What say Johnny. Ooooooh, that Galaxy is looking mighty fine at $319, bra. I never heard of Swappa so this is something new. Have to bookmark this site. Oh man that is so sweet, too! I just cannot do the $300 thing this month, too busy cleaning up crap from bills = income and so I had to do some "weeding". It will take a couple of months to pay off, but it will pay off. I just hope they have phones like that again in a few months. Looks clean, never activated so I think I could take that phone to Verizon and have it put on my service.

3GB RAM and all you had to do was stick in the SIM card? NICE! That is enough RAM to do cool stuff, too. Voice Commands, multitask. You are going to be all set with that baby alright.

...girl? Are you out of your freaking mind?! That Avatar is a real picture, bra. I do yak a lot because I know how to type, use a PC for this stuff, and when you can type, you just "talk with your fingers", is all. I forget about TapaTalk and hate having to look at the tiny screen, let alone compose on it, ACK! But I should really give short tech answers to those reading on a phone.

This is a very unique thread, Johnny. Everyone here is friendly, supportive, helpful, and all of them are real friends. In a place like this, I tend to loosen up a bit and talk freely. Much of it is just yak between friends because CM11 development, what got us here to begin with, is pretty much dead. So I stick around to man the Help Desk and talk with my friends, like YOU. That don't make me no dammed girl, just an easy going fellow who likes to talk to his friends.

PERSONAL INFORMATION REDACTED

This thread was not always "nice and friendly" the way it is now. When I joined here, getting heard by anyone to ask a question was really, really hard to do. So, I used psychology. People *love* to talk about themselves. So I would comment on a post and say wow that is so cool, how did you do that and they would take the bait every time and eventually, I could slip my own questions in and get answers, finally. Some people do not like my posts because they are long, but are used to it now. Mostly because they are using a phone and not a big screen PC. The phone is hard to read on a tiny screen and worse to type back long answers or posts. They know enough to skip my posts unless there is some information they need in it. ;)

...wow. Didn't mean to get into "all that" but like I said, I have friends here and I bet most of them can relate to this story in one way or another. Well there you go man, I am just a regular bloke, pretty easy going. Easy to talk to and understand a lot by now. Nice talking to you Johnny! :cowboy:

Oooh that ROM. I am currently on PAC RC3 4.4.4. Its not bad, its actually smoother than cm11 and with lots of free ram. But as usual, u have to wipe cache from time to time to keep it smooth.

Thanks tho.

SSDs are a godsend [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] I'm never building another desktop without one as the main OS+Apps+Games drive. I'd still use a HDD for massive storage, if I found a need for it. Now if only I could find a workable method for running Android on a PC with the ability to run ARM code specific apps/games on a PC with a SSD in it.... *cough*The Simpsons: Tapped Out*cough* I'd be all set! (Yes, i've tried Android-x86, and Bluestacks - x86 doesn't run ARM code and Bluestacks works but is SLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWW as molasses in winter).

OMG, Run Android on your PC!

I was talking to [MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION] about a bunch of stuff. He wanted to run Android on a PC and I thought you would need a VM to accomplish this. In my short Google search, I found there are a bunch of Android iso files available for download (Free - Open Source) and the last batch are "Live CDs". Live CDs are really cool, you just burn the iso to a CD with Windows Image Burner, put in CD drive, reboot to CD, and you are done. You actually run the OS directly w/out an emulator or Virtual Machine so it is very fast!

This Live Linux CD started with a menu, I picked VESA mode because that is what worked on my rig, and sure enough, Android booted, asked for my Google account, wanted to use WiFi which I do not have on my desktop, and finished up. This is Android 4.3 I believe and sure enough, my PC turned into a giant tablet. I had Play Store and everything else!

The android-x86 iso file set can be downloaded here. Same as any other build, about 200Mb. This is super cool and if it were not 2 AM, I would be playing all night with it. But I must stop and go to bed. But for sure I want to try more of this. Everything, for the most part worked. Maps, browser, Play Store, and all that. Since I do not have cellular data and not even WiFi on this PC, how was it getting it's connection? It had a Mobil Data tab in Settings with an Ethernet tab up top, showing my data usage.

It has quick tiles, notification bar, and Notification pull down. Nav Bar and App drawer. You can install or just run off the disk. I am pretty impressed. To be able to build it up with apps and theme it, one would have to do the install and dual boot to save your settings. I have not played with it enough to decide that, need to investigate storage and all that stuff. I do not know how to do a screenshot right off or I would have shown you all.

