yea it is a little small. i like the expandable notification tho. click it and it opens full screen.

[MikeH]

too small and too dark. otherwise was nice.

[chevyrado14]

mine isnt dark

thanks to juan for the widget layout

[MikeH]

mine is darker than other notifications

[chevyrado14]

hmm weird. i am running slimbean with stock kernel set to morphic color setting in trickstermod.

[MikeH]

It has to be the app because no other notification is that dark. It's the same no matter what theme I choose too.

[chevyrado14]

hmm weird i wonder why mine isnt that dark?

[stonehenge]

[MikeH]

Anyone got an old phone that they don't use or doesn't work anymore? Want to get jen's little girl one to load only games on so she will quit wanting ours.
I have D1 still, but it won't charge

[stonehenge]

RIP yayboD1, ours still works, we've had to use it as a spare on a few occassions lol

you can usually find some lower end android phones on CL for cheap. $25-50 depending on age, condition, etc. I picked up a little LG for MIL not long ago. I think it was an Optimus of some sort. Decent little phone for $30.

[MikeH]

HD Widgets got a nice update today.

[stonehenge]

pick a set of icons you really like, set them up, then get zooper or uccw and start from scratch, make a clock/date that you like and matches your icons, then find a wallpaper that fits with it all

[MikeH]

I find the widget and then icons.

[stonehenge]

Well if you FIND a widget then yeah it's probably easier to find matching icons. But if you make your own then its easy to match the color/transparency/etc to an icon set.

[MikeH]

I usually just steal setups. If I try and put one together I spend like 3 fucking hours and scrapping it all.

[stonehenge]

yeah i spend 3 hours and then i'm like "hmm not bad" and then i spend 3 more hours changing it to something else

[MikeH]

I usually want to throw my phone against a wall. So time consuming.

[M.B Co]

Exactly. I don't know how many hours a week I spend looking at icons, themes, apps/widgets and layouts.

I tried the whole make my own icons but always ended up using something else.

[stonehenge]

I just want a simple lock screen where it is nothing but wallpaper and maybe the time. You can grab anywhere and slide in any direction to unlock. Similar to the stock S3/Note2 lock screen. Widgetlocker won't do it, don't see a magic locker theme that works, minimal lock doesn't hide the navbar buttons, idk what else to try.

I mean from the old BB. Old bb was so far behind.

[stonehenge]

Yeah the new OS looks decent. I doubt I'll give it a try any time soon but if it takes off then maybe at some point.

They should have come out with an OS like that a couple years ago. Now BB and MS are fighting for 3rd place and it is a small third place compared to Android/iOS.

[JayBo]

For real.

Thinking of flashing Slim.
Just dont rly see many advantages b/c I'm too lazy to wipe/restore, etc. Don't feel like fucking w it.

Oh, what is the F Charge option? Fast charge? Doesn't seem to do much, maybe I just haven't noticed

[stonehenge]

It pulls more power from USB but disables data transfers. By default it pulls a lower amount of power when connected via computer, car charger, etc that when connected to the wall. Fast charge makes it pull the normal amount of power, you just can't copy files back and forth while it's enabled.

[JayBo]

ah so just makes it charge faster via computer usb. okay, cool. I need to use that at work

I know Jennifer got one last year and she didn't like it very much using it every day lol. I don't really care lol. I'd use a old school flip phone for work if I could.

[stonehenge]

if your mom will give it to you free or cheap then fuck it, you'll either like it or you'll have something decent until you can find an android phone you like

[JayBo]

Gnex still works fine. Just cracked at the bottom of the screen around the home buttons, etc. The case and screen protector did jack shit. It didn't even fall hard. Just barely slipped from my hand at lower than pocket level

[stonehenge]

You are just unlucky with phones, I've dropped mine HARD several times. Asphalt, carpet, cement, tile, linoleum, etc. it has landed on the corners, face, and back. All with TPU cases (cruzerlite or diztronic). Same with my DX in TPU cases.

YayBo is just cursed :emo:

[stonehenge]

For anyone here that plans on using an upgrade or making a new line on any of the main 4 carriers, you might want to sign up for this: https://www-ssl.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcat17413&type=page&promoCode=RESERVE2

You get $50 off if you upgrade or get a new line before December 31, 2013. No strings, you just have to get your phone at Best Buy obviously and it is for 2-yr agreements only, no prepaid.. Best Buy usually has phones cheaper than the carriers, then take another $50 and it's a pretty good deal.

