All ROMS have been created equal and none are better than the other. They have not been placed in any particular order. I have only added mine first because i have access to the download links.

I have personally tried all of these ROMS and applaud all of the developers for their hard work

Requisite0 has created the awesome CM7.2 and it is located here http://androidforums.com/admire-all...om-cwm-kernel-cm7-2-rc1-requisite0-beta2.html

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE TO THE CONSISTENCY OF THE BELOW MENTIONED ROMS OR THEIR FULL FUNCTIONALITY
SOME OF THEM ARE CURRENTLY IN THE BETA STAGE AND THIS THREAD WILL BE UPDATED AS NEEDED WITH NEWER VERSIONS UPON AVAILABILITY.

YOU FLASH ANYTHING AT YOUR OWN RISK AND NEITHER MYSELF OF ANY OF THE DEVS MENTIONED BELOW ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR ADMIRE GETS BRICKED BY NOT FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS PLACED AT THE BEGINNING OF ALL OF THE BELOW MENTIONED THREADS....WITH THAT IN MIND.......

[Spikebob21]

You forgot a few... the beast is being one and the OC kernel needs to be with beats great job man!

 

[baby_jesus]

your links are messed up, and you should also put that miui and cm7 are beta only.

[imthaman01027]

T's great... one-stop-shopping for all your admire needs!
Thanks!

 

[myshkin]

Great idea! This probably needs to be made into a sticky so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle & end up on page 7 or something. Just saying.

 

[socal6107]

i agree ^ need to be made a sticky. this will more than likely be one of the most vistited threads on the forums. i know i will be checking in constantly

 

[gbiggie]

There is a sticky above ^^^
Been working on in all am-will be looking in here as well as the suggestion thread to add some more links:thumbup:

[SamsungAdmire]

[aboatright]

Not really.

who pissed in your cheerios? this thread is full of info...you been sh$#@tty with me for awhile...any particular reason why?

 

[SamsungAdmire]

wat.
Anyways the list looks kinda incomplete, also when was i acting pissy with you?!

 

[aboatright]

wat.
Anyways the list looks kinda incomplete, also when was i acting pissy with you?!

your "comments" say it all friend...as for missing something...well...that's why god made the edit button!! I am happy to add everything...

just list it out...I can download and post all new mirror locations to the originals to keep it up to date.

 

[gbiggie]

Since they are the same(the existing sticky has some links-your thread does also).
I will combine the two to the existing sticky. It's a little easier dealing with one document
As I had said before-if anyone sees something of importance that should be added to the sticky-please contact me via pm:idea:

 

[RetroDelete]

BUMP, I love this thread

 

[aboatright]

BUMP.....edited with a revamp of the look and added/changed links.
Also added mirror download locations for non verbous roms and included superuser/metrON/etc./etc.etc.

Hope this helps ..I will keep this updated as much as i can.

 

[aboatright]

edit.....redid a few links and added some new ones along with a small description.
