Yes I know but look up the definition and it kind of is. I'm sure maybe only 2 of us. Actually have the capabilities to actually hack for say, a web site. I won't include a wifi network, because backtrack Linux makes it too easy

Cool thread.

It's like going "No one in the outside world should know about these things, so whenever such a person demonstrates knowledge of these things, I get all caveman-faced and post about it on XDA."

My wife is running CM7 on her Triumph, she wouldn't in a million years load a custom ROM.

I always pimp mine out before I sell them on ebay. people from our community appreciate a budget phone that doesn't need work done to it the second they get their hands on it, and they will pay a few $ more for it

But remember. Time is money.

I have a hot lady officemate who keeps asking me to root her phone so she can get ICS on her Galaxy W, but I'm hesitant to root a non-Google phone since it seems more complicated than rooting, say, my nexus S, which is running a custom ROM and kernel.

What do you guys think, should I help her out or should I wait until she becomes desperate enough to do anything to have a modded phone?

My gf motorola phone is rooted and running with a deblured us version with a network ans qwertz hack. She was kinda nervous till everything works as it should be.. a real pain in the ass.. you will never know its rooted because only few really care. What counts for a girl is design and that it "works".

Oh and I own a nexus s with aokp m5 and a kind of luciduis on it, thats why i'm here. I'm in all kind of modding stuff..
