Svt, do you need to buy any bands or weights with the insanity program?

 

[blkbeltkid17]

that android as we know it will die is a bunch of bs ... yes i see a good sizable shift from flash based to HTML browsing but saying that the Linux quality will change the openness and all that makes me hot under the color sorry had to get that out

Sorry if posted already.


I won't play pretty much most games on a phone because your thumb slides all oever the place and I'm tired I've missing the other "buttons".

The following will change my tune. BTW, it is pictured with a Nexus

Just got the TPU case how do I know if it's the v2? My volume down button seems too easy to press not the volume up though. Cool case what a steal for the dough!

The newest revision has the volume rocker uncovered.

anyone found a case MADE for the extended battery not one that will just fit?

What's the difference?

 

[lovebyte21]

i can hear(sp) it but i have no video

Hmm, I'm not sure why. I'm on my work PC which runs through a firewall and I'm getting both video and audio. So far the emphasis is on their Smart TVs.

What's the difference?

the way the back is cut on fitting cases means it stretching because the back is not concave in like with the normal battery and the extended battery it is a flat back

and yeah i can here that... i am also on a mac at my school library so i d k if has all the plugings lol

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

21 hours of talk time on the new Razr Maxx...might be enough to give that a try...just sayin!

Good to know since I'm getting the rev 3. From what others have posted here before, the rev 2 was just a little thinner over the volume buttons.

Rally so it's completely cut out? Arggh oh well I'll stick with this for a bit it was so cheap.

Edit: can't use it volume pushes down without me touching it. I'll try the cutout method!

Since you specifically bought the rev 2, I'd bet if you e-mailed the retailer they would send you out a replacement also.

 

[MSUgEEk]

Svt, do you need to buy any bands or weights with the insanity program?

Nope, that's what I loved about it. No bands or anything required. Everything is done using only your own body weight.

Can someone quickly tell me the difference between

this - [BOOTANIMATION][DEC 27] Original Nexus 720p - xda-developers

and this? [BOOTANIMATION][JAN 03] Optimized ics boot animation - New High Quality Images - xda-developers

Can the Jan 3 animation in the latter link be used with the stock ROM? Thanks.

Also, can the ones in this thread be used with the stock ROM?

Uh.. and, actually.. how do you install these?

I'm not a player, but had to see what all the Skyrim chatter was about. And then..."Disco Inferno" started playing. Absolutely hysterical. Could not stop laughing. That was a joke, right?

Most of the ones I've seen say what they can be used with. Or what they definitely won't work with. I was able to flash mine from the SD cars to install. A couple pages back I think Han might have gone over installing. Maybe. (My poor brain cells are exhausted so I wouldn't swear to it).

Emailed them tonight thanks. They are closed till CES end, Jan 16 just in case anyone needs to get a replacement.

So, you just download it to the phone and you can flash it from CWM? It can't be that easy, can it? Haha.

[Boot Animations] Boot Animations for Galaxy Nexus ~ Updated 01/07/12 - RootzWiki

I believe the Jan 3 one is visually tweaked (I'm using it). Any of the bootanimations should work without flashing. Just open the zip, look in the data file and extract just the bootanimation.zip file. You can then transfer it to the phone, and put it in either /data/local or /system/media. The rom's normally have it in /system/media but if you put it in /data/local it will look there first. It has to be named bootanimation.zip.

[Boot Animations] Boot Animations for Galaxy Nexus ~ Updated 01/07/12 - RootzWiki

Those are 2 different boot animations. The first link is the older Nexus boot ani and the 2nd one the new ICS galaxy boot ani that you have now, but enhanced resolution and deeper blacks. They should both work on 4.0.2 iirc.

You could try, just flash in CWM and reboot and see if it shows up.

Both are zips and can be flashed in CWM.

Ahhh, okay, that helps, thanks! The first one is what I was looking for.

So how do I go about installing it? I just download the zip to my phone? Then what? I'm not really sure what "flash in CWM" means, hahaha.

they are flashable .zip files that you install in clockwork mod recovery (CWM).

However, I prefer to put them in the appropriate file location myself....using root explorer on the phone just move/copy only the bootanimation.zip file into /data/local (after extracting that file from the flashable .zip in the links above....its located in the data file when you open the zip)

So I need to learn to never pass up on an opportunity to try and pitch an idea. Last year for my Senior Project, my group designed an application for a smart fridge that would scan the barcodes of your groceries and store inventory in a database for grocery shopping and recipes. More details here: SKIM Systems | System & SKIM Systems | Media

Well today this was unveiled at CES: LG unveils new smart fridge with Blast Chiller to keep your wine cool | Stuff magazine

The smart fridge also has plenty of other features to help manage your life. Smart Manager lets you scan your groceries' barcodes and track the expiry dates of your food – as well as recommending recipes based on the available ingredients.

So does the AOKP rom work with google wallet? Still trying to decide what I want to do with loading a ROM.