Anyway, if you want to try it, go for it. Running it Live from CD will not change anything or harm your PC. You shut down or restart and it is as if nothing happened. I am definitely going to check this out further and if it appears fruitful, I will install dual boot if I can to retain settings. I would like to do this on my laptop but it is an old Vista laptop, converted to Windows 7 and really does not have much resources. However, I could not get it to show the boot menu on the laptop. Not sure why right off, maybe need a different iso. Find out later.

Interesting TidBit from Try Google’s Android Mobile OS on Your Computer with Live CD

For developers, emulating the Android environment will allow new software to be tested without parting with any hard-earned money for the latest and greatest cellular device. For the consumer, the ability to “try before you buy” is enticing to any cautious buyer. Provided you have a CD burner and the ability to boot from a CD then you can take Google’s latest offering for a test-drive.

I gave up 6 months playing that game (Tapped Out). From May 2013... But I've been thinking about installing it and logging in again. I think I stopped at level 37 or 38 (but that was the furthest you could go then).

Problem was it took forever to visit all my neighbours.. And give everyone tasks.

Just chows battery. ;)

Hi [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION], sorry for response late. I'm using 3G / Hotspot here and no connection issue. Where I live here is a big city and the coverage is very well. Coming back from idle to 3G/HSPA is quick and no lags in YouTube 360P video streaming.

Did you have checked you baseband radio version? I've flashed stock 4.1.2 firmware from Retail EU before flashing CM11 and it works well. Latest firmware nearest to you location should be most compatible and less issues.

Another check point is in Settings->Battery->Detail(tap the graph) and check if your data is REALY disconnected or just no response from network. Sorry that I can't upload a screenshot for reference right now. Hope these information can give you some help. Thanks.

...playing Tapped Out, gave up. What is this, on the phone? How does this relate to your PC SSD? Tapped Out is what, The Simpsons? Oh man, no wonder you gave up. Games like Sim City, Farmville, Smurfs, Minecraft, are all long as hell, little bitty details to take care of forever, boring games. There is like, "no action" in games like this. The combat is simulated, often a roll the dice to see who wins outcome, and what, you get some hide, you get some seed, you plant it, you harvest it, you sell it, you need to buy a tractor, etc. No action, no excitement, just a never ending "game" of busywork. Yeah, you "accomplish" stuff all the time. Bigger house, got your own farm, got a better weapon so in battle, dice roll is more in your favor. But you never actually "win" this kind of game. Well, some people go for that sort of stuff. If you like it, more power to you bra.

One problem I had with Minecraft and gave up is the sun goes up, you are safe, the sun goes down and skeletons shoot you with arrows, jumping sticks explode on you, zombies come at you, no where to be safe but home or dig a hole somewhere. Then you have to go find stuff to make a better house. You go on a long journey and get trapped at night. Even when the sun comes up there is no way in hell to find your way back home again. If you die, you are screwed because all your stuff is in the pond where you got killed and where the heck would that be? The world is like infinitely large. I never had all the resources I needed nearby to do all I wanted and any long journey got me lost and I could never get back home again. Too frustrating so I gave up. Cool, yeah, but satisfying gameplay? Nah.

I dig shooters. You definitely are involved. Headshots, sniper rifle, handgun, grenades. Take out an enemy fort with strategy, grenades, and picking some off with snipers. Tom Clancy games are good like this. Ghosts was freaking awesome, especially if you have a good graphics card. Night vision, drive tanks, sneak in, the tension is mounting, you get excited. Man, that is the stuff for me and why I built a rig that can do it. Saints Row was kind of weird, but fun. Lots of action stuff to do. Fly, run up buildings, killer weapons, a team to work with. Bioshock was cool. Crysis. Well, that is just me.

Hey Daniel, check out Mr. Chen's reply to your tether 3G issue. He has good advice and things for you to check. Mr. Chen is very diligent so if he has something for you, I would take it seriously. Go read Post #7541 above this one, it may really help you out, especially the firmware he suggested. Good luck, man! :good:

Thank you

Coverage is no problem for me at all; I never check my signal bar EVER. It's just not an issue (unless you're out in the bundus). Obviously not all areas have 4G/LTE coverage (or even HSPA), but you have signal - just slow data, but no problems with phone calls or anything like that. I work in the city and stay about 50km away, but have proper coverage in both areas.

