I have a new TILT from ATT, US. I was hoping someone could provide advise on a lighter ROM (one without the ATT crap everywhere) that I could use. Also, if I do so, can I revert back to the stock AT if I need to?
Three Words:
Wiki
Sticky
Search.
Welcome to XDA.
Thread Closed.
Hey Jimmy McGee...
Why did you close my thread on ROM suggestions? I am so new to this and was referred over to this forum by the owner of another large site that handles other phones. You said: Three words...WIKI, Search, Read or something to that extent...Why? Al I was looking for advice on what I should choose, not instructions on how to install or anything really technical. Instead, why not try helping rather than closing threads...
maybe because there are just so many threads that ask/suggest the exact same thing?
i guess you must find out for yourself.
every rom is different, nobody can tell you if its great or less great. its the same for buying a new car. everybody tells you different things.
think about it, and try some roms. take your time
if you read his response you will answer your own question.
I waited 6+ months before even posting on this site coming from Howard forums strictly because of the name of this site. You could at least respect when a thread is closed to put some thought into it. You should also try to education yourself a little before creating more spam threads. The mods have to sift through enough of it as it is. Where you came from and who sent you is irrelevant.
Thanks da_mafkeez...
that's all I wanted was a suggestion. Isn't that the point of forums? As for the other weenies, I will so try to be a better boy...
Because everyday someone gets their new phone and asks the same questions, its a pain for the mods and members to have to tell people the same things over and over. Check out the wiki and stuff at the top of the page it will give you just about every answer you need. When youve read through it all and still cant find your answer then try starting a thread. It wont drive people as crazy around here.

There is a neat little function in the site called "private message" for something like this. Please do not disrespect the mods and and forum by creating a new thread after yours has been closed.
Ya know what...
if there were as many members responding to my requests for help as there are these, it'd be great...

then we will be just encouraging this kind of behavior
Here's a little friendly advice...
The reason that so many people are reading and replying to this thread is because you are having a go a one of the forum Mods. The Mods on this site are respected by all other members; they uphold the Rules of this site (found here) and ensure the forums are clean and easy to read by everyone:
From the Rule Book said:
1. Check if something hasn't been asked before

If you have problems with a Moderator or the Rules, bring it up with the Mod in question, or another moderator or even one of the Site Admins.
Don't feel insulted by the fact that your thread was closed, and don't make it personal (Rule 8 ). It's not the end of the world.

As i've stated many many time in the forum to noobs who complain that we don't answer their questions...If you asked your questions in the correct manner, and put it in the right place, then you will find the people on this site to be very helpful to you. If you insist that you are above the rules, and choose to disrespect the forum, the mods, and other members then you will not find it to be a welcoming place at all. There are not many rules here, but those who have the knowledge that you seek expect those few rules to be abided by, and as another use said, if we answer your questions when you intentionally didn't put it in the rigth place it only reinforces the belief that the rules don't matter.
chill up dude - we are all one big crazy family here
closing a thread is a tough decision to be made but some times a mod need to take it for the good of everybody
maybe next time if you want to ask specific question or a individual advice (try using Personal Messages), in couple of occasions i sent personal messages to mods asking advice/opinion and they replied me promptly but if i had posted my queries as thread i am sure they will close 'em up...
back to your question - there is no best answer to what is best rom because i will say 50% is personal prefrence and 50% technical details so nobody will know what is best for you expect one person - YOU - cuz u can judge them for ur use and ur prefrence
best wishes bro

I think I feel the hammer coming on!
Does that mean it's "hammer time".
Oh crap, did I just say that. I need sleep

Dude, AllTheWay has shot me down twice & moved one of my posts. Am I crying about it, NO. He did that because I didn't follow protocol. It was a learning experience for me & probably some other people who saw it happen. I'm not pissed off at him for it. I apologized & thanked him for teaching me something. Your thread was probably shot down because someone else has already asked the same thing at some point. These guys have been here longer than us & know a hell of alot more than we do. If you're still reading this at this point, I should feel pretty inportant for keeping your attention this long. I wouldn't @#$% with the Mods, Admins or Seniors on this site. They know what they are doing, that's why they are where they are!
Well, terrapin69, If I offended you. I'm sorry.
I hope you stick around this is a great place.
Now to answer your question, Why did I close the thread?
I think others have covered it. I respect your opinion. But please respect mine.
It wasn't meant to be curt, but more to be efficient.
Look at the Sticky Roll Up Thread. Read The Wiki, and Of Course Always use search.
Just note, Asking "what Rom is the best" is so subjective that there is no answer.
I have the reasons why. If you want to know most of them, just check out the Rules here.
I appreciate your eagerness. The Kaiser is a great device.

