The Lounge / Re: Random Chat


I can't have a cat. Owl trumps cat. Lost two cats before I decided to quit feeding it.

I can't decide if you're serious or making that up  ensbb3. Worryingly I think your serious.
Buy mice for owls, not kittens.


Sadly that's for real. Normally I'd shoot predators that threatened my animals... most birds of prey are protected tho. Owls are pretty anyway, but this one is huge. The field mice must just be a snack.

Hit me up on Google hangouts, princess. I bricked my phone last night. :-\

I'd be a good case for sedation. I would go nuts if someone tied me down.

Forum Administration / Re: Do we need some Purge?
I am extremely mobile, connecting from many different wifi networks on the run along the day. If you want to kill my participation here, then tying my account to one IP pretty much guarantees it.


I can't bring myself to use public wifi on a day to day basis. Consequently I've used 13GB of mobile data only half way thru the cycle, tho. Anyway, to the point...

Modulating IP's make it impossible to tie any account to one IP. All I have to do is logoff network or lose data connection and i'm reassigned a new IP when I reconnect. Couple that with my provider likes to throttle bandwidth to certain sites, so it's likely I'm bouncing off a proxy too.

O'k


Always the hypocrite. I've seen far worse from you. Regularly... And if you have something to say to Smiley and Belfrager don't be such a coward. Both are likely to respond with better grammar than anything you've posted here. :left:

Browsers & Technology / Re: Must Have Mobile Apps.
Not in the app list. If you pick it up it shows you the screens so you can drop it on one of 'em.

Ah, ok. that's what I thought you meant.

I have the paid version of Nova on my tablet. Seems I got the free version on my phone somehow (I better not have to pay again, grrr). Turns out the free one doesn't sort the app drawer at all anymore. And to add to my confusion, you don't stack icons anymore. You define the tabs and folders you want in; Nova Settings>Drawer>Drawer groups.

I thought all launchers made folders for those bottom four icons though.


I assumed they all would by now, but Touchwiz (my stock) doesn't allow them in the dock.

Indeed. Some kind of indexing would seem in order. I used to bother to folder my app drawer but the UI improvements post ICS (4.0.x) prevent Nova Launchers drawer fixes from working. As soon as you grab the app it kicks out to place it on the homescreen. Maybe a toggle I missed somewhere? Regardless I shouldn't have to. With the tabs added across the top for widgets (That I don't need. Hello! Long press the wallpaper while you're looking at the spot you want it!) it seems like indexing would be a simple thing. It's the main reason I haven't changed my layout much in years. 3 screens (home the center one) and three dock screens puts most everything within two taps, maybe toss in a gesture. as long as I have a custom notification bar even individual features are quick access. Commonly used goto dock and notification bar. Homescreen gets a weather widget and fad apps I'm currently messing with while one screen gets dedicated like a control panel with all system tools and the other screen with media and data concerns, browsers/viewers/editors. I don't have many games... Maybe none atm actually. Makes it so I don't even goto the app drawer that often. But much is redundant and wouldn't be needed if I could open the drawer and quickly find what I'm looking for. I've seen apps that claim to categorize and one may of even used the drawer tabs, now that I think back. Nothing I'm recommending tho.

DnD Central / Re: The Awesomesauce with Religion
Ever since I remember myself (which is at very early age) I have found philosophical materialism dubious, and soon enough untenable and indefensible. For some time I guess I have had a subconscious struggle with various shapes and shades of dualism, until figuring out how spiritual monism works.


Pretty much confirms what I thought.

And done! Got farther than I ever hoped too.

I installed the, Xposed framework (XDA article), and found several useful modules. This one is a keeper for sure. Along with the boot manager I stopped the random bloat apps without having to freeze them. I found many good modules to add custom rom like features to stock, in fact. Naturally it's odexed being stock so not many of the GUI or theme mods work. I didn't expect they would, and at least I got power menu, notification and status bar tweaks.

Finished with enough time to look thru my old apps and see what's buried... And here's what I found.

Root required:
Busy Box Installer- I installed this. Usually comes with custom ROMs tho.
PDAnet- USB tether.

Screen Grabber- Screen capture.
Screen Shot it- If you don't have, between these two you're covered.

No root required:
VidTrim- If you've ever wanted to send a video you just recored but it was too large... bam.
Mp3 Media Converter- Multiple format converter.
Toddler Lock- Yeah, you know. Most powerful app around if you have a toddler.
Hide It Pro- Neatly hides whatever. I'm sure there are nefarious purposes I won't explore but it worked well to hide personal data I didn't want available on an unlocked phone.
Floating YouTube Popup Video PIPed Youtube.
AnTuTu Benchmark
A better camera
Camera FV-5 Lite
Androidify- Make android avatars. Just for fun.
Ultimate custom widget (UCCW)- Make fully custom widgets. Neat tho may take longer to perfect than it's worth. Made one I thoroughly enjoyed.
WindOS- Windows XP look-alike launcher. I looked for this for the 'just for fun launchers' earlier but just came up with it. Not so functional but fun.

3rd party (now):
Barnacle Wifi Tether- Ad-hoc Wifi. Was removed from the market because it circumvents hotspot blocks. (Root required)
 
 
Well, Maybe someone will fine something here useful. I'll update the links in the OP, if I can. I've exercised my demons for now.

Not only did you miss the part where I distinctly argued for this thesis (to help you out, it was the example of airplane - if airplanes are meant to fly too, then the airplane is not just the assemblage of its parts - the pilot is another necessary element that goes into making up the airplane as it really is)

Oh no, I caught it. And covered it.
that isn't pulled from thin air.

Innuendo. Fun stuff.
This also applies in the opposite direction.

You don't say? Actually came back around quicker than expected. You see, I was questioning your methods (you may of missed it)... I've no doubt you believe what you say but how logical is it to be so attached to assumptions? Not something you are willing to accept, tho. So clearly the more logical position.
When you say you can't put your finger on something - and this is your whole issue with my thesis - then you are only showing the way you reason. And, sure enough, you're not being convincing.

You know it's a common tactic for those bent on explaining the supernatural to try and make their point out of confusion. I reason that's it, you believe I'm confused? Maybe you wanna believe I can't grasp what you've said? Nevertheless, I never said that would be my only issue with your thesis. More like a reoccurring one. I wasn't willing nor would I waste time convincing anyone. But if you got that wrong... What else?
