Only dead in name I hope. Rest in peace CM, long live LOS (that name is stupid though).

Edit: even their site is kill, sad. Here's an archive.org link. https://web.archive.org/web/20161225130645/https://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/a-fork-in-the-road

I don't think I need to introduce this classic. If you haven't read it, take the time for it.
I think beyond the main point of opposing change like grumpy grandpas, this applies to quite a lot of things that happen online, and it's a good thing to keep in mind while you're posting/chatting.

I grew tired of writing makefiles and I couldn't find a single build system that aimed to be minimalist and had decent scripting support. Ninja does the former but doesn't implement the latter on its own by design so I wrote the complementary part.

I hacked this together in a few hours so it's not perfect but I can already build a project of mine with it and it works great.

So I got fed up of how slow and buggy Firefox is on Android, and decided to roll custom builds of Chromium instead, since I'm not satisfied with the feature set they offer. So far I have a patch to add DuckDuckGo to the search engine list.

Repo with the patches here : https://github.com/Streetwalrus/chromium-patches

I'll start uploading builds once I have more than that to offer and I'm fully set up for signed release mode builds (and also once I figure out how to debug it since I'm gonna need that to screw around more).

Surprised we don't have this thread yet. Anyway here's mine.

So I made this. It's a theme so it should work on any rom that supports them (probably gonna bitch on install it you're not on 5.x, didn't test older versions so please report, you need 4.4 at least anyway), so CyanogenMod, CyanogenOS and any other rom that has implemented the theme engine (a bunch as it's pretty popular).


APK is attached.

Edit : lol, didn't notice that vid was 42s long.

Eyup, it's a thing. They (finally) upgraded that piece of trash they called a CPU, and upgraded the RAM to 1GB. Thatd pretty much all but I'm definitely buying it.

So yeah, it's 2015 now. 2014 was fun, looking forward to what will happen during the next year.
Also I we're open to public now so welcome to CodeWalrus !

I wanted to run homebrew with whatever hardware I had lying around so I grabbed my unused Raspberry Pi and a bare metal tutorial, and set out to make a XenoGC clone. That modchip allows to play burned discs and imports on the Cube. Since it doesn't have code signature you can also burn homebrew and play it on hardware.

Have some pics.

CN302 debug connector under the DVD controller board with wires attached :


I tapped into the 5V line on the motherboard to power the Pi :


The wire harness comes outside the back through holes I'd made for a previous audio jack mod. I used a connector from a floppy drive ribbon cable to attach it to the Pi :


And here's the finished product. I have a 2043 block memory card in slot A and a 32GB SD in slot B to load games and homebrew from :


I should try to write some software for the Cube now.

Source and schematics attached on GC forever cause it doesn't fit in the limit here. I hope you like it.
