[Q] theory roms

has anyone noticed that all theory roms go to a go daddy website any one know what happened to the original downloads .

Apparently he had some problems changing registrars or hosts, and the site got hosed ... or something like that. I believe there is some info at RootzWiki.

Last I recall, they were revamping their website and had a lot of trouble doing so. It may be possible that they temporarily took the site down until the issues are worked out.

Sounds more like DT is done with Dev'ing altogether for now.

Meh...they're their own enemy. The all jumped ship on every other current device out, just so they could dev the Nexus...and now it's not all it's cracked up to be.
Maybe some of them should have just sat back and watched the community implode on itself. Or dev the Gnex from the sidelines...and then when everything is perfect with your rom, release and then Boom watch them all say where did that guy come from.
The guys that have drama will always have drama in my opinion, or bring drama. Some people just need to get some thicker skin....
I appreciate all the hard work that goes into development of themes and roms but man oh man some of them need to take a chill pill along with that thicker skin.

Any other way to get Tpaks for Kin3tx rom. Bbox doesn't work. This is an awesome rom but would like to get ic3 back.

Stopping by and Saying Hi! Giving an update on my whereabouts

Hey guys!
It has been a while since I have stopped over here to the DROID 3 community and peeped a "Hello" in so I thought I would say Hi and get ya up to speed on where I've been.
So I last posted around uhhh maybe 3 weeks ago here and as some of you know I recently bought a Droid 4. I have been in the Droid 4 community for all this time, and a lot of people from the D3 community moved to the D4 like me.
Most went D3 > D4, but I went D3 > Bionic > D4, but nonetheless I got a Droid 4.
If I have to say anything the Droid 3 development community was the NICEST community I've ever had the privilege to have an experience with. I know I didn't have my Droid 3 that long, but in the short 4 months I had one active, I had my best experiences. I developed, I leaked updates, I never got b**ched at for asking a simple question (P.S. Droid Incredible 2 community) and EVERYBODY was nice. Still is nice.
I miss coming here. I seriously do. I reached out to this community for prayers for a personal problem, and I almost NEVER post anything about something as serious as that was when that happened with my nephew and his grandmother. I almost NEVER post something that serious but I had grown so fond of all of you I knew I could trust you guys by posting it. I was right. I will most likely never meet a community as nice as you guys are.
Even though I had bad luck with the Droid 3, I loved my Droid 3. If anybody wants a new phone, a Droid 4 is a great option. I love mine!
I wanted to stop by and say that I will try to come around here more as I know more about the Droid 3 and Droid 4 then just about any other phone out there.
I'd also like to know how everybody has been doing. Just to say, my family is fine and recovered from our bump in the road back in early May (or Late April; I have a hard time remembering the time period) and nothing serious has happened since then.
So I thought I'd post this and let you know about my whereabouts and say Hi.
Don't hesitate to respond!
--Sam

Things have definitely slowed down here.
I wanted the Droid 4 (don't think I can get it here in Canada) but what's with the back cover removal tool? Kills me.
I hope more keyboard Androids come out... I'm ready to move on.

Thanks for the update! And im glad your family is doing ok :] best wishes for your future endeavors, and thanks for everything you contributed to the droid3

I got my D4 from here for a good deal... so far it's been treating me well on Rogers!
You should probably do the same... Although the new swype is pretty awesome, maybe you could find a deal on the RAZR. I am frequenting the RAZR and D4 forums now also...

Goin with the HTC Raider! Should be here tomorrow. Woohooo!
Ill still be pokin my nose in the D3 forum because i have an archive of useful files (mostly for the xt860) and as we all know, the download links get broken fairly quickly

Maybe off ebay and then unlocked it, which is what I was planning on doing since they released that update which unlocked the GSM functionality.

LaZiODROID,
I bought mine off of here, on XDA in the marketplace. Then I loaded up the latest leak at the time, no unlock required! It just comes up and says unknown SIM when it boots up... Not a huge deal. So far it's way better, and it gives me better bettery life. I think the Bell XT860 really liked being on 3G, but this one doesn't mind going onto EDGE when 3G signal is bad (which is most of the day for me in the office)

I am waiting to WP8 to launch before I switch to WP, how do you like the raider? I suggested my friend to get one and loves it.

