Awesome fan cooler and car dock combonation

On my ride home today I discovered something unique that is only available to thunderbolt users. I was running GPS and pandora which made my phone a little hot. I took out my kickstand and put it in my air conditioning vent. This provided air cooling to the phone and a great hands free dock. Try it out, hope you guys had as much luck as i did.

That's pretty funny others in here have done it as well.

that's an awesome idea. I have jeep wrangler so I usually put the kick stand on and put it on top.
How does it stay in there wouldn't it be to heavy and fall out?

There is another thread showing this. The bottom of the phone rests against the dash so some of the weight is supported there.

That will work great until winter when the air coming out of the vent is warm...

At which point you can OC it to 2.0GHz, and cook breakfast on it on the way to work.

Ultimate Boot Animation Challenge

Ever seen the spot for the Palladia Channel?
Where the flock of birds, morph into trees, then into a large crow?

Make THAT a boot.ani!!
But instead of Palladia at the end, it says Android

Very cool idea.

Pretty cool clip,dont know about fitting
all your asking for in a bootani with out cutting the hell out of it(longest i have had one run was 42 seconds) but cool idea. i'm not great at photoshop to add the ending you want.
Tapa away from a galaxy far away

I'll give it a shot, like dased said tho, will have to cut it down in length some. Gimme a day or so...

Edit- Cuz I'm wound up on Monster.. dammit lol

Actually, in the spot that runs on TV now, it starts at the 24 second mark, so you can lop that first 24 seconds off
Also taking out the cascading shots between :40 and :55 will save another 15 seconds

Never seen that, but it was intense.

Let me take a look(still iffy on the ending you asked for) .
still need to knock off 10 more seconds or so

Can probably drop the ending then, there's a few secs, and maybe trim the beginning

I think getting it cropped for time wont be so bad. With the parts you mentioned and then pulling some extra frames out here and there, ought to be able to make it work.
One trick I've used recently was to rip several copies to jpg from the video, varying the number of frames for each. IE: one copy might have 150 frames, one 200, and another 250. Then you can use diff parts from each to complete the whole. It allows you to speed up parts of the animation that wont be effected by reduced frame rate, areas where the detail isn't real high you use the lower valued rates, and areas of high detail you use the higher valued rates. If that makes sense. Lol
Anywoo I'll try and get something tomorrow.
@ dased, sent ya a pm...

Be sure to pull the boot.zip out of the zip you downloaded. I had to put it in a compressed zip due to size.

It checks more than just every boot. I purchased this back when it came out on the evo og, it is worth every penny. But only downfall is no icon customization. I currently have it on my transformer and it is smooth.

It's not 2 bad. I did try it.. Big problem to me is that it is constantly using over 80mb of ram which is tough to stomach when we only have a small amount to work with.

To put this on your device do u use cwr?

it should be an .apk

I just tried this. It's ok but the ram usage is (obviously) too much. I applied hard to kill launcher (v6) and then angry birds took about 3 minutes to load. It also destroys the battery.

How to crack it
15 dollars is stupid - Does not have any features to it, looks good but that is it ....
Pros: Looks good, it is smooth
Cons: No folders on app drawer, no hiding apps on app drawer, little customization.

Use lucky patcher to crack SPB (15 dollars is stupid) - Not that many features though ....

Not trying to raise post count ....
Look again, all I've done was post on general forum, and what is the point to having many posts?
Also, $15 bucks for a launcher is ridiculous! Specially because all SPB Shell is cute nothing else... Plus Lucky Patcher will work on it untill reboot, so it's only buying a trial anyhow .....

Curious. PSX4Droid.

So I've been playing some old games of mine on my SK, through psx4droid. Yes I have the original copies so no worries. But I've come to notice that I can only use up to 2 hard keys at once? I play Twisted Metal, but I can't turn and shoot while driving at the same time. Is there a way to fix this, or is this a hardware limitation on the Sidekick 4g's keyboard? Any info would be appreciated (and I think this is in the right section for a post, I appologize if not :\ )

Yes, only 2 keypresses can be detected at once. No, there's no fix for this. Many threads about many phones with same problem here on XDA. Makes me sad too...

Damn, not what I was hoping to hear. That blows :\ thank you for the reply though.
I wonder if there ever will be a fix. Hmm...

Personally I use a PS3 controller using the sixaxis driver. It's very cheap and works great. Plus the author is here on XDA.

Well... I can't always have a PS3 controller with me. That would be a bit geeky

Still, its kind of a reasonable workaround could be worse haha.
And you have a full set of controls

I remember reading something on XDA front page a few months back about a phone that was able to fix the 2 button limit. Forgive my bad memory, but all I can remember about the problem/fix is that it used the term ghost something.
Either way, it was an exciting new development on an upcoming phone back then - definitely after the time of SK4G. 6 axis + TV out.

Very cool 3D Live Wallpaper.

This is cool. Allows you to give any image a 3D wallpaper look. Looks awesome on the SGN10.1. Some reviews say it doesn't work on their tablets but works great on this one.

This is pretty cool.
Too bad it costs money.
And too bad it says it won't work on my phone. But I'm not going to pay for it on my tablet just so I can pull the .apk and have it not work on my phone.

I tryed version from apkmania (for test purposes). This program is unstable, picture that I choose is not in full resolution, even if I set zoom on 0, walpaper is still zoomed. At the end, I decided to erase it from my Note 10.1.

Works perfectly for me. You just need to pic a photo sized correctly to work.
I can never get over people who complain about a < $2 app they would use every day on their $500 tablet. No offense but don't be so damned cheap.

I don't think it's about cheapness. Some people weigh value against cost. I'm one; it's not that I'm cheap, I spent thousands of dollars in electronics each year to satisfy my tech cravings.
However, when it comes to value then it is a different thing. I'm not into pretty widgets, themes, icon packs and live wall papers. These are worthless and server no purpose other than aesthetics, IMO. Even those low-weigh-on-CPU worthless stuff and even if my tablet has butt loads of spare CPU juice and super extra RAM; even if the software in question only puts a 0.1% load on my tablet I don't want it, even if it's free.
I've had this philosophy even back in my iPhone days, I've had most them and things like WinterBoard, low weight, pretty on the eyes, and free... I don't want it.
To each, his own. You have no right on telling people what to spend their money on. The same way we cannot critisize you for already having spent your money on this live wallpaper.
Thanks for sharing, I actually like to see those pretty things; just not on my devices.
