[Q] Youtube reviewer?

so heres the dealio... i havent seen many youtubers posting vids on youtube bout our phone and roms with it. so heres what i was thinking... i have a 1080p camcorder... and i did a lil videoing for the sgs4g. wasnt so great but it was there. But now i feel more comfortable with making videos for the phone. Would you guys like to me to start making videos?
Yes please.
Please do, i was thinking about picking up this phone when it releases in white, so your videos would seriously help my decision.

I already started doing that a few days ago, covered dabomb and beastmod so far. I would do more but im sick atm and at this point its too hard to hide in the vids. It would just be embarrassing to hack up a lung on camera or have to take the extra time with editing crap out. I will do more as time allows but i planned on covering install and review vids nightly.
Looks like we have a friendly competition (; haha jkjk dude i have the flu... I cant even get up -.- smh imma set up the account soon and start a juggernaut video as soon as possible <3

I have a bud doing my youtube spread and intro right now. Hopefully I should be back up and running to do two install and review videos tonight.

Just wanted to THANK QBking77 for Videos

Since one xda member started a post giving a much well deserved Thanks to SFhub I think we should send a big shot out to QBking77 I know his video tutorials have been a big help to all of us from installation, reviews, tips, and feedback. Thanks QBking77 for your help keep up the great work and Aloha from MJhawaii

Absolutely agree. If only people knew how hard qbking works behind the scenes...he doesn't get to flash something and sit back and enjoy it like most of us do. He's constantly changing setups to make the videos as close to release as possible and does this on several devices. Big thanks goes out to qbking. He probably eliminates hundreds of questions on XDA with his videos

I'm happy to jump on this bandwagon as well. His videos are excellent and can make things that seem difficult suddenly look simple.
Thanks qbking, I hope the videos keep on coming.

I absolutely love qbking's videos, they have made rooting/flashing ROMs/modding my phones a ton easier since I am the type of person that learns visually. Thank you very much for being so awesome, QBKing77.
The man saved me countless headaches getting acquainted with me (at the time) new SGSIIET4G.
I watch all his ****, even when it's not SGSII related.
Love that man, in the way only one nerd can love another.

Agreed.. I made a screencast of miui and got credit for it. But he is on top of his game, I realised on the one video I did it takes quite a bit of time to do what he does! And he does it without complaint and helps lots of people. Good job qbking77!

AGREED qbking77 you da man and the legend of the android install
He keeps doing more too its not just one thing he has his qbking77 corner show and he started doing giveaways and he has supported the devs who all deserve a big thanks, this is really a great community

QBKing77 is the best. His videos helped out a lot. I also bought the FlyGrip on his recommendation and I absolutely love it. Thank you QBKing77!

Same question. I just refreshed his thread and it was gone. I mean I have seen threads closed because someone disagreed with something or another, but completely deleted?
I'm curious as well...
I was in the middle of reading it clicked the next page and poof thread not found just happened a couple minutes ago. Fortunately i got the DL minutes before the link was gone. You still running rabbit? How was it going I was only half way through the thread. I still have the link should I post it here or would that break some rule?
I'll bet its being purged of useless posts.

Well that's what I was getting at, like when Xboarder broke the rules they closed his thread, leaving it with comments as to why it was closed and such. I don't see why they would just delete a thread without any statements being made as to why. Either there was an accident, or it sounds pretty shady.
Oh well, I think I still have his sourceforge open on my other PC, but I would assume he is still sleeping or has other obligations right now.
Well data doesnt work so i doenload racings ics port and its flawless so far. I love apex launcher ))) but yeah. Im waiting on ravers because im an aosp guy but its weird that its suddenly gone brah.

