Well since all the other forums have it, might as well do one here as well. This is for to have a laugh and a giggle and to just relax after all the flashing and tweaking our great phones.
So here we go:
*You know you are rooted when your new S3 comes and you rub it in your mates faces that your phone is the best in the world.(sounds a bit like CM Punk there)
*You know you are rooted when the only gaps on your S3 is the headphone jack and volume speaker where on the One X is the big old hairline crack were all the dust gets through.(true story)
*You know you are rooted when the S3 will be voted beautiful and best smartphone of the year and the One X will be eating only its dust.
I could go on and on but i know you wonderful members here will have more wild imagination than me.
Enjoy guys and congrats on your new toys
and many thanks to my buddy Orr.Penn18 his thread is here from the S2 side
You know you're rooted when you got your brand new S3 but did not even bother enjoy Stock ROM for 10 min and flashed Custom ROM right away

what is there to be copy cats of mate? all forums have it so why not have one here to. take a chill pill it is all for fun at the end of the day
wow man seriously what is wrong wit some guys here. it is a bit of fun thread to have amongst all the serious ones we have. if you do not like it then move along..no need to bring every one else down due to you lot being crampy old so and so's..oh well if mods want to close this thread so be it only trying to make the mood a bit more happier
and on that note:
you know you are rooted when people do not have a sense of humour.
you know you are rooted when people do not see the funny side of this thread
you know you are rooted when you this thread seems to be have been patented and i had to ask for an ok to open it from somewere else which is complete nonsense as it is not freaking patented and anyone can open it
You know you are rooted....." When U have a Root Beer with your Galaxy SIII in Hand".
LOL.
you know you are rooted when people cry about something they did not do first and start moaning about it.(sounds like a bit like Apple)
You know you are rooted when:

You know you're rooted when you can pull the battery while laughing at a HOX owner.
You know you are rooted when you post about being rooted jokes.
Almost all of these have nothing to do with being rooted. Should be more like:
You know you're rooted when your friend complains of issues with his phone and you tell him to flash back to stock.

I think it's actually funnier reading people putting up the jokes which have absolutely nothing to do with being rooted. Sure, there's no real humour or creativity, but it's funny all the same.

I'm sorry for your loss..
I have a 2 year old terror for a son, that is constantly playing with my phone. The blue htc case has been the best purchase i have made in a long time. It definitely beefs up the phone enough to withsatnd majority of his punishment. He did manage to break something because my keyboard lights rarely work... But thats nothing compared to if he would crack my screen... Come on root so i can get a new phone with working keyboard lights.

We all feel your pain . Guess it's going to be a minute before your able to do anything for the community . Dammm you HTC .
you could always try a different Launcher so that it will look different...
If you're lookin for a sense 3.0 like lockescreen try Agile Lock from the market, been using it on my evo for a week or so and loving it. In order to get all the functionality out of it you'll have to download 4 or 5 apps from within the agile lock app. They're all in Japenese or Chinese, can't read either so not sure which language it actually is, but just download and install them then you can delete them. Once the app is unlocked it functions almost just like the 3.0 lockscreen.

I didn't care if anyone responded. Sorry for eating valuable forum space in the shift forum. When root comes back around, this thread will be pointless. Feel free to delete it. But the other person was right. This is the gloom thread. No root for the old hags phone makes me sad. If jock itch makes you sad, tell us about them red balls.
As far as children, I think my 15 y.o. looked at some pR0n on my shift the other day. I spent hours deciding how to sterilize it, in the event that he diddled himself, without blitzing the circuits. My first impulse was to soak it in bleach for a day or two. How's that for some FML?????

this will probably sound really stupid, so just remember that I come from the easy-to-root epic forum.
I assume it's not possible to RUU back to 2.2, root, unlock, then flash gingerbread?
I guess my question really is, why doesn't this method work?

Because the RUU checks the hboot and says you've got the wrong one and fails.

I know your saying is correct, but if it is simply just that, how come with revolutionary on other phones you can run a RUU and it'll reset the phone but keep s-off? Or is it because revolutionary just does something crazy?

How in the world could anyone leave a super AMOLED screen for an LCD? Samsung has the best camera and the best video player out there. I realize they aren't the best in regards to updating their firmware, but yikes. Samsung has the best hardware, hands down. I don't think I could ever leave them.

