And so it begins... He's a mean one, that Mr. Grinch.

/first world (in-game) problems

I'd argue all of those can be fixed by user (well-informed) decisions.

What? That's not true. They did an update not even a month or so ago. You can read about and download it here.

For people like us? Yep, definitely a pipe dream.

That's a manufacturing issue if I remember correctly. Well, depending on when you got your Nexus 7. The storage type used would get painfully slow and unusable depending on how full it was.

But then you'd be complaining that they don't update your phone. It's lose lose from a carrier and OEMs perspective. Don't provide updates? People bitch. Provide updates but for "older" devices? People bitch.

As much as I agree with what you say, I have to also say that what you want would never work. The number of us who want to unlock our bootloaders and have root are miniscule compared to the overall number of Android users who could care not a whit about either of those things.

Others have said it already, but I'll chime in the same.

Using Themer? Wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info.

Don't suppose you could point me to the ones you have? A link would be great, but I'll settle for an exact model name/type if you know it.

Have you used those yourself or are you just recommending them because of the price point? I'm interested in getting both in-ear headphones and some decent Bluetooth ones, would definitely like a little more info on that pair. (Of course I'll scour the reviews and see what I can gleam from them.)

I had been looking at that Klipsch pair for the past week, think I had asked you awhile back Alan about some in-ear recommendations. Ended up finding that one on my own, nice to see it made the list. Guess that'll be my gift to myself for the holidays. Has everything I've been looking for. (Minus Bluetooth, but I can…

Themer is great, but it's also limited in themes (although more are added constantly) and you can't tweak anything that's in there. It comes preset. Nova Launcher allows for infinite possibilities and in point of fact, the majority of themes that you see in Themer were created using Nova Launcher and other apps (like…

DashClock Widget. Immensely useful, more so on your LockScreen than anywhere else. You can see what's come in and what's going on without having to actually unlock your device. (Assuming you have it setup with security and not instantaneous access in mind.)

I need to get that put on my debit card. Stat!

This almost sounds like a comment making an excuse for the bigoted comments further up in the comments. "Bigots are on every front." That DOES NOT make bigotry okay.

Thank you for your enlightened point of view. You've certainly made a difficult situation ("coming out") that much easier with your words. /s

Just look up the bands being used on the phone you're looking to purchase to ensure compatibility with T-Mobile's network.

Yeah, think so. There's a difference though between passing/cutting someone off and braking unknowingly/without thinking and a difference between brake-checking someone to be a dick or because they're tailgating you though.
