The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Good luck old man (wiggle)

Sho, do you know if there's a decent ROM for the Motorola Photon? I hate that the ICS update was cancelled, and it has been giving me crap for a while. I'd like to have it last till I can get another upgrade, any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks guys. I am sooo ready to get back to work. The bordom is exhausting. Going without a real paycheck sucks, a lot!

Is that the one on sprint with the slide out keyboard? I'll look into it. Are you rooted yet?

Edit: heres a good link to start. Links in the OP will get you to whatever you need to do

I always used cyanogenmod ROMs in the past. They are usually stripped down to have no bloatware...although aome features may be lost (gsm for overseas travel and stuff like that)

Been working since 5:30 this morning, again (after a 13.5 hour day yesterday). I'm completely exhausted, and tomorrow I'm getting up early again to help my mom do some plumbing at her house.

Oh, and OHFA calculates income really oddly. They basically came back and said per their calculations, I should make 10k more this year than I have made the past 3 years. :facepalm:

How long have you been at your current job? Thats some wild stuff
 
I have been here about 3 years now, did part time my last semester, and came on full time the day I graduated

Not rooted yet, still all original. It is from sprint, but it doesn't have a slide out keyboard. Overseas GSM would be nice but not required, going to the motherland in April. If you have time, I'd appreciate you helping me out as there's a bunch of steps I'm not familiar\comfortable with. I will compensate with food and jungle juice (Colombian booze).

Sounds good. Ill do some research this weekend some of the available ROMs and see what will work best. From there, i can get everything ready on my laptop, and we can meet up (or at the next meet) and flash it.

What issues are you having right now?

I love jungle juice!
 
It reboots itself randomly, sometimes once, sometimes 3 or 5 times. 1 time it wouldn't stop, had to do a hard reset. Most of the time is works fine, but sometimes the apps just drag and takes forever to do the simplest thing. Also, the camera app locks up every now and then. Sometimes I get decent battery life, sometimes it drains in a few hours.
 
hahaha!

Anyone know the timeframe for tax refunds to be deposited? Mine was approved 2/14 and nothing has hit my account yet.