I swam with an HTC Incredible S in my pocket...

...and it didn't survive. Didn't think it would haha. Gonna miss it. Just wanted to thank all the devs and this community in general, you've kept this phone alive for so long and looks like new ROMs are still about to come. You've got an awesome phone, just realised that when i was searching for a new one. Gonna get me a Google Nexus 4 now, I'm just in love with the stock Android UI. Anyway, thanks once again, I loved the Incredible S more just because of this forum!

Yeah, sadly it's such a fail. And I'm gonna miss this great phone with 2 LEDs and rotating keys, but the Nexus 4 looks pretty damn sweet with quad-core and all, apart from that glittery-like back. Keep the Inc S alive, it's still one of the best!

If it wasnt in salt water you have some chance of saving it even still. I have seen a lot of phones dry out after a week or so and become fully functional again. give it a bath in methylated spirits for a few minutes with battery, sim and sd out of course. Give it a day to dry out and see how your luck is...But if it was salt your screwed, the corrosion would be devastating...

Ah yeah tried that but it was salt water... and water got in between screen... Sad, I will miss this phone it was awesome. But I'll see how the Nexus 4 does now!

I climbed Mt kosiosko with mine. All the iPhones up there froze. But not my trusty incS.

PSA: Galaxy SII now $199 on HSN

OK I have a birthday tomorrow and as a present I am moving on to the Galaxy SII (yes, it's FINALLY my turn to say that!). $199 was too good to refuse, especially with 4 flexpays of $50. Two years of battling the Exhibit are enough, wouldn't you say? Anyway I will miss the forum around here a bit, even though we've had a number of departures over the past year. If it wasn't for the good folks in this community the Exhibit would have been retired LONG ago for me. Frankly without a custom ROM/kernel it is a POS device. No other way to put it! At least we have one or two new guys on the block to carry on for those who still have this phone or just got it. I wish them luck. As for myself I can't wait to try all the things that are available on XDA for this device. Hope I don't flash more ROMs than I did for the Exhibit or I will have no life left, LOL.
Anyway for those who are interested, go here for the deal: http://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-sii-no-contract-smartphone-t-mobile/7334966
A couple months they ran out and just now got these phones back in stock. At that price I bet they don't have them for long.

Good deal. Glad you are getting something you want, it'll be sad to see you go. You've always been helpful, and generously shared your experience with testing and results. So for that thank you.

Thanks man. Unfortunately HSN just raised the price back up to $249, same as they have it on Amazon. Man glad I didn't procrastinate anymore like I always do. Funny thing is I watched the video presentation they did on TV and I'm thinking how many more they could sell if they promoted the fact you can root & get the latest ROMs out there. Of course if they did that people would know they can get rid of that bloatware! Just think of the poor sheep who will just keep stock ICS on it.

I think that rooting is beyond the scope of most people's interest. As it also voids any warranty, the manufacturer would be slightly against HSN promoting the practice, is my guess.

Oh yeah, sure that's part of it too. Sadly you're right, most people probably wouldn't want to make effort to make their phone better than it is. Too much thinking involved!

Which is good for me, as it means phones which have already been rooted sell for less on eBay. Saving me money and hassle.

They said 4.0 on the commercial and on the website. A friend of mine has one and it has ICS on it. No matter because it will be rooted and updated when I get it. Question will be whether or not to go with a 4.2.2 rom or KitKat. So many apps need to catch up to ART and the whole 4.4 OS system.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit running AOIP.

Yes. There still needs to be some development before I move to 4.0. I'm very interested, once the system had been around a bit. I don't usually get the x.0 version of any software. To many issues.

