[Off Topic Lounge] Collection of random thoughts

After talking to conantroutman for a bit, he has given me permission to start this off topic lounge. To me this will make us inspire users "bond" more lol, instead of being with everyone else that uses this site. Conantroutman will sticky the thread and include ground rules to it. Please lets respect the rules that are given so that the thread remains opened. Enjoy guys
Off Topic IS NOT:
* /b/
* License to be mean to stupid people
* License to be mean to smart people
* Exempt from any if the FORUM RULES
Off-Topic IS:
* Still part of the community
* Subject to the FORUM RULES, just as any other thread in XDA
* Fun
* A thread to post whatever you want so long as it doesn't make anyone cry
What's everyone's plan for the weekend?

1st!
Going to a concert at an abandoned warehouse in Detroit, it'll be fun, kind of sketchy because in like the worst part of town, but should be fun none the less. But I got the day off of work today so I'm flashing my new nightly and enjoying the freedom.

Well, I was going to add some ground rules into your OP but I think you've got it covered
Most people are well aware of the forum rules and if they arent then they will unstuck whether its in this thread or not.
Remember folks, stick to the rules. WE ARE WATCHING!
Okay then, back off topic please

Thanks for letting us do this Conantroutman, I think having this sticky as opposed to a whole Off-Topic subforum was a good idea.

I'm doing some casino boat ride Friday night with a couple of friends, hopefully everyone behaves themselves. You are lucky to have the day off today. The next time I'm seeing freedom like that is sat. I also need a new rom to flash.

You guys should really be thanking zelendel, its down to him that this thread got the go ahead.

What kind of rom are you looking for? AOSP or Sense? I've definitely been in love with CM7 Nightlies. I used the stable and the RC and they were alright, but the nightlies have been awesome for me.

Just want to say I am enjoying the change of regime. You all are really mod'ing it up, and it is an improvement. Thank you.

That's the thing I don't know what I want. Both aosp and sense have their pros and cons. This is what happens when we have great devs that spoil us with so many great roms. I'm a fat kid in a candy store . Gonna probably give stardroid a whirl later on.

Ok guys just wanted to pop in,and say that I hope you guys like your place to blow off steam.
As for the rules we all should know them so I wont bother reposting them. As some of you know me from the captivate I will follow suite here. Yes this is off topic but keep it nice and clean. If you wouldn't want your kids reading it then don't post it. Now back to you regular scheduled off topic thread.

i was on sense up until i started on gingerbeast. i ABSOLUTELY LOVE it. Battery life is great, it's fast, its smooth, its clean. No program incompatibilities or programs crashing. it's really nice. and the only tihng i really missed was a proper dialer with t9 and both dialer one and go contacts/dialer solve that problem. i'd highly recommend it if you want something clean, but the only caveat is that di11igaf, the guy that made the rom, left att recently he has promised us an update, but tehre's no telling when it will come out.
as for me, i'm trying to decide between ARHD 5 and stock rooted. arhd juts has a bunch of stuff and mods so i've found it to be slower than i like, but stock rooted is only froyo :\
anyways, back to off-topic - nothing big going on tihs weekend so i have time to relax with my family

I would suggest rumrunner. It is pretty much a stock gingerbread build tailored for the inspire.
This weekend for me will consist of plenty of job hunting. Damn unemployment.....

Inviting everyone in the Inspire forum to join the XDA fantasy football league! No dues and auto draft, just for fun.
I mean, the Super Bowl is already decided, my team The Romosexuals is guaranteed to win but you can still join for fun.

The worst part of Detroit? I think that qualifies as the worst place in America. This weekend I'm taking my wife to the Oregon Coast for our anniversary. Since summer finally arrived in the PNW, I figured it's time to get outside. I may even leave my Inspire turned off. Dun dun duuuunnnnn!
Stoked about the O/T thread! Thanks mods!

Try living in sultry BFE Arkansas lol! Not all bad, however. We aren't in a dry county any longer.

[UPDATED 4-8-12] Rom Video Reviews & Windows 8 In Depth!

