Cooked ROM (Hey JimmyMcGee)

[terrapin69]

I have a new TILT from ATT, US. I was hoping someone could provide advise on a lighter ROM (one without the ATT crap everywhere) that I could use. Also, if I do so, can I revert back to the stock AT if I need to?

Three Words:

Wiki

Sticky

Search.

Welcome to XDA.

Thread Closed.

[terrapin69]

Why did you close my thread on ROM suggestions? I am so new to this and was referred over to this forum by the owner of another large site that handles other phones. You said: Three words...WIKI, Search, Read or something to that extent...Why? Al I was looking for advice on what I should choose, not instructions on how to install or anything really technical. Instead, why not try helping rather than closing threads...

[theclueless]

maybe because there are just so many threads that ask/suggest the exact same thing?

[da_mafkeez]

i guess you must find out for yourself. :rolleyes:
every rom is different, nobody can tell you if its great or less great. its the same for buying a new car. everybody tells you different things.

think about it, and try some roms. take your time :)

[noobtesting]

if you read his response you will answer your own question.

I waited 6+ months before even posting on this site coming from Howard forums strictly because of the name of this site. You could at least respect when a thread is closed to put some thought into it. You should also try to education yourself a little before creating more spam threads. The mods have to sift through enough of it as it is. Where you came from and who sent you is irrelevant.

[terrapin69]

that's all I wanted was a suggestion. Isn't that the point of forums? As for the other weenies, I will so try to be a better boy...

[gomo187]

Because everyday someone gets their new phone and asks the same questions, its a pain for the mods and members to have to tell people the same things over and over. Check out the wiki and stuff at the top of the page it will give you just about every answer you need. When youve read through it all and still cant find your answer then try starting a thread. It wont drive people as crazy around here.

There is a neat little function in the site called "private message" for something like this. Please do not disrespect the mods and and forum by creating a new thread after yours has been closed.

[terrapin69]

if there were as many members responding to my requests for help as there are these, it'd be great...

then we will be just encouraging this kind of behavior :p

[DaveShaw]

Here's a little friendly advice...

The reason that so many people are reading and replying to this thread is because you are having a go a one of the forum Mods. The Mods on this site are respected by all other members; they uphold the Rules of this site (found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221545)) and ensure the forums are clean and easy to read by everyone:
1. Check if something hasn't been asked before

If you have problems with a Moderator or the Rules, bring it up with the Mod in question, or another moderator or even one of the Site Admins.

Don't feel insulted by the fact that your thread was closed, and don't make it personal (Rule 8 :)). It's not the end of the world.:D

As i've stated many many time in the forum to noobs who complain that we don't answer their questions...If you asked your questions in the correct manner, and put it in the right place, then you will find the people on this site to be very helpful to you. If you insist that you are above the rules, and choose to disrespect the forum, the mods, and other members then you will not find it to be a welcoming place at all. There are not many rules here, but those who have the knowledge that you seek expect those few rules to be abided by, and as another use said, if we answer your questions when you intentionally didn't put it in the rigth place it only reinforces the belief that the rules don't matter.

chill up dude - we are all one big crazy family here
closing a thread is a tough decision to be made but some times a mod need to take it for the good of everybody

maybe next time if you want to ask specific question or a individual advice (try using Personal Messages), in couple of occasions i sent personal messages to mods asking advice/opinion and they replied me promptly but if i had posted my queries as thread i am sure they will close 'em up...

back to your question - there is no best answer to what is best rom because i will say 50% is personal prefrence and 50% technical details so nobody will know what is best for you expect one person - YOU - cuz u can judge them for ur use and ur prefrence

best wishes bro

I think I feel the hammer coming on!

[DaveShaw]

Does that mean it's "hammer time".

Oh crap, did I just say that. I need sleep :D

Dude, AllTheWay has shot me down twice & moved one of my posts. Am I crying about it, NO. He did that because I didn't follow protocol. It was a learning experience for me & probably some other people who saw it happen. I'm not pissed off at him for it. I apologized & thanked him for teaching me something. Your thread was probably shot down because someone else has already asked the same thing at some point. These guys have been here longer than us & know a hell of alot more than we do. If you're still reading this at this point, I should feel pretty inportant for keeping your attention this long. I wouldn't @#$% with the Mods, Admins or Seniors on this site. They know what they are doing, that's why they are where they are!

[JimmyMcGee]

Well, terrapin69, If I offended you. I'm sorry.

I hope you stick around this is a great place.

Now to answer your question, Why did I close the thread?

I think others have covered it. I respect your opinion. But please respect mine.

It wasn't meant to be curt, but more to be efficient.

Look at the Sticky Roll Up Thread. Read The Wiki, and Of Course Always use search.

Just note, Asking "what Rom is the best" is so subjective that there is no answer.

I have the reasons why. If you want to know most of them, just check out the Rules here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221545).

I appreciate your eagerness. The Kaiser is a great device.

I think I feel the hammer coming on!

That was actually my first thought when I clicked on this, that somewhere I was going to see AllTheWay's Hammer graphic somewhere in here before long.

To answer terrapin's original question: ROM selection is entirely a matter of personal choice, and there are so many options that the only way to really tell which is best for you is to browse through the ROM threads, read the features of the ROM, look at the screenshots, and if you like what you see, flash it. If you don't like that ROM after flashing, find another one.

[JimmyMcGee]

In the interest of free exchange of ideas, I left the threads visable. But I merged them together, therefore it is now closed. If you wish to continue this conversation in public, PM me and I will re open it.

Thank you have a nice day. :)
