There's a member name i had came across that i can't remember who's been here on a default like date.

It was stated to me years ago that when the site was revamped, there were a handful of members from the original site (when it looked like the one on the OP) that had a default like date and they couldn't date it past a certain date from the original one.

I hope i explained it okay via text... LOL! :)

Wow, it's amazing to see how this all started. In 2003 I was using a HTC Tanager running Windows CE. I thought it was pretty impressive at the time. It had a camera and everything!

I remember (and still have) my first portable cell phone I had bought in mid-late 2003 and It was the first camera phone that was released in the US too.

It's the "Sanyo SCP-8100"... :eek:

It still works great (besides the Cellular Service of course) and I've got the original Phone, Battery, Charging Cord and the User Manual as well. I think that I had seen the box for it as well somewhere.

I used it for a very long time before purchasing my next, oldie but goodie, phone.

That one was called the Sanyo Juno SCP-2100 that i also still have... LMAO!!!

:unsure: This image is 2003?

I think It looks slightly dated than that..coz I remember back in 2002 on

the T-Mobile section of the floor I was working in they had shown us a Tablet PC proto

which was almost ditto as the ones that are seen today (like ipads etc.)...sleek & thinish bezel.

"Its the future" they were saying i remember. Also, around May 2003 I happened to meet a

client from Cali (he was a multi-millionaire private jet solo investor hollywoody romeo dude :D)

..like in his cabin he was showing us a then State-Of-The-Art laptop he had picked up from

somewhere in Singapore or Japan I think and it was second or refurb he was saying. It was so

sleek & thin metallic silver grey maybe Toshiba or HP i think something like that with tiny LEDs

all around that changed colors every moment, it was like fanless so thin & he was accessing his

server back in U.S. (which was like the other side of the globe) through that laptop & the desktop

i remember looked something like an iOS like he was clicking on the top middle of the screen

and a tiny trapezoidal drop down menu used to appear and stuff like that..that laptop was almost

same like the high-end ones available today. Even though we used to work close to 3 nights at a

stretch sometimes (for like $100/month LOL) if the project demaded total uptime but even with

sleepy eyes I couldn't have missed that. I don't know technology probably hasn't changed much

since then but now seems all about AI & Big Data and stuff related to software harvest than

hardware i guess but THOSE WERE THE TIMES! :'( when technology was so attractive & promising.

Now people I guess realize the fact that technology doesn't mean much rather LEVERAGE, POWER

POPULARITY things like that can control the available Technology and they realize lifes limitations.

I jointed this after several years on M3 forums (ModMyMoto), and those were some really good times. Early (eternally garbage) HTCs, and then when Android started becoming much more of a thing is what googled me this way and then ironically I kinda stopped bothering with custom roms when both manufacturers started ****-blocking US models from easy roots, as well as when only flagships without the features I'd want were getting all of the support.
[Off-topic] OldNoobOne:
Cmon, Only Big Wigs & billionares get that kind of support. You have to know the CEO of Mykrosoft, Gugle & Appel personnally plus have your own team of Developers to unlock DESIRED features on Flagship Devices & Latest OSes. The wife of a Petrochem Billionaire in our country uses Custom Apps that detect hackers & other stuffs to keep terrorists etc. at bay & such big people are partners/investors in big companies like Mykrosoft, gugle, Appel, various overseas governments too. They probably are given unique customized operating systems by the OEMs & Gugle etc. on their flagships. If you called up Gugle CEO &Shamshung to offer $20 mil for a Custom Andoid & Flagship phone just exclusively made for you, woulld they deny it? NO WAY! :p

[Fire Themes and Apps] DragonFire1024:
On my quest for wallpapers, I discovered I'd be on a very long quest. Android has stock wallpapers they put out with each OS version. Some phone manufacturers and providers also have their own, and often replace Android's with their own. Regardless, I discovered this after I gathered all of Android's stock wallpapers along with some from unknown devices. I also gathered the stock wallpapers from my XT907. If I were to gather *ALL* stock wallpapers, there are likely to be a couple thousand of them.

My point is, I am making all of those stock Android wallpapers, 230 of them to be exact (some repeat because some were rolled over), available to you, here, today, in one .zip file. All wallpapers are untouched, and remain in their ultra HD formats which means they will fit (with some cropping and tweaking depending on your method/app to set them. This is a lot harder than it sounds in some cases) on ANY mobile device, and even many HD desktop monitors, laptops and televisions. I won't link any croppers, because I use 3 myself, and even then I am still not really satisfied with their cropping. In any case, I posted below the two wallpapers I am currently using. Scroll past them for a Google Drive link to the wallpapers.

This one is on my Fire HD 7:

This one is on my HD 8:

I hope you enjoy these! Most of these are truly incredible! It's a large file so here is a Google Drive link. If there are any issues, please let me know :D