I've noticed that a lot of the roms for the samsung galaxy s 4g and mytouch 4g are not reviewed on YouTube. I know a lot of people don't just like flashing roms before even knowing how it runs or how it looks. You can't always tell by a screenshot. So stop by my YouTube channel and request a rom review! I have a couple Mytouch 4g rom reviews but I would be up to doing reviews on the new roms available for the Galaxy s 4g! I'm not trying to promote myself in any way. I am simply trying to help out around here since I'm not the developer type! Stop by, subscribe, message if you want a review, and stay tuned! I have reviews on apps, roms, unboxings, and much more android goodness!

Thanks for the support so far guys! I will try to get more reviews going soon! I have a life to live too. [:

It'll be great if you get the first 5 roms at the top of the dev section reviewed.

I will get on top of that, I just need more samsung supporters. Right now I only have mytouch 4g supports. Lol, but I will try to get one up tonight.

That would be really helpful, especially with the two newest roms: unnamed and sweet child of mine. I'm curious about them and would really like to see what it's like before flashing.

I like this its original good job man
if you ain't first you're last

This is great!!!!!

lol bad cough sorry

Haha It'll be on the updated version then!

some of the roms are incomplete or in beta and alpha stages will you do reviews? For each update?

Yes I will look in to that. Don't worry. Soon you will have to not only rely on screenshots.

Check the post, added the 'sweet child of mine' video review

Good work! It looks like you were using a tripod for SCOM right? I was gonna recommend it after watching the MIUI review since the camera was moving around quite a bit.
Thanks for the videos.

Nope I just kept my hand a lot steadier. I will be getting a tripod soon hopefully. It will make these videos a lot easier! thanks btw.

Unnamed rom now reviewed. Check post for link. [:

This is definetly a great idea you should probably do a review on valhalla black since that's one if the best roms we have

Rogers ONE X with LTE Shipped Today ...

I already knew I'd get my Rogers ONE X before virtually everyone else in the country (Canada), as I was #2 on their list.
Finally, about an hour ago I got an email from Rogers confirming that the unit was shipped. I should have it tomorrow.
Here's a bit of proof:

jealous yes, who isn't? not my point. just irritated that you drown the forums with it. i just want you to be more informative, like, "hey guys that preordered, it's on it's way!" instead of "haha, mine is coming first!" but anyway, don't think i'm mad, i just have a mouth. congrats on your phone and please let us know your thoughts on the phone when you get it.

I guess a moment of joy has become meaningless ...

Like others have mentioned, nearly every single post you've made has been about you being #2 on their list. It got old real quick.
I'm really excited for you though! No lie. Can't wait to hear your impressions and your comparison to the T3 version. what color did you order?

Everyone is at that moment of being on eggshells and the first person who moved gets punched. Peter was the first to move...

mine is shipped too ... Can't wait for tomorrow!

The Android Arcade - Android gaming blog

hey folks,
I started a new blog dedicated to Android gaming news and reviews. I know what you're probably thinking, yet another gaming blog. Even so, I would love for you guys to just take a peak. It's called The Android Arcade. I know there have been folks trying to start up a blog but fail to make it through their first month but my team and I are seeing this to the end. I have staffed the site with great writers and we publish articles at least twice in a day (more as folks start discovering us).
We have also created a dedicated game section where you can quickly see which games are worth your time. Think of it as a curation of the noteworthy games. The list is scarce at the moment but we'll be adding a lot more soon. The game section could be found at:
http://games.theandroidarcade.com
So I hope you guys stop by and check us out. If you have any suggestions or games you'd like us to cover, please let u know. A phone/tablet app will be released in the next couple months
Cheers!

I've seen your posts on /r/Gaming every now and then. Keep it up, man! I check every one of your posts! My username on Reddit is Noontoker17.
Not very professional, I know.

I appreciate the support. We like the /r/androidgaming subreddit to be sure to check us out there too!

Yeah, that's what I meant. /r/AndroidGaming. Whoops.

Looks a lot more professional than Droid Gamers

Hey, I've got a few games up on the Play Store. Two of them are in my sig. Any chance of them getting coverage on your new blog?

Looks good - you might want to consider doing percentages and recommendations. Works really well the way they do it on theregister.co.uk and when the stick a "recommended" sticker you take note - especially if you're covering a large number of games.
Always good to have some more decent reviews!
