Google I/O is just about 3 months away from now... Wow, summer really is the hypest time of the year: E3, WWDC, and the I/O all in one month!

I'm so excited for a chance to have a peek at new stuff that Google might introduce during the conference, especially when I know I am gonna get that eventually :p

[Off-topic] NVardan:
But I guess you don't have a Pebble right? Man, I am really thinking on getting one. Recent research showed that I could get it for $150 from the official site and actually pay $150 regardless of me being in Europe, so it will cost me near 102€ for it, so it is really a bargain.

Sigh, here I am thinking about possible 10" tablets
[Off-topic] SimonTS:
I bought my old man the LG G Pad 8.3 for his birthday a couple of weeks ago and I'm dead impressed.

Cost less than £200, 1920 HD display, good battery life and really light. I like it so much I'm giving serious consideration to getting myself one.
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
If it had LTE, 32GB and I could get my hands on Google Play Edition - I would grab the G Pad in a heartbeat. Otherwise I am sticking with my Nexus 7.

But other than that it seems to me that unless there is a Nexus 10 v2 - I'll have to sit with my current N10 'till it dies, as I can't stand Samsung tablets and there are no other better options at all
[Off-topic] NVardan:
Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 is supposed to be a really awesome tablet. Are you considering that as a possible option?
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
No.

The LTE+32GB version costs about 850$ here

Plus the screen is lackluster (224ppi vs N10's 300ppi) and the much worse battery (-3000mAh less) will probably not give me a whole day at University, the N10 barely survives that (up to 9 hours of browsing, Ever note and occasional gaming)
[Off-topic] NVardan:
Okay. Are you looking into a Windows Tablet then? Because other than the N10, I don't think there is any good Android 10 incher around AFAIK.
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
Lolno, there's nothing to do on Windows, the apk and game library is awful and I have Windows on my desktop anyway

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
Well if there is a Nexus 10 v2 coming - obviously drop the current gen and go for that on

Otherwise I can try getting Tablet Z or Z2 for lower price, if I can find one

Or I MIGHT try and get along with hardware/capacitive buttons on Tap Pro 10.1, as currently it is the only tablet that prevails above N10 spec-wise and has the same screen (resolution and PPI are exact same)

But first it should at least get some support by XDA community, as there are no ROMs available for neither of the Tab Pro lineup devices at all as of now

I cannot stand TouchWiz

the UI looks refreshing if tht is in the Final build, and it should be able to run on any phone with 512 ram, and if it states that the total apps will not be utilized when in background only the HTML version... seems g8 idea... and executing tasks without opening the main app itself sounds good to me...

[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
So I understand that 4.4.3 has just dropped, question is what now for me?

I'm currently still running cataclysm (4.4.2) which was last updated about four months ago, for a combination of the fact that the developer went AWOL (the mods closed thread after continually spam'd by Muppets) and because it was pure stock based with a select few custom features and is as close to perfect as you'll find in my opinion.

So where now? Which direction for me and it won't be CM.

suggestions and personal experiences please?

Even considering pure stock, but do like things just so...will obviously have nova launcher and Franco kernel.
[Off-topic] suku_patel_22:

Was on Cataclysm from release to the new year and that was good worked well and nice and stable then swapped to Slimkat at the beginning of the new year. I love it,

Sensible amount of intelligent mods and clever devs that value users feedback. nice friendly thread (still get some of the usual muppets). Light & dark themes and you can auto switch between them. Monthly stable with weekly (also stable) in between + experimental if you want to get involved (not to mention the chamber of secrets, shhhhh). They have their own kernel but Franco works well with it as its AOSP. There's still new stuff on it's way too. Tried CM a couple of times since but straight back to Slim with glee. Also use Omni as a secondary ROM with multirom, but that's only to have an extra flash now an again.

Oh and if any knows any themers that might like to join the Slim team they are building their own theme engine from scratch and looking for people.

As you you can probably tell I'm a slimvert!

Saw your message a bit late but would recommend Paranoid Android. Still missing some of it's usual features but it's basically stock with the few tweaks you appreciate. Done very cleanly as well. No overload of features or anything. No need for xposed in my case either

For kernel, elemental is beautiful. Crazy smooth and no fiddling around necessary. I used Franco but found it slightly unstable (had the mentioned SODs) and also slightly laggy. Battery life hasn't even taken a hit for me using elemental.

