they will flame your ass faster then a DU troll on FR

Or someone saying their final goodbye on FR. LOL! Thanks for the info. I have an Android and only use it for some basic functions. I would love to see what it is capable of.

“Did you see the big revolt when HTC announced they were going to lock their new Android phones...HTC backed down and now will not lock... the great thing about Android is you can build custom ROM’s for your phone...
Apple is like it or lump it”

Best move HTC could ever make. Motorola was dumb and started to lock down bootloaders and Samsung was considering it. I think they all know better now. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

Thank you for the site. I have heard about flashing the phone but don’t have the gumption to do it yet.

I was a little nervous the first time I flashed my first custom ROM. As I said before, make sure you get smart on it first. People on that site are more than willing to help, just do a little homework first. Always read through some of the other threads and the “stickies”. Most phone sections will explain exactly what you need to download and exactly how to perform the flashing process.
