That's a good alternative, but the purpose for the leash is to serve as counter weight. As by having a wii or Psmove strap is just for the wrist, meaning that it still has the weight on your hand. that might be useful to serve as security when someone is on the train or in a public area.
[Nook Color Accessories] motitas:
Nice, I made one but way shorter since I only use it for my wrist. I used the bead idea though since its nice to be able to tighten it.

[Nook Color Accessories] jonagpa:
I commented on your video but I will post it here too

great video, another thing you could do is have the bungee cord loop around the top right corner of the nook (like some of the cases do) and tighten the bungee cord. it would make a good back holding strap.

Hey guys,

need a bit help, well technically my friend does. hes on the market for a new phone and hes quite in love with my nexus one (im def not gonna sell it though! haha). The only concern is whether the nexus one is too old now. He loves the build quality of the nexus one but is worried if its money well spent. He found a mint tmo version for about 320, but at the same time hes wondering if he should just wait and jump to att to buy a atrix or even an iphone 4. So bias aside, is the nexus one still worthy of a 300+ price tag? honestly?

i know its googles baby but what if google does what apple did with their 1st gen iphone. what if 2.3 will be the last upgrade available before google end of lifes the n1.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
honestly does your friend give two craps if the nexus one gets an update or not? prob not. anyway my frient recently asked me the same thing, he loved my nexus one and was gonna buy one. he ended up not gettting anything but he was about to do it and found one near him on craigslist and all.

i dont think its a bad idea, i still think its the best phone out there i cant find one i like better yet which is why i keep mine. great build, awesome looking, color trackball, where else can that be found?
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
I wouldn't sell my phone or recommend a Nexus One to a friend knowing that the power button would certainly fail and the touchscreen will give them issues.

For those reasons i couldn't recommend this phone to anybody!
[Nexus One General] FishFan319:
I switched phones every month for a year, everything having some flaw. I've had this thing since June. No touchscreen issue, no power button issue. Pure Google, piece of art. Get it, keep it, love it.
[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
I just bought my 2nd one (the At&t version). I first bought one on the first day they released the ATT version, but then I sold it to switch carriers. I've been back on ATT for about 6 months now and I've missed my N1, so I just ordered another one from eBay.

I've had the Captivate and the Surround and I still want my N1 back.

It should be here today :D
[Nexus One General] elegos:
DirkGently1: if it was how you're saying, the N1 should have been dropped out the market long ago. I've got mine and got not a single problem (but the touch axis problem, which is not felt not playing on my phone).

I'd suggest the N1, because it doesn't cost like the Nexus S, but still is Google Experience. If only the Nexus S had been pumped up a little more, I'd think about it as my next phone, but dual cores are behind the corner, Nexus S will be overtaken very soon... but still I'd prefere a Nexus S 'cause it's GE.
[Nexus One General] Lythandra:
The N1 is a great phone and I still love mine BUT if I were in the market for a new phone right now I would wait till the dual cores comes out which should be very soon.
[Nexus One General] bambamboom:
its not high on his list but he would prefer something that isn't going to be neglected on updates.

like you guys stated, the dual cores is what hes worried about. with it being so close around the corner, would it be smart investing in year old (while advanced, its still a year old) tech? he just loves the design and quality of the nexus one but hes not sure if that is worth sacrificing the processer and other upgrades in different departments.

im just stuck on whether i should encourage him getting this phone, which is no doubt awesome but old, or wait it out. :confused:
[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
If he really likes the design and there's nothing else out there he wants, then I would say go for it for that price.

The way I look at it is if he can get a year out of it and be happy with it, then there will be better things out there a year from now anyway.
[Nexus One General] Namuna:
I've had my N1 since day-2 (had to wait for overnight shipping! :p ). It's more integrated into my life now, then when I first got it.

...But, I'm definitely starting to keep my eye out for the next thing. The N1 is already starting to show signs of being passed on from Google (ie the current delay on getting official Gingerbread to us!), whereas the Nexus S is the current poster-boy.

If your friend requires no-contract phone and ~$300 is his budget? Well, that's just about a no-brainer that the N1 is recommended.

Other than that, I'd tell them to hold until the Duals become a little more prevalent and then start looking... Who knows, maybe the Nexus Two with Dual-Core (get it, it's a Nexus TWO and it has TWO cores! :rolleyes:) will come out
[Nexus One General] Chahk:
I love my N1, but wouldn't pay $300 for it right now. It's nice to hear that the resale value is still up there (speaks volumes for HTC's build quality) but honestly, there are much better options out there right now.

