i fail to see why a boot splash screen is an ego tag... hell i don't even know what an ego tag is. is that some super secret developer talk for im jealous i cant use photoshop? and as for Mighty's rom having mighty moues on the splash screen. if you are worried that your friends and co workers or what ever are going to judge you on a splash screen and segregate you like the stinky kid in class. then you need new friends and better business associates. i could have a milky green pile of baby puke as my splash screen i don think my friends, co-workers, business associates or boss would judge me on it. they probably wouldn't care enough about what my phone looks like on boot up to even notice.

Really?! Your DVD player/TV or consumer electronics product displays a splash screen acknowledging the person(s) responsible for creating/writing the software? A simple HTC splash screen would be suffice for the Diamond…

Ego Tags are just that, tags added to something to acknowledge the efforts of an individual or group. You see it all the time with “pirated” software. Each group will include their own .nfo file in the .rar to get recognized by the community. I’ve seen some instances where the .rar was nothing but a collection of compressed files that each included a separate/different .nfo.

FYIY, I’m merely trying to explain why I like Juicy .roms more than the others. I was just giving my opinion on the subject. When I installed the Juicy .rom on my phone, it was not branded to any specific creator or service. The .rom, for the most part, looked like something that might have come directly from HTC.
