Hello, I'm grimm!

Midgetgrimm that is. Hello XDA, finally after hearing enough times of "check the xda" or "it's def in the XDA" I figured I'd swing in and see what's up. I'm somewhat new to the nitty gritty stuff, but I can hold my own. I run a DarkSlide Rom on my Rooted Droid X with custom boots and it's super stable. My girl is getting a new smartphone tomorrow, I think I am more excited as it will be a new phone for me to learn and Root. Well I hope to have a growing post count, so I will see all of you soon.

That's great, glad to have you. If you haven't already, be sure to get the XDA app from the market because.. well it's pretty awesome lol.
But yea man, what type of phone is she getting? You are aware of the phones from CES and upcoming MWC right?
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon

Hey thanks. I just dl'ed the XDA app. I love tapatalk. She isn't sure and I don't wanna pressure lol. I think she'll go with and Android OS its just which one. Personally I wouldn't mind playing with the new windows phone. I used have an Omnia and I loved flashing and teching that phone. I really love Android, all the fun and its growing market and its openness to the people is just Wozniakish circa 1980's. Lol. Thanks again.

No pressure, as long as there's not another iPhone user walking around out there. I'm not biased or anything.

hello, grimm..

Hello Grimm

I had a friend come over last Friday and she asked me a question about her Facinate...I teased her for having it cluttered when she replied with "Do whatever you want to it...I don't care." That made me smile. I didn't have time to do much to it, but shes coming back over this week and I plan on doing a bit more to it.
I too am curious what Grimms girlfriend got though.

Lawl I'm starting to see why the mods made a whole new forum for the iPhone, instead of integrating it with xda. xD
It's like segregation you know. xD

Haha thanks everyone! So my girl got the Continuum and yes she will let me play with it but only minimal surgery is allowed. Prob a root maybe a rom. Im really interested in learning to change the bootani's. Well hello bak to all. Im sure we will all meet again somewhere on these forums

NoSensi Q&A - Noob Friendly!

Welcome to the Noob Friendly Q&A section for NoSensi Roms by Victoryo. All versions Supported. All credit for ROM development is strictly Victoryo's - so be sure to give him ALL your praise. And Please, let's build each other up - and work together to make this Spectacular ROM the best it can be. Cheers!!!!

Nice post. Keep up the good work.
(Since you said questions only in your reply I edited my post to include some questions I had.) (How do I install this rom? Do I have to root my phone first? How do you root a phone? Does rooting hurt? Does this work on a Motorola Startac or Razr?)

Look who has Jokes! Lol.... Dirty.
In Order from last to first :
(5)No, unless properly ported by a competent developer to match your Razrs build and....... Wait a Razr? Must have missed that memo. (4) Rooting hurts only when your ill-informed and are chastised with an Iron Fist. (3) Rooting is Simple - Download the Ace Hack Kit then search for two hours for the 'Effen' manual which you didn't realize was included in the effen Hack Kit, start over again, and utilizing this most elusive of manuals, do it right. (I really did this BTW) I was told by a scary dude with Fists of Iron that 'The right way is never easy, the easy way is never right.' (If this fails - DO NOT SEARCH - your situation is unique and probably hasn't been answered. Wait for the lady with the diapers, she will wipe your ass for you.) (2) No YOU don't have to root it. Here at XDA - we do everything for you! (1) Install this ROM only after being Iron Fisted, Freshly Changed and wiped - from there ROM Manager, Clockwork Mod or 4ext recovery does the rest.
Please do not read the Roms OP or ORIGINAL POST. There will be no information that will be worth your while there. It's usually just filled with each roms characteristics, specifics, and essentials, tips, tricks, and Do's & Donts, as well as other useless information.
For the New dude (or MOD ) who read this and took it seriously, please don't. Nerds got jokes too fools! Now then Wolf - your gonna get me banned before my first full 24 hours of support! Thanks for keeping it lighthearted though, and please people : Flash the ROM and ask away!

