For Android ROMs, there are quite a few people actually working on the code and producing beautiful output. If anyone was being disrepectful of others' knowledge and work, it was you who was doing it to the number of hackers behind Android ROMs. If you want further proof, please see this: Gerrit Code Review

1. I never said that it was replacing dlls? I know about android build process very well. As I pointed out earlier, I have made changes in android kernel myself, so i donno where does notion of replacing dlls come into picture. and if at all some binaries are replaced, i would have thought of replacing *.so and not *.dll, because I recently only came to know that there are few libraries wrapped in ndiswrapper as well(Meh, I totall )
2. I can never ever be disrespectful to open source hackers, because I am one of them, so that point is moot. And you cannot snap at me in person for something like that.
3. No matter what beautiful work people are doing, these so called ROMs are still filesystem images and I have created filesystem images from scratch couple of times, so I wouldn't consider it such a great deal. The real good work comes from lkml.org where the real kernel code is written and everything is derived out of it. Not that I do not acknowledge the fact that utilities and binaries are not important, they are very much, but its still a user space code, which is pretty much do-able.

Whatever floats your boat Peace..

not sure if deserves another thread, but cynogenmod team has started its work already

That's excellent. I believe Mr Kondik has some grand plans in mind for CM. Not just a hobbyist affair you see. A company which OEMs license ROMs from. Won't that be sweet.

[initpidzero]

commercialization would definitely a good step, it will lead to widespread availability. Not sure how big is market though. ultimately this kind of stuff is only useful for hackers and hobbyist.

My money is in the DHD and the SGS2 getting them first..

(begun the clone war has)

[ManISinJpr ♦]

I think HD2 with its army of developers and code hackers will get this asap !!!
