Re: getting fed up (rant, but maybe someone can help?)

OP, i feel for ya, i really do.. when i bought my first mogul back in the day, i hated trying things, cuz if they went badly, that meant a hard reset and man did it suck..i lurked on PPCG for months and months... asked rare questions and never contributed much... i built that name up a little bit.. then started on this one im on now when i got my first TP1...and now, though I have my overly critical/flamming moments, i try to be helpful as often as i have time to sit down and get on the site...Ill be honest, all this tweaking/hacking/modding, it isnt for part-timers really(lets face it, youve been on here a year and have fewposts for that amount of time-your a part-timer lol).. it takes alot of time, reading/studying, trial/error, etc.. even more so for the dedicated chefs and developers....

i hate to say this to you OP, but the source of your problems has nothing to do with kind of Device your using.. the Platform/OS your running.. the Harware its running(or lacking)... Or your Carrier.. its kind of your own fault dont ya think??... your going around making all these changes, and you, yourself say you cant keep up with everything your doing or remember it all... well thats kind of an issue wouldnt you think?? your not educating yourself on What your really doing, your just doing random things it seems like.. "Knowledge is King, in the world of Iliteracy"... people have 2 choice on this site on who they can be.. 1) a contributor, no matter what level 2) or someone who asks a zillion and one questions because they dont understand really what their doing, nor how to fix it if it goes wrong

backing things up is Modding/Tweaking/Hacking 101 lesson 1. Backing up is to save you the time and hassle of constantly having to redo every single little thing.. And to ease the transition from ROM to ROM or even hard reset to hard reset... and remember, anything stored on your mem card doesnt get erased so those apps,tweaks,etc all stay there, you just have to re-add the .ink whereever you like(theres even an app for that)

***i feel like if you took a little time and did some research and studying to:
-back up app reg entries(app for that)
-back up reg entries for all your settings(app for that)
-or- learn to use Sashimi or UC(user customization), sd_config, etc
then youd see that all these things we do, ie flash and all the hard resets from trying new things- its not bad at all.... i can Hard reset, or flash a new rom, and be up and runnin in 20minutes... without a PC or something like MS Myphone... and i probably have over 70things to install on my device*** (yes other readers, i realize i should just be cooking with that amount of modding involved-dont have the time for it lol)

**i hope nothing negative was takin from this OP, just trying to be real here**