Agree 100%, you can't beat samsung when it comes to hardware.
Sent from my SCH-I905 using Tapatalk
A good friend of mine just upgraded from the Incredible to the Incredible 2 and the only thing I like about it is the front facing camera. Other than that, it's MEH. The screen size is smaller than (or same size as) Fascinate, the speed doesn't seem to be any different, they are still using the LCD, crappy 1 Gig of phone memory, shipped with a small SD card... I'd take a stock, bloated Fascinate over the I2 any day... much less my fully customized, sweetly configured piece of artwork.
Bottom Line: The Fascinate is still one of the best out there, it's an amazing phone that is easy to use with great results. My kids watch movies on it all the time, the screen rocks! Games play flawlessly most of the time and it's just a very nice piece of hardware.
I do wish good ole VZW hadn't jumped away from the GalaxyS II. Now my future plans for an upgrade later this year are going to be put on indefinte hold because I really prefer Samsung.
its sad that the samsung phones tend to need modding to show their true potential, nice phones out-of-the-box, but nowhere near their potential till you start modding.
I am on hold for my upgrade as well to see what verizon will do, may have to change carriers if they dont come up with something from verizon to replace my fassy
I have a funny twist to this story, I have an inc2 but will be switching to a fascinate in a few days, unless my wife wants it. I just want a new toy to play with and it looked like a good phone and I didn't wanna pay 350 for a replacement of her inc 2 she broke, so I ordered a fascinate. I have been reading these forums, and the terminology seems different and some things are new to me "whats this odin thing lol" but I'm really excited to mess with it and try stuff out as I have already done/tried everything available for the inc 2 since it came out. I made a thread under q&a if anyone is so kind to help a fellow flashaholic out...

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?

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...

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

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.

Not to be Debbie downer.... But the days of Samsung products being easy to develope on... Are over... Look at the S4 and Note 3 threads... D.E.A.D. I personally love Sammy products.. owned a S3 and a note 3... Bought both cash.. spoiled with a S3 unlocked boot loader.. which chances are Will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN ? then my locked down tighter than a rat's a$$ note 3! loved the phone.. but the lack of development made me so bored with it.. HTC m8 has all the goodies.. could not be any happier.. COMPLETELY UNLOCKED all the way... If you guys are hoping to have a great phone.. with lots of development.. and are still under your 14 days.. I HIGHLY suggest taking that s5 back and getting the M8. You went regret it... If you don't care about development... ( lol then you probably would not even be reading this ) lol.. then I'm sure the S5 is the perfect phone for you... All I know is I paid top dollar cash for a brand new note 3.. and was completely bored after 2 months... That thing is so locked down and always will be.. ( along with all Sammy products) I took a huge loss and sold it..and now totally happy with the M8... Lots of developers are giving up cause of Verizon and Samsung are just making it so hard to work on.. it sucks... But the truth.. I'm a m8 owner but love Sammy products.. why I'm here was just hoping for some miracle that may have happened with this phone.. but it's a needle in a hay stack... But love this M8.. can't be any happier with this phone.. just sharing the love.. hope people don't lose money on a phone that will bum then out on a phone that won't get much development.. Root alone is going to be a task.. specially with Knox involved now.... Good luck guys!

Not to be Debbie downer.... But the days of Samsung products being easy to develope on... Are over... Look at the S4 and Note 3 threads... D.E.A.D. I personally love Sammy products.. owned a S3 and a note 3... Bought both cash.. spoiled with a S3 unlocked boot loader.. which chances are Will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN ? then my locked down tighter than a rat's a$$.. loved the phone.. but the lack of development made me so bored with it.. HTC m8 has all the goodies.. could not be any happier.. COMPLETELY UNLOCKED all the way... If you guys are hoping to have a great phone.. with lots of development.. and are still under your 14 days.. I HIGHLY suggest taking that s5 back and getting the M8. You went regret it... If you don't care about development... ( lol then you probably would not even be reading this ) lol.. then I'm sure the S5 is the perfect phone for you... All I know is I paid top dollar cash for a brand new note 3.. and was completely bored after 2 months... That thing is so locked down and always will be.. ( along with all Sammy products) I took a huge loss and sold it..and now totally happy with the M8...

I would've got the M8 if it didn't have such a ****ty camera and that useless bottom bezel.

Yeah.. I think I would of liked the buttons to be like S3 s4 and S5... I hate losing screen real estate cause of the buttons but the stereo speakers do sound great though... I dint see much difference If any in screens.. and as far as the camera goes... Seems to shoot sold pictures for my needs... I Am a little bummed about the No 4k video recording for sure though...

Bezel is eh but the crappy camera and internal battery kill it for me

I hear the camera is garbage I was going to get it over the s5 but I think I'll hold out for about 3months and see how the s5 has developed or by than hopefully we get something going for the note3 bootloader but that's me taking it with a grain of salt :/

Stock firmware is not development, neither is your post here. Please keep non-development work out of the development forums.
Moving this one to general as well.