S2 has arrived
Well the phone is finally here so it's goodbye to the Exhibit! Thanks to so many who made the Exhibit a tolerable phone and were a pleasure to have banter/discussions with here in the Exhibit forum. Shout outs and thank you's to @camcory, @jocala, @Tim1928, @smartguy044, @bpear96, @detett, @tazmaniondvl, @meekwrb, @Dvarl, @CoolLoL1999, @[email protected], @jrleathers, @Bloodflame (aka "Flames of Blood"), @afwolfpacked (aka "Airwolf"), @cars1189, and @Jaws4God. @jfbs good luck to you, you will be the last salvation for this phone. @Proud2banoob good luck in learning the ropes!
BTW if I forgot somebody it wasn't on purpose. Now on to the hard work of rooting and finding a ROM for the new phone. Hopefully I will settle on one or two but if my experience with the Exhibit showed anything it was a penchant for being a fairweather ROM user!:laugh: I may stop by here every now and then too, afterall I haven't given the Exhibit away to anybody yet.
Lastly if it was one thing I got out of using this phone, it was to appreciate a really good phone once I got it.

hah hah! Congrats sir on the new phone.
I went ahead and plunked some coin for a Nexus 5. It has some sound bugs (some sound is fine with some apps and not others) and the vibration isn't as strong on key presses (but in other areas is fine and a tester app I found shows the vibration motor is fine). Meh, the speed just kicks butt! Also, having 2G of RAM is ..... awesome. The quad core ... anyway .. you get the idea.
I am still thinking of which ROM to put on ... I had cyanogenmod on my other phone and I loved it ... but they're not quite ready.
Take care and thanks for writing man!

It's really good to hear from you man, and yes RebelROM was hands down the best GB ROM this phone ever had. People here can testify how many times I went back to it every time I got frustrated with one of the ICS ROMs back in the day.

Lol I just came back from rebel Lol, ran great but I sure did miss all the features of newer ROMs. But I like that galaxy light as well quad core with 1gb ram sounds a ton better then this lol

long time no talk

Hello everybody!
Yes its been like for ever since i broke my HTC First and moved on and since then ive had an Atrix HD and now have a Red Nexus 5. Running lollipop.
But still i look back to this phone and still think this is probably the best phone ive owned. All day battery, great size and build quality, stock android. Yes development was always a minus, but still.
How is everyone doing?
PS: thinking of getting my sister an HTC First, its a pretty solid device hardware wise and she doesnt care much about software, she is using an old ipod touch and an ipad, shes tired of ios

Good to see someone else converting to the Android master race > lol. I agree with the fact that the battery generally lasted all day, but the lack of speed is what caused me to want to get something better. But yeah it was a good device when I came from a MyTouch 3G and then 3 Windows Phones.
Off topic here, are you seeing any drop in battery life on the official Lollipop update on your N5 compared to an AOSP version from a few days ago?

Haha I've converted to android since 2011 and my sister never likes apple anyways.
Miss this community so much, looks like everyone has left like Abraham and loir.
Um at first battery life was more like battery death but after a reboot and full charge I did manage to get my minimum of 4 hours screen on time. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get 5 hours.
I was thinking moto g, vs the HTC first, but I haven't found anything in it that is better than in the First. Especially for my sis who has really small hands surprisingly (she's 5 years younger but as big as me and I'm 19...)

still using my First and still hoping to get at least KitKat so that i can pair with android wear...
but looks like no luck and i have to change my phone soon.
:crying:
but seriously between first and Moto G, i'll get the moto G
at least you get official Lollipop support. 5 hrs SOT.
The 1st gen Moto G size is not that much bigger than the 1st

Yeah and it's sad because it didn't use to be like that. It's gonna be even worse when CM12 is released because they said that if a device 1) is not owned by maintainers or 2) can't cooperate with the new security measures then they won't support it at all.

Its like a more stable version of CM with more features brought over from other Roms but its not as crazy as paranoid android or aokp

I dont want to upgrade also, I know i'll miss the design of the First if I sell it

I agree, First is a great phone, stylish, great design and ergonomics, i will keep this phone no matter what. My daily driver is Moto X, 2013 model. I like to use my phone in one hand, never liked anything over 4.7-in screen size, have had Samsung S3, original Note, Note 2 and Note 3, traded them all, although i really liked S3 the most, couldn't live with the Notes. Htc First has become my backup phone. Previously, i used a Palm Pre Plus as my backup, but i finally traded it in.
