Anyone have experience applying a root and custom Rom/kernel to an Android?

I've read a bunch and think it looks rather easy. Just wondering if there are any perma-brick fuckups you can do.

Also curious how the CyanogenMod stacks up to stock JellyBean and if I should go that route or not.

What phone are you running? 

I had CM 10 on my Galaxy S2,3 and Note 2 and I rather liked it, however there were some downsides. On some phones it'll make the audio quite quiet which is rather annoying, some GPS will be quite slow. There is a lot you can do with CM10.. The battery life in my experience on multiple phones is rather lack luster IMO. With the standard power saving mode on my Note 2 stock I can easily obtain over a day of battery life. 

 

Honestly I would stick with a stock modified ROM (many come with alternative Kernels) and you'll be much happier. I'm currently running Jedi on mine and I absolutely love it, you get all of the stock features with no bloat and many many mods.

Nexus 7 Tablet, not a phone. My "carpc/headunit" and I need to root it. Think the kernel update will work with either stock or CM 10.1

I like a TL design. Interested in this project

Yeah, I was thinking either a sealed box or a LLT for the XCON 10, I don't have my PC with me or i'd try and mess around in WinSD and see where that got me.. For the xcon I'm thinking one of the big plate amps from Dayton, and maybe either just a plain 2 channel amplifier or receiver.. not really sure where I should go.

 

If movies are on the bill, you want a multi channel. For music, stereo is perfect. Although I prefer true stereo, and in my system I do not run my subs for music... of course my mains are flat in room to ~33Hz... I'll need to look at F3 on the design you are looking at.

 

Not in love with the woofer on those, you may be able to do just as good if not better on CL...but then you wouldn't get to build them. Personally if I were going through all that effort though I'd up the ante on the drivers and of course design. Xcon will be fine, if you don't have it though up the cone area.

 

For $100? I think it is a pretty solid design and at one hell of a nice budget setup. Sure, they aren't Seas with Planers, but they aren't supposed to be. The TL design should work very well with the selected drivers. Ideally I would add a notch with the in room bump at 2K, but I understand the simplicity of the design.

I tried to clarify. To me putting in the effort for the build "requires" that I get to spend more. If that is truly the budget then by all means

There is always a concern about bricking when you root.

 

This is really where you want to go to learn about and phone modifications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/

Been reading there enough to give myself a headache. No matter what I need a different kernel so I can charge and connect to a USB hub at the same time. Figured if CM was better than JB I'd do that at the same time, I don't get the tab until Thursday night and want to attack the update on Friday while I am laid up in the recovery room.

From what I've read it looks like bricks are reversible....which to me by default wasn't a brick which is what confused me.

Yay airport internet.

On my way to GM to get my Engineering Pass.

Pioneer is launching NavGate, a sat-nav with a built-in projector that'll overlay a 30-inch display over the road ahead. Using the unit, drivers can see turn-by-turn directions, the current speed limit, distance, a clock and the estimated time of arrival. The hardware pairs with various smartphone platforms and will even pull data from the CoPilot and iGo Primo navigation apps. It'll be available from October and will set Europeans back around £600 ($933).

 

Is your setup going to have projection, Sean?

Fuck you

In reality if the projector becomes modular it could. I don't see a need for that in my daily though. Heads up displays are awesome, but mostly I'd want a tach up on a car that I have to shift. Being the P-car is a tiptronic that won't really be necessary.

Epic Win.

I love the cardboard and uber shittyness that went into that.

Sister's looking for a 3 row vehicle. It only needs to be stupid reliable, cheap/easy to maintain, and new enough to qualify for CPO. Everything else is negotiable. GO.

I told her just get a Crown Vic

Fleet Explorer, Tahoe, etc.

Yeah, that's what I figured; something that is used a lot as a fleet vehicle. Are Expeditions used as fleet vehicles as much as Explorers? I don't see many of them.

Any specific generation Explorer/Tahoe or just all of them?

I'm partial to the Tahoe, if for no other reason than me any my dad are used to working on Chevrolet trucks/SUV's

as long as you don't mind all the plastic parts rattling/falling off they're tanks

Thought you wanted cheap? Gas won't be
