Galaxy S3 Watering Hole

Thanks for rubbing that in for us non-rooters.

So long as your not flashing kernals or a rom addict like me... rooting is very low risk. Coming from a Gnex I couldn't own this phone without root. Given VZW decision to lock the bootloader I think I will be moving back to ATT when my contract is up.

However, it's a personal choice to root or not root... but if you ever decide to take the plunge I am happy to walk you through it.

kymberlin,

We are all sitting here at the S3 Watering Hole dinner table waiting on dinner ? Hello ??

Whew... What a day! 52 mile ride, yard work, cleaned the house, made dinner ( grilled chicken sandwiches~ not that glorious I know) .... More yard work, Aleve, and now finally, PHANDROID !

Mr. Lin works away 4 days, then home 4 days, so I try (I know OCD) to make everything perfect when he arrives in the morning.

Now. .... more research on the benefits of rooting, a nice cool beverage of choice and mentally prepare for tomorrow ( long 2 hour workout I do every 10 days or so) .

I will add one last time that rooting is easy enough for this noob to have done it successfully

I will take you up on that in the very near future.... I am still in research mode. The people that do it, would not have it any other way. I am enjoying the learning process right now...

I'm super glad to have found such knowledgeable folks here on phandroid !!!

Geeze! I am jealous ! That is an amazing view !

Hey, I ran 6 miles on the treadmill today. Didn't want to look like the lazy one of the group.

Are you ever going to root Treb ?

 

[Trent Reznor]

Alright.. I'm going to be watching from a far for the rest of the night. I got the future Mrs's hooked on Son's of Anarchy... so i need to hook my laptop up to the TV so she can catch up before the new season starts

 

[treb1797]

No. My biggest complaint was always the bloatware & since ICS allows you to disable I'm a happy camper.

I really want Jelly Bean.... I wish our carriers would not make us wait for so long to get what is already available... (Wallet.... etc)
I know when JB hits, It will be a year until we get it ! That alone is reason enough to play ......

My Hubby is addicted to it! I have watched a few times, but am unimpressed . Good luck

What about Jelly Bean tickles your fancy ?

The fact I don't have it, makes me want it !

I used to be the same way waiting for my DROID Charge to get Gingerbread & then it wasn't all that. Remember, Jelly Bean isn't a "huge" update from ICS, like ICS was from Gingerbread.

So they shouldn't wait so long to give it to us then ....
Kinda like wait until your married and..... uh maybe that isn't a great example lol.

Nice !!! :congrats: . My phone doesn't give me that much pleasure.

That's there just about sums me up lol.

I love my tech, if I got a use for it.

Rooting is surprisingly easy, as long as you follow a well written guide and you get the right drivers & files, simples.

If I can teach a 76 year old to use android, I'm sure it's easy enough for you to root

kymberlin, I believe the jury has spoken. Root Root Root Root !!!!

This week for sure!

I'm all excited now !

 

[kymberlin]

dinner....

I just looked in the fridge and I have a lb of roasted Hatch peppers.... I'm tempted to make a chicken/ chili enchilada, but I still have a beautiful bunch of asparagus as well.... So I'm thinking to leftover grilled chicken ,add the asapagus to a creamy penne and make a hatch cornbread to soak up the sauce...

Or I can make an oscar-ish sauce for the grilled chicken , asparagus with hatch cornbread.

Omg... I hate making these Sunday decisions !
