You're pretty new here, whereas I've been away for quite some time. Perhaps things have changed since I last frequented AC, but in the
Rooting, ROMs and Hacks subforum folks post root methods, software hacks and (wait for it) ROMs. To elaborate; as a courtesy, individuals post direct links to ROMs so others don't have to scour the deep dark web to find what they need. The [ROM] prefix in my title is there deliberately, as a searchable keyword so one can come into this forum, advance search for [ROM] (titles only) and voila! A concise list of ROMs available for a particular device.
Here's an example from the forum I used to frequent, the GNex forum
ROM search
The people who made these threads are no more affiliated with the ROMs they posted about than I am with CM.
I happened to notice no one started a thread on the new Cyanogenmod 10.2 build, so I did so. I had no justification beyond that, and was not compensated for this thread. Quite the contrary, I've donated to CM in the past for their work on the HP Touchpad. My sole motivation was to increase awareness of the ROM in this forum, to assist others who are struggling with finding new ROMs to flash.
