The Vector Smartwatch is a pretty nice device, but now it has been acquired by*Fitbit the development - especially on W10m - is going to be all but gone.
I think this could be a real opportunity for some of you guys to develop some new ROMs for this*little device and help the Windows community*to enjoy some bug-free enjoyment.
What do you think?

Hello!
firstly, thanks to everyone for such a fantastic resource. I always enjoy reading about the latest bits of user made software and trying out delicious freshly baked roms...
I have been a winmo user for about 5 years now (many MANY phones ) but, sadly, i have just purchased a nokia N95 8Gb (i basically couldn't refuse the offer) but one thing that really annoys me about it (and i havent got it yet! it arrives tomorrow) is the lack of intelligent, and credible sources of user discussion and content generation (such as this fantastic site). I really will miss it!
Does anyone know of a good symbian forum/irc/site in a similar vain to xda-dev? I have visited www.allaboutsymbian.com and wasnt impressed with the manner or technical level of its users... maby i just didnt dig deep enough.
Anyway, thanks again!
wish me luck on the s60 side... ill have a tytnII if it all goes tits up

I spit in the face of Symbian!Ptui!! Although,you could go over to mobiholics.com, I know youll be back soon because we all know youre going over there to sell the phone.
i got a p1i, and my super device of all time, the athena has since been neglected... maybe that will change with the release of the real athena project rom..
so i too am looking for symbian-developers.com

I just read a closed thread in the X1 forum involving a WinMo hater, and I did find it a little amusing, and I understand it was closed with the statement not to bring it up again, so I decided to bury this in the off-topic section.
My point is, though, that WinMo has its issues as does every other phone platform, but I have decided to stick with WinMo not simply for its technical advantages that I prefer, but primarily for the outstanding service and support that is provided by the very accomplished contributing members of XDA-Developers.
Most (if not all) of the people who contribute here do it as a labor of love, and I have not found anything else quite like this anywhere else on the web.
So for all those who make this in my (somewhat biased) opinion the best online community on the WWW, BIG UPS! Good Job!
Most importantly Thank You for making my trip through the PocketPC world as fulfilling as I could have imagined.
Agreed. I dont venture to that forum as i dont have one but having support from XDA and PPCGEEKS has made my device, whatever it has been, the best out there.
I agree, xda-developers is the best mobile community.
However my next phone will be the Nokia N82. I'm going to try the Symbian OS. Nothing against windows mobile, but I'm sure many of us can agree that most HTC and other phones just quite aren't powerful enough to handle windows mobile. I'm sticking with the N82 till there is a blazing fast windows mobile device packed with great features. (Maybe it's the tegra chip I'm waiting for?)
Plus, switching to S60 gives me something new to learn about! And now I can play quake 3, doom, GBA, SNES, and everything else I've always dreamed of playing on a phone!
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xda
I am an IT professional but I am also doing some volunteer work to fix IT gadgets at Restart Party, organised by the Restart Project, a community repair skill share workshop event in London.
At the moment, Restart Party focuses upon physical repairs, such as a battery and broken screen replacement for mobile devices, however, in order to use their devices longer, it is essential to understand the importance of Custom Roms in general.
The Restart Project will organise the Fixfest, a global gathering for community repair, this weekend (6/10 to 8/10) in London. (sorry for a short notice)

I was asked to facilitate to organise “unconference session” / workshop on October 7th. I am going to organise “Extending Mobile Phone life with Open-source Android OS” (NB, I don’t use the term “custom rom” here as the majority of people may not understand what it is, The session would be for only 45 min. But this session would be very introductory one to new people. I want to hands on sessions as much as possible. (a quick demonstration, even installation etc with various devices.)
I am wondering if some people at XDA in London on this Saturday would join my workshop/session. I am a still new to this custom rom world, any experienced flash specialists will be welcome . I prefer not a flashy brand new phone for demonstration as we encourage using the existing devices. (lol) I will bring Oneplus One,and Nexus7 (2013). Another restart volunteer will bring Moto 4 (2014)
Anybody who would be interest, please contact me directly. Even you are not able to attend this session but interested in Restart Party, please also contact me. We might be able to organise Flashing Rom Restart party or something in the future.
This would be an opportunity for general public to understand developers community‘s wonderful contributions towards existing Android devices.
Last not least, you guys are so great! Thank you so much. Flashing a device offers a new life to the old device, this is not just technical thing but also spiritual, psychological thing as well. This was my first feeling when I have installed a custom Rom. I was so amazed.
Happy hacking

I'm new to "the other side" of the android world. I've always had android devices but I just used them as limited by the seller/provider and until it was time to buy a new one. This contributes to continuing trashing the only planet we have.... Therefore, I decided to cross to this side , take control of the devices I owned, and extend their lifetime or hand them over to others to contribute to keep our planet alive. So far, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of information but I'm going at my own peace and I'm sure people here will help me out on the way.... Thank you and let's start the journey!
You learn the most on an old phone which can get bricked without any consequences. At least keep two and try to run the most modern custom Roms.
Don't feel new ... but welcome !
Hi, I’m Dreagen. I’m a multidimensional artist who’s Idol is Elon Musk. Fascinated, by software & tech, I enjoy studing multimedia and electronic enterprising which brings me to to this world of ‘’software development.’’ Android is my favorite platform and I’m working on several apps. My hat would be gray if I knew programming better; however I’m no hacker… I’m excited and look forward to engaging with all you real programmers with hopes this experience lucrative.
Great to see new faces here, I'm not a developer, just a random guy who likes to mess up with devices, you'll see quite a lot going on here, I've seen impressive jobs done, hope you have a great time to enjoy here! Cheers!
