I dont know bro but im getting sick of it the only reason i still stick around here is for the developers and a few cool people which im one of them
U just have to deal with 70% people *****ing and whining which to me is just stupid, i like ptfdmedic said in the other thread its just a phone.. all phones have issues and xda developers here develop and fix as many as possible
quite frankly im amazed, we have amazing roms,themes mods , just awesome.
Honestly, it's not that bad. It USED to be, but I haven't noticed it as much. Nothing can be done; you'll just have to live with it, unfortunately.

Well, I usually avoid the Q&A section lol, so I don't really see the rude comments people are making. And, to make a point a point with the OP, I'm literally 14 (yeah, I know. What's a 14 year old doing on a site like this and hacking?), but my point is, I know better than to be rude toward others for asking dumb questions. Sure some are absurd, but really? Almost everyone who is new to this site might not understand some things, and asking questions is usually how people feel is the best way to get help. I'm not saying that they shouldn't do a LITTLE research before they ask questions, but it happens.

Hah, before I pressed the link I knew it was that.
Well, being a teenager, I can say that our generation sucks . It's just a thing with a lot of kids that feel it is necessary to lower another's self-esteem to, you know, make themselves feel better. Or...they're just trolling. That's the internet, though. Kids are kids, obnoxious as ever. And I admit, I watched an interview of her with ABC talking about all the hate she's getting, and I respect her for being so calm about it. Even if she is bad, at least she tried her best, and in the end, she's the one who's making all the money.

I know, right? As much as I hate it, it gets in your head...
Anyway, back on topic:
Complaining about the trolls here makes you no better than them (well, depends how much you're complaining). I'm sure we can do something about it, but an approach so blunt like in the OP might be worded incorrectly, even though it's 100% true.
Wow David that song was pretty bad. But not the girl. Acer I have to say for 14 you seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders at 14. Keep it up and don't pay any attention to the negative things on this website.

does anyone have a link to the guitar hero cab? greatly appreaciated
Seconded.... except my message is much to short
Me too Please !!
why is everyone so protective of it, ive seen numerous posts on this site with people claiming they have it yet noone wants to give it up. it'd be greatly appreaciated i mean we are all here for the same reason, to help eachother out.
Probably because its copyrighted
just because someone has it, it doesnt mean they are going to freely give it out to anyone. It's not being rude, just selective. For example, if I had this game. I would only give it out to other people that have contributed to this site, not just a bunch of leechers that gain info or software and have nothing reciprocating to offer. And secondly it would be via PM or other communication ways. Not posted publicly on this site (which is against site rules)
Put it this way.... i'm not going to tell you where ( again against site rules) but there IS a site that has this app posted ( cTacked version) but you will need to find out where it is posted for yourself.

Quite true, but isnt distributing edited versions of Windows Mobile O/S.
I am not complaining btw without Kavana and Rickys WM6.1 i would be stuck with BT Bloatware.
its really not that great. i was able to nail every song on the highest settings with little effort. its mainly good to just show off. plus you need a good interneet connection to get the songs

