Wizard Roms Are Still Available

Some ROMS that were on the FTP before are available on BitTorrent, Azureus, eDonkey or any other P2P Torrent client.
A search for the original posted name of the file in a Torrent tracking site will probably do in most cases.
Beneath you will find a list of ROMs that have been found available through searching on PirateBay:

Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102
Remember you help the community by leaving the files in your shared folders as long as possible.
Rom distribution is decentralize from XDA.
XDA Cannot and will not host Material on it's servers that is not allowed.
Which basicly means that the people that own or pay for the rights of use to the Domain, webserver and FTP server, thus supplying us the users with these forums, have nothing to do with the distribution of illegal roms.
I will take a looksee, to see if i find other Roms. Any help in this is apreciated off course.
And i will update the list accordingly.
What do you people think of updating the Wiki to explain what the names of these ROMs represent?

Thats good Noonski that you are taking initiative...Dunno if this will be acceptable though or whether M$ will force xda not to even talk about torrents having ROMs (seems unlikely).Anyways, if this is allowed, I'm willing to pitch in to reseed and also seed the ones I already have with me.
But one thing, though choosing one particular site like demonoid might be a good idea in the sense of having a central repository of all ROM torrents but it has its drawback in not giving access to everyone since its a private tracker. Moreover, since you propose the next release of a rom to be closed, this raises 2 questions:
1. Ppl who are not demonoid subscribers can't get em. Is there going to be any invite system in place for demonoid?
2. even with the invite system how will one determine who gets the invite and who doesnt?

I am happy with my ROM collection and honestly this doesnt impact me at all. If I want a WM6 device, i will just buy it.

demonoid is good, i second that, and as for invites, i think i can give out some, we need to start by making a list, lets say by the number of posts, lol i will wont be getting invites since i have been more of a reader than a replier. anyways, but we need to think outside the box, we cant just cave in.
lets see,
our options are:
1. private ftp, maybe ce4arab.com will allow us to use thiers
2. torrents
3. irc
4. newsgroups, hate them since never got how to use them
5. files upload websites
6. gmail, or yahoo spaces
any more?
it has to be done, we need to do this, we will do it.
cheers

I think torrents are a great way to go. I prefer Pirate Bay since registration is closed at Demonoid it is harder to get many new users using for these purposes. If there are existing torrents pm me and I will be happy to seed as well.

I would love to help out by seeding. I have a T1, not a ton of bandwidth but plenty good to get these pushed out. If someone has something they want me to seed, let me know.

I would also be in favor of setting up a private FTP for those who have something to contribute. If it is not in the public eye then we shouldn't have a problem right. I have been using these ROMS for a while now and would love to help out. I have plenty of hard drive space for it, and a Dual Processor server on my T1.
Send me email if you wanna get something done. Perhaps we need a mini private forum outside of the public eye also, just a thought.

cease-and-desist letter from Microsoft....
While the idea is nice, I think It'll only help get Demonoid get a cease-and-desist letter from Microsoft....
Think you better upload them to newsgroups, like a.b.warez.pocketpc or something.....

I just feeling around a bit. Wading the water.
1. Demonoid has an invite system in place allready.
I have just posted the torrents also on a PirateBay tracker.
And BTW the torrent on demonoid should be open to everyone unless i F^cked up again
2. You are right about deciding who's in or out.
I myself would only invite if i knew that either the user nows what he wants. I could see some of his posts for instance.
It's why having a discussion is a good thing. What do people think is smart. What do the Cooks want.
Do they want the roms to be totally available for everyone including users that should not be playing around with Roms but do add to the attention XDA gets?
As for me i don't care where i post the Roms. It's just that for most of my other torrents i'm a Demonoid user. I'll post them anywhere and seed them anyhow. As long as i don't get them from XDA directly it's none of their biz is it?

The three faria roms are available on PirateBay all people now need to do to help out is keep the seeds alive.
Maybe i should reconsider changing my nick there.

if anyone can please seed the PDAviet4 installer that would be GREAT!!! I have been wanting to try it out for a long time now, and i've searched every torrent site i know of and nothing comes up. I myself am helping out with the faria roms. If anyone can please message me with a means of a way to get it, that would be GREAT!
Thank you.

I'd definitely like to see postings of new releases to newsgroups as this is the fastest way to obtain anything that's recent.

