View Full Version : ROM Porters abandoning the Wizard?

In the past when a new Base ROM appeared for another device (Trinity, Hermes) then very quickly one or two of the ROM porters would post on here a port for the Wizard. Now over the past few weeks the main ROM guys just haven't been posting. Sure we have had people cook a few ROMs based on the last one that was ported (5.2.1933), however nothing new has appeared.
Is everyone moving over to newer devices and abandoning the Wizard?

they threw wizards thru the window, problably...
maybe you will kill me, but who cares about new ported roms - 318 is ok enough :P
newer ones won't make wizard faster..
only things, that i am lacking, personally - adding extrom space to storage(bigstorage)..

...how can you possibly say this?
The last rom for wizard was published on 22nd november, 3 days ago, the last but one on 20th nov, 6 days ago, and so on... We have the latest build available, 5.2.1933, so what else can you ask for?
Moreover, this phone is quite old (in human time)/GARGANTUANLY old (in technology time) so i'm amazed that so many developers are still working on it!
This is a great community and i've nothing to complain about!

The point is there are no "new features"...all the newer releases did was add additional bugs, issues and instability. The XM6 series of rom's (R4 currently) has used the 318 build all the way back to it's early releases because mfrazzz found it the most stable of the rom's...now 318 is the "new in thing" and everyone is using it as a base rom.
Latest does not = Greatest.

22nd November? - 5.2.1933 has been around since October.....
5.2.1948 has been around for a week or so for other devices. In the past when a new base appeared for a different device I think there was only a delay of a day or so before someone posted a port for the Wizard.
I am not complaining - without anyone porting ROMs (or leaking them) we would all still be on WM5, so thanks for everyones hard work so far :) I was just trying to judge whether all the more senior ROM supremos had migrated to newer devices and were therefore leaving the Wizard.

There are a few that have moved to newer devices. There's ether broke or they just wanted a newer model. Faria, mattk_r, theloon are a few names I remember. theloon still pops in but who knows for how much longer.

It's not possible microsoft release so many new version without any improvement.
Maybe our port is not good as the original versions and because of it we have so many bugs.
but i don't think fair say that not diferences betwen 318 build and others ports
