The future of this forum

[bipinsen]

Things have been so quiet lately, that I thought I'd just put up something so people have something to read! The usual suspects that hang around have been missing for a while. Haven't heard from Phil in months. Nitro is about to leave. And Vjgrace never promised to be around for too long. I think we're in a long, lonely stretch here, fellas! :(

I think we 'Tornado'ian are a 'dying' breed. ROM flashing dont excite many people anymore after
vjgrace's almost perfect v3.7 release. Hopefully Nitro can bring us some excitement with his next release. But I bet the excitement will be short-lived.

I for one would like a change to the mundane Tornado Homescreen. On the horizon there is PointUI (www. PointUI.com). But it is far from perfect. Gregory's HTC Home cracked was ok but lacked user customization. Maybe Homescreen design competition!

Well, what do we do to bring some excitement to the Tornado? Wait for WM7 ROM cooking? Linuz? or port the Android?

The answers are within us.

Post ideas here.

Don't worry, my friends. There is a "dynamic equilibrium" in this forum; some people leave, new people come. Andot came when Phil left, EA came when Andot left, etc. There will always be someone to improve our ROMs or just provide support. Don't forget that there are many people here who don't cook but are here for us when we have a problem (DSF, karhoe, you bipinsen and illi, and many more). :)

So, there's nothing to worry about. This forum has many good members to carry on our ...legacy! :p

I just started playing with my TMO SDA (Tornado) on Sunday night. Flashed a NitroGenius WM6 for the first time.

However, making my own ROMs is fun so I already started the process. I ported 5.2.1711 Build 18165.0.5.0 from the TMO Shadow ROM dump posted in another forum (OS only). I will make a vanilla kitchen out of it if anyone is interested... well, even if nobody is interested I'll make a kitchen of it anyway because it's fun to do!

Weird that there is a 5.2.1616 18165.0.5.0, it must be some kind of hybrid because each Microsoft build number is associated with only a specific version, 18165 goes with 1711.

[NiTroGenious]

See, there will always be someone to continue the Tornado WM6 ROM project.

Nice work, GnatGoSplat. You have a pm. ;)

I also plan to release a kitchen as soon as I create the option.xml files for BuildOS. Maybe we can cooperate on this. :)

[GnatGoSplat]

You have PM! :) I won't have much time to work on my kitchen until things calm down at my workplace, but I'll send you the XIP tonight and you should be able to get 5.2.1711 available to the public very soon!

With as many HTC devices as I own, the Tornado is one of my favorites, it's so slim and compact, but it has Wifi! I will probably be around here for some time.

Welcome to the forum GnatGoSplat! Nice to have you here. :)

NiTroGenious AFAIK you expect Shark's new build rom, he said it wouldn't be ready in january...

on subj i can say that there will be some progress soon, cause microsoft promised wm 6.1 in 1Q2008, for sure it will be possible to port it for our old friends:)

Glad to have you around GnatGoSplat. WELCOME!
The excitement continues... I am looking forward to a vanilla version:cool:

@Nitro - hardly an hour of your posting, here comes someone along to "continue the legacy..." ;)

[gr8]

ROM flashing dont excite many people anymore after vjgrace's almost perfect v3.7 release.

i guess you are right. why would one flash another rom when the existing ones (e.g. vjgrace, NiTroGenious) are that good? i think when MS releases something new some people might start again, bringing this alive on the tornado.

but for the time being...

[Sefy]

I like Flashing :rolleyes:
I just can't keep re-installing my phone all the time :D
I do need it for actual phone calls every once in awhile :cool:

[DSF]

Thanks NiTroGenious... unfortunately i've lost my ultra-mega-passion for WM :( (limited time, univ, etc)
But, as you've said "some people leave, new people come" and some of them remain in "background".. :)

Wish you a great time with the military service! Good luck :)
We wait you back, you're the man :D.
