The "recommend me a ROM(and stuff)" thread!

[eviljimmy]

Hey folks! Been lurking for a while and thought it was about time I posted something useful, so I looked around and didn't see anything similar and thought a "recommend me a ROM" thread would be a nice idea.

To start:

Basically I have an MDA Vario III with Rom version 1.56.220.4and Radio version 1.27.12.11 still locked to T mobile. I use my vario for calls regularly, texts even more and quick alot of the Web and walk service (I live in the UK).
I love the look of the HTC interface (with the big digital numbers and easy tabs) and am mostly looking for something a bit snappier that has some inventive features ( like being able to use 8Gig memory cards) built in.
can anyone recommend me a ROM (official or non) that would suit me?

Feel free to ask for recommendations of your own!

Not to make you feel bad, but, what you posted is something redundant and has been discussed many times in the ROM section.

This is another thread that should not exist. If you had searched, you would have seen lots of closed threads about this very topic. ROMs are very subjective, and so is Radio version. You are just going to test every single one that looks interesting to you.

Is this the reason you earned your "wings"?

When it comes to your answer, "You are just going to test every single one that looks interesting to you." Isn't that a little bit harsh? You should remember that not all the users here have all the time in the world to try out every ROM that comes around, people have lifes.

It must be cool to be senior, but to bitch @ everyone who starts a new thread is a little bit too much IMO.

then why do u think we should flash and tell u how we feel? why is it harsh? we dont know how u feel and what u want...even if u tell us..its just an opinion...if u dont have the time to test out for urself..then u shouldnt be flashing at all...this thread has all the ingredients to be bitched at

if this thread is just going to be a flamefest, you might as well lock it right now.

Yea, he should have just searched and figured out what he thought was the best thread, but you guys were kind of harsh to him in your answers.

I don't think that I hold myself out as "holier than thou". That being said, look at the URL for this website; xda-developers.com. If you are not willing to do any work yourself, and just want everything handed to you, then you need to leave.

I am by no means a developer, but I do my research before creating stupid/unnecessary threads. Go ahead, look at the threads I started... 7 over 21 months.

[bapssystupr3m3]

theres really nothing wrong with noob questions...we all had them...but if they've been asked over n over again...or people dont search the answers first...thats the problem..how hard is it to search before posting..maybe they have...but if u did deep n not post after searching and lookin at the titles of the first page...i'm sure all these threads wont exist

I absolutely love the pictures in this thread. At least it was worth something....;)