That was actually my first thought when I clicked on this, that somewhere I was going to see AllTheWay's Hammer graphic somewhere in here before long.
To answer terrapin's original question: ROM selection is entirely a matter of personal choice, and there are so many options that the only way to really tell which is best for you is to browse through the ROM threads, read the features of the ROM, look at the screenshots, and if you like what you see, flash it. If you don't like that ROM after flashing, find another one.
hey guys. DO you know where i can get cracked GAMELOFTS i wants coolest game... please let me know.
Cracked apps are warez which isn't allowed on here i suggest you delete this quick
so... where can i post it?

Not on XDA.
As you have found out, XDA doesn't tolerate warez or warez requests, so please don't ask for warez anywhere on the site.
Please read the forum rules at http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=530 before posting, as I notice you are new to xda, and think about the ethics of asking for free access to something which has cost lots of money to develop.
You want them? Buy them.
Most of them are crap anyway.

.... and just a little addition regarding the ethics,... the reason we are so anti warez here is simply that if we as consumers do not purchase software and games legitimately, hard working developers (more so the independent ones) could simply decide to pack it all in,... We'd be truly stuffed then.
EDIT*
To not seem like a spam post, I decided to simplify this. If you are a developer in need of a mirror with ftp access, you can e-mail me at [email protected], If this post is violating the rules of this forum, please delete it. I just wanted to contribute in some way to the forum and developers since I myself have no where near the talent and skill that many of the developers have in this forum when it comes to programming with android.

Hello,

PM me if your interested, If you are a known developer around the forum, I will give you an FTP account with directory info for linking. Unlimited storage, and Unlimited bandwidth. Please do not upload anything unrelated to this forum! My domain is www.massivemirror.com, The main page is currently under construction, But I wanted to offer it up to you guys first, Since I know you developers really need it (and I cannot stand multiupload/rapidshare/megafail)

Wrong place to post. Thread closed.
I don't understand why the current trend with some devs & members is to post download links forcing you to install the 'unfriendly' Telegram app & join a group when there is already a section & thread on xda for that!
If Telegram is rewarding them with some money, then I have absolutely no problem with that as these guys are giving us, leechers, free roms, softwares, etc
Am I missing something or what?
I find it extremely inconvenient.

Those kinds of posts are supposed to be reported. It's against the rules to post links that require a user to install software or register an account to receive the actual download.
The Moderators here will handle that if you report the posts. View the forum in a browser then look around the border of each post and you'll see a yellow/orange triangle, click that and make a report. This is how you report posts on XDA.

I know, but that's where the problem lies. The devs doing this are excellent & make one of the most stable roms & kernels. It'll harm the community if they are reported! And I guess this can demotivate them from building further roms which we don't want.

They have to understand that they don't make the rules around here. Report those kinds of posts, it's against the rules. PERIOD. End of discussion.
The Moderator that handles the report will set them straight.

I am not new to XDA, but I am new to the Fire HD section. I have been reading a lot of posts and I have to say the mods/admins are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Especially sd_shadow.
I just wanted to say thanks in general and thanks in advance because I will likely glean so much information from this part of the forum after my HD 10 arrives tomorrow. :good:
Also, please take note that I am not kissing a** here because honestly I am kind of an a**hole. LOL
Kudos to the crew and the members here. :highfive: :good: :good: :good:
This is the general section so I assume it was safe to post this here?
I just wanted to say thanks

Just donate a few bucks to xda
I've donated to devs before and I've also surfed XDA without an ad blocker since opening an account. It's the least I could do. Sometimes reading that someone appreciates you is as good as monetary rewards.
