Hi
just wondering if there is anyone out there who is prepared to make me a custom rom the way i like it.
there are so many things for the sgs2 but so many roms are over done with the same colour or they have that nasty overscroll glow
i liked the black theme someone made but his requirments meant i had to have certain things to make it work, things i didnt want
to give you an idea, im a fan of stock look. im also a big fan of black and white themes
so if there is someone willing to give it ago please let me know and i'll donate a few $$
thanks Garth
I don't mean to be rude, but you're clearly a newbie here.
You simply don't ask devs to make custom ROMS according to your personal preferences. You can learn to do it yourself, or use one of the many available and awesome custom ROMS.
It takes much much effort to create and test a custom ROM.
Another point, if you did not create "it" then it does not belong in "Android Development" but in General or Q&A.
Here i made you a rom to your specs
gtda's Custom Rom
MD5: 1431431BAE34F3E3D41AB434
BASED ON KG2
instead of pointing your fingers on him, try to help him or if you can't then stop yelling at some one because you are not special or genius too. You also depend on this forum thats why you are wasting your time here.
mate here is your rom, this is not exactly as you want but its at least closer to your requirements

as per other posts that clearly don't belong in the dev forum, the OP gets the video.
we all are new to many things, if we are not able to help then we also should not point out fingers. Simply get respect by giving respect.

Seeing the op, I wanted so much to be the one to give him the noob video
lol! Good work tjjensen23
wow nice response
i guess being a 30yo man with a 6month old to take care of i dont have the time to sit down and make roms. i have tried nearly every rom and theme and i dont like them. back when i had a sgs1 a guy posted he would make custom roms for ppl, figured someone here mite do the same. if its too much effort, dont make me one, simple
ppl add too much stuff that is useless to me and looks unatractive and makes the ui look like a preschool child drew it
things ppl add that i dislike
overscroll glow
battery percentage (i use fancy widgets, it has battery percentage)
changing the wifi and 3g/H to green. i prefer white on all of them
i dislike transparency on menus. makes it hard to read the menu
i like having customisable ext menu
i dont like making all the menu items one colour, stock colours are fine
id like a aosp style lock menu, or at least change the message colour from orange to blue
crt off would be nice as long as its working properly
so as you can see there is no other rom out there like that
i offered to pay so its not like im being a cheap skate expecting someone to stop everything they are doing just for me
video was funny, so im not offended if thats what u were trying to accomplish

The posts are due to you not reading the rules i guess rather than the fact you have asked for a personal rom build .
Personally i dont care what or where you post as forum gone to hell in a bucket as regards rules .

I don't think your wishes are irrelevant but they may be a little unrealistic - poll 100 people in here and they'd all want something slightly different from their ROM. So building a ROM may be unrealistic given the other demands on your time, but learning a bit of theming - which is what most of your wishlist seems to be about - isn't and may be your way forward. You may even get a more positive response to your enquiry on the Themes forum.
You are getting the negative vibes because your post is clearly posted in the wrong place - this is not the place for questions of this type, as clearly stated in several places.
ok so i wrote it in the wrong section
move it then, im not a mod so i cant.
whats wrong with the world today, i asked a question and got smashed for it, instead of baggin the **** outta me, point me in the right direction
ive looked at every theme here for sgs2, none interest me. and i wont flash a rom with things i wont be happy with.
i honestly have hardly any time to learn how to make them, i work, i take care of baby, i sleep (very little) i work again. i get a few hours every now and then to mess with my phone, so far its just been flashing the latest leaked roms
if i had more time i wouldnt be putting this request out there, id try make one myself
like i said, u dont wanna make it, then dont
u wanna help ppl, then move my thread to the right section
i apologise i put it in the wrong section im a n00b after all

Lol a noob with more than 100 posts ...
You have the time to try each roms but don't have the time to try to learn by yourself.
You are ready to pay for it,it is your choice but please, just be clear.
You don't want to make your customROM ( others occupations)
You wan't to pay someone to do the job for you . the end

Find a ROM you like that's the closest to what you want. Then you could theme it using Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen. Hope that helps.

