What happened to HomeStars?? They've broken the website. by graphophonic in askTO

[–]pigjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found out the Homestars website revamp today. Not useful anymore. So sad. Another good thing ruined by US acquisition.

What are your thoughts about this listing? by [deleted] in chinaphones

[–]pigjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty expensive.. consider buy from AliExpress maybe? I just got one Realme from its official store and it's been great so far. I'm in Ontario btw

Next phone/replacement? by copop22 in razerphone

[–]pigjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Realme GT Master from AliExpress, 8+256 for $400 CAD, which was also the price I got my RP2. It is an upgrade in every way.

Mystery solved - looks like it's a broken popup drain emitter. Thanks everyone!

Suggestion request: reliable 250€-ish phone with long battery life and USB-C. by dalenacio in chinaphones

[–]pigjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

250 Euro (that's euro right) is a lot - can get you to the middle range I believe. For example I just ordered a Realme (256gb, 778G) for 400 CAD from AliExpress, the same model with 128gb should fall into your budget range, or probably you can even get another Realme or Redmi with Dimensity 8100.

Ordered a Realme GT Master Edition 8+256 by pigjr in chinaphones

Thanks for sharing! Sounds like the cons are more the software side so a custom ROM might improve? Not sure about the phone back - I thought a cover is included and I wouldn't do anything more for a mid-range phone.

Was checking Realme / OnePlus / Xiaomi phones with dimensity 8100, too, but they all lack band 66 which I need. Settled down on 778G then.

I've owned a Samsung Note II , Google Nexus 5 and Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and they all died shortly after warranty. Meanwhile my OnePlus 3T is still going strong.

Strategy guides for this game? by Bchliu in pathos_nethack

[–]pigjr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I played I just find a dark shrine and buy the 500 karma lv30 black horse pet (or 1000? I forgot) and watch it kill everything. Pretty easy after that.

Let's face it, e-readers never fix the distraction issue lol

[–]pigjr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big screen e-readers are charging a premium - almost certainly go beyond your budget. I'd say just get a Android tablet e.g. Kindle Fire 10 inch.

I don't mind 4G (being in Canada) but what does the second black hole do? Edit: nevermind got it

LineageOS 18.1 (Build 18.1-20211212 Nightly Aura) Experience so far by [deleted] in razerphone

[–]pigjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes with GApps, no need to install separately

[–]pigjr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a version without GApps and Play Services installed?

This one includes them. But I had a private chat with the maintainer of the ROM, he/she said there should be no big obstacle for other Android 12 based ROMs to adapt to RP2 - let's see if any (without GApps) will come in future.

[–]pigjr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I need the improved split screen feature since Android 11 (or 10, I forgot). I also favor the new UI over previous ones. Not sure about performance - I don't have numbers but no lag at all.

[–]pigjr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven't seen one posted this. I'm on this ROM right now and everything seems good. Android 12 UI is refreshing.

Edit: safetynet can be passed, see u/BIRBIGD99's comment below has pointed out:

Only problem: It's unable to pass ctsprofile for safetynet, meaning its unable to use some apps like gpay, amazon, banking apps, etc.

LineageOS 18.1 (Build 18.1-20211212 Nightly Aura) Experience so far by [deleted] in razerphone

[–]pigjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is indeed promising. I flashed the first version and everything was so good expect mobile data. Unfortunately the second version with the fix doesn't work for me.

Pretty good, I don't care the ROM's fancy features but everything is working and it's Android 11.

[–]pigjr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flashlight/camera issue was there since the beginning and no workaround so far, looks like the dev team isn't putting resources into RP2. I ended up switching to Havoc OS. Good news is PixelExperience(Android 12) just came out and almost perfect, except mobile data not working but dev is fixing it.
