Thread Designing

---

This is starting as an idea, it is a subject to change depending on demands and evaluation from developers/users.

So, lately I've been seeing a lot of ROM threads with very bad grammar and lame designs that just make you want to leave the thread without even looking at what it's got to offer.
I was thinking of putting an end to this by designing threads for ROM developers so that the threads look sleek, cool and attractive. This would of course cost them nothing, rather than the time it would take me to design those threads.
Each design would probably take 2-3 days, depending on the requests (numbers and details of request).

Things I would need for the design:

• Screenshots of the ROM
• ROM name
• ROM info
• links to specific files
  
• Or, you could just lead me to your current thread, I'd take the info from there and transfer it to the new design.

This is what you'd get from me:

• Better grammar in the thread
• Better thread design
• Overall feel of the thread
• Better overview and placement of ROM sections (links, screenshots, information, changelog...)
• Eventually more users of your ROM

Threads I've designed by now:

• Alzbac's DonutHD

Just like you said, it is indeed very hard to read a very messy thread, and I always end up not founding what it is about, and where to get it.

This is a very good idea. Good luck.

good one man...

I'll ask you when i need for my rom

Nice Idea!
Hope a lot of developers that got problems with their english ask you to help them. Good Luck with your "project".

I would however suggest that changes per version be shown in detail.
"detail as in... all changes."
Developers may be allowed however to with hold some rom superiority changes.
To allow the rom DEV to fairly claim some fame for his work unless he feels the requirement to share the details of his finding A.S.A.P.

Screen shots is a must have.
The page should use thumbnails to dump stress on XDA and other servers... and allow you to click on them for a full view. "unless pictures of rom are already quite small."

The page should better reflect the quality and effort of the rom..
Hell knows... i put effort into all my posts.

I don't quite understand...

Please don't get me wrong, but I've read your post like 4 times and I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. It must be because of the stress from school and lack of concetration.
Anyways, you said "changes per version be shown"... version of what? I don't design ROM's, I design threads, that make finding what you want in a specific thread easier. There are no versions in thread designs.

"Developers may be allowed however to with hold some rom superiority changes."
Developers can ask me to change anything they want after I've shown them a design of the thread, such as font type, font size, colour and stuff.

"Screen shots is a must have."
I could include this into my project, but the developers that asked me to design them a thread get the text codes for the design, which they just copy-paste to a Reply Box and just press Preview Post, from there developers can see how the thread would look like. If they like it, they just press Submit Reply and overwrite their previous thread text with mine.

Ummm... I don't know what is wrong..... is it me... or is it you... idk.

A almost good example of a ordered rom thread.

Wish I had thought of something like this! I agree some of the threads actually hurt my eyes to look at (sorry but it's the truth! ahah)

I know I was talking about the scattered layout and big pictures that don't actually work that appears on some of the threads.
