Ditto, accept I don't use a site to generate my personal ones, but I do use this site to check them: How Secure Is My Password?

Edit: THere was a site that I used to generate them for clients, but I can't locate the link atm.
 
Does anyone know what happened to Jerry? Is he alright? It's been more then a month since his last post here, and that was his latest post on any forum.

I'd let Chris' comment on using MAC filtering and static IPs as means of WiFi network security slide by as it's OT in this thread. However, when Petrah second MAC filtering, I just had to chime in...

Please read the following articles:

The six dumbest ways to secure a wireless LAN | ZDNet

Wireless LAN security myths that won't die | ZDNet

I've been passing this article on for the last 5 years, and there are evidently still misconceptions regarding WiFi network security today. WPA/WPA2 with a strong password is the only proven secured protection--still hackable via brute force BTW. I personally use WPA2-AES keys that are 63 random printable ASCII characters, which I change at least twice a year, generated via:

Well, i got a few things to change when I get home, thanks for the info, i appreciate it. ;)

But I'm not sure it's exactly off-topic. I asked a question regarding Wifi issues I'm having and someone responded that someone may be stealing my bandwith...
 
I was never all that active there. It just feels like over the past two months or so the OV community has splintered, and at least half have moved on to other phones. I admit I suffer from phone envy. I'd like a more powerful handset, but I know I'll have to content myself with the OV for the next several years.
 
For I think the first time since putting the Backside ROM on my phone, I just tried to move some stuff off the phone's SD card by using the USB cable to connect the phone to my desktop computer. This previously would trigger a process wherein I could choose to have the computer "see" the phone as a storage device. But now, nothing happens except the phone indicates it is charging. Do I need to change some setting to restore this functionality? Or do we lose it altogether with this ROM?

EDIT: never mind. Installed the driver linked in the "Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM" thread and now it works.
 
All the long hours he has put into this ROM since July of last year is deserving of a break.
 
Hi guys:

Do you know if it's possible to disable the green/blue BACKside boot animation where the android is bending over. I have my boot animations disabled but that one I still get. Makes booting my phone very slow after the IHO icon.
 
Ben's right. The first animation in embeded in the kernel. The easiest way around that is to flash a different kernel. I would recommend mgr666's kernel, it's wicked fast.
 
You can also just flash his ROM (MiRaGe CM7.2). I flashed the 7/16 release. You may want to skip the 7/27 because they were testing some changes that I think affected performance and will not be "defaults" in the next release.

I did a clean install and it works great. CPU is 122min and 806max using the interactive governer as recommended by mgr666 and it's really been great.
 
Soooooooo I was wondering, what happened to talk to text?? Its completely gone on my virtual keyboard haha, something I thought would be cool. Didn't notice til I thought about using it and its gone :/

Make sure you have gapps installed and voice search

I figured it out haha, it was voice search, I read google voice somewhere else and installed it and it didn't fix the issue so I figured it had to have been a keyboard issue. Though I did stumble onto a forum saying "google voice 'search'" and then it dawned on me hahaha. Though I have had an issue with gapps forceclosing recently, might be an overclock issue, though I was thinking, why would gapps crash but not final fantasy 3 which I would assume would take alot more CPU to run...
