[QUOTE=Robber;42906376]Looks awesome, but 4.5 inches is a lot bigger than what I'd consider a small phone. As I said, ideally it should be [i]smaller[/i] than the Nexus S.[/QUOTE] Moto G is probably the smallest you'll find that won't make you want to throw it into a wall when you use it. Good, small Android phones don't really exist anymore
[QUOTE=Robber;42906376]Looks awesome, but 4.5 inches is a lot bigger than what I'd consider a small phone. As I said, ideally it should be [i]smaller[/i] than the Nexus S.[/QUOTE] Why not another Nexus S?
Jesus Christ I adb pushed everything into /sdcard/, instead of /sdcard/desiredfolder WHAT A MESS. Took an hour to clean up and push things correctly. Dat clean KitKat :v:
[QUOTE=Robber;42906172]Of course it's sarcasm :v: (I really need suggestions for a small, decent, inexpensive phone though)[/QUOTE] Galaxy Y :v: No seriously, Moto G is the best one you will find which is small and is great. Theres also Razr D1 and D3, which arent that big, but cant do lots either.
I reflashed my HP touchpad because the last rom was crap but I did like one feature. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gJSdcHf.png[/IMG] How can I get the 3 soft buttons at the bottom all on the left hand side, its annoying on a 10" tablet. And is there a way to get the rid of the bar at the top and have the notification bar at the bottom right, I had this on my last rom.

You can switch that shit without any problem in ParanoidAndroid, but I don't know if you can change it in any way just regularly.
Why do people hate the stock UI so much? I changed it on my TF700 from the tablet UI to the stock UI.
[QUOTE=sdwise;42907005]Why do people hate the stock UI so much? I changed it on my TF700 from the tablet UI to the stock UI.[/QUOTE] It's alright if you're holding it Portrait. But if you're holding it landscape you should be able to reach all 3 buttons without having to move your whole hand.
Swipe gestures and grid display options. That's why.
Mine hardly ever comes off the keyboard dock, so I guess that makes the difference. And I generally use it in portrait when it's undocked because I'm reading comics.
I've always found using it in portrait mode the best.
Is it just me or did 4.3 not really have a reason for its existence? It had an awfully short lifespan and nearly nothing shipped with it or got updated with it...
I'm fond of browsing in landscape, but again, that's usually with the dock.

It seems like 4.3 was only released so they could have a new Android version to ship with the new Nexus 7
Hey is it just me or is YouTube down right now?

In June 2012, they release the first version of Jelly Bean 4.1, then released 4.2 Jelly Bean in October. That's just how the Google I/O event and October announcements line up. But like mentioned, there were a lot of behind the scenes updates. Especially official fstrim support. 4.4 just happened to be their "big" update.
Finally rooted my damnable phone. Odin refused to see my phone after I tried a fuckin litany of bullshit for a half hour until I said "fuck it," went to a laptop, and had it work perfectly on my first try. My first action was to freeze the app responsible for system updates. Life got so much nicer.

In other news, I've been using the same wallpaper for a few months now..
I've always used stock android wallpapers. Phase beam and these two [T]http://geekshavelanded.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/wallpaper_01.jpg[/t] [T]http://www.wallibs.com/gudang/lg-nexus-android-jelly-bean.jpg[/t] [editline]19th November 2013[/editline] And now the new mountain range wallpaper on 4.4.

It had an awfully short lifespan and nearly nothing shipped with it or got updated with it...[/QUOTE] Notification Access is a pretty big backend feature, it makes apps like Light Flow actually work on any device. I think 4.3 was a good update, I know for some devices it wasn't so easy to get it ported from 4.2 so there must have been a significant amount of backend stuff changed. Most phones are getting updated with it, it's just that it had bad timing and OEM's generally are horrible at updating phones at all. Samsung phones only started to get 4.3 well after kitkat was announced let alone carriers dicking them up and sending them ota.
I should get more wallpapers.

[QUOTE=sdwise;42909378]Why do we ignore TRIM like a redheaded stepchild?[/QUOTE] Honestly, I know every little about TRIM other than the basics of what it does. Do you know what devices use or support it. Does every 4.3 build have it or does the hardware have to support it? I was hearing when it was the big talk of 4.3 that it wasn't enabled on certain devices, ect.
[url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533007[/url] Oh, neat. Looks like I might be holding onto this for a little while longer.

Are 3 hour charge times for tablets normal?
[QUOTE=garychencool;42910355]Are 3 hour charge times for tablets normal?[/QUOTE] Kinda depends. The TF700 charges pretty quick.

[url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527197[/url] I don't regret upgrading though, my LG G2 is so crazy better but I would pay another $300 for a physical keyboard on it.. [editline]18th November 2013[/editline] The nand started to fail on my Desire Z anyways, I can't even do a backup so I got off it just in time I think.
