Fair warning, if I pass you going down the road and you're watching a movie in the front seat, I will be running you off the road and into the ditch.

Seriously man, you don't need the cops to tell you that kind of distraction is really ****ing stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
Lol with the exception of my Q5 all the vehicles I have owned have had video playback. As a matter a fact, my first car in 1999 had a custom monitor. Turning the channel on the radio is a distraction. You should YouTube "Vic Gundotra Mercedes". So it doesn't matter if your watching TV or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
I got the car mount that fits in the CD player. Works awesome, best I've ever owned for any device. Very high quality. Easy to use. Vertical or horizontal. Also CD player in my car is at just the right height, I don't like the mounts for dash or windows.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
That looks great! How well does it fit with your phone? I was never a fan of universal mounts, just because they tend to be bulky since they have to be a "one size fits all" solution. I prefer more of an OEM approach where its as slim as possible. I do like your setup though, thanks for sharing +1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
Honestly it fits nice and snug. Also great because I can use any size case I want. The mount rotates 360 degrees and has padded clamps for the phone with an easy access eject button. For being an unheard brand, its definitely high quality and extremely durable/sturdy. I'd recommend it to anyone with a smart phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suntzu:
I've used the Mountek mounts now for nearly 2 years. Had it for my droidx. Also have other family members using it for the iPhone and GPS devices, etc. They work great and also allow a certain degree of angulation - maybe 15 degrees or so in addition to the 360 degree swivel feature. Can be used with any case and also leave the camera free for use if required.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wooba99:
That looks really good. I think I'm going to try and do something like that with my Pro Clips mount. I want to order the Nexus holder, but at $60 including shipping the thought of paying that makes me wanna puke.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellisz:
I like the looks of the mount by the OP but with a case on the phone, it won't work. I bought the Arkon unit a few months ago and it is nice but big. The CD slot mount looks neat but does it does it hurt the slot opening in any way? There is usually a felt lining on the cd opening?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redstorm64:
I've got the same question. And I assume the CD player still functions as well? For $20 I might have to order one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
great work however having cold AC going over the hot CPU or GPU is not a good idea because condensation can build up and lead to corrosion over time.

Its why people don't cool there desktop computers with external air conditioners, if its just the fan blowing its fine.

But honestly that looks really nice good work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djras111:
Actually, The AC is de-humidified. That is why many de-foggers also turn the AC on with the heat to clear the windshield.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
The CD player will not be harmed. There are 4 teeth that stick into the CD player only about a half an inch, not far enough to hurt the CD player. There is a knob on the bottom of the unit that you twist to tighten the grip of the teeth. Basically when tightening, two teeth are forced up and two down to make sure the harness is sturdy. The teeth are basically a soft plastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] push2flush:
Is there a way to remove the plastic ball w/ the screw and just use a ball joint mount with this? in the video it appeared to be a plastic ball inside the joint with the screw, and the gps mount you used had the ball adapter on it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acr89:
That's what I'm going to try. Bracketron offers several different AMPs to ball mount plates. I'd post a link but this is literally my first post.

I'm hoping one of those ball plates will fit into the GNex mount. I also bought short (2-3") 3.5mm audio and micro USB charging cables that I will then try bonding/fiberglassing to the cradle so I don't have to plug them in every time. And then cutting the top of the stupid mount off so I can slide the phone in from the top :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
Removing the ball will most likely damage the cell phone holder. I like the ideas you guys are coming up with. Please do share your modifications, I'm always open to improving on things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] push2flush:
seems like you wouldnt be able to slide in from the top AND have the cables bonded, but either way please post pics of your mods. I've been holding on something that uses the damn pins but i might end up having to do some type of mod unfortunately (unless the newly announced sprint version gets more accessory love that works with the VZW one)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momentarylapseofreason:
I'd be interested in seeing if my car would rip that thing out on a hard launch.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
Nice mount!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acr89:
Will do. My plan (if I can find a cheap official VZW mount, don't want to cut up a $40 mount) is to cut off the top half of the mount and slide the phone in. I would probably cut it off right below the volume button. I'll then plug in both the 3.5mm and micro USB cables and see if I can permanently bond them to the mount. Once the epoxy or whatever is set, I SHOULD be able to slide the phone in from the top directly onto the audio/power cables.

