Fitting way for it to end. Manu plays like crazy and a Miami foul doesn't get called.

Ruh roh. Terrible offensive set for San Antonio.

Wow, SA gets caught not hustling

I'm not sure who benefits from the overtime. Spurs scuffled early in fourth, then Miami pukes it away and Spurs rally, then a missed FT or two and a big shot from Allen. I don't know who has momentum.

LEBRON SO CLUTCH

LEBRON SO CLUTCH

You can tell the Heat are trying not to hurt people's feelings and make sure everybody gets their touches down the stretch. That teams needs a new coach and they might get one at this rate.

TONY PARKER CAME TO PLAY

PARKERRRR

Ty Lawson ‏@TyLawson3 4m I'm never wearing my headband again either #riptotheheadband

It's like holding in football. You know LeBron is fouling on every offensive possession, so you always assume that calling it is right. Now and then, you mistime it but you know it evens out in the long run.

Spurs missing some makeable shots now

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) I'll be interested to see how long Wade stays on the bench. Lebron has so much more room to work with shooters out there. zero longer

The Spurs could start playing some help defense at some point.

Mitch Kwiatkowski ‏@Jesus_Phegley 1m If LeBron takes a shoe off then game over

The Heat didn't get some calls in the third, but I can promise you that they'll get them now. Spurs have to figure that out and adjust. They're playing like they're trying to get calls

There's the mythical on-switch

The Heat are the most mentally weak team I have ever seen. Good grief.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) You can get by without rooting, but there are some very nice perks that come with custom ROMs and kernels. I don't think I can own a phone that isn't rooted and without a custom ROM, I've just gotten acquainted to too many things from custom ROMs. Examples: 1. Custom quick toggles: Instead of the limited toggles Google includes the quick toggle drawer, I can have toggles that switch on/off GPS without having to go into the settings app. I can toggle sync, auto rotation, WiFi tether, torch, etc as well. You can even create your own custom toggles. 2. Navigation customization: I personally use custom buttons and I assign long-press actions to the navigation buttons as well. For instance, a long press of the home button will kill the current app and a long press of the back button will take you back to the previous app. Speaking of killing apps, that is another perk of custom ROMs. When you swipe the app card away in the multi-tasking pane, the app's process isn't actually killed. So when you really need to hard-kill an app, the only real way to do it is to actually kill the process. You can't do that on a stock device. There are also other cool ways to navigate your Android device. One of them is called PIE and they're basically an array of virtual on-screen buttons that auto-hide. Here's what it looks like. And a good FYI since you own a HTC One. You know that annoying bar with the menu button that pops up on the bottom of the screen for apps that aren't designed for Android 4.0 and above? You can get rid of that if you root and flash a custom kernel that allows you to map the HTC logo to an actual function (such as the menu). I would root and flash a kernel for that alone. 3. System-wide themes: not a huge deal, but there are some nice themes for CM and CM-based ROMs. 4. Custom lock-screen: you can change up the lockscreen wallpaper, change up the text color, display options (such as battery percentage), etc. Not so bad to have. 5. Custom LED notification colors: that notification LED is really useful, but it isn't all that useful if you don't know what apps correspond to what LED color. Well, custom ROMs allow you to change that. You can also set the length and interval of the LED flash. Really useful. 6. More battery life, faster performance: not all custom kernels are good, but the good ones do wonders for battery life and performance. If you know what you're doing, you can undervolt or do custom Hotplugs to take total control of your CPU and maximize battery life. Custom kernels also bring better frequency governors, I/O control, and overclocking, allowing for better performance. 7. Total control of your file system: want to pull an app you bought and back it up? Better root. Want to make a certain app a system app so you can get around MLB.tv blackouts? Better root. Want to uninstall annoying carrier apps forever? Root. 8. Lots of customization options: color of your battery, clock, etc, custom batteries that show percentages, and a bunch of other small things that more or less can help you complete the maximal Android experience. I mean, there's nothing wrong with going stock, especially if you have a Nexus device or any device with stock Android. But you're not getting your entire money's worth until you root. Thanks for this post. I'm going to bookmark it. I'm going to wait for the shine to come off this thing before I start tweaking, but I'm glad you wrote all that so I know what I would be getting into.

Here's a look at my homescreen w/ Nova Prime:

We signed Freudenberg for 175K, which is over slot. We are just 23K under budget now.

I still hate WCIU. Don't get it in HD here. #firstworldproblems

A little outdated, but pretty cool. Reminded me of some of the feature rollouts and stuff that I had forgotten or never even knew: A Visual History of iOS A Visual History of Android

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 06:48 PM) For me, I rooted to get free wifi hot spot (this isn't free on Sprint), be able to do a full system backup (i.e., nandroid), backup apps, underclock/overclock the kernel, try different ROMs and kernels, get the latest version of Android, use hacked apps (e.g. I had free Sunday ticket live streaming for a while a year or so ago), and simply have full control of my phone. I don't want touchwiz or sense UI and would rather have less crap on my phone. The footprint on something like Cyanogen or AOKP is much smaller than the stock ROM which will also give you more internal storage space. And I like some of the tweaks in those ROMs that you won't get on stock, like being able to skip tracks in your music player by simply holding down the volume keys. That being said, you could have a completely fine experience with Android using a stock ROM. I have unlimited data on AT&T, but I get throttled pretty quickly so I probably would waste my time with the tethering. With that said, if HTC gets slow with Android OS updates as they're known to be, that would be the most likely thing to motivate me to root. I like the other stuff, but at this point it isn't enough to pull the trigger. I'll probably wait to try to get sick of/get bored of the way things are currently set up before I root. With that said...I could always root my ASUS tablet. I still love that thing as it is, though...lol
