Unforgiven

Morning all, back after another busy weekend.

Congrats on the new apartment Stigy! We've been strongly considering moving. Problem is, since we first started renting this apartment, almost 4 years now, DC rents have gone up so much more. Also, we love our neighborhood and there isn't a ton for rent around here that is in our price range. Plus our place is SO tiny, but since we're not here much, it isn't a big deal.

It's just very frustrating living around my area besides taking public transportation and we both drive due to the traffic of the Lincoln Tunnel and just the amount of people in the area.

It takes my girlfriend 45 minutes to get to work where it should only take 15-20 minutes at the most. I have to add 30 minutes onto a commute anywhere I go that involves going near the tunnel and the roads are horrible and congestion is just getting worse. Plus all of our friends live near where we are moving now and we barely see them as it is so it'd be real awesome to start hanging out with them again and not having to worry about the 30 minute drive home after.

Like the chief, I'm newly rooted.

Should you do a backup before downloading these updates?

breadnatty08

Yikes. Yeah, DC traffic isn't as bad as NYC, but it's still pretty bad. Especially if you're coming from the suburbs. I've seen the rush hour traffic coming from VA and I just shake my head at those people. What a way to waste your life.
I take the bus to work, and while some nights I have to wait a bit, it's still pretty good.

breadnatty08

I would always recommend a Nandroid backup! Every time you change ROMs (and if you don't frequently, I'd do it once a week) it's important. If you don't like the new ROM, or something is broken, it's a cinch to go back to where you started. Perhaps the best part about rooting.

Looks like Roman's posted AOKP 38 changelog

Build 38 - Releases - Releases - News

Submitted roman, Today, 05:10 AM | Last updated Today, 05:10 AM



Change log:

• reworked lockscreen music layout to be cleaner
• fix ugly gradient on dark holo background

• Browser: added option to close all other tabs (besides current)

• as always, tons of fixes for devices and other backend fixes!

Remember: builds are considered "nightlies"!

Congrats on the apartment Stig! Hope everyone had a good weekend! Glad to be back among the living this week, lol

Ugh, alright adjuster, you got me switching back to AOKP. Downloading now.
Oh, and looks like they have an official release for my Prime. Perhaps I'll finally root it this weekend!

RazorSharp

New AOKP boot animation huh? Anyone with b38 feel like describing it?

At the chief's request, the new animation has TWO unicorns on boot.

My kid was rooting through my phone, and said what is "unicorn porn" which i assume is the boot animation.

breadnatty08

^ Bahahaaha! I'm still trying to DL B38, taking forever. Ready to flash and see what this "unicorn porn" is all about.

RazorSharp

So... who's going to get the 15,000th post?

breadnatty08

Snap, didn't realize we were getting so close. Well, I'm off to work in a few so it won't be me. To the best man (or BB/Dawnierae)!

Unforgiven

Whoah, now I have to pay attention so I don't steal BB's spotlight.

Stigy

The new boot animation in AOKP b38 is better than the previous ones in my opinion. The unicorn is still there, but smaller. I honestly don't mind it.

The scrollable widgets thing is amazing. They do great work!

breadnatty08

Missed my chance to get it downloaded before work. I often have problems downloading large files through Chrome and have to switch to Firefox. Anyone know why that is?

breadnatty08

Alright, I know I'm late to the game on this but Tapatalk is great for mobile use.

AntimonyER

Haha, yes it is. I will be honest, I use it even more now that I am a guide. Being able to see the first part of a post without having to click through is a very valuable tool.

I'll still use the browser version for my PC but this is great on my Nexus. Is there a way to sync your favorites to Tapatalk?

AntimonyER

Should be automatic.

Unforgiven

Your subscribed forums will show up under favorites (I think) but your Favorite forums in the box on the left of the homepage don't sync.

Subscribed threads are automatic, and you can use the Participated tab to see all of the threads you have posted in. That is what I use most often.

The_Chief

Adjuster, that's the #1 reason to root: making nandroid backups of your phone's entire current state before doing ANYTHING fancy to it.

YES make a backup before flashing or upgrading a ROM.

YES make a backup at least weekly as a maintenance thing.

YES if you DON'T make backups I will come through your screen and personally scare you half to death!

Is anyone else hooked on Cut the Rope like I am??

halon

Today starts 2nd shift, 3pm-11pm. Ugh.

