You know you can make a nanandroid backup of orthus just the way its set up right now then do your wipes install slim bean run it for a few days then if you like it keep it and if not restore your nanadroid backup its that's simple.... so give it a whirl and tell us how you like it

Hello bacon how's things going? Since this is off topic I can ask this lol ha ha...

How are you liking the S3 so far?

Is there good dev support so far?

I'm up for an upgrade but I'm waiting for the price of the S3 to drop a little since the economy stinks so bad especially my economy lol... I'm just so undecided. Don't know if I wanna wait for the next gen galaxy or a note 2. Uuggh just don't know....

Hi guys Im not really sure to ask this so here goes:

Telus is getting the galaxy note 2 on October 30th and I would really like to get one.

The problem is that im stuck on rogers with a 3 year plan since april. I was thinking of selling my phone.

Can i just put an ad on craigslist or do I have to cancel my current rogers plan before selling the phone.

Also is there a way to avoid paying cancellation fees?

Things are good, just been sick a bit recently. I love the s3, and the dev support is pretty nice. We can flash most of the i747 ROMs and they can flash most of the T999 Roms. I remember reading something in the 747 forums about a $75 refurb if you want that. Gameloft games are choppy on the s3 which is annoying

Good news and bad news:

Good: I got the S3. Traded in my SR and my mom traded in her Note. She got the S3 for only $25, while I got mine for $93. Since I was due for an upgrade anyway, a friend of mine at the AT&T store gave me free Beats Solos. I'm more of a Bose guy, but you don't complain when you get free $200 headphones along with one of the best phones on the market :D

Bad: Immediately after getting the phones, my mom and I return home to find that our guinea pig was crushed to death. I haven't cried so hard since I was little. It might seem like sort of a silly thing to get so worked up over, but I love all of my animals like they're children.

Anyways, I'm gonna keep it stock for the first month seeing as how that's my return period if things get messed up. (Now that I've got that root taste stock is sooooooo boring :/) should I familiarize myself with the S3 forum now or wait until I get into rooting?
[Off-topic] UZ7:
They have a huge community so its good to familiarize yourself and who makes what etc... you will also have a ton of people asking and answering questions so you may or may not see your questions answered. They have main devs doing work on major ROMs so you know you're getting direct support and flashing the phone is as easy as the skyrocket so if you've been doing that then it should be cake :)

I've had a all round bad day that just got worse. I got a call from my sister where my 17 year old son has been staying cause he has got in a lot of trouble. I've told that story before so most of you know the trouble he has been in. So I get a call at 10:30am and its my sister, she says in a panic I think JD, my son has overdosed. I can't wake him up what do I do? I said you call 911 now. Well the dumb brawd loads him up herself instead of calling 911 and takes him to the ER. Well me and my wife get there and he is convulsing, and foaming at the mouth. Omg it was a horrible sight to see your child that way. They finally get him to stop and then he starts screaming let me alone I wanna die. So they pump his stomach and did tests and give him some charcoal stuff to drink to absorb the rest of the meds. So now he is stable thank God but still in ICU. The amount of what he took should have killed him but God spared him. He took 15 kolonopins, 12 Fioracets, 5 neurotons, and smoked spice (synthetic marijuana) and no one knows where he got all this crap. When asked all he will say is I'm not ratting on no one. So his probation officer has gave him a choice to get the help offered to him (rehab and long term mental hospital) or he can go to jail for probation violation... I guess I'll see what his choice is tomorrow.

Sly I'm sorry about your Guinea pig. People and pets have a close bond and it hurts to lose them. Our pets become family and I'm sorry he died. "Time will heal wounded heart. Time will give you a fresh start. 24 hours a day, time just ticks away. And as time ticks away another shall die, that's the thing about time it does not lie. Time our own worst enemy, and time we cannot see. Our time more precious than gold, because the more time we waste the more we grow old." Written by me...

Thank you, I'm lucky to have her. It was a chance circumstance that she actually learned of this event and was able to flirt two tickets out of the box office girl (alas, she isn't interested in any shenanigans, she just knows how to work it) a day before they went on sale. Which is why our seats were so good.

Earlier gloating aside, this was one of the most magical performances I've ever witnessed. It opened with John Williams conducting a montage composition of various movie overtures, not all his own compositions. Like Psycho for a few measures right into the Wild Bunch, Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, etc.

Other highlights included three compositions from Harry Potter and of course the Star Wars episode IV main theme. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I knew that super familiar theme was coming from actual real life instruments right before my eyes and ears.

Unfortunately, because we had such close seats, the only musicians I could see were the orchestra, and the brass section was hidden behind the strings. So I still don't know for certain what horn leads, but during intermission, I did see the french horn blower de-labyrinthing the spit out of his instrument.

