Dan in SA
Lurker
Like I said, howdy!
My name is Dan (obviously
) and I live in San Antonio, Texas, United States of America. I am a disabled veteran of the US Navy in which I was proud to serve, but a back injury forced me out of the service.
While in the Navy, I was taught just about every facet of IT except the coding part - my job was (and still is) to ensure the coders could do their jobs. The only programming I can do is some shell scripting in *nix to make some of my tasks easier.
I recently moved from a Nokia N95, my first ever smart phone, to an HTC Wildfire S. I was getting tired of the T-Mobile bloat and constant "low memory" messages because of it, so I set out to figure out how to root the phone. I stumbled across this forum in that search, and decided to register so I could learn a few things.
I'm about to go in for major back surgery and will have a 3 month recovery time that I'll need to keep myself busy during, some may as well figure out how to cook a ROM and/or theme it. So far, I've only tried Wildchild 3.3, but I don't really care for it so I'm going to throw CM9 on it tonight and try the HTC.Elegance theme over at XDA.
