Q: How do I get my ROM/kernel listed on here? A: Your ROM/kernel must meet all the requirements to be listed on XDA. Along with that it must be listed on XDA in the proper Thunderbolt Development area with the latest release listed in the title of the thread so I can easily know when a new version is released. Finally you must properly credit anyone else's work. I will not tolerate listing any ROMs/kernels that kang from other developers and not give proper credit where its due.
Q: How can I submit info for my ROM? A: Just private message me here on XDA with any info you want me to include with your ROM infos such as developer credits, potential chat room for discussion for said ROM, and other infos you would find of use to the listing. Also if you want me to update any info about your ROM you can private message that to me as well.
Q: Okay I got questions to ask about ROMs such as which is the best one to use... where can I get answers? A: The best place I recommend is to post in the Thunderbolt Q&A area here on XDA. Be sure to click on the "Yes, this is a Question" option as well when putting together your post asking your important question.
Q: AOSP? CyanogenMod? Debloat? RUU? What does all this gibber talk mean? A: The Thunderbolt Root User's Dictonary maintained by MattBeyers does a great job at explaining all of this.
Q: What happened to Chingy's ROMs? What happened to Team BAMF ROMs? Why are they no longer listed? A: All three have for various reasons decided to leave XDA. Therefore by XDA rules I can no longer list them. I greatly apologize for this.
Q: What happened to KDKobes ROMs? A: Due to KDKobes kanging from other developers I am no longer listing those ROMs.
XII – THANKS AND CREDITS
Demolition Man would like to Thank ....
First and foremost thanks to all the developers for all the hard work that has been put into all the amazing work. With you developers we would have none of the amazing ROMs, kernels... let alone this listing wouldn't exist.
Thanks to both XDA for letting me start this listing, Ryanmo5 for
helping out, and MyComputerDoctor for taking over running the listing.
Thanks to the numerous contributions from members on both forums including some great feedback which has help make this listing even better. I might not have said you by name but you know who you are. Trust me I'm very thankful for all your feedback.
Thanks to Blizzard for creating the worst crack ever... World Of Warcraft. Thanks to Major League Soccer. Thanks to the city of Pawnee, IN especially their Parks And Recreations department. Thanks to Mountain Dew Throwback for giving me some fuel when updating the listing. Thanks to Ring Of Honor. Thanks to both the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings.
And thank you all XDA and Droid Forum members for all the support!
MyComputerDoctor would like to Thank ....
I would like to start off by thanking Google for creating such a unique Operating System. One that grants technology lovers like us the opportunity to modify and create a "personal" user interface.
Obviously, without the Developers, a list like this would not ever exist. All your tireless work does not go in vain. Thanks.
Demolition Man, I have been using your list since the day I received my Thunderbolt in the mail. Your database was my source for up-to-date information in regards to Thunderbolt Modification.
If you enjoy using this list as much as I did, please let me know and hit the "Thanks" button. Happy Flashing......
