If any one else here has recieved one of these - please say so here so that the mods can do something
i got it too
I thought the website wasn't too bad. I'm a new member...
Their news section was relatively interesting, they were showing off the Wizard overclocker etc.
But I guess it is spam-crumptious.

Yes, I just got it too.

Sounds like it's just an automated system that targets the users online for example, but doesn't keep track of who it's already PM'd.
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

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?
hey guys, thought id open this up for collaboration, I started guide that will help beginners determine what ROM to install and if they have what they need to begin the process.

Good idea, but could use some work. I feel like it had too little questions to judge which rom would be best for me.
It seems as though What I was trying to do was considered Kanging. The funny thing is that I wasn't trying to do that. My intentions was merely to get my feet wet in development. But I understand now. Also, I want to make something perfectly clear; My intentions was never to steal. Until today, I never knew what Kanging was or even knew it existed. I just wanted to explore the possibilities of having more Devs on site. Anyway, thanks to the few that responded. Peace.
Seems like an interesting idea, I have too much on my plate ATM (grad school, 3 kids, wife, full time job, and trying to learn linux in my "spare" time), but one suggestion is go to the thread here to try and get a good working understanding of the way to do it.
Lastly, no to the dev forum as this isn't development (dont mean to sound like a sarcastic ass).
If you do get it set up, you could do it through a G+ hangout.
(I edited this because I dont know if the contact I suggested would appreciate me doing so as I don't actually know him and am just working off of an impression).

Understood. And thanks for the reply and feedback bud.
And the link you used is no good. Got another there?
So I joined xda today for a few reasons. One being that I would love to be able to do a fraction of what some of these people on here do. I just got cm9 and saw that they put the source out too, but i havent a clue as to what to do with it. Google+ hangout sounds like a good idea.

Sounds good. Now we need someone to give us direction. If we can recruit an individual with some working knowledge of the material we will be set. In the meantime, If you want to get started learning the foundations be my guest. I'll get started as well. I'll PM you for e-mail addresses. If you can respond to this it will help to keep this thread alive. It will promote traffic.. Thanks bud.
[Announcement] We are currently looking fir an individual out there who knows the basics or foundations of building a custom ROM from CM9 or earlier. We would like to ask for your assistance in giving us a general direction. TYVM.
Hey man. It seems as though this has reached a turning point way before it had a chance to begin. Hahaha. But listen man, if you still want to talk about this project for future purposes, I will be more than happy to do so. Just pm me or e-mail me bud. Thanks again and sorry about all this.
Hi all. New account but have been on xda-developers for years. I sometimes come up with crazy ideas that I try to bounce off the gurus here and see if something works out.

It's an open invitation for anyone who believes they're a guru. For a noob like me, everyone is a guru. So like I said earlier, was thinking about cyclic screen recording for the pocophone f1 or galaxy s21 ultra. Wanted a solution that could give 2x5 minutes files with the older file being overwritten. Doesn't have to be on all the time. Just when needed. Was wondering if such an app exists or such feature is available on either phone or some custom rom for the poco f1 that has something like this. Would be useful for situations where someone uses your phone with your permission but oversteps the limits of what he/she was permitted to do. Or could be used for bugs in apps or games etc. There are quite a lot of uses.
Well, this is the latest that's come into my head. There are more but let's see if something can be worked out for this first
Cheers
