WARNING: Beware of pdaviet WM6 rom!!!

Hi all,
as most of you probably knows, today an alleged new WM6 rom from PDAVIET has been released.
Far from being 'new', this rom is nothing other than a copy of the leeked WM6 rom we all know plus a lot of 3rd party tools ripped off, without asking permission, from Faria's Aku3.3 rom. An evidence is in the image posted below, it has been found inside PDAVIET's rom but, if you look at the logo, you'll see Faria's name. This is only one of the many evidences i can give you.
Moreover, this rom includes many bugs and inconsistencies due to the indiscriminate mixing of WM5 and WM6 files.
That said, having long discussed the problem with Faria, we've decided to post this message to warn you against this rom and to make clear the following points:
1 - Faria is NOT involved in any way with this rom, the guys who prepared it or the site which originated it. Similarly, he is not involved with any of the WM6 roms you may find in this or other forums/blogs/warez sites.
The presence of documents and images containing Faria's name inside pdaviet's WM6 rom is due to the fact they "borrowed" some 3rd party software made or arranged by Faria himself. This doesn't imply any involment of Faria in the WM6 rom developing/publishing.
2 - The same can be said for all the other developers in this forum: Bepe, Molski, me and others. We are not in any way to be connected to any of the leeked wm6 roms out there.
3 - We, faria and me, strongly advise you against the use of pdaviet rom in your devices. By copying Faria's work and mixing WM5-only with WM6 files without even realizing what they were doing, pdaviet guys have proved all their incompetence in rom developing/cooking. That said, Faria DECLINES every responsibility for every problem you may experience by using his tools inside pdaviet's rom.
4 - Considering the irresponsible and illecit use of his work, Faria decided to stop developing/fixing applications for use in WM6 roms. For this reason, he won't publish anymore programs, fixes or workarounds for any problem/issue concerning any WM6 rom. The development will restart when and whether Microsoft will allow us to post WM6 roms in this forum.
Hoping for newer and better WM6 roms (and for MS's permission to use them ) we want to express you our best regards!!!
Bye bye

Well, I posted immediately upon trying their first attempt it was a botched job from the get go. Sad to hear that Faria is stearing clear of WM6 support but I can't blame him. He doesn't "need" us for anything. He's been doing an awesome job just helping us get up to speed where he already is.
Thanks for all of your help so far Faria. It is much appreciated and you've been very helpful. We will be anxiously waiting for a WM6 release from you and the rest of the gang.
-Mc

Ill wait too for your release of a rom

That will be a long wait probably never because they will only release the ROM when this condition is met:
"The development will restart when and whether Microsoft will allow us to post WM6 roms in this forum."
It's very unlikely MS will allow it

Ill still use the the leaked wm6 rom but will wait for a cooked rom from faria or
the other develepers in this forum that have done good roms.

PDAViet
I'd like to add that the reason to stay away from PDAViet's WM6 ROM is due to moral and ethical reasons of how they used Faria's work.
The actual ROM is considerably faster than the clean WM6 ROM. You need to change a registry key once installed to fix keyboard layout for english users.
It's a shame they released the ROM in such a devious way. If it didn't have Faria's work it would be worthwhile to install until such time as a better WM6 ROM comes along. It's definitely much more useable than the clean WM6 ROM which was doggy slow.
Also, I haven't noticed any additional bugs or inconsistencies other than the clean WM6 ROM.

look people..you can use any ROM you come across,that does not bother us,we got rules in the forum,and so we will obey by them.the xda has given me allot and i for one will only release ROM in here.i owe to the xda.of course that Microsoft will not say "yes u can release" a ROM that is not even in the market,but things will cool down.Microsoft asked us to remove the Roms from the ftp,and they did very politely.now should the site be shut down or sued because we want something that is not even in the market?
just give it a Little more time thats all we ask.

