Yep, in November I got to trial a i9305 from my work for a month (very fortunately while my N4 was on back bloody order), I was very impressed with TW in every way, I'd never used it before and had only ever heard bad things about it from the HTC (biased) forums I'd spent time in....so was surprising and will mean when it comes to picking my next device (years away now) or recommending devices to others I won't be biased in any way!

If June, I reckon that the S4 will look wonderful! but don't have my crystal ball to see what competition it will have! ;)

Just put Ubuntu on a separate partition if you are afraid of breaking anything. I did just that, so I have 150 GB for Wn7 and 150GB for Ubuntu, it's pretty much enough for me, plus you can access Win7 partition from within Ubuntu at any time no problem

Though Windows should have a backup solution, I think it's called "System Archivation", and it puts the whole system (IDK if it applies to your personal files) in a .zip that you can restore from using "Windows Restore Utility". Win8 can do the same but put the system into an .img file which you can even burn to a DVD and restore/install straight from it, thus you're kinda getting a retail copy
[Off-topic] hisname:
so...i have been reading on ubuntu docmentation....if i were to burn the .iso file into a dvd,i do not need to re partition right?
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:

Why Ubuntu, use Linux Mint. In my opinion it is the best Linux distribution.
[Off-topic] teadrinker:
Well I think Arch Linux is far better than either of them. A bit like gentoo but with precompiled packages. But then not everybody likes to install and set up the system from the console, I suppose :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] amidabuddha:
Since you can run SolidWorks then Ubuntu will work. Otherwise Unity is a bit PITA on weaker Video Cards

Anyway just be careful not to wipe your Windows partition. Best for start is to install inside Windows via Wubi just to get use to it. You can uninstall it like any Windows programm later and no partitioning required.

Also try Mint - it is much more user friendly for starters

solid works run on Ubuntu too?I see many mainstream programmes doesn't say anything about installing on Ubuntu. my computer is a little old and the specs isn't that high end.
[Off-topic] amidabuddha:
No unfortunately :) I saw it on your screenshot that's why I mentioned it. On linux you can say goodbye to most of the Windows programs. You cab still install them via Wine but it sucks, especially games

Linux in general does great on older computers but 3d unity is a bit buggy. Try it before install - just burn to USB and reboot the PC. You have to make sure that the USB will be loaded before the HDD. Check thus in your BIOS. If you like it then install as dualboot (but search for a good partitioning guide or you may destroy your data) or try Wubi install - open the iso or burned USB on windows and start the exe. The Wubi is much safer

So, guys, do you think there that it makes any sense for Samsung to release GNote3 when there's already Galaxy Mega that basically has the same screen size as the GNote (at least that is what I know from the rumors and reports)?
[Off-topic] NVardan:
IMHO, it will make sense to release the GNote III. The screen size doesn't really matter as much, as the S-Pen functionality. They'll tweak the software even more and they'll add an additional GB of RAM(probably), will take a better SoC and bump up the resolution to 1080P and market it very aggressively.

sonos is a free alternative, but you have to pay after a month. but you could hack sonos so that it wouldn't check for licence. here's the point, hacking sonos IS LEGAL. sonos is registered under GPL, therefore we could change the code to whatever we like and remove licence check. we could even REDISTRUBUTE IT as long as we release the source code!!!

try looking at porting guides out there in the DS forum. there is a few of them
[Off-topic] NVardan:
Thank you for the info!

Google expanded it to Europe, but it skipped Germany probably because of GEMA. I'll have a look at sonos, and I should say, I already tried to port some AOSP ROMs with success, but it was like changing some files in the zip and renaming it and editing the build.prop. So it isn't a real port, I will look at other guides as soon as I have free time too.

I am not sure how to do it either. but once you disable license check, you could sign in using the desktop version and they will tell you something about having paid the licence. once that happens, your account is sync and..... it's a "paid" account across devices.
