rate my rom - Off-topic

Hey Guys,
One of the most hated questions on this forum is :What is the best rom for my device?" I've been here for ages and have seen that to be an issue from day one.
I really don't think its that stupid a question... so to tackle that I was thinking about creating Ratemyrom.com
This site would allow devs to post their Rom screenshots, videos, features and perhaps an acknowledged bug/issues list and users would be able to comment on and rate the rom based on a predefined set of criteria such as speed, efficiency, battery life etc... the individual polls will then be rolled up into an overall score summary creating the Rom Score.
I just wanted to put my idea out here and see what you all think about it.
Do you think this is something that is needed?
Is there something out there that does this that I am not aware of?
Are you willing to help with the creation of the site?
I have basic web development and CMS skills, I could possible do this myself using Durpal, but in order to create a fully intuitive site with a great UI the way I envision it I could use some help.
Fell free to comment and/or PM me your thoughts.
Cheers!

The main issue you will find is that xyz rom will run differently depending on user and device set up.

I dunno.... I feel I get along a lot better with some then I do with others. Some people just appear more open to questions and friendly and they are the ones I tent to feel more of a connection with.

oka1 is someone I would consider a "friend" on here... much, much more so than the "kids" on here who just ask a ton of questions (for no apparent reason) and those who troll.
I "like" all the people on here who GENUINELY seem to be here for the RIGHT reasons.
Not really. This community is just too big to get to know each other. If it was smaller then yeah maybe we would be buddies. With the exception of us metalheads. We will always be brothers, buddies no matter where we are \m/ another thing to add, most prople here are kids(immature). If not kids the're noobs who can't read.

If it wasn't for the "kids" on this forum, then this forum would be straight-out boring.
You guys are boring, the oldies, yes i'm talking about you.
It's like as soon as you became age 25+ you stopped learning to just "chill" and have fun. I'm sure you have fun in real life with people your same age or your kids or something, but without us here, this would be one hell of a lonely forum.
Some people need to accept that teens have smartphones, "OH I WONDER, WHY WOULD A 16 YEAR OLD BOY NEED A SMARTPHONE?!"
We like their functionalities. If you didn't notice from when YOU were a teen, teens are extremely curious. Don't act as if you were never a teen. You acted the same as us, and don't deny it.
SOME may be "over-dramatic"? or more immature, that i understand but immaturity is a part of being a teen, accept it or just gtfo.

Addiction

Damn you XDA. I find myself here several times a day, looking for goodies and news about my favourite phone (LG Revolution) the best freakin phone ever. I have you on my phone now, with a paid app. I just can't get away from you. I may have to take up drinking to pull myself away.
I like this site, because everyone seems knowledgeable. Everyone is nice, when you have an issue, they walk you through it, rather than talk down to you.
Thanks to you all who run this sweet operation. I click "Thanks" every chance I get. Thank you moders, without you our products would just flat out suck. I like the fact, because of groups like ours here, phone makers are more open to letting us open up their devices, and take out what we hate, and put in what we love.
Keep it up.
Here here!
This place is an amazing tool, social community and has become THE NAME in mobile device dev.
I feel you. I just registered this morning and will probably buy the paid app too.
also... i am an xda-addict too..
this site is great... it's all the necesary to life
For all you fresh faced XDA junkies....
Have a look at this thread and see what the future has in store for you...
The best app on my phone is XDA lol whether I'm at work or on the tube or wherever I'll check out the forums on a regular basis, some great people on here especially all the helpful devs.

I look forward to being full on ORD soon!

Bachelor thesis on custom ROMs

Hi Guys,
I'm in desperate need of you help. I am currently doing research for my first bachelor thesis concerning Android custom ROMs.
I can hardly say how grateful I would be if you could spare some minutes (definitely no more than 10) and answer my questionnaire. Its 11 questions long, so it should not be too much of an inconvenience. Also the results will be anonymously evaluated. If recieve a scientifically relevant number of responses, I would even translate my thesis for you, in case anybody is interested.
The survey can be found at http://edler.cc/survey
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate that.

How are would they put an adult's lung inside a 10 year old girl?
I realize that this is not a charity org site, which is why I'm not asking for monetary donations. All I'm asking for is a couple of minutes out of everyone's busy schedule to just sign a petition that could possibly help the child from my post above or any other child that may face the same situation in the near future.
Besides, the last I checked, this is an off topic forum.
Also for those that feel this is fake...that's why I posted the link to abcnews site. This was also on the news broadcast this afternoon. Check all the news sources online or offline and let me know if you find that this is a scam.

Even when petitions "succeed" they typically do absolutely nothing and the people who sign them go back to their lives feeling like they made a difference. If you really care about something then you need to call or write your representative and encourage others to do the same.
Also for those that are skeptical, the petition to Make Unlocking Cell Phones Legal received 114,322 signatures(including mine) and resulted in an official White House response:
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE RESPONSE TOMake Unlocking Cell Phones Legal. said:
The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs.

Honestly we do care and are very greatful for it, its just we needed that little bit more info on the source, as you may have seen its very easy for people to just claim they know things and post them publically and with tensions running so high as we are very happy about the device I feel many of us jumped to conclusions.

Take a chill pill, please.
My suggestion, dont use safe terms like:
"I work for a big media company"
"I cant go into names"
"If people don't like it i would suggest don't reply"
It sounds very fishy and not very convincing
FYI, there are haters everywhere