After the intermission, Williams played Stephen Spielberg onto the stage with the Jaws theme. Then they bantered, played some other stuff, talked about scores and their role in film and academic things like that. Then they closed with E.T. and after five minutes of standing ovation and flying roses and smiles, they encored with none other than the Raiders of the Lost Ark march (which apparently everyone else in attendance wanted to hear as much as I did because they had to repeat the first several measures to give time for the cheers to die down)

If you ever have the chance to see something like this, don't pass it up.

I'm sure you'd make more selling it anyway, but I was just curious.
[Off-topic] Brad.S.:
Agreed.

yes yes, I was curious as well. But good to know there might be a simpler alternative.

For example; I've been trying to sale an Atrix 2 for $200 on CL.. And all I get are people offering $50-$130..(and wanting my SSN of course) I'm sure AT&T wouldn't give much more.. But why hassle with other people (especially the scamers who make it terrible) if you could get a direct credit towards a new device, right? Idk, maybe my thinking is wrong its been a long day.

But.. You are right. It's like my Universities "text book buy back program".. I bought a book for $290 (cheapest price).. And they offer me $45 to buy it back at the end of the semester. Pathetic.
[Off-topic] sly-tendencies:
I have no doubt if I had unlocked it and sold it to one of my friends I could've gotten at least $180. Only thing was the issue of time versus how badly I wanted an S3.

Therein lays another reason why I would trade-up.. And that's one that gets me. I'm impatient.. And broke. ilovecollege

Anyways, how do you like the S3 so far? I assume your not intrigued by the Note 2 if you got the S3 so close to the release date.
[Off-topic] sly-tendencies:
Ha, S3 is pretty good. Better battery, crisp display and smooth operation. It feels a bit slow with all these animations, even stock ICS on the SR feels faster than this. I'm holding out until either after my one month warranty with AT&T or until the official JB comes out for this phone. After that, roms nonstop. It'll give me time to read up on different roms, since each carrier can't usually use the same rom as one another it's really easy to mess up if you don't know what you're doing.

Note 2? Lol, my mom had the original Note and I couldn't hold on to that to save my life. Besides, I heard it was pretty much just a really big S3. Not to mention that the original Note costs the same contract price as the S3, so I'd imagine the Note 2 would go for about $350, on top of the fact that it isn't even out yet. I loved my SR to death, but my contract was up anyway. It was either be stuck with the same phone for another 1.5 years, or upgrade now.

Little side story: you wouldn't believe how hard they tried to get my mom and I to buy iPhone 5s. I think if they could've just ripped the money out of my wallet and throw an iPhone at my head they would've.

I don't think so. If you don't use your upgrade your contract just runs out as it normally would and you pay a renewal fee. And $50 on AT&T by January? Fat chance. The SR is $99 with a contract.

Idk how you run the stock ROM on it.. I just guess I'm not one to run a stock based rom, or stock LOL. But if I had to choose a skin from an OEM it would be Samsung, sadly.

Everyone, it seems, is giggidy over the Note 2. I'm just excited to see a different device category take effect. Maybe i'll get it.. But $300 for another 2 years of my life does not sound fun. Although, bridging the gap between tablet & phone would be nice. The main feature im excited about is multiscreen... been following the code on it closely cause I'd like to see something for the skyrocket. I hate that I cant watch YouTube and google something... I installed SlimBean last night cause I got ahead of myself when I read "Dual pane Mode"..... I was sorely suprised that it was not what I expected (multiscreen) :silly: stupid me for not thinking.

Side story to go along with your side story: I went to buy my mom a cheap Pantech messaging Gophone to put on my account for her. While I was there, the sales associate told me how they were the last store in Colorado, and probably the US that hadn't sold their stock of iphone 5s.. Next thing I know I have one in my hand (to just check it out) and hes scanning a SIM card for me to buy the damn thing. I was like.. ehhhh.. :eek: dont mean to disappoint you but if its not free.. theres no way Im taking it. The manager got involved etc etc.. ended up being another sales associate that saved the day when he said that all I wanted to do was SEE it. haha.. your right, if they could rip the money outta you, they'd do it.

In case anyone was curious about the battery life. This is on stock without any charges throughout the day. Screen on time is 3.5 hours. I've been on wifi for about 2 hours, but I've kept the data off for a good amount of the day. When data was used it was for no more than 10 minutes at a time. Also worth noting that about 45 minutes of the total screen time was spent playing Pokemon on Gameboid emulator. If I play my cards right, I may be able to squeeze out 10 hours with 4 hours on screen.