so you leechers keep your grubby paws off
I'm not a leecher. Never asked for a damned bit of your warez (I always hated the whole fake-music genre of games), but it seems like I hit a nerve with that comment. Guess if you have it, you're a leecher.
All I was saying is that having something like guitar hero makes certain people feel special...because they have it and others don't. If they let it out too liberally, just like the child in the schoolyard, they're not special anymore because everybody is the same again. They lose the "look what I got and you don't" shine.
It's a nasty attitude and shows that people really don't grow up. If you don't want to give it out, you really don't have to say anything at all. But it's the schoolboy in you that has to yell "MINE!"
To the original poster, Guitar Hero III mobile is available online. T-Mobile has it in their downloads as well. And I'm not sure who told you we're all here for the same reason: to help each other out. There are quite a lot of people here who feel they're at some elite status and can't be bothered with people who are where they were, say, ten months ago.
problem is, that most people dont contribute to this site ( or at least this forum) they sit here asking all sorts of questions, but never offer any help to others. Im not an eliteist.... i did what most techy type guys most like did when they first got their phones, they dabbled with it, figured crap out for themselves, and when they didnt, they found the almightly google for help. Once they started to put 2 & 2 together with what their phone could and couldnt do, they started offering help to others, and i stress help. Help is not giving out software that they have and saying: " here ya go! " help is actually resolving someone elses problem. and i hardly think that a software request is a problem. For those certain individuals that i've seen on this site actuall make a signifigant contribution to help others that are in need, when they've hit me up for software, i've always hooked them up, but for the ones that "hit & run" and have not had anything to offer to date, i dont give them anything. (and i stress give). its not like im going to be seeing these people on what you call the schoolgrounds anytime soon and i dont really care how many people have the same software i have. i do feel that some deserve it and some dont , based on their merit. simply googling guitar hero III and finding a thread in this forum, finding out that there is a guitar hero III for the mobile phone and then requesting it is not contributing anything in any way. ( BTW i've been with this forum since nov of 2006 and have had a smartphone since WM2003 so i dont know where you are getting your 10 months ago figure)
Nah, dude, that wasn't meant as a slight to you. I can't disagree with anything you wrote. I'm fairly new here myself (though I've had a smartphone since I had WM2003 on my Samsung SCH-i600 with Verizon). I joined it because it's a relatively well-respected forum in the smartphone community and a place that everyone asking questions elsewhere is sent to.
The problem is this forum just lacks moderation and organization. Being new here, I feel sorry for people just showing up and having to dive through this mess. Yes, a lot of questions get repeated. But it's fiendishly easy to say "justfuckinggoogleit.com" to the point that over 80% of a user's posts reflect that..again, without giving any real help. It makes the community look bad as a whole. That's what pisses me off.
I think being called a leech kinda set me off, too, since there's nothing on my phone (except the ROM) that's not either bought-and-paid-for or freeware.
im not calling you specifically a leech. im calling the people with 2 posts, one being "hey, can you also send guitar hero to me too??", leeches. they are the same retards that post 400000 times "HELP! ZOMG!!! I FINALLY GOT THE ROM TO WORK BUT MY KEYBOARD LAYOUT IS MESSED UP". ya know what i think of that? **** YOU AND YOUR KEYBOARD. if you are too stupid to read or use the SEARCH function (not google), then you are too stupid to use a phone like this. i realize that most are just lazy and are above searching for the answer or reading a few pages..to them i also have a heart felt **** you.
if someone has 50 or 100 posts and asks a silly question, i will gladly provide the answer if i know it. but the guy with 2 posts in 6 months can go find it himself.
when your first reaction to an issue you have with your phone is to post it in a new thread....you dont deserve help. how about doing some of the legwork yourself instead of posting "i NEED a step by step set of instructions blah blah blah". what you NEED is a kick in the nuts.
and if you really feel that by us saying "go do a search the topic has been discussed 4500000 times" makes the community look bad.....how does the community look when you have a bunch of posts by people with 2 post to date, asking all the same questions as eachother? i think its retarded that some senior users actually have to use their signatures to list step by step instructions for some of the most talked about topics, just so they dont have to type it for the 10000th time. hows that make our community look? makes it look like there are a handful of people that know what they are doing and it makes the rest look like a buncha n00b tards that are leading eachother down the stupid trail.
SO damn true!!! On that note LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO

I am apologize for asking for a green theme, but I have been looking everywhere for one and cant find it. I'm not just some idiot stoner, in fact I am somewhat educated and have a degree from UAB in computer science. I have just recently started learning how to work with the android phones as far as modding them.
I'm not a junkie, I promise, and if I were, do you think I would have a computer and a g1 phone. I am happily married and I support my wife and kids and am on my way to owning my own house. so please don't call me a junkie just over pot. I do not use drugs, smoke cigarettes, or drink. I just smoke.
I'm not trying to advertise to anybody about smoking and could care less what anyone thinks, and I think the problem lies in all the uneducated, ignorant people who think pot is more drug than alcohol.your trying to condemn me for smoking, when there are people going homeless from alcoholism. I'm sorry that my first thread was pot related, but I havn't needed to post anything else on here because all my other questions have been answered on other posts that I have read.
I already tried to use sirmez's green version of prodigal sun but every time I do it gets past the g1 screen but will just freeze at the boot screen.
For all those educated smokers and the ones that helped plead my case thanks for the support.
I am using cyanmod 4.1.10.1 recovery 1.4 on the dream g1 the only theme that I have been able to use is one from here called dream. I'm still asking for some help
UAB? You are aight with me....I'm from Birmingham.
But anyway, when the world figure that weed is less harmful and would be more profitable than cigarettes (esp. over here and they can tax the crap out of it), it's going to be legalized and everyone can all look back at that thread and lol....
I didn't even see why it was that deep but heh...*shrugs*