Anybody have any leads on cheap official VZW mounts? Like $20 would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
If you live in S-Cali I can get it for $30.00. But if I have to ship it to you then it would be worthless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwoolf1:
Nice work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aaron Rodgers Beard:
Can you post a link to the Garmin clip you ordered? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aaron Rodgers Beard:
Does this mount block the charging plug or audio jack?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
There is a hole for the plugs in the tab that's on the bottom when mount is vertical . This tab is removable, so if you will most likely be in landscape just remove it. There will be nothing blocking the ports.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acr89:
True, I'm in MD so unfortunately it'd be pointless. Thanks though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
nice job! that looks very clean and oem like, which i like. might have to do this myself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Hey guys! This was a great video, and clean install. I have the mount to the air vents picked out by bracketron (love the name) but was wondering if the Verizon branded gnex holder will hold the GSM gnex just as well? @OP what do you think? Thanks in advance. The GSM version is slightly thinner on the back of the phone due to the lack of the cdma/lte radio......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I have a Scion xB and I have weird round mounts thus the vents are unusable. Hard to find a place to mount. I used the suction cups before but they always fall off. Sucks to have the phone and mount fall with the power cord and audio jack and get all twisted around the steering wheel while driving.

Ho hum.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEdF:
That would probably mount well to a ProClip custom mount. You'd probably be able to watch TV while you drive much better as well. :rolleyes:

Mount

I bought one of the mounts and I'm going to try and get it to mount to a ball joint. The one I have from my original DROID doesn't seem to fit, so I hope I can find another one within my return period since I won't be attaching this to a window (the base is HUGE). Here is a pic of it fully disassembled with the parts labeled, and yet it can still be easily put back together and returned if need be.

hey guys so i reflashed the stock att rom and rooted. then i tried to load romracer's kernel and after i flashed it with cwm, my phone got stuck on the Samsung splash screen. what am i doing wrong? actually, it happened during the reboot after i rooted my phone as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
My suggestion. Boot into cwm. Fix permissions try to reboot. If not go boot back into cwm wipe data/ cache 3 times and reboot. If still no go. Use odin to flash the stocky recovery.tar boot into stock recovery wipe data/cache 3 times reboot. And if still no go odin the full stock tar. Boot into stock recovery wipe data/cache 3 times and reboot..

..also make sure tye rom your using is compatible with that kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jnicks510:
i did a full reflash of the stock tar, rooted, and then flashed the kernel with cwm and thats how it got stuck. right now im still running the clean stock rom tar and rooted so im going to try to install the kernel again, wipe data/cache, fix permissions, and reboot. hopefully that works!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Are you sure the kernel is compatible with the stock rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jnicks510:

Hi All,

I'm currently running the latest EB rom and I noticed my video camera quality is awful. The picture is choppy and is no where near HD. My HD7 5mp camera shoots better video and takes better pictures then my 8 MP G2X. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 3617:
Not many people understand about the camera quality, The higher the megapixel does not mean to the camera quality is better, It is all about the camera sensor inside the camera and that we cannot fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nghia85:
That's sad to hear that it cannot be fixed, I figure with such a high end device that the built in camera would be better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Camera seems perfectly fine to me. Takes nice pictures and good HD recording.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I believe the issue to be software related when it comes to this particular device. I remember the camera quality being much better on Froyo when we had LG's camera app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Our phone had the best camera out of about 50 smartphones. It's just the battery door which ruins most pictures.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
Its because there is no fix for cm based roms with the cam. Try a stock version rom and its perfect for video recording however the lighting on the stock seems to be lower than cm's versions.

