Probably nothing new to many a BBq'er but spent a good chunk of time yesterday dorking with making a multiboot usb. Am not there yet but came across a few cool things while messing with the topic. This Arch-wiki page has a lot of related goodness laying out different approaches to making one. Bunch ...

^ I know ... right ? I've been working on it. :) OP don't be fooled, plenty of the folks here have spent a lot of time learning to get to the point they're at. As for Machine, someone doesn't start a notable gnu/Nix distro or community and forum without them having put in their time and paying the d...

Yep, more Droid. These could be da droids you seek. :) Downloading Android iso's from here . Buncha the suckers, am going to download a few of them. The 6.0 rc1, the 5.1 one (my device is v 5.1.1 so should help me out), the CM v13 sucker, mentioned Cyanogenmod is one of the better known custom ROM c...

Not really what you specifically requested, more like another opinion in general. Hiya, I'm bizcuit, bbq's resident babbler. :) In no particular order. Really no substitute for earning your chops imo, when it comes to gnu/nix. Just the way it is, more time, effort, experimentation = you learn stuff....

^Thank goodness Wux, you can see me ! IM ALIVE, ALIVEEEEEEE ! Was starting to think Machine deployed a babble filter and ghosted me. :/ Preparith YE's for android babble. Yeah no kidding Wux, think this kinda thing has some valid goodness involved with it. Betting many of the defaults ( launcher, wh...

Yep you guessed it, if you guessed more incoming Android babble that is. Still in the process of learning how to tweak system services and apps. Plenty of tools to make that easier. Mentioned the Process stats in the OS settings, Developers options. Also of course there's apps to do this. Stuff like...

Update: Starting to wonder if I'll get the chance to mess with FF mobile. Stumbled on some fairly recent stats and looks like Mozilla is in trouble. Their browser market share has been dropping like a stone for quite awhile. Starting to look like Chrome is the new IE, arghhhhhh. Pushing the competit...

^How dare you Sir, Folgers is not bottom barrel. Runs through a filter n everything ! :P Nah you're right, pretty much is. Fortunately years of excessive ethanol abuse have permanently killed off my taste buds anyway. So could be drinking rust water, would be the same to me. Lol ... For real I also ...

Drink the cheap stuff, errrr cuz I's po. Not surprised to see many of the nixers here such as the mighty Baconator have class and sophisticated knowledge/tastes on the subject. Nothing wrong with that, am sure nobody's surprised to find out biz has no taste or sophistication, that's a real shocker r...

* Log, star date 11-27-2016, 1230hrs. * :P Really nothing new to report on this topic. Am going through a burn-out phase, can only take so much of dorking with one subject, before taking a break from it. Plus have been known to have the attention span of a fruit-fly at times. Remain in a holding pat...

Ah no worries, don't think Castro's going to mind too much. :P Besides I don't think it's so much a celebration of the guys death, just think Cubans really like to party.

Yep you guessed it ... more android related babblings. :o Interesting thought I'd like to share. Ok here's the deal, I know this phone's OS has a serious vunerability, cause the kingroot app rooted the thing in under 2mins flat ! Gee thanks SElinux ( way to enforce and protect me bud), this got me t...

@Launfal lol ... Whatever works for each person eh. I really don't make enough calls to justify paying for an unlimited monthly plan for real and have some of the same issues you experienced too, swipe to answer can be a pita. But there's probably a round million ways to change that feature in andro...

And one more, lol ... what can I say, I'm stoked about android atm. ;) Another way of possibly getting rid of this pesky SElinux thing. Thinking about tracking down and chmod'ing it's damn files to read-only, lol. Or jettisoning the things packages altogether. Don't doubt there are plenty of ways to...

You're more than welcome Ivan. Got an ever growing list of android tweaks, info and web-pages I thought were interesting building up on the subject. Atm ... am at a stand still. Waiting until I find a good backup/restore solution before really going wild w the tweakage. Got the sucker rooted via a l...

^Thanks Sir Ivan, didn't know about that. Damn good to see you fellow nixer. For sure hope all is well for you and your family. Also agree with you, once I managed to get up the knowledge to do it myself, it's hard to be satisfied with anything else. Though being willing to try someone elses spin on...

Dang it ... sorry missed your post Wux. No worries, wasn't interested in dorking with Android for a long time either. Nothing wrong with the it just works for me approach to mobile for sure. MAXIMUM Android TWEAKAGE !!!! Seems to have some really cool potential to me though. Also no doubt will be fu...

^Agree ... at least in part. Just recently realized something that afflicts many Android users. I'm calling it appitis, a dreadful condition in which someone installs apps to do everything. Many of which could be done more effectively/efficiently by tweaking the OS instead. I don't have many apps in...

One called Lightning, no ads, has a text-only mode, easy to block images in the settings on/off, switch off or enable javascript, search in page feature, block 3rd party cookies. Lotsa goodness, lotsa people have downloaded it etc. Really haven't fully explored all it can do. In the about section of...

For the longest time had zero interest in mobile stuff. Only had a few cheapy android phones and have always tended to think why the hell bother trying to learn this new platform, with so much left to learn about good ole opensource on the more traditional ones. Well ... just about then, a lil andro...