Try to wipe, flash the ROM, reboot, cut off, drop back into recovery, and then flash Green_P_SuN it should not loop after that good luck

Yeah he is a good guy, he helped me by porting over a theme. Openhome is a good program, I used it before root. It did not slow the phone down much, and with a Cyan ROM it shouldn't be too bad at all. Might help with theme issues, and finding a theme you like and have it work. But you sure you want a theme like that? Would your boss mind if he walked up from behind as your checking your phone and saw the screen?
EDIT: saw that the newest openhome is having issues. Panda home is well reviewed and free.

XDA has been around a while, and the dream/android has been around almost a year. Forums by their very nature grow and become more jumbled with info and posts and repeated or useless info as time goes on. And while it is possible to slow this by posting correctly, searching, and other means, it will happen. You could archive old threads and try to gather up useful info into sticky threads, but there is no way to fix the "mess" other than a complete wipe of the forum. I can do searches and pull up threads from 2005 for example. Complaining that the forum is getting crowded and jumbled is like using a vacuum cleaner and complaining the bag is getting full. Forums are there for people to use to ask questions and share info/ideas. Some people do abuse the system with posts that neither provide useful info or ask questions. Some post without searching for answers. It will happen, but you do not have to be an a** about it, if you know the answer or better yet, know where the thread/post is that answers the question, provide a link, it will keep the new thread short and unused as the person can go to the proper thread. I agree that people should search before posting questions and search for longer than 2 minutes, but not everyone has time to search for hours for the answer to a question. My rule is, search for at a minimum of 15 minutes before asking a question, longer is better if you are finding related info and a little more digging will help. No amount of forum rules or bannings will prevent a forum from filling up and eventually becoming a "mess", merely slow the process at best.
^ was only saying this because of instead of locking delete them. They have before they will again so don't lock just delete.
Yeah, if a theme does get out of hand, deleting is good.
Its best not to argue on forums, friendly disagreements are fine. Most of the time, arguing on a forum is like arguing with a wall. Best to keep posts related to the subject matter, in this case Android related. Who cares if he likes the smoke and his first post is for a theme about it, he asked a question related to the subject of the forum.
I don't think someone should be banned or deleted just for posting in the wrong place or asking a question that a simple search would answer. However, if they make a habit of it and do it many times in a short time, a warning followed by a temp ban may be all that is needed. Of course a perma ban may be needed for repeat offenders.
This thread is off the general topic of the forum and he has said his piece and apologies, we can close this thread and move on now. No need for any more bashing or hard feelings and further craziness.
You're an idiot. There is no such thing as an "educated" smoker....you may have a good education and smoke pot, but that just makes you even more stupid.

I see the D.A.R.E. program got through to someone. Way to go, buying the governments religion.
Smoking pot isn't a big deal. Get over it. People get addicted to anything they find comfort in. Look at all the obese people that use food as a crutch, or people that are addicted to running every morning because it makes them feel better.

Ok first of all it would be more stupid. Stupider is not correct grammar. So before you go and start calling people stupid you might want to take a look in the mirror.
By the way before you come back and start throwing bad grammar again and calling me "stupider" for smoking pot or something I have never smoked or done any sort of drugs in my life. But, I do have a lot of friends that are what you might call stupider and they are actually very far from being stupid. In all honesty, probably way smarter than you'll ever be. But, enough fighting over the internet. I have other things to do. It's been fun though.
Ps. you don't have to defend yourself. You may be one of the smartest people to walk this earth. I am just basing that off the one post I have read from you and its grammar and narrow mindedness.

You Sir, are a F*ck!ing idiot! You really should educate yourself before making stupid comments. You are entitled to your own opinion. And, I will respect your opinion. But, its not Fact. As, you so irresponsibly stated. Society has an "image" of what/who a pot smoker is. They call them Burnouts, they say they're lazy, they live in Mom and Dads basement and play video games all day long without a job. I know upwards of 100 people that smoke. Every one of them are successful, educated, and decent human beings. One's you'd be proud to know. Societies image, applies to not one of them. Don't get me wrong. The others definitely do exist. But, weed is not their problem. Those people have other issues they are likely suppressing (Those people probably should not smoke. They aren't responsible enough.). But, you Sir, are a lemming. You choose to follow whats shoved down your throat by society, media, and the government. Learn to "educate" yourself about a particular subject before you make a comment about it. You will only be doing yourself a favor. Knowledge is power, Brother. Help yourself out. I am sorry for my rant. But people, please, have some backing to your statements.

