Is the work on Custom Rom Dead

[madykes]

I have not heard any news on the progress of the custom roms. Has it become impossible to do?.

This is not impossible per se, however the process is waiting on getting a HardSPL for both devices. cmonex is working on this, however is on holiday at the moment.

The thread at ppcgeeks has been locked, I believe its a lost cause. I guess we all should just be happy with what we have in this stock rom.

It won't happen any time soon. There are people working on it though.

Too less people got this phone and too less people will. Its overshadowed by the Pre and even that one is not doing too well. its not even out in Europe yet..

Face it, if a hard SPL will be made, only 5 to 10 people will be actually cooking roms and maybe another 5 will download and use them. Is it worth the effort? Specially compared to HTC Touch with thousands of people cooking roms..

I hope there will be someone who can create a HardSPL who don't care for the fame and glory and 100's of donations. Someone who will really care for us few treo pro owners

Glad I didnt donate yet.

ro8in, ever think -possibly- that having a hardspl AND cooked roms will give the xda community an option for an awesome phone? They don't want to go to this phone, not because its not a good phone -- but because there's no community behind it.

So I believe your opinion to be retarded, and at best, overshadowed by the further options this beautiful phone will bring once win-mo 6.5 is brought on this little beauty.

I believe HardSPL and cooked roms for this phone will see a surge of interest.

[gregnash]

Hard to say what would happen.
"Only 5 people cooking ROMs" - sounds like a good number to me. Thousands means too many options, and too much time trying to figure out what's worth trying.

True there may be only 5 or so to cook but not true about 5 people to use the roms. I know there will be more than that, possibly over 100 starting off, it will go from there...

Indeed once there is an option for custom roms the community supporting this phone will grow!

I do intend to donate as soon as I see progress, credit is due to those who make it happen!!

I don't think this phone is unpopular because there's no community support. How many people actually check community support before getting a new phone??

I think community support comes more from the fact that many people have a certain phone and once they get bored with it but are still on subscription so they can't get a new one. They start to play with roms etc.

If many people bought the phone then offcourse a bigger community will appair. Unfortunatly the palm treo just hasn't been sold as much as for example a HTC Touch pro.

I'm bored with my Treo and I would love to see some cooked roms for it. As i'm still on subscription and can't get a new phone yet. I agree that this phone will kick ass with WM6.5 I really like this phone.. By any means this phone has it all a full qwerty keyboard (blackberry style), touch screen, GPS Wifi HDSPA etc. etc. but I still don't think it will happend as the Treo pro is just too unpopular(I guess very very poor marketing by Palm). Here in Europe most phone stores didn't even heard of this phone ever. There was only one Vodafone store which by luck had a few laying around and not even on display (hidden in a closet).. :(
