I was hoping the glass app would allow airplay like capabilities like pushing you be videos or videos on my sd... Guess not
[Off-topic] Fortune090:
Haha, I actually JUST did this to an old one I had lying around last week. Must say, it's really nice being able to do what you want with a console again. Last modded console was the original Xbox with an Xecuter 3 chip. The JTAG process was pretty annoying though, I'd say.
[Off-topic] whassupmyninja:
What are the benefits to modding an xbox? Pros? Cons? Im trying to fix my old xbox going through a red ring phase, hopefully i just reset the gpu or cpu and put some ole thermal grease and be good to go :)
[Off-topic] Fortune090:
Yeah, this one was in that same hole, haha. Did a reflow and applied better thermal compound and it's been running like a champ since. Averaging about 70C immediately after playing games.

Pros:

-It's fun to do (personal preference, obviously, lol)

-Able to rip games from the disc and play them from an external drive and you don't need the disc like the official dashboard requires

-It's obvious what you can do illegally, but I won't discuss that here ;)

-Allows use of emulators

-Tweaking of random system settings such as fan speed to make sure the system stays cool

-Custom dashboards have a lot more theme options and tweaks

Cons:

-Can be difficult to get set up. For one, you need a console that hasn't been updated in ~2 years, then you need a computer that has a PCL port for the NAND flash and quite a bit of soldering is involved for that. And after you get that all set, there's a chance you still won't be able to mod it if your NAND image doesn't read back the hackable codes. Most of the time you get lucky though, haha

-Unless you want to run the risk of getting your account banned, you can't play online

After getting past that first con on getting everything set up, I'd say it's worth it.
[Off-topic] whassupmyninja:
I see. Might as well build a gaming pc as that would be worth it, but i can see where if you have an old xbox laying around then modding it would become beneficial and fun as you said.

Win 8 - What's the consensus? I'm kinda liking it - Took a little bit to figure out where some stuff was - But, it's quick & smoother than Win 7 - I think anyway.

Poor support on apps and widgets (but it was consumer beta so take that with a grain of salt). I actually found it less smooth than my win 7. And generally clunky UI for keyboard and mouse (my 2cents). Although my laptop is by no means a power house I would have expected it run smoother on my P8600 2.53GHZ+ Core 2 Duo, 6 gig ram and 7200 rpm HDD.

[Off-topic] Fortune090:
Yeah, I got that first one out of the way a year ago and it's been great. Looking to get an upgrade on parts here soon. Need some income really badly. >.<

Funny though, because the system I had to use to read/write the NAND to this 360 initially was OLD AS HELL. PCL ports are sometimes harder to find than you think, haha. Old box we had lying around. 256MB of RAM, 3GB harddrive, running WINDOWS 2000. Made me laugh when I started it up, but that thing held up like a champ. Since the flashing programs only really need cmd to run everything, it was surprisingly able to work.
[Off-topic] whassupmyninja:
Haha try booting up windows ME or 98! I think i have a pcl port from the 98 i just took apart. I couldn't revive it, tried the factory discs..nothing. So i took out the intel pentium 3 and everything else. Only thing i could use was the hard drive really which was a sufficient 10gb that i installed ubuntu on. I tried to install the cd drive to my current computer but the thing would open lol, so i just installed the floppy disk drive so i could get some data from some old floppies i used back in the day haha

Hoping everyone stays safe with Sandy ..

I'm in Colorado.. worst we get is about 25 below zero.

On another note, I'm liking the look of android 4.2, and the Nexus 10 tablet.

Still on the fence about the Nexus 4.. Looks nice.. but the SR almost kicks its a** still.

If anyone else wants to check it out: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/nexus-best-of-google-now-in-three-sizes.html :)
[Off-topic] Sully6789:
The Nexus 4 has no Micro SD...that alone makes it a no deal for me. And no removable battery? Nope. Reminds me of an iPhone, and if I wanted to be restricted on expandable storage and removable battery, I would buy an iPhone. We'll have android 4.2 not long after source is released, so I'm not worried about that. My SR is fully capable.

The Nexus 10 on the other hand, that thing is a BEAST. But once again, no microSD. Smh. What are they thinking?
[Off-topic] shaggyskunk:
I'm with you!

