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

k, a new week, and a calmer me

over the weekend got fed up again with finding all the little updates (the 2016 error, which I thought was included in tweaks, apparently wasn't, so a day of that and I was frustrated again lol) and upgraded to Stock 6.5. I suppose it's okay, but waaaaay too flashy for me. The moving clouds make me dizzy, and when I went back to the WM interface, I was still stuck with those really messy menus and not finding a way to organize them (I did try to make folders, but the screens still look completely disorganized to my eyes). I just want a list, in an order that *I* choose, what I use most often, or at the very least alphabetically. I can't even find the lock settings anywhere (trying to not use PocketShield), not in the main screen, not under tools, not under settings, what a PITA!

BTW, I think it was Dom who pointed out that I could delete programs just by deleting? THANK YOU, you have changed my life, sir! If you have any pointers on how to create a shortcut, it would be equally appreciated, then I could just leave PocketPlayer on the card and re-create the shortcut instead of reinstalling and copying everything back over.

So now I have about an hour or so and I thought I'd read up on how to flash a custom ROM (that barenaked rom deal sounds pretty nice at this point) and perhaps have some sort of backup plan in place. The first step is "unlocking" my phone? But where do I start? Can someone point me to a Step A, Step B, etc? All the stickies in this forum seem rather random, a list of "unlocked" radios doesn't help at all if you don't know what to do with them. Google search turned up some videos, but not too easy to follow...watching them now just to get an idea, but honestly, it isn't as easy as seems to be presented if you've never done it before. Hmmmm.

So, all that to ask...Where the heck do I start?
