[QUOTE=lavacano;46746767]I think vBulletin upstream fixed the bug ages ago but Garry doesn't want to update i don't know the ratio of "customization conflicts" to "garry being a lazy ass" however[/QUOTE] 60/40 thanks to compwhizii and just general updates, pretty sure we can never update to a new version of vb without a massive rework

How do you guys organize your game apps? I just have my right-most screen as my dedicated game screen so it's out of the way but packed with all my games.
With no organisation Everything is stored in the app drawer
[QUOTE=Scratch.;46747554]With no organisation Everything is stored in the app drawer[/QUOTE] you must access things slowly like iOS users (it's a app drawer/home screen joke) anyways I rarely play games on phones sooo the only thing I used to have for a folder was my crap load of camera apps I had installed that I never really used.
Not a single game installed. Phones are srs bzns

[QUOTE=Scratch.;46747618]I put my frequent apps in the tray (or whatever) Dial/SMS, Internet, Twitter[/QUOTE] I have Chrome, Hangouts, Camera and Dialer.

Take that!
I hate how Facebook messenger only supports 1 account...
[QUOTE=garychencool;46748065]I hate how Facebook messenger only supports 1 account...[/QUOTE] Discrimination against schizophrenics! [editline]19th December 2014[/editline] Also, my Nexus 5 worked flawlessly before 5.0.1 but now the flashlight crashes all the time so I have to restart the phone to use the flashlight or camera again. Super annoying.
I must be the only one that doesn't run into a million issues in 5.0+. Battery life is still shit like 4.4.4. tho
i don't have any issues with my Nexus 5, and just installed Optipop 5.0.1 on it. battery life is retarded good with greenify and a modified kernel.
I have question about OPO. Either I am a retard and can't figure it out or it's a very bad OS. When you click on caller app, I see speed dials, I click on them and instead of giving me actions it makes instant call, how do I send sms to speed dialer contact? Same story with recent calls list, once you click on it it makes instant call. That's pretty fucking annoying tbh, to send sms I need to go into sms app and type persons name or number.

To get to sending sms, tap on the 3 dot icon on the upper right of each speed dial or the profile picture icon on the left when you scroll through your contacts. From there you should see a mini window pop up showing the phone number of the contact. On the right of the number is a message button, press that and it will go to your SMS app where you can send SMS. Depending on your SMS app, it should go to the existing SMS thread with that contact or make a new one. I found it pretty confusing back on Kit Kat on my Nexus 5 and I thought to myself, there has to be an easier way. Google can't be this stupid. Then I tapped around the place on buttons I haven't pressed yet and found my way though it. I hope this was useful information!

[QUOTE=garychencool;46751759]I should probably play that tank game..[/QUOTE] Trust me, you don't want to.
[QUOTE=Medevila;46751689]What is that, Action Launcher?[/QUOTE] No, Smart Launcher 2. Really cool. I played more of Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale than Blitz. Its ok, but I have better games on PC right now.
[QUOTE=Squarebob;46751978]Trust me, you don't want to.[/QUOTE] I have it installed and played a little bit about it, I feel like I will throw hours of my life into the game because I always enjoyed playing tank games.
[url]https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images[/url] 5.0.2 just appeared on this page for the N7 2012 WiFi only model, and only for that device, but I can't find anything online about it. Anyone know what's new? Still no luck for the N7 mobile variants, despite rumours being that [URL="http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-2012/467138-nakasig-5-0-l.html#post4103084"]asus were going to send it out in "Early December"[/URL].

I'll flash it and tell you if I see anything different.
Flashed to K900's unofficial CM12 build on my OPO. So nice. Really like lollipop. One thing I'm not sure about, duno if I'm just being paranoid or not, but originally, I accidently flashed to his first build, which had no CM features, pretty much stock lollipop, and the camera was suddenly amazing. It was blazing fast and had no lag when moving the viewfinder. After I realized I downloaded the wrong one, I updated to the newest and I think the camera has become a bit sluggish again? Anybody experienced this or am I just imagining it. Also, is the camera meant to be noticeably better in 5.0 because of what google has been working on or is it only on Nexus devices?

Decided to cough up the $25 for S-OFF, now running 5.0.1 GPE on my M8. Soooo worth it.
