Alright this might sound sketchy to some of you, but I think alot of people can vouch for me. A guy on my local craigslist is selling a clean esn galaxy nexus for 400$. Said it was mint, said theres nothing wrong with it, just wants an iPhone. If I had 400 I would buy it in a heartbeat, sadly I blow all my money on tablets and other phones lol. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone wanted to send me a money order or cash via the mail, unless this guy takes paypal, I would love to buy it for someone and then ship it out to them. 400$ is a bargain for this phone, I think, anyway.

Well lets see. I have 7 feedback, very active, over 1000 posts, and 305 thanks because im a themer. Before you come running your mouth thinking im posting scams, find out who the OP is. Second, it has no phone number because not everyone likes giving out personal information in public, and with that comes to spam. Your an idiot.
a lot of fake ads on CL most likely you will get a reply like "i just sold it but you can get it cheaper at some website" I don't hit ads that have no phone number.

You gotta be kidding me. Muffstuff is a very active and reliable seller, as well as a ROM theme cook.

Hey forum newb here!
I was lucky enough to receive an SPH-D700 earlier this year as my first smartphone! :cyclops: Problem is its kinda busted up and the USB pins are broke.
So I'm really bummed I can't upgrade to CyanogenMod. At least not without a lot of trouble (attempting the latest MasterKey hack for example).
I know its a shot in the dark, but I thought I would just put the word out if any of you guys are upgrading and want to pass along your old phone to a wannabe mod'er... I'd really be interested.
I'm willing to pay shipping.
Send me a PM if you're interested!
Thanks!

Oh I didn't realize if this might be off topic.
And just to be clear, I'm not looking to buy a phone right now. I'm just looking for a kind soul.
Doesn't hurt to ask.
But thanks for pointing out the Swappa link. Will consider it in the far future.

It's not that it's off topic, it's just that buying and selling is no longer allowed within the forums of xda. That's why there's the swappa link, so I'd head there first for a phone.

Am I the only one that's hacked off that this forum has a picture of a Galaxy Note GT-N7000 phone on the forum header and not a Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet?
Despite complaining directly to all the moderators on this forum and the webmaster, and getting no reply whatsoever after a couple of weeks, the image still remains.
XDA Developer forums set their standards high and draw people in to how professional and accurate it's pages are. Yet here we have a pretty bad example of sloppy web page construction.
If anyone influential is reading this please can they let the right people know and get it fixed. It's embarrassing!

I don't think I would care to be honest. It's a picture. It has nothing to do with the content of the forums. Hell, they could put a picture of a Timex Sinclair 1000 and I wouldn't care.

Actually I think you would care.. And it does have everything to do with the content of the forum.
I don't think it's trivial, else why is there a picture (and device specifications) on the header in the first place if someone didn't think it would be useful?
Developers spend a long time getting the 'little things' just right and paying attention to detail so the 'little things' that annoy people can be corrected. So sometimes 'sweating the small stuff' is what makes something perfect.
Call me pedantic but I don't think it sits well with what is normally a well organised website.
Well I find it strange , a wrong picture. I will try to get it corrected , will ask mod, maybe I'm more succesfull.
It is Holiday time so maybe they all are partying.
EDIT:
I contacted mod, so now it is up to them.
Maybe they can use this picture:
It's sloppy and unprofessional. Over on the Android Central forums the Note 8 sub-forum is under Samsung phones instead of tablets.

Okay, let me rephrase it. I KNOW I wouldn't care. As for the "why," the picture idea has been around a LONG time...back when there were far fewer devices. I'm sure managing this site is not an easy task and updating pictures is about as low as possible on the priority list.
Here is an idea. For all those hung up on this stupid topic, go start you're own forum and set it up like you want it with the pictures, topics, and whatever else you want. Fund it yourselves and spend your free time managing it. Otherwise STFU and realize this is NOT your site, you do not pay for it, and you have no right to complain about it as if you're "entitled" to anything provided to you on here...for free. Oh, and no, freedom of speech does NOT apply here. You're a guest on XDA's property. You can politely ask for them to do something, but demanding it, insulting them about it (e.g. calling them unprofessional, etc) is way fvcking out of line. Now grow up and move on.

