Just wondering about the backgrounds on some of the cooks on here. I've briefly looked up how to cook a ROM and yeah, it's way beyond me. :eek:

So was wondering the backgrounds on the chefs here at XDA. Cheers. :)

But you have some sort of knowledge in coding or something? Doesn't cooking these ROMs entail complex coding? C+? etc? I have no idea, just wondering. I'd like to learn and eventually do something up for us Canuks for Rogers network specifically.

Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316881 it's a nice easy way to get started. Just make sure you have the latest olipro loaded on your phone before you start flashing your home cooked ROMs.

I tried my hands at "cooking" my own. Got lost after a while and couldn't follow the discussion. Seems to involve more than just following the steps listed.

You guys are good.
