Cooked ROM (Hey JimmyMcGee)

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.

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.

ABOUT THE NEW RADIO G1/MyTouch

Yep its official. I have posted this MULTIPLE times in the new radio thread but people are still
talking like they know whats up when in fact they don't.
Look at the top of the forum at the stickies. Hope this helps settle some nerves...
Tmobile forum
Happy flashing

Figured it would be posted soon on their site

This doesn't really need a new thread.. it would fit nicely in the thread already devoted to this radio.

Actually I posted it in that thread plenty of times and people are still talking about how its unofficial and what not.
So please....contribute something useful to the thread. Thanks.

i have no data. they are not turning off data for people with different radio firmware are they? weird i just read this and my data went out. calls still work and i rebooted too.

Good thread. People tend not to search so if they can simply look at this thread they will have their question answered!

He posts again just because no one listened to him the first time.

He is posting to get his point across to visitors of this Forum and newcomers of this Forum. Instead of searching, which new people don't do, they can easily read this thread title and have their question answered.

Just what we needed then, a newcomers special thread in the developers forum. Should have been posted in General as it has "nothing" to do with development. In fact it is just a link to a general Tmobile forum.

I can't argue with you here anyway, it should be in the general section. But still...

Thanks for the info, but how do you know the radio update posted in the other thread is actually the same OTA update mentioned in the T-Mobile forum? There's really no way to confirm that unless T-Mobile specifically mentions the radio version in the build info.

Think about that carefully.
What can you get off that T-Mobile Forum?
What is the name of this Thread?
What does the Radio do? not specifically but in General
It modifies your phone
So since this Dev Thread has a whole bunch of mods for your phone (ROM's For Instance.), I am pretty sure it belongs here.
I hate it when people don't think about what they say before they say it.

Bite me. One of the virtues of this forum is supposed to be that they actively encourage people to search before posting.
But please, encourage laziness and stupidity, it's awesome. Everyone loves reading 1100 page threads where 900 of those pages are questions that were already answered.

And that is partly what the report button is for ............thread moving........the user is notified that it is the wrong section by PM and most likely they will learn from the mistake.
People would learn a lot faster by that instead of smart comments by wanna be moderators, not speaking of you in general, you are very helpful.

I would think that commenting to the OP, and reporting it would be the most effective. Otherwise the OP might not realize why it was moved (do they get notified if their thread is moved and why? I actually don't know).
Not that it has to be a "smart comment", but just to tell the person why its wrong. Like seeing someone drive the wrong way down a one-way street: Its just better for them and everyone around them, if you tell them what they are doing is wrong. It doesn't make you a wannabe cop.

When a moderator moves a thread the op does get an automated email and recently there was a change so that we can ad a comment to the pm sent as well like
"Your thread was moved to Q&A please post in the appropriate section in the future"
By the way thread moved to Q&A

Post Roms in the Development Threads!!

I don't get why the D850 General thread has so many Roms posted in here. Can the Moderators please clean this up? Much appreciated.

The threads in the general sections are all the porting efforts of a non native English speaker who solely created an account to share these roms with us, as he typically only uses Google+, and others were having trouble posting for him. I imagine he didn't realize they should be in the other section. That all in mind, i agree the moderators should probably consider moving them to the development section. But it's not really hurting anyone, as this forum is a bit quiet of late anyhow. If the mods haven't deemed them worthy to move yet, there is probably a good reason for it. Just, try and ignore it for now, ehh?

And do we really need a thread stating the obvious...as stated above the dev speaks Spanish and has did us a favor. I am sure movement will eventually take place.

Alternative to TEKHD ROOT DISCUSSION

I just want to start this off by saying no drama or any info that does relate to rooting or unlock our s7 edge bootloader

On hold

Forum moderator locked the previous thread for a reason. Opening a second one is not cooperation with their decision.

I know that. I read why they shut it down. Forum rules state that there should only be one topic created at a time.
By you creating a second thread because the original being locked are intentionally breaking that rule.
The moderator stated, "This thread is closed for a while until members read the rules regarding conduct"
Nobody except mods have the right to decide if such a thread should occupy the forum.
As a former moderator I can tell you that breaking a forum rule in effort to circumvent a decision made by a moderator is not taken lightly.

You don't need to break forum rules to know that you cannot (to date) unlock your bootloader or root your device. If you want to continue discussion then do so by other means in accordance with forum rules. Otherwise, dispute it with the forum moderator(s) that closed the thread in the first place. You're not cooperating with a moderators request and it can earn you an infraction if you aren't careful. Trust me as a former moderator I speak from experience.

So.. is this where the drama went?

Thanks for the warning but ill let this continues in favor of freedom....i also add a poll to see members opinion on rather or not this should be kept open or close

Seems legit to me. The clock on returning devices is running out. Anyone know if the international version works well with T-Mobile?

Negative there is no continuing/alternative, from the other Thread. Why would you open this thread, seeing the other is Temp Closed.
And btw there is no freedom via XDA, this is a private Forum, that you signed up to belong to, and you also agreed to the Forum Rules.
Thread Closed, and please do not open another, as this will be my only Warning.
