What are you doing with your old cappy?

[zhrakk]

Greetings all.

I recently got a new sgs3, so my cappy was just sitting there.

So, even though I was still updating it, I was not really using it.
So I basically have made it a multimedia device.

I have it set on airplane mode with Wi-Fi on. Its got my music and a few games on it. I also loaded audible.com app on it and I sync all my books to it. Since audible now syncs where you are in books, this is a fantastic feature.

What do you use you're old cappy for?

Still using mine!
Going strong now with a brand new 1800mAh battery and running AOKP

I flash new nightlies and use it around home / the office / the gym on WiFi when I want to conserve my Nexus 4's battery or don't want it to get broken.

Mine's getting flashed to stock and traded with my wife's whose power button stopped working. I'll use her old phone for testing apps on Gingerbread and as a backup in case something happens to the Nexus 4 or her phone.

It's been nice. Would've been 5 times nicer if GPS was adequate.

Gave it to the GF

Gave it to my girlfriend, totally converted her from iphone to android. Of course this is after itunes, or the icloud, ot something totally ate her 100 gig music collection. Now all her music is on my server and she can get to it from wherever on the cappy. She doesn't have to even pay an annual fee.

She just has to make me a sammich.

who you callin old?

I recently got someone elses 'old' Cappy, my second, and the plan was to use it for testing ROMs, but it has been a battle thanks to it already getting ATTs GB "upgrade"! lol

 

[Bane99]

Running Paranoid Android/AOKP on it. Some people can't afford to upgrade phones on a whim ya know

Just picked up an s3 for the wife and a nexus 4 for myself to replace our Cappy's.
Is there ea ROM specifically designed to not be a phone? If not what ROM are you running old Cappy for non phone functions.
I've also considered use as a dashcam, but i think it might invite break-ins lol.

Simply keep the phone in airplane mode, the less widget possible and have it on conservative = best battery life for non-phone functions.

For games although, you might not wanna have it on conservative. On demand is a great middle.

use it for daily life :fingers-crossed:

I have modded the hell out of it and gave it to my girl, she's so happy cuz I gave her an android phone and she's never had a smartphone, so to her discovery of all the mods Ive done to it, she has been promoting my business so I been busy and away from here doing that and wow, who'd have thought two years ago I'd have started a business Modding and repairing computers for people...

 

[Delve]

Still my daily driver, KitKat seems to be running solid with CyanAoSP, so I guess I will use it til it breaks, which I don't think is likely to happen!