If your friend is out of contract, he can pick up a G2 for free from T-Mobile with a 2-year contract. Other than the flimsy keyboard hinge, it beats the Nexus One in almost every category spec-wise. If you're worried about updates - G2 is just as unlockable and rootable as N1, with support from custom ROMs nowhere near stopping.

If your friend doesn't want a carrier-subsidized phone, then his best bet would be waiting a few months until the next generation of dual-core handsets start showing up en masse. Yes, they will be almost twice the price of a used N1 at that point, but that would be money well spent.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
Dual cores are fine and dandy, but I would not jump on the first available models.

Nobody knows how is the battery usage or is there are any other esotheric bugs introduced by the new SMP platform.
[Nexus One General] Chahk:
Good point. It's always a good idea to wait until the early adopters report in with issues. Power savings of dual-core processors is a fact on laptops and nettops, but yet remains to be proven on the mobile chip architectures. It's good to see manufacturers shipping larger batteries too (1930 mAh on Atrix), but only time will tell.
[Nexus One General] skunz35:
I bought a N1 right when it came out and loved it, then I got an hd2 and its the best phone I've ever had period, but the nexus one is definitely one amazing phone :)
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
Well, there is a concept of saving power by going multi-core and undervoting/underclocking at the same time. In theory you get more mips per watt.

But it has several relatively major ifs and buts.

First, you need to have something significant to process. The smartphone apps ten to be quite lean on processing anyway. Nobody uses their phones for prolonged number crunching sessions, the processing demand comes in short "spikes".

Second, those spikes should be parallelizable. Which is far from granted.

Third, you need to save more power than you burn on second chip. It is not only CPU itself, but also all this common glue logic around it which gets more complicated than in single core case.

Which altogether does not look like a sure deal to me. It can easily happen, that such dualcore device will greatly improve on video decoding battery life, but get even more miserable than usual standby times. Huge Attrix battery somehow does not look like a good sign to me.

In my opinion the hottest candidate for the second core would be a garbage collector. Which (if properly implemented) could dramatically improve the overall "smoothness" of the phone.

But something similar to the hyperthreading would do the trick too.
[Nexus One General] elegos:
As of N1: I bought it when my Magic was starting going slooooow on recent versions of Android. My Nexus One is still highly responsive, and this is what I personally need for my daily usage. And I love to program tools on it: the screen is not small nor too big, it's just "perfect".
[Nexus One General] hlwdim:
I think it depends on what you really want. In fact, I also thought the price of N1 is a little expense. But I still bought it since I really like it, no matter the appearance or the hardware configuration. For me, it's not too old, but your friend need make the decision by himself~~~
[Nexus One General] Chahk:
There is another feature of these new dual-core chips, is that one of the cores can be toggled on demand. No sense in burning both cores if you're just checking e-mail or syncing calendars/social statuses, but a resource-hungry media app or a 3D game for example would spin up that 2nd core.

I'm feeling the exact opposite. Manufacturers are starting to realize that people actually use their phones for longer periods of time, and no matter how power-efficient you make them, a larger battery is always a good idea.
[Nexus One General] b1337:
i dunno nexus vs g2 i take the nexus still, g2 is bulky and laggy compared to N1 plus with tzones/web2go its a no brainer... N1 son!
[Nexus One General] nazrin313:
Bought the desire hd a few months back but still im on my n1... dhd cant match the speed n pure google experience... luv the n1 sooo much i'll go so far as to say its the best phone i have ever owned...
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
I just bought one a few weeks past to replace my broken one. I got it plus the official dock, a usb dock and several cases for £250. A steal and it's still one great phone :)
[Nexus One General] pakraider:
don't get me wrong, the N1 is a great phone, but let's be honest--it's not quite a silky smooth UI experience. Things get choppy, especially the browser. A newer Android phone would probably give a better overall experience for the average user.
[Nexus One General] johng75:
I haven't seen them here on xda yet, but check out htcpedia...last week they had leaked images of new htc phones...very very hot! One looked like an n1 mini, another looked like a solid black n1...

http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-leaks-continue-mini-nexus-mid-range-android.html
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
It is not only the core itself, the common glue logic around it gets more complicated and potentially power hungry too. The question is how much and if it can be compensated by the potential dual core power savings.
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
Good to hear that cuz I have the same feeling about my n1. Whatever phones I got before I just wanna sold it right about 2 weeks I got it. But I've been keeping my n1 for a year and I just have a connection with it. Even though lots of new phones have been out and dual cores are just nowhere any farther. I'm considering buying a new phone but theres just something about the n1 makes me wanna keep it forever. The g2 on the other hand isn't a bad one either. My wife got one and she loves it, I love it too. Don't even under look the 800 mhz. It's a lot of power with that chip clocked at that number. I'd say you suggest your friend to wait for a dual core before h1 he falls in love with the n1 like we do.
[Nexus One General] SoyoBro:
My Nexus One is still alive and kicking. Been around the world with it too, and it's been awesome.

