DCD, are you doing a WM6.1 rom?

For the xv6800? Your ROMs rock and I would rather wait for your release of WM6.1.
Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for the kind reply, being humble is a great trait that most lack with no exceptions
He answered by posting a WM6.1 build. What better answer could you have gotten?
A "yess I will?" would have been ok. Do you like to be ignored? it's not like I asked for a 2 page explanation.
So get off your horse for I am sure there is no need for an knight in shinning armor!
You need to pull your head out. I wasn't being rude just asking a question. Don't worry, I'll be sure not to help when you need it.

Assassins Creed 2 Rom

Hey I was wondering if there any Devs out there who would mind helping me develop a rom based on assassins creed 2 the game. I had an idea. A red colored rom with the Animated custom boot screen and shut down screen. If anyone has ideas please let me know. I will be in the.process of making this tonight.
How exactly is this a ROM? What you're proprosing is simply a "theme," you don't have to make a ROM to change the boot screen and shut down. That doesn't fall under the definition of a ROM.
Interesting idea, though I haven't played the game in a while and don't remember what animation you're referring to. As the other poster politely mentioned, it wouldn't be a rom, but could probably be a fairly simple metamorph theme.
As for the animations, if they're part of videos from the game, there's a good chance they're stored as bink files somewhere so you could download the bink player and pull frames to use for the phone animations.

i think he meant theme... you should not be so condescending - especially as a sr. member.
ask clarifying questions rather than be snippy with a "definition"

You shouldn't assume anything based on a person's amount of post counts. The number of post counts doesn't change how a person thinks. I don't need to CLARIFY questions because I'm stating it since it is pretty obvious that it isn't a ROM.
@ajftl: You're just upset because I criticized on your thread about Angry Birds.

No. We need to be as condescending as possible to people that don't understand the difference between a 'rom' and a theme' and scare them out of the Developer's section. This topic does NOT belong here, and their topics don't belong here.

Then why does XDA has a successful forum and you dont?
my only point was that even if it is the wrong section - if someone can help, then be helpful if not, then don't.
we were all new once and if someone hadn't gone beyond the normal flame and redirect then we wouldn't be here contributing or helping.
just saying, we should help first then redirect and not be rude and condescending.
Yes OP this is the wrong section for development - True, OP what you are asking is not considered a rom.
i was a sr member once and before changing my handle and i used to try to help as much as i could regardless of whether the question was in the wrong place.

Thats all I ask
No you do not have to be as condesending as possible. I know the difference between a rom, and a theme. I making a rom, with a whloe new gui. The reason I wanted to make the rom instead of just the theme was to test the vibrants HD graphics. The type of gui I want to make can not just be apllied by a simple visual style change. I love this fourm and I have been here for the last 3 years. This fourm has taught me alot of the knowladge about phones and rom development I know today. Im sorry I dont post much or develop anything frankly, because I just dont have the time. Please dont ever assume that because someone doesnt elaborate what they mean that their "stupid" or dont know what their talking about. Anyway, as for the rom, I have made some progress. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a couple of boot animations I could put in my rom, I was thinking one that would show Ezio behind a target and then leaping in to the air with his hidden blade and stab the person in the neck, then the next screen show the assassins creed logo and ad assassins creed rom. I have already made my gui and used an custom kernal to OC my rom to 1.2 gigaherz. Battery life is still a very big problem. Anyone have any ideas ?
Hey dady says, I love your pictire bro, that sould be googles logo. Lol.
sounds awesome, hope it works out for ya! i wish i could help with boot anims but i dont know how to make them. good luck~

All I gotta say is good luck hacking those .qmg files. They are what hold and run the boot sequence, and they have yet to be cracked which means you can't replace them.
The thread was moved to Q&A.
@all,
Wouldn't it be simpler to just tell the OP that what he wants to do is theme a rom and not make an actual rom, instead of a 2 page bashing?

The OP was told this and he still wants to make a ROM.
OP, its going to be hard to get someone to help you on such a ROM, since most people probably have never played AC or are not big fans. Good luck.