Ya no kidding, its personal liberty if you want to take a shot of tequila, smoke a cigarette or hit a bong load you should have the right to do so. I have lived in 3 different countries and many states, I own a condo in downtown San Diego at the age of 25, and Im even the HOA president of the building. My lifetime resume goes on and on and on from Dive Master in Hawaii to acquiring my pilots license.
I have done all these things while smoking weed everyday of my life since I was 17. Granted Im not the average stoner but I dont think Im any more rare than the non-stoner that doesnt do anything with their life.
I have a hereditary condition that I have been prescribed marijuana for, without it I would live a much less productive life overcome by pain and nausea.
any talks of a port?
No. Its illegal
Sent from my (insert daily ROM name here) Evo 4g
I would love to see WP7 ported over to the EVO just to say "Hey is possible" but I don't think I would waste such a powerful device like the EVO on such a crappy OS. I mean don't get me wrong, there are some things that are cool about WP7 but is not enough for anyone to ditch Android and use WP7 as their primary OS. If you want to use WP7 then either buy a WP7 phone or go and buy an HD2. I have an HD2 as well as my EVO and I can tell you that the HD2 is great for the fact that it runs so many OS but with that being said, is not even close to the performance of the EVO.
Really??? Page 2 of general.

The HTC HD2 can be flashed to WP7 and Android.....is that illegal? If so, then you better inform XDA that they need to shut their doors because they have a bunch of illegal activity going on within their site.......I hate people like you...I really do!

If it was done, it would never be put on this site. Microsoft goes after this stuff pretty hard. You have to have a license to run wp7. So could it be done? Sure, but not here.

I put that i have an otterbox case so if someone had a question about it they can ask me. Because I try to be helpful. In fact most of my time spent here is helping or at least trying to help other people. 90% of my posts are answering other people's questions. I spend a LOT of time on this site, and see tons of casual posters come in and clutter this forum up and it makes it harder for everybody else to find the answers they are looking for when they have to sift through bull**** thread after bull**** thread. But you're right, I could have been nicer about it but I'm tired and have a headache and don't really feel like being nice right now. And I have no manners.

Okay guys, after the ridiculous debacle today, those of us who frequent the IRC channels decided that it was time for a change.
For most of the day, that change was moving to a new channel. However, after some talking a few of us actually got cnz(RoadRAGEN) to listen to reason. He's turned over control of the room to an unbiased bot and gave a number of us operator passwords. To top it off, he's agreed to stay off the op list unless absolutely necessary (he won't be raging out anymore, he has his own private channel for that now). The rest of us can sign into the bot and get ops so we can keep peace and order if needed. Otherwise, the only people who get automatic ops are the bots and no one else.
Okay, first the one and only new rule. No more posting logs on xda. the moderators are probably sick of it by now and it accomplishes nothing besides starting fights. if you do post logs and we catch you, you'll get banned until you take it down. To make it worse, we don't stop cnz from doing it himself. It's counterproductive and stupid.
Lastly, cnz(RoadRAGEN) said he will dial it down inside the channel and around here. He had a talk with the moderators today and we had a talk with him in the channel. XDA didn't ban him and neither will we. It was talked about for a minute...but he banned me first...it was a fiasco. BUT, it's fixed now.
Now before you get all apprehensive, remember that despite cnz being a complete douchebag who often forgets what "crossed the line" means, he's still one of our most talented developers and has contributed a lot to this young community. Every rom up in here either directly uses his original updater script, uses a heavily modded version or pieces of it. Yes, sometimes he's incredibly insensitive and no one in their right minds would defend his personality or his actions (especially today), but he understands what happened here today and knows that doing it again is stupid.
It's all about the Android so you can come out from under your beds, the boogieman isn't also the doorman anymore.
If you're still angry about the incident, it's understandable. But remember, like xda, irc is a community and in no way do the actions today represent the community as a whole. It was as a community that we discussed the problem and it was a community that we dealt with it. So don't think this decision was made lightly.
If you don't agree, please keep the flaming to yourself. We don't need another out of control thread about IRC around here.
So this means my +q will be taken off?

