I've been with the team since the beginning when it was only Bboy and DJ (but as a tbot only), so I've seen everyone come and go. They are all still around, and most still theme... They just don't like TBO standards, or they rather do other colors, or they are too lazy.

And then there's a few that can't because of their real life.. Lol

Thank you for venting...please let it out! By all means. There are a lot fools out there who don't and won't get what time it is until you let them know, and they need to hear it from you, the source. Unfortunately it may not make much of a difference in the behaviour of many of the whining, entitled, spoiled, demanding, selfish and lazy individuals.

None the less there is huge value in you putting it out there, getting it off your chest, letting the community know what's happening and giving a few of the fools who might grow up an opportunity to do so.

Thanks for all you do. Please know that there is immense appreciation from a lot of us who hang back and patiently use and enjoy the fruit of your hard work.

Respect!

Nice to come clean. Just remember if it ain't fun for these talented guys anymore, nobody wins.

Believe me, I love their work and did invert and theme a few basic apps for my personal use with tons of help from them. Even then, it ain't easy and I am in no rush to try another one. Even testing these apps is a chore sometimes, but I try to find time. I can't even imagine how many other things they might rather do after their real job.

T-BOT CHALLENGE, be the first to answer all these questions right and you can be a T-BOT. Only one gets the spot...who will it be? Hmm

Rules...

1. You cannot have been a T-BOT before.

2. You have to commit to testing apps all the time!

3. You must have hangouts installed. We communicate thru hangouts.

4. You must be rooted with custom recovery.

5. You must be able to test without any theme mods activated. Can't test correctly if a theme interferes.

6. You must be able to deal with crazy developers...Me...lol

Ok if you can do that and answer these five questions first...you're in. The answers are on XDA!

Question 1

What was the very first app djdarkknight96 themed on XDA and posted it?

Question 2

What was the very first custom Rom for the T-Mobile G1 and or who developed it?

Question 3

What was the name of the very first custom recovery for the T-Mobile G1?

Question 4

What was the name of the custom Rom b_boytm developed? "Might not be on xda check Rootzwiki if not"

Question 5

Which version of CM did Google make them pull Google apps thus giving us gapps?

This is a one day contest so get cracking! Lol

Post your answers here but be tactful. Saying it was blah blah blah for sure just gave away the answer. So be careful how you answer.

Good luck!

First of all, I'd like to convey my appreciation to the Black Out team for doing this. I've always been a fan of black/dark themes so this is naturally right up my alley! I've just discovered this project as I just got my hands on a Nexus 5 last week and am tweaking the hell out of it.

I've briefly read through the thread and it seems that the latest version of Black Gmail has some issues with Google Play services so I am using version 4.5 for the moment. However, my Black Chrome and Calendar seem to have issues with force closing as well. May I ask if these apps have known conflicts as well? Much thanks, and keep up the awesome work, really appreciate it!! :)
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Chrome is known like in the FAQ in the op but my calendar is working great. I haven't updated it yet either.

I'm just as guilty as anyone else of being lazy and not wanting to do stuff, but there's a lot of people that are quick to point out when an app updates or are all over the betas and and when you drop updates. I applied like 3 months before I got in and kind of had an inside track alrrady testing for some other great devs that have some affiliation with tbo. Maybe I'm just crass but if I was shown this opportunity I would be on google, xda, rootz, and any other android site all day trying to get the answers. So far I only see 2 have tried. I'm not saying it's for everyone, I didn't apply the 1st round because I wasn't too confident in my ability to actually help in any way. Now when I see something I'm at the stage where I can decompile an app and help find it... You learn a ton just by testing. Anyway rant over, I already got my golden ticket. Lol

After thebear's great and very true input, I feel the need to put my 2 cents in...

My gnex was my 2nd android, but the first I actually rooted and unlocked to flash on...I was so nervous I researched for like 6 months before I did it..then I was lucky enough to start following Team BAKED (Bboy helped them), and one of DJ's theme choosers was my first. Then sometime later they got together and started this awesome team! I got the chance to be a tbot, and well... now you can see where I am, one device later. THIS is my honest story, and it's also why I don't believe noobs have any reason to excuse themselves. EVERYONE can do it, if they have the dedication and a little bit of extra time to read...yes, read. :)

I've known prdog since the day I rooted my gs3 probably. I probably asked him how to change the wallpaper on it. Lol. I'm still a noob compared to all these guys but the more you get into it the more you learn and the easier it gets. There's no pressure being a tbot. You test apps in your every day use. Most apps I test I never have used but you do the best you can. Believe me I know not everyone has time and obviously life is waaaay bigger than android but for those that want to contribute instead of just being a user and have the opportunity to join a great team and help the android community this is the perfect chance.

It took me a while to get in as a T-Bot. I am no where near the skills of the team but am proud to say that with the help of DJ, Dafoxs, and especially Bear, I've been taking baby steps. Here are some screenies of my stuff for me. The knowledge I have learned is invaluable. I can't wait to become more comfortable and actually put out apps worthy of getting TBO's seal of approval and being released.

Many others here should jump at the chance to be a T-Bot. You can easily test 30 minutes to an hour on a lunch break and not even every single day.

I think this is more towards the people who are always asking to be a T-BOT. It's frustrating to see only two people try after getting many requests to be one. Exactly why I did it as a challenge. Being a T-BOT can be harder then that little test. So kinda proves they want the glory but don't wanna work for it. I think those two deserve to be one just for trying and being the only ones to try. I think that's fair!

Ok that was a trick question, first custom kernel was Jesus freak with his modded stock Rom with custom features...So it was a custom Rom but only the kernel was open sourced.

The one that I thought was gonna be a given was the Google CM fiasco...it was CM6 froyo. The reason I remember so much is because I was doing zip themes of DarkFroyo for 16 devices on their experimental builds and was worried I had Google apps included. So Steve replied to me not to worry. They will work out a plan and they did.

But they will both be T-Bot's for being so close.

Yeah I wasn't blaming anyone in particular. I did post life and other priorities take precedence. It was just shocking to me that only 2 people actually attempted. But I guess it's the same on the thread, how many have complained about gmail or chrome but would have found the answer if they read the op, or the post right above theirs)it's happened more than once), or did a search? No instead of taking somevtimevto try and figure stuff out they automatically think they should post or complain on the thread. Or waste these guys time with constant PMs. I would have made an attempt. And DJ that is a great idea, those 2 deserve it for at least lifting a finger and giving it a shot.

Coming from a tbot who was one before the term ever existed, I have been amazed at the level of nonchalance. TBO DJ, and B-Boy will always be remembered as the most influential android theming group ever assembled and there is a chance to play a small, but important part in the process. You can't say you're too busy. In the time I've been testing for DJ and TBO I've gotten two master's degrees and been a high school and elementary admin, yet I can find the time to give these guys an honest effort and put the apps through the paces. I don't want/need praise. Nope. But these themers here are special, and it has ever been a privilege to be associated with them. Good luck to whomever joins the crew. To the rest, don't say you didn't have a chance... TBOT 4 life.