I myself have a few roms to share :
buttons 1.05
molski (several)
faria V2 8mb
pdaviet3 / 4
orwells
underground
tmobile 2.26
maybe others...
but I dunno how to post to newsgroups or else
If s/o can explain, i'll be glad to help there

AKU3.2-1.0RC1 Wizard Rom
Yes the thread has been updated.
the
AKU3.2-1.0RC1 Wizard Rom
can now also be found on Pirate Bay.
I want to thank those people that are now reseeding the Faria roms.
I have never stated and will never state that I am the person that uploads these Roms.
Shame that not enough people have picked up on this thread or sollution.

xdaminis-update_22413_2214106_021911GER
Hey it is just getting better.
Don't ask me exactly which rom this is maybe someone can enlighten me?
xdaminis-update_22413_2214106_021911GER
Also available somewhere on the fast planes of the Net.

A couple of Molski's are up. Someone pull and tell me if it was done correctly (I'm new to Torrent)

links and seeding
currently seeding aku 3.3 8mb page pool
also if anybody wants to pm me i will get back to them i have the links for the rom above and the wizard love rom on a very quick share server

&
RUU_Molski.Biz_Faria_AKU3.2-3000_3000_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2-G3
Are working fine on the Bay.
It's also funny to see how the 8Mb faria version is one of the favourites.
Running it myself and loving it.
Also funny to see how these Roms get seeded better than Movies.
(in other words to stay seeded even without leeches, which means a better availability, Yes it my make your seed list bigger, but some torrent clients have filters)
If only we can figure a workaround to MS request for new roms. As it clear that any new release has to be provided by a Cook. And that means a Cook can always be traced to it's afiliation and responsibility of getting the Roms out there. On th other hand A Cook is not XDA-Devs. They just use the Forums to discuss their builds! I asume that since this post (up until now) has not been blocked by an Admin. It means they do not condone this endavour. But still some input of what would be wise to post and what not. Like setting up some forum rules like not anwsering questions to users about where to find the roms. Because let's face it anyone that does not know how to find downloadable content should not be messing with their phoner?
So i'm still waiting for the big shots really. In the mean time i'll just continue my epic search for The Lost Roms!

I have a htc wizard (T-mobile MDA) and I'm not sure which rom to use in the following. What is the difference between them?
faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-8mb
faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-6mb
faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-4mb
Thanks for any help

Touch-IT P4350

Hey guys.
I live in South-Africa, been using v1.1 for a while now and I saw that 2.0 is out (for the P4350, and some have version 2.3? I didn't see a thread about that one).
Anyway, I can't get the file to download from rapidshare, and megaupload is always full (for our country).
So I always get "Download session invalid." from rapidshare, and I've really spent hours trying.
Isn't there anyway that could help me out with this, there's no way I can get it, I managed two times, after spending probably 30 minutes retrying on rapidshare and both ended before it finished, the first one at 2mb and the second one at 14mb. Doing 0.6kb/s.
Please help!

Downloads.... South Africa.... need i say more?
Hi Tertius,
I’m also sitting with the same problem, sometimes I have to wait a day or 2 before I can start the download and when I eventually get the thing going it will also just stop, so with rapidshare and megaupload not supporting “download resuming” I have to start all over again.
It would really help a lot if someone can upload the files to some free ftp site or so something and I would have done it myself if it wasn't for our "cheap" internet services.
…Running Touch-It 2.3b with 4Mb PP

if you guys want i can host it for you 2 on my private ftp so you can download it there,
Pm me if you want.

and pls tell me wich file you want

bdevogt..
Hi bdevogt,
I sent you a private message, hope you can help..
Thanks

wow no disrespect but i didn't even know the 4350 would go as far as south africa.

Hi, hehe, well then you’ll probably be amazed that we even have the Touch and the TyTN 2 here in South Africa. You mustn’t be fooled when it comes to the technology here, yes it’s expensive but we’re not that far behind the rest of the world.

It's just our poor internet connections that keeps us from really getting where we need to get, other than that we have the fastest growing (user wise) cellphone market in the world.
Thanks for "pay as you go"...
Cellphones are big in our country...