Good Job

After installing and using the 3.3 ROM that you had a hand in cooking I will gladly wait til you can oficially/legally release a cooked WM6 ROM. I agree that it was wrong for PDAVIET to use your work without permission so therefore I would not use that ROM. I understand the time that you put into something just to have it abused. I have learned alot just by reading all these posts and searching through the forums. I have been a member for over a year and really dont post unless its something that I definetely need help with. I would rather find it on my own and understand what Im doing rather than just install something and be completely dumb to what I just installed. Thank you all who are willing to help us and explain.

Makes perfect sence not too rock the boat when theres still so much live in the NEW 3.3 rom you only released this week

I actually was going to download the ROM yesterday and came accross the same views. There are other files in their forum that originate from here.
My view is that if you know of a tool that can help your viewers, explain the tool and link it to the thread that you found the tool at. They did not do that. I do not read Vietnamese but some of the apps I saw there were just blatantly stolen from here.
@FARIA: I truely agree with you when you say that Microsoft has been real good with their attitude with Mobile ROMS. I love their attitude where they have actually been very cool with leaving developers and phone companies develop/change the ROMs according to needs. I truely believe and respect Microsoft for them asking the ROMs to be taken off the FTP and doing it politely. Like I said on my other post, Microsoft attitude has changed for the better and I Love it !
@ Faria, Molski,bepe, risidoro and others :
-----------------------------------------
You guys have been great. Your solutions have truely helped me understand the WM. Without you guy's help, my learning curve would have been way higher. Keep on Keeping on Guys! Any help in reasearching or other you might need, please feel free to contact me.

dont use PDAVIET
i will not use PDAVIET WM6 roms!!
@faria - thanks for everything sir. i will patiently wait for the right time until your ROM arrives. more power

Didn't Faria just rip the HTC X-Button app off and put his name in it?
The 2 programs are EXACTLY alike.

lol not to start suttim but yea gldrush would seem so

Put it this way. All of the cooked ROM are ripped off one way or another because MS never released it to the public. Even the HCT camera app is from HTC. In the mod screen which Faria put his signature you will see below it is "copy right 2000 - 2006" by HTC
I don't understand why some of the Posters in here are taking the "moral" high ground and declare that they won't use PDAVIET ROM, they despite it, etc...
The ROM runs great. The included apps are freeware. The camera app, copyright by HTC but extracted by Faria is posted in this forum and available to any Joe. I don't really care who cooked the ROM. As long as it run fast and good, I will use it. The most important thing for me is a good ROM not who did the cooking.

is the keyboard issue fixed?.. and what about these issues with wm5 files have u noticed them? hows this rom running for u.

Marketing study for cooked ROMs!
HI Tito! i find this thread extremely useful and informative, good idea! It would be even more interesting if cookers would disclose the number of downloads of their ROMs. This is important for everybody as a sort of "marketing study" to understand what the other members are looking for. I was very surprised in noticing that there are less than 0.2 posts per download, and most of the users just silently download the ROM and happily use it! Only when you have issues and/or specific requests - then posts shows up
For example, in my ROM we have achieved 1398 downloads up to now.
Another interesting "marketing" consideration: first users (the techno geeks alias "early adopters" ) downloaded almost only from rapidshare, but when roms stabilize it is mediashare which is mainly used (the early adopter testing validates the ROM for "real users" ) ! i am sure this is correlated with the different use of the PDA.

Sorry Tito, but my last Rom it's called Dark Red and no Dark Blue, I've changed it, how probably I make a new version!

Oh, thanks for the tip, but can you PM me when ever you guys have a change? I don't want this to be error reporting, I want people to post their feedback if they have any , like pzuccel did .
Thanks,
Tito

BUMP . Hey people I want your feedback.

Hi,
I am brand new to the ppc and flashing scene.
I read a lot of articles about flashing cooked roms and their pros. Unfortunately I don't have that much time at the moment but I'd better like to flash my HD now rather than later so that I don't need to backup so much data.
I'll have enough time to tweak it a bit and change some registry stuff, installing programms etc but not for flashing it every two weeks.
So I ask you what ROM should I use? Should I go for an official ROM? I would use Duddys or Laurentius if they are really stable. Duddys seems to be great but I fear that I have a lmost no time to care for bugs.
Are there any bugs in Duddys? Which ond would you recommend me to use?

