  1. Version 6 is out, and is the most stable (in my opinion!) Here's the thread, if anyone wants to give it a go.... [ROM][PORT][ANDROID 4.1] TAJB: Jelly Bean port for Galaxy S V6 [bETA] - xda-developers
  2. Only got it last night, so a bit of testing going on.... Trying to get NOW working, but not really understood it yet....and tips are welcome
  3. The whole point of Android is to server the community. Phones are released...and very rarely do the providers/manufacturers want to push out the updated software as this could stop people buying a new phone. However, with such a thriving community, it's not long before a build or port gets pushed out. This is the beauty of Android over some other OS (in MY view). I'm guessing a stock Galaxy is still back on Gingerbread....but, with a little knowledge and the help of a good community, I can forge ahead into the next builds without needing to upgrade a phone that is only 12 months old, and 9 months away from an upgrade point. Fragmentation won't kill Android (imo).... I think it is a very strong model.
  4. Morning all! If you have a Samsung Galaxy S, you may be interested to know that there is a ROM available on XDA for Jelly Bean. I installed this last night and all seems nice and stable at the mo. Give me a shout if you need any help/directions etc!
  5. Now THAT is good news! Have a great holiday!
  6. I understand completely, Gatt, but I felt that the other side of the story needed to be shown as well. I would think that by saturday night you'll be in a much better position to know what to do. It was not meant to suggest that you would willingly expose others to a possible disease, just that it should be thought about very carefully when the time comes to travel. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for your family, and hope the youngster recovers in time. EDIT: And I don't think I made it clear enough in my first post that the time to make the decision would be as late as possible.
  7. I really hate to do this....but someone has to.... IF the spots have NOT scabbed over, you are going to HAVE to stay at home. The problem with aeroplanes is that they are a closed air environment. The air just gets pumped around the plane. This means that if there is ANY chance of infection, the illness could spread like wildfire. Turn the situation around for a minute.... How would you feel if you'd got on a plane, for a nice holiday, and during your holiday you or your children came down with an illness that you suspected was from another passenger on the flight.... How would you feel? I truly hope that the chickenpox has cleared, and you and your family can go on holiday.... Buddha/God/Your own particular deity knows that everyone needs a holiday now and again, but you cannot, in all conscience, put others at risk. Insurance should pay out on a doctors cert.
  8. I rather fear that my retinas have melted into my skull.... Thank Buddha (or your own chosen deity) that I can touch type!
  9. I hadn't got close enough to see whether they were made like that!!
  10. I hate to sound like a curmudgeonly old sod, but I very rarely watch anything on ITV and Ch4/5 because of the adverts. They all annoy me for differing reasons.... 1. Lipstick/make up.... Can women REALLY not see the "soft-focus" effect? 2. Cars.... That's it.... Make a generic advert for EVERY market by using only those letters and numbers that look the same back-to-front.... I.E V,M,T,W,1,8,0 (This list is not exhaustive!) 3. Phones... Oh...suddenly, you're MADE to put "sequences have been shortened" on your ads, otherwise people would complain that their iThing is slower than the ad model! 4. Insurance ... We KNOW we need it... Just tell us what you offer instead of getting someone to sing.... or, indeed, getting comedians to do "funny" ads.... I'm looking at you, Chris Addison/Alexander Armstrong 5. Food... McDonalds/BK/KFC... We KNOW your food doesn't actually look like that by the time the box is handed to us.... STOP giving us a false version of what you sell! AAAAAnnnnnnndddd Breathe!!! Oh...and whilst I'm on this.... The new Go Compare posters have been radically altered around a certain Northants town.... Perhaps @synaesthesia or @GrumbleDook have noticed??
  11. Those aren't the opening credits! Just a mish mash of previous credits! Otherwise, it's a backwards step to have Desmond Llwelyn as Q and Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny! Also, at 1min 8secs, the copyright date is 1983!!! Still...can't wait for it to come out!!!
  12. On the subject of obscure footballers.... I used to play football with Imre Varadi! ( Check wiki!!) He was a foster child, with his brother, with a family on my street and always used to play football with us. Then, he was playing for Letchworth United (may have been when they changed to LGCFC), and before you know it, he'd been scouted by Harry Haslam.....Noted manager of Sheff United. Further transfers included to Leeds, Newcastle and Everton....Much to the delight of my Toffee-supporting sister!
  13. Am I the only one who thought.... "Whoa! Step back with the camera....you're about to get a facehugger!" This is what Prometheus SHOULD have been!!
  14. I preferred the WWII games, as the tech was simpler, and it took a bit more skill to get kills.... Let's face it, pretty much anyone can run through CoDMW3 with a machine gun, cutting down all before you, whereas BF1942 and MoH had a bit more stategy to them. I still think that nothing beats flying a Spitfire over Gazala and strafing the Hun!!!
  15. Pffft... You ain't the first to tell me that...... LOL!!!
  16. I only ever use that if I'm low on ammo.... And I don't intend gettong low!!!
  17. In preparation, I shall be busting out my huge array of weapons.... MP7 and crossbow will be the first in use..... And if I can get my hands on the Combine rifle....I'll be a happy bunny!
  18. HOLY S:censored:T! Ok...you got me now! Live updates on the thread.... Posts just popping into existence as you read the thread? Way to go, fellas! I'm now sold....despite the retinal damage!!!
  19. That's a shocker! But salmon is bound to come up with one to beat it!!
  20. I can get you one for the right price....!!
  21. OMG OMG OMG! Went to the homepage... I think my retinas have been burnt! Who do I sue? All I can see is orange.... Nurse, nurse!!! (Ok...so it's not THAT bad!!)
  22. I know I'll get used to it, but I have to say that I'm not a fan of the new look. I'm not going to compare to anything else... I just find that it's too bright.
  23. I haddock idea that this would all begin! Fish puns are sooo last thread, that I don't believe any of you will be in tuna with the current feeling against fishy puns. Now, I shall sit back, relax, and watch all the pollacks spouted over the following pages!
  24. LOL! That was possibly the most obvious ending to a post....Ever!!!
  25. I think the most important thing about that report is that it shows the basic intelligence level in the States! However, let's not be too harsh on them...we have our own history of stupidity via the television....
