Always fun threads.
Also where is KAL? Did you end up installing cyanogenmod successfully? Did your phone explode? POST IF U R OK.

Try the latest nigtlies with KT747 kernel- it's much better than M3 with stock kernel.
What's so special about it?
I was sad to see that the S3 version of the M3 build didn't have pie controls. Is that in the new nigtlies?

That is pretty awesome. My friends sometimes use foreign language versions of wikipedia, I'm going to try and show off this little ability.

aren't PIE controls only enabled by default on phones with no buttons?

Thread title was a little inflammatory though, so that opened a window for the folks that feel threatened by it for some reason.
The hover finger mode is so stupid. The wave for answer+mic activation is neat though.
Yeah. They're there for Paranoid Android builds though. Not sure why CM won't include them. A lot more convenient to have pie controls docked to the left or right of the screen for one handed use than reaching down to the bottom to press the hardware keys.

Can someone tell me why when I go to storage settings that despite having no pictures on my phone, it still shows 50mb of space being used by pictures? I know this happens from time to time and in the past there would be a photo/video cache file when I used the android file manager in a folder and I'd delete it and it would solve this. That doesn't seem to be the case always though, like now, there is no cache file I see. Really annoying.

As a guess, it may including the stock wallpapers (both live and static) in that 50mb.

I've been using Pie Controls on my N4 and N10. It's great. I know I hated the Menu button issue. However, since I first used Pie Controls with Gesture GMT or whatever, many apps have updated to not use the Menu button and instead stick the overflow menu in the app itself.
Pie Controls are now totally usable. Awesome.

Definitely not it. I know for a fact that when every thing is normal it goes to about 300kb for pictures. So it isn't wallpapers. At least not stock wallpapers, though maybe user added ones? I have added wallpapers from the wallpaper base app in recent weeks.
If only there was a way to see what is using up that 50mb.

You are awesome. Found two 25mb thumbnails in DCIM I deleted and all good now. For some reason I never found them using android file manager or airdroid the other day. Will be keeping this disc usage app from now on. Thanks.

Android's done. Only 32.66 more quarters, and it will be trumped by Windows Phone!
(based on comScore data for the first quarter of 2013 in the US)
that's US only though

So, I could probably start a new topic for something like this, but I thought maybe someone here might have tripped over info while roaming around on Android sites:
Is there a typical "popular setup" as far as camera hardware + mount for shooting "top down" style reviews where someone lays a phone flat and interacts with it to demonstrate something? I'm trying to create a video like this, but my method (1080p webcam taped to a box) is lacking in quality, from the camera end and the mount end.

I don't really know what a popular setup is, but I'd guess it's a DSLR or any other device capable of high quality recording attached to some sort of flexible tripod, like a spider tripod. I'd like to do something similar in the future if time and money would allow.
Ah, this makes sense! I guess the only issue now is figuring out an ideal setup regarding what to attach the tripod to.
There might be spider tripods made for things other than just cameras. I'm sure I've seen ones for smartphones as well... And since a spider tripod's legs are flexible they can be attached to many different things. Being creative is the key, I guess!
Also, anyone listen to any Android specific podcasts that are recommendable?
Edit: News! Babel to be called Hangout
I know pie controls are in liquid smooth but CM doesn't have them yet. The latest night lies are much smoother than M3 and with KT747, battery life and stability aew much improved. Haven't had one crash/reboot/SOD since installing that kernel.

awesome. Much better than BABEL.

we can only hope. But isn't the fact that it's a separate app mean that they won't be integrated? Unless I'm thinking about this wrong.
I interpret the last sentence "unifies messaging as expected" as if it will do this.
-Pyromaniac-

So like...if someone using android texts me, I will receive the message in both the hangout app AND the sms app? Or is the hangout app replacing the sms app? Or will I receive the messages in both. Or will I have an option in settings to control that.
Kind of confusing. In iOS if someone with iOS sms'd you the conversation would use imessage (indication being the different colours) but still in the same messaging app. What I'm reading here is that messaging will be unified but there will be 2 apps. Maybe I'm over-thinking.

Yeah there are multiple third party SMS apps in the Play Store. It shouldn't be any trouble for Google to do it themselves.
What I concerned about is if it'll require a Google+ or whether a phone number would be sufficient.
lol it's the android thread, giga. No fair.
Thanks, I'll check these out.
I think you're overthinking it
We'll find out all the deets in one and a half week, but I imagine (mostly hope) that it'll replace the standard SMS app and bring iMessage like functionality.
Nah those aren't Android podcasts (although accidental tech podcast is well worth listening for John Siracusa but it's still Apple centric)
Check out the Android Police Podcast and the XDA Youtube series

Hope so. And I hope they release the iOS app right away. Since I stopped usiung my iphone it's been a hassle to talk to my brother since we used imessage before. Would be nice if he could just DL hangout and that's that. Not only do I hope they release the iOS app right away but also the browser app. That's happening too right?

This is Google though. They'll announce it a and show it off and then we'll be able to use it 3 months later or something
One of the first image leaks was for the Chrome App of Babel.
These are going to be two very long weeks.

yo, dont say such sad things
Let's be honest. The iOS version will come out a month before the Android version.
And Gmail still won't be updated.

haha that is true.
-Pyromaniac-

goes against what google is trying to do though. They're ultimate goal is to be able to update as much of android as possible and I remember a while ago they said one way of doing that is to put as much as they can into separate google apps which they can update through the play store.
There isn't any good list but a while ago in this thread I did post the most likely list of things that people contributed to for KLP. If someone else can find it, post it up! I'm too lazy. Only definite seems like separate user accounts and unified messaging app.
As for i/o in general. Lots of chrome talk and whatnot. Possibly the XFON as well. Which is a customizable motorola phone google will sell on the play store like the nexus, it will run something close to stock. No one knows much about that either.

I found my roundup of possible random shit in the next android update:
- Multiple accounts (likely and meh)
- Possible new UI, more holo light less tron
- Unified Messaging (good, and likely)
- Random Camera features (likely, and why not!)
- A chrome that is actually good (perhaps...)
- Crazy amount of new gestures (bow to your galaxy overlords)
- Game-center equivalent system (maybe not ready for the next update but it's coming...)
- Better battery life management of some sort (maybe project roadrunner...?)
- Some kind of streaming capabilities (perhaps maybe one day)
- Possible multiwindow support like touchwiz, or something (probably not lulzz)
- And of course: http://i.imgur.com/rssn7V9.png

So why does Android Chrome suck so bad?
I rather use Android Stock browser or my 2nd gen iPod Touch then use Android Chrome.

I concede that chrome isn't as good as the webkit browser(s) but I still use it for the features. Hopefully google gets a move on their plans.
