Hi I was wondering what happened to JJ. I mean he was the king of cooks on hermes in the old days. Dos anyone know what happened to him?
He moved off to another forum a while back. My understanding was that the other forum would better allow him to manage the thousands of questions he was getting on his ROMS which he felt had been asked countless times.
I genuinely don't know whether he is still into developing ROMS; however there are a raft of excellent cooks and ROMs out there now which means one is spoilt for choice. We should continue to be in this great position if we continue to support the cooks we have left, especially from a donation perspective.

Not dead, but it looks like he's had to leave the scene:

(I haven't followed JJ's career since he left here, so this might have been superceded, your question made me wonder, so I went googling).

Ok I looked at your link at 4winmobile. So now we kno what happened to him. Sad though. Back in the days he was the only "real" cook that made the hermes an amazing toy. Hope he will be back one day...
not dead, still lurking......

Wait. 2008 was 4 years ago? Damn.
And welcome back JJ, even though I never heard of you, and I'm from the generation that thought NRG was the ROM God. lol
A 4 year bump is pretty impressive, especially when it's legit.....
Also, always nice to find out someone's not dead.
Bump
Here is another 4 year bump....
Sup peeps. I just wanted to drop by and share my thoughts with you. I have a Xperia X1 at the moment and have used lots of other HTC devices before that.
A couple of weeks ago, while looking for a backup device, I got a second hand Kaiser from a friend of mine. It was a good deal and the device is in a very nice shape.
I am mostly done installing apps and tweaking it. I must say that, I am very happy with my puchase. It is a great device and can serve me well even as a primary!
I want to say a big thank you to all the people contributing to the Kaiser forums. I was able to fix all the little issues and to find useful tweaks in the threads of the this forum. All the question I had, have been answered already, with solution for most of the problems as well.
Cheers and keep it up! I am expecting to get many years of service from this device .
Hey guys
Im thinking of buying the xperia T, I did a search and I liked the phone but some sites says it will be released late 2012, some other say its already released, im just confused. I called a retailer and I asked about the phone, he dose not know anything about it.
so is it out?? for the middle east ??
and why is the development so poor for this device ?

The T and TX have been released in a number of countries/regions but not all at the moment so you may be one of the unlucky ones.
As for development being poor, you're not the first person to say this and won't be the last, however you all seem to miss the point that the phone has only recently been launched and we already have a number of Elite Recognized and Recognized Developers that have started work on it. As far as time to develop goes, I think the take up on this has been pretty impressive and too many people's expectations have become clouded by being on phones which have been out for some time where every kid and his dog is developing (zipping) a ROM for it. CM10 for example was available within about a week and development on it has surpassed other devices which have been out for a lot longer. Anyway there's a discussion about the level of development in the General section.
I have had all major Sony phones over the last few years starting with the x10, Ray, arc s, xperia s and now the T
I have decided to get a Samsung S3 and switch aligance to Samsung the slow development and Sony support being the main reason

Don't blame you, the T is a good device but loads of carriers lock down the bootloader, I can't unlock mine so development is limited for people like us, kinda sucks, I was debating between the S3 and T, may have made the wrong decision but hopefully an unofficial unlock will come our way
Even with the bootloader unlocked there is t much to flash or developing

Good luck pal, do what suites you the best. I moved to Nexus 4 and now I am back. Actually I found out that I like moderate development and not so many that you can't choose from anymore.
Sony has been having this issue but I haven't found a real replacement in terms of design. SG III is nice (not my taste)
I love Sony design it's just the development is so poor and the updates so slow

Funny because I went the other way, for now at least because I get bored easily and my 8 phones demonstrate that. The funny thing is that I'm using a Sony theme on my Nexus.
Have to say it's great getting the latest software with the Nexus after feeling quite burnt by Sony and HTC.
Dont blame sony for the lack of development.
If you want to see more development why dont you try doing some yourself. Everyone on this site does it for free, we dont owe you anything. It would be nice to see people who complain about the lack of something actually trying it themselves.
Do you think the devs (And others like me who dip our toes into it) were born knowing this stuff? No, we learned it as we went along by trying stuff and sharing things that worked....its all a learning curve

Did I say anyone owed me?
I did miui Roms for the ray themes for arc and x10
Wind your neck in son it's people like you that get on my nerves I never had a go at anyone or expected anything so just because you comment on nearly every post you think you can have a pop at me? I am not complaining merely stating a fact development is slow and while people like you think you have a go at people like me more people will not bother with the forum and change phones like I am