There are bugs in almost everything. Nothing es perfect . Its all up to you, but this isn't the place to post this , a PM would have been better. Check out the blackstone list in my sig. It has more ROMs listed(well its updated, I cant seem to update this poll. . . .). Its all up to what you like and need.

I don't think the poll is turning out quite fair because the multi roms are getting votes from all languages so of course they will get a more weighted response. Maybe there should be a WWE category for each rom that is multi. Then you could compare like votes.

But thats only part of a rom, most people will go for a wwe rom and put in a different language, they probably voted for it because they like what the cook put inside his ROM(not just a language).

I am currently using one of the multi ROMs, so I agree that many people like them, including me. I have a statistical background so I couldn't help but open my mouth Anyway, it is all in fun and doesn't have to be statistically perfect

I vote for R3D Dark Red, it's really fast and stable, i've no problems with any application, great work my friend Roby

Voted for Dutty ... Kudos to him for giving us these wonderful roms

ROM Cookers unite!....:) well can they?

Hi Guys,
Been on the forums for a while now since getting my X1. Like most X1 users I am eagerly awaiting the next exciting cooked rom to be released.
There a lot of clever guys on here (itje...jackleung...Daren...Bxsteez...the list goes on...) and credit to them all for what they do Top Guys!
Just a thought... but wouldnt it make more sense for all the Rom cooking guys to get together and maybe work on a few 'ultimate roms'. Maybe even just seperate cabs that work with a particular rom?
Maybe its forbidden taboo? and its something that ya just dont do... But I'd just thought I'd ask if its a possibility?
Just seems that all the guys are working so hard to all end up doing the same thing! where as if if they where all working together...the end results may just be awesome....
I'll apologise now if a topic like this has already been mentioned (I didnt see one).
Once again, Credits to the Cookers out there. I wish I had your knowledge
Kind Regards,
King
Long Live the X1....lol

many cooks do work together, perhaps not visible, but through pm and other media.
But releasing roms that we all cook on would take alot of coordination..
all cant cook in the same kitchen, that could get messy .
Its not that we dont want to, its just not practical. And adding to that we are like all other artists..we like to be special...hahahahah
seriously...duh...ehhhh...damn those beers...haha

perfectly suitable adjective for this
Too many cooks spoil the broth..
Isn't it better to have a menu with different tastes on it?

i couldnt agree more...
and like itje, we are a special, but in what we like to have in a ROM.

I'm gonna have to agree with itje. I couldn't have made any of my roms without the help of itje's kitchen and everyone's help across the forum.
Although i think there might be something there.. All get together and make base rom nothing special nothing unique just the best xperia lite rom we could make and then kinda branch off from there... Might be kinda impratical for us to be able to get that done. I dunno. I must say it does make me think...

Hey guys,
I understand what ya saying. Thanks for listening anyway. Keep up the good work. Your a credit to us all... Including the moderators.... and yes your all Special! Am special too... in ward 10. I have nice white padded walls
Kind Regards,
King

Like what itje said already, we did communicate and helping each other publicly or privately. And I am very open on what I found and did on my roms.
Like food (and many different thing), there is no BEST, or ULTIMATE on rom.
Different cook has different taste and cooking style, and different consumer had different preference to suit his need in many different area such as functionality vs. size (Lite vs. full), speed vs. stability, language (WWE, German, Chinese, ....etc).
Therefore, it's simply impossible/impractical to have one(or a few) ROM that suit everybody.

It's very hard to define and agreed on "best lite rom".
For example, my V2 lite has about 382mb free storage. Is it the litest you can get? No, because I can make it even liter by removing MS Live, Office ...etc. But then some people may complaint missing this or missing that (e.g. ringtones).
It just uneasy to draw the line and agreed on any standard.

Yea that is true..... The way i originally had my lite rom was completely stripped of every thing but everyone was saying they wanted more crap thrown in............. never ending stuggle i guess. Maybe we can crack open the xperia and put high density drop in replace RAM chip

i would like to flash my own rom but where can download newest rom and oem package.

