Thx

I've already read that it adds an su app in the apps page so that is one change that would be obvious to even a novice smart phone user. I was just wondering if other changes become apparent once a user logs in as root instead of as the user security level that the phone comes shipped with. Am I not understanding what root is? If I got it right, how is the question not valid?

@Firelord I understand what root is. I used to be a linux guy. But once you get into a gui interface changing permissions or in this case logging in as root could change the way things work. I don't know much about how the gui on android works. But for example if the phone ships with a certain theme, apps, with the phones normal login being used and then a tech for example logs in as root it may look totally different so that it caters to a sys admin or somebody who needs that level of access.

@OliverSalzburg @LinX64 @AndrewT. @bmdixon above question as well, thx

@Izzy @LinX64 @Firelord @Manubhargav @TamoghnaChowdhury I asked a question and it got put on hold. I edited it but it's still on hold. Can somebody help me make the question better or take it off hold so I can get an answer to it? Thanks Link to the question: android.stackexchange.com/questions/127842/…

How do I find out who shut my account off for twenty minutes? @Slytherincess @CandiedMango @ward @JasonBaker @timothymh @CreationEdge

@WadCheber we're officially not on the same team anymore. Good Job dude. I'll now let the powers that be know about you.

@Slytherincess Hey, I just went off on everybody it seems, lmfao. I haven't been on since last week and got on to find that I had 78 rep deleted, and that @praxis was removed. I was so pissed about that. Then someone just informed me that @richard has been removed. So I just posted an answer there. I really just wanted to pop on and off for a minute and ended up here for hours...ugh. How have you been?

With all of that being said, my biggest problem is that he was elected, and unless he did something egregious (racist, bigoted, direct violation of the rules, or multiple minor violations of the rules while ignoring warnings), he should only be removed by the community not by the powers that be, that's crazy. It makes me not want to vote for anything around here.

I never reported them or anything I just dealt with it and decided to get along with him. He was helpful in several situations and I know he did A LOT of mod work on here that others were not doing.

I just read the @Richard stuff. Obviously from what he posted he was asked to step down. I've had many run ins with Richard, probably as many as anybody else.

@randal'thor can he see your msg?

@JasonBaker I don't know about in china or russia, but in the USA arrests are public information, convictions are public information, indictments are public information, trials are public, sentencing hearings are public, that is not what happened here. In an enlightened (whatever that means) society we make things public so we can get to the truth and the people can keep the powers that be in check. That does not happen, here and it's hard to believe that @praxis did an egregious rule violation.

@WadCheber Inaction is harmless is what you said, and people who believe that offend me.

@Shog9 We aren't speculating, we were deciding how we wanted to handle the news, are you monitoring our speech on here to that level?

@Shog9 Hard to tell a community that when the community has no information, right?

@randal'thor LMFAO

@randal'thor starred

@JasonBaker Isn't that really part of the problem. In a community everyone knows what the offender did or was accused of unless it's a minor, right?

@WadCheber Inaction is harmless?!? You're way too smart to say that, umm...the holocaust, the japanses prisoners held during wwii, etc. etc. come on. You should retract that statement.

@CreationEdge Agreed

@JasonBaker yeah and then get caught and face a permanent ban? I wouldn't do that.

@CandiedMango kevin seems to be pretty fair minded. I've never seen him get involved with this kind of crap.

@WadCheber I know what I would want. I'd want people to stand by me.

I was going to make a fuss when I was pissed at what was happening to me, but I decided to let it go. Now this makes me mad b/c @praxis doesn't deserve to be shunned, and there appears to be a disease spreading here of power hungry individuals that are messing it up for the community as a whole.

Union Square Ventures dumped I think six million in, my brother is NYC is good friends with Andy Weissman who is one of the senior partners. There, that's my connection that I've never revealed, f it. So yeah I can get a msg to the fund that invested a big chunk of the money that funds this site. Yeah he's about ten levels than a freakin CM whatever that is.

@JasonBaker which mod

@WadCheber banned for seven days, is that better

@WadCheber he's been silenced, he can't

@randal'thor exactly

@WadCheber Oh he'd want us to do nothing then?

@JasonBaker How can he when he's been silenced?

@randal'thor Not when a venture fund just recently funded the site with ten million dollars.

@ThePopMachine He man, tired of the crap around here, doing more fun stuff. Couldn't believe that I just logged on for the first time since Friday I think, and to find out Richard stepped down, I lost 78 rep, and @Praxis has been banned. CRAZY....

@WadCheber you know that's bs, don't be a wuss, it's not your style. Not only should we not participate but we should send a group letter to the group that finances the site. I know one of the owners of the group. We could send him a group email or something like that to let him know all of the bs that's been going on around here.

@WadCheber yes it would if enough of us did it

@CandiedMango we should!

@randal'thor Richard is not a mod anymore?!? When did that happen?

@WadCheber Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

@CreationEdge star we are not children

@CreationEdge AGREED!

@CandiedMango no but highest level of prvs and mos's owner.

Did Richard know anything about it or was he being tight lipped?

@praxis I wish I could here it from you. I'd like to start a protest or something, of all people can't believe they did this to you.

@praxis I'm not happy about this.

@CreationEdge I think you're the one who created the fake accounts with that 5 rep you lost, lol.

Can @Praxis see our posts?

@ThePopMachine what's your new icon?

I haven't even been on since Friday I believe and I can't believe I got on here to see that I had lost 78 rep and that @praxis was booted. CRAZY...

Well at least it's a little more lightheaded in this room now.
