[QUOTE=garrynohome;31806064]You obviously rooted a device without knowing what you were doing. This is why rooting your device should be harder than it is. Right now anybody can root their device easily but they have no idea what to do when a problem occurs.[/QUOTE]
I didn't root it, The guy i bought it from did.
imo the oldest way of rooting was best. You'd have to make a Goldcard, flash Cupcake and use the telnet exploit to flash a custom recovery.

And anyone who was able to do this knew what they were doing. No more idiots on XDA asking stupid questions in the wrong sections.
Well, good news, after doing some strange shit i managed to get it to work on normal android 2.3.3. So im happy.
If you're planning on buying a new TV soon, check this out, Best Buy is giving away Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1s if you buy a Samsung 46" LED 1080p Smart 3D HDTV for the little price of $1500.

Also this could mean two things. Either Google has commissioned Samsung once again and Samsung has bumped Exynos from 1.2-1.5GHz. Or less likely but possible is that the 1.5GHz CPU is an OMAP4460/4470 and they're buying the displays from Samsung using their recently acquired motorola manufacturing power to make the devices.
Gah I'm not sure how often should I update CM7. There is no proper changelog, and sometimes installing new versions reduces my stability

But how? Wine is not an emulator and the SGSII has an ARM processor while Windows programs are compiled for x86.
Just a heads-up, T-Mobile is offering the G2x (LG Optimus 2X) for free if you buy it through their webshop with a 2 year contract:

Says that it's booting Ubuntu.img and nothing happens.
Well I'll just leave it loading for some time, then
So, how's the Motorola Atrix? I was thinking of getting that since I'm on AT&T.

Pentile 960x540 apparently is reasonable, only appears aliased with very specific elements. Tegra 2 is pretty well proven and I would assume the drivers are well-written for it. 1 GB of RAM is pretty damn futureproof, the battery is just fucking massive, but the camera isn't going to replace a point and shoot. The unlocking process is probably far from one-click, but if you can get a decent ROM onto it that gets rid of the Blur then you'll have a very snappy phone.
If you want a stock user interface that doesn't make you want to tear your hair out, go with the Infuse 4G, I guess? :v:
There is the 800 pound gorilla in the room that is the ATT version of the GSII and the QWERTY slider variant that apparently is in the pipeline, and the incoming LTE phones.
Well that was the most sensible post Hunt3r has made in this thread. Awesome job, keep up the good posting.

I fucking hope app lock isn't app freezing. No user who buys an app like this would be freezing their apps. Also a taskiller? Really?

It's retarded (luckily not bought, though). I don't think the taskiller is on, though. Thankfully. I just downloaded it to see what it estimates of my battery :v:.

That's because it isn't. It's in Alpha. Grab the .apk from the thread in programming.

That just seems annoying, overdone and intrusive. I like getting a nice, subtle notification, not some outrageous video popup.
