| Cheri703 | I am trying to get my brain wrapped back around android rooting and doing things with adb shell...got a new phone for my mom and I'm getting it rooted and set up | 05:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Cheri703 | it has been a long time since I've messed with it much | 05:13 |
| Cheri703 | my phone is old and my nook was easy to root | 05:13 |
| paultag | canthus13: :D | 05:13 |
| paultag | damnit | 05:13 |
| paultag | Cheri703: :D | 05:13 |
| canthus13 | :D | 05:13 |
| paultag | canthus13: :) | 05:13 |
| canthus13 | :P | 05:13 |
| paultag | oh hey gilbert, around? | 05:13 |
| paultag | Cheri703: you can do awesome stuff from the shell via adb | 05:14 |
| paultag | Cheri703: launching intents, looking like a l337 h4x0r, etc | 05:14 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, my mom's phone is going to be set up as simply as I can, buuut *rubs hands together* soon I hope to have a galaxy s 2 (the sprint version) of my own to play with. this is an lg optimus s | 05:14 |
| Cheri703 | got my mom on www.ting.com and I'm headed there as soon as I can afford a phone | 05:15 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: My Motorola Photon was amazingly easy to root. | 05:17 |
| canthus13 | one click, pretty much. | 05:17 |
| Cheri703 | I have been debating between the s2 and the photon | 05:17 |
| Cheri703 | I got a one click thing for the optimus, we'll see how it does | 05:17 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: aside from the touch screen, I *LOVE* it. | 05:17 |
| Cheri703 | well...the touch screen is a slightly important part >.> | 05:18 |
| paultag | gilbert: just applied to NM, advocation pending :) | 05:18 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: I just don't like typing on touch screens. I want a keyboard. :/ | 05:18 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: it's a nice touch screen, though. | 05:18 |
| Cheri703 | ah | 05:18 |
| Cheri703 | it is bulky compared to the s2 | 05:19 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: It's not as bulky as I thought it would be. | 05:19 |
| canthus13 | the S2 is crap. | 05:19 |
| canthus13 | my wife has it. no SD card slot. | 05:19 |
| Cheri703 | I like the idea of the sim card slot, but it is ~$100 more than the s2 with ting | 05:19 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...I thought it had one? at least the sprint one does | 05:19 |
| canthus13 | The S2 also has weird issues hanging. | 05:19 |
| * Cheri703 checks | 05:19 | |
| canthus13 | ...I don't think so. | 05:19 |
| canthus13 | Just the internal 16GB. | 05:20 |
| Cheri703 | at least from ting "Memory 16GB ROM, 1GB RAM, up to 32GB with MicroSD " | 05:20 |
| * Cheri703 goes to check sprint site | 05:20 | |
| Cheri703 | it may be under the back cover, lots of phones are like that | 05:21 |
| canthus13 | Never mind. SHe's got the Nexus S. | 05:21 |
| Cheri703 | ah, ok, and that one is crappy? | 05:21 |
| Cheri703 | I need to get into a store and play with *actual* phones, not demos, yay mansfield, they're not easy to find :/ | 05:22 |
| canthus13 | The Nexus S gets really, really slow when there are a lot of pictures on it. | 05:23 |
| Cheri703 | :/ | 05:23 |
| Cheri703 | I got a 16gb class 4 microsd on amazon for <$15... | 05:24 |
| Cheri703 | WAY more than my mom will ever need, but it means she'll never have to worry about running out of space | 05:24 |
| Cheri703 | my old cdma hero is getting glitchier and glitchier these days :/ it is well over 2 years old | 05:25 |
| Cheri703 | which, for cell phones....ancient | 05:25 |
| Cheri703 | canthus13: have you checked out dice.com for jobs? I was poking at it the other day, no idea how it compares to other sites | 05:27 |
| canthus13 | Not in years. I really should. | 05:28 |
| Cheri703 | worth a look | 05:28 |
| canthus13 | Last time I looked at it, it was very poorly organized. | 05:28 |
| Cheri703 | has a pretty reasonable search function now | 05:28 |
| Cheri703 | you can choose multiple areas to search | 05:28 |
| Cheri703 | or by metro area | 05:28 |
| canthus13 | I just found it a bit weird to use an IT focused site with such crappy web design. | 05:29 |
| Cheri703 | heh, yeah | 05:29 |
| Cheri703 | "we don't hire it folks, we just help them find other jobs" | 05:29 |
| Cheri703 | paultag: you mess with arduinos and such, right? | 05:31 |
| Cheri703 | (or anyone?) | 05:31 |
| paultag | Cheri703: yeah sure | 05:32 |
| paultag | totally | 05:32 |
| Cheri703 | I want to find something like this: http://www.adafruit.com/products/170 without the arduino (friend sent me one, but a. I have no idea where to start, and b. I have no bits and pieces to play with) | 05:32 |
| Cheri703 | do you know of any sources for something like that? | 05:33 |
| Cheri703 | adafruit does not have them | 05:33 |
| Cheri703 | from what I could find | 05:33 |
| Cheri703 | I really want to play with it, but it has been sitting in a drawer for months :/ | 05:33 |
| paultag | damn | 05:33 |
| paultag | Cheri703: I get most of my stuff from sparkfun and radioshack | 05:33 |
| paultag | also old computers from the dump | 05:33 |
| Cheri703 | ok, do they have any kits and such? | 05:34 |
| paultag | yep, I think so | 05:34 |
| paultag | sparkfun that is | 05:34 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, I don't want to hassle with teardowns at this point, low effort entry point is the goal. I have SO MUCH CRAP that I am behind on, and so little free time, I think this would be a good "after work" hobby to mess with. I have to do quiet things because husband is asleep when I get home | 05:35 |
| Cheri703 | ok, will check it out | 05:35 |
| Cheri703 | thanks paultag :) | 05:37 |
| paultag | yep :) | 05:37 |
| Cheri703 | looks like their primary "here's a ton of stuff to use WITH arduino" kits come with them :/ | 05:40 |
