  • I Need To Play Games(!) April 2013 Edition

    Recently, I have been able to spend money this month on a couple of games. Some of which I got cheaply and a game that a friend recommended to me.

    And then there is some games that I have purchased before Christmas and I have hardly played and I would like to play and then there is a game that I want to finish!

    The games that I -need- to play this month.

    Bioshock: Infinite – I bought it because it was cheap and it looked so good compared to Bioshock 1,2 which I personally didn’t like, so that is why I purchased it.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 MP – I just want to get back into CoD, but the community is killing the game (Surprise, surprise hahaha)

    Cities in Motion 2: A friend told me to pick this up. It’s like SimCity but just public transportation. Have yet to fully get into it.

    Civ V: I HAVE to sit down and play this game. A lot of people that I have talked to have said that the game is great and that I should spend my time playing that.

    TERA: I am playing this A LOT! and I don’t think I will stop playing this. I just don’t have that much time in the evenings while I am working to play the game.

    Trackmania 2: Stadium – I have played a lot of this game ever since I bought and then for no reason, I stopped playing. I don’t know why. I would like to get into a routine, where I am playing TM2 every night as a habit along with TERA.

    Unity of Command: I just need to play that game and that is that.

    What are you plaything this month, if anything? Let me know in the comments 🙂

  • “Codename Lungo” to “Avatar ROM”

    (OH shi-, a technology related post)

    A couple of weeks ago, I decided to jump ship from the Cyanogenmod 9 install on my Samsung  Galaxy S II to try out Jelly Bean. I looked around XDA-Developers looking for a decent ROM that I could install and try out.

    I found one called “Codename Lungo” and for the most part, I enjoyed it. It was a plain Jelly Bean install and there wasn’t anything fancy about it, that is what I was looking for. So, I spent the best part of a afternoon installing all the apps that I had previously used on the CM9 install. After about a hour or grabbing apps and configuring them, I noticed something strange.

    “System Storage Space running low..”

    WHAT?! This fresh install of Codename Lungo that I just installed, says that my phone memory is running low. But the thing is, I wiped the ENTIRE phone before installing Codename Lungo.

    I thought at first it was just a fluke, so I turned the phone off and on again and yet it still happened. Then over the next few days and up to last Saturday, I couldn’t get any emails on my phone and i couldn’t update any apps….it just wasn’t happening.

    So, where am I going now? Well, I am downloading Avatar ROM from XDA-Developers and I am going to do ANOTHER full complete wipe and I will make sure that the only thing that is on my device before I install is the ROM and the Gapps .zip that I need to install.

    I will probably make another post with the results that I find either later today or later this week.

    What ROM are you running on your device? A custom or a Stock ROM? If you are running a custom ROM, which one is it and link to it in the comments.

    UPDATE: I have installed Avatar ROM and have downloaded all the apps that I needed and I am only using 589MB~ out of the 2GB. So there WAS a problem with Codename Lungo all along. Ah well, at least I can use my phone again the way it should be. 😀
