Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I'm thinking about rooting my Maxx. Just been doing some work on trying to flash the 6.0.1 soak test to try it out with rooting the phone.

The prior owner did me a solid by unlocking the bootloader, but there's this weird firmware version that leaves me in some no man's land. My best best is to just take the phone to the GF's and use her machine since mine is almost out of hard drive space. I'm just going to download and see if I can flash it before I leave. I've got TWRP installed so that's good...did a nandroid backup, of course. I'm not trying to go crazy since I'm headed back to the GF's later. If this isn't done in time, I'll finish it next week when I get back.

Made a boneheaded move...did a Nandroid backup but was so caught up in my lack of PC space I didn't copy the backup off the phone to an SD card first. I flashed some official firmware and everything was wiped, including the backup. Oh well. Maybe it's for the best...

Android doesn't lag anymore does it?

Not on flagship hardware...
I just put my SIM back in my 2013 Moto X on Friday morning, since my Moto X Pure Edition needs warranty repair. I've never done a FDR on the 2013 Moto X, even after the Lollipop update. I had used it from March 2015 till October 2015, and now I'm using it again with no FDR. It isn't lagging.

A gorgeous day here in NYC. Pity I'm still under the weather a little bit to fully enjoy it...

Was going to bring along the OEM G4 battery as a spare, but I left it at home to break in the knockoff one some more. I'm charging this thing daily, sadly. Oh well...

I was hoping the Hispanic icee vendor that I usually by these things from would be out today, but he wasn't. Always like the guy...very pleasant. He's a much older gentleman, so I try to support him whenever I have the itch for an icee.

We'll see if I see him out in the next few weeks...

I hit a snag earlier, so most likely I'll just root it and play with a few 6.0.1 ROMS next week, since there's not data to back up from...
