Things I need to think about.

So call me a liberal, but...

2012-02-10T11:56:00.003-10:00

in an ever so changing world, I believe we need liberals to move us forward. As long as we have people with good hearts up top at the peak of our government, being a liberal is not something that should be feared. We hear things like "he's not conservative enough", but if we think about it, everything has changed; not all the same rules apply. Example: President Abraham Lincoln was a liberal.

What gets me about Americans...

2012-02-03T18:09:00.001-10:00

is that a lot of them are so misinformed that it's changing the way society and government works today. First off, let's talk about this "trickle down effect" that republicans love so much. They state that giving money to the rich helps the economy because it creates more jobs throughout the population. A. What?! B. When has this system actually flourished? C. So you're saying that if we give

2012

2012-01-23T22:59:00.003-10:00

With December 21, 2012 around the corner, and the masses talking of an apocalyptic event, we've all been contemplating what to do about the upcoming month. Most people will probably just live their lives as normal, knowing that many predictions of the end of the world are completely and utterly wrong. I'm actually scared of the people who put most/all of their eggs into this theory. I hope these

New Year!

2012-01-01T17:52:00.000-10:00

So what's your resolution for the new year? Mines is to practice saving my money instead of blowing it on random stuff and to stop smoking. Honestly I think I'm going to have to stop drinking for a while as well, because when I drink, I get the urge to smoke. Like most people I know, my new years resolutions don't last very long. This time, however, my group of friends put money on the "no

As for myTouch 4G Slide Posts: Moved to new blog.

2012-01-01T13:37:00.001-10:00

Seeing as how this is more of a blog without a niche, I've decided to copy over anything phone related (more specifically, the myTouch 4G Slide) over to Rooted Doubleshot. I figured that those looking for myTouch 4G Slide stuff wouldn't be interested in my personal random rants on life. Please enjoy the new blog. I do apologize, as I should have done this earlier. At least the new blog won't

myTouch 4G Slide ROMs: Bulletproof 1.1

2011-12-14T19:00:00.001-10:00

Moved to Rooted Doubleshot! Please check the new blog for updates! Well, it's been a while since I've written a review on any ROMs out there for the myTouch 4G Slide, so here goes: Bulletproof 1.1 is a revamped ROM based off of romanbb's ROM, picked up by Blue6IX over at XDA Developers. View the ROM post here. If you're too lazy to jump over, take a look at the changelog. New in 1.1!

Bored, so I'm going to update my blogger.

2011-11-22T18:03:00.001-10:00

After a couple games of Battlefield 3, finishing all my homework and projects, I don't really have anything else to do until the end of the week (unless I decide to jump back on Battlefield). Nah, you know what? I think I'm going to give a shot at creating a ROM for my phone, seeing as how it can help the Doubleshot community right now. There is lack of development on XDA due to Undeadk9 leaving

Battlefield 3, a rant about jets.

2011-11-20T17:20:00.001-10:00

Since the game has come out, I've been playing when I get the time to. Now, when I usually play, I try to get in a jet and wreck some face, but a lot of times, r-tards get in and start doing all kinds of bullsht with my favorite vehicle (and possibly the only reason I favor BF3 over CoDMW3). So let the ranting begin! First off, if you're going to jump in a jet, DO YOUR DAMN JOB. I'm just saying,

myTouch 4G Slide ROMs: Undeadk9's RubiX CubeD ExpressO v1.1

2011-11-20T16:58:00.001-10:00

Moved to Rooted Doubleshot! Please check the new blog for updates! Despite having his account banned on XDA for past mistakes, this developer never ceases to amaze me. He found a new home at rootzwiki forums. Here is a changelog of his revamped Doubleshot ROM, renamed to RubiX CubeD ExpressO. What's New in Version Doubleshot Expresso 3.0 Deodexed Zipaligned Optimized Zipalign on boot

Drive angry.

2011-11-14T15:38:00.001-10:00

Driving is something the can be fun and thrilling, useful and efficient, but also life threatening and dangerous. I don't get why people drive angry with others in the car, only risking the accident that will change your life, or can end it. Whenever you do anything in anger, only bad can come from it. Driving angry because you want others around you to feel your pain doesn't prove anything to

myTouch 4G Slide (HTC Doubleshot) ROMs: Part 1, Undeadk9's Doubleshot ROM

2011-11-08T15:16:00.000-10:00

Well, might as well start off slow. This is the ROM I use daily. I can say that the ROM is incredibly stable, I decided to use the Virtuous Unity v.2 kernel to pair with this ROM, even though the developer and several users say it's a bad idea. I have it overclocked from 384 MHz to 1.782 GHz using the "ondemand" governor. I have yet to find any bugs or problems on it, with only one reboot while

I know I've been slacking on posting to my blog about...well anything, but I've been really busy lately. I'm preparing a review of all the roms currently out there for the myTouch 4G Slide, and will be posting it up within the next few days. Keep checking back!

