I couldn't tell you how many bricked phones I've had lol. I used to buy broken iPhone/droids fix hack and sell them lol.
I even had android running on my iPhone at one point...until it melted Lmao

 

I jumped the 'walled garden' a couple of years ago...

I like trying new ROM's and launchers on my S3.

It's a cheap phone now, so I don't worry too much as I keep a Nandroid on my SD and on my netbook.

 

I still love my droid incredible to no end.
I got that thing stupid fast.
I could put the battery in and turn it on full booted in a second flat. Over clocked to like 3.2 which was pretty much double and it handled fine.

My Japanese phone was too good to need to hack (rip) deployment phone.

Now I have the HTC one and love it. There's all kinds of features I'd always dreamed of and couldn't program into it

I did create some pimping things on my iPhone that faded the color background with the time and Sun height/brightness sensor built into the main screen and had active weather from an Android on the lock screen along with a lime green case before all these colors came out on my 3gs.
I was a cool kid, I know lol

 

Altenator Voltage regulator. I tossed mine when I upgraded to Ford 3g altenator and serpentine belt and saginaw pump (aw yiss... best dump find EVAH!)