Yeah, that makes sense. I am generally a patient person so I guess I will turn off conspiracy theory mode and just do some reading, take a late midterm, and hope to hear about progress when I get home.
I would like to take this opportunity for a rant of mine though:
<rant>
No one seemed to do it on Raver's post last night before I went to bed, but I find it so frustrating when people fill up a thread with useless posts, AND THEN everyone fills it up with more useless posts about how useless the previous posts were. You'll watch a thread go off topic, and then get a dozen "let's get back on topic"s in a row. It's part of the problem! I think one person says it, and then a lot of other people don't actually read it.
</rant>
(Deep breath)
Well, hopefully I can either come back to this thread later for what happened, or Raver will have a thread up about his rom
also

Nice second post?
yea deleted while i was reading the thread. luckily i got the file
I think its in a cleaning process
+1 on all the above. Got to page 20 then... My heart doesn't know what to do. Adrenaline is still coursing through my blood but figured something in the thread is probably just being changed/fixed.
Not much of a poster, more of a pm'er/tester/gtalk but figured I would also see what was up.
I'm quite curious also, last night was crazy and it did get quite a bit out of hand with all the unnecessary posts and such. Hopefully the thread shows up soon because i really want to see the updates on the build which i may add is absolutely fantastic!
Some douchebag saidhe PM'ed a mod and told him to clean up the thread and with all the flaming and BS in the thread, i supposed the mod deleted it. LAME CALL XDA!!!!
This is why all the good dev's always leave XDA. Cause they create masterpieces and its not their fault a butt load of people flood their post with a bunch of jizz. Then a crybaby whines to a mod and they come and remove the thread. It happend to a few of mine in the past when I dev'ed fot the Dell Streak and a couple for the Vibrant.

I finished downloading seconds while reading the thread to page 2.
Now I'm stuck in a place of solid/GB/patience or impatience for legit ICS &/or Brick.
This must be Limbo. haha
Check the DEV section. There is already a more stable skyrocket port out.

OKAY - What Else Sucks?

Let's see. So far, we have established the following "facts":
Sony sucks because they won't release ICS for the Xperia Play, even though they promised.
Verizon sucks for locking the boot loader, breaking 2.3.4, using CDMA instead of GSM like the rest of the civilized world, dropping their unlimited plan and forcing people to shared data plans and, well, just because.
Devs who won't dev CDMA patches because they have no way to test them suck. Especially the ones who can't make it work on ICS Beta.
Any app you have to pay for automatically sucks.
People who still like Sony REALLY suck.
People who don't like Sony also suck.
People who don't take seriously any post that asks "Which ROM is better?" suck.
People who don't believe there will ever be an Xperia Play 2 suck.
People who flame this thread suck.
...
Did I miss anything?

Think you should cool your jets a little.
Its not Sonys fault we aren't getting ICS. Its the devs like Gameloft who don't want to update their code so that the Touch-pads work that are the root of this. The Play is a gaming device and releasing an update that essentially removes the Touch-pads would be a stupid idea. Imagine if Microsoft released an OS that looks pretty but removed mouse support.......Exactly
I support Sony for that reason. Its not good business to pretty much remove the main feature of the device. Whining about it on a forum isn't going to change their minds is it?
As far as devs on XDA go, I understand why they don't make CDMA variants if they have no way of testing themselves. Why risk being made out to be the bad guy by breaking a bunch of users devices? Would you trust someone making a ROM for a device they don't own? Say, someone comes over from the HTC crowd with a ROM for the Play even though they don't own one. Like hell would I risk flashing it.
EDIT: May have misread OP a little If I have I'm sorry
Yeah, you totally missed the point. It was a joke about all the things being griped about. Hence the

This topic sucks.
Seriously everyone, please consider the opinion of others, either they are satisfied with Gingerbread or they are disappointed by Sony not releasing ICS. Both camps have various valid reasons to think their ways, stop trying to counter the opinion of the other side at all costs, it's counter productive.
I think everything with sony sucks.. This is the reason why i go away from the play.
Sucking also sucks

Root box Camera

I am currently on the newest release of Root Box. Included in the update is the HDR feature. Anybody know ways to take pictures very still? Lol I twitch a little bit and the entire picture comes out blurry. Any tips would help if not I guess I'll check out some HDR apps.

LMAO, I have the same problem so I just set the phone on a table and held it there and got one steady, unfortunately I don't enough of a difference between it or a regular shot. I think it is more of an outside thing.... I'll try later when the coffee wears off haha.
