Our intern Aaron Martin put it eloquently: "The best way to get something hacked is to say that it's unhackable." While certain phones might be a bit easier to root than others, even the "unrootable" phones like the Droid X and G2 have been rooted by the fine folks over at XDA, so I wouldn't worry about the supposed rootability of a phone when you buy. Someone will root it. I'm convinced those guys at XDA have super powers and are unstoppable.

Why do I have a feeling that the more XDA gets mainstream, the more !d!0+5 we will have here? Methinks the admins might need to implement the noob controls sooner rather than later...

All they are trying to do is not lose devs. There is no moderation in the off-topic really. There isn't much to moderate other than randomness and ADD driven posting.

Well...
I have to agree with that. Devs need more protection. Maybe we should have a different set of usercodes for devs... Only they can start topics in developement and they have absolute rights to delete any post in the threads they started

[Q] has a rotary style dialer been made?

It has been made for the lockscreen but I think an actual dialer would be pretty neat to have.

wanna know what I did after I read your thread that you took time to create? I went to the market on my Samsung captivate Sgh i897 and typed "rotary dialer" and downloaded the first free one that was displayed. Do I give a rats ass about your ignorance. hell no. you mean nothing to me

Why can't you reply with respect, and be more informative?
Obviously not everyone who comes on here is as 'tech savvy' as others, if they need help, help them. Its called a community for a reason..

this... i like, thank you.

lol...ahaa...nice!

lol tech savvy? u telling me that a member of a cellular telephone device development community is not as tech savvy as others? I help by responding "market", which is correct location btw for a rotary dialer, and you say members of this community aren't 'tech savvy' enough to understand that?
and in addition, someone other than the OP bashes me because I didn't physically push the damn application to his phone? think if the OP had responded first with, "wow, really appreciate ur help in finding the location of a rotary dialer". would we even have wasted this much data and finger muscle energy on the unlimited range of data that is the world-wide-motha jumpin-web?
I'm over the tech savvy argument. he wasn't asking for a ported version of an i9000 3d rotary dialer with a midget that gives bj's. he was asking for a simple rotary dialer.
anyone else pissed at the world today? feel free to take it out on me right now cause ignorance is for non tech savvy people and I'm definitely tech savvy.

My parents had a rotary dial phone when I was growing up. It was hard to dial when I got older as my fingers would not fit in the holes.

HipKat's Custom & Stock Wallpaper & Lock Screens

Some of theses are NSFW, so be careful where you are when you click on the link.
These are sized or the EVO, 960 x 800 for wallpapers and 480 x 800 for lock screens, but anyone can resize images. I figure, so many people ask me for the ones I use on the threads for showing your setup, I'd just make them all available.
A lot of these are just stock, and you've probably seen them before, btw...
There's a few hundred more when you click on the links, and I'll probably be uploading more all the time.
Next, I'm going to work on some more contemporary structural images.

Off-topic phone bricking stories.

Hi guys! So as the title says, what are your 1st words when you brick your phone? And how did you brick your phone? Were you just installing a custom ROM normally? Or were you drunk ?
I guess this thread is just for fun. So good luck guys.
I will start: how I bricked my phone?: I was experimenting what happens when you mix 4 roms together and flash it.
What were my 1st words?: oh shiiiii........
RULES:
If your 1st words were swearing please censor it like this: *1st letter*£@# so like t&£%
Thanks
Good luck
