Udated Roku app for Android

So today I took a longer look at the new Android app from Roku. Some nice, new features are present.

Voice search for channels.

Streaming music and photos from your Android device.

Voice search for channels.
Also Channel Store access as well.

Impression i7 tablet

I have had someone bring by one of these tablets.

It is one of the $179 tablets you can get at K-mart and the like.

The screen is broken and they want a replacement, but I think that because it is so inexpensive, there are no part suppliers available.

Might be a case of the Gogetanexus7-itis that been going around.

A month...? damn...

When I started this blog, it was with the intentions of posting everyday. Sadly, I have failed to do so.

Lets pick it up a notch...

Control your Roku from your PC

If you want to control your Roku from your PC, I found this web app that will do that.

Remoku Is where you need to go, unless you want to add it to chrome browser

Handy little app.

Blog on the go

Here I am trying out the Blogger app
. Seems to work.

Roku update

According to the official Roku blog Roku 2, Roku LT and new Roku HD players are getting an update. I have a HD (I think) and couldn't get it to force update when I seen the news. I guess I will try again later.

Prevail stuff like prl...maybe boost stuff instead

I have been working on my prevail cause it is mine and I can fuck it up if I want. I have tried to get better signal by changing the prl through cdma workshop. I hear tell that Sprint sold several towers around my area (zip- 30528). I found this app for open signal maps and it show a couple towers nearby, but not the numbers...Where to find good info on local PRLs?

I was also dabbling in the whole flash/change carrier thingy, but apparently THEY don't want you to use a prevail for that...

Prevail

Since I hate cell phones, I recently got my first android (cause I love Google). I found a Samsung Prevail on ebay for $48. So I had to have a case and stuff so here is that stuff, too.

So, for like $60 it is covered, protected and touched. Nice


And, of course, it was rooted in, like, less than four hours. And that includes the time I took to decide to wait until I activated it and completely ignored myself. CTMod seemed like a great rom, but it kept throwing up errors. Now with cm7 (beta I think)...smooth as cannabutter. Just kidding, butter is bad for you.

This post is simply for reference purposes

Interstella 55555

I remember the first time I heard Daft Punk. Around the world came up on MTV2 and I was on the phone with a friend. He was watching it as well. This was before cell phones. Not before they existed, mind you...They just cost a shitload to use. We watched the people dancing around to the beat, almost hypnotized as in 'can't look away'. Since I wasn't into techno I guess they just passed me by.


A few years ago I introduced them to myself via Aphex Twin. I got on a new music kick and I like to feel it so Aphex Twin jumped out at me. Then one day YouTube shuffled around the world in my playlist and I remembered...

Immediately I devoured their entire collection (which isn't officially that much) and found this movie. Then they released Tron Legacy. It was almost cosmically timed. I just found and fell into the top of the line music creators and they let loose their first film score.... Beautiful.

The story is very familiar and the animation is straight out of classic childhood. All of the movies that I couldn't remember the names seem present here. There is no dialog which turns out to be a great way of keeping the characters from overrunning their place. The music is sublime and the story is classic. Any child can watch and enjoy and every parent can rest easy allowing their child to view this wonderful film...

Catching up...

Been awhile...so here I am. I have been slaving away in a hot dish-pit and it has been sucking my life-force. In the between times, I have been rooting phones. I have done a Evo 4G, Captivate, Prevail and something else(but I can't remember what it was). It sure is nice how they all have a different process --- note sarcasm. So it goes without saying I have gotten familiar with both Odin3 and Cdma Workshop...

I have a couple laptops to work on. One is

Plex Media Server

Today Roku posted a link for Rokus pick of the week. It tells aboot Plex media Server, which I happen to have installed. They tell it like it is for streaming media from your pc...but I found it trying to get Youtube on the Roku. Plex does stream media from a local source, but if you are on a windows machine, I find MyMedia works better. Plex does have a workaround for Youtube, though. It pulls it from your pc. If you might have wanted something like that...

Electroma

So my buddy has a Mio Digi Walk C320 and I was like," Lets see what we can do to it...". He said ok, so I started looking. I found something called MioPocket Mini 4.0 (Simple Unlock for GPS Devices)( go here for instructions. I put it on and now it has a lot more functionality. Windows CE. But that's cool The problem is that some files got corrupted and i can't find an original disk for the mio. So Imma try and make iGo8 work and tell him mio doesn't work...Sorry :(

Android apps...

So I just got a evo 4g from my cousin to root. I have never worked on android before because I am a poor bastard. So I got it rooted and now I am trying to figure out what todo with it. In my search to do coool stuff, I start finding remote apps. You know, to control stuff. if you have a Roku go here. If you want to control your windows PC go here. This is the easiest setup I found out of all the remote apps I tried. Oh yeah, and here

is free calling over your wifi or data. :)

RokuChris

So I see here that the Nowhereman Is now an employee at Roku. You Go, dude...but what does that mean for us. Sure this is old news...but I just found out; its new to me.

Roku Private Channels

If you don't already know, Roku Private Channels is a link posting all of them...just check it out. :)

The Nowhere Man is the Man

The nowhere man is a super awesome dude that made some great channels for Roku. I don't see the porn channel, but a google search for nowhere porn should do it. Who doesn't want ten free streaming porn stations? If you want to just add the channel the code is 32ZUX.

Roku & Stuff

So, since I have had the Roku for aboot a week, I think I have found aboot everything...Not quite. Along with free streaming pr0n(which imho is worth the $70)I found a us tv streaming site that works on Roku. It is called USTVNOW.com. After the free registration, I added it to my Roku and Now I am watching 2.5 men on fox. It seems a little buggy, but that could be my internets. (windstream sucks!. But the real test will be Sunday night. Simpsons, ilu...