Whoa! That's one totally rude reply.
I never demanded anything. I did politely contact the right people, I am a polite person (unlike you). I did not say they were unprofessional, I said it was not in keeping with the USUAL professional standards, thereby indicating that XDA Developers IS very professional. I certainly do not resort to the level of insult and disrespect you are showing. I have been a guest here since 2005. You are also a guest and have no right to tell me to shut up or decide what I topic I can post.
I simply started this topic to ask if it could be changed. I did not expect it to become a place to abuse. May I suggest this topic is now closed, now that someone sensible here has helped out in trying to get the header changed.
Now I'm sure this has been posted before, but after searching for like 20 minutes I could only find one to unlock a phone to go to a different carrier, not for root.
If no one knows of one, I would like to start one on We The People's website so people like us on Verizon can have the same opportunities as others do on other carriers that don't lock down this so dang hard.
Now of course, being the sh***y administration that Obama's is, last year they changed it from 25k signatures to 100k (and from 5k to 25k back in 2011) to be taken seriously. But I KNOW there is more than 100k Verizon users on here on XDA.
The only tough part would be spreading the word in the 30 days we have to achieve this to everyone who wants this. Maybe XDA can work with us and somehow create a pop-up to when you are on the site or app notifying them of this petition to sign? I know a lot of people would also shrug it off and think it's just spam, so maybe even a PM to everyone?
Now, to get Verizon to take this seriously as well, we would need to have a foolproof plan. We would need to put rules on this for them to even consider this. Such can include (but not limited to, add any you think should be added):
•soon as you root/unlock your device you have now voided your warranty (as it already is) and therefore would need to pay full price for a new phone IF you bricked your device or any other NON physical damages (Water, drops, cracks, etc)
•maybe even pay a small time fee of $50-$100 per phone for this root so they can actually earn some extra money (don't be cheap, you pay $200-$600 dollars per phone, and donate money here so it's the least you could do for freedom).
•That's all I've got for now, but I've been up since 8pm last night working, so my brain isn't fully functional right now so please add!
I'm sorry, but I don't think we will ever have the same abilities as other carriers. If we want to stick it to the man, we will have to do it how we have always done it. Behind their backs and find ways around the locks for what we want. Them giving us the ability outside of a Dev device, won't happen. They don't want us having any more power than that they will allow.
I like the thought, but I really don't see it happening bud.
Nice thought, Dennis but I doubt this would work. Many reasons, but probable the biggest is Verizon has heck of a lot more lawyers (working for them) than we do

lol i'm not sure the relevance of the lawyer comment? i'm not saying we need to force verizon to do this, just something to make them aware that out of over 100 million users on their network, a nice little portion would like this option. they can still make plenty of money out of it, whether it be that one time fee i suggested, or if something happens to your phone other than physical damage, you have to buy a phone at full price.

I took the update today and my theme changed a few minutes later. I am currently using Package Disabler Property (samsung) by policedeveloper. I think I paid .99 for it, if others have there themes working let us know which Disabler are you using.
Wait... so the purpose of this thread is to discuss how to get around paying for themes?
Nope it's to see If I was the only one. Seems not. Don't get your panties in a bunch man I got over $300 of paid apps from the play store since when it was Android market I pay for my apps. I like to try out the themes for more than 5 minutes without spending $3 every time.

Regardless. It's still against forum rules to discuss circumventing anything that would require payment. I'd suggest discussing the matter with the developer not the forum.

Let's lay our cards on the table here.
Not EVERYONE knows. There are members that don't even know how to root their phones with a step by step guide and video to show them how to do so. Some may not be as clever as you or myself. Any discussion which may result in a loss in revenue for any app or theme is a direct violation of XDA forum rules. Remember, many of those developers are members of this forum too. If they chose to put a price on their apps then XDA must respect their wishes. Failure to enforce said rules within the community is negligent. Therefore, rules must be enforced. That is why discussion of this type is strictly prohibited with zero tolerance. So please don't. I know that you know... you know that I know. But not EVERYONE knows. So there could be "damages" to this thread. Which is why it cannot be permitted.

How about we sometimes not break them, and then other times also not break them. Then on those special occasions, we still don't break them.
Then after everyone has gone to bed and it's just me and you hanging out eating pizza rolls (burning the roof of our mouth) - we still don't break them?
How about that?