The first thing you should learn for rom cooking is read and search. Everything you need is in this forum already.

Is this the spirit of xda?

I think you know where it's all about:
Rom bribe-gate!
I think theres something on here that must not see daylight:
Theres a guy named RUFFRUFF who claimes to be bribed by someone to not share the roms of the td2 and the tp2.
And theres someone who deletes all posts from everyone who share those roms, and someone whos deleting the evidence that someone gets bribed.
There must be a mod who's knwing from this and deletes all threads(no-one can do that but a mod)
And I and many with me have a clue:
This is a post from me in another thread:
Yes i noticed it too: it seems like the guy Ruffruff is bribed by someone.
And dutty is the only one with this roms right now... pretty strange that its dutty who's deleting all the other posts here with those roms...
And check this:
this i found in the thank you part on dutty rom page:
As always I want to just say thanks to XDA-Developers and everyone who has contributed my whole existing of start making ROMS. Thanks goes to as follows;
Almighty God for letting me live to see a new morning when I wake up.

For me this a a hard fact as we can see in the google cache///
Please mods do something about this crap!!
The first time i was getting on xda there was a "share all, conquer all mentality".
I left a year ago with the complaint that every cook closes up their roms so noone can dump it, and asks much money with it.
Now i come back and someguy is paying gusy for not share the roms so he's benefitting from it... Strange behaviour that hurt me in my xda heart!
Do something about it, and ban the guys who **** our community up!

U asked for evidences. Arent the evidences enough you SEE ON FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD ? yes DUTTY deletes posts where roms are shared. WHAT OTHER EVIDENCE YOU WANT ?

Knowledge has value only when shared.

amazing ...
what the hell Oo is going on??
Iss that True ?!

NOW Old spirit of xda (sharing fol all people) is dead!
PLEASE GO BACK!

That is strange indeed.
,,,, I thought the XDA community was built on sharing, This should be discouraged heartily

sadness and delusion !
no words

This topic is getting really interesting by the hour...

Easy, easy....
Sharing isn't dead, may be is sleeping in someone, but 99% of the members ARE sharing knowledge here.
Mods are evaluating the facts and if it will be possible (and if something was accidentally deleted) things will be restored but the main words are easy, calm down.
Even MODs are people (unbelievable uh?) we have jobs, families to feed, some funny activities apart from XDA DEVs activities, and we need some time to evaluate the facts, discuss and share ideas when something big happened.
Believe me, the strongest feeling in our group is KNOWLEDGE SHARING, together with BUILDING A NICE PLACE TO STAY.
Give us some time, enjoy what you have here we are here to improve and help this unique place!

... and it'll lead nowhere but to the bashing of others. Tempaorarily closing down the thread to prevent any further misassumptions that we're not sure of.

Admins / Mods: Can we know the status of the ROMs from the chefs...

Hello Admins / Mods,
I opend this thread to see if we can get an update on the situation that has been going on for the past 24 hours with regard to the sharing issue. Many of the chefs have decided to discontinue their ROM development work due to this.
Myself along with a lot of other HD users (I hope) are very eager to know when things would get back to normal. I kept visiting this section frequently to see if there is any new information on this situation, but unfortunately there isn't any.
So, please let us know if ROM development for Blackstone is going to continue or did the cooks really leave XDA. If they did leave as they have mentioned, it a huge loss to this community and I think the Admins and the Mods must do what ever it takes to convinience them to share their work within XDA.
Due to the action of a few individuals... this great community should not suffer.
Please let us know the status.
Davideuck / kwbr / Laurentius26 / HelloNasty / pzucchel / robertus3d / texture / panosha / pzucchel / duttythroy (sorry if I missed someone) - You are all a GREAT asset to this community and we love your work and you are the reason we love our devices even more.
Please resolve your differences and I hope things get back to being normal and exiting.

i am a 100% with you!

Firstly, I am sympathetic with the rest of the staff, but I will not stop, I like to do
Roms, investigate, but never stop!
Because I like!! Never received any donation in blackstone! But life continues ... Spend large hours a day!!!
Thanks to everyone who like my job!

