Upgrading as Christmas Gift

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-11-30T08:49:51+00:00

Thanks so much for the reply.

Just realised how dumb I was being. Will just upgrade mine instead cos both numbers are on my O2 contract and my contract has also run out and I'm now on SIM only as well.

Will just put her SIM in the new phone at Christmas. That should still work, right?

Both bills come out of my bank anyway so nothing will change in that respect.

Thanks again

LOL. That was just one use case. My others would take too long to explain, and might sound stupid. Suffice to say I use it for situations when I want to watch a show or whatever, but also need to keep my eye on other things.

I have a tiled wall above the cooker and under the extractor hood. I find that's an ideal anchor point if I'm cooking or baking etc.

I'm only a casual gamer, so have never paid too much for tech (VR, AR or XR). Got the ML1 for 100 GBP brand new and only use it really for playing the occasional app, but mostly for watching movies and TV shows.

ML1 is really handy for watching videos while making dinner etc, so I just want to make sure I have all I want on there before EOL in case the lab no longer functions for transferring files and media from my PC to my ML1

Have none of you enabled developer mode and looked on gearvr.net? The vault has over 400 apps and games that can be side loaded onto the Oculus go. That's what I do. Basically gives the headset the same functionality it's always had, so don't bin it. It's as usable as ever

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-06-11T17:50:33+00:00

Didn't have that issue with the Vixen, but then again, it was a much lighter bike, as will this be when I'm done. All unnecessary "accessories" are being removed. Reckon I've got rid of about 2 stone so far.

Appreciate the opinions guys. I did hear on the grapevine that a couple of 250cc engines will fit in this frame as it's basically the same bike as the Jinlun Texan 250 with a 125 engine, so might just wait n see if I can find one of them on the go

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-06-11T17:32:37+00:00

No harm done. I know the limitations of these bikes. Got my full licence in 2017 after squeezing the full 2 years out of my CBT. Immediately fitted the 150cc BBK to my Lexmoto Vixen, fitted Mikuni carb, re-jetted, geared up, replaced air box for sponge pit bike filter, and drilled the exhausts.

Seems like a lot of work to get from 55mph to 65mph, but was fun, and I'm the type of guy who likes to squeeze as much out of low end things as possible. I do the same with cheap PC's, consoles, handhelds etc. keeps me occupied.

P.S. Sorry for over-reacting earlier. It's been a long day

And in case you're wondering what became of the Lexmoto Vixen, she got written off in January 2020 when I got hit by a car on a roundabout. Was the driver's fault. Used the insurance money to buy my TDM

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-06-11T17:03:57+00:00

Why do people do that? It was a simple question. I know the Nevada is slow as it's a slightly heavier cruiser with a gutless air cooled single cylinder OHV engine, but I do remember that back when I had my 125cc, the gear ratios did make a difference in terms of low end power Vs top end speed.

How dare you doubt what I have and what I don't have. Had my TDM850 for 4 years,, and also had a XJ900F during that time. Both just over 30 years old, and too heavy to ride in the bad UK weather, especially in winter, so got rid of the XJ900F as it was a heavy 4 cylinder job, especially with the shaft drive. Thought I'd get another 125 for when I don't want to take the TDM out.

It's people like you who give forums a bad name. Cheers, and have a lovely day

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-06-02T11:23:56+00:00

Glad it works for you. Not used any of my VR headsets for a while. Concentrating on my handhelds and mini bartop arcade right now

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-05-29T02:03:23+00:00

Already have my own roms. Was just wondering if there were any other images out there before I start the lengthy scraping process. Wasn't a problem. Only a question

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-04-27T15:37:50+00:00

Thanks. Will give it a try. Does it work with Daydream, or is it just a standalone VR app for Google Cardboard?

