Hard-bricking a phone feelsbadman. At least I can get it unbricked by sending it off to someone with the equipment to do it.

With CM7 my X already runs crazy fast, and the only thing I'd use that extra power for is emulators...which I [i]really[/i] don't need considering I can run Gameboid just fine and I do most of my gaming on my laptop anyway. And ironically, the X2 lacks a camera button which means no hard right trigger.

I've been looking at these tablets, how are they?

Obviously the Acer.

I really want to try MIUI. If I'll make a nandroid backup, install MIUI, and then restore the nandroid everything would be fine, right?

[QUOTE=superstepa;31873674]I really want to try MIUI.

If you aren't already, you should really be using titanium backup. A prepared android user has nothing to fear except actual bricking.

I think ive read about it on facepunch before, but is there an app that can turn off and on services throughout the day? example: I work in a fucking cave and my phone doesn't get service, so automatically turning off my 3g service and wifi on at 8am would be awesome.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;31879093]Why would they be on in the first place?[/QUOTE] what? Currently, the only service I run during the day is my generic 3g service. bluetooth, gps, data sync and wifi are all off unless I need them.

[QUOTE=Robber;31880337]But that's completely impossible. Even modern x86 processors struggle with PS2 emulation.[/QUOTE] Pretty much all Android devices uses ARM based processors, and not X86 based processors. And if I'm not mistaken, ARM processors have A LOT more in common with the Emotion Engine used in the PS2, than any X86 based processor.

I thought PowerPC was completely different from x86 and ARM.

So I'm behind on the tablet scene. What is the best tablet money can buy at the moment?

Either the Transformer or the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

[QUOTE=MorningWoody;31883095]-repost due to end of page.[/QUOTE] Tasker is probably what you're thinking of.

Compared my HTC Magic to my SGS II using FPse and Gran Turismo 1. Magic: 2fps SGS II: 120fps Now I gotta wait till they get the PS3 controller working on the SGS II, then I will be forever happy.

Yeah, if I can use my PS3 controller on my SGS2, ohhhh would it ever be great, play quake 3 wherever with it, gran turismo 1 and 2.. what phones can use the controller so far though?

I've heard the MIUI rom works fine, so I'm downloading it (Also to see what the fuss is about over it :v:)

Whats the best Android Tablet on the market?

Galaxy Tab 10.1, tossed up with the Transformer and eventually the Slider.

Until the new Quad-core tablets get out on the market, those are the only viable options.

Ok, I got the controller working perfectly. The only gripe I have with MIUI is that the menus are too similar to iPhone. hnnnnng Dark Theme...

I just joined Galaxy Ace club and I'd like to know where to find minimalist themes. Can anybody introduce me to flashing and rooting, please? [B]Update:[/B] Found [url=http://gingerreal.info/index.php/topic,100.0.html]GingeReal ROM[/url] and I don't understand any freaking Android term like stock KPH/KPN firmware, flash, mount system, cmw and etc. Yeah, a short and basic introduction would really help. [B]Update 2:[/B] Browsing [url=http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Terminology]CyanogenMod Wiki[/url], I found what I was looking for.

Flash= Writing an OS to the [U]flash[/U] memory, CWM=Clockwork Mod Recovery, the utility that lets you flash ROMs. Try to find a guide on your device's forums for specific terminology. I think KPH/KPN refers to the Samsung name for the ROM.
