Just because you consider yourself a regular, your of no more concern or priority than any other player on the server fyi. Stop placing yourself on a level above others.
After playing 6-7 hours or so of MW3 now I can say I am actually impressed. Everything feels massively smoother and haven't noticed any significant glitches as of yet. Hit detection is very nice compared to black ops, maybe the occasional lag issue, but every game has that. Some of the higher killstreaks aren't too overpowered as they require alot of skill to actually use. Graphics are standard but you never really need that in a game these days as long as they are normal then its fine. The spawn system on some maps is rather annoying at times but at absolutely NO scale in terms of bad that black ops was. The levelling up system is fast and fun with lots of varieties. Your gun now gains experience also unlocking new attachments constantly. They've altered the entire way killstreaks work and its actually extremely fun. The new killstreaks encourage alot of team work that does add to this game massively. Overall, I'd say this game is pretty solid multiplayer wise, and I haven't even touched on explaining the new game modes which are hillariously fun already. I haven't played the singleplayer but I'm sure it will not dissapoint.
What is it? Collection of 3D minigames I'm working on. Minigames are usually stolen from CSS maps and shit like that. Is this something you will keep working on? What do you think? Of course not. I'll probably abandon this project in a week or so. :') Minigame list
Oildrum Madness More to be added, hopefully. Requirements Decent videocard ( NVidia Shader Model 3.0 GPU or ATI/AMD Shader Model 4.0 graphics card (NVidia GEForce 6600, ATI Radeon 3000) ). You need OpenAL and MSVC++ redist. Both of these packages are included in the extra directory! (install them if you have troubles). Download Version 0.1.0.0 (28th August 2011) Post scores!
You made me feel old. OT: Just fucking stop spamming it everywhere, I would like to keep My Little Pony in my mind as that children's show my little cousin of 4 years old loves to watch all day and not as some annoying internet disease meme I've managed, and still manage to keep my personal interests away from those people who wouldn't want to be bothered by it too much. So I am sure you guys can also do that. If you make your avatar some Pony, I don't care, that's what avatars are for.. but just stop infesting this forum with it. Thanks.

Following on from the discussion in the shoutbox/irc about having a few rounds of Admins vs. Players on TF2, and the problem I could see with it is, are there enough admins who would be interested in it? Sound off below for support/maggot-ness ladies. Edit: This would be for any admin to participate in. EditEdit: Players, we need 12 of you.

Rooting, what's so good about it? Now I've been asked by quite a few people about rooting, so I thought this should get its own post since it can be slightly complex to explain. I normally just give some links to people who ask but I felt that it should be covered here. This post addresses the pros and cons of rooting. I do not advocate for the rooting or flashing of custom ROMs in any sense. Instead, I am providing this information for people to make somewhat educated decisions from information readily accessible in this community and others. PROS To begin, "rooting" gives you full access to system files and more control over your phone. For instance, you can add custom themes, change your recovery image, alter your bootloader, alter the "toolboxes" so the Linux system operates more efficiently, and add Linux Binaries. After you root you will be able to put special apps on your phone such as Super User which allows certain apps to access root privileges. Once you have Super User, you can install and use other apps to control the start ups of other apps, limit the running of certain memory draining apps to increase battery life and responsiveness, and install either wired tethering or wifi tethering. Also, finally, you can download an app that reboots your phone for you. Another great tool through rooting is you can backup your files and ROM onto your SD card. Also, through rooting you have the opportunity to dramatically change the look and feel of your phone. As mentioned above you can install customized themes onto your phone. Another great advantage is you can install custom made ROMs, kernels, and other files to enhance the way your phone works, looks, and feels. CONS Before doing any rooting, flashing of custom ROMs, radios, etc, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure that they are compatible with your phone. Otherwise you WILL end up with a brick. And before attempting flashing of any ROM, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS perform a backup with ROM Manager or any other method your prefer. As a quick and final note, NEVER PULL THE DAMN BATTERY WHEN FLASHING ANYTHING!! IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE! There are a few cons to rooting. Should you decide to do a "full root", meaning unlocking system so you can flash custom ROMs, your warranty will most likely be voided with both your cell carrier and phone manufacturer. This is perhaps the number one reason why you should not root. It is important to remember that almost everything is recoverable and fixable so long as you follow all directions listed by the developers of the ROM or root method. But, thanks to a significant increase in "one click root" methods, the issues incurred during root have dropped significantly. However, remember the admonitions given at the beginning of this section, make sure your phone and software version is supported before doing anything. Another con is that rooting your phone does not guarantee an enjoyable experience. Meaning, you do not need to root your phone to continue to be miserable or to love your phone even more. The bottom line is that you may root and realize you hate it. A big con is you cannot accept OTA (Over the Air) updates pushed to your phone from your cell carrier. If you accept the OTA update, you will lose root. In order to maintain root, you need to wait until the rooted OTA is available then flash it. However, it is possible to maintain root while flashing an OTA. It all depends on your device and cell provider. Still Undecided? Think it over. If you actually read this entire post and still have questions whether or not to do it -- ask. How To Root? Disclaimer: if you follow one of the root methods below, you do so under your own volition. You also understand that if the "one click root" method, or the long root method doesn't work, voids your warranty, ruins your phone, or in any way adversely effects you, it is your own damn fault and no one else's. If you do not agree to accept fault for any adverse effect from rooting, do not read further. Before we get to the