Seen a woman with a cm9 nexus s

Shark_On_Land · Apr 23, 2012

Today I was at Rite Aid buying ice cream when the lady in front of me had her phone go off. At first I had thought nothing of it, until I recognized that it was the new CM9 ringtone that says "cyanogenmod" then brecks off into dubstep lalaland.

My point is she did not look like the type that would be into mobile hacking.

My theory is either her son or husband touches her phone, OR our little society is growing

Have any of you seen other Cyanogenmoded phones in the wild?

Never. One of my friends had a se x8 (yes its an ancient two years old model). Apart from his sms, contacts and few mp3, the phone rom is literally like its just came fresh from factory. No game, no apps, no nothing. Hell even the market wasnt activated yet, and theres no goggle account linked to that phone. Thats how i realize we the geeks are still minority among masses.

One time, I heard the default CM6 notification tone (Pixie Dust) at a mall and got all excited that someone else was using a modded Android device... But it turned out that the notification came from mine. XD

I know a couple of tech people (a developer and an IT guy), even, who refrained from modding their phones because they didn't see a compelling reason for it.

I've encountered a number of second-hand devices (HTC G1, LG G2X, and HTC Sensation 4G) that were all modded by their previous caretakers, though. The mod versions weren't up to date, and one of them had stability issues, but there they were. I suppose it's possible that people who resell their devices tend to be enthusiasts?

I hacked my sisters vibrant to run AOSP ICS and when she pulled it out to tether from it, one of the members of her club noticed and showed her his rooted nexus s.

Edit: btw my sister tethers between 20 and 60 gb a month on AT&T, unthrottled.

Oh and a few members of my fraternity are also flashaholics like me.

You can extract it from a CM9 nightly build, it's in system/media/audio/ringtones/CyanTone.ogg.

Whoa... That is amazing!

If only more stores showed off what these devices were truly capable of, then I daresay they'll attract more informed customers. Though... Given that those of us who mod are used to looking online to learn how to do it ourselves, I guess it might not make so much of a difference in practice. ^^;

Still really cool to see it being flaunted by a major store though.

No she seemed to be in a rush. But I do remember what she had bought, soap & candy.
And on my way out I saw her driving away in a Diesel Jetta.

That's me. I keep my bootloader locked and my firmware unrooted because root doesn't really provide me anything that I need. I've never really been into the whole custom ROM thing for a lot of reasons. So really, the only reason for me to root is because I can. Not a compelling reason in my book.

I'm happy just keeping my phone straight stock. The stock ROMs are generally very stable even if that comes at the cost of performance.

The same reason you never see guys on a cross-stitch forum. Generally, most women I've met just aren't interested in this kind of stuff.
