The trials and tribulations of rooting an LG Thrill

I had a friend that wanted to root their LG thrill and gave the task to me. Now rooting is not something I had ever tried or even looked into. So the research began I spent about 3 hours just looking into information. Found multiple ways to do it so I started trying them. They weren't that detailed so I tried them because they said to wait 15 mins and if it didn't to try again. So here is the list of the things that I tried.

• super one click: used 3 different ways every time I tried to run this program it would go to not responding after only a few mins.
• ginger break: tried  4 times This requires no pc to do you download the file and run it on your device. It said to wait also 15mins and it should reboot I waited 20 each time and then hard reset still no root. I tried this one about 3-5 times.
• tried batch file same issue: This was another program I got from online I downloaded the file and ran the software it kept getting stuck. After 3 tries I gave up.
• unliversal androot: is another with no pc needed I tried multiple times without count and got this weird message.

 So after 1 failed day of trying to root this device I reached out to those that I have had do mine in the past and asked for advice. They got back to me a few hours later. So in the end the things I was missing was manually downloading the drivers from lg's website (which all the instructions just said to plug the phone in and let it install the drivers.) and to make sure that I unplugged the Samsung galaxy s 2 that I was tethering for the internet connection. Did that and boom flew through and was rooted in less than 20 mins. 

I hope you enjoyed this story of me pulling my hair out have fun see you next time.

Acer iconia a501 4G android tablet review

I have never been a fan of android in the past and when I was told I was getting this tablet from school I thought  I would hate it. I had originally planned on selling it and putting the money I got from it with what I had saved before to buy a refurbished iPad 2 16gb. I decided that since a new ipad was sure to come soon I decided to wait and just play with this one until it came out. The day i picked up the acer I discovered the acer had similar programs that I wanted to use the iPad with free. So I edited some wedding photos with the tablet from a wedding I was the photographer at. I have totally fallen for this tablet and plan on keeping it till it dies. Once it dies then I will get an iPad. I write this review from the tablet and I do have to say there are things that it can do that an Ipad cant. I have a keyboard built into the case for the tablet that plugs in via usb and would not be compatible with an iPad. When I first got it, it was slightly buggy but once I sat down to look at it I found the update that needed to be done to fix the issues with the browser crashing. I can say that android has come a long way from where it started and I tip my facinator to google for moving forward in this time of technology and not backwards as some companies have done recently. In the past I have never liked acer BUT this tablet gives me hope that they are on the verge of becoming the best they can be, as corny as that sounds. I don't know why but I have this sneaking feeling that in the next 3 years acer is going to try to enter the smart phone business.
What I would change: The device is quite heavy and I always feel that I might drop it. I try to always use it on a table top.
Have you gotten an acer iconia tablet? What do you think of it so far?

Android application fail

So I put my heart last night into creating a crochet application for pictures of crazy crochet. I got the app all set up and tested and went to get it put into the android market to see that now thy charge to submit applications. If it was an app I was going to get paid for I could see paying for it but a free app? I don't think so. So I'm back to the drawling board looking at doing it for the open app market where it's free to publish. I tried to use the one I already set up but duh it doesn't work for web app because it's a different format. So tonight im looking at ways of how I create a html5 application. Wish me luck I've never tried programming before.

Making money with an Iphone application.

Making money with an iPhone application.

After starting my quest for making money online and decided to look into applications I could download to make money with. At this time I have one in particular that is my favorite its called we reward. I slack on it but if I really sat and took the time to use the application I could potentially earn quite a bit. On some of the sites I use on a pc I am posting stuff constantly and reading others posts but on WeReward I did very little and in a few days (about 3) I earned what I earn on Gather in a month. If you have an iPhone I would recommend checking out this app HERE. OH!!! And I forgot to mention there is also a app for Android and Blackberry.