Although I've been following Franco's recent updates and the audio changes do look good!

[MENTION=354700]ben_pyett[/MENTION] [MENTION=2100957]olyloh6696[/MENTION] MOYES IS GONE! :D it's now Giggs
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
Whilst I loyally stuck by him, I reckon they've done it at the ideal time, now to announce new manager and a few marquee signings before world cup

Yep! It's a shame but you couldn't really trust him to spend £200 million in the summer to rebuild. We'd end up with a load of old felainis!!
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
It almost doesn't seem real for me. Only 4 games to go, with nothing left to play for. (Europa League... if we want it...) Doesn't seem the "United way" after the stability and class associated with the club. I actually feel sorry for Moyes as a person though getting humiliated through the press the night before etc.

On the other hand, it is the right thing to do after all, better now than later on next season! Moyes' stubborn attitude of playing the wrong players in every game showing no real leadership. (Especially Rooney recently - its obvious he isn't fit/has had a drop in form, yet Moyes will bow down to his boss and will only have permission from him before he can sub him off)

Its also clear player relationships have broken down with Welbeck saying he wanted out the other day! And he's been here since he was 8!

Giggs for the next 4 games will be interesting!! But looks like Van Gaal long term. Hope the transfer targets remain the same.

Van Gaal is a attacking minded manager, and always plays 4-3-3. He's got a good relationship with RVP, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is handed the captaincy. (as he has in the national team) Which means Rooney has to adapt to the wing or CM or he's off! I wonder who'll take him though. (Thanks Moyes for giving him unmatchable wages)

Klopp would be ideal but sadly he wants to finish his Dortmund contract... Perhaps him after Klopp? :D

hello, I'm after your wisdom, expertise and experience here......

I need to have a work phone number, but don't want to carry a second device.

the work device will probably be a HTC one mini but won't be rooted. Although to get where I want I'd be happy with any phone...even an iPhone as i don't plan using it.

Ideally the second device wouldn't need to be switched on to perform it's function.

I need a guaranteed method to:

Auto forward calls - EASY

Auto forward texts - possible using a Google play app, but would need phone to be turned on.

Ability to use the work number for outing calls from my phone.

Obviously a dual SIM phone would be ideal, but no real decent ones...and this isn't the conversation I'd like to have, please focus on above. Thanks
[Off-topic] anazhd:
Idk how to start, but here in Malaysia, people mostly rent virtual office. You will get a work number, and it's for call forwarding. Also, you can make outgoing phone from your mobile using the work number. But idk about text forwarding. Overall, it's not cost effective.

Only secondary device is effective. Or switch to a dual sim high end phone.

[Off-topic] bronx:
Dayum... All the boys are still here... ;)

tldr: iLand... Well... I gave it a shot, it was ok, liked many things, hated some... and then got bored. ;)

Where to start... My trusty desire S wasn't ageing well, so in November of 2012 I've decided to upgrade. Considered many options, heck, I even thought about getting myself a Lumia 920. What lured me to forbidden fruit was device build quality and polished apps.

Everything was sweet, but lack of open file system and this non sense called itunes was peeing me off pretty much daily. With iOS 7 things got better and with some trickery (dropbox and few other apps) I've managed to somehow enjoy my Apple experience.

... But all the time somewhere in back of my head I always thought of android.. iOS is really polished and consistent, also stable, secure and fast, but it isn't smart enough for power user. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed my time with iPhone, but I was that time again... Time to change. iOS got boring...

I've decided to come back to droid. My contract will expire in November, so I had a choice to either get some used high end device or low cost new toy, to help me survive until the end of the year. After short research got myself a new moto g and boy... This thing is hot. ;) I already love it more than iPhone, regardless of lower build quality and subpar camera. This thing was £129 (8 GB version) which I consider as a good deal for quad core with decent gpu, unlocked device with stock android. They even gave me 50 GB of Google drive storage for two years. 720p screen, water repellent coating and great, minimalistic design... The list is even longer. ;)

Well boys and girls... I feel in love again and I'm 95% sure, that my next device will be android powered, probably next Motorola flagship.

I'm really glad to be back here and promise to pop in more often.

Cheers!!
