Actually, I think you have a problem.

Wow, this is great.

I could just do this all day!

I'm famished.

I could really use a beer right now.

Anything good on TV?

How tall is the empire state building?

This is a second demo answer!
Zomg it's so great.

This is not a very good answer.

Thanks for the upboats.

You never have anything nice to say.

That's a great answer.

Fear of spiders is arachnophobia, fear of tight spaces is claustrophobia, fear of Chuck Norris is called logic

This one is the best so far imo!!!

I like pie.

I love lamp.

Glad I use the search button!

After upgrading to the excellent 3VO ROM, I realized that there was a couple of things that I needed to do... so I searched... and you realize then how many people don't search, and fill up the boards with the same crap... But man, when you find a gem, like this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501081&highlight=mms+size+setting it makes it alright to read up on something that you don't need for your phone, but instead, because it's late, kids and wife are in bed, you need a little humor. Thanks is all I can say!
This site is great, and gives me many reasons to keep my dash. Thanks for all you do guys! Have a good night!
P.S. Captain Totti, you should start using this website out to help those type of people!

Apoligies for Referencing 4/20

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*
*and this is coming from someone who doesn't smoke, drink, or takes anything*
You should PM crotalusfreak here on xda or on twitter. He has a killer "legalize it" theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526659&highlight=legalize
and has put it on the market for the various home replacement apps (openhome, ahome, ect) but besides that, he is an extremely good guy and will possibly make you one or port his older one.
That thread should have been closed right away as there is a thread already for theme request. How about do it in the right area to begin with
I tried to use this legalize it theme but it wont work with my phone.

No just tired of XDA becoming a mess because of threads like this! No need for the first one as they can't read and even more no sense for this one taking up more space for the MODS to have to deal with. People are complaining of XDA becoming a mess and these threads are the reason why!!!!
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
i like ham

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. Millions of people also suffer from addiction to weed, and my guess is that you are one of them. Go to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting and stop posting useless requests about drugs on this forum, its inappropriate and not "cool".

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.
Yeah the thread is useless, the guy is just new. Take it easy on him.
+1 to myself for another reply to this terrible thread.

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.

on the fence about buying an hd7...

teeter tottering.
any peopple coming from android in here? !
well, could you push me one way or the other please?
so basically, convince me to buy a hd7 and support winpho7.
I had an iPhone 4, then traded it in for the Captivate and then I sold the captivate for the focus and I am really pleased with the focus so far. My email syncs great, the GPS (which was a pain to have for the captivate) is spot on and accurate to 20ft on my phone. Xbox live is a plus and they have great games so far in the Marketplace some before android. The battery life is better than the captivate and I played Rocket Riot on my phone for 2 hours and only 15% battery used.
I really enjoy the stability of this phone and you should try it. You wont be disappointed.
thanks!
my pet peeves are no multitasking and wifi hotspot though.
i hate the lack of hackability, i do all kinds of my stuff to my phones .

Thank's closed thread.

Its a christmas time!

All i want for xmas is new rom!
Umm, why not choose one then? No real need for this to be in Development. Try putting this in General next time.
If you're looking for stability go for something like CyanogenMOD 6.1, LeeDroid or Oxygen 1.0.4. If you want something a bit more experimental, but extremely cool go for Oxygen v2. It's based on Gingerbread.
Simc13, you've been 2 years here, but still you've opened a thread like this in development?
Pick a rom, install, then you're good to go.
while i agree with the above, people can be this harsh at xmas????

Just because winterfest is upon us, it does not we should forget about the forum rules.
Sorry for my stupidity. i just drink some wiskey!
marry christmas to everyone!
Grow up MrBadgerMilk! He's just trying to be jolly...
Yea he may have posted in the wrong section but to be honest it's the forum 'nazis' like you that waste more posts!
Go back to your perfect life..and happy Christmas.
For the record I'm usually the most laid back person in the world, but it just seems to be getting out of hand on here recently, that's all.

Post moved to General as this is where it should be.
Like it or not, the rules are here for a reason, just because it's Christmas doesn't mean the rules go out the window.
On a lighter note, to those that don't like Christmas... Bah humbug to you. To the rest.. Merry Christmas, follow the rules, and have a great New Year
lol merry christmas

New idea...

Just to prove a point I would love to gut my Moto 360 and put a real dumb watch movement in it. Its so good looking and yet so useless this would be pretty cool. Does anyone have any thought on how this could be done?
What would your point be, that you love wasting money? This has got to be the dumbest idea i've ever read. Either you're trolling or just stupid.
Trolling. I've found that it's sidelong encouraged across XDA so I try not to feed them.
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
