  1. And the letters? Did you repainted them?

     

    I don't think he painted the key caps, they look like the stock CM mechanical keyboard key caps.

     

     

    To keep the lettering, you could try dying the caps instead of painting them. I've seen people using RIT Dye with some success, but I don't know if something similar is available in Portugal.

    I use these, but I take off the silicon tips to improve awareness. If you're riding around you should be aware of your surroundings for your own and other's safety. Doing that does take a hit to sound quality, but I tend to listen to podcasts when on my bike so SQ isn't the highest of concerns, but my own person safety is. I also use my Koss Porta Pros when it's nice out. I'm pretty sure the M6 from MEElectronics comes with a controller for a bit more.

  3. Pretty sure it's made by Techflex or at least goes by that name. They have both mono-filament and multi-filament. Mono is less dense, meaning you can see the wires inside easier. While multi is more dense and is harder to see the wires inside. Then you close the ends off with heat shrink tubing.

    or you can search around yourself

  4. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU + Mobo, and then maybe my GPU because it will be the new bottleneck(and then also my PSU to accommodate all the changes). ANYWAY, here's what I have currently:

     

     

    The CPU, Mobo, PSU are coming up on around 4 years old and it's time to upgrade now that I have some expendable cash. I'm looking to upgrade the CPU + Mobo first and will then deal with the others later, but suggestions are welcome.

     

    I've been out of the loop a little so that's why I'm here.

     

    Budget: I want to keep the CPU + Mobo under $300, the closer I can get to $200 the better. Currently I'm looking to buy an unlocked i5 and a quality overclocking capable Mobo used.

     

    So my questions are:

     

    1. Is 3570k the right choice? Or should I look at the newer unlocked i5 or possible go back another generation to the 2500k? (It's gone 2500k, 3570k, 4670k right?) Or should I go with something like the 3820(might be out of budget)?

     

    2. Depending on which CPU I get, what corresponding Mobo should I get? To me, motherboard are one of the most confusing things...

     

     

    Computer is used for gaming and web browsing, and will be my desktop for college this fall. I'd like to be able to throw most anything at this machine and have it do decently well, that's why I'm thinking unlocked i5.

  5. If any of you paid attention to his post, you'll find that he actually wants 2 pairs. 

     

    Beyerdynamic custom one pros and AKg K612 would be my recommendation. If you get them both on sale, you might be able to get them for around $300. The COP are on Massdrop for $160 right now and I got K612 for $150 off of Ebay.

     

    If you paid any attention to his post, you'll find that he either wants a closed-back all around headphone(which the NAD visio HP50 fit, but aren't that portable) or an open pair for home and earphones on the go.

     

    1. One Headphone for in home and on the go. (Closed Back design and fairly portable)

    OR

    2. One Headphone for home use and earphones for on the go. (Would prefer a open back design for the in home use headphone)

  6. thank you for the ideas, but one of them I know I can't do is the root procedures, that's extremely lengthy to write down every known one, considering there are multiple ways to hack the device to gain root access. For the HTC One alone there are 4 methods. I couldn't continue to update it every year with a new slew of phones with a new way of hacking it every month. I just couldn't. But I will do everything else. And you welcome, I see we have a lot of noobs here who want to root their phones and I wanted to make a guide so they understand what they are doing.

     

    Ideally, something like this should be done in a wiki format where others can update as things change. And even if you can't list the procedures, pretty please link to a few. When trying to root my phone, having a point in the right direction really helped.

     

    Also what 4 methods are there for the HTC One? RumRunner, Firewater, ...?

     

    EDIT: After reading through your comment again, it seems like you're writing less of a guide on how to root and more of an introduction to rooting.

  7. As someone trying to takle rooting my new phone(but can't b/c of 4.4 on my Verizon HTC One), relate/make analogies of terminology and procedures to computers. Example: ROMs are like OS distros and unlocking the bootloader is like having access to the BIOS to change boot path(Least I'm pretty sure these are good analogies).

     

    Also, a section on "What you can do now that you've rooted your device" or "What you should do afer rooting your device." Going through the capabilities and things to do to get full use out of you device, what apps to get, and other optimizations you can do that your phone is more "free".

     

    At the top make sure to have a "Date last updated xx/xx/xx" and a list of known phone that have rooting  procedures with either links to external website with the how to or to posts/comments here on how; kind of like |jokers|'s HUGE IEM review of Head-Fi. His post would be great to look at for ideas. Of course the type of post is different, review verse guide, but he's managed his now huge post very well.

     

     

    EDIT: Also, thanks for doing this. Trying to go around on XDA isn't the easiest and cross referencing tutorials was like researching for a paper. Having a simplistic one stop shop of info would be very helpful.

  8. Come join the chat again today guys!

     

    Don't worry about the roles, they are currently all flippity floppity, I will be re-assigning more accurately once dog fighting starts