I tested tethering at home on Friday night. I disabled my network adapter and used my phone as the modem. I didn't have any issues - maybe I didn't test long enough.

At work, it's another story, and I'm starting to suspect it's just my work setup/pc. I am currently tethering, but I cannot open any new webpages (essentially, I am typing this offline). I went onto the phone and opened the Play Store and opened Google from within Dolphin Browser - worked just fine. So it could be this Lenovo PC here at work - also, I haven't unplugged the network cable, and our network is very complex (at least it seems so). I will test again at home and if it's just here at work, well that's good, but I actually want to use it at work - but not the end of the world (it works for the most part anyways).

Minecraft:

Ohmster, why don't you carry a bed with you, plonk it down during sunset and sleep through the night.

Press F3 and write down your home's coordinates for when you go on a long journey.

Always carry an iron pick-axe when mining, but use it only on blocks that require it (gold, diamond, redstone, lapis lazuli, emerald), else use a stone pick-axe unless you have a lot of iron, then go ahead with only iron.

Also, when mining it's useful to have wood with you and a crafting table, also some (lots for safety) food - you can be down there for a while collecting valuable items - and so you'll need resources (you will need to make torches, more pick-axes, ladders, swords etc.).

Where is sad days ... ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
Tapped Out is actually fairly quick in terms of levelling, at least comparing to other "build your own [x]" games that i've tried. Plus if your a fan of the Simpsons, all the little easter eggs and correllations with the show are great (not to mention if you ever get to go to Universal Orlando where they have a bunch of Springfield's buildings in one section of the park!)

Anyway, on the Android on PC front, there seems to be two approaches:

1. Re-work Android to boot as an actual OS on the machine (A live CD sort of falls into this category)

2. Virtualize the installation to run it inside your current OS.

In the number 1 category we have Android-x86 port (http://www.android-x86.org/) as well as Console OS (http://consoleos.com/) which are focusing on making Android into a native x86 architecture OS.

In number two, you can also use an Android-x86 iso to virtualize, or there is Bluestacks (http://www.bluestacks.com/) which is a pre-built vitualized enviornment you can download and install.

In my research and ventures into this field, Bluestacks has it "working" (I've actually been able to download, install, and open Tapped Out and sign into my springfield) so they have things working from end to end, complete with Play Store access and updates (they apparently have both a free and "pro" version now which is subscription based, the free version has auto-downloaded apps every now and again). The only drawback with Bluestacks is it always seems slow. Slow to open, slow to load apps, slow response time from the apps.

I've run a Virtual Machine with an Android-x86 ISO installed on it - OS boot time was decent but no Play Store access, and 3rd party app install failed almost every time so that's obviously not going to work.

Console OS "Looks" promising on the outside - Dual boot or side-by-side, full play store support, written to handle ARM to x86 command conversion.... a very pretty looking picture! But after you start reading on the forums, they're focusing on Laptop/Tablet hybrid systems (think M$ Surface and the like) initially, with pre-built systems being focused on too, and they're also jumping to 5.0 just as fast as Cyanogen did, and basically dropping all work from their 4.4.x releases at the wayside too. Custom PCs are at the bottom of their list to worry about to boot, so they're out for now.

I'd be OK with a Virtualized install, if it was at least somewhat quick and had Play Store support.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION] you have to forgive me, this is my "bad week'm wwiting for doctor and meds. I feel really lousy so I will try to keep it short. When I tether on some setups like with Comcast, I had to go in Network and Sharing Center, Adapter Settings, and disable the Ethernet connection. Then the tether worked great. When you are already on a network with internet, even crappy internet, you get an IP address and DNS servers, usually from DNS automatically when you turn on the PC at work. Now you plug in tether and it sets you up with another internet access point. It will attempt to give an IP address and DNS as well. These things conflict and you might get dropouts, can't reach certain sites, etc. Disabling the Ethernet adapter allows the phone to run the show.

I also right click adapters, choose double click the adapter I want for properties, and then double click on IPv4 and choose "Use the following DNS Servers" and fill it in with Google Public DNS:

8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4

If I do the same with my Ethernet connection, I have less conflict issues. And while in the TCPv4 properties, I can specify my own static IP address on both adapters so they do not fight over the IP address. I don't know if you can do this at work. But if you use two internet sources, and they differ in IP address and DNS servers, you will have problems. Not sure what you can do about it at work though, unless you use the work IP address on the tether adapter and use Google Public DNS for both.

