What people do with it is their problem and I have 0 to do with anything that happens thereafter...



Please tell me that you didn't just say that. What you are saying here is like what Dr. Kervorkian used to do "I will give you the option to kill yourself", but I cannot be held accountable for what you do with it afterwards.



You yourself just admitted this







that the kitchens are not exactly a good thing and that people should learn how to do things from scratch. You are literally stating that this will not help anyone and could, in fact, make problems worse, yet you put this out there?



I certainly appreciate the fact that you are willing to contribute and give back to the community on whatever you can do. It certainly beats the overall attitude of "gimme gimme gimme more". But if you know that bad, moldy bread can give your child a stomachache, don't give it to him....

see there will always be people out there who want to 'cook' rathen than do any proper sort of software development....you cannot delete those people from the face of the world (unless you use an AK-47)this does not allow you to MAKE a kernel anyways...just for an instance... the kernel pushed out by my fave dev needs me to press the back button to go into recovery while booting... and my back button is broken... so i need to change the recovery triggering shell script and make it use say the power button instead of back button...for an average user, my kitchen can help do that in the shortest possible time with least amount of skills required...ok.. climbing the ladder up a little more...someone wants to overclock his phone... he gets the source, overclocks the cpufreq files required, compiles the kernel... now what does he have ?? a zImage...will that work on the phone as it is ?? no it wont... so what's needed ? a ramdisk..what he can do is ... use my kitchen, extract a ramdisk from another kernel for his device available on xda or somewhere... pack that ramdisk and his newly created kernel and use it...how about wanting to make ramdisk insecure and wanting to make adb mode persisitent ?? you again need to go into the ramdisk... my kitchen gives you a short method... (maybe not the shortest or easiest or best one )how about if your favourite kernel does not contain your favoourite recovery... but it is available for your device through another kernel...what i mean is.... now if any of those 4-5 guys i stated above in my example release "their" kernel on xda and claim to be a dev... well.. that's just a psychological problem with them....there are thousands of morons out there who create "their own" ROMs just be adding or removing a few apk and release them on xda (only to see their thread being closedyou can make bombs with nuclear energy, you can make electricity .. or you can just be an ardent student of physics and chemistry and use nuclear reactions to create new elements....but what you do is your responsibility and not that of Rutherford or Fermi or Einstein or Bohrand in any case ... if xda really wants to do what they mean by 'operation iron fist' .... i.e. take the community back to the developers ... we should be banning anything and everything that is not coming from source... (90% of the threads on chef central imho.. ofcourse including this one too)
