I'm not going to be able to be on xda 24/7 like I usually am for the next two weeks. I am asking this community to please keep me informed by private message of any new developments like: News on the GB update, news on the WiThin, etc. I'll have the app set to notify me of new messages every hour, so this would be very much apreciated. I ask this, because two weeks of catching up would be a lot of work lol.

ill be releasing a new rom today based off of damage,fresh,alloyishus,icerom... it will be called "burnt french toast with an icetea in an alloy cup"
Wow, lol.
Sidenote, do all your handles have XX in them?
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

hey guys. thought id fill you in on some info then ask for a favour
as you all know j.Anderson is a tremendous pain in the kneck. and has been banned for being one.
however another thread popped where you all speculated its was his second account. the thread was deleted but im here to tell you it was his account.
the reason im telling you this is because now i know he is not beyond making sock-puppets to make stupid posts
so the favour i want to ask is, if you see a post that seem familiar in wording or content. as well as reporting via the correct methods could you also let me know.
weve had this issue before with another user not long before 2.1 was due to be released and i dont want it to happen again
thanks in advance
PiLoT
Will do, chief!
I am absolutely convinced that he is mentally ill, possibly even schizophrenic. I think he really believes that he has some secret or unique knowledge. Some of his posts at talk.sonyericsson.com are even more puzzling.
yeah i agree his posts are nonsensical. i remembered the other user i had trouble with. Its was iHim.
Looks like the neighborhood watch is now in effect! We'll be on the lookout! That goober's posts stick out like a flasher in a trenchcoat at the playground and he's likely in the same state of mind.

Just came in d/l, installed. Had the coolest Android green gears ani. I have ever seen. Haven't had time to check it out. Keep your eyes open for it, do manual check for it.
Yeah the new spinning gears inside the Android during the update were really cool. I kinda freaked out when they froze for about a minute at the end of the process. Still the standard Android boot logo after the update though.
New version: Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2 (previously was on 4.010.11)
Does anyone know what this patch does? I happily report it does not break root access, nor did it break my Netflix library fix. Also, my same tun.ko still works.
Are you f-ing kidding?

Can't we have a system for voting positively on posts, Please. That way useful information can be made more easily accessible. Down-voting wouldn't make much sense here since this is not a forum for opinions.
On a side note, I don't understand if people do not find something useful why do they still have to comment on it. It's not like you are forced to read each and every post or thread, so wasting people's time does not sound like a much valid argument.
