Ditto, accept I don't use a site to generate my personal ones, but I do use this site to check them: How Secure Is My Password?

Edit: THere was a site that I used to generate them for clients, but I can't locate the link atm.

Does anyone know what happened to Jerry? Is he alright? It's been more then a month since his last post here, and that was his latest post on any forum.

brotherswing · July 10th, 2012, 01:20 AM

Alien clowns ate him.

benslgdroid · July 10th, 2012, 12:11 PM

He's posted YouTube videos since then so I would assume he's doing ok just not developing anymore

Please read the following articles:

I've been passing this article on for the last 5 years, and there are evidently still misconceptions regarding WiFi network security today. WPA/WPA2 with a strong password is the only proven secured protection--still hackable via brute force BTW. I personally use WPA2-AES keys that are 63 random printable ASCII characters, which I change at least twice a year, generated via:

Well, i got a few things to change when I get home, thanks for the info, i appreciate it.

But I'm not sure it's exactly off-topic. I asked a question regarding Wifi issues I'm having and someone responded that someone may be stealing my bandwith...

I couldn't take the silence anymore so I decided to try out the Quattrimus ICS rom. Wow! Really nice. I've been using it as my primary os and I love it. If you haven't seen it, take a look here [ROM][BETA] Quattrimus ICS - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

Speaking of off topic ^^^
Jerryscript was working on his own ICS ROM.....maybe a JB ROM now....

Maybe both

Thewraith420 · July 12th, 2012, 05:36 PM

I know I'd love to see a backside cm9 edition. I remember he was working on one. I'm just not sure we'll hear from him anymore.

brotherswing · July 12th, 2012, 06:37 PM

I actually got to test an early alpha of it. I miss the action here.

Yea....it all moved to AC.

brotherswing · July 13th, 2012, 09:19 AM

I was never all that active there. It just feels like over the past two months or so the OV community has splintered, and at least half have moved on to other phones. I admit I suffer from phone envy. I'd like a more powerful handset, but I know I'll have to content myself with the OV for the next several years.

drew_t · July 13th, 2012, 04:41 PM

For I think the first time since putting the Backside ROM on my phone, I just tried to move some stuff off the phone's SD card by using the USB cable to connect the phone to my desktop computer. This previously would trigger a process wherein I could choose to have the computer "see" the phone as a storage device. But now, nothing happens except the phone indicates it is charging. Do I need to change some setting to restore this functionality? Or do we lose it altogether with this ROM?

EDIT: never mind. Installed the driver linked in the "Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM" thread and now it works.

benslgdroid · July 25th, 2012, 10:00 PM

Jerry uploaded a video today for those worried about him
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0swAGrc_4xU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I think he's just stopped development.

AndyOpie150 · July 25th, 2012, 10:50 PM

All the long hours he has put into this ROM since July of last year is deserving of a break.

Everyone needs a break now and then....I need a break, I've gone from porting to making bootanimations to fixing borked firmware to making unbrick guides to flashing ZVJ onto our phones (not the same as the flashable nitestalkr made) and now.

brotherswing · July 26th, 2012, 10:46 AM

I went from lurking to making themes, then making a website, now I'm cooking up roms! (Different handset, sorry...)

Gratz. I'd like to make themes but i'm not very creative.

nightspd · July 28th, 2012, 12:47 AM

Hi guys:

Do you know if it's possible to disable the green/blue BACKside boot animation where the android is bending over. I have my boot animations disabled but that one I still get. Makes booting my phone very slow after the IHO icon.

benslgdroid · July 28th, 2012, 01:05 AM

It's first boot which can be replaced not disabled. The instructions are a bit back in the thread.

brotherswing · July 28th, 2012, 08:52 AM

Ben's right. The first animation in embeded in the kernel. The easiest way around that is to flash a different kernel. I would recommend mgr666's kernel, it's wicked fast.

Tossici · July 31st, 2012, 07:48 AM

You can also just flash his ROM (MiRaGe CM7.2). I flashed the 7/16 release. You may want to skip the 7/27 because they were testing some changes that I think affected performance and will not be "defaults" in the next release.

I did a clean install and it works great. CPU is 122min and 806max using the interactive governer as recommended by mgr666 and it's really been great.

