Important notes:

1. If you want to say "Thanks!"

There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:

Press the "Thanks" button.

Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".

Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.

Advertise my work to your friends.

Rate my thread with 5 stars.

Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!​

2. Sharing policy

This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:

Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.

Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.

Give proper credits for what you used.

When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are

obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.

Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:

ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.

Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.

Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.

Please let me keep my threads design unique. I’m sure you can do something even better yourself!

​

3. Support

If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to post them in the respective thread. Due to my commitments in real life I can't answer every PM, tweet or facebook post.

If you want to get the fastest and the best answer - ask the question in the thread. Every month I need to remove about 1.000 new messages from my XDA inbox. I’m sure it’s better if I spend this time cooking new ROMs.​

4. Signature banners for users

Due to the increasing number of users flashing my ROMs we introduced some time ago 3 special groups of members.

Android Revolution HD Recognized User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by being active in my thread (or threads).

Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!

Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.

Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!

Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.

What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.

Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.

Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!
