| netritious | good morning | 14:27 |
|---|---|---|
| wrst | morning netritious | 14:27 |
| netritious | how's it going wrst | 14:27 |
| wrst | more like a monday but not terrible yet, how about you netritious? | 14:29 |
| netritious | not to bad wrst...a little disappointed that I couldn't get debian chroot'ed on my captivate glide :/ | 14:31 |
| wrst | ha ha well if that's the worsre thing of the day... ;) | 14:32 |
| netritious | but there is still hope...haven't tried the SGS4 yet :) | 14:32 |
| wrst | netritious: have you ever had a nexus devices? | 14:32 |
| wrst | *device | 14:32 |
| netritious | no wrst I haven't. heard they're great though | 14:33 |
| wrst | so easy to tinker, but the lake of a SD card is a bummer | 14:33 |
| netritious | no SD card? how limiting | 14:33 |
| netritious | what about external USB? | 14:33 |
| wrst | it can be but a simple: 'fastboot oem unlock' to unlock the bootloader makes up for it :) | 14:34 |
| wrst | yes you can do external usb | 14:34 |
| wrst | the 32GB version doesn't limit me really so it works but still expandable storage just for media I would like | 14:34 |
| netritious | I keep reading things about KK disabling r/w for the user on sd, but i've had no problems with it. know anything about this wrst? | 14:35 |
| netritious | *external sd | 14:36 |
| wrst | it disables apps runnign from external sd, however samsung hacks it right back in | 14:36 |
| wrst | on my galaxy tab pro 8.4 I run most of the apps from the SD card without issue | 14:36 |
| wrst | actually samsung did a nice job on the last tablets they have put out or I think | 14:37 |
| wrst | touchwiz is much less a pig, its still a pig but I haven't rooted and installed a rom yet mainly because of apps on sd and the multitasking they do is really nice | 14:37 |
| netritious | everyone in my fam that has android uses samsung...not sure why. Probably what they push at the store. | 14:38 |
| wrst | it is and the hardware especially on the flagship models is good, I hear gripes about the plastic but I have always found them to be durable | 14:38 |
| wrst | more durable than the aluminum used on the fruit phones | 14:38 |
| wrst | their software I have had issues with | 14:38 |
| wrst | but its getting better | 14:39 |
| wrst | but stock andorid with apps on SD card and multiwindow mode would be my perfect setup but I can achieve most of it with touchwiz and some tweaking | 14:39 |
| wrst | haven't even rooted yet | 14:39 |
| netritious | only my phone and daughter's is rooted atm. | 14:41 |
| netritious | was to easy compared to rooting captivate glide | 14:41 |
| wrst | I haven't dealt witha Knox device yet that's one reason i haven't messed with my tablet | 14:42 |
| netritious | stupid easy compared to moto backflip | 14:42 |
| wrst | ha ha :) | 14:42 |
| wrst | the tools to root have become much more user friendly | 14:42 |
| wrst | on the nexus stuff I don't use a tool I just do it all with adb | 14:42 |
| wrst | its actually | 14:42 |
| wrst | but of course that is more or less by design | 14:42 |
| netritious | I ues odin in a pinch. haven't used adb since updating a recovery image on the glide cwmr | 14:45 |
| netritious | *to cwmr...that was a couple of years ago | 14:46 |
| netritious | runs twrp now | 14:46 |
| wrst | yeah I'm out of practice on odin anything | 14:48 |
| wrst | last time I used odin was to return my SIII back to stock before I sold it | 14:49 |
| netritious | have you ever checked out samsung kies wrst? | 14:49 |
| wrst | I have used that for something but can't remember what :) | 14:49 |
| wrst | I'm out of the loop on all things samsung | 14:49 |
| wrst | but will have to get back there I'm sure :) | 14:49 |
| netritious | it's just another PC-to-android interface from Samsung. | 14:50 |
| wrst | there is an open source odin I think I have used too | 14:51 |
| netritious | had to use it last year to recover the glide. accidentally looped it trying to install a ROM intended for /samsung captivate/ not /samsung captivate GLIDE/ | 14:51 |
| wrst | yes I have done that a time or two but luckily on a nexus device | 14:52 |
| netritious | how's that handled with the nexus wrst? | 14:54 |
| wrst | all through cwm or twrp | 14:55 |
| wrst | if you want to go back to stock you just download the factory image, and run a script that comes in the tar.gz | 14:56 |
| netritious | very cool | 14:56 |
| wrst | that flashes bootloader and everything back to stock | 14:56 |
| wrst | you can flash roms with stock recovery also but its just easier with a custom recovery | 14:56 |
| wrst | but all of that is with adb, or fastboot actually | 14:57 |
| wrst | I guess fastboot is part of adb? | 14:57 |
| wrst | its a different command | 14:57 |
| wrst | I don't know as much as I should to tinker as much as I do :) | 14:57 |
| * netritious should probably know but doesn't | 14:57 | |
| wrst | I tried out android L a month or so ago too | 14:57 |
| netritious | I try not to dig to deep into gnualikes | 14:57 |
| netritious | ^^just made that word up heh | 14:58 |
| wrst | ha ha :) | 14:58 |
| wrst | nothing wrong with "creative grammar" | 14:59 |
| wrst | we are in the south | 14:59 |
| netritious | gnualikes=OS that uses the Linux kernel, but not considered "Linux" in any traditional sense of the word | 14:59 |
| wrst | good term you shoudl copy right that | 15:00 |
| netritious | *2) uses Linux strictly for profit, usually in a very invasive way. See Google Android. | 15:00 |
| wrst | but you know, Linus Torvalds is perfectly ok with linux being used that way | 15:01 |
| wrst | he said that in a perfect situation people don't know what linux is in a system or something to that effect in reference to the success of android and the kernel | 15:01 |
| netritious | and I am too, but it's not meant to last | 15:01 |
| wrst | is anything meant to last? :) | 15:01 |
| netritious | nope. | 15:03 |
| wrst | oh have you tried ubuntu out on any of your phones? | 15:03 |
| wrst | the phone os not the desktop | 15:03 |
| wrst | last time I tried it I totally messed up the radio | 15:04 |
| wrst | not ubuntu's fault but trying to get it to work for data | 15:04 |
| netritious | you know, I haven't wrst. I would really like to turn one of my phones into an ubuntu console only phone heh...a PC, not a phone. | 15:04 |
| wrst | changed some apns, and well you have to dig deep and evidently to the level it interacts with the radio :) | 15:05 |
| wrst | I know :) | 15:05 |
| wrst | in theory its one in the same, but it isn't | 15:05 |
