chaoscreater, I agree with you not liking their initial posts, since they amounted to mainly "don't do it" and the like. However, calling them spammers is hardly valid. They're not necessarily as productive or wisely worded posts as they could have been, but they are expressions of sentiments very relevant to this thread. Thus on-topic enough to not be spam. That said, you don't sound like you fully know what you're doing, to be honest, but that's between you and your N900, so if you feel you understand the risks, great. Which is where I disagree with the rest of you - what you could have done was give him the shell command for launching X-Term already rooted, and THEN presented your warnings.
"no offense, but if you don't have anything constructive to say then don't post something that's useless and pointless."
I hope not
well no i wasn't flaming, trolling or getting angry, you're right on 2 and heading for the 3rd. na ur right theres no risk to using devel and no one cares, never seen a single soul on here who's messed something up or not realised they were gonna fill rootfs and then came asking for help. (and may i add, received it) and i've never seen anyone accidentally delete an important folder because they were messing about as root not knowing what they were doing. you're also right about shortcuts, we should have shortcuts for everything in the name of efficiency! i'm away to code a desktop widget, "zero confirmation complete system nuke!" jus incase ya wanna go the whole hog. overclocked to death? interesting choice of words. tons of mods ad tweaks? i assume you mean copy-pasted tons of other peoples mods and tweaks (not that theres anything wrong with that) people with enough sense to heed warnings will take that simple 3 words as enough. people who need 3inch tall emboldened red lettered capitalised messages of doom to realise its a warning aren't going to listen anyway. as you've just pointed out. i'm sorry you feel this is your thread and i should somehow be shot for treading on your hallowed ground with my opinions, but believe it or not people here aren't obliged by law to bend over and provide exactly the answer you want because you took three seconds to start a new thread.
