"Update, 11:40 a.m. PT: Motorola told CNET that it won't unveil a new device but that this is a Facebook game meant to engage Motorola fans by having them guess which current smartphone this is."
 
Yeah I was hearing that last night, Dread. I have my opinions, which I will not share. ;)

RS, excellent RSRSS. The BofA one is a lifesaver for me, you have NO idea! Time to see if it works ;)
 
Well looks like the app hasn't been updated yet with that feature. But this will save me a ton of time, as my wife does Arbonne and Premier Jewelry so we get a lot of checks, and the closest BofA is 30 miles away from our house. (We have a ton of other products with them, and except for depositing checks, I do all my banking online, also the branch IS near where I work, but I always have to use my lunch break to go to the bank).
 
I don't even have a physical bank. :eek:
Ha, they have allowed scanning of checks at home to deposit for several years now. Pretty neat. Fortunately, it's rare we actually had to do it. Had a ton from the wedding, and that was a serious pain. I actually double scanned one, bank deposited it and then sent me a "fun" letter letting me know of my screw up. ;)

My brothers wife's water broke last night at 2:45 am, so what does a person due while they are waiting for news...flash 3.2,lol. Baby is not here yet but 3.2 is nice. Will see how the battery does on this Kernel, otherwise I may have to join Captain on Franco. Good Morning all!

Oh, you'll have to ask her about that one. ;)
Welcome to the Watering Hole btw.

EDIT: Does anyone else here have an MD5sum for this stuff?

Here's what I come up with:

ROM: 3f545b8568f015b6042d43202da1d94a
GAPPS: d1b54045b026ec777c140c1bb8400e08

If you have the same thing, we're good. If you have something different, then ONE of us has a problem :eek:
Click to expand...

Chief, I will check mine, just tell me how.
 
Well, you can check it in Astro once it's on the phone. Long-press the file name, select "Details" and wait for the MD5 to be calculated at the bottom of the Details window.

There is a great little free Windows program called WinMD5. It will quickly check MD5s. I have the .exe installer, let me see if I can move it to my Dropbox folder.

EDIT: Here you go...

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jezhl8v3mi778v6/14HiRICsh7

Just extract the program and save a shortcut on your desktop. A VERY useful little booger :D
 
Thanks, Chief, I'll take a look into it. Also, I've noticed that Chrome does not like the downloads from CNA (not sure if it's the source site or what). Usually bugs out towards the end and tells me that it may be a dangerous file. I have to switch over to FF to get it to download. Still on 3.1 but have nothing else to do this morning so perhaps I'll flash it. Changelog looks nice. Never used Trebuchet launcher, but willing to give it a shot.

This is what I'm getting with your program:

:confused:

Chrome downloaded it like a champ for me. Huh. Then again, I'm on Win7, that MAY make a difference, I don't know. Not the source, though.

I've never heard of Trebuchet either. All my homescreens are set up with Apex; I think I'll just keep them that way...

And I will finally be able to change the nav button colors! WOO HOO! :D
 
On Win7 myself. Weird, I try to launch that link to FF to download and it just hangs and never loads the site. Looks to be the same but Chrome decided to rename it an "Unconfirmed" download. MD5 is the same, but I'm a little wary to flash it. Maybe I'll try downloading it directly from my phone.

Downloaded it no problem on my phone. MD5 looks to be the same. I'll give it a shot. And yeah, I'll make a backup. ;):)

Backup is ALWAYS a good idea...

I have blue nav buttons! It's ROM nirvana! :D

Working splendidly... I had to select Apex and "Always" and redo my widgets. No big deal. Five minutes and I'm back in business!
