Please read the FAQ before posting questions. I might of already answered your question in the FAQ.

If you have any general questions post them in the Thunderbolt Q&A.

If you have any ROM/kernel/radio/RUU specific question ask in the appropriate thread for that. Please do not post them in the thread for this listing as you are not as likely to get your question answered as quickly as you would in the appropriate thread.

For those wondering about DemoMan's Verizon Trade In experience.

IX – FAQ

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.