I went through this hassle and gave up because I need cm more than the cam lol

Nvidia always!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I hope you know the number megapixels has nothing to do with image quality.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hammett11:
I don't know how much technical stuff you do as far as flashing and everything; if you can do it, flash the Bravia Hack in recovery. It's not a night and day difference, but it definitely helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Take a picture then take another without the back on the phone. Compare them and you'll see that the plastic window on the phone's back cover interferes with picture quality.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Which 2.2 rom are you running? Sod or overheating issues?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bullets4me:
Just install LG cam 3.0 through clockwork mod,requires root but its the best camera app for GB in my opinion. It has built in panoramic and stitches them together very nicely and lots of settings!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stephenju:
I also find the camera under exposes in indoor shots. I have to manually set the exposure to + 2 to make it properly exposed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nghia85:
I'm running EB which runs based off of CM7. I don't think the LG camera is compatible with CM7 roms. Can someone confirm?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deleted member 2747343:
you need a lg gingerbread rom for the lg cam

it will not work with anything other than the lg gingerbread roms
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I actually just removed the plastic lens from the back cover cause how much it interfered with video in sun light... its easily removed and with any strong glue it'd be simple to place it back on. Very noticeable there was a thread open back in may about that subject where I posted the shots with and with out the lens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
Yeah I put that thread up, I removed the glass on the back of my lens too and there's a huge difference. (less foggy, crisper colours)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
From what I've read the LG cam does not work flawlessly with gingerbread. I heard there is a few bugs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I know this has been discussed before but for any one in disbelief, the glass over the camera lense really does hurt the picture quality. I modified/removed the glass (yes its actual glass so be careful) from the battery door and now I am loving my G2x even more!!!

I took test shots in low light and was more than pleased.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I want to figure out a way to drill/cut out a hole in the glass, so we won't have to completely get rid of it... Just the part covering the camera. This would look so much better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] felixx19:
new to this. Love my 3d but want to learn more about rooting. I have rooted all htcs out right now but i have a buddy who has a unlocked photon with superuser installed. The person who said they were gonna root it stopped at that. There is no recovery img. What is the best method of flashing a recovery img. Doing the steps in the forums using the terminal emulator doesn't work. I dont know if this is because superuser is already there. I think photon is a awesome phone but would be awesome to flash some other roms on. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
If superuser is there it may be rooted. Download terminal emulator from market and open it then type SU. It should pop up and ask if you want to "allow" super user permissions. Also when you turn it off and reboot does it say "unlocked" on the top left corner?
[Motorola Photon 4G] felixx19:
I know its got su but can I, and if so how do I get clockwork img or another recovery img on it.

I just installed Thor's ICS 4.0.3 Test#72 ROM (for Acer A500)...

Only few things NOT working (not worried about these few for now)

______________________________________________________________

Camera, Camcorder, HDMI sound, vpn, wifi ad-hoc, hardware rotation lock

Real smooth & Stable @1.60 Ghz (able to go 1.68 Ghz)

I'll know battery life, game tests soon.

Checking out ICS, getting exited (I've tried on 7 different HC 3.2+ ROM's last 2 weeks)

I love how plain it is, Very FEW Apps Running in background
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Would that be through the official acer ota channels to?

Or should we count on devs like Thor if we want a taste of ics?
[Acer Iconia A500] akram_1:

[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
That's from Acer, hopefully our good developers will have it rooted and available soon after the OTA drops.
[Acer Iconia A500] mattalla:
I sent an email to acer support and this was their answer:

I hope it's not true, but I will go ahead and get rid of my stock rom anyway.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
You do NOT want to be posting that link in this forum! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
Officially it is true, so you will need a custom ROM for ICS on the a500/a501 as it stands today. I think I tried telling everyone that already, but just got flamed on the threads for saying it. But, that's not the point now.

Currently, let we only state what has been made public so nobody does the flaming again:

ACER has officially said that the only tablet that will be getting ICS currently sold with HC is their new a200/a700 models. ACER also stated they are scaling back the Engineering staff that currently works on the a100/a500 by 60-70%.

So read into it what you want. If you think this means 'currently' as of today doesn't mean that in the future they won't therefore this by no means closes the door on getting ICS via OTA then you can. You are free to believe what you would like.

