1. things to keep in mind as you are exploring this forum

1. Read the stickies as they contain a lot of information.

2. Search for an answer before you make a new thread. A new thread is usually not the way to go to ask a question. If your question has to do something with a rom, post in the thread of that rom. Or, you can post your question in this handy sticky.

3. If you want to post something, by all means go right ahead, but make sure you are doing so in the right place.

4. Please do not ask for ETAs. Developers have lives of their own, so give them time.

5. This is NOT the way to go about these forums.

2. popular roms and kernels

syntax: [kernel base][baseband][labels][name][discussion thread if one exists][developer]

Roms are labeled as [OB] for old baseband and [NB] for new baseband.

Roms are labeled as [P] for performance, for battery life, [F] for feature-rich, and/or for simplicity.

Kernels are labeled as either [P] for performance or for battery life.

Roms are only to be used with kernels that have the same kernel base, although some roms and kernels with the same kernel base may not be compatible with each other (for example, not all .35 kernels work with ICS roms).

7. recoveries

Clockworkmod (uses edify): This is a very popular recovery and seems to be compatible with many zip files.

[P500] AmonRa (uses amend and edify): This is a very popular recovery, is compatible with many zip files, and seems to be more stable than CWM.

[P500] TeamWin Recovery Project (uses edify, not sure about amend): This is an increasingly popular recovery. From my experience, this can flash zips and make backups faster than CWM and AmonRA. Plus, there are a lot of customizations and uses a touch interface. The only downside is that the last time I tried to flash CM10 with this recovery, there was some kind of an error.