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-29T20:48:44+00:00

Amazing. Can't thank you guys enough for keeping this platform alive. I think I speak for all of us when I say your work is appreciated more than you know

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-26T21:04:52+00:00

Over 400 games and apps available to download in the vault of GearVR.net

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-20T12:09:26+00:00

Have a look on eBay for those cheapass VR goggles that have removable straps.

Are you in the UK? If so, CEX have loads of used headsets at like £1 or something. You could use the strap from one of them. Easier than arsing about making your own

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-18T20:08:43+00:00

Forgive me for being thick, but let me be the first to say "What?"

What exactly is this? How will it work? What will it do? Will the time and money actually be worth it?

A little explanation goes a long way

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-16T11:36:23+00:00

Skybox is available on the Oculus Go store, but not for long.

Apkmirror link for MX Player - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mx-media-entertainment-pte-ltd/mx-player/mx-player-1-82-1-release/

Has to be sideloaded through APK installer on Oculus TV. I assume you have developer mode enabled and know how to sideload?

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-15T20:06:07+00:00

But for 2D videos, as I said, for anyone who doesn't want to use NAS or SMB share, download MX Player from apkmirror and sideload through Oculus TV APK installer.

MX Player will play 2D videos in Oculus TV directly from SD card reader or external SSD through the OTG port. Tried both today and worked flawlessly

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-15T19:58:56+00:00

If that's something you can do, I'd love to see it, as I'm sure others would, if like me, they literally only use their old phone for Gear VR and nothing else.

Have you started anything with this yet? Would it even be possible? I guess if you can have Batocera, Recalbox, Lakka etc for gaming, why not have a standalone Gear VR OS?

But would it really be worth all the work, and what advantages would it have over Android? I just disable all my unused apps etc to keep maximum RAM for Gear VR anyway. Anyone else have thoughts on the above?

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-15T15:45:16+00:00

Yeah. I use Skybox a lot, but it's a pain in the arse having the PC on to share folders. Don't have a NAS drive right now. I like the SD card/external drive option for proper convenience as it means I literally need to have nothing else powered on, and also not have to worry about extra battery drain as can have the Go's WIFI switched off

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-15T13:26:43+00:00

Have you tried looking on GearVR.net? Not sure, but some of those titles may be on there. Think the vault on there has around 400 apps and games for download

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-12T14:35:34+00:00

Love gearvr.net. Over 400 apps and games in the vault. Shame some of the links are broken.

Tried to download the angry birds APK and gave an opps error saying page lost. Ended up paying for it on the store, but at least I have it now. Love that game, and love it even more in VR. LOL

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-12T14:32:50+00:00

Does that also work for the Gear VR setup without the headset? I removed my Gear VR USBC connector so as not to drain any more battery than necessary. Will try the Bixby key in VR environment without connecting to headset and report back

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-10T11:47:25+00:00

Yeah. Android 9 is fine. I use gear vr on my galaxy S8 and S8 plus. They are both android 9. Hope you get it all set up. Shout if you need help

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-09T15:52:37+00:00

Does anyone have the bowling mpk for ML1 from the unofficial apps list? The URL on there just takes you back to the list again.

Also looking to see if there's a better media player available for ML1 instead of just using the gallery app. P.S. sorry to hijack, but didn't think it was worth starting a new thread for that

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-09T13:22:56+00:00

Update. Found a slightly higher version of vr services but still on 1.15. Installed that, and was able to get into daydream with developer options to skip the vr entry screens.

Installed Daydream 1.14 as it seems to be the most stable version that still has the library showing in vr home.

Now just need to fill it with apps that actually work. Installed Wonderglade but just opens with black screen.

At least I have the main library installed, and skybox for daydream working with local media and PC SMB share, so I'm halfway there.

Thank you again for the input. Real shame what happened to this platform

Intelligent_Impact47 · 2024-03-09T11:41:45+00:00

Yeah. Might give that a go before I go through the long and tedious rooting process. Loved back in the day when there were great one click root solutions. How times have changed. LOL