DarthScruff · August 7th, 2012, 08:26 PM

Soooooooo I was wondering, what happened to talk to text?? Its completely gone on my virtual keyboard haha, something I thought would be cool. Didn't notice til I thought about using it and its gone :/

benslgdroid · August 7th, 2012, 08:36 PM

Make sure you have gapps installed and voice search

I figured it out haha, it was voice search, I read google voice somewhere else and installed it and it didn't fix the issue so I figured it had to have been a keyboard issue. Though I did stumble onto a forum saying "google voice 'search'" and then it dawned on me hahaha. Though I have had an issue with gapps forceclosing recently, might be an overclock issue, though I was thinking, why would gapps crash but not final fantasy 3 which I would assume would take alot more CPU to run...

benslgdroid · August 7th, 2012, 11:09 PM

I would try a different govern

DarthScruff · August 9th, 2012, 04:06 PM

What govern would you recommend? I like the speediness i have currently, but force closing is always lame haha

Also, since installing voice search my keyboard doesn't do vertical, it stays in landscape and only half of the keyboard is on the screen :d

benslgdroid · August 9th, 2012, 07:54 PM

I've always used in demand and it never failed me

DarthScruff · August 9th, 2012, 08:08 PM

yeah, I've always had it on ondemand too. Any idea about the keyboard issue?

cammykool · August 10th, 2012, 09:37 AM

i reailly dont wanna see this phone die ;(

I don't. I would uninstall then reinstall it

Why I didn't like it when I bricked my OV and wanted something to replace it.

simonsimons34 · August 10th, 2012, 10:40 PM

Little update to Virgin mobile users. I managed to get a patch to the cm base accepted. VM MMS is now gonna work with a build clean from source

This should be in it's own thread

fieryfennix · August 12th, 2012, 03:21 PM

Forgive my ignorance, laziness actually, since this forum is difficult and slow to navigate since my laptop died. Anyhow, is this ROM dead? I've seen no new updates in months...

It hasn't been updated since May 2nd, 2012. JerryScript has been inactive pretty much since then. Whether it is dead or not, idk. It might be a zombie soon if Jerry comes back.

I don't understand "difficult and slow to navigate" . I don't have a pc or laptop and i became a junior member in November 2011.

I was a total noob when it comes to smartphones and computers ,still a noob with computers, but what i'm trying to say is ,this was the first forum i had ever been on in my l life of 54 years. I had no problem whatsoever navigating and searching this forum with my OpV running on 3g.

I think this is the best forum with the most friendly and knowledgeable people going, and since getting a smartphone i've been on many.

Since being on this forum i have learned so much, like rooting, custom recovery and flashing custom roms to my phone.

As for this rom,its been my daily driver for the last 4 months. Everything works great on this rom, Jerry put alot of time and effort into this and deserves, i think a much needed break!

AndyOpie150 · August 12th, 2012, 05:05 PM

Maybe they meant to say their phone was slow and hard to respond.

badblue1 · August 12th, 2012, 05:26 PM

@fieryfennix...
Sorry if i took your post the wrong way!
My apologies!
BAD DAY!

AndyOpie150 · August 12th, 2012, 05:41 PM

We all have bad days. I did the other day, must have, it was totally out of character for me.

There's entirely too many variables here to make such a comparison. For example, I've always perused forums from my self built gaming PC on a decent sized flat-panel widescreen monitor. Going from that to trying to navigate a forum on a tiny ass mobile cell phone screen with my eyesight... wasn't happening.

In a nutshell; what may be easy for you may not be easy for another. Everyone is different regardless if you use the same phone.

brotherswing · August 13th, 2012, 09:33 AM

And for the record, any rom that works this well could hardly be called dead. Aside from the browser security flaw (shared by any GB stock browser) all Jerry had been doing was giving us more toys. He had already worked out all the bugs...

Not all of them, there's still minor issues...the same issues are in my port for OM :-/

AndyOpie150 · August 13th, 2012, 04:56 PM

I thought that the 01312012 build was the best as far as everything working.
I just checked, it can still be downloaded. All the ones after it can probably still be downloaded as well.
Just go to the post with the corresponding date for the build you want.

fieryfennix · August 13th, 2012, 08:58 PM

Ok, wow, didn't mean to cause a ruckus. I just meant has the development/debugging/updates ceased. And by "pain to navigate", I meant just slower and more tedious to search through the pages in the forums on my cell. Want trying to insult/upset anyone, especially Jerry. Been running this for a long time now and couldn't be happier.

brotherswing · August 15th, 2012, 12:21 AM

I actually thought your question was reasonable. BACKside is more than a rom. It's a community. That community won't die even long after the OV is a nostalgic memento in a junk drawer.

benslgdroid · August 15th, 2012, 01:44 AM

Mines currently in a drawer

Will be resurrected for my next theme when I get rid of this migraine
