The Chrome extension may look better, but this one has so many more features. Good job OP.

tomburnes got a reaction from Giddyguy in General Guide To Custom ROMs and Rooting (w/ FAQ)
ivosaurus' locked bootloader explanation:
So why lock a bootloader?
A bootloader lets you change all the software on your phone. By locking it, you are prevented from doing so. Why do companies do this? Well, they try to never say directly, but you can guess the reasons:
They don't want customers accidentally uploading faulty software to their phone, bricking it, and coming crying back
They want to give as little surface as possible to hackers looking to meddle with the phone, for whatever security reasons
At the request of various third parties, such as carriers
They don't want custom software being put on that gives the device extra functionality or lifetime
Disclaimer: I never said these reasons were going to make sense in your, the customer's, mind.

Beats will never be included with CM. It is proprietary and closed source.
You can use the DSP manager to boost the bass, since that's all the beats audio does.

tomburnes reacted to Frix in Switching from Android to WP, a good idea?
If you want a change from android then just download a WP8 launcher and lockscreen. Because you can actually do that on Android. I do like a change sometimes and have made my android phone look like WP8 in the past but that's because I can and that's why I love android.

tomburnes got a reaction from Kuzma in Free Splinter Cell Blacklist for Nvidia graphics card buyers
So if I bought a Gigabyte GTX 760 OC on 7-3-2013 I can't get it?
I just contacted NewEgg and I do not get it. Early adopters get fucked I guess