Unforgiven

I like Cut the Rope, but I am currently hooked on CrossMe.

The_Chief

Okay, so how do I do #12? I have yet to find a way to open the Play store and cancel updates/restores... #14 is a non-issue, since I just bought AOKP Backup

Stigy

Play Store > Overflow Menu Button > My Apps

Then there should be a cancel button on the right side - mine usually says "Cancel 150" ish - let me know if you can't find it.

It's the same button when you have multiple updates that says "Update 4" above your list.

MSUgEEk

I feel for ya man. I just got off that 7pm-7am shift. sucks!

The_Chief

Well folks, I've decided to hold off on flashing b38.

It seems to me that the safest way to do it is a clean install... and while I have my apps & app data and settings & all backed up, I do NOT feel like moving ALL my pictures, ALL my videos, ALL my movies back over from the PC every time an incremental update comes out.

I guess I'll just chill here on b37 until a stable final version comes out and flash it

AndroiDad75

Chief,

You shouldn't have to move your pictures, videos, movies after a full wipe. I have never had to do this, and I have done a full wipe quite a few times.

Correct. A factory reset/data wipe in Clockword recovery does not touch the SD card partition of the internal memory. I have wiped numerous times and my pictures, videos and songs are still there every time.

Just an FYI Chief.

Also I flashed b38 dirty over b37 and haven't run into any issues.

The_Chief

Sorry folks, had a Gulf War moment there

That's a good thing, then...

EDIT: So to clarify, wiping data/factory reset in Clockwork ONLY wipes system data, not USER data. A factory reset in Settings wipes EVERYTHING.

So once everything is backed up, all I have to wipe is data/system/cache/Dalvik?

EDIT EDIT: Done. Dirty flashed and everything is coming up roses

I don't know how those NOVA folks do it. I drive on I-95 every day, and it sometimes takes me an hour (when it should only take 30 minutes) and it drives me insane. I can't imagine REAL traffic, and I don't want to even try.

not me, I'm getting the Nexus 7 or whatever it will be called the minute it is released.

RazorSharp

Can't tell if you're joking. Is that a real phone?

jmar

No way Jose!

I do benefit from living in the Bay Area so I have great service. Even if I didn't, I wouldn't get it. While I would love the 2GB RAM, that's the only spec that trumps Ginny Nex.

My son is ready to ditch his Nexus.

His plan:

(a) Buy the Galaxy S3 at full retail when it hits the store.
(b) Activate it on Verizon.
(c) Sell his Nexus and recoup as much money as he can.

Well, sounds good if you actually HAVE to have that phone. I can wait for the NEXT round of flagships

ajdroidx

I'm going to wait to make sure the radio ain't gimped first

The_Chief

I just held up my son's Nexus and my Nexus together, side by side, exact same position in the house. He has -97 dbm on 4.0.2. I have -75 dbm on AOKP b38.

Unforgiven

No, I'm not joking, but it is not a phone. It is the first Nexus tablet. Goog is going to announce it in the coming weeks. I'm locked into the GNex for another year or so, so that is my next Android device.

jmar

Me, too!

halon

If you pre order the SIII through Verizon you can keep your unlimited data plan, even subsidized.

BabyBlues

Hi all! Sorry I missed all the fun today. Drove home from visiting family in Virginia and then had to catch up on home happenings and unpack.

Morning everyone! After my long night of work I was looking forward to sleeping in as it's my day off today. Somehow, the building's fire alarm went off (not our apartment, the whole building). That sucker is LOUD. Took the fire department a good 15 min to get here and shut it off. So I guess I'll get up and start the coffee.
Wife is still sleeping like a brick though.

On the plus side, HTC just emailed me saying they fixed my Flyer and it's out to be shipped. That's about a 6 day turn around. I don't know about you, but that's some damn good customer service! Excited to get it back and see what the HC upgrade looks like. It bricked before it was officially released.

breadnatty08

Is there a quick and easy way to see what of your posts have been thanked? I know we get the notifications for liked posts, just curious to see which ones I've been helpful in?

AntimonyER

You could have just said unpack, and we would have given you a 24 hour pass j/k. Glad you made it home safe!

Good Morning all. Got my replacement Zagg installed last night, perfect installation, which is good. I am always afraid a piece of dust will get in between, and it will drive me nuts.
