anyway, i've been viewing this forum since about a week before droid's release. i've never felt the need to create an account because i can usually find the answers i need with about 5 minutes of searching. lately i've noticed things are exponentially more difficult. i have just a few suggestions that might make it easier on newbies like me.
if someone asks a question and you know the answer, please answer it instead of posting a link ... to a link ... to a link. it's very difficult to find anything on another thread, and here's why: threads get off topic so easily since we've achieved the holy grail ...root. rooting takes up so much space on threads that do not condone rooting. if i want to know which gallery app performs the best, i don't need 12 of you telling me that you rooted your droid and it's clocking 1.1ghz and posting a link to thread that has 7 pages of replies that tell me that they rooted their phones with beast then beauty and back to beast now.
please just help us out. i've noticed a few guys that are very helpful and humble, but also seem to be the go-to guys when it comes to the serious technical questions. why can't the rest of us be more like that? i can tell you that there are not a lot of people that are impressed by the "root" answer. not the people asking the question, and probably not the big guys that taught YOU how to do it. i think a lot of clutter would be resolved if we would stop shoving root down people's throat. no one likes it when christians do it (i'm a christian so don't burn a cross in my yard) and no one likes it when root fanatics do it either. i promise you it doesn't make you seem any better than the rest of us. i thought i would escape this problem after leaving winmo, but it followed me here. i don't remember the elitism being such a huge deal until the droid was rooted.
i guess you can say that rooting is the root of the problem.
before that, everyone was a "n00b" . we were the first with android 2.0 and everyone was on the same plane for a lil while.
i suffered through nearly a year of samsung omnia i910 and i've lived for 30 years without live wallpapers. i think we'll be ok with the bread and water of 2.0.1 until 2.1 finally comes out. ....i do realize that live wallpapers are not supposed to be included. let's make the world a better place and help out our fellow droid owners. everyone hold hands and sing.........