Wifey already tired of Fassy's slowness so she'll be using her upgrade in Sept and mine comes around in October. Was thinking of going to GSM prepaid but everyone I talk to has signal issues except VZW peeps. :blah: I guess my next phone won't be a nexus :emo: fgt VZW and it's sexy network coverage.

[JayBo]

Have been seeing commercials for the straight talk pre pay phones. Kind of crossed my mind.

I was looking at screen, is it possible to just replace the outer glass part that covers the screen? Or just replace screen itself? I'm not scared to take phone apart if parts are available to do such.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

[stonehenge]

From what I've seen, the GNex is pretty easy to take apart and put back together.

The problem is that the part will run you like $130-200 (https://www.google.com/search?q=samsung+i515+display+digitizer#q=samsung+ i515+display+digitizer&hl=en&tbo=d&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ei=v2ISUfLeIeyQyQG9nIH4DA&ved=0CAwQ_AUoAA&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.41934586,d.aWc&fp=ea7d07c2899d3c82&biw=1670&bih=929) depending on where you get it. You could probably find a new phone for that much if you wanted to.

[JayBo]

Yeah there are several on swappa for $170 or so. Man, that's a expensive part

Well mom told me the 4s was for my dad lol. She used my upgrade..which I don't care bc I wont upgrade through Verizon anymore so I can keep unlimited data..

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

It's because you're replacing the glass AND the display, they are one piece.

I'd just do insurance, it's the cheapest route to get back to where you were. When my wife broke the screen on her Stratosphere, we didn't want to pay $100 insurance since the phone was free and we could get a similar-spec'd fassy used for $40. You can't get a GNex for <$99 so fuck it, call them.

Oh and I didn't replace the Strat screen for the same reason, shit was spensive.

uninstalled Carbon, it was missing a couple things and the notifications FCd whenever I tapped them :jester:

So I think I'm gonna buy Falcon, Tapa, and TiBu. Comes out to $10.56 and I have $10 gift card. Have to use le debit for .56 ayfkm

Bish ass TiBu has to be $6.58 instead of $6 :blahclap:

[MikeH]

TB Pro is def expensive, but worth it.

[stonehenge]

Well I don't really have any other apps that I want to buy so the $6 doesn't bother me but it's annoying that the extra $.58 wont fit on the gift card :jester: It's not even $1 out of my pocket so idgaf, just annoying.

:turborofl: would have been better buying titanium with card and then just paying the 99 cents for falcon.

[stonehenge]

yeah i know that now but i bought falcon longer than 15 minutes ago

not being able to pay with two payment methods is pretty retarded considering you have to put even amounts onto the card and most apps are unever $X.99 prices and odd prices converted from other currencies

Getting the glass to separate from the panel is almost impossible. Unless you are EXTREMELY careful it isn't even worth the hassle.

so I should just order the whole display? I found one for like $85

There's a Samsung Rugby but I'm pretty sure it's only on AT&T. The only "rugged" Android phone sold on VZW is the Casio. :blah:

You'd be better off doing what Mike said. Buy a phone you like (or keep the insurance GNex) and get an otterbox for it.

Otterbox is just so fucking bulky. I have one for Gnex, its just too damn bulky. It's the most rugged of the 2 diff cases though

Trying to build my own wallpaper/layout homescreen. Need some input

Messed with UCCW for hours last night and couldn't come up with anything that looked halfway decent or matched everything else.

Upper right hand corner: Thinking of a battery widget of some sort that goes with the simple off white text plus a splash of color animation. As well as phone stats.

Wallpaper/Background: Type of line split describing what's on the screen. Weather, Time, Calender etc....

Been saving a ton of .png of different textures, colors. Let the long stooopid process begin.

i swear I don't see many changes between the diff builds

[stonehenge]

That's because the changes are usually fairly subtle once they've added everything major (which they already have). Finding changes requires digging through github unless they release a new official build. Luckily they just released build 3 so here is their list of changes:

New features
General UI
UI mode selector – Phone / Phablet / Tablet
Transparency control for all the things!
Dual panel at any DPI
Car Home is back
Lockscreen
Allow timeout / instant lock for Slide
Quick unlock (PIN/password can unlock without pressing enter)
Navigation Bar
Hiding NavBar – if you enable this, NavBar won’t be visible all the time, you can slide up from the bottom of your screen and it comes back!
Recents – GB style
Custom icon tint
Menu UI overflow
Statusbar
LastApp Toggle

Some fixes have been added too, check it out for yourself on our code-review page.

and they added 5 new devices to their list.

[MikeH]

Call Sprint, not Asurion.

[Manbearpig]

I went to Sprint store and they gave me a card to go to sprint.com/protection

and that lead me to asurion

[MikeH]

Oh, VZW always handled that shit. Never had to deal with Asurion. I remember back in the day VZW would transfer you, but not anymore.

[Manbearpig]

No shit

I would just walk into store

and they'd be like yup phone is fucked

and a new one would be shipped to my door

[JayBo]

Verizon used to be easy as hell to get replacement phone through. Deductable also used to be way less. Even for smart phone. I remember it was $50 for my first D1 replacement.

Now is $99.

[stonehenge]

yeah, asurion raised their prices

i'm pretty sure they raised for all carriers they cover though, not just vzw

Not sure what kind. Otterbox too bulky unless gets the commuter

[MikeH]

[chevyrado14]

i have an incipio and like it. its not bulky at all.

[Manbearpig]

DNFW Otterbox

[stonehenge]

you guys like the incipio better than diz/cruzerlite? still love tpu too much to try other kinds :jester:

[MikeH]

incipio is dual layer so has a little bit more protection than just TPU

[chevyrado14]

yea mine has a silicon inside and a hard plastic backing. got a pink one for the wifes razr too

[MikeH]

I still prefer TPU, but was just saying it would be a good option for Yaybo.

yaybo needs to get otterbox then duct tape pillows to each side and keep it inside trashbag full of foam peanutz

[MikeH]

I dont put anything on lockscreen, like it stock

[stonehenge]

I installed it this morning, I like it because it looks stock but you can add weather/battery and those things show up as a simple icon when the widget is minimized. You can also choose between bold/thin/both for the clock/date.

[MikeH]

I dont like how the widgets are always centered, like it to the right.

[stonehenge]

that doesn't bother me, would be a nice option to add to the widget though

[MikeH]

there is no way to get back the stock clock either which sucks.

[stonehenge]

i thought it came back if you didn't put any widgets on the lockscreen and then locked the phone?

[MikeH]

Does it? Try and let me know please :chuy:

[stonehenge]

I've been sticking with Slim. We don't have many options anyways, but it runs good :imo

[stonehenge]

well my keyboard randomly chooses when it wants to show up, sometimes it doesn't pop up at all when I tap a text field. Earlier I lost signal completely and had to reboot even though it is an area I'm in ALL the time without problems. I also had two soft reboots today, haven't had any since I went to slim.

might go back :blah: or maybe its my kernel, although I'm using the same one (faux) that I've been using for Slim without issues.

[race2c]

for those of you running dashclock...

do you have a way to unlock the device when clicking the extenions? e.g. i have the daskclock on my lockscreen, click the extension(s), and yet still have to unlock the device. anyway to get around this while still having the dashclock widget on the lockscreen?

[stonehenge]

If you tap it while the widget is small, it will want you to unlock. If you tap it while the widget is expanded, it will take you wherever it needs to (weather, battery, calendar) without requiring and unlock. I guess you could change the rom control option that makes widgets start out large by default.

It's FC about 4 times on my phone (not responding) while phone was unlocked and doing other things.

Pokémon TV Arrives On Android, Streams A Rotating Selection Of Episodes For Free

http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/nexusae0_pokemontiny_thumb.png

http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/nexusae0_pokemontv1_thumb.jpg

There's little doubt that Pokémon is the very best at separating parents from money. Like no franchise ever was. Getting Nintendo to relinquish control of content, though, is a real test. It doesn't generally stream its show for free without good cause. Today, however, it's available across the land. The animated series can now be streamed to Android handsets far and wide.

Admittedly Pokémon licensing is something I don't understand, but it's pretty powerful that this app has free episodes inside. It's not the complete series, but it's probably enough Pokémon for you and me. I haven't seen the show since high school, but I knew a reunion was destiny. There are also movies, trailers and Pokémon specials to watch with your best friend. We live in a crazy world and nostalgia is something we must defend. It sucks that you can only watch a certain selection, but at least the show's heart is still true. More episodes will cycle in so don't start worrying, your courage will see you through.


While the franchise has grown to be a monstrosity and one could argue it's become a trite cash grab, it's possible this show still has something to teach me and to teach you.
Pokémon. Gotta watch 'em all.

Mine disappeared yesterday and wouldn't come back for a long ass time.

