Chit Chat! / [Teardown] Bought a MyPhone 5S and extracted some data :-)

« on: May 03, 2014, 12:14:58 PM »

Hello, dear users. Yesterday I bought a MyPhone 5S, and I really got surprised with the new technologies incorporated. It's crazy, if you balance your phone, you can see the icons as 3D. So weird.

Now 4G LTE is working as expected, no more lags while looking for something at Oogle or watching a video in Janus.

There are some useless features, however. I can't understand how a SCS Chip (Spectral Correction Signal) would be useful. As we are expecting a ghost cut our calls, is it? Hahahahahahahahaa

Anyway, doing some rooting I noticed there are some undesirable customization layers imposed by Tomo Wireless. However, the wallpaper looks great, so I've extracted the original MPK file and got it for you. Now you can have the MyPhone 5S wallpaper into your phone, at least until the new model has to be announced soon.

Enjoy. :-)

Chit Chat! / Permission for a specific "IP" idea?

« on: February 20, 2014, 09:17:31 PM »

As said previously, I'm writing a magical novel and I would like to add "Tomo" as an easter egg. (Using it as a spam or Internet Service Provider wink).

Can I, pleeeeeeeaaaaseee?

Chit Chat! / Think Blackwell (Or how to be out of ideas for a test)

« on: December 04, 2013, 08:04:02 AM »

In my last Narrative Writing test, one of the objectives was to create a newspaper article about a poor man finding something valuable. C'mon, look at the name of the reporter... Joseph Mitchell.

This is the evidence when I haven't ideas, I take the first thing it comes to my mind.

Chit Chat! / I would like to be a Beta Tester

« on: July 25, 2013, 06:06:50 PM »

Since the age of 16 I liked the idea of helping developers to make better products looking for bugs. When I have the chance to get into a Feedbackable beta product I'm there. Even the last year I dropped intentionally every app at the university, as a way to help Programming Students with the Software Fair prototypes.

I would like to help testing products in WadjetEye Games. The only problem is, I'm in Chile.

Chit Chat! / I'm Feeling Lucky

« on: July 13, 2013, 01:47:30 AM »

I'm just writing a book that involves a lot of elements from videogames, stories, movies and more...

To get inspired, I've installed a copy of "Blackwell Convergence" and I've used Oogle just for fun.

My "I'm Feeling Lucky!" with the keyword "Dave Gilbert" gives me one result:

"President of the Jetsetting Millionaire Playboys of New York club."

+Dave, you're so funny

Hi, Dave.
I wanted to ask if you have a copy of the Playground SDK 5.0, I can't download anymore from the PlayFirst Developer site, I don't lose anything if I ask you this.

Emerald City Confidential / Start a Petition to PlayFirst to give back ECC to WadjetEye

« on: October 15, 2012, 06:46:50 PM »

I think the idea of PlayFirst to focus only in the development of Mobile Platforms is so bad: They're leaving too much PC/Mac users without support. Also, they're bringing some PC/Mac-only titles to their extinction, and I think ECC could be one of them.

Dave deserves the rights to keep the sources of ECC, if PF doesn't need it anymore. My idea is to start a petition (Using Avaaz-like online tools) directed to PF, asking for the rights of the game be returned to Dave Gilbert. No more. No less.
