Since some folks *cough*Alwani*cough* are obsessed with the pie menu on the PA rom, figured this might be handy. You can enable the pie without flashing a new rom.

 

Nice, works perfect on OneX

Isn't that a bad combination?

 

 

oh god here we go again :doh:

 

 

 

hehe ! I will keep grammar in mind.. Good I didn't use caps in excitement.. I am running Temple Run 2 without any issue after switching the cpu governor to Performance mode in Cyanogen mod setting.. I create periodic nandroid backups and streak's been stable for whole jan.. better than stock rom.. I renamed the revovery image file in root to prevent my revovery from being over written at every boot..

I sound a little old school but streak is a great looking n performing device.. If only dell had done advertisement for it like samsung did it for note :( I contributed my share to dj steve and xda developers... :)

So what happens to the swipe to get to Google Now thing? Also is it a replacement 'launcher' as such or is it just called LMT Launcher and it works with another proper launcher at the same time (like Nova)?

I haven't enabled the swipe gesture for bottom area so google now still works. And though it is named a "launcher", it doesn't replace any existing launcher as it is not hooking into the launcher intents etc. It monitors touch events directly instead of android framework intents and overlays its stuff. so will work with any launcher or on top of any app..

Got me a Nexus 4 today :D.

 

Random observation... if you try to flash CWM touch recovery through Rom Manager, you have to pay about 100 Rupees through an IAP. It's free if you download it through the official CWM site. So anyway when I got my N7 a few weeks ago, I decided to buy the touch recovery through the app to support Koush. Today when I rooted my N4, I realized that I'll have to buy it again if I want CWM touch on my phone. Turns out, the IAP in the Rom Manager is per device, not per account like you'd expect. I don't think I like this. For something that can be easily flashed for free, you'd imagine that paying an IAP for it would at least get you access for all your devices. I know I shouldn't complain too much since I only really did it to show support, but this doesn't sit well with me. I was thinking of buying Koush's new app Carbon (even though I have Titanium Pro) but now I don't want to anymore. Is the way I'm feeling about this petty?

 

In other news, the vaporware Twitter app Carbon finally released yesterday. Tried it for a while... it's nice that it's free and it has pretty animations but honestly I feel it's lacking in features.

:cheers::clapping::clap3:

 

Not really, I'd feel the same when, as a regular android user, I'm fairly competent and know how to flash stuff and a developer (no matter how good) tries to take advantage of the lack of that ability to charge the same user twice.

 

BTW any chance he might waive it if you write to the dev saying you've already bought it once via IAP?

Hardly seems worth it to make a fuss over a 2$ IAP. His stated reason for doing this is that he has to make the touch part of the recovery for every device model individually, so he puts the IAP for each of them. I don't know... he's a pretty cool dev but this is just kind of shady. TWRP has touch functionality too and that's completely free, so yea...
