Important LiMod poll. Please Vote!

[droidman101]

Using cyanogenmod source will save countless weeks of changing AOSP to your will, CM has those changes. if you don't like something in cm source, you can always change it to optimize it, it usually only takes 1% of the time to optimize cm source for you compared to doing all the AOSP changes. ALSO, any mods other devs do that are included in cyanogenmod are included in their source, so you don't have to code them yourself.

So the poll is 127 AOSP, 38 CM at this point. Taking into consideration 928Droid's statement about HTC files being in the CM source, I think the 127 of us that voted AOSP (made for the DROID) are in the right. It is true that it will take longer to write all the mods into AOSP, but couldn't they just "kang" some code from CM and still use a ROM that was actually made for our devices.

Where did you find that 1% figure? Is there a source or is that a guess?

My source is from hanging around the devs, if you notice 2 of the 3 lithmod team devs voted for cm. The reason would be clear if you joined their irc channel.

So I guess I missed who the devs are besides JRummy.
Who are the other devs?

The community can already get CM based ROMS all day long. The community is flooded with them.

Whats the draw? A fancy name? 25,000 options? A little tag that says "Fastest and Smoothest ROM out"?

It's already being done.......

There's a certain satisfaction from building something from the ground up and the community is looking for something "new." The poll reflects this mindset.

Take a look at how Sapphire has taken off. There is something to be said about AOSP that can't be denied.

Not to disappoint everyone. but the team of 9 members sat down yesterday and decided to go ahead and use cyanogenMod as the base. keep in mind it wont look like cm or even be like cm. but frankly the team wont be able to add the features from cm wanted we dont have enough time nor the experience needed. it will still be made from source and it will still be as fast as ever. just think if we use cm then we can make a better ROM then CM and we can also make cm better for their users. don't think we are using the whole cm system cause we are not, we are using pieces that will help improve LithiumMod. thanks for your understanding.

So, what was the point of this poll?

So, what was the point of this poll?

well im not sure. JRummy posted it yesterday cause i think he was mad or upset because the rest of the team wanted to use CM as the base and wanted to prove a point. later he said he was fine with using cm as long as we made it our own.

This thread needs to be closed since the poll was useless...

 

[Bdog]

Well.. I guess I'm glad at least ONE of the devs give a damn what his users want...

i would say that all users want a good rom. and what we are going to give them is a good rom.

What you're giving them is CM with updates, and then claiming it's yours. If you want to work off CM base, work for CM. Like cereal said, we have MORE than enough CM-based ROMS on here as it is. It's been overdone, and over 3/4ths of this thread go to prove we want something fresh and original. Who cares if it's been done, it'd be nice for it to be done differently. you want to give us a good ROM, but there's a handful out here already for people. Why not give us a NEW ROM??? Basing off CM because they've already done things is just a lazy way to go about things. As a graphic designer, I don't base any of my work off someone else. I go fresh and original every time, without adding "my twist on things" then calling it mine. Why paint over a Picasso? I'm not going to take the easy way out and add to what already exists if I'm good enough, or want to actually learn how to do things on my own, or expect a single ounce of credit toward originality. If I do something similar to something else, there's plenty of people who felt they had to settle with the other that will gladly accept mine because it better fits their needs, and I'm sure there's plenty people in this community who are tired of having to settle with CM add-ons as well.

cyanogen and his team of 15+ people have spent 3 years implementing what the have. if you would like to spend a year of your life adding a few CM features go ahead. im not lazy nor is the other members of the team, we think logically.