I have a question to you! Why did you root if you didn't know what you wanted to do afterwards? Rooting is not just so you can feel the "cool factor", and the vast majority of us know before we root why we want to do it, otherwise...................WHY do it???
Why did you bother? Your own answer should close this thread, and everything else you mentioned can be found by reading the forums!
No offense, but you shouldn't be rooting/flashing "roms" if you don't know what your doing.
It's very easy to end up with an unusable device.

Can anyone tell means about that rom pls.
I find your responses a bit harsh guys.. Are there laws / regulations on who can / should root, profile boxes that have to be ticked before one can decide to have a go at unleashing the full power of their phone?
Nobody was born with the knowledge, we all started from scratch at some stage. There are enough warnings that explain how to apply the root methods that are offered in the threads.

Ouch.......poor guy is new and gets slammed instantly for wondering what all he can do with his phone. I think we were all in the same boat not too long ago.
Yea, he may be a noob and not know the politics of posting before reading, but I bet each one of us did at one time too. What we should be doing is just politely pointing him in the right direction on how to learn more about all things root.
Such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972423 being a good place to start.
Understand though, if you screw up your phone, there is no one to blame but yourself. Read how to recover from a soft brick and hard brick before jumping in. Read all posts VERY carefully and all the way through. That's how I learned, and many others before me. And first and foremost, before asking questions about anything, do a quick search of the treads to see if it has already been asked and answered before. If you don't find your question, feel free to ask and ignore those that troll the treads.
Good luck my man.

I am running Gingerblur which is very similar. I think it is a great ROM and one of the few so far for the Atrix. If you like some of the Blur stuff such as the gallery and social networking items, you have to understand that you will be losing them with the new ROM and going with the stock Android gallery. However, if you do a backup of your current ROM before flashing, you can always revert back if you don't like it.
Big thing, screen shots help for me. And the ROM developers do a great job at giving the details of their ROMs in their posts or websites.

I agree, we all have to learn, but the vast majority of us started by reading through threads which have all the info about how to flash sbf's, root, sideload, flash themes, what is and is not possible, etc. We then tried things by following the instructions.
I'm not, and was not, trying to be a ****. I am however very blunt! Everything the OP needs is already there if he/she looks. The forums are full of "repeat" threads because people are basically too lazy to read and research for themselves before asking what has already been asked numerous times.

[Q] Help a noob out with rooting

Hey all, I'm considering rooting my Atrix since I've had it for a while and its awesomeness has worn off. I'm a complete noob to rooting so I dont really know where to begin. Is there a detailed guide for rooting the Atrix anywhere that would be beneficial to me? I know I've heard of a one click root for other phones, does the Atrix have one that is as easy as that? Is there any issues I should be worried about? I'll leave my system info below just for a reference...
Thanks!

[Q] Rooting question from an *almost* total noob.

Hi folks.
I came on this forum a while back to get my Bell Galaxy Note 717 returned to its former operating condition after Samsung buggered it up by putting ICS on it. I received a load of help and encouragement from some GREAT folks (who are a heck of a lot cleverer than me) and got my lovely phone back to where it was. Now, in those immortal words, "I'm back!"
At the end of the previous discussion, a couple suggested that — now I'd lost my phone-flashing virginity — I might want to try some custom ROMs and stuff like that. Whilst I very much appreciate their enthusiasm, I'm afraid that I really am just one small degree ahead of absolute noob and therefore I don't want to delve too deep into this stuff. However! I am quite interested in rooting the phone so that I can install and use Titanium Backup. So this is what I'm hunting for, please and thank you:
A copy of the ClockworkMod thing so that I can do the root.
The actual root file itself so I can install it with Odin (I believe it's called 'superuser' or something).
Any help you good folks would be willing to offer.
Just a small point, if I may; I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT ICS or another newer Android version. I'm very happy with Gingerbread and I'm staying with it. Stat. I respectfully request that you don't try to convince me otherwise, unless you want me to believe that you're a twit. You will doubtless, in return, call me a Luddite and I will not disagree. Card-carrying, fee-paying, life-membership Luddite!!
Anyway, there we go, that's it for now. I'm looking forward to all the flashing and rooting and stuff! Yeah! Thanks in anticipation of your kind replies.
Cheers,
Sandy B.
