[Desire Android Development] Thumbsis:
Don't mind what most of the posters are complaining about --> basically all these issues are solved by following your instructions (e.g. installation procedure and not theming on your own) or reading more than just the last page of the thread.

IMHO the product (ROM) is working as it should, the users are just being lazy. Remember folks, this is a free product developed under Linux (meaning you have to do some of the work and have knowledge in rooting/flashing ROMS) and not a insanely priced premium product for dummies by Apple ;).

My thoughts exactly.

Two solutions:

1) we - the other users - answer also questions swiftly to those who ask (meaning we help MildWild in solving problems or "problems"). This has one major disadvantage --> some people won't read previous pages of the thread or search for a solution so we would have to answer the same questions several times. :)

2) although the opening post has info on the ROM, it might be difficult to understand for some and include too specific info. So somebody helps MildWild in writing a FAQ to the first page, e.g.

"How do I install the add-on files" Answer: Boot into recovery - install zip from SDCard

"What do these additional downloads do?"

Answer:

* GoogleTalk. Does not work from the ROM initially, has to be installed separately.

* BubbleSMS - basically some functions as stock SMS, but chat threads have grey bubbles in them. MildWild is not the developer of this program so he can't modify it. That means no mod requests will be answered. One disadvantage compared to stock SMS --> no delivery notifications.

* Beats - a sound enhancer / tool / widget. Google it ;)

Etc.

"Can I get this and this on the ROM?" - We'll see. This is a project I do in my spare time. I try to mimic Jelly Bean as close as possible with my own twist while still preserving a stable and fast ROM. So everything can't be included. You can try to flash mods on your own, but I will not support modded versions of my ROM.

"Is this the only version of the ROM available" - No, the ROM has been updated for over a year. This is version 7.0 - for historical preservation you can find previous versions here "(add e.g. Mediafire links)". Note that issues with previous versions will not be answered. Combining later add-ons with previous ROM versions might not work and could potentially brick your phone. Use them on your own risk.

"How does this MildWild ROM differ from Oxygen or Redux version?" - You have to find out ;). Well seriously, this is based on CM7.2. In addition I support/update this the most. E.g. Oxygen has been discontinued.

"Do you support Theme Chooser?" - No. This has been discussed several times and is also stated in the ROM's description in the OP. If you can't live without Theme Chooser use CM7.2 instead.

"Can I theme this ROM on my own?" - Of course, you can do anything you want. But on the other hand I can't help you if problems arise.

"Can I post bugs?" - You can, but before that: 1) read the OP and this FAQ carefully. 2) follow the instructions 3) use the "Search this thread" on the right hand side 4) when posting a bug, state which version you have (newest version only supported) and if you have made a mods on your own (delete them first and see if the problem vanishes)

Etc..​

I would prefer 2nd solution --> somebody writes down most of the relevant questions and issues and MildWild just copies it to the 2nd post (and updates it when needed). I think the 2nd post should be used for a FAQ - that way new users would notice it faster. The OP could then be changed if MildWild releases a new version.

@MildWild: you can use my text as a base if you would like to :)
