Told ya dont get me wrong it sucks bricking but I take my precautions very seriously. I spend alot of money on my phones I dont leave room for error especially some of the obviously bad ones these guys make. Just like my car if I plan on doing something I make sure I know what im doing before and I know any complications that may arise and how to fix them im meticulous im careful im a research nut

Yeah I get you. Some of these guys make the most careless mistakes ever. Like flashing a rom clearly made for another phone. I know not to do that, and I'm a guy that doesn't even know how to root.

[Off-topic] droidbabyxda:
hi, i am still running stock and have been using Nova LAuncher but i have been having too many FCs and hanging issues. My swype keyboard will sometimes freeze and just not work. Been thinking about trying different ROMs but have a quick question...

If I flash a new ROM will it be in the external SD or is it possible to keep all ROM files in the internal storage? I had this issue with my HTC inspire where my sd card failed and my phone went on bootloop because the ROM files where all in the external sd. and when the sd failed i was stuck with a bootloop. took me hours to fix it and lost all data.

just wanted to ask here instead of q&a as people tend to be too snarky. :)
[Off-topic] whosgotlag:
First Skyrocket (and first Android phone) took about 4 months before I rooted it, although that was around the time we had barely working ICS so there wasn't much of a point to root for GB roms or faulty ICS. Also nervous though.

Got my refurb and rooted/flashed within 20 min of getting it
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
That must be a HTC thing cause I've never had any important system files install on the external SD they always went to the phones internal storage where they should. I am assuming you are talking about the system files right? The actual rom itself can be downloaded and put on the external SD then when flashed in cwm recovery they will be installed on the phones memory....

Uccw pisses me off to no end. Seriously how does this thing work?
[Off-topic] :
Ok i remember that a few people in the old off topic thread used it to get some stuff off their chest so i figure forget it i'll go ahead and give it a go.

At 13 i was kicked out of my house by my mom. This was pushed on and off alot by the school getting in the middle so i'd be in then out just whenever she got drunk enough. This went on for several years. me holding in tons of emotional rage was forced into a help group where i was taken out of class to talk to counselors and other people in situations like mine. around 16 i was completely out of there living on the streets or with friends when i could I've slept under bridges in the middle of winter I've lived in conditions most would never imagine. When i graduated i moved into a dumpy little apt a pay by the week place i didn't have my own bathroom. At 19 i signed up to join the national guard thinking that will help get me somewhere in life. A month or two before I ship to basic my mom calls me asking me to move in for a bit to help her pay her rent and make ends meet for a bit. Naturally being me i said ok i'll give it a shot so in that time things were ok but tense. Just a couple weeks before leaving my mom decides to try and commit suicide by trying to jump out of the passenger side of a moving car with my little brother on the inside. Luckily her boyfriend held her in and got her home, at which point I'm the one who had to call 911 i had to call my brothers dad to have him taken i had to keep things under control. Now i'm going through the disability process with the army for damage to my spine making it so that when i walk it hurts so bad at times i want to cry stairs are terrible holding my son for extended periods does not happen.

the only solace i have in life is that i have my son and wife who care about me very much and i love with all my heart.

yes this is me venting feel free to place your cool story bro's here and make sure to nail me with some witty comebacks to make me feel like a worthless piece of s***.
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Actually waffle I would like to commend you. Not many kids in that situation would have even graduated much less went to the military to serve their country. Most would have gave up and turned to crime and still be in prison a burden to taxpayers. I just wanna say I think you are someone your son could look at be proud to have as a dad. Even though your disabled and can't work there is still one thing you can do bro and that's be the damn dad you can be to your son cause their only young once. And it sounds to me that if you can overcome a childhood like that you are a helluva dad. You are gonna mistakes we all do but from your past you know what mistakes not to make and that's a plus... keep your head up bro.....