Nexus S looks really nice though. Specially with all this Honeycomb buzz.
[Nexus One General] Tiberx:
My nexus has been great, but there is some good things and bad things about the phone. Over has great support for the phone.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Get it before the deal is gone. The mod/flash fun will begin and you won't look back!
[Nexus One General] Basil 123:
Whatever you get - it will be less than cutting-edge in 6 months.

The N1 is a fine proven phone, with oodles of mods.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/lg-optimus-2x-en.shtml

No idea if this qualifies as "hot news".

But it is still interesting to see, that Tegra consumes roughly the same amount of energy as Samsung Hummingbird found in galaxy S. That is good news :)
[Nexus One General] ROM_Guest:
I think its still worth it. Heres my example:

When I first got my N1 (my first android), I heard a lot after the purchase about the Galaxy S, its popularity, screensize and AMOLED. I actually put my N1 on the market to sell to get the Galaxy S instead.

Glad I didn't sell my N1. I tried the Galaxy S for the first time in hand last week, after a friend bought his first android (upon my recommendation). The touchwiz is really that bad (not sure about Roms though), and it actually *did* feel that plastic'y as people say.

Just watching my N1 screen off with GB effects after that, and appreciating the scrolling program list, told me it really is a good phone.

(That said, yes its Touchscreen is not the best, and you might want to consider the New Nexus S because of this. Just remember to try out the phone in hand before you sell your current phone on the market ;) )
[Nexus One General] darkninja157:
For me personally I wouldn't trade my nexus one for any current market offerings. But with upcoming phones, I really can't recommend it either. As in, if I didn't have my nexus one and needed a phone today I would not buy it. More than likely I would buy a cheap pre-paid phone throw my sim in it and wait for the new phones :p .

Right now is a very tough time to think about getting a phone. While the current selection of phones available is pretty good, realistically they are only slight upgrades from the nexus one. The upcoming models from CES and soon to be announced ones at MWC are looking/going to be pretty sweet and definite steps up. And in my opinion those phones are going to give your friend more longevity and bang for his buck than buying the nexus which is finally starting to fall behind the times technology wise.

But if he doesn't need to be on the cutting edge of technology, the nexus one is still a very capable phone. And luckily it seems like the devs are still putting out good roms so if he is cool with rooting (which everyone should on an android phone) the phone will not let you down.

CFS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_Fair_Scheduler

SVS - no idea

HAVS (Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scaling) What this does is provide SUPERIOR BATTERY

Really? Anyone else use these kernels? Whats the risk, is it risky like flashing a Radio?

No, only thing is some undervolted kennels might not be stable so always nandroid before changing kernel.

AOSP Kernel for SENSE ROM?

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#Kernel

here's a link with "all" neccesary informations ;)

--------------------------------------------------------------

i would like to add a new question in this thread:

is it possible to use an AOSP Kernel like: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893484

with my SENSE-ROM ? (currently using ReflexTSense http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=791315 )

thx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
No, at least I know that way. You have to use a Sense kernel with a sense ROM, like this to run without problems.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klefreak:
so there's no option to use newer Kernels with Sense-ROM's ..

thx for the information
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koenvbeek:
Sorry to break into your thread, but does it work the other way round? I mean, is it possible to use a Sense kernel with an AOSP rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klefreak:
sense with asop and the other way

i tride som ASOP Kernel with my SensHD Rom and it worked "booting

i found a flickerning screen but it worked; i refalashed a sense kernel

i think that the other "Way" should also work with some "issues"

greetings..

ps: i somewhere on thos forum found a discussion between two ROM-Programmers about using ASOP Kernel in Sense roms.

As far as i remember they both found the conclusion that sense-kernel are using differetn Graphicdrivers so that a asop kernel never will run "full" with a sense-rom but the ASOP Kernel COULD be modded in "future"
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jentzschman2000:
I have been searching but unable to really find any good information on this. I will add I have never used a alternative launcher b4, so that is new to me.

First off, why does CM7 use ADW vs Launcher pro or stock gingerbread launcher?