If you don't have then use the ROMs here or don't buy a phone your not happy with. Nobody will want to make a ROM for you. No time that is your problem. I am a noob too but I read the rules.
I guess you can wait for the public rom kitchen once available ( you proly dont need to wait much longer )
After that you should be able to learn just a few things about themeing or some1 will probably make a black white theme.
I understand that it may be easy for some1 experienced to make exactly the rom you want but i don't believe some1 will bother , having to deal with updates/bugs e.t.c.
Rom kitchen and a few themeing abilities is the most realistic approach as i see it
p.s. sorry for my miss-spelling , too many beers
Well someone out there was kind enough to make me one and is helping with updates. I had a look at what was involved in making one and I just don't understand everything. I look forward to the kitchen release coz ive used it with my sgs and it was great. Thanks to the ppl who actually helped

LOL at the reactions of people in this thread, the way u guys acted about the question is really unhelpful to him pointing him as being NOOB or whatever, the person made a mistake.. its a community to help each other, and even not a ROM MALL like u can buy ROMS as ur liking.. stop acting like "PROs" saying "NOOB" to others.. XDA is changed.. miss my hermes times..

If you want to get the most out of XDA you have to learn to help yourself. Things don't come on silver platters.

i did buy the phone im happy with
just dont like other ppls roms
none come close to what i would be happy with
doesnt matter now coz someone was happy enough to make me one

if i didnt ask the question in the first place id still be stuck with stock or roms that i dislike, so i guess if u dont ask, u never find out
I need a copy of the 'Belkin Compatibility' file for UNnamed ver. 2.2.1! The links to multiupload are not working! Help please! And this isn't junk this time!
I wouldn't help you just because of the stupid thread title you used. This thread will be useless to anyone with the same problem that actually takes the time to do a search.
I did research!!!!!!!!!!! I looked everywhere, and could not find the file! Know your facts dude...
Thread title changed to better reflect the issue.
Also, GTG sold his device awhile back but I thought he put up some more links. You might want to check that thread and maybe look back a few pages (within the last 4-6 weeks) and find your files.

Learn how to read, dude. I never said you didn't search. I said your crappy thread title will be useless to someone who does search who has the same problem. The mods have fixed your cluelessness. For now.
Well alright... Enough hate, i think we all know the problem now. And i checked the links, they don't work.

They do work but you didnt look. Since you decided to post in both threads at the same time, I posted the link in the UnNamed thread... and since you opened this thread for no reason, you get another infraction.
Thread closed.
I am confused as to why its ok to ask a question such as "What is the best launcher out there?" but when its asked "What is the best ROM out there?", the thread gets reported and locked. They are both based off user opinion. I will not "report" the thread on the launchers because that is Dumb to me. People ask a question for answers. Could somebody please give a logical explanation for this? It's a forum. People are interested in topics. As long as its in the question section, I don't understand the problem with asking a question.....
i hear you..and im sorry to say ..my opinion is it depends on peoples moods in the forum sometimes..sometimes its a superiority complex (SOMETIMES) if you ask me..
if someone asks a question that i might be able to point them in the right direction, i will respond..if not i just move on to the next. idk homey ...ive been hanging around xda since my captivate and its very useful..
if people flame your thread or close it, dont take it to heart, just rephrase the question lol...
i use apex launcher..ROCKS.. nova is also badass
and the ROM i use is ICS objection, i love my new phone thanks to this rom its clean smooth and no issues for me.. if you go down for this post im going down wicha brah!!!
Thanks

Much appreciation. I am on the OnlyOne HYFR B4 ROM and currently no launcher just TouchWiz that comes with the ROM...I been here since my Droid Milestone from Alltel but never really got involved til my Droid X. Don't get me wrong, I love XDA and all the help that comes with it, just thought it was a little crazy that they instantly hated on my thread. I feel ALL people and ALL questions deserve a spot. I'm not really taking it to heart..just wish it would have been given a chance like the rest of some of these threads. Thanks though for the support on what I'm saying..
no problem homey!!!
Ics=apex for options, and trebuchet for aosp feel, with few options, just fast.

