Challange to all the rom chefs

Basically PPCGeeks and XDA, then google. Each thing i searched for was after digging around and seeing i needed one more key, then i searched, tested, hacked, failed, took a break, came back etc. I am horrible with documentation, but i do try to share info. Especially whenever I learn something new.

Many here will recognize "Unified Rom Project", and others will do a search to figure it out.

one of the first posts I made a few days before they collaborated/unified on the U.R.P. (my earlier pm's not linkable)

I'm not so sure that subtle or not so subtle hints would make this happen again, nor would it necessarily be as good a thing as it might have been previously.

At this point it doesn't seem like there really is much left. My phone can do just about everything but hover 2" over the ground when I drop it. (and I'm working on that already)
I think it will become a recurring theme of old chef's retiring while new chef's each take turns holding their 5 days of fame. I did it for a while myself, thanks to BigJ's excellent documentation...hmmm wonder where he's at these days...

compliments to the chef

lol that's a nice quote you got there

[Raging Idiot]

thanks. It serves me well.

Perhaps I should have asked before I added certain tagalongs...

If someone can give me the code to put links from the names to paypal accounts I'd appreciate it. I want people to be able to click on the names to make donations...or go to any suggested html location.

nah... it's all good man!

Not to say thats bad but just how creative are you really how much work have you guys really put in these roms outside of searching for pre-made kitchens and oems .... alot of you guys use no2chems kitchen for your roms thats cool but the oem for that rom and kitchen comes from a clean rom that I made months ago ...... My challange is ... Do you guys know how to make your own kitchen ? Do you know what can and can't be stripped out of the rom ..... If a new official rom was released tonight would you guys be able to clean it out yourself or would you have to wait until someone doe's it for you . What I have seen so far is alot of you making rom where the only thing you change different from the next guys rom is the page pool ..... Have any of you guys ever explored other sites to see what people are doing with these roms ... If not I seriously think that you should search other forums and check out the various roms that are out for different phones ..... This is where I get the idea for my roms I work and search and try out different things to get what will make my rom stand out from others..... Like I said not dissing just wondering what you guys can do on your own ..... I've also noticed that alot of the Vogue users are fairly new to the ppc world ......... I WAS NEW ONCE MYSELF AND I HAD TO LEARN ON MY OWN FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE ..... If it was not for COLONEL DCD DOGGUY SFAURVE NO2CHEM And a ton of others I would not know anything but how to download a kitchen and search the ftp for oems the add them to my pre-made kitchen and wait for my really simple rom that will only work sometimes ...... Like I said don't take this the wrong way

I agree with what you're sayin JD, you and many others are obviously on a higher level. Yes, taking someones elses kitchen, ROM & throwing in your favorite OEM's is not difficult at all, but for alot of ppl, even thats too technical. I would love to learn the ins & outs of dissecting a ROM, but my problem is time, just not enough time. Hell it takes me 2 hrs just to catch up & weed though posts here @ ppcgeeks. I have an extremely busy life, so searching for this info is half the battle. If I knew exactly where to find the info, it would save alot of time.....so here's my challenge, why not start a thread that has the links for those that want to learn. There's obviously alot of ppl that are wanting to take it to the next level, why not have a central thread, instead of scattering around the net.

I like the idea of a central thread, but I think the n00bs would infiltrate and start doing this 17234812037410234 threads on the same question (like they are already doing). I think the central thread would (sadly) become a lost cause.

Yeah what I wish is that if I start a thread I could go thru it and delete the post that are irrelevant to the thread ...... But I think you and Raging Idiot are on to something .........

Jak,
I think that's an excellent idea!
Can't the moderator do that already?
That should be standard for stickies.
Absolutely, the thread starter should have edit privileges over his thread...

That would be a great idea! I also think that we should have additional mods (someone that can weed out the upgrade forum from all the n00b-created threads). Can we hold an election?

It's frustrating for everyone NOT to have it this way!

I think this would not only allow the "Power Chefs" to work more efficiently,
but also give the 'noobs' access to tailored information, free of the misinformation,
irrelevant posts, and threads that lead to nowhere...

DJ

I might add that a responsible moderator could,
with the concurrence of a select group,
delete threads that just don't add anything or any information to the forum.
(I hope this doesn't sound too much like Orwell's "1984")
