I'm gonna help you out with various things here...
no no guys - i know EXACTLY what you mean - i will pay for the BBS Le Mans wheels on the ferrari - but i will NOT pay for having the old ones removed because the factory installed 12 point lug nuts ;-)
First and foremost please, please,
PLEASE DO NOT PUT BBS WHEELS ON THAT FERRARI!!
Now that that is out of the way
I would like to do nothing more than to hand some dev that knows what he is doing a $500 bill and say build it like i want it. but it is already built like i want it. but verizon messed with it and i will not pay anything to have it unmessed. then i would rather buy another product from someone else (for less or not) and THEN pay a dev the money he deserves for putting on BBS Le Mans wheels ;-)
does that make more sense ?
or is this better understandable ?
I guess I can sorta kinda
maaaaaybe see what you are trying to say but the practicality and the reality of that type of thinking is just SO OFF BASE to me (and seemingly other people). While I guess my previous analogy about a custom home isn't quite accurate because, in that case, you can pay WHATEVER you want to have PRECISELY what you want. Even with the Ferrari, I'm sure you can get your Ferrari EXACTLY how you want it with EVERYTHING you could ever want...for a price.
But to think you could do this with THIS type of product is just so wacked-out and off base. Since the cell phone came out in a 10lb brief case up until the recent Google phones or iPhone the products are simply NOT CUSTOM MANUFACTURED. It is what it is!! And to think that it would be otherwise with current cell phones is just nuts. To some extent you can "customize" your Apple computer by upgrading components and drives and capabilities...but there is a LIMIT at the manufacturer level. If you want MORE, you gonna HAVE TO
PAY. Some things...actually
MOST THINGS in the technology space...like phones or TVs or DVD players or WHATEVER...are offered as WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. Custom TV from Sony built to YOUR exact specs?? No way. A DVR with 1000 HOURS of recording time shipped to you DIRECTLY from RCA...not on your life.
once i have it "the way that it was built before verizon messed it up" i will gladly pay a dev for any amount of "customization or pimping" that i want.....
See the problem with your (lack of) logic here is that, as I said before, with this type of technology, you do NOT GET TO CHOOSE a custom "un-messed-up" (in your opinion) version of Verizon's phone. And to even
THINK that you could have such a thing is crazy.
With your Ferrari lug nut example...if you're gonna be pissed at a 12-point lug nut set, then you'll have to be EQUALLY PISSED if you don't like the factory wheels and want those (God no!!!!) BBS wheels right?? If they install a normally aspirated 12 cylinder engine and YOU want a Koenig TURBO installed then FERRARI "screwed it up" right? Because it wasn't to YOUR specs?? If you wanted a DEVON 1200 watt stereo but Ferrari only put in a 800 watt Alpine (or whatever they use) then FERRARI "messed it up"...just like Verizon did with your phone.
And I almost missed your comment about paying $500 for a developer!!!! THAT IS MY POINT EXACTLY!!! If you don't like the Ferrari, you'll buy it and pay an extra $100K to get it the way you want right?? If you don't want to base trim home, you'll pay $200K to make it PRECISELY they way you want it right?? Then if you don't like the phone, you'll pay $500 to have someone fix the phone?? Then WHY is the Ferrari or the basic house "not screwed up" but ONLY VERIZON screwed up the phone??
By the way...I wish
I could...but I'm sure there are PLENTY of people who will get your phone EXACTLY the way you want for $500!!
But what people are trying to tell you is that if you don't like your Ferrari and don't like your house and don't like your phone, instead of paying $500 to a dev to fix it for you, stop complaining Mr. Big Time and pay the
400 CENTS for Root Explorer, grab a bunch of other FREE crap around here to help you out, maybe pick up some ABSOLUTELY FREE ROMs or, hell, pay
500 MORE CENTS for some customized themes or whatever to make your phone into the Ferrari you want!!
HOWEVER - no one has answered my original question:
is un-installing with platinum the same as deleting or renaming ?
UN-installing IS DELETING. FREEZING (available for that crazy, CRAZY cost of about
FIVE-HUNDRED, NINETY-EIGHT PENNIES!!) is like RENAMING the apps.
And I told you I'd help with EVERYTHING you were screwed up with..including the Titanium (not "Platinum") question too!
GOOD LUCK...and PLEASE save that $500 and spend perhaps
$20 to make the phone like that turbo Ferrari you want (WITHOUT the BBS rims!!)
