[sarcasm]Hey guys should I buy this.. "yes", "definitely", "sure"... hmm ok I will thanks for the advice! [/sarcasm]
Sorry.. just don't see the point. This is a personal opinion and personal taste in what you like. Same with the "what ROM is the best/should I install this ROM threads. They don't really hold any water when your talking about personal opinions.

Bloody hell. Look at Google for pros and cons!
Or try using the search function in this forum.
Especially those threads are always pointless.
"Should I buy it or not." Decide for yourself!
"XDA was never about servicing or supporting noobs.. it was never about end users coming to ask people how to do normal tasks. XDA is not a personal help desk. XDA was made for DEVELOPERS to come and collaborate together. It's pretty sad that people have become so entitled to think XDA is a community where you can demand things, ask stupid questions, and expect people to solve your issues for you."

He's got the phone.. he likes it.. we all do too, end of discussion. Let's all just take a breather
I probably shouldn't have posted in here again.. I apologize for that. I didn't mean any harm I was just agreeing with his first statement. Second one too but it was a little irrelevant to your op.

Closed, seems I made a mistake assuming this could stay polite.

Bezel-less displays on phones, while sexy, are not practical. You'll be inadvertently touching the edges of it all the time, hell I already do that a lot on my GS2.
fake, the glass it to close to the side and would make it not practical and break easy. Cool design but i highly double it, easy to photoshop

I actually have that, got it as a free app of the day off Amazon and it's close but you don't get the clock on the screen shot with the elegant chronograph look. You do get a really simplified clock/weather widget.

Noobs trying to root their devices and install ICS

Hi I thought this might be helpful for other noobs such as myself. I would like to safely install Ice Cream Sandwich on my Skyrocket and possibly install a new rom through rooting the device. I have read the instructions on the various forums and I am very confused to say the least. Any help is appreciated!

There is an entire forum area dedicated to the N4, why not ask there instead...
I'd say Note 2, removable battery, bigger screen, SD CARD, removable back, S PEN.

Need to unroot but can't see or touch screen.

I broke my digitizer trying to replace the screen and I also ripped the ribbon for my buttons at the bottom. I know I backed it up bad. I think my home button still works, but if not how can I indoor it before I send it back?

You're clearly an idiotic kid. When I posted the solution for you I hadn't read your story, just offered help. After his comment I went back and read what happened and it fits sound like fraud. You broke out and now it sounds like you're sending it back saying the screen went out.
Having said that I like how you don't comment and thank the people offering help, but rather start insulting people. I how they catch you and charge you full retail!

Gee...... I don't know......I mean he **ONLY**
- Broke his digitizer while trying to replace the screen for what I can onle assume was a desire to change the color of his phone......
- Needs to unroot before he sends back to factory for warranty attempt
- Was brash and arrogant when people actually offered him some advice.....
Why would a mod close this thread???

Best Kernel?

I'm in the process of rooting my One then I plan on going with with the stock android edition. I'd like to know which kernel I should flash. There seems to have been a lot of development for the One and I'm finding it hard to catch up. I've heard there are some kernels which let you charge the phone a little faster and to me that would be a nice benefit to have. I've heard it could wear your battery down a little faster however I don't plan on having it long enough for that to be an issue. Any tips would be great!
Thanks,
Duck
The one you're referring to as charging your phone faster is the one I'm using (thoravukk). They are all pretty good just make sure you use the one that is made for the ROM you choose to flash.

Sorry but no, you don't have to be a moderator to follow the rules.
Why is that so hard for people to understand? The moderators are a minority compared to users and things would go much smoother if people would follow the rules to begin with.