[Poll]This Months Top Ten Recommended Roms!![Januray '09 - POLL CLOSED]

Well folks, the time has come, every mid month I will start this poll, and when the month ends I will end the poll and post the results in my wiki and thread!
Since this is the first voting thread, there is going to be an introduction .
I want to have a list where people can be specific and choose one ROM, but what if you don't know what to choose? This is what will help.
Poll Has Started!
Will end January 31st, at 11:59:59PM
Any new ROMs will be added in this poll that are released before Jan 24th.
Please, don't post in here requesting advice on what ROM to get, this only a voting thread. If you want to know what ROM to get try some out and use the one you like. Then vote here for the ROM you like the most.
Mods, delete irrelavent posts please
Also,
CHO HTC is the PhamQuang ROM

Please add also PhamQuang ROM (PDAViet)

I think he changed the ROM's name to CHO HTC. You can check my list if you'd like .

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

LOL, I always miss that one.

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

What Would You Do?

some of you may or may not know of the winmodevelopers site, its lke ths website but for non htc devices
ok for the past few months we've been having issues
the software we use (IPB v1.3 final) has a few flaws we werent aware of when the site was set up
t doesn't nativley support uploading cab files (a very mportant factor)
as its the last free version so cannot be upgraded wthout cost
you may wonder why im beng so stingy its because we simply cannot afford it
we have so far received no donations as weve always been hosted for free
so the problem we have is we have a domain donated by a member here (Quicksite)
we have phpbb whch is free our forum but what we really need is free places to put the installation
so our opton s to go back to a free phpbb bundle so t can be updated and support cab files
or do i wait for donations for hostng?????
any ideas?????????

I dont think so...
I cant imagine how a new web can be supported by the members...
Money i mean, by donations...
We need to wait till itself grows up...
Many improvements have been set and is nice but many people has HTC devices... the NON htc are minor...
Dont give up men! if you say that we must to move to another free hosting site... we will backup all data... then reupload it... but it cant be three times in a year...

thats another issue the ste we have at the mo provdes no backup facilites whchs means have to do it manually, i thn we my just stick to forum we have now until we pckup members and interest

WC Website launch

Hi guys and fellow users of the WCX series.
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
just a short post to let you know of the new website WC has created to host his current roms mainly the EXPERIA-NCE series. this is due to the current 'swamping' situation in the x1 forum right now. as you would have noticed a few cooks have started posting their roms on htc pedia to sort of weed out the bad apples and provide their work to people who truly appreciate it. the norm is that people flock to the roms with the most posts and most views. what peops dont realise that more post normally means more bugs! we on the other hand have tried to create roms with few bugs so our roms may not appeal to the flood of new 'beta' testers who join XDA daily. what we have produced is a rom that can be used daily from a cook who actually cares about what he puts out there. so if you want a rom on your device which allows you to concentrate on other things in your life then try our work................. the web address is at the top of the post and you will have to register to get access to the download.
this forum has turned into a '*****ing' forum full of whingers and too many stuck up folks. no one shares but are quick to take off you when they want something! we will never ask you for donations or ask for your help to buy a new device. we have no donation fund to buy phones for our 'people' as we can buy our own.................!
come try our work and if ya dont like it then you got so many to choose from on here! thanks for reading!

@shingers5
Nice post. I just posted something on the WCX ROMS thread before I saw this.

Cool ....... i really liked WCX rom. It may not be as flashy or as fast as some but it is very stable and it just works. so far i have not experience any crash or freeze (maybe i'm not a heavy user keke)

Thanks guys, posted somerules that need to be read in the first populated thread....FTP is up and running now.

WC

I always liked the WCX roms. But frankly, registering at dozens of individual forums and checking them all several times a week for updates/fixes/comments simply sucks

Subscribe to threads of interest which makes it easier to determine if a visit to the forum is warranted.

[email protected],sorry for the [email protected],there are many roms here from which to choose that will suit your needs as well...

.....why
Hi Wild Child,
i also greatly appreciate your work.
It really seems there are some who care a lot about a nice finish and there are others who always ride the bleeding edge...
Realizing little decay in some parts of the forum, there are always some of the good and brave who make it a nice place in sum.
Why did you open up your own forum
Seemed to me that you are one of the master cookers, so who bothered you?
Anyway, maybe you don't like to point it out here...
Keep up your good work and good luck with your forum!
Best regards,