Im a mod on a car site based in the UK. We had a situation where a member was ripping off other members via our 'for sale' section. We investigated and kept our member informed. It doesnt take much and im disappointed it hasn't happened here.
Frankly if this site doesn't respond very soon, in a satisfactory way (I.E not in an aggressive or arrogant way), then its not the sort of place i want to be. It will certainly reflect badly on the WM community, it may make me regret my decision to move over from Symbian. Indeed the quality of the community often guides my choices in automotive and AV.
Im not saying the cookers owe us anything (im happy with my ROM) and i support them if they have been wronged, but after investing money in my Blackstone id like to know my options.

I'm one of "Autocensored" cookers and only thing I can say is:
Yesterday someone paid a user to avoid sharing of new topaz rom... for this me, DavideUck, Infido and others had protested stopping our development until the sharing priority will be guarantee...
EDIT: I forgot to say that Mods are hepling us to much to understand what's happened and really soon the truth will overcome

Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.

I'm sure it will get back to normal pretty soon.....

Personally I am very greatly to all cooks and mods for there hard work and I always donate to the cook of which ROM I choose.
It will be a sad day to lose any cooks due to these unfortunate circumstances.
I look forward to everything going back to normal, and hopefully people will learn that this site is for the cummnity!!!

This clearly is a most unfortunate situation and I can understand how many of the cooks, mods and members alike are becoming upset. This said, can I appeal to those same people not to bring this bad feeling into the rom threads themselves. Despite the mods repeatedly saying they will sort out the situation as quickly as possible, certain people continue to bombard the threads with aggressive accusations which cannot serve any purpose. I myself was accused of taking back handers last night because I tried to get the thread back on topic! I mean really! I wouldn't mind but I've not seen a penny
The rom threads should be for help and bug reports and that alone! Threads such as this one are the perfect opportunity to raise other issues.
The saddest thing about this is some of the cooks who are upset are inadvertently doing what they are accusing others of in not sharing, by discontinuing their work here.
In the year I've been a member here, I've downloaded and enjoyed numerous roms from many of the cooks here and I've enjoyed being part of a great community. It breaks my heart to see that same community crumbling before my eyes
C'mon guys, can we not try to work through this like the adults we are and get back to being the best god damn HTC forum on the planet?

Who has the right to demand on this community? This scenario seems so imature and childish.
Chiefs leave/move on, new ones will start thats how it goes, lets not let them hold XDA to ransom.
Surely we don't need martyrs on XDA?

Well here's something to make you all smile
The same member who last night accused me of being somehow involved in making money

All joking aside, this is what I was talking about though. People are getting carried away now and it's starting to get in the way of people genuinely seeking help. Can I perhaps suggest to a politely worded PM sent out to all members, asking for a little patience and consideration at this time?

Can someone explain what is all this sharing issue all about?
I read many threads, but didn't understand the root of this matter.

Ok, here is the story...
Dutty's V1.8 ROM was from the new HTC ROM from (Dimond2 or Touch Pro2). Other chefs were hoping that he would dump that ROM. But, Dutty said that he was not going to share this new HTC ROM (Topaz) since he promised his source that he would not.
After couple of days, a few chefs were suppose to come out with their next ROM versions with this Topaz ROM build. But then, suddenly, who ever was suppose to sare this ROM with these chefs, told them in PM that some one Paid him money not to share this new Topaz with the XDA chefs. So he decided not to.
Now the chefs who were waiting for this ROM dump, got really pissed and decided not to share their own work within XDA until the admins and the Mods of XDA make it clear that sharing made the core principle within the XDA community.
Facts:
- Dutty was the one only one who had this new HTC ROM and he decided not to share it with anyone else for his own reasons as he explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=484867
- Someone "claims" got paid by someone else not to sare the new ROM with the chefs within XDA as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3373252&postcount=1842
- Most of the Blackstone chefs decided to Discontinue their curren work and/or leave the XDA community until stuff is shared by everyone here for the benifit of the community.
Peace OUT!

After reading this, another possibility is that Dutty too was payed not to share...
And maybe he is not the one who paid?
