Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Alright Android GAF due to some talking in hangouts I've decided to do a Friday question asking session.
Today's question if you choose to participate is How Old Are You?
I'm 31 (I'll be 32 by the end of the year)

I've always wondered, what do you even do with the data you collect in here? You had a lot of surveys, I'm surprised you never asked about the age.
Make a statistics thread in OT saying Android is superior because age groups.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Nothing which is funny cause I guess I do ask a lot of survey like questions. Topics just arise which make me then want to ask said question such as the age thing which came up in our Google Hangout.
Somehow someone has managed to make the ugly iOS 7 icons even worse with its Androidification.
It's definitely the worst part about iOS 7 despite everything else in the UI being beautiful.
Never understood the fascination of launchers when everything aside from the homescreen stays hideous.
I wish they made beautiful customizable Custom ROMs.
You can install 3rd party themes on most custom ROMs these days.
I'm 29, will be 30 on the 30th of September!
Oh sweet. Didn't know about this. Could you lead me in the right direction?
Currently on ARHD 20.2

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Don't know about that specific ROM, but I think the ROM itself has to support the AOKP theme engine. If it does, you can just download CM themes from the Play Store and you'll more than likely have a Theme option in your settings menu.
And yet the bootloader is locked.

For all those switching from Verizon to other carriers, let us know how it goes. I rely on my connection for work so not brave enough to make the switch yet. Good luck.

over 30% of phone sales in US are prepaid now!
The song in the videos are bothering me. The vibration sound they use makes me think that my phone is vibrating every 5 seconds >__>
I'm similar to that guy. I was iPhone user since 3G and through iPhone 4. Went with Nexus 4 last year and never looked back. The ecosystem argument is sort of bogus in my opinion. It's just a damn phone, you can store your stuff anywhere.

or maybe people realized that was a clearance price.
let me re-phrase. People dont buy prepaid phones from a different store then they are getting their pre-paid service from.
i moved to the bay area, i switched back to ATT (well, my company picks up the bill) and my wife is soon moving to AiO (once the Nexus 5 hits). I haven't noticed a difference with ATT... but i mostly stay between SF and SJ
...and?
I mean its not available anymore but at the time what would it being a clearance price have to do with anything?
Meh, Bootloader unlocking IMO absolutely should void your warranty. If I want to tinker with my shit, let me, at the expense of not having it covered if I fuck it up.
My only issue is when I'm not allowed to trade my warranty for the freedom to do whatever I want with my hardware. I'm not out to screw anyone over by unlocking my phone, busting it, then expecting the manufacturer to cover the costs of my screwups. That's not their fault its mine. I don't think I'm entitled to fuck up flashing a ROM then having the carrier or OEM foot the bill for that.

why should bootloader unlocking get them out of repairing faulty headphone jacks, charge ports, defective panrels, batteries, etc, especially now with sealed batteries on so many handsets...
plus that detects ROOT, not even bootloader unlocking!

I'm guessing that entire team is moving to Newkia.
Incidentially, I came across this while looking Newkia's name:
Old touchscreen prototype Nokia execs turned down.

Fingerprint scanners too now.
In their defense, it looks like they invented the only fingerprint scanner someone might actually want to use on a phone.

The Nexus 7 constantly amazes as the best Android device I've ever used.

has calmed down a bit.
And their touchscreen hardware, combined with iOS1 was better than anything anyone else was using for phones. I don't even use an iPhone anymore, but when I bought the iPhone 3G, it WAS magical.
I'm betting it was Resistive.I'm guessing that entire team is moving to Newkia.

Ha, this is mostly off topic, but Snoop Lion is apparently a MKBHD fan, and commented on Reddit about Marques' latest video:

No doubt. What if an official one happened though. Maybe Google have worked more with partners to help update all their phones and we'll have majority of Android phones running 4.4 by Christmas

So regarding the Nexus 5 (LG-D820)
Earlier I wrote in this thread that the Nexus 5 won't support Verizon Wireless, but I think I might be wrong about that.
Verizon is starting to roll out AWS (which is on LTE band 4), and the LG-D820 just so happens to support that band.
Based on this FCC communique (i felt like saying communique), the LG-D820 will support CDMA voice calls. Additionally, documents from the FCC show tests done on CDMA2000, which is what is used for Verizon as well as Sprint.
In essence, the Nexus 5 is fully capable of being on Verizon Wireless, as long as your neighborhood has the new AWS spectrum (1700Mhz) that Verizon has been rolling out since the summer. Verizon also recently purchased AWS spectrum from AT&T which included western cities (Los Angeles, Fresno, Calif., Phoenix, and Portland).

blogger grasping at straws. a Verizon phone with no band 13 LTE would be a joke. it makes no sense!
Is Chromecast even an open API? Can somebody else make Chromecast like dongle?