Asking what the best ROM is, is not actually a bad question. However it gets asked way too much. A new member will pop the question when right underneath him is the same question already asked a few times. And of course as you mentioned, best is not the best for everyone.
But I would have to say the main reason is it isn't fair to rate and judge one XDA Dev's work over another Dev. They all have positives and yes some negatives. It's not like there are 100 ROMs listed. The first 2 pages of threads will tell all. The threads are rated and the number of responses are a good hint. And you will learn more by spending some time reading and searching yourself even if you only read the first and last few posts in a thread. You could ask that question and have 3 noobs recommend a ROM all because it looks cool and it may be the worst performing ROM ever.
The launchers are for the most part, finished work. And they are offsite Devs. Also there isn't a thread on XDA for every launcher like there are ROMs. And questions about launchers should only be asked in the apps and themes section.
Question answered, thread closed
The biggest problem with 'Best' ROM threads is that they usually descend into petty bickering, which is why they are reported and ultimately closed.
So i cannot see any threads at all when the forum skin is set to 2010/13 and Beta. Couldn login in the Xperia section for da last couple of dayz regarding this specific matter..i ended up bored and frustrated and started clicking everywhere on the blank page. Ended up changing the forum look and walah! the posts are visible. SO, my question! Is the forum upgrading or what? Why wont the other skins work? Kinda got stuck with the classic screen..and..i gota say..its not that impressive :silly: so lemme know if anybody got anything to share on the behalf! Thanks :highfive:
I'd recommend you to ask this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276306&page=525
Ahh! Thanks m8 .. posting em right now, bdw..arent you having the same problem? Or the themes working well over at your side??? How you doing bdw?? Whats new?? :highfive:
Work fine for me.
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
Working for me as well. Sounds like something on your end.
With the forums changing formats for the main page I can't seem to find an easy way to do something that was very easy before. That was when being able to go to the latest post in a particular forum by just clicking the date that the last post was created (today, yesterday... etc) on the main page for the forum. Now when you click on the topic you go to the first page of the topic and have to click again to go to the last page. Anybody have any solutions for this? Its not that bad but its a little annoying.

I am hoping its a glitch in the coding. Not a new look. its horrid.
I agree, I like the old look so much better.
Yep messed my layout. +1 to hopefully a glitch

I haven't been on lately because I've been really busy. I do hope they switch back because I'll be on even less if the layout stays like this.
The other one was so much better. And it doesn't make sense that the sub-genre forums still have the old look, even though the root forum doesn't.
Found out the person in charge of those working on the changes to the forum if you would like to message him about the changes from our Forum Admin. His name is @svetius .

Well, what did svetius say about your new forum format concerns?
Haven't sent him a pm yet. Just found out this morning. Will probably send one sometime this afternoon. Figured I would post his name if anybody else wanted to send him anything about the new look as well.

Thanks for your response. Can you give us an Idea of some of the Changes that are coming up so we can get an idea of what changes to expect. Also is there any way for us to change the layout to something else for those that don't like the new look? I was also wondering why the look is changing in the first place? in my opinion there was nothing wrong with the old look.
Maybe this will be helpful to some. You can locate this at the bottom of the website. I still personally like the 2013 layout lol.

svetius,
While I agree with the issue pointed out in the OP, I do like many things about the new look. For example, the way recent thread activity is displayed under each section. It would be nice to just click and get taken to the latest unread (or just latest) post in the thread.

Welcome to the HAM2 forum, fellow HAMster ....
First search to make sure there's not an existing thread that your question would fit into or an answer already exists.
Next, find the relevant section, such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general where you want to create a new thread, and use the "New Thread" button if appropriate, to start a new thread with your question.
Anyone experiencing issues with xda premium and tapatalk? Mentioned names don't appear and cannot quote others. Server related maybe, @svetius?
In one picture I highlighted one of my posts where at the beginning of the sentence I mentioned another xda member. On the apps its blank left with a comma. In the other picture is me trying to quote someone but as you see, its blank.