My post was polite, no need for me to wind my neck in.
If you developed in the past you should understand how your comments come across. Also, your knowledge would help develop some MIUI roms for the T (Is there one yet?) maybe thats an opportunity for some extra development.
Regards,
Greg

Maybe and apologise it felt like an attack
Yeah I see how my comments could be took but recently there was a big think made by some of the old x10 guys about this phone and it's development I thought there would have been more
My phone is going Friday so no chance for me to get a miui rom done
Sorry again
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
No problems.
Maybe this thread caught me at a bad point as I have just been speaking to a user via PM who is (How can i say it?) less than thankfull to me for my input to helping him out personally.
Anyway, I too had an x10 and there was great expectation for the development here that I will admit does seem slow. (Not heard anything from Adam Outler since his thread about getting the T)
I didnt mean to attack, so apology accepted and no hard feelings. Enjoy your new phone and if you ever come back it will be nice to see a MIUI rom here.
I had a x10, a Arc. Have a Xperia P & a T.
Always been happy with SE & Sony, they make very good quality phones. But were slow with development of Android updates. Had several Samsungs. Imho SGS 3 is a cheap large plastic piece. But thats my personal opinion. l had one & sold it. The SGS 4 Iooks promising. I hope you'll enjoy it. Wish you the best.

I can port MIUI if need be.lol.we have fully functional CM so its easy.problem is i dont want to unlock my TL-rex and i dont even know if it can be unlocked or not
PS:in fact any advanced user (not developer as iam not really a dev )can do it.if anyone is interested i can point to right guides
The development thread looks like a Rom grave yard so many roms unfinished and now people will be jumping to the Z most won't get finished
Shame I thought the bond phone would have more interest in it than it has had
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Tell you what.. with Sony being so open about sharing source code and all drivers, it won't be too long before there's an infusion of devs from Sammy devices. Maybe the Z, maybe the next flagship, but I think some will make the transition as more quality phones come out.
Oh no! Another rant thread.
Sony's update is relatively fast. Samsung only updated its flagships. What about the others? Think of the big picture before shooting.

I have known you guys since the x10 days... The x10 community was huge compared to any other Xperia community...
What I would say is that everyone has their own preferences... Chiefy is a flash-o-holic... So probably it's Best that you get a device like the Nexus 4...
As for others it's totally upto you as to what you want...
Also please don't start fighting... It's more of misunderstanding than anything else...

wow..... you really went from Sony to cheap plastic?
good luck.
Funny I went the other way. In my s3, kept flashing roms after a week
Here on tx, I just rooted and found the stock ics rom much 10x better than jelly bean in s3.
There's not much to improve with the stock rom. And thats a fact

Hi everyone!
It might sound silly and i hope i post it in the right section, but i just bought the S3 mini(N version) and before i buy a new device i check XDA community status, checking for custom roms, root, recovery etc etc....
coming for a very huge community of a flagship device(HTC Desire HD, which had 4.2.2 update just a few days after official google release)
i was disappointed to see not too many roms in the development section especially for the N version (and no fully working CM rom),
but it was still enough, so i bought it and i'm very pleased.
Nowadays i see the community flourish! new N version compatible roms, toolkits, themes, all updated and with constant replays from the chefs,
so a question pops into my head... why now?!
the device was released in November 2012... what took so long?
i do understand it's not a flagship device but still.... i'm wondering...
i know the reason i bought the device right now it's because of it's low price at the moment(about 350$ in Israel).
on the same note i would like to thank all the developers and who ever is contributing to this wonderful community, may it continue to grow!!!
The community's been around for a while. This phone's only about 6 months old, root was gained inside a week, and they were struggling to get a working recovery that didn't cause a soft brick for a couple months. Give the devs time to get us a working CM build.

Chill out, better now than never, take a look at Galaxy Ace, it's from 2010 (?) and still receives new roms and updates. I prefer our phone to be maintained for 2-3 years than have a quick but short span of excitement and then nothing.
let's clear something, i am chill and i praise the devs for the work for how long it will take,
it was all from curiosity! sorry if anyone thought otherwise!
you gave me good answers and i see the development moving on rapidly, may this device will have support for at least a few years.
thanks guys.

It is great phone. I am sure that developers will make great stuff for it. Cheers