links, let's go over some vocabulary. Root: Refers to the root directory on your phone. When you "root" your phone, you get a myriad of privileges through the operating system to screw around with the root directory. Rooting your phone does not give you a new operating system, and it does not change the actual look or feel of your phone. To change the look or feel of your phone, you will need to flash a custom ROM or apps that require root permissions. Rooting your phone will only result in the ability to do these things. Superuser: An app that is injected on your Android system (usually). The app controls which programs are allowed to use root privileges. Without the Superuser app, root apps are basically useless. Nandroid: A tool that allows you to make system backups ADB: Android Debug Bridge is a tool that lets you control your phone through the use of text commands Superuser: An app that is injected on your Android system (usually). The app controls which programs are allowed to use root privileges Clockworkmod or Amon: A custom recovery tool As always, XDA Developers is the best place to go when it comes to anything root. Below is a link to the relevant threads on XDA or to the unrevoked website. Warning: Rooting voids warranties on the phone from both the carrier and the manufacturer. If you don't know WTF you are doing and you want to-or have to-use the ADB method of rooting, just follow all of the directions to the letter. If you mess up and brick your phone, it doesn't matter how good of insurance you have with your cell provider, they won't fix it. Should you brick your phone do not freak out. If you brick, do this 1) post in the thread where you found the root method posted, or 2) on a "tech" forum such as XDA under their questions and answers section. Worst case scenario, google it. There are ways of unbricking, but it does take time and patience. I do not endorse any specific program or method will work. This information is readily available and this is just a portal to that information. Once again, your warranties will be voided, you may screw up your phone, and there may also be other adverse effects. If you do not want to risk it, stop now. tl;dr: READ AND FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS UNLESS YOU WANT AN EXPENSIVE PAPERWEIGHT! Note that I am going to link to programs that are "one click" because you have less of a chance of messing it up. However, there aren't one click methods yet available (that I can find, so if someone else finds them let me know and I'll update this) for certain devices. So you'll have to go old school with the ADB. It is important you know what version of Android you have and whether the root method will work.
SUPER ONE CLICK - READ THE WHOLE POST!! Almost all devices can be rooted with this method. z4root - an on phone root method HTC EVO, Hero, Wildfire, Aria, Desire, Droid Incredible HTC Legend (not a "one click") HTC Desire HD Droid Eris Samsung Captivate, Vibrant, GT-I9000, GT-I9000M Samsung EPIC 4G Samsung Spica (Portal, GT-I5700) Samsung Galaxy S/Captivate (not a "one click") by justinmk Samsung Galaxy (i-5800) Samsung Acclaim (not a "one click") Samsung Galaxy S2 Motorola Milestone Motorola Devour (not a "one click") Motorola Droid 2 (not a "one click") Motorola Droid 2 (one click) Motorola Droid X Motorola Backflip (not a "one click") Sony Xperia X10 Acer Liquid / Liquid E (not a "one click") Cliq XT by phaseclaims Desire Z/T-Mobile G2 (not a "one click") on XDA And there you have it. Make sure you read all of the information, follow all directions, and are willing to sacrifice with your precious warranty--and if you really screw up, your phone. Once you are through rooting, check out this this. If you see I am missing a phone or think a root guide or "one click" app should be added, send me a message or reply to this posting. Also, I am not an expert on this stuff and this thread is intended for non-Android experts to get a basic understanding. With that said, I am going to continually update this thread as root methods and devices trickle out. Message me or reply to this thread if you want a device or method added.
So. You've rooted, now what? Well you rooted, awesome. Now you can download some cool apps, delete bloatware, and flash custom ROMs. Apps So what apps should you get? Try one of these:
Titanium Backup - Delete apps (including bloatware, make sure you backup first), move apps, backup apps, freeze apps. Upgrading to Pro is worth it. ROM Manager - To easily flash ROMs Shoot Me - To take screen shots Root Explorer (UK£2.50) or EStrong's File/Root Explorer (free) - explores the root of your phone SetCPU ($1.99) - Underclock/overclocks your phone according to profiles that you can set. Overclock Widget - similar to SetCPU but lacks a number of features and won't work on some stock HTC kernels. Quick Boot - Allows you to reboot, boot into recovery, or the bootloader Cache Mate - clears cache from all apps Droid Wall - Firewall for Android, restricts internet access to apps if you don't have unlimited data plans. Ad Blocker - Blocks ads on mobile websites and in apps Wireless Tether - Creates a wireless hot spot LED Hack - Can disable the LED on the phone. There are tons of other apps too. But these are commonly the most recommended. Let me google some for you. Also, check out AppBrain and do some searching there if you haven't already. Custom ROMs If you want to flash to a custom ROM, go to XDA, register and locate your phone's forum. Make sure you read -everything- about how to flash a custom ROM. Follow all steps exactly. ROMs are a very personal thing because they change the way your phone looks and "feels". Of course, CM7 is one of the most well known ROMs. Search around XDA's development forums to find one that you think you may like. Below is a non-exhaustive phone list for XDA. If your phone isn't listed below and it appears on XDA, let me know and I'll add it to the list. And please, obey all rules of the XDA forums, including searching before posting, and posting in the correct section!
General HTC EVO HTC Droid Eris Nexus One HTC Desire HTC Droid Incredible Samsung Captivate Samsung Vibrant Samsung Epic 4G Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Moto Droid/Milestone Moto Droid 2 HTC Aria Moto Droid X or Droid X Forums HTC Buzz: Wildfire Root Tips/Tricks Here are some other tips/tricks from Reddit /r/Android Members From logical-conclusion
always do a nandroid backup before installing any rom or mod. shoot me - set it to 'shout' then blow into the mic. (nintendo anyone?) IME adblockers have slowed down phones. Some roms cause problems if you don't wipe data and cache first. From I-Invented-Warm-Snow
Titanium Backup has an option to "freeze" the app. It'll disable it completely without removing it. I use it on my Droid X to disable all of the crapware while still keeping the binaries since firmware updates check for them.
