Whats so great about Dutty's ROMs?

So, for those of us that are a little slow...
What is it about Dutty's ROMs that make people go CrAzY over them?
I'm looking for specifics. Why do people love Dutty's ROMs sooooo much? What makes them so much better than say Q-mobile or Alex's ROMs?
I just get the feeling that I am missing something that everyone else knows about why Dutty's stuff is so popular compared to the other ROMs.
There has to be a good reason... anyone care to clue me in?

Dive on in and find out for yourself. Some people don't like his ROM's others do as you can see. There are some really great Chefs out there and they all make really good ROM's. You should flash to see which ROM you prefer more. As some ROM's have specific drivers that only work with radio 1.27.14.09.
whats great about any cooked rom is tha the cook who created it shares it with us!!!!!
Theres nothing about, every cook on here is great. Every cook has their own style, the tweaks, the softwares...
But Dutty's is very popular, because we have alot of new members, they just learned how to flash, and now they need roms. Dutty's rom, has the the biggest threads, everyone makes it exciting, and the new members join his thread.
But I use Dutty's and Schaps, both great roms.
Hey sorry to drive this thread into hell, but does it take super C++ skills to do this or is it just "simply" putting things together then compiling it?
I didn't like Duttys roms BTW, I love what he is doing and I like he has provided us with some OEM CABS, but his rom isn't for me I liked Shaps because it came with a bunch of stuff to customize it to the limits.

Theres a rom tool now Makes cooking alot easier. To me its about making everything flow together, make sure one software doesn't mess the other up, and getting the right tweaks.
I've tried a few roms and I always go back to dutty roms he always includes applications I use and his tweaking has been really to my liking compared to others
dutty's roms are cool, but i perfer a lite rom and to put my own apps on it . i think most people like dutty's rom because they use the same apps that dutty builds in, + the speed! But, i perfer the highest benchmark results! thats what makes me choose the rom.
Dutty's rom may not be the best rom for you. But he is the most hardworking rom maker here and always comes up w/ latest software. In addition, he is very responsive to questions too.
i second that notion

I agree with raz and I also encourage testing other ROM's as well to find out whats best for you, and our attitude should be: show appreciation (donations or a thank you, people should know that making a ROM takes a lot of effort) and making positive criticisms of flaws; not to personalities ; that benefits the whole Kaiser community.
@ekw: Which lite ROM do you use?

hey i'm new to ppc and pda's. i got a toch diamond and using dutty rom v4. its fast and i like it. also just want to say thanks to xda. you guys run a very good site. oh one other thing i noticed is that my diamond used to have only 85mb storage space but after the rom update i got 115mb
Also fans of Dutty's ROM (Dutty's WM6.1 WWE), for me, just 2 words "fast and stable", like raz said, Dutty's cooked all his ROM well.
I wish he come and upgrading his ROM
beautiful rom...

First of all, please do not go digging on the grave yard, it disturbs the other corpses.
Secondly, since dutty has released a Kaiser rom in well over a year, isn't it time we close this thread. The Kaiser rom forum is cluttered enough without having to read new posts about how people with Diamonds and HD's love duttys roms

Sad farewell

Well all, the ride was great and I had alot of fun cooking the NTS series of roms. But like all good things, there comes an end. I have decided that it is time to move on from my beloved wizard and have purchased a Motorola Q9h Global. I wanted to thank all the chefs and users who have participated in my releases and in the forum in general. I wish you all the best of luck.
Hey Nottoosmart!
It was nice having you around! Good and constructive contribution is always welcome.
And i do know, that even if just to reminisce....u will drop by once in a while!!!
All the best with your Moto Q.
this saddens me
have tried your roms and all I can say is that you are a gem to this forum please try to visit us once in a while and please do try to contribute
Hi,
Thank you for all. Your first Rom was a fantastic step forward for us all.
Thank you
Sorry to hear you're leaving. I enjoyed your ROMs very much. You're a person of great talent, and I'm sure you'll contribute a lot wherever you'll be going.
Have fun with your new Q9!

bro this is my experience... after trying to upgrade to 8525 i still went back to 8125
this may not be relevant but I still find that wizard is the best thing that happened to me ... maybe i can call this a bug that you have given to me really like how wizard work aside from being sturdy... gonna miss you man
Thanks for everything
When I first found this site, and started to read and understand the idea behind flashing and upgrading - your roms (NTS) were usually at the top of everyone's must have - or dare I say, best roms out there list.
Wish you all the best - thanks again
Have a good one

Too much info?

I admit it! Im overwhelmed with all the information on this site. I would really appreciate the technical expertice of this helpful community. So far Ive installed HardSPL and im downloading roms from alex, faria, and thinkin about dutty's roms. Im researching on which radio version is the best for me and so far it looks like 1.47.30.10 from DR Puttingham's experience. Im also starting to understand that the best way is really to cook up your own rom but id rather start with a lite or clean version with great looks, speed, functionablitly. Im curious as to why I only see a few people cooking up roms when i know there are better chef's out there like...molski? again...what do i know..im just a noob.
so here i am asking the vast community their opinions of best of...
best chef? (not just for quantity but for quality)
best lite/clean rom?
best full rom?
most useful radio along with your location?
top useful programs?

