Thoughts and Prayers to Colorado

I just wanted to take a minute to say my thoughts and prayers go out to anyone in and around Aurora Colorado. I'm not sure if anyone on XDA may have been in the theater or near it, but God bless all that were.

M_T_M closed the last thread saying it would lead to gun control arguments or something, although nothing like that was ever mentioned. He asked nobody create a new thread about it so just a heads up he will probably close this one too. That said, I have been thinking about the families and those affected all day. I have a friend that just moved to CO and first thing I did this morning was call him because I was not sure what part he had moved to exactly.
Edit: Wow at your speed test, that's amazing.

If it needs to be closed all is well.. I just felt like I should do something. The thing I hate most about this life is that stuff like this happens and there's usually nothing you can do about it.

Believe me we appreciate the sentiment.
I was going to allow it and monitor for any trolling/inappropriate response however I must respect M_T_Ms previous decision and follow suit.
Of course we are all deeply sympathetic and our thoughts go out to those affected, however I would not like to see such a poignant and well intentioned thread ruined by trolls.
Once again though, thankyou for the sentiment.

I'll try to make this as short as possible. I'm involved in a media propaganda war with TLC, My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding and The Gypsy Sisters and their third rate reality stars over the slander and misrepresentation of me and my people. As of now, fans of theshow and a couple of the stars of the show have actually made a hate page about me at
www.getalifejackpearce.com
I have a page on Facebook called Jack Pearce Fan Club that someone made for me to show support for me. I've been accused of a lot of things falsely. It would mean a lot to me if since of you could stop by and just like the page for me. These shows are complete trash and are making a mockery out if me and my family and I can't take it any longer. Thanks everyone.
P.S. They own iPhones exclusively and think they are the best phones made.

I was going to say, most times when someone makes a thread asking to like a Facebook page, it usually gets locked pretty quick. But since you mentioned those you are against are iPhone fanboys, I'll consider it.

I appreciate it. You don't even have to like it. I wasn't fishing for likes I promise. Just some support. But if it gets locked, I'll understand

If you're so seriously offended why have you not used a serious medium to wage your "war"? Obviously litigation comes to mind, arguing over facebook is rather juvenile in my opinion and it seems to turn "causes" into fashion rather than actually accomplishing anything.

I understand your point. But that's not how gypsies do things. We like drama. Lol. Appreciate your advice though

And it is amateurish for sure. It's mostly meant to offend me and insinuate lies as truth. I'm am a romanychal, or Gypsy as you would call me. The show is very degrading and we have done everything we can to stop it. I guess I just wanted a place to vent that wasn't biased. I appreciate the moderators letting me go this far. I really love xda and its members for helping me to enjoy my phones the way I want to.

To say gypsies love drama, despite the fact that you are one, doesn't make it any less racist.

[Q] Walkman widget. But with different background.

With all the tech genius on the forum I was wondering if anyone could change the stock Walkman widget a little. Basically it's a bit out of place on my home screen with its dark background as all my widgets have no background.
Could it be changed to clear? Before its mentioned, no I don't want to use a different widget for it. I like the Walkman one.
I'm running Xperia Launcher 2.0.5b found on the forum. I can't find the link to the thread again though. I'm on a C6603, 4.1.2, locked bootloader.
I'm using the launcher as I like the extra little bit of customisation over the stock home. But would go back if needed
I hope someone can help.
Thanks

I am bitterly disappointed with the lack of knowledge. Maybe xda isn't what people make it out to be.

Just because what...? This is a forum, for people to share, request and discuss mods. Seems every other twat round here demands and gets... Thought I'd give it a go.

OP, this is not what XDA is about, please read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16682226&postcount=2441
Let me quote certain points about what you are minsunderstanding about XDA developers:
XDA is and always will be about the developers.
XDA is not a place to come and make your phone cool.
XDA IS a place to come to learn and share your knowledge. If you are not here for those reasons then you are here for the wrong ones.
I have watched XDA become a place where every dumbass in the world has a smartphone and comes here thinking they have the right to anything. Well guess what? You dont have the right to ****. We share it because we want to and we dont if we dont feel like it. Are the Developers or the Mods required to make you happy? Nope not in the least. Wanna leave. Go ahead. I beg you, please do. The less people that are asking dumb question cause they dont know what they are doing (this is understood when your new, but at least look) or are too lazy to look for it the better.

If no one responds your request, that does not mean they lack the knowledge in doing it. Demanding things will get you nowhere. If no developer wants to do what you request, then move on. Xda is not about doing what people want developers to do.

So people should have to be prompted not to act like an entitled noob that stamps their feet like a child if they don't get what they want?
How about they should just behave in a decent manner to begin with?

And in what way have I stamped my feet? Might I remind your highness that everyone is a noob at some point.

Even though I was talking in general about your suggestion that everyone should need to be told how to behave properly (they already are, by the way, in the forum rules, read them), is that a proper way to behave when you're asking for help from people that work for free? Or even the proper way to behave in public? I think not.
As for everyone being a noob to begin with; that does not entitle anyone to behave inappropriately and ***** and moan if they don't get what they demand.

"The only winner is Windows" That was the conclusion of the article, because appearantly M$ has enough patents and licences to cover all makers of Windows Phone - Capacitive screens or not! So Sammy and LG "could" produce Windows Phones and pay MS their cut and call it a day

The reason why we'll never see the end of Android (well at least in the next 10-20 years) is that the market share is so paramount. Such an event would have so many economical consequences that the governments would step in before anything would happen.

It'll also be held up in appeals for years. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure this would only cover OEM keyboards that come pre-installed. I really doubt that it would affect third-party apps like SwiftKey. Worst case scenario, there will end up being some kind of technical workaround that approximates current usage but skirts the patent. There's no real reason to worry about this.

I have yet to see a single legitimate source try to forecast doom and gloom for Android as a result of this development. Let's not collectively freak out over some blog post on a meaningless website.

Sorry but this conversation belongs in the Off Topic thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434020
This does not have any development content towards the Sprint S4.

The XDA Stereotype. Is there one and what's s/he like? Share your thoughts.

I was wondering the other day and thought, maybe start a thread and ask other users about it. How would you characterize an XDA Stereotype? I'm not thinking about your average Android user or Flashaholic, no, specifically the caricaturized XDA forum member.
Side note: I know, stereotyping can be insulting, so if you feel offended by this I may ask to close it.

I'm not offended. I can say when my friends see me reading xda forums/portals or watching xda developer TV on YouTube, I do get called "Nerdy" or more Commonly "Techy".
The most common stereotype I would say is that most people think I can fix anything electronic. I am the "local tech rep" for my friends and family. Lol.
