working on that resource..its not ready yet..

Anyways, the first thing to understand is what di18, dk28, eb13, ec05 and etc stand for...

The first letter means year..

d=2010
e=2011

the next one stands for month...

a=jan
b=feb
c=march
d=april
e=may
f=june
g=july
h=aug
i=sept
j=oct
k=nov
l=dec

then the following 2 numbers is the day...

so effectively when out of touch just look for the highest value and thats the latest...so eb13 is feb 13th 2011...on mar 21st we will be getting ec05= march 5th 2011 rom..

DI18 is the last 2.1 rom, afterwards all of them are 2.2.1

EXT4 is the filesystem..by default we have RFS filesystem..EXT4 gives us better performance..

so now boils down to this, what do you want to do? root only? custom rom?