Non removable Battery & No External SD Card - makes me think of disposable cameras.

Looks like that is where cell phones are headed to. Maybe the nexus will be the first throw away cellular device..

My stock ROM sucks because I'm running orthus 6 on my skyrocket.
[Off-topic] Brad.S.:
Yes! exactly.. storage is why I was on the fence.. I forgot about my affinity for removable batteries until you brought it up. (stupid me, forgetting the essentials)

Here's to hoping that they are partnering with other OEMs to bring more nexus devices. It would be nice to have vanilla out of the box..

I don't know whether to understand Google on their ploy to make cloud storage a huge thing or not.

I could understand some music, or pictures, heck having Docs stored on their drives are nice..

.. But imagine how difficult it would be for the ROM community.

Especially since the only options (as of right now) look to be 8GB and 16GBs... :confused:

I want to see that screen of the Nx10... sounds amazing :drool: lol
[Off-topic] prbassplayer:
Ya because a 28nm Quad core S4 (krait) is almost the same as a 45nm dual core S3 (scorpion) ignore the extra gig of ram and the 720 screen. Yup almost the same [/sarcasm]. No LTE and ext SD card is a negative. But I don't pay for the "big" data plan to actually use LTE to its potential and I can live with 16GB but the latter will hurt, assuming I'm able to sell my sgs3 at a price that's worth the upgrade.

Biggest point is no more waiting for Samsung/ATT for updates. Lack of drivers for JB on my d2att is annoying as he'll. I'm tired of having to compensate for samsungs/att shortcomings.
[Off-topic] whassupmyninja:
You could work around those negatives and use an otg cable and plug in a flash drive for more memory, and an external battery pack if that makes any difference. :) But the only time i will get a phone without a sd and a removable battery is when they cram in more onboard memory and an higher capacity battery from an non existent technology :p
[Off-topic] Brad.S.:
Thanks. I did not know I was asserting that the SOCs used in these devices, how much RAM they have, or the screens were the same. [/confusion] But touche for knowing the difference.. :good:

I am in an area that will most likely not have LTE for another 4 years (things move slow on the country side).. Not an issue here.

Personally, LG has left a bad taste in my mouth :silly: .. But I shall agree on having updates. Which is why I made the statement about vanilla android.

I thought Samsung was going to do that "origenboard" thing to help/provide proprietary binaries so that the exynos chips could be.. utilized.

Maybe I read wrong.

The lack of proper documentation and source code for the S3 does suck... and I am wondering, since I have never owned a Nexus, how it works out with those devices. Are the code/docs readily available?
[Off-topic] prbassplayer:
The source pushed to AOSP is meant for Nexus devices. New version announced? Flagship gets it then older nexus get it soon after (weeks not months/year). As for documentation I can't say.
[Off-topic] Brad.S.:
Thank you sir. I am wondering about the documentation though. I shall let you know if I find more so we can both be schooled :fingers-crossed:

So, why did you get the d2att S3 if you are against Samung/ATT? Gnex was lacking? Knew there would be the new nexus coming soon?
[Off-topic] droidbabyxda:
Anybody heard the news that by Jan 2013 we have to ask permission from carrier to unlock the phone. And also, we cannot rip our own (bought) dvds anymore to put in our phone or tablet... copyright infringement??? This is crazy like going backwards.
[Off-topic] prbassplayer:
Because I disliked the Gnex (outdated hardware at release) and my old captivate was annoying me lol (ironic it will be my main device again if I sell my I747 until release). As for documentation, this is my logical reasoning, Nexus 1 ran a old snapdragon that had a ton of documentation, not necessary Google doing, Nuxus S had Exynos 3 that had its documentation available or relatively easily available and Gnex ran on OMAP which is probably the most open SOC AFAIK. Leads me to believe future nexus will have Hardware documentation relatively available or more than others. But again my reasoning with what I know so take that with a grain of salt lol.

Very interested in the nexus 4. I think it'll be my next. I'm not too bothered by the non removable battery or no microsd. A phone directly from Google is what I want. I think the reason they do without the microsd slot is because they want people to use their apps (drive and play music).

Oh and nexus 10 for sure.