This build isn't very kosher. DIAF

[stonehenge]

Got to work, tried to text waifu, text kept failing even though I had full 3G (LTE is turned off). Rebooted it and got a few emails/texts since apparently it decided to stop transmitting data even with full signal. :blah:

wtf happened to aokp :emo: i wonder if the official build is like this or if it's just fits version :chin:

probably gonna go back to slim

Señor Bailey, are you having problems with yesterdays build? I'm on the one from the day before.

i haven't noticed anything strange with yesterdays aoskp build. i did clean flash last night cause it was acting weird with a dirty flash over the official aokp build. my gmail is syncing correctly and I've received several texts and a couple calls.

[MikeH]

Did one of you out minimal miui theme in DB?

[chevyrado14]

i think i did

[MikeH]

Can haz newer version?

[chevyrado14]

i got it off blapk there is a newer one on there but not the newest ill throw it in the db

I did a clean flash plus apps from TiBu, gapps, and kernel. Maybe the kernel is the problem somehow. Before I go back to slim, I'll try another clean flash with the newest build and keep the stock kernel. :hmm:

I've lost data twice though and it seems like it could be related to how it switches between wifi and 3g or something because it happened yesterday when leaving work (where I use wifi) and today when I arrived at work. Might have to go joyriding for lulz later just to see if I lose signal lol

[MikeH]

I put a few things into DB as well. Crysta icons, Reddit News, new theme which I cant remember how to speel but starts with a S.

[JayBo]

What the fuck??!!

3rd softboot of the day!!!!

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

And the wifi keeps acting stupid. Won't connect when the AP is right beside me. Usually has no probs. FTS, flashing back to older build

[MikeH]

No one tried Santrayu or whatever theme in DB yet?

[chevyrado14]

anyone have any ideas why titanium is trying to restore data when i reboot? it only does it after a fresh flash and restore using their .zip thing. is there a script i need to delete somewhere?

im trying that theme right now. it looks pretty good so far just a couple menus are hard to read and my 4g icon is still blue not white.

[MikeH]

I dont use their zip thing so I dunno :shrug:

[stonehenge]

also haven't used zip thing :shrug:

[MikeH]

just realized that you can set status bar transparency on Slim so its only when on launcher and lockscreen. Hated it when it was transparent in apps.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

but it pulls the background from homescreen when on lockscreen, damn. guess will set to launcher only.

[chevyrado14]

ok figured out my titanium problem. the .zip thing puts a file called .titanium_backup_data_restore in /data/data. from what i can tell this file is used to restore app data after the zip is flashed and rebooted but it doesn't do it on the first reboot it does it on the second and every time after if you cancel it. i renamed it to .bak and it didn't try to restore. the script in the zip is supposed to auto reboot but it never has for me maybe twrp doesn't support that option and that's why it was messing up.






tldnr lol

That's how AOKP's transparency works (only on the launcher and lockscreen)

[chevyrado14]

yea it was a pain last time i flashed something. i had it all setup and then it restored that data and screwed up everything. ill try to do just apps next time on the zip and see what happens.

How do you guys like it? Good enough for a DD?

[stonehenge]

Feature wise it's great. Stability wise I had a few issues with the previous build but now it's running fine. Give it a try :shrug: easy to flash something else if it is buggy on the S3.

[JayBo]

I just flashed today's build. That other was buggy as hell. Laggy, keyboard kept going away, soft reboots that would cause stuff to not work (ie wireless, data)
so let's see how this one goes.

[M.B Co]

Will flash today. Seems promising in the xda threads. Minimal bugs.

[stonehenge]

Jay, that's what happened to me on the Feb-10 AOSKP. After trying the latest one, I haven't had my keyboard disappear, no lag, no soft reboots.

I do have one problem and I had it with Slim also so I think it's an AOSP issue, not rom specific. My music player closes whenever it feels like. It doesn't matter if I'm using PlayerPro, Play Music, CleanMusic, etc, they all do it. Sometimes I'll be listening to it for a while, sometimes it does it a few minutes after I turn my screen off. At first I thought my headphone jack was getting loose and causing it to think I unplugged the cable (my D1 did that) but that isn't the issue because the player closes COMPLETELY, not just pauses.

It almost seems like Android is killing it for memory reasons. Maybe it has something to do with the memory leak that Roman said they found in AOSP that has been fixed in 4.2.2 :chin:

[JayBo]

so far its good. only 15 min in though

[stonehenge]

I flashed it yesterday and it's been great so far.

[MikeH]

Haven't ran AOKP in forever, but with Roman being back I imagine it will be as good as it was on ICS.
