Finally rooted my phone!

Wednesday, January 16th, 2013 at 1:49 am

Took me long enough. I had a microSD card issue that I was waiting to get fixed before rooting…but the issue seemed to randomly resolve itself today. TOO WEIRD.
And when I came home today, I rooted my phone.
Rooting the phone is kinda like buying a Dell or HP computer…and then reinstalling with a fresh Windows. Sorta.
I was able to uninstall/disable most of the bloatware that came with my Rogers phone. Definitely cleaned IT, and the apps up.
I restored the video and music on my SD card so my phone is back to 100% :D

Even better, I got an SNES and PSX/PSOne emulator. I spent part of the night playing SNES games like Mario Kart and Contra III on my SNES Emulator.
And the latter part of the night playing Marvel VS Capcom on my PSX emulator.
The cool thing is, I was able to hook up my PS3 controller to my phone. So it was pretty easy/cool playing a playstation game on my phone. What’s next, Final Fantasy Tactics?

That reminds me, I need to start playing Mario Galaxy. Heard a lot of good reviews regarding it from friends so that’s gonna be my next TO GAME game.

Also – I love my achievements page and admin tool. I’m finding it SO USEFUL for keeping track of everything.
I might build a calendar functionality with it, so I can start adding things like appointments to it.

Alright, going to sleep early (if 1am is early) as I’ve been sleeping around 11 or 12 the last few nights. 9-10 hours of sleep (yes, I wake up at 9)….