Yes, but it might take a minute, we're still kinda learning how to operate under the "bot is god" paradigm.
**edit**
nevermind we already lifted all the bans and stuff. all's well. clean slate.
I would love to learn how to dev and step up but have been avoiding irc due to this situation.

I dont know what the back story is here and quite frankly I dont care.
What happens on an IRC channel outside of XDA does not belong here.
If theres drama off site, keep it off site.

Thank you mods. U know why.

Perhaps I should point out that my question was rhetorical.
It's as simple as this.
IRC is not XDA...
DO NOT bring IRC related drama to XDA...
It really doesn't get much simpler than that does it?
(again, rhetorical question)
It's very simple...that's why there's no drama in this thread

I seem to have missed all that, so I guess I'm the ignorant party at the moment. I really don't think the changes made or this thread should be held responsible for the unwieldy comments of others, though. I've been nothing but civil in all this
But I don't blame you, though. I can't imagine people are going quietly into that good night and I'm sure I've been getting my fair share of the flames as well for trying to mediate all this nonsense.
I wasn't pointing the blame in any particular direction.
Just making sure everyone is on the same page.

Of course not, I didn't mean to insinuate that lol.
When I went to bed last night everyone was on the same page, but I got a bunch of PMs saying I was "flamed by some noob" and the thread/posts are gone (I guess that was your doing lol, thank you). I was just saying the angry words of a few don't represent the opinions of the rest of us.
People have their opinions. That's not illegal yet, so I'm not offended. However, if my name is eventually going to be Mudd, then I'll probably end up ceasing my attempts to help out and go back to my little corner to make roms again

Hey guys just fyi, I'm not associated with the channel anymore. After nearly a dozen PMs in IRC and almost another dozen on here about how I'm a hate monger and a jerk off, I've decided that it's not worth it and I've had enough.
To all of you who PMed me with negative things, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
To those of you who appreciated the efforts, sorry I couldn't do more.
Being ostracized because I refuse to bend to Mob Rule just feels wrong to me, but that's what is happening. Apparently I was being offensive by treating everyone with equal respect without discrimination and not being an anti-cnz hate monger like everyone else.
It sucks, I liked that irc channel, but there's capable people running it still. I won't be going back. I'm tired of being nearly constantly flamed for trying to be fair and helpful.
*sigh* I feel better now. Peace guys.
This thread may end up locked as irrelevant and to that, I will not object but I have a few things that I must say to those in this community who have played a hand in the game that is may life.
I would ask of a moderator intent on locking this thread to allow it at least a few hours to be seen by any who may wish to publicly respond, although it seem unlikely that one would, and obviously this request is nothing more than a request and I will not feel discontent if my request is denied.
I have a great number of things that I thought I wanted to say to you all. All such things were negative until recently.
First of all I would like to say what I feel is important regardless of how comical this will be to the less honorable of you involved because I must say it:
I forgive you. Of my own free will I fully forgive any wrong doing done against me by any and all who participated.
Secondly: (and this part was even more difficult for me)
I thank you. While I feel as though I have (almost literally) been through hell and back again in the last eight to ten months I have come to the point where I can forgive the actions against me, which leaves me in such a state that I have no option but to thank everyone for all the things that can be seen as a silver lining.
Through the course of these events I feel I have learned things that I would never have even considered otherwise and as a result I feel I have grown in a way that will benefit me and anyone with whom I am associated. Although I know not what your intentions were, you have changed me in ways that I can call positive and for that...
Thank you.
I will overcome.
Oh my... I must thank you again already.
As soon I clicked submit a weight that cannot be measured was lifted from me and I honestly cannot say that anything I have ever experienced was as intense or liberating as this burden dissolving.
Although this may be Stockholm Syndrome, I have nothing but love for you, my captors, and hope to continue to grow in such ways.
I should also point out that while I have obviously been unable to stop you and probably remain powerless in this regard; you have no cause to continue... it will not affect me any longer and you will only harm yourselves.
PS
I have decided to burn all of the evidence that I have collected including some IP addresses and phone numbers that were not easy to obtain.
I will seek no vengeance.

