Ive become quiet bored lately with my galaxy. All i seem to be doing is trying to make my background more trippier by editing it on photoshop and changing the color hues and adding symbols and stuff. I feel like ive reached the maximum potential of the phone and i cant find anything interesting to do with it anymore. Ive rooted it, made it a wifi hotspot, put games in it, made it trippy and stuff, got a glow in dark case or it.. I was thinking i wanted to connect a wirless keyboard or controller to it for gaming on games like grand theft auto or doom or something. What interesting things do you do with your android?

I have mine for phone calls, texting, and light Internet stuff. I also use it to watch videos and listen to songs.
If you don't find any of that interesting, I suppose the S3 is not really something you want.

Have you undervolted and overclocked? That's a fun project that will give you a week or so of tinkering. And then you can get in and mess with the scheduler and governor tweaks and build.prop tweaks too. Talk about amazing though I practically doubled my battery life and got better performance too it's badass. If you're running a Galaxy, I'd recommend using task650's AOKP ROM it's the best out there. ktoonsez makes a great kernel with TONS of tweakables for the undervolting/overclocking and sched/gov tweaks but I don't know if his kernel is on anything besides d2att (AT&T Galaxy S3)

It's a custom ROM. There are lots of custom ROMs out there: Paranoid Android, AOKP, Cyanogenmod, Slim Bean, Paranoid Kangdroid, etc. They're all a bit different but they're all Android just different flavors cooked up by different developers. Android is open source so any good developer out there can start modifying the base code and adding/subtracting shit as they see fit then they release it and that's their ROM. Your phone is running a custom Samsung ROM called Touchwiz. So you'd be replacing the stock Touchwiz with AOKP or Cyanogenmod. It will be very different and take some getting used to, but it will run faster and smoother, use a ton less battery, and be a lot closer to the "pure" Android OS. Think of it like different brands of cars they're all cars but they're a bit different in performance and looks. I highly prefer AOKP; it's the most popular ROM for the S3.
EDIT: And yes, the AOSP-based ROMs should run every app out there.

JellyBomb is by far the best Android ROM.

My answer will seem a little off topic cause its a game and y'all are talkin hacker shiet, but the simpsons tapped out game is amazingly addictive and really fun if your a fan of the show. It was made by EA games and written by the same writers of the actual show. Also, one of my tasks in the game atm is to get more friends... (forever alone... I know)
Oh, and its free.

Ah. I've got d2att so I never venture into the other providers' forums there. I'd check it out but I don't feel like fucking with the APN stuff just to get it to work on AT&T. What makes it better than other ROMs?

I have an old andriod phone, running 2.3 or 3.2 or some shit, and its been fucking up lately. The date and time is wrong, and I can't see my outgoing text even though people are getting them. It just shows the text people send me. Anyone have any idea what's wrong or how to fix it? I'm posting with it right now. Its a samsung transform ultra that's about a year old. Just thought i'd throw that out there. Just in case someone knew wtf was goin on off the top of there heads.