As for me I'm in a tough spot. I feel like a failure as a dad. In June I had left for a quick trip to town while my wife was cooking. I got home to find out from my 14 year old daughter that my 16 year old son which is her brother had lured her out back in the woods and raped her. Long story short he denies it even though there is physical evidence. And a few weeks back he had got to feeling guilty and called from where Dhs had placed him crying to me saying how sorry he was and admitted to me he screwed up. Well he still denies it to the police and tomorrow we have to go to trial. Tomorrow I have to take the witness stand and testify against my son and tell the judge he admitted it on the phone. Tomorrow I have to give testimony that gonna put my now 17 year old son in prison. They have indicated him and are trying him as an adult. He had two Pryor drug charges and was already on probation when this happened. I feel as if I'm being made choose one child over another. I have to tell the truth and I must stand for what is right even though it hurts and feels so wrong. This is why I say I have failed as a dad. So waffle be the best dad you can bro....

I want you to know that I read this PURELY because you took the time to use some god damn punctuation. That's how you know **** is real.

That being said, every single person here and every single person you see has their own entirely different story, some worse than others and some much better, but you'll never be able to understand another person's struggles/achievements. So I won't comment on your story, except to say that what happened happened, and you're still living the one shot you get in life. Other's have it much worse, other's have it much better and there's nothing you can do about it except make what you can out of what you have. You can make a lot.

I might say that this is probably not the best place to discuss such serious things. Venting is fine. But this is... a different tone

[Off-topic] skrambled:
People have posted far more personal things than this in the Off Topic thread (and the previous Off Topic thread that got locked down). For example, Gary's told us some pretty intense stuff going on in his life that many of us would choose to keep to ourselves. People should share whatever they're comfortable with. (EDIT: Just read back a page, saw that Gary referred to his situation again -- I was referring to when it was first mentioned many months ago.)

And you're right in some ways, life is what you make of it. But would a little empathy kill you? :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] whosgotlag:
I don't see how me empathizing would help in anyway. I don't know if Illnevertell gives a **** what I have to say.

As for what Gary said. His son raped. That's all that needs to be said, I can understand it must be tough to go through as a father but I have absolutely no condolences about how it'll help his son, etc. Rape isn't a crime that just happens, it means his son is ****ed up and I couldn't care less about what happens to him. Is that a better thing to say? No. Not in what is primarily a phone forum.

Basically; because of the setting I'm not saying all I would normally have to say on such a subject. Personal anecdotes are fine, and if people want to share intense stories that's okay with me, but they can't expect full coherent responses. I'd have more to say to Gary and Illnevertell, but again they probably both just wanted to get **** off their chest instead of actually listening to people's responses.

@waffle, just because you can't do normal physical play with your kids does not mean you are going to be viewed as a bad dad. kids are very intuitive, they can understand greater things than we credit them for. just keep your head up... and keep your family close to your heart. The past is gone, it haunts you, but it is gone. It holds no more power unless you give them life by revisiting it over and over again. I know it is hard but one day at a time, one breath at a time.

As far my son yes I want him to get the help he needs whatever that may be. I just feel like **** that my testimony might put him in prison instead of getting the help he needs. I'm a very protective dad especially when it comes to my girls. I've told them they can't even think about dating until their 35 or I'm dead and gone first.

Well, after reading the past few pages, my problems seem quite asinine, but I'm going to post anyway because I'm losing my faith in humanity, and you guys always seem to make me laugh (sans the last few pages that is).

So the moral of today's drive home from work... Don't look over if you're sitting at a red light in Indiana and you hear someone screaming at the top of their lungs at a girl in the driver's seat, while punching and kicking the dashboard of a car in the passenger seat. You WILL have a crazy ***hole throw a glass bottle at your car, and the result may very well look a whole lot like this.

Unfortunately, I was not able to get their license plate, or even follow them until the cops arrived, due to the stupid setup of the ramps off of 65 in Indiana.

Yeah, I am a bit worried about her well-being. I called the police when I got home and gave a description of the guy and the car so that, God forbid anything happen to her, they at least have a place to start.

I didn't think that politely telling him that he should think about respecting the lady a bit more would warrant the damage to my car, but I guess I deserved it for interrupting his lady beating. Some people just have no respect or consideration for others anymore.

He was most likely on drugs or bath salts by the look in his eyes, so I should be glad that I made out with a softball sized dent and didn't get my face chewed off like that guy in Miami.
