I saw a couple of these threads around xda. Just wanted to share and see what you guys come up with.
Original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1571645
All you do is just post and complete this sentence "You know you're rooted when.."
Examples:
masaidjet: You know you're rooted when you tell a neighborhood hoe to " wipe her cache "
wscott9903: You know you're rooted when 1/2 of your apps require superuser permission.
feralicious: You know you're rooted when your spouse tells you they're leaving you and taking the kids and you think "perfect timing, (insert dev name here) just released a new ICS ROM".
jayochs: you know you're rooted when your phones buggy as hell lol
putney1477: You know you're rooted when, you husband, wife, significant other gets a new phone and says, don't you dare come near this phone, it works fine!
jackpot08: You know your rooted when when spend more time flashing roms than using your phone"
...everytime you turn on your phone you get Android is updating.....

This has been discussed a lot but mostly during the 2 weeks before I got the phone. I didn't know what to search for and when I did try searching I couldn't find the right topic
I'm on rooted stock using whatever build the phone came with out of the box
And I keep on getting this error

Is google wallet safe to use, what if you lose your phone. Can someone access your credit card info?

Google wallet is locked, in that everytime you open the app, you need to input your password. So unless they know the pin, they won't have access. Additionally, you can set up an additional screen lock pin.
worked like a charm

Reboot- phone powers off fully and then boots up.
Hot reboot- phone remains on and reloads configuration files. (Ie build.prop init.d init.rc etc)
someone else may be able to give a more detailed description

A hot reboot means the shell restarts, but the file system remains active.

Hot reboots are typically used when you install a custom status bar icon, mods, and other things pertaining to the shell.

Confusion.
Alright, so I can use hot reboot when i modified some system files while the phone was on, like build.prop or anything like that and reload those files to apply the mods without actually shutting the device down? Sounds cool! Who invented this idea? That guy deserves a thanks!

I've tried grepping the smali, can't see anything...
so the other day i saw a new app called magna carta and checked it out. for those of you that dont know what it is: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/06/2...tall-to-be-the-first-to-get-jay-zs-new-album/
now according to the article it would say your phone is not compatible when trying to install it, but when i did it went through the install and everything and said i would receive the album. im wondering if this is because i am on rootbox and the build is changed and it makes it compatible with the app.
what id like is for someone who is completely stock to try install the apps and post results. my theory is that if it wont let you install we could change the build.prop and trick it to think it was samsung thus letting any rooted android user have access to getting the album free.
funniest part is im not a rap fan nor a jay-z fan but i think this would be cool for those who are and dont have a galaxy.
I'm stock and rooted and unlocked but this is what i get.

I'm on AOKP and I was able to download it, so I'm wondering if you have 4.2.2 on your phone you can get it.
If this was the case than someone with a nexus could get it.

I checked the build prop on this rom and it hasn't been changed, so I'm not sure how I was able to get it, I was expecting to get the "not compitable with your device" message, but it gave me the install option.
I was able to download the album as well. I know a lot of s4 owners had problems with the app. Also I'm using Banks minimal gapps, so not sure if thats the reason why I was able to get it.
Hi. I own a Sony xperia as. I was on cm 10.1 RC2 and decided to flash 4.1 stock ftf using flashtool. After many failed attempts I flash yakundu's stock zipaligned and rooted ROM after wiping. But I got the boot animation followed by exclamation mark in a triangle.
Luckily the recovery was still accessible so I reflashed cm 10.1 rc 2.
After this I tried several other 4.1 ROMs like trinity etc but the same thing happens again and again.
Any idea how I can go back to 4.1?
Thanks!

When I first saw it I turned the phone off immediately then booted it again and heaved a sigh of relief when I confirmed that the recovery was working.

Well charge your battey , load a stock kernel and leave it , and if your lucky you may get it to boot
It is part of the kernel, and must not be disturbed otherwise it may result in a hard brick

Guys, I know what he's talking about. He's not talking about the wrench and spanner logo with the bar at the bottom. It's a different image by itself, which just has an exclamation mark with the phone lying under it. Like the dead Android when your flashing goes wrong. Except, all the flashing was successful, it booted through the kernel, but was unable to boot into system. That's what I think is happening. I tried mounting and unmounting and re mounting his system, but nothing worked. In the recovery, flashing is successful, but it's unable to boot into the system.

The poster is my friend and I saw it first hand. I wanted to clarify that it wasn't the flashing logo, and hoped to find a solution from you guys. Gonna try flash tool and see what happens, though.