TD
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Actually you got flamed for stating that the hardware in the A500 wouldn't support ICS, which is one of the most ludicrous things I've heard to date in this forum. :rolleyes:

[Acer Iconia A500] Sanien:
Not worried

If not A500 then another of its peers will get ICS - Transformer anyone? Porting will be a breeze as the hardware on all current tablets are essentially the same

It just the waiting sucks :-D
[Acer Iconia A500] castafiore:
Compared to HTC who has decided that gingerbread couldn't been properly installed on his HTC Desire neither, I undesrtand the decision of Acer.

This is business. Acer creates new models because the firm is in competition with the other manufacturers and, in order to sell their tablets, they must propose some new things on their new models.

Why to buy the A200, knowing that its hardware is very close to the A500's one? ... Because it runs under ICS when the A500 doesn't.

Since months, we can find dozens of custom roms on XDA running Gingerbread fine on the Desire. Even ICS has been ported successfully on the Desire.

So, I guess that everybody who wants ICS on his a500 will get it too in the near future.
[Acer Iconia A500] amonfog:
sir you are 1 big troll

timmyDean You will always be a noob....

The rumors and news items that were spread seemed to be a scam... Acer clearly stated in front of the world (cnn I bellieve) that they are NOT cutting down on their tablets. Acer made it really clear that they will do a lot to bring acers tablets to the top of the market.

Stepping out of the tablet market would also be a much bigger mistake since the new version of windows (code-named windows 8) will be targeting tablet devices.

To clarify your topics regarding ICS needing higher end devices is a ****load of crap. The first target in the ICS development was to make a Honeycomb update that would be completely compiled, faster and more lightweight.

it actualy needs much lower specs to run than Honeycomb....

next on our list is the official mail you will get from Acer as fast as you ask them "are you planning on releasing android 4.0 on our devices?". In an e-mail to me they actually said that they were currently in contact with Google to test the new android 4.0 system on Acer Iconia a500 tablets.

If you are planning on spreading more rumors regarding devices or whatever. add the sources where you actually got this information to it.

Otherwise get out from xda or any other forum for that matter and trow your tablet away if you are so unhappy with it.

My Iconia Tab is fantastic, and knowing that the new release won't add much new to android 2.3.1 I can life another few days without the pressing need to root the device and pirate android 4.0 to it.

please know that ICS is just a compiled (little bit faster) version of android with a few new functions (including an easy to hack face recognition system).

So Timmy: Stop Trolling or bring that behaviour to the forums and message boards that actually allow that.
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
For you to claim I do not know what I'm taking about is just wrong and I never said anything about ACER getting out of the tablet business. If you'd read, you see that I stated we cut support by half on all twlighted hardware which the a500 is part of. So, instead of listening to actual truth, based on actual information from ACER you can believe what you would like. Jan will soon be over and that will be proof enough for you that there is NO ICS under your OTA Christmas tree.

[Acer Iconia A500] firetruck41:
You were flamed for good reason, not for saying "ICS is not available today", as everyone already knows that. :rolleyes: Martyr much?

Please post a link to your source.

Since when does "currently" not mean current? Of course I would believe ICS is not currently available on the A500, ifthat is what they said. It is believable because we don't have it now. To extrapolate that to mean it will never be available from Acer, is quite a leap. Samsung Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus are the only Samsung phones currently available with ICS, does that mean that there are no former or future Samsung phones that will have ICS? :rolleyes: Use your head...

I used to use whatsapp to text with my wife for free when I'm out of the country. But our one year is up and can't really justify paying twice for it for the amount we use it. Is there an alternative to whatsapp that doesn't slaughter battery life? I was going to go with kik messenger but it was causing massive drain in my testing..just running in the background. Also tried IMSY and I think its garbage.

Would love others opinions :) were also looking to video chat if we can since I now have a ffc. But she will be on the PC. Are skype and tango the best choices?

Wish there was an all in one app that could text/call/video call over wifi with android users as well as pc...does it exist?

Btw I'm looking for something to use on my acer iconia A100 for video chat, I would also like to use some sort of messaging/call app on my DZ, the biggest problem I've seen is most of the apps require u to register with your phone number thus locking the app to just my DZ as my tab is wifi only...no way to register and use the same profile..

Hope this makes sense guys.. thanks for any input