I don't know that will ever end. I am tested everyday in ways that near break me every time and it almost cost me my humanity.
I think that someone has distorted and warped a sacred philosophy to the point where they no longer understand it....
"Do what though wilt"
Is only the one and true law if your will is not compromised by the sickness that is jealousy.
One's will is only divinely backed if one has no ill intent.
One's will cannot be stopped be if the outcome benefits all involved.
Let me find a quote from a more informed source. It can be summarized well by one smarter than myself.
and honestly, regardless of whether the storm had passed or if I temporarily rested safely in it's eye;
I had not yet forgiven so it all still existed in full effect insomuch as the way it affected me.
Forgive me but, what exactly did you do wrong?
"Give wings to your fancy, for fairer than any picture that you can paint with thought is the future that you can claim with will. Once you have imagined, once you have chosen, say, "I will." And there is nothing on earth that can hinder you for long: for you are immortal and the future is obedient to you.
You say death may stand in your way? It will not.
You say that poverty and sickness or friends and enemies obstruct your path? They certainly will not. Nothing can, unless you permit it.
But you must choose, and never again must you wish for anything for you need only say, " I will. " You must say it always in thought and in deed, not only in these words now.
And henceforth never for a moment must your purpose change, but your constant intention must turn everything you touch in line with it.
Then, if that which you have chosen is not harmful, it will be yours before long."

If that was knowledge I possessed; I would have had no issues.

but whether or not it was your intention to, your question just made me realize what was missing from my post and I thank you for it.

I have always maintained the belief that I must have committed offense to warrant punishment but I have not yet ascertained my "crimes."
Regardless, I am sorry.

I'm sorry. I know it probably doesn't make much sense and I was very vague on purpose.
Trust when I say that its no longer important how or who and about all I'll say about the what is that: for quite some time a large few or small many have put a lot of effort into effing with my es and I think I nearly let my cheese slide off of my cracker a couple of times.
and thanks for the offer
(LMAO the funny part is that for a lot of the time a fresh point of view would have great but I had very bad luck trying to explain it and even worse luck getting help... so I think I just... gave up on asking )
Then again.. maybe some of the "What" does need to be discussed... because the modifications people were able to make on my phone were disturbing and maybe if I knew what information to provide we could tighten the security for everyone else so these hacks don't get any more out of control.
I have erased/burned most of the stuff that could have implicated anyone as a gesture of good will, but I think I did save some of the modified apps in a couple of backups.
Any thoughts on what I could upload that could be used?
An example that we could both benefit from and protect again malice :
Whoever was involved was able to permanently root my phone in param/.lfs to such a degree that even Sprint's technicians couldn't remove it.
It got to the point where they would just hand me another phone when I walked in... no fees or anything.
We don't know one another my friend, but through Christ I pray you'll be fine. And what doesn't destroy you can only make you stronger.

I don't remember a thread quite like that. That does however sound like a combination of a couple threads, maybe?
The only thread I posted about me being hacked was an embarrassing fail in which I thought the situation was more serious...basically, I bit some deeply buried misimformation hook, line and sinker and thought that it was uncovered fact.
I would enjoy it all if it were a (b) movie I was watching.
This forum is probably a good place to ask: does anyone know anything about removing hacks that are coded into images stored on a protected partition?
Sorry that I don't know enough about hacking to identify specifics. It took me forever to even realize where they were and I have only ever been to modify /param/.lfs with the use of an application.
I don't mean to disrespect but you sound plain crazy bro. If you've been hacked and think that your identity is in jeopardy, contact the authorities and your bank. This kind of thing happens all the time and there resources available to prevent any harm being done.
That being said, you are an important person around here and have done a lot of amazing work. Thank you for that. I hope you can ease your mind because you are coming off as a little unwell.
Life is to short to have spent these last many months worrying about this. Go on a camping trip or something.

I don't understand? I mean no disrespect either, but I have no idea how anything I have said would make me sound "unwell" or "crazy."
I would not be offended by whatever clarity you give me there.
All I have said (basically) is that I have learned a lot and forgive malice because I have moved on.
If I were forced to describe that in a word, I would choose, "healthy."

By that I basically just mean paranoid and kinda out there. Like you are spun.
Did someone here send you a file with a Trojan or something? How or why would somebody want to hack your phone?
Do you presume they are still an active member here and are reading this thread, and that is why you made it?
Like you said, it's vague. That's why it comes off a little odd, to me at least.
