Half-Illusion and Asylum Discussion Thread

I feel it's about time someone wrote a glossary of Asylum specific terms, don't you think? So, without further ado, I give you



Most of the following original words and expressions were coined by distressed users in times of crisis - brick looming - so typos which gave us this colorful little collection are quite understandable. The origin of these words is lost in the mists of time, but we'd nevertheless like to thank their creators for their unintentional inventivnality and originess. We also like to think that all of them got out of their respective shtooks and lived happily ever after.

Also, our special thanks and eternal gratitude goes to Alcoholic Anonymous 1973, who went to great lengths to collect and preserve these linguistic pearls for posterity.

A word of caution: Don't drink tea and read Asylum Glossary, it might render you impotent!1!

That's all I can think of for now, but please bear in mind that this is a progress in work (PIW), and I'll be adding shiny new words as soon as AA1973 collects them. Inmates, feel free to link this post, spread the word(s) and enlighten the uninitiated.

Sincerely yours,
Asylum EST Dpt, Central Wing, lower basement

Inmates, wardens, fellow friends and forum go'ers,

Now that the dust has settled I feel it is time for me to pubicly apologize to everyone who I hurt, offended or was rude to.

My actions were very childish, horrid, pathetic for a grown ass man. I was not in the correct state of mind to be a rom chef. I was a one man team at the time and wanted all the attention. When others started taking the spot light I wanted it back. *a sort of hey look, not them at me kinda thing* which was very wrong.

I hurt a lot of people who were loyal asylum followers and who had helped contribute to the asylum success. The only thing I can say at this point is I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. There isn't much else can be done besides that. If you still wish to resent me, talk trash about me, hate me or what ever that's fine. That's your choice. But I am sorry.

Since then I have turned over a new leaf. In less than 10 days I will be marrying the love of my life. A dream come true honestly. And let's just say I have had a come to Jesus type appifany.

Asylum is now a team, TheRipper is huge huge part of the team. He coded everything Aroma, he builds CM10 and yes my right hand man. Asylum wouldn't be the same without him. We have since branched out to building for other devices as well. The Nexus 7, and the Galaxy S3's on Sprint and AT&T. We also build for a few more but I don't release those.

Anyway I just wanted to clear the air. Toxic and Ahbi, Traz, and anyone else who I might have hurt in me being an inconsiderate child I wish to apologize. If you can forgive and forget we can move forward. If not I understand and that's fine. I just want you all, and everyone else to know I am sorry.

I would love for everything to be how it was. And I would love another amazing boot animation from Toxic. But that might be a long shot at this moment. For now I'm just asking you read this and try to forgive and forget.

Thanks for reading guys and gals.

Hypothetical (no offense meant)-



After days of incessant fighting, ahalford was captured and brought to the enemy camp - chained and tied to a lamp post. An account of the night that changed the fate of two warring parties -

(Enemy soldier sitting next to him, has an android and is browsing XDA forums.

Another comrade joins him. )

They seem to be discussing something about a new ROM. And one of them seems to be getting loads of issues that the other doesn't.

The two soldiers are surprised when ahalford speaks up. Says he,


”You have an incomplete download. Verify your MD5".


The soldier does so, and finding inconsistencies, flashes the zip his friend is running. All is well.

Chains removed.



The second soldier starts to discuss the innumerable battery issues he has. Says it doesn't even last half a day, especially when he's out in the field.

Again says ahalford,


"Install better battery stats. See what's hogging your battery and freeze that app for the time being."



Problem resolved.
Ahalford now has a glass of beer in his hand.



A third man in uniform joins in. He has a different ROM installed but he wants his phone to have the same boot animation as the others.

The other two say it can't be done. Now this third man is a senior commanding officer and is incensed at being mocked at.

Ahalford steps right up.


"You there, gimme your phone", he says to one of the two. The soldier complies.

"If I may sir", and the commanding officer hands over his device as well.


A few clicks later, the commanding officer has a sinister skull in red looping in front of him as his phone boots.


"You're one heck of a techie.", says he.

"Well, I just keep my eyes and ears open on the threads."

"You're a member on XDA as well???", asks the bewildered man.


"Say...which threads? And what's your username?", interjects one of the junior officers.



"The Galaxy Note threads usually. Same as you.".


Saying this, he takes one last sip of the fine liquor stolen from his own house, before setting the glass down.


"Oh, and my username is ahalford."



And so they say it wasn't UN intervention. It wasn't Egypt mediating. And it surely wasn't Hillary Clinton sweet-talking that finally ended the conflict.


It was an Android user, who shared his expertise with the rival camp.

It was an Android user who was freed with full respect and honor.

It was an Android user who got a hero's welcome on his return home.

It was an android user, and his nickname was -
Ahalford




-- The End --



Note from author: just a different perspective on the state of affairs. Hope you're all well and safe. God bless.
