Hur hur hur There's a lot of "cool ones" out there. It's kind of difficult to narrow it down with such a narrow criteria lol.

I usually just kept trying to DL it or try a reboot or change network if at home or clear out the play store app cache.

 

[P1NK13P13]

Wiping cache helps, but rebooting doesn't do anything for me. I'll give the other one a go if the problem happens, again. For some, it hasn't hapened since last Friday & I've downloaded sooo much since then lol. Speaking of downloads & the playstore, just wondering what everyone's favorite launcher is? All I've been using lately is Apex & Go launchers. Just trying to get more input before I download something new. The more customization, the better.

What is or was your most beloved smart phone? I haven't given it much thought personally, but I will post my choice once I decide. I would have to say for the most enjoyment I ever got out of it, it would have to be the epic 4g s1 slider. Second favorite, might be the nexus s 4g despite the tiny screen. Being a nexus phone, and a Samsung, without touchwiz, lots of stuff was compatible with it. The epic 4g went through a few years service between myself and the ex gf without a single problem or need for a refurb. Case selection was small and horrible. My evo 4g slider was a solid built phone (hardware) but the screen was too small. When it started developing issues I traded it in on the epic 4g.

Home 2 shortcut

Is it possible to change the double tap of the home button to google now instead of s-voice? Also the title of this thread would make a great title for a Dr. Who episode.

I'm researching getting a new (used) car. Does anyone have any comments on the 2008+ Nissan Sentra? I'm especially concerned with their CVT transmissions, reliability and maintenance costs. I'd much rather get a manual transmission, but in my area, that body style with a manual are extremely hard to find. My preference for manual is because for cost of repair, getting stuck because of bad starter, and you have a sufficient notice that the clutch is slipping and needs replacement. I've read that CVT is a somewhat sealed design which forces you to go to the dealer for service. Anyone who has ever had to pay for dealer servicing, knows that it is the most expensive option for repairs. I've heard horror stories of three grand to replace a CVT. They are supposedly designed to be replaced and not repaired. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Going to see where and how much I can qualify for a loan this week. My mechanic was working on a kia once when I was at his shop. He said the car is cheap but the parts are ridiculous expensive. I forgot what he was fixing but he asked me how much I would think this part was. I guessed maybe fifty to seventy five. He said nope, almost three hundred. I've known other companies to be that way. To buy the thing isn't too expensive, but the parts or accessories are crazy expensive. That's how they're making their money back, in parts, service, and accessories. I've had a Nissan and I got rid of it around 390k miles. My Honda, it's got around 350k on it and it's giving me signs of potentially expensive repairs, not engine, coming up.

You think that's ugly? I found a reasonable priced Nissan cube, with acceptable miles and manual transmission. Too bad the engine compartment is really cramped. That's another thing, I want to be able to work on the car eventually. A tight engine compartment is a nightmare to deal with.

Why not buy american? Superior quality(used to be lower but tops now) and comparable prices. Plus parts are much cheaper and way more mechanics and dealerships aren't as expensive. GM, Ford and Chrysler have come a long ways in quality. All the top auto review/award companies have said that the rest of the auto world is now playing catch up in quality and technology. Toyota is the highest recalled auto company out there. And Honda has fallen way behind. KIA is and always has been a cheap car. Most cost under 4k to make.

Buy american.

ROMs

So. I originally got PacMan ROM.:good: It was and is pretty dope. Now. I randomly get a UI crash that wont go away. Luckily I have a backup that I can keep reverting back to. But its extra irritating and I haven't found anybody or any thread that can give me a solid answer on a fix or anything. Anybody up in here know whats up?

Avatar Rom...Its way cool with its themes n all. The Optimus Prime theme is silk! BUT! Freakin thing. There is no audio for calls. Inbound OR outbound. Why that hasn't been fixed yet is beyond me. I mean. There has been numerous posts about that 'bug'. Some from the beginning of the year.

Anybody have suggestions on a good ROM?

I need/want something that comes with HotSpot(deff). Screen animations. Infinite Scroll. And deff something that can support HBO, Showtime and Netflix apps, as I have the Samsung HML Adapter.

Any info anybody could give me would be awesome.

Im on a Sprint GS4, SPH-L720 using TWRP.

Thanks people.


(After posting this I read a thread saying we're really not supposed to ask for ROMs)

I'll openly admit Im still a bit noobish at this whole rooting and ROMs bit. I can jailbreak an iOS device with my eyes closed. But yea. I'm mostly just asking for opinion and making conversation. b00ya
