XDA-like school club - Off-topic

So my friend and I were talking today and we thought it might be a good idea to create a sort of "XDA club" at our high school. We were thinking about using the club to teach people to root, flash roms and kernels, and maybe even teach people to use linux and build cyanogenmod or something like that. Has anyone done something similar or know of something similar at their schools? Any suggestions?

Go for it
I've convinced most of my friends to root and taught them the basics

Dude go for it... Its worth a shot it but the problem at my school is that 80% of the people have iphones but still go for it

I once thought of that but only a few 10-20 people like technology
And about 50+ didn't even know what Android was soooo no.

I hate that I love phones. It generally is all I can have a long conversation about. I always post on Facebook about phones too, luckily I have some friends who are as passionate as I am. However its going to be a tough addiction to break while at basic training next month. I'm gonna miss flashing ROMs and I will miss XDA lol.

sell it or jailbreak it?
Walk into a samsung service center with your iPad and go on and on about how it's better than the Note 10.1...(it's not, but..just for the lulz..)
Lucky if you walk out alive..
If I were in your case , I would have been happy .
Even though I hate iOS and according to me apple sux
But atleast its better than having nothing

Why? Because of this. Do you really think that they're giving you iPad's so you can chat on Facebook and play Rumble?
Jailbreak it, install cydia, etc

Another Evil Scheme From Apple !!
U Should keep it for Textbooks and School Stuff....
same as usual Apple marketing make their devices look as magical... just grab a kindle fire, go to the school director and tell him "this fire can be used aswell as an ipad, and cost 1/7.. you mindf***** idi**", after this run at home to your parents telling them you will not take exam this year...
First things first, download Plague INC and see if you can kill everybody in the world before the population finds a cure.

I agree. I don't like Apple and I wouldn't buy their products, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't accept one for free

How about just take the ipad and enjoy not having textbooks to carry or maintain. There's probably some kind of universal search within the text too so you don't even have to skim.
I would start wearing shirts with the Android logo on it every day. This is a ploy to get kids in school to get use to the Apple product so that they would be more inclined to buy Apple products. So on that note, I would make a movement to suggest that the school also gives the option of Android devices. And refuse the iPad. Apple is a whore and should be treated as such. No you fools, it needs to be ignored. Whores give you diseases.
And if you do take it. I woold love for you to throw it on the ground!! Lol!
But sadly you would get in trouble. Now, if you some how tripped and broke it. Well, that would be just as funny. And would be considered justice of some sort or another.

Oh I know grouper developing will continue. Sorry I'm not good at expressing myself in forums and threads as I tend to trail off. Its a fact that there are some ROMs and kernels that have been,well -abandoned- for lack of a better word. I'm just trying to thank those devs that have moved on for whatever reason. I had the first kindle fire and was actually surprised to see people dev.ing for Otter. Guess I need to brush up on my online communication skills. I've miscommunicated my point on more than one occasion lately. Think I'll stick to just downloading and let everyone else do the talking.

Are you that awkward in real life?
Don't apologise for the way you speak mate, if people don't get it, explain it in another way.
Well, lets just close this here and leave it at an awkward thanks....

Deadly Redback

So I have been hearing a few rumors of a new Android Phone in the works. Mainly from people at university but then again, you never know. What I do know for sure is that that it would be called Deadly Redback. Has anyone else heard of this? It might be baloney but I still thought that I might mention it here. I am from Australia if anyone was wondering. Might not have worked its way up to your country yet. I will look for pictures on the web and post them up here if I see anything.
Found this on Twitter

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.