Question: is it better to charge my phone all the way and leave it there until my laptop dies? Or should I let the battery drain and then charge? This is my only source of communication because the hurricane knocked my power out.

Stock ICS on my S3 :(
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Speaking as someone who has been thru Katrina in 2005 and lost everything we had, our home, clothes, furniture, appliances, Tvs, computers, etc, etc, even lost two vehicles. We were down to the clothes we had on the one vehicle we very hurriedly left in and a small bag we had packed. It wasnt supposed to effect us where we were at here in Mississippi according to the NWS but a last minute turn brought the eye very close to our home and thru our small county. So take it from a guy who has lived it if you are in the path of this storm headed up the east coast please please heed the watches and warnings. During a hurricane the weather can go downhill very very fast. Take cover if you are in the path of this storm and reading this. Do not tell yourself well its not gonna happen to me or its not gonna be that bad or its gonna miss us. Do not take a gamble with your life or the life's of those you love. I could tell you the stories of helping my neighbors hunt missing relatives because they were missing and no where to be found or the countless dead I seen hauled out and put on national guards trucks headed to I don't know where. Or the injuries or other gruesome things I seen but I think you get the point or I hope you do anyway. Please take cover and know you all are in my thoughts and prayers...

[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Your welcome. I take it from your post you are near or in the path of this storm so stay safe. I'm sorry if I scared you but sometimes those who would do stupid things in a hurricane need to be scared and to know that the danger is very real. I hope your mom remains safe and that you can keep in touch with her. That's very important in a storm that you have a plan in case you lose contact with her so finding each other after its over will be easier. Again I did mean to scare you but please take this serious...

I didnt go through Katrina, but growing up in coastal North Carolina, we went through a hurricane, sometimes multiple ones every year. They are not to be underestimated. What the wind doesnt destroy, the water will. Always, ALWAYS invest in a generator. You dont realize how much you take electricity for granted until youve spent two weeks without it, or running water for that matter. I'm hoping for the best for everyone thats taking the brunt of it right now, but believe me when I say, you have never witnessed the full fury of mother nature until the eye passes over you at one in the morning and it sounds like the world is coming to an end around you. I always imagined that if there was a hell, it would sound like that. Its a truly terrifying and humbling experience.

How do you guys think the Nexus 4's camera will perform? I'm looking for a phone with a better camera with no shutter lag and good low light performance (iphone 5 level). Hoping the front facing camera is atleast equal to the iphone 4s. That is the dealbreaker for me going forward in buying phones
[Off-topic] iandr0idos:
The Nexus 4's camera was actually made to improve low light settings. I'll say it's probably more than decent.
[Off-topic] Brad.S.:
The lowlights in the pre-lumia 920 shots look great!! (theVerge)

/Most people aren't looking to try out WP though\

I understand the hate. It seems like the OS is built around social networks.. with very few good apps or customizations.

I dont have any social sites (i.e. facebook, twitter) so I have no use to see live tile updates of what people are doing..

I am very interested in the nex4 camera quality. Thats what held me back from the Gnex. I wonder why LG didn't use their top-o-line 13mp from the G line?
[Off-topic] kchen96:
Sounds good. Skyrockets auto settings are terrible and low light u have to manually switch night mode, also the flash is terrible. Hopefully the nexus is good. What about front facing?
[Off-topic] plwalsh88:
I think because Nexus phones aren't meant to be top-o-line in the hardware department.
[Off-topic] kchen96:
I would say quad core s4, 320 ppi screen, wireless charging, and 2gb ram is top of the line
[Off-topic] kr3w1337:
So now wireless charging is considered a top of the line feature?

Apparently when nokia does it for windows phone, it's pointless. I'm not saying that you spoke out against it but it's funny to note nonetheless.

Oh yeah definitely, for me anything apple whether its the mac book pro or iphone devices are pretty boring to me lol. Only reason why my mom and aunt has one is they're friendly for non tech savvy users, other than that specwise and everything they're not that great. Make a device, make it look/feel expensive = expensive to consumer's mind, have a good marketing team and boom everyone will be buying your products regardless what you put in in. On the other hand you cant have one without the other so you do need apple there for competition, I just don't like them and their stupid patent wars. :eek:
