Hi..

I dont take offence at all at your valid suggestions..

Unfortunately in this case, I can only make excuses...

I'm as you might know, a Doctor rather than a programmer (However I do know some amount of programming, having taught myself, out of an interest), and dont use computers at my present place of residence, which is actually a hostel at Thrissur (Kerala, India) where I'm staying while preparing for my Postgrad exams.. Obviously, computers are a distraction, so I chose to not carry any over there..

I made this Rom while being home for Easter vacation and have to return back tomorrow. So, though I'd like to, I dont have time to correct all the errors in the website. I did try correcting the major pages, replacing "StarBurst" by "Supernova" which itself includes editing a lot of html, search and replaces etc. I've corrected some links, but editing a website itself is a task for an organization. Other than being associated with Sibere for the Data2SD scripts (I myself have to spend a lot of time tweaking and finding any bugs too and improving it, with Sibere's help and suggestions), there is no one else to help with Rom development, website or anything else including bug testing.

I wish I had more hands to do everything, but with the limited resources that I have, this is the best I can do. :) Once I return to hostel, I wont be having a PC and cant do anything more.

I debated a lot before opening a site for the new Rom. I neednt have made it, but thought people might be confused if I post links to SN on the site for SB, not to mention it would mean a complete website overhaul (a project requiring days/weeks). So what I did was to import the SB website into SN (with a lot of help with DNS and hosting from C0urier, who has graciously hosted everything for free, and offered a lot of help with the task without even a minor complaint). There are bound to be mistakes (a lot of them), but I believe the main Rom page, and Download link page is correct. Other pages have just been modified with Search and Replace. I couldnt do more because there were major bugs in this Rom and I was constantly reflashing, for around 72 hours.

Once again, I accept the suggestions thankfully, but have to apologize that I wont be able to correct them for quite some time..

However I am happy to announce that StarBurst will be getting major upgrades today (or tomorrow).

About SuperNova's ETA for stable upgrade, I wish to explain once again that the Rom I've released is completely stable and includes a lot of mods. Though we have great kernel devs like snq-, nobody to date, has succeeded in activating ext4 function on the stock (or snq- modified) kernel. Hence I had to do a roundabout way of adding support for ext4 by including the older snq- Froyo kernel. This renders some functions of the Rom buggy-esp Camera, Video and Graphics. The kernel patch occurs at the time you flash the Data2SD installer (which has the older kernel built into the flashable zip), so reverting this kernel (which is the cause of instability) is as easy as flashing a good kernel.

But, happily, once someone releases an ext4 GB Sense kernel, making the Rom fully functional (and better than any GB Sense Rom out there) is as simple as flashing that kernel. No modification to the Rom would be needed..at all.. You data would never be lost, and the switch would be painless.

So, use SB and stay tuned... for a kernel to arrive!

Hopefully snq- will continue to thrill us.