Second, which launcher is "best" with CM7? Stock gingerbread, adw ex, or LPP (I know people will say adw since it comes with cm7, but humor me) I know it will vary by person, but just looking for some feedback and ideas from those who have used these b4. (I know people will also say to just try em, but I like to get feedback first. Call me crazy/weird; I know, its true)

EDIT: I cant even find LPP in market?

Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I have the paid version of AWD EX and the paid version of Launcher Pro.

Personally i like AWD EX alot better. I feel it is smoother, quicker, easier to use and customize.

THE only two things i like about Launcher Pro is the sliding Dock bar and the calendar widget. That's it. Everything else in my book is sub standard. I've also been using the Zeam Launcher alot and i like it. It's very simple easy to use and pretty darn snappy.

the gingerbread launcher... i tried the one from the market and didn't like it at all. no external options at all.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captrobb:
I have used all 3 for quite some time on varying platforms and each have their own pro's and con's.

Stock: Have never really cared for any of the stock launchers. Nothing in particular wrong with them, but it's kinda like eating a plain bagel...you know it could be better if...

ADW EX: I've used both ADW and ADW EX and found them both to be very nice launchers. Broader spectrum of Visually pleasing accents and widgets and in place of stock bring a flavor that is very appealing and customizable...

LPP: Current launcher because of all previous statements and then some. Very, very customizable and user friendly. Takes everything the stock launcher and ADW variations can do and then some.

I must say that I have been very partial to sense ui and LPP gets me as close to that interface as possible with lots of more optimaizations and such.

Once rooted, the sky is the limit!:eek:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anoniem100:
Simply change the splash screen of your phone.

Requirements:

- At this time only phone's with a resolution of 480x800 will do.

- Remember, in order to flash custom splash screens, you must have s-off which can be obtained using alpharev.

- Before you click the "Push to Phone" button, make sure your device has the USB Debugging feature enabled.

(Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging)

How the magic works:

- This tool will first convert your selected image to the appropriate file format (splash1.img).

- It will then try to reboot your phone using ADB (Command used: adb.exe reboot bootloader).

- While rebooting your phone this tool will start a fastboot session (fastboot.exe flash splash1 splash1.img)

- If the phone is rebooted into the bootloader, it will execute the actual flashing process

- After flashing this tool will reboot your phone once again to finish the whole process (fastboot.exe reboot)

Version history:

1.0 - Initial release

***I take no responsibility for any damage you cause by using this tool. It is for educational purposes only.

Placeholder for the future, you never know...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gjole86:
where is this image located? i wanna do it for my custom rom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tsukasa21:
Hi,

How does it work ?

When I click "Push to Phone", it say "Please wait while your phone is rebooting" during about 1 second and nothing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anoniem100:
Cool question!

Behind the scenes of this tool I'm doing some fancy conversions to the image.

This results in a flash-able file called splash1.img.

This image is then flashed to splash1 with the command: fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img.

Thing you have to do is create the file splash1.img and incorporate the flashing procedure into your update script.

I don't have any experience in that procedure, but going to try it out.

It should work, others have done this before.

Will be back for this one ;)

For now, take a look at this thread.

It should make some things clear for you I think.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anoniem100:
Do you have S-OFF?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tsukasa21:
Yes I have S-OFF. I'm trying to restore my splash screen to the original one (I'm currently having the alpharev joker)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] specialized8:
It works!! finally i can get rid of the joker!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dneto:
Amazing.

Just suggest reduce a little bit the Window. :D The button isn't showed in 1280x800 correctly :D

And please, add the information about, WHEN click on PUSH TO PHONE (HBOOT,FASTBOOT,Charge Only with debug...)

Regards and thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Vivasanti:
This is in the General section so does it work with OTHER phones, my screen res isnt the one specified, do i still need S OFF or is that for HTC phones?

If it doesnt work for any other phones can we get it moved to the HTC section?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anoniem100:
It will work for other phones as well, as long as the resolution is 480x800 (for now) and you have S-OFF.

Will be working on compatibility for other resolution soon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anoniem100:
Totally agree on the big window size, will adjust it to a more appropriate size in the next release.

For the extra prerequisite info... working on it now
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anoniem100:
Looking again into the compatibility it indeed seems to only work on HTC devices.

Seems like S-Off is a htc thing.

Hope someone with a galaxy S phone can test this, don't know if flashing is a problem.

If that's the case I would have to take a different approach.

My aim is to make it device independent.

Haha, Tnx for the nice reply, makes me happy :)

People around me are calling me stupid, not adding a donate button to my apps.