You know you're never going to get a proper answer to these as everyone has their own preference not mention they aren't gonna say one is better than the other... Why not just try them all and see what you like?
And I think most people don't cook their own ROMs cause:
1) They don't want to learn how to, or
2) They don't have the time, or
3) Somebody else is already doing the hard work (and doing it well..), so why bother?
Personally, I think I'm a combination of the 2nd and 3rd, which therefore makes #1 redundant (for me)..

okay ... first of all you should really think about what you post before you post.
You can't compare the chefs because each one invests there precious time into our community here (WITHOUT COMPENSATION) and does the hardwork for us of making a rom that is better than the piece of **** our carrier shipped us. So in my eyes they are all the greatest and bestest. Choosing a radio is a trial experience you have to find the one you like that best suites your location.
And if you don't like what other chefs are doing get the dumped rom for your carrier and work on it your self.
this by the way is the nicest reply you'll probably get (not unless someone just won the lotto or got laid or is stoned .. .in which case they won't be able to reply ...)

Here are 3 outcomes:

There is no best, only what you think is best.
but most of people have their brains working will either go 1 or 3. So, put on your flame suit and start flashing.

Hi everyone,
Some news about my work : i stop creating roms.
My reasons : for some time, i try to integrate the new sys 19593 and 19700, without success, each time the phone freeze at boot.
I am tired, i tried several and several solutions, but no success. I stop my research, except if somebody can help me.
I sought too a long time, it is finished, no more motivation.
You have very good roms here : like Mona Lisa !

Quote...I think your roms were the absolutely a step ahead in terms of productivity...I also think that 19700 is not fastest than other XIP but it gives that good impression mainly because they have accellerated the scrolling...nothing more..
I was waiting for a NEO ULTIMATE version maybe with NEO WORKING in WM 6.1 and maybe with the Boot UP screen from MONA LISA (NOT the 19700 one) tha one with percentage which I think is beautiful to see and also quick in booting on the phone.
Whatever you'll decide I'm sure you know you have done a GREAT contribution to us, vox users, and also to XDA community.
hey man.. sad to hear.... i beleive that it is just because you are tired.. you wont give up? right????
Anyway thnx for your roms [i use it ]
and i found this phrase in some SYS porting Guide.. lol
Info: In some cases you will need to copy WinCENLS_WWE folder to SYS folder (if not present in Donor's SYS) from your original ElfIn SYS otherwise your device will not boot

Too bad!! I'm using your ROM with much satisfaction!!!
Fireburned, it has been an honor to chat with you and use your roms. I have enjoyed upgrading and it was because of you that I have enjoyed this phone so much. What you have done on here has been absolutely impressive and you will be missed by a great many of us. Thank you so very much for all of your hard work and time spent on the many projects you have contributed to all of us. Would hate to see such a giving person leave, but can understand totally the "I'm tired" aspect of it. Perhaps a vacation away from the software side for a little while, might be in order. Whatever you decide, I wish you all the best and do hope you keep in touch with us, whether creating or not. Take care my friend!

Well I have installed 19700 from Dr. Gonzo yesterday dont tell me it is not fast. It has a huge difference. I hope fireburned gets a solution.
Fireburned, I feel sorry for you. Frustrations indeed come from failures but remember that failures are the pillars of success. I think other cookers will be able to help you once they hear about your frustration. Rather we would like to invite Dr Gonzo, Hikey, Frauhottelmann and all other cookers to this thread to help you out. Anyway the final decision is yours. And finally many thanks to you for your invaluable ROMS which made our equipment a prized possession. Will wait for you to cook better next time.
Thanks

Well, as far as I am concerned for entering and in folders and other operations are also faster but obviously a Xip update does not update your processor

i moved to your WM 6.1 clean ROM from Dr's Monalisa 19700 ROM and i found yours to be more cleaner and more better base to add-in the big apps/games.
Dr. MG Started it all of the best Vox WM 6.x ROM's and you have upped the ante; we all suggest you NOT TO GIVE UP.

Cooking for the Kaiser?

Hey, one of my friends wants me to put WM6.5 on their Kaiser for them, and i'd like to cook up her own custom ROM for it if i can, but i have NO clue how to. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial and tools or explain how to do this for me? I really do enjoy doing stuff like this, and i'm a pretty fast learner, so it shouldn't be too much of a challenge for me.... i hope
Thanks in advance
Might be a good idea to read the first page of Kaiser ROM forum as you will find what your looking for.....
Also WIKI is a good source of information...
No need to make a new thread.

Anyway, thanks, i skimmed through and didn't see anything... guess that's what i get for skimming lol
Download JoshKoss and TPC noob kicthen and play with it. Cooking is not a simple process! It all comes through reading, flashing and some programming knowledge! If you do not have any clue about WM devices, then you are better off looking for a cooked ROM. Just my two cents!
I have an LG Incite myself, and i love to play around with stuff, i just odn't have a CLUE about HTC devices lol
