With all the great rom cooks out there, how come no one bothers to put games in??????

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!

NO THANK YOU ;c)

I agree with the guru and Dimitiri...
Games are bloatware..... Install your own. No worries of what is wanted and not wanted. Thats just my 2 pennies....

But keep this in mind... its all about the kitchen... PEOPL, ROM's are products of the KITCHEN!

Regardless of what kitchen, the ROM is the by product...

How can I get people to stop focusing on the ROM????? Focus on the kitchen.....

I don't understand why more people don't flash their own rom.

It's so friggin easy...

Especially with the kitchen explosion we got going on around here...

And I have 1 user that like my bloatware in my rom. And I play them at least once a week while on that tuesday morning conference call! It's a great time killer if you need them...

I guess the games ROM request by the OP sort of hit a nerve.

Probably best bet is to select your favorite custom ROM or Kitchen and install your games the conventional way.

As for TF3D... you probably Love it or Hate it. But for some reason it looks like most ROM cooks love it.

Im just saying, if your not happy try the kitchen. I beleive the kitchen is the real product. The ROM is a secondary.

ROM's are created to show you what the kitchen can do.

Thats what I tell my users.

You guys act like I requested to have 50 megs of games in a rom! That's not the case. However, I'm sure people want more than teeter. But I guess the best bet is to just load a .cab file of your favorite games. Even better, just learn to cook your own rom. As RS suggested, it's so friggin easy to do.

The phone has limited capability when it comes to playing games , due to not having a lot of hardware button, some games but not all games.

I think the other limitation is just the games itself. Sadly, I don't think WMO will ever have ti spectrum of games that are currently available on another well-known device (cough). That's probably just one of the reasons why games are not the focus of many customs ROMs. There really are not that many "must" have games out there yet.

The lack of buttons definitely make some games hard or impossible to play, but I'm still waiting for a decent accelerometer games... (like a driving game!!)

Just curious.

I still use my game pack on my Diamond, works great! I did have to add pocket video poker. And I went to make another and got lost in all the games out there. I did run across TOUCH_PRO_SUPER_ARCADE_BETA_V3_4.cab at xda and oem'd it up and cleaned it up a bit for common dupes and what not. Both are huge, but if you got the space, USE IT!

Rom Chefs, MAKE ROSE1 HAPPY!

IMHO games should not be included in ROMs. Games are a personal choice and one person may not like a type of game another might. They should be installed via .cabs, etc. after the ROM has been flashed. There's also this great thing called "User Customization" that will let you install all your stuff after you've flashed a ROM / hard reset your device.

any chance to get these games in cabs to install only what I want and don't have to ccok it in a ROM?
