[Epic 4G General] AmericanJedi001:
Example Outline Model

Introduction

This is where I tell you how awesome my new ROM is: AmericanJedi's SuPeR-MEGA-sweet-ICS-Candy totally rocks! It has all the features you want, and none of the crap you don't. It's built on a foundation of win, with a bit of profit and unicorns thrown in to guarantee you'll like it! I know you've never downloaded a ROM from me before (because I didn't make one before!!!), but this paragraph here is where I'm doing my damnedest to convince you to try it.

Features

Awesome Sauce

Unicorn blood

Baby tears (but only the happy ones)

Automagicalness

mkasick's Keyboard Tweak -- (Oh **** son, now you know it's good!)

Existing Issues

Umm, did you not read the Features list?

Oh yeah, it's only built on ICS. I'm still hacking Google's servers to get Jellybean.

Fixed Issues

Now with ICS added!

"Auto" added to Magicalness

Baby tears sync'd with CyanogenMod repository

E911 works better than EpicMTD CM7 -- Dials straight to the State Police, no messing around with local yokels!

Removed CIQ from GPS firmware

DISCLAIMER

Some of my methods are... questionable. If you think I can be held responsible for any adverse effects this ROM may have on your phone, you are sadly mistaken! Please be intelligent enough to learn the ins and outs of the techniques described below and use some critical thinking skills before blindly jumping in head first. You have been warned!

Installation

-- Full Wipe Method (Nothing is saved from current ROM or user data!)

Do a Nandroid backup from Recovery and/or back up your apps and settings!

Do a full memory wipe (Cache, Dalvik, and /data partition) in Recovery

Smash your screen with a hammer (WARNING: it's made of Gorilla Glass, so you'll need to hit it hard! Wear safety glasses.)

Be sure you have a full charge before flashing! Use a modded charging cable (simple way: cut the end off) and connect directly to a 220v outlet

USB is waaay too slow, solder a SATA connector directly to the motherboard

-- Upgrade Method (Your data and settings should remain intact.)

Do a Nandroid backup and/or back up your apps and settings!

Do a partial memory wipe (Cache and Dalvik) in Recovery

Drop your phone repeatedly, increasing the height by two feet on each successive drop until your screen has the desired number of cracks

I can't think of anything funny for this step

Breakdance.

-- Caveats (Stuff I think you should know, but doesn't fit elsewhere.)

Nothing comes to mind!

I'm that damn good.

Bullet point #3!

Thanks and Acknowledgements

Thanks to pawitp for creating the topic that was the inspiration for this example outline, and for allowing me to copy from him: [ROM][ICS][ITL41D] teamhacksung's ICS Port for Galaxy S (BUILD 9). His well-written ROM post is what mine is based on.

Thanks to codest3r for his suggestions.

P.S. I may have gotten carried away with the whole "be funny so they'll like me!" routine. If you don't like fun and would prefer this whole thing be as serious as Stephen Hawking at a track meet (good analogy, right?) then post below and let everyone know how boring your life is. Wait, that whole postscript came out wrong. Let me start over...
