[March 23th, 2009 @ 12:49am] It was just another rom...

[xweaponx]

Regarding the kind gentleman (of whos name we shall not speak...) and his delightful regards on weapon graphics...

Im am regrettably sorry that my novice experience in graphical editing fell short of your highly coveted HTC generic badging. Unfortunately at this time I am not considering altering the lack of cosmetic appeal in my roms and will have to detour you into creating:

Your own functional rom build...
Your own functional HTC graphics...
Your own functional speed tweaks & enhancments...
Your own functional apps, shortcuts, & files...
Your own functional resources for rom after rom repeatability...
Your own functional, well maintained & operational kitchen...
Your own thread and possible subsequent negative remarks (which would almost make me spill my Redbull in excitement was it not for the well appreciated weapon fans)

Best of luck to you kind sir... for acquiring help in this forum with demeanor & tact such as yours will quickly become an anchor... and you will get no where...

I did include UITweaker which has many options for changing highlights & just about any other form of color alternatives. I should have included it in earlier builds...

Other than the quirky contacts, I do think this ROM is faster and smoother than the 20764 based version. Although I must admit, they are both so fast you are really comparing faster to faster-er....

Edit:---Nevermind...After another flash, contacts are fine...must have been something on my end

I am glad to hear you got it working...

Then only apps I have installed are:

Google Search (New at http://m.google.com/search)
Conflippers Custom Weather
Google Maps

Any thoughts of what I might of did wrong?

I doubt it is anything on your end. Do you have vibrate & ring or vibrate then ring? What is your notification preference? I use vibrate and ring with Vision.wma ringtone and its working... for now.


To all...

I need to remove GAlarm. It now has a user-setup which does not work well with cooking into rom. For those who use it, you may need to add it to SDConfig as my rom is UC compatiable (and I probably should state that in first post... )

[coldheat06]

xWeaponx,

Thanks that seemed to fix it, that and plus I did another hard reset.

I would like to give the guy respect for function... I just couldn't get past the graphics.

I am betting you hoped I would take offense to this... but no. I don't care if 99% disagree with me. At least it looks decent to me. That flip clock crap is retro-wannabe. And it has never looked good and is only good for wasting space.

I didnt know this was a kitchen. I think he thanked those who provided the kitchen. Again, I don't doubt that he created something functional, but if he wants more people to give it a chance, at least providing more graphical options might get him there. You guys all thought this ROM should get more attention... isn't it sad that it is only getting more attention now that this round of disagreements is occuring? You can thank me if you want... because I am sure this thread will stay in the top list for a while.

BTW... I have tried a LOT of ROMS and NONE of them have held a candle to the erice kitchen. I have been waiting for someone to outdo it, but I have had to go back everytime. With that rom, I can go 3 days without charging, push services actually WORK, it is stable, and it gives theme options.

1. There are a TON of ways to change the graphics, ie, different themes and fonts. try searching
2. there are a fing TON of clocks out there. again, try searching
3. Did you not look at the first post? he thanked erice for the kitchen.... maybe reading a little more about what your slamming would be nice.

4. If you like the stock rom so much, why are you in a custom rom thread?
and more to the point, why are you even in a forum that is all about changing away from the mundane stock stuff that comes on these phones?

I have little problem with the way the rom looks. and the parts i dont like i change and move on. I dont be-little the chef for the countless hours he put into making it look how HE wanted it to look. As the chef himself said before, if you dont like it, build your own. If you do build your own, im sure a lot of people would post in your thread about how its not much different from stock. This Rom is just ONE option for you. Since you obviously dont like it, why even comment on it?

Well said. I've tried many roms and some I've liked, some I haven't, but there's no reason to just slam a chef's preferences on his rom. All of these guys put a lot of work, and time into these roms and share them with us. The least we could do is show them the respect and gratitude they deserve.

I personally like the rom alot, WeaponX. Well done, sir.

[aaron130]

Lets all remember one thing. These chefs make these roms to THEIR preference and they SHARE IT with us, FOR FREE!!! So to come in someones personal thread and talk down about it shows alot about your character. Ive tried plenty of roms I didnt like but I would never stoop so low to go in the guys thread and talk down about it after all the UNPAID hours he put into it and kindness to share with the community. SO I for one want to say thx to EVERY chef here for all their hard work and dedication just to make our phones ALOT better then they were when we first bought them!

I think it is YOU who needs to read. That is exactly my point. This is NOT a kitchen. It is a ROM. He THANKED the provider of the kitchen. Why don't you try re-reading what I said before you misquote.

Since when is the erice kitchen a stock rom?

I answered this question. My comment was to answer a question as to why this ROM wasn't getting the attention it "deserved." Seems it is getting a lot more attention now.

[xweaponx]

I really appreciate everyones feedback... both bad & good (as long as its tactful & enlighting)

Edufur...

Who are you and why are you here? This rom is not for you... (which I think I quoted as possible for some in my first post so of course I am in even more bewilderment as to why you posted, even to answer anothers question...)

Mightymike has a fabulous rom that has the HTC looks & feel I believe you desire and much, much more. Check it out.

Oh and next time, lets pretend there is a comment box...
Stick your pretend comment in this box, and I will pretend to read it and then we can all pretend it never mattered...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will be addressing a new theme possibility with the advent of the TP2 port (in both portrait & landscape. If anyone would like to post suggestions, please feel free to. However I will not create a complete theme for:

Sports (teams, players, etc
Anime
Cartoons
Video Games
Movies
etc

I am looking for something vivid and vibrant, easy to read yet semi-complicated.

Let me know...

[edufur]

Ok... so if you were to replace the one word I used... which started with an H, with "not to my liking," I suppose this whole thread would have gone a different route. I felt cheated in a way that it got all this praise, yet my only choice to see what it looked like was to burn it. Why couldn't you post the screenshots like most of the other chefs? If the graphics are such a high item of pride, be proud and post the screenshots. That should be a requirement of all chefs. I think if I were a mod here, I would require screenshots of all ROMS.

[aaron130]

Its his choice to post screenshots, jesus get a life would you, u have nothing better to do then come online and start trouble in forums? We get it you dont like it, so go to a thread u like already and STFU ALREADY,JESUS!
