Man, it is good to see all these familiar names again!
It's like a family reunion without the weird drunk uncle.

So Frisco must not be around anymore then
Hello Eris users (and former Eris users ). I just thought I'd drop in to make my 10,000th post here where I started at Android Forums.
Found my Eris' new purpose after a full year of not using it as my phone. Its now my dash cam. Flashed a Gingerbread ROM, installed Dailyroads, stripped a lot of unnecessary apps like Gmail, Calendar and such.
Recorded for a near hour straight without any problem. A little low res, being only 320 x 240, but oh well. I'm not complaining, and if anything that means a whole hour of video with audio at about 15 fps only takes 150 MB.
Amazon.com: Arkon Weighted Friction Dash Mount for Universal Phone, Smartphone and PDA-Black: Cell Phones & AccessoriesThat's a great idea, Demache!
What did you use to mount it?
I think that is the best use for a retired Eris I have seen yet! Cool video, thank you for sharing!

Here, have a tree trimmer doing a martial arts pose.
I think the lens was a little dirty, so it looks a little hazy. I also need to position the phone better so don't see the mounting arm and see less wiper.
I just hope that you don't record any meteorites smashing into the ground nearby.
Unfortunately, I'm not Russian so my drives won't be nearly as eventful.
Also does Android Forums look incredibly messed up for anyone else? It seems like the style sheet or something got really corrupted, and my Avast keeps blocking a url on this page from "creditgif.com" or something like that.
I checked it in IE10 so its not just Firefox anyway.

Hmm, seems to be normal now.Russian roads from a dashcam's point of view - video | World news | guardian.co.uk
Just showed up like that for me too. Just now. Weird. Running Firefox on Mint
Yeah, I used to like that kind of video. The funny ones I like, but serious injury and death in videos makes me sad. Ever since I started working in an E.R. and actually seeing those people and their families, it's "too real".
I don't even like seeing the video of the cows spilling out of the truck anymore.
But I do love steak!
I love the dash cam idea!!
