Help?

I think it all depends on who made the lockscreen. Most of the ones I've seen only show calls and texts. I don't know if the designers don't care about emails or if calls/txt are just easier to do.

Will have to research more...

So fa MIUI is at 53% since 0520 or so this morning. I think my battery life is shitty because of constantly searching for a signal at work. My office is basically in a giant concrete/block building.

**stonehenge** · 07-25-2011, 10:56 PM

DNW concrete block office

race2c · 07-26-2011, 04:22 AM

No shit, right?

Well, it won't be a real true test until I get to school and am not surrounding by a concrete/block building and have emails coming in.

**stonehenge** · 07-26-2011, 05:32 AM

get a dock or just charge it while in the office?

About battery life... this is what I got today:

My phone has been on for 13 hours. These 13 hours include me being home, traveling to work, indoors, outdoors, and traveling back home.. so I hopped towers a few times I imagine.

Display on for 2h17m. 10 mins of voice calls, lots of browser, some twitter/tapatalk, downloaded/applied a few themes and rebooted after each, sent a couple emails, plenty of texts, installed a couple apps, took a few pictures, played music for roughly an hour in total.

It half-ass charged in the car for about 30 mins at one point. I say half ass because USB power takes forever to charge and at the time the screen was at like 80% brightness and was playing music so I doubt it got much juice into the battery. You can see it go up a little on the graph.

It is now at 29%. Regular battery, no extended or aftermarket stuff.

Not bad if you ask me. Here are some screenshots:

BTW how do you like that awesome Carrier Text?

race2c · 07-26-2011, 11:33 AM

Android application of the day: grave defense.

Thanks for all Juan.

**stonehenge** · 07-26-2011, 01:49 PM

I halped somehow?

Pretty sure grave defense is win.

**stonehenge** · 07-26-2011, 04:15 PM

The keyboard and back texture on this looks kinda nice actually:

Although I'd rather not have a keyboard. Just added bulk that I won't use. Hopefully VZWs is keyboardless. The SGS came out around the same time on all the carriers didn't it? Lets hope that if AT&Ts is starting to see light that the VZW version isn't far behind. Then Mike can finally exchange his charge

MIUI theme hoar thread: http://android.modaco.com/topic/3407...9#entry1714549

race2c · 07-27-2011, 12:45 AM

The thanks for the previous post about battery stuff. Never knew MIUI could do all that.

Would possibly upgrade to SGSII...

I feel like such a nooblet all over again. Attempting to build my own cm7 flashable zip in Ubuntu for my personal use since they aren't building nightlies yet even though the fascinate has been merged for some time. Linux has changed sooooo much since I last used it.

Underneath the GUI linux is almost the same on every distro. If you got the latest version of Ubuntu (11.xx I think?) then you probably got the Unity GUI which is completely different than previous GUIs. I'd recommend using 10.xx to get the more OG version of Gnome GUI. Also, if you plan on running linux on one of your machines that you use often, Linux Mint is Ubuntu with drivers, codecs, etc bundled into it to make life easier.

Flashing MIUI on wife's D1

hopefully the little dude can handle it, most people say they are liking it.

MikeH · 07-27-2011, 04:22 AM

Unity sucks ball sack but you can turn it off at the log in page before you log in which is nice.

**stonehenge** · 07-27-2011, 04:36 AM

Ah okay, I haven't tried it yet, didn't look appealing to me lol

Amazon android application of the day: supermarket scramble.

SarkOzy · 07-27-2011, 02:01 PM

got a build up with 11.04 this morning. works fine other than random shit being broken with the 2.3.5 merge.

set default paper to sea twattlez

flashed MIUI on wifes D1 last night and put a decent kernel with some overclocking on that bish and its running smooth as sekz

since I OC'd it, we'll see how her batt life is

but I used a LV kernel so that may help. We'll see.

SarkOzy · 07-27-2011, 03:23 PM

datFascinate would randomly reboot if I UV it by 50mV

**stonehenge** · 07-27-2011, 04:18 PM

MikeH · 07-27-2011, 05:05 PM

Ran dat bish at -50 and never had a random reboot, sucks for you
