighting lately, i think its forgotten that google shares with everyone to further the advancement of this os. If all the devs looked at this with googles perspective, there would be no fightin. You guys all do great work, lets keep it all at xda. Ive visited several of these new forums, all i hear are crickets. Xda gives devs a place to post their work and get good feedback. With all good comes the bad, unfortunatly any idiot can own a phone and a pc. Those idiots make things difficult, but it should be left up to the mods to revoke flamers abilities to post. Ive been a member longer than most everyone reading this post by 2 years, ive used 3 phones on xda and seen good devs come and go. Im a 42 yr old father of 2, i have to put up with immature crap all the time with my kids. Can everyone, including myself, just suck it up, act mature, and continue to make this the best android forum of all the phones? Thank you for reading. Peace.

i pretty much agree donny, but i mean at the same time, if these devs wanna get all pissed off and not take the higher road, then let them leave. those forums will have maybe 20 members, and their work will reach ONLY those 20 members. at XDA, it could reach the world, plain and simple. it's up to them where they want to host their work, and it's up to them whether or not they want to be private, public, or take the "i'm taking my ball and going home" road.
I agree.. these people that basically go in these guys threads and proceed to blow them to try and get them to stay is just pumping their head up more. It seems like this has turned into some sort of competition rather than a place to share and develop for our phones. I appreciate all the work the devs do but my life won't be over if some of them stopped doing what they do. If devs stay or leave its really not that hard to take 5 min and register for another website and add another bookmark. If you like someone's work follow them and if you don't like their work let them leave. It's pretty simple. Act like adults and stop crying over people making decisions about THEIR work.

Glad to see things have settled back down here. Nice to see most devs back, now if only the flamers can stay out of threads, id be perfect. Thanks everyone for making this place cool again.

Dev's Rock!
I really do appreciate all the hard work all the Dev's have put into this. I would never flame or tell any of them that their work sucked, ever! They have made this phone an absolute joy to own and mess with in my spare time.
Thanks to all the Dev's for all their hard work.

If there was a serious issue here at XDA then it could be valid to get pissy, but not for the reasons they are.
Ah well, things move on. I noticed SR4.3 has a much smaller following over at his forum and I haven't bothered to check any other developers who left but I'd imagine it's the same.
There is a lot of development going on and a lot of ROM's so maybe they want to stand out a little more by trying to drag users over to their forum? I don't really get why so I think it's more ego based, then again that's part of the reason why many continue customizing and updating their ROM's.
So apparently XDA has all these problems?
