"Protips" = "Professional Tips"? Failing to see how that's an easter egg.. maybe I'm missing a reference..

Umm so.. it describes it exactly as I thought.
Seriously this doesn't make it an easter egg, that's how I would call that app too.
LOL! That's awesome!
(A "Pro Tip" is an internet meme.)
There's also a new method in the sdk called 'wtf' (android.util.Log)
Protip: In this thread, newbs
protip
An idiotic synonym for "tip", primarily used my condescending morons who erroneously believe they are dispensing expert adivce. It's a stupid Internet meme that will not die.
Protip: using the word "protip" makes you seem a mentally-defective jackass.

Wow, lol.

YAY, Just exactly what we need right now!! Another rom!!

for the last time it's not me. you know most of you devs must be 10 year old children. how stupid are you to the fact the mods could just trace the ip addy to see who it really is.

So how many last warnings do u get before it is ur last final warning. Is it like the whole how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop.
Is it just me or r the mods not being very polite lately. I mean maybe they need a copy of the rules. I think one of them posted the one about being polite and respectful yesterday. Either they didn't read it or once u reach "semi God" status in these forums does it not apply to you anymore.
So smixxer=fixxer=smoother. Think I see that now. Hmm.
I prefer to play nice but at the same time just cause u have power in these parts it doesnt mean i abuse them nor be rude, disrespectful, or forceful. A please and thank u go along ways. Try it some time mods see the reactions u get instead of being ugly about it.
OK off rant....this new rom would look like most on development page

It's not a troll. He's saying that he used the Chinese official 3.1 update.zip, which caused some apps to force close when he ran them. He then did a factory reset (which just deleted all userdata without touching the ROM), and that caused them to work again.
It isn't new info, but it's not trolling either - he is right.
