    Root Google Now for ICS

    I rooted my phone yesterday using Hansoon2000's kit (WCX recovery + stock ICS). I found a thread at XDA for ARM7 devices, which I assume the Vivid is since the Raider is.

    WildChild

    This is my thoughts on WildChild. He's in his own little world and has his own forum where he can kick people out cause they don't "introduce" themselves and ask questions. I think he should keep his forum open to the public like everyone else. I'm sure when he got his first root and rom he got...