R O F L M A O ! ! ! Great post. Very informative. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me so thoroughly. It's people like you who make XDA what it is. Thanks again and keep up the good work. (I guess I will have to flash this rom now that I know how to do it. I am still sure I will have plenty of questions though.)

LMAO, I won't dare try to get another fascicious response in - so quickly anyways.... Had a good one for the Sega Genesis, and the dingleberrys. You reading this Z? It's ALL going to hell since you retired!!!!!! It's Zelendels fault! We have no one to Iron Fist us!!!
On a side note - and to bring a sense of actual support to the thread - here's a tidbit we need to add to the NoSensi OP. When installing a NoSensi theme - please uninstall FB updates. The original theme thread made that clear, and I totally forgot. It really jacks FB up.
There. Finest Support Available on XDA.

I'm sorry man i actually laughed out loud reading this post i had to get in on it. seriously though thanks for the support and no more disruptions the floor is yours sir

Lol, I love it man, keeps things light - hoping a noob or two or ten may be enticed to give it a shot if its laid back and relaxed. Hell maybe a veteran will find it appealing. Anywho - No worries on this end - I'm no Mod....... Yet.
At least NoSensi isn't sitting with a fat goose egg. I would have cried finally getting a chance to.support a Rom in a big way and No Post were made.... An OP Support thread too? (Thanks again Victoryo, and again....) It's right perfect for now. Next step - ShroomySense, or hopefully NoSensi4G for Inspires utilizing our OTA radio and basebuild.... Victoryo was working on one but there were a few glitches and he is DesireHD. Maybe he will just turn it over to me and he can keep the credit. Guess I better go on and put my phone down for awhile - I've rode this pony long enough.

shroomy sense? ok you've peaked my interest. I'll be keeping my eye on you. it is a good rom though and because there isn't a hundred noobs in here asking questions is a tribute to that. no problems= no questions= good rom
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

Lol... Yes - ShroomySense. It might just be a grand aspiration, but the only ROM that is available themed already is Honeysense and that is based off of Stonerk's work. And with Stoners work being so popular - its unique sure, but not exclusive. Now that the OTA is out for Inspire I been dying to do this, or get a start anyways. But ShroomySense would have a very psychedelic vibe. Wolf Imade me a Animated mushroom boot animation that's pretty beastly. That was where the brainchild began forming. Then I thought couldn't a battery meter be a mushroom? And one thing I have Not seen at all is any sort of tye-dye accents or button Mods or, is it possible, Overscroll glow!? What I love about HoneyHD theme is the inverted blue on black - but any colors would look good on black, especially tyedye if it would be possible.
So anyhow, I am getting a laptop that I am hoping isnt too old to run everything I will need to do all this, and actually it should be here any moment. As far as NoSensi goes - my phone loves it. I have actually only flashed once in about a month, that was to give Pirates rumrunner a go. NoSensi has been rock solid since day one. I wouldn't have opened the OP if it was constantly being barraged - and Since V doesn't have an Inspire I'm more than happy to lend a hand. I learn so much helping other people out that its more of a privilege than anything...

dude a rom like that would be epic. I'd be all over it. love everything about it, even though my psychedelic days are behind me. I guess I'm still a stoner at heart though. tye-dye overscroll glow is a brilliant idea not sure how easily that could be implemented though. I cant help but think the buttons would be easier, but who knows I'm just starting to play around with themeing so I could be way off base. anyway great idea good luck with it
edit: by the way if you get a laptop that just aint quite up to snuff, slap ubuntu on it. that runs well on just about anything

Hmmmmm.... I don't know dyliho..... I was thinking you should do more of a Baroque theme.
Edit: Good to see you considering it.