Quitting cigarettes.

2011-10-25T16:32:00.001-10:00

Omfg, this is definitely one of the harder things to do. Its been a day since my last cigarette, and two weeks since I've bought cigarettes. Chewing gum is definitely helping. From what I've noticed, the only real way to quit is cold turkey. Friends tell me the first three days suck, but after that it gets easier and easier. Wish me luck! I'm going to try to keep busy so I don't think about

myTouch 4G Slide (HTC Doubleshot) Source Code released!

2011-10-19T14:21:00.001-10:00

HTC recently released the source code for the myTouch 4G Slide! Hopefully we can get some kernel devs to start messing with the phone to get our Doubleshot running faster than we could imagine =D. Find the source code for the myTouch 4G Slide here!

League of Legends, yep: addicted to gaming again

2011-10-12T15:00:00.002-10:00

Playing League of Legends is one of my favorite pastimes. Well, not League of Legends, but computer games in general. So far I've been messing around online with some of my friends just to have fun. I honestly think my favorite part of LoL is the smack talkers. You know those guys, the ones who have a need to talk their sht from behind a computer, because they are better at games than you are.

myTouch 4G Slide (HTC Doubleshot) Camera, Part III: Legos!

2011-10-10T12:22:00.003-10:00

I got Legos for my birthday, and after a couple hours with my girlfriend, we finally finished "Fallingwater" by Lego Architecture. It's actually pretty awesome =D. BTW I blame my shaky hands on the blurry pictures. Haha =D.

myTouch 4G Slide (HTC Doubleshot) Camera, Part II

2011-10-05T01:16:00.000-10:00

The two pictures I've included above was taken with my myTouch 4G Slide camera, with an aftermarket camera application. I've got to say, the effects from Camera 360 Ultimate (downloaded from the market) are pretty awesome. The effect I used in the first picture is called "Magic Color", where it accents a certain color in the picture, giving it more attention. I'll be sure to upload more

myTouch 4G Slide (HTC Doubleshot) source code and development.

2011-09-19T02:37:00.000-10:00

Since learning all the good things about the Android platform, I've come to realize that I can't really deal with the stock ROMs that come on the phones. Like they say, give a developer a bone, and he'll have a skeleton in a week. Give him a body, and he'll be able to improve it in a month. That's what I like about Android: it's (supposedly) open source, free to modify and configure the way you

Seriously, I would give you money, but for what, drugs?

2011-09-18T02:29:00.001-10:00

I really don't get what joy some people get with drugs. Honestly, when you're making sht up and scavenging for every penny you can so you can have a night of "fun", does it seem worth it? Speaking frankly though, when you're in the scenario, you have a hard time being able to see the big picture. What surprises me is that these drug addicts can learn so much about their drugs, yet they don't

Ear care.

2011-09-17T14:12:00.001-10:00

Wow, I really didn't know that Q-Tips can be that damaging to your ears. Holy crap, I had the whole cotton tip stuck in my ear and I thought it was just ear wax blocking my ear drum the whole time. It ended up creating an ear infection, which I now have in both ears. Only my left jaw hurts when I chew, but I'm so happy I'm not deaf. Seriously, don't use Q-Tips to clean the inside of your ear

myTouch 4G Slide Camera.

2011-09-14T20:41:00.003-10:00

The stock camera is by far, the best I've had from a phone...ever. Built in effects and a pretty large (for a phone) sensor, it beats out my now aging point and shoot camera. I mean honestly now, for a phone, it's pretty awesome. I know I won't be able to get shots out of my phone as I would with a DSLR, but I still like messing with the camera all together.

911: more than just a number.

2011-09-11T02:40:00.000-10:00

September 11th is a day that Americans will always remember. We send out our condolences to those lost in the terrorist attacks, and to those who lost their lives in or as a result of the following war. I understand that we are currently in Iraq, Kuwait, Pakistan, and Afghanistan to flush out these terrorist groups. What I would like to share online is that this is not a war of religion, though

myTouch 4g Slide (HTC Doubleshot) Accessories

2011-09-09T01:06:00.001-10:00

Well, since getting my phone I've been snooping around checking out what kinds of accessories I should try out for it. The myTouch 4G Slide is an excellent phone out of the box, and it's definitely something that I want to take care of. Battery: The stock battery runs at 1500mAh and seems to run out relatively quick, even with minimal use (though I used to leave 4G turned on). If your myTouch 4G

Everyone gets hurt.

Its another day in HI. The clouds are only nice on that side of the island. Oh well. You need rain in order to grow plants. You need plants in order to see flowers. I guess what I'm trying to say is this: without a storm, you're not going to see a rainbow. Without rain, you're not going to see plants. Without hurt in your life, you're not going to see growth.