Else, disable one of the network adapters like Ethernet and allow the tether to take over. Screenshots attached.

Thanks for the Minecraft tips. I will try when feeling better. I do like really good 3D games though and Minecraft is at the Nintendo console level for graphics. Interesting, but it can get tedious and boring, not like shooting in Call of Duy or Battlefield like [MENTION=6293373]Haidersaleem[/MENTION] mentioned. Battlefield was great in the beginning and with the Desert Storm mod. I would play with my nephew and a headset and we would kick ass! You need a scout to spot enemy positions and then have artillery obliterate them. But that takes cooperation and my nephew was good at it with voice headset. Other players got stupid and would crash planes, not cooperate for a common goal, and you are playing every man for himself on teams!

Okay, I have to go buddy! :)

Thanks for doing some archiving for us Ohmster! A total win for the community. :highfive:

Also, you should make a slot and try AOKP if you feel to keep busy ;) .

Let's talk about some Xposed modules

:

These are some that I can suggest:

Alarm Clock Plus - I see Ohmster knows this one too. It tells you the time or whatever you want it to after you snooze and/or dismiss an alarm (can be different for snooze and dismiss).

Tinted Status Bar - I'm sure many know it. Tints your status and navigation bar to that of the program you are in - nice, sometimes can't get it right, but whatever, it works well enough.

XLED - Good program to use for managing your LED.

Statusbar download progress - shows a progress bar along the status bar for whatever notification is using a progress bar (download..). I love it, so nice to get quick info like this.

Xstana - Theme your status bar icons and your navigation bar icons. Working nicely. Handy if you have a theme that you don't like the icons of (Flattington dark needed this in my case).

Network Speed Indicator - shows your current network speed in the status bar (function is built into my ROM, so I'm not using it at the moment).

Hope you like my recommendations. :victory:

On another note, check my phones - all practically dead (and modded) except the RAZR..

[MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION] I'm wanting to work with my XT912 and giving AOKP a try. I see a few pages back you recommend giving it a try. Can you point out any install tips you might suggest? I'm currently still on ss 3.73 wondering if that's okay and also what gapps to pair up?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
What say [MENTION=5212827]dwh2o13[/MENTION]? Casper has an XT910 phone. The AOKP Android Open Kang Project rom that everyone likes is the Kit Kat rom by tony.d and you can find it here:

AOKP[4.4.4][Unofficial][Build from source]

Tony gives you links to all the files, he uses regular PA-GAPPS for it, these are the same gapps we use for CM11:

[GAPPS][4.4.x] OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE APPS (All ROM's)

He gives you the Installation instructions, very simple, same as cm11. He says to use the latest Safe Strap. V3.73 should be fine, I use that myself. So grab the rom you need, XT912, download the pa-gapps zip you want, something small is a good idea, like Mini-Modular, put both files on the phone. Boot to Safe Strap. Since you have not run this rom before, wipe dalvik, cache, SYSTEM, DATA, and Android Secure. Install in Safe Strap, navigate to the rom file. Tap "Add more zips" and navigate to the pa-gapps, then swipe to install. Allow to finish, boot up, and finish the startup wizard. There you go.

Everything you need to know and find is right on Tony's XDA page, post #1. Apparently this kid, Tony, is the ONLY one making a Kit Kat version of AOKP for Razr phones. The original AOKP is still running Jellybean! No, I am not running it, I am still using CM11 and very happy with my 11/07 build. But I did look into this, when I move CM11 to stock, I will install the AOKP to see how it is. This is the right one, no other AOKP Kit Kat roms out there that I can find. :D

NOTE: Since you are installing the rom for the first time, you will be wiping everything in that rom slot so if you need anything from it, get it before wiping out whatever system is running on that rom slot before wiping it. :)

Have fun man! :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dwh2o13:
Hey Ohmster,

Was hoping maybe you might jump in. Thanks so much for the information. I currently still have the 02-02 cm11 nightly in slot 1. Thinking seriously about whether or not it's backup worthy. I still have my 11/7 backup and know you speak highly of that nightly.

Since we're still on lock down on the DT, checking out AOKP on the xt912 should be fun. Everyone including me seems to be salivating over the possibility of root for the Turbo. I'll believe it when I see it though . In the meantime, guess I'll try out some AOKP.

Take care my friend and thanks again!
