    Man I remember installing custom roms on my GALAXY S2 back in the day. I had done so much research on what was the best one, and the steps it took to correctly do. I was so nervous the first time, scared that I would brick my phone.

    The little white text on the black screen… Made me feel like a movie hacker lol.

        Yeah that’s the one! Had it in white.

        Wow that’s quite amazing. I imagine you’ve been through a few batteries since new?

          I have 2 batteries, but I seldom use it, I boot it from time to time and I am still impressed it works :)

      My first one was ZTE Blade V880, updated from 2.2 straight to 4.4.2, that level of support won’t be possible now.
