Someone really needs to create a user friendly tool for modding phones. P2K is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too complex for the average user, who likely just wants to play a damn game on their phone. Seriously, if I wanted to spend my whole day programming, I'd be getting paid for it. I even know a little about programming, but the idea of trying to get my vista computer to recognize my razr with P2K is about as appealing as ripping off every piece of flesh on my body individually.
The last time I worked with this program, I was using a very simple XP set-up with a W490. It took instructions from about 6 different sites, multiple attempts and several days just to get the computer to notice that a phone had been plugged in. And the W490 has a memory card. You'd think that would make it EASIER. Fucking ridiculous.
This time, I'm running a much more complex vista system, and working with a razr circa 2000. I'm beginning to wonder if this is even possible. The computer has recognized the phone, and according to ALL instructions, all should be well. Except that P2K sucks ass. Don't get me wrong, when it's working, it's amazing. When it works, it's the best tool you could possibly find for your phone. It's confusing as all hell to use, but it gives you complete control over your phone, and even lets you bypass all the bullshit media blocking that most companies use to force you to buy their shit.
Getting it working, on the other hand, is nearly impossible. There aren't many things in the world that I would want to pay someone to do for me. Getting P2K to work is one of the very few. I hate this.
Clearly, I'm not the only person who has had issues... Check the 18 billion forums... There are thousands of us. Sure, many are more patient than I... I'm sure the people who are successful are much better at following each and every tiny little instruction than I am. Great. I just think there ought to be a program with less than 14 million individual instructions. There should be something simpler out there. It's a great program, but installation alone is needlessly complex.
Update: I found version 6. Version 6 found my phone. It seems to be working.
Whoever created version 6, you rock. Thank you. :)