Hey I didn't break any themes! Oh - Baroque as in Rennaissance-ish Italy... Yeah, that might work. I could have Bach and Chopin ringtones, and Gaudy exhuberant stylings wrapped in classic art from that Era!
Hmmm.... I will think about that. Ok. Probably not! Lol, check this out though - this definiton could be implicated with the Nature of what I want to build - not the stylings though....
Baroque period, era in the history of the Western arts roughly coinciding with the 17th century. Its earliest manifestations, which occurred in Italy, date from the latter decades of the 16th century, while in some regions, notably Germany and colonial South America, certain of its culminating achievements did not occur until the 18th century. The work that distinguishes the Baroque period is stylistically complex, even contradictory. In general, however, the desire to evoke emotional states by appealing to the senses, often in dramatic ways, underlies its manifestations. Some of the qualities most frequently associated with the Baroque are grandeur, sensuous richness, drama, vitality, movement, tension, emotional exuberance, and a tendency to blur distinctions between the various arts.
Baroque sounds pretty cool. A New Age Baroque definition with A Hippie era look. I was being sarchastic up top - reading the.definition again, it is exactly the vision I have...

[THEME] SunDrenched Tomatoe very early Alpha

This is a very early alpha of my next theme, it has some errors, overlapping text in carrier window in drop down. thought id post it up to let others work on if they'd like to help out with it. Its best to flash over a clean install of the classic as it doesnt include widgets or clocks yet but looks good with the originals included in the rom. I didnt take screen shots during the test flash but it does work with no bootloops just is nowhere near perfect yet but i figured id release the alpha to let others play with and get a feel for whats to come. Feel free to mod it anyway you like as its just an alpha for all to tear up, laugh at whatever youd like to do with it =]] enjoy. Oh and if you dont know wipe cche dalvik cache flash and enjoy :| if you can enjoy this lol. mostly messed it up cuz im half asleep and missed somethings when modding like where to move that damn text in carrier window shoulda be aligned right DOH!

feel free to do with this theme as you like I've decided to not update this for a few days while I redo it without the uot so I've gotta grab some tools and learn em real quick then I will release an actual theme of the same name but it will be different with same colorscheme but I wanna release th final as an entire theme not just a partial as this one turned out luckily for me I'm tech savvy and a Gimp master just gonna have to get the proper tools and such so I can give u guys something far better quality and not this garbage I'm gonna set the eta early next week but may be sooner or longer we'll play it by ear I will keep u updated and may ask for help along the way feel free to chime in with ideas/ requests if u try it out sent from my phone so sorry for the rambling run on =]

I'm an ePOS technician at the moment, although my background was all in telecomms / datacomms.
When not working I enjoy getting out into the countryside, going out on my mountain bike (although don't get as much time for that nowadays as I might like), or spending time with my kids (when I get the weekend access of course)
Well; you wanted a volunteer

Good idea, I work as a Java lead in an investment back....

I'm an Orthopaedic Surgeon. Wish i had something awesome to say about my tech background - but there's none.
I dilly dally in every possible hobby, when i get the time, which is usually after hospital hours, and if I'm not in the E.R. I'm most active betwenn 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. which is dedicated to digital art, PC Gaming, Facebook snooping etc. In the day, when i get time, I either go biking (motorcycle - The Royal Enfield 350cc Electra) or roam around with my Canon 550D capturing light. What I do on XDA is out there for you to see. Though with work increasing progressively, it's taking a toll on all these...
Anyone else ?

Hi there! I'm Martin, 32, building contractor.
Went to the shops today with itching wallet, well... One S is far too thin to be comfy in daily use, screen is terrible (imho desire s screen looks much sharper and clear, even with lower res). One X is HUGE, screen is beautiful indeed, but... Did I mention it is HUGE? Also it's too light for my taste.
I think I'll stay here for a while. Desire S is still doing it's job for me, I love it's design and cold alloy feel, size is just perfect and battery life with Endymion 3.4 is amazing - 2 days of normal use on one charge (one day if browsing/gaming a lot and I believe that using it as a regular phone could give You even 4 - 5 days on one charge).
See You around.
