Im using a theme, but i disklike what the chef uses...but im struggling to find posts which themes.
I like agents gasoline theme, just something that fits well with sense but isnt too fancy.
any cabs or links would be great!
does nobody else use them, do you just use the defaults that come cooked in roms?
I'm getting tired of all the knock off roms that are all the same.
There are a few "real" devs that make good roms. But then a lot of people cooking roms, and just changing some pictures and stuff with no additional functions, or borrowing them from someone else's rom.
Roms with added apps or themes should go in the theme section, cause its not a new rom.
Post and vote if your tired of getting rom spammed.
.
I'm not looking to fight but here's a real simple question...are you a dev? Are you contributing anything to the betterment of the community? If your answer is no then you like myself probably shouldn't throw stones. If you're unhappy don't use any of the available "spam" as you call it. Stick with your Sense and call it a day.
Just my 2 cents.
I would have to say yes. There are tons of knockoffs.
I had a whitey comment about a developer and rom that was a knockoff of Cyanogenmod's rom but I think it is better left unsaid.
PS: I don't think this belongs in this section but then again it does. So idk I wanna see the results of this poll.
Agreed, alot of these roms are just the same with diffrent apps and themes....they should be moved to themes and apps and stay out of development

sounds like your mad that CM7 isnt out
im furious also
but comon unless you develop a rom then how about you just logout and delete the favorite from your browser.

personal attack removed. I guess you don't understand "community". Just because you don't dev a rom doesn't mean you don't take part in where the development goes. The OP is correct. There are alot of confused people who create roms that are themes. I have no issues having these roms if they simply stated they are themed roms. These types of roms should be moved in to the theme/apps. The development section should be Roms the deliver something different then the theme. Startup scripts. Modifications to the framework etc. We have a great community. I personally agree with the OP.
I guess why this is here.
There is a sticky about The General Public License. Yet we have plenty of devs that don't actually release what they are changing in their roms. This is as if they own these rights when they don't. To further development Developers should be releasing changes they made to the framework. What was changed, how it was changes, and how this change effects the phone. I don't see it. I see things like "Changes to the framework", "Other changes that I am missing" < How does this benefit anyone? This is an open source community. Maybe we should be more "open"
IMO

I can't agree more with lithid. There are two others out there that seem to be taking lithids and making their own thred. Most are themes and shouldn't be in here. I like to test for preludedrew and lithid based roms but I hear the same complaining. Gps, whens 4g working, hdmi.
Just because you take another devs Rom and update it nightly doesn't make it your own. I personally gone from not understanding Android to recooking roms but why should I post it then ask for donations. Donations should be to those truly developing the roms like CM, Lithid, Prelude and so on.
I certainly don't want to start a war on this but its sickening to bounce from thred to thred and see the same stuff just different title.
Said my peace.. thanks to myn, lithid, CM, and prelude. Of course to all those that help them too.

Yeah, I know, my cyanogenmod knockoff sucks doesn't it...
Just kidding
Well a lot of phones dont have roms or good roms, so even if some roms copy at least we have people giving to the Evo community.
The more roms the better is my thought.

This thread is essentially pointless. Opinions are like aholes, everyone has one. This thread belongs in the q&a section, not development. Ironic the very thing complained about is the same thing occurring here. People are sharing their creations, like them or not. If not, don't download them. No good is going to come from saying people are all being copycats. I'm sure you feel my ROM is another useless creation as well, a 'knock off'. That's OK with me if you feel that way, plenty of other people like it. If you don't like it, don't download it.
Android is all about open source, this is why I have made threads like THIS ONE and THIS ONE so that others can see exactly what I have done and how to do it themselves.
Have a nice day
Ive taking the best features,tweaks etc from 4-5 different roms and made my own sweet rom but I wouldnt dare post it cause it's not my work, but that being said if proper credit is giving to the Devs is this really a issue??
Better to have too many than not enough. Even if they just change a couple of things then, imo, that could spark further creativity or development.

You should ask the devs too. I think if a dev copies the whole rom and just basically theme it they shouldn't ask for money. But if they actually add features why not.

I don't think they're knockoffs. Even the "knockoffs" take a great load of time and effort to make them. The Devs aren't always looking to please everyone and often make ROMS because a small group has asked them to. Competition is NEVER bad
More roms to chose from is better. Not all developers want to add certain tweaks consumers demand. For example the power bar tweak and etc... this post is useless and doesn't belong here.
OP if you don't like the variety of roms then don't read about them or even become curious of them. Don't waste pointless space in this forum. Thanks.

there are just sooooo many "custom" roms out there right now and its hard to find things sometimes.
Can we get another section under development for kernels, aosp and sense
that would make it look alot prettier

X2 on all of that!
If you don't like it, don't download it....I like the freedom to choose. My friend has the incredible and gets mad that he doesn't have as much to choose from as I do.
i want to make rom custom for my love. But i don't know how to?
maybe somebody help me, please.
You can't just "make" a rom.
May I recommend MIUI or CM7?
If you really have no clue how, I don't think I'd try just yet. There's a lot of learning involved... I'd start with apps and move up from that. There are plenty of resources to be had, just search XDA and google. That said, you'd better be very determined and skilled if you want to put together a ROM. The master behind Cyanogenmod is extremely talented - and got a job based on his work. Just look at how few ROM creators there are compared to how many people develop apps... Then note that few if any of them do it solo. If it were easy, there'd be a lot more ROMs out there
i have started this thread because, like a lot of people i guess, i cant get my head around all the custom roms avalable
Well.. I was in the same boat a few months back. You just gotta read up on a couple of ROMs and see which one takes ur fancy. Just flash a couple of ROMs, play around with it and see if you like it
Im currently on ICS Slim.. love it!
Been on ICS Slim, and many other customs, and for some reason, sooner or later I keep going back Stock.
Hydrogenics Rules..
You missed MIUIv4
For the millionth time
Best ROM threads are banned. There is no best ROM, try them for yourself

you could have just posted in this thread:

There is no such thing as the "best" ROM, so the premise of this thread is wrong.
Read. Search. Flash the ROMs yourself, then go into that ROM's thread and make a meaningful post about your experience.

Whats up fellas/gals. Im somewhat new to xda and havent posted all that much on here so im not sure how many of you know who the hell i am. I developed in the old days for the nexus 7 and galaxy nexus. Finally got the g2 and got the itch to start building a rom again! I am asking for any of you talented themers out there to make some high quality Evolution wallpapers. I am asking because wallpaper is not my fortai. All credit will go towards you of course for the wallpapers! Please do not get hurt if I happen to not pick your wallpaper for the rom, I am a pretty picky guy when it comes to neatness. I am looking for some clean looking wallpapers like the rom OSE features or GUMMY rom! Much appretiated and thanks for reading!!!
Mods you can move this to general if I happened to have posted this in the wrong section. I figured I would get more traffic through here...
