Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Han, I'm with you. For being on stock Android for the past couple years on various devices, LG's interface is nice and fresh. Some of it is terrible, but a lot is useful.
I'm running CleanROM which is essentially a debloated stock ROM. It's been a little sluggish lately so I may look into Maladus tomorrow.
Great thing is the LG camera software is available to install if you want to go AOSP and not deal with the crap stock Android camera app.

Hmm. Is Maladus a stock-ish rom?

Yes, it is.

But honestly, when I got the thread notice and before I saw the link, I was expecting a post about Han and Android.

Believe so. Looking to maybe flash it tomorrow:
[ROM] Malladus 1.2.1 - 11/08/2013 [JB 4.2.2] - xda-developers

Just a little painful. LG stock based ROMs are MASSIVE in size. Getting concerned about on board storage. Keep only 1 nandroid on my phone vs. many on the Gnex because they were so much smaller.

Anyone loaded the Google Experience Launcher? I keep having the keyboard pop up everytime I hit the home button after installing it.

Yep, same issue.

Brilliant. Want it. Pricey @ $55. What about my cards that have chips built-in? Probably unusable within Coin. Their website has nothing more than the video.

I've been playing videogames since the Intelevision came out. I attended my first midnight launch tonight for the PS4. It wasn't that exciting, but I have my PS4.

How do you feel about the sudden EULA change about used games?

Also for a Verizon 4g phone do I still need to check the esn?

breadnatty08 · Nov 15, 2013

Why would you check the ESN? Are you looking to buy a used phone?

TJGoSurf · Nov 15, 2013

I stumbled upon a good note 2 for a great price

You can verify an ESN on Swappa:

I felt the same way... until I read that the battery will only last about 2 years. There is no way I can justify spending 100 (or 50 if I were to get in as an early backer) for something that'll only last a max of two years and will only hold 8 cards.

The_Chief · Nov 15, 2013

Yeah, I read that 2 year thing last night. Does it in for me. Until there is a way to recharge that thing at home and own it forever, can I justify the expense?

I think not.

Now the little dude on my OTHER shoulder says "hey, you spend hundreds on a new cell phone every two years and when you sell it you never get that money back out of it!"

True dat, little dude, but I want and NEED a cell phone that does what this one does, and no other device can do what it does. Coin allows me to leave my real cards safely at home... but I could still use the real cards if I had to. I am renting convenience with a Coin.

"Yeah, but they'll likely have a discounted trade-in program 2 years from now so future Coins won't have that huge initial cost! Sort of like what Tile is doing!"

A distinct possibility... and even a likelihood. But not a done deal.

"Okay, so this isn't an 'I NEED THIS' device... it's a heck of an 'I WANT THIS' device, though! Don't you have some money left in the phone fund?"

You know, Little Dude is swaying me back to pre-ordering it!

EDIT: Darling Bride will choke me, I know. But I pre-ordered it

halon · Nov 15, 2013

I checked out COIN last night and ordered it right away.

Stigy · Nov 15, 2013

My only thing with COIN is the battery situation - if they did some sort of trade in program, I'd be all over it. It would allow me to carry only my license and that card though, which is awesome. I'll think about it and maybe buy one today - the preorder price is awesome.

Also decided it was time to learn some new skills, so I started doing some Objective-C tutorials yesterday and built my first iOS app. It's a lot different than Java and Android, but their interface builder is super simple and the iOS simulator boots up incredibly fast compared to Android (not that I don't use my device to test or anything).

HanSolo · Nov 15, 2013

I don't know. That Coin thing is cool, but you guys honestly walk around with 8 credit cards?

I have one credit card (on me), one debit card, my license, and maybe a reward card from Buffalo Wild Wings, and that's it!

You guys must be rolling in money! Or credit card debt.

lol

I have four different cards that I use for different things. Debit card, Paypal card, Visa and Amex and to be able to put those all into one would be awesome.

I've spent $50 on dumber stuff before so I bought one.

If anyone wants to use my referral code just shoot me a PM. I believe its against rules to post it on here.

Exactly!

License, CCW Permit, Insurance Card, Debit Card, Costco Card, and 2 Work Cards.

Not enough to warrant spending the money on a Coin. Though, if they managed to make one with a rechargeable battery, I'd reconsider.

Hearing aid batteries ftw.

Remember how quickly the little Bluetooth headsets needed replacing when the batteries were done?
