wow wtf now im dreaming of ROMs and Chefs??

Very strange, and it was my first dream in a long time, let alone ever dreaming of a phone or software lol
so in my dream i had an in-person discussion with NilsP about his ROM about how i think he should add the 5 latest apps to the transparent dropdown. No biggie, 10min convo
Now im warped a few days later and im at like a BBQ party, and i meet someone and start showing him my phone and a few ROMs i had on backup
I pull down the transparent dropdown and see some chrome looking skulls, with red glowy eyes ... 5 of them across the top of the dropdown where the apps would be!!
So i say wtf is this? Maybe i never really broke in NilsP's ROM and its just now initializing or something??
Now the phone reboots itself and its some chromed skull theme, and the 5 recent apps are in the dropdown!!
In my dream i was kicking myself trying to figure out how the hell this ROM all of a sudden had it! Or did NilsP find a way to hack into my phone and add the feature i begged him for??
Last thing i remember is being puzzled and stumped, then i woke up
stupid as hell, but thats it lol
go ahead, flame away haha

I'm curious, what possessed you to believe this was in any way related to android development and not general discussion??

I swear I was not in your dream and I did not touch your phone.

It's the truth. Just take a look at the number of off topic posts in this forum alone each day. There are the best devs on xda, but along with that comes some of the dumbest posts I've seen on any forum.

I was trying to find out why anybody would be interested in whether or not they sounded like a "noob" in their first post.
And at the risk of setting myself up, I'd have to say that I'm genuinely confused.

You are going to draw unwanted attention from a mod so I suggest you stop doing what you are doing in the fashion in which you are doing it. These restrictions are in place for a reason, mostly to stop spam posters.
Read this first please:
[GUIDE] How to be a New User (and not a noob)
If you have any other question afterwards you will know what to do.
One other thing. Is it so much to ask that you read for a bit first, pick up some knowledge and experience, help a few people in the 90+% of the site which is completely open to you, to participate with quality posts instead of BS posts, in return for being able to post into any of the ROM threads from any dev on this site?

Yes. You also don't get away with spamming for ten posts. Read this 19 times.....
Good day sir.

There are already so many threads here in OT that you can post to for your ten post, it should be extremely easy for anybody that takes one minute to look. Use the 'game threads' like last letter and similar word and such. Problem solved.
EDIT: Mods, why not make it so new users can't start a new thread until the 10 post limit is reached?

Well I obviously wasn't recommending he do that for purposes of being able to spam dev forums!! Its not like I am telling a secret loophole or anything, what I said to do should be common sense to anybody except the OP right? If it's that big of a deal then new users shouldn't be able to post in OT either. I'm just saying that's better than starting a new thread with no topic.

Yeah I appreciate that, but in general, most new threads created by new users have already been created plenty of times before. I done it myself, so I know that.
Granted, it's not an ideal situation but at least it would solve the issue, to a certain degree.

To the OP...I would suggest you visit a few forums. We have tons. Get to know the site and the community. Make some helpful posts and contribute to the forums in a positive way.

I say, OT posts count for your post count, but you need 100 posts to even see the link to the OT forum. lol
