[Q] Rom to make Captivate like an iPod Touch

We (me, my wife, and oldest son) are going to upgrade our phones soon. We have a couple of Captivates and an Infuse 4G. We have two daughters, ages 5 and 6, who love playing on our phones. We plan on giving the Captivates to them to play their games on, watch videos, listen to music etc. Basically, turn them into iPod Touch type devices. Is there an existing ROM that might be tailored to this sort of use?

Thanks to both of you!

I am running AOKP Milestone 1. Its an extremely stable JB and has all the perks. I am using mine primarily for an MP3 player. All I did was remove the SIM card and its good to go.

Did you get this already, I didn't think they were out? Man i want one of these bad.

For anyone interested. I've had this for over a week. I must say I am highly impressed with this thing. Smaller than I expected. Great sound and no distortion. I'm no audiophile by any means but this little thing rocks. I've had no issues with it connecting to other devices from Ipad, Kindle FireHD, or Ipod. Only thing is the Ipad wouldn't control the audio volume, had to use the hard keys on the speaker. Very happy with the purchase. With shipping it was $126 off of ebay. Shipping was 18.00 from Japan.

I got one of these for my wife and its great. Shipping from Japan took about a week. Its easy even for her, all she has to do is tap it with the NFC. The sound is loud and clear. This is the best accessory I have seen.

There you go, £59.99

Thanks, price bit steeper than was expecting. Was hoping more around the 39.99 mark, but hey its Sony after all! Might have to carry on my hunt to add bluetooth to my iPod dock or get it once xmas is out the way. Just out of interest can you plug it over aux to a larger hifi system?

Guys i just brought this as well, very excited LOL
I was just wondering how loud does this speaker get?

It gets fairly loud, and good sound for such a small device. It's not going to be as good as a stereo system but pretty much everything I need

Is the Logitech the best keyboard to get?

I want a nice sized keyboard to type on,and I don't want a piece of junk either. The only thing that concerns me,is that apparently the web browsing shortcut key does not work on the Nexus due to it using Chrome and not Browser (was this ever fixed,btw?).
Is there any other quality keyboards out there,other than the Apple keyboard?

Almost all major brands have good quality keyboards

One thing that's always kept me going back to logitech has been their kickass return policy, usually no questions asked, and a lot of times your not even required to send in the broken/defective unit. Something to think about.

huh?
i thought it was just the opposite from reading reviews by users. looks like almost all BT Keyboards are loathed.
which one do you think is top gun, and not huge...

I recently ordered the Anker wireless bt keyboard from Amazon. 19.99 with free shipping. I love it and it doesn't look or feel cheap. I'm at work now but I'll take pics when I get home.

I've been using the logitech one this whole semester to take notes. No problems at all, works great. This setup replaced my laptop completely.

i've had it since Monday. Hell yes, i'd buy it again. And i've only used it with my Nexus 7.
I did a review here with pics and stuff.
Hope this helps!

Yeah, i probably should have mentioned that i was looking at BT keyboards.
Wanting to use a wired keyboard on the nexus seems so...goofy...to me....

Friend,
how about lag?
Is it ok?

It is really ok. Streaming videos and other stuff is super quick. Only when playing games such as real racing 3 there is lag and problems with picture sharpness, but I didn't bought it for games. I have samsung keyboard with mouse pad so I wanted to use it as pc. But this with multi widnow makes me angry.

Im gonna have to look into this on my tv.

I have the Verizon note 2 and I just tried it. No it doesn't work. I held down the back button and got nothing on the TV or phone. I turned off cast and worked as normal.
A work around would be nice. I can't imagine why that would be disabled.

Allshare cast is samsungs name for miracast. You can get cheap dongles that support this plus aircast and dlna £24 on ebay

Not for me
I have it and it works great with my daughter's stock Note II.
My Note II with CM; not so much.
At least it was cheap.

I don't really see the need, if you connect to wifi with the phone tv, or blue ray you can stream all day without issue.

Allshare dongle is overpriced. Chromecast is multi platform and thus can be used with all your tablets/smartphones and computers.

not the best sounding, but decent. I like my lg hbs 730 for bike riding. No wires to get in the way and stays on my neck very nicely.

I highly recommend you Philips Fidelio M1BTBL headphone! It's pretty expensive but boy. What a sound. I have 14 different sorts of headphones (I work for a music company) but this is my personal favorite. Battery lifetime is good, the noise reduction is perfect, real good monitoring of high and low ends. And it fits really comfortable!
And of course easy pairing with the m8..

What are you going to be doing with the headphones? Biking running lifting walking ?

I just bought the Motorola S305 headphones, they're $50 at Best Buy, but they will price match Amazon ($35), by far the best deal for the money. Battery life is not that great - 4 hours of talk time (listed specs), music playback is probably a little bit longer. They do charge very fast though. Range also isn't very good from my experience (phone is always in my pocket anyway), but that probably has more to do with HTC Sense which always has some type of issues with bluetooth...but like I said, best deal for the money.

I use it only for biking.

Great thread, I am also looking for he best value bluethoot earbuds to use while running or biking. They all seem pretty expensive, is there on option on the 30-50 bucks that is worth it?
Cheers

Ive also been looking into bluetooth ear buds, for work related reasons its not great to have wires hanging everywhere, Ive been looking at the Plantronics Backbeat go 2's the price doesnt seem too awful and the look to perform like other earbuds

I got these for about $20 AUD recently.
Looks like they sold out at the moment, but I am sure they will get more.
They sound good enough for what I need them for - work phone calls at home and a bit of music. And they come with a pair of detachable ear loops to keep the earphones in your ears while exercising.

I have two pairs of Soul SV3 bluetooth headphones. A lot of bad reviews on Amazon for the earpad covers not being glued on well, but when I got the silver ones they were $40. These are basically knockoffs of Beats, so not for running. One of the many followers that attached a rapper's name to their $200 headphones. These no longer endorsed by Ludacris. Personally I haven't had any problems with the earpad covers. They could've have done a neater job, but they are still glued on after a month of daily use. They have bluetooth 4.0 for better battery life and Apt-X which the HTC One M8 supports for better bluetooth audio. They also have a detachable audio cable and are nicely packaged. Definitely weren't intended to be sold for $40.

I have the Harmon kardon Bluetooth wireless headset, it's completely amazing! The sound is just phenomenal, if your looking for headphones that aren't Beats, these are worth checking out.

The LG Tone Infinims? I have them too, very pricey, but great sound, way better than I ever dreamed I'd get with Bluetooth. Definitely worth the but (though I may buy a pair off eBay and save some money off what I paid at the AT&T store, haven't decided if I wanna risk it yet).

Also got the HK Bluetooth headset. Compared to my urBeats the sound is amazing...
