I find myself reading a LOT about other phones on XDA when I'm bored
It's interesting to see the structure of other forums, DL a few mods and see if they can be tweaked to work.

If I'm not doing that, I'm on TheChive or Tapiture.
.. Or YouTube, watching Harlem Shake vids lol.

I can't fix things around my apartment because the owner is touchy.. My car could use some work, but parts are expensive.

I have been making 3D models in sketchup and 123D, for printing on a Solidoodle 2 3D printer. - very fun to print 3D items. Been thinking about designing a case for our Note II. I printed an iphone 4 case for a friend.

Pretty cool 3D printing seen a lot of that at the CES show in Vegas!

On another note. I myself read a lot of the other threads here on XDA mostly the AT&T Note 2 section. But what I find funny is that you see these guys that pop up all over the place. So I have to wonder which Rom are they running, since your giving advice in that thread! I think every Rom has a little something different from each other! So may work a lil different from the next. So I try to help out with what I have running on my phone usually!! Unless it's a Rom I have tried b4 or something I can help them fix, not Rom based.. mod etc:cool:

Just my 2¢...;)

Haha I completely agree w/you. In the GS2 forums there was a guy arguing with others about how amazing the nexus 4 is and that no other device compares... I thought, geezer, this guy must be a Nexus enthusiast... Nope. I creeped on his profile.. He owns an LG MyTouch 4G!
:banghead:
Even though I lurk in other forums, the only one I give strict advice in is the forum of the phone I currently own.
But, it's sort of a lie because I have been all over this forum since it was created. Back when someone was calling the "post pictures taken with your note 2" thread a trolling thread. And it was almost the only thread then.
I tried not to give much advice.. Just the general "your doing it wrong, this is how..." but only if I knew for sure.
You'd never catch me in an HTC forum ever again talking about S-off :silly:

In regards to the ROM thing: I'm an addict. I think I've posted twice in the Dev section of this forum (useless posts).. But I try to run every ROM put out that seems to show some promise. I usually see posts that desperately need advice and think "I'll get an infraction if I post what needs to be said" lol. I'm too hard nosed.

But ya.. That's the story of my life, in an essay. Haha.

Before this topic turns bad;
What's everyone doing for V-day? Special places to go? Gifts?

It's definitely been an exercise in restraint for me on these forums. Some times I want nothing more than to tell them they're too dumb to own one and take it back to the store.

Yesterday one of my friends called me, knowing I'm the Android guy. A friend of his just got a note 2. What's the first thing she does? Takes naked pics of herself. Okay, fine. But.... she didn't realize she had kicked on auto upload..google+ and picasa. . until too late. And she called him freaking out (he's her tech person to go to). Hah!

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

Lol. I here ya.:eek:
That's why when I'm not working I'm working. Because I always have something to do to make me money. Fixing something, hanging tv's, cctv cameras, cars, etc. Anything using my hands. I'm quite handy and can fix/install mostly anything.

Just my 2¢:cool:

There's nothing wrong with that. Plus your learning while your reading and cleaning your home which is a good thing to have a clean home..:) Lol
Glad your getting this android addiction!

Oh ok I understand now. But I know you'll rather, b working making some mula tho!!:)

Hey Jay I was wondering if you knew how to change the text color in the text msg app. Because I know you did some theming for a few people. But the Rom DIAPHANES Rc1...
I'm on has both white letters on the in/out text of the SMS app. Not a big deal but just asking if you could look at it if it's something easy for you to fix.:confused: maybe changing it to blue or something else. Let me know k.
Thanx brahda:)

    He's right. Once you're a soldier Uncle Sam owns you

    They don't want this broken down Soldier any more Brother ...and I'm getting put out to pasture..

    What a ride...nearly 25 years in all...and memories to last a lifetime..

    But I can say this with absolute confidence..
    That never before have I been so proud...as the day I put on the uniform...
    And never before have I been so sad...as the day I took it off...

    I hope it's been enough to help at least one person have a better life...as I stood watch on the perimeter while they slept...so they need not fear attack or persecution...

    And if I've accomplished that...then mission completed...g

    wife is allergic to cats, son loves them, I dont like them.

    silver-blue **** a poo was the compromise pet..no shedding, hypo allergenic, and a watchdog that thinks he's a Rottweiler

    I used to hate cats a long time ago. I think men are trained to think cats are sneaky and disloyal. About 17 years ago I had a female calico cat "choose" me.

    I learned quite a bit about cats at that point. Cats bond with one person very strongly. As much as I absolutely love dogs I realized that they're all whores for attention... Not loyal in any way, shape, or form.

    For 17 years I had my best buddy in the world- "chaos". The best cat in the world. I could tell her to get specific toys and she knew the difference between all of them. I could hide them in the house and she would find the specific toy. She loved all people but wasn't pushy about affection. She just wanted to "hang out". Never lazy or boring either... Just a good friend. In April of this past year I had to make the hardest decision of my life.

    REST IN PEACE CHAOS. I will love her forever.
