Hey guys! I'm posting here because I'm not big into the subject and couldn't think of a better group of geniuses to ask. I have an Xbox 360 (Pro I believe, not the newest models) in my upstairs bedroom. I don't have cable TV and only put it there to stream videos from my NAS. My problem is the "system video player" kind of sucks and the Xbox doesn't play "every" format I have. I've had this Xbox for years, never play games online, and have only played Forza single player. Hell, I let my friend borrow it for over 2 years before I remembered I owned one. What I'd like to do is hack this thing to install something similar to XBMC (like I have on my laptop downstairs). I don't care if I'd never be able to login to Live or play games on it again. Am I out of luck with this piece of capable hardware? I'm gonna try to sell it on Craig's list or just chuck it in the trash if I have no options. Any help or links to useful sites would be great. Please keep in mind I have no desire to use "play to" or a Windows PC in conjunction with my Xbox.
Search Google for Xbox 360 hacks, simple as that.

Wow. You must be some sort of genius. Off topic is good enough for me. I did some searching, but just about everything I found is in some way defunct.

Check here. I'ved done a couple for my friends but boards are hard to come by. I'm actually using a old 60GB iPod I had laying around. You can use a bunch of other stuff too. I've also tried it with my Palm Pre, Evo, and a friend's G1. The list of things able to jailbreak the PS3's are growing everyday. Just can't update past 3.41 I think and can't play online but I always used the 360 for gaming anyway. PS3 was strictly Blu rays and streaming but since the jailbreak I have actually played a few games.
Just go to game stop and buy used games. Or if craigslist don't work search for game stores in your area. Where abouts in the US do you live?

So I really haven't seen anything like this, so I figured I would start one.
Now, I know I'm not the only person on here who plays so post your gamertag for xbox or psn id of you are on ps3, like me.
Mine is dj-vanilla-bean
Hit me up with a friend request if you want to play. I usually play domination but I am always open to other games haha.
If we get enough people together we can start a clan too.

yer i've done it. its quite fun actually. just make sure you are not paying for any of the brewing softwares because it is supposed to be free. google 'wiibrew'
Uhm letterbomb is the best bet.
Mine is homebrewed, with gecko os and stuff like that installed.

Follow that link and watch videos 1 through 3 and you will be soft modded and ready to go with everything that involves a modded Wii, such as playing burned games or games backed up on an external HD and installing a variety of homebrew apps.

This is without a doubt the single best program to run on a virgin Wii and get it up and running via soft mod. First link will be to the author's page and the 2nd is the Support Forum from where the program originated. XFlak is an insanely knowledgeable and helpful poster on that site...

yes, softmodded my wii, just make sure you do Not have any kids around while softmodding because if they turn off the light while it is being modded it can brick your will, this almost happened to me,(my neighbor's child) almost turned off the light.
Yeah I've softmodded a Wii before. Not that hard actually. Obviously easier than rooting a phone.
(Darn, why did I necropost! Shoots!)
Ok so Christmas is sneaking up on me and I'm thinking of getting my son (almost 3) one of these cheap android tabs. I was thinking of the innotab or leap pad but for its price i feel an android tab would do so much more and would be something he wouldn't grow out of in 6 months time.
So does any one on here know any good child mode apps i could use if i get him one? I wouldn't want him destroying the tab by changing all the settings and buying apps and sending emails to people etc.
I'd like an app that would boot into kids mode upon start up and that would be easy for him to access basic things like games and camera and coloring apps etc etc..and ideally a function where i could monitor his usage and see his progress in games and drawing...
Please help
Ps: for the people that think I'm mad, i am. Don't judge me for giving him a tab. I won't get an expensive one and even if i did, it's my money so no criticism please!

You can't just use any one of the several "kiddy" launchers already in the market?
It took me 3 seconds to find this one with many more available.

Can't help it!! Guy, he is barely three!!! Get him tonka truck or legos!! If he is anything like my three year old, he will have more fun with the box it came with then the tablet.

+1 Why can't people let kids grow up at a normal speed, rather than trying to magically make them become a geek by the time they're 5? Kids spend far too long staring at television as they grow up, give him something that will get his imagination working and get him outside in fresh air.
Yeah ive seen one i like the look of called kytephone. I found that one here on xda.
I was mainly after opinions on what people use for their child. And what they liked about it.
And although he's only 3 he's very clever like his daddy lol and it will hopefully stop him using my note.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Edit: this thread isn't going as i hoped. I will not stick him in front of the tv all day nor will he have access to this tab 24/7.
We do play outside, we do have fun that don't involve technology so what's the harm in him earning an hour or two tab time?
I'm after advice not criticism so can we get back on topic or shall i close the thread?
Thanks
You should probably get him something like this.

I agree with the earlier thread.....
I just bought all 4 of my kids the nabi2. It is sporting tegra3 processor etc..... very rugged. $199. I even play games on it. Extremely easy to root. My oldest is 14. He even likes it. Mainly because he doesn't have to worry about breaking it.
It has nabi mode. In it you control content etc.... and "mommy mode" is just your basic ICS.
Check it out.
Thanks for the replies guys!
As for the haters, yes he will be in nursery, yes he will play out side, i don't lock him in his room and feed him through a hatch!
He's 3, he's clever and if he behaves he earns a reward which will be playing on the tab. It's my money, my child, my house and my rules.

Me on Wednesday: Oh man! I’m going to be so productive this weekend! I’m going to work on all of my side projects!
Me on Saturday: Screw side projects! Lets re-watch all of Breaking Bad!
Do you ever wonder how much time you’ve spent watching TV shows? It’s probably a lot. But how much?
Two week’s worth? A month?
This tool crunches the numbers for you. Punch in a show you’ve watched, then how many seasons you’ve seen. It’ll tell you how much of your life each show gobbled up — and, more painfully, it’ll add up the total time across all your shows.
Have you seen every episode of Friends? That’s 5 days.
Sat through Lost twice? That’s another 3 days each.
Mad about the last thirty minutes of How I Met Your Mother? That’s okay — you spent 4 days of your life getting there, after all.
Don’t get me wrong: I love me a good TV show. I’ve watched all of the aforementioned shows in entirety at least once, and generally have a random episode of some show or another playing in the background while I work. But damn, does it add up quick.
As John Lennon is often (falsely?) quoted: “Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted.”
But he also, you know, started the freaking Beatles. No one on the planet can accuse you of wasting time after that.
Screw it. I’m going outside to build a shed or something.
>“Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted.”
good saying
I'm guessing when it says days it means 24 hours. Well it doesn't sound like a lot when you put it that way. When really Lost took me years to watch.

I personally don't want to know how much time I've already wasted, because I believe it's way too much

In certain places in Europe, not sure about other places, you have to pay a TV license fee to own a TV and watch broadcasts.

The BBC is funded by licence payers, not advertising. It means we actually have some say in the way our television is run and we also don't have to watch adverts immediately after the opening credits of a TV programme, and then every 10 minutes after that (on BBC at least). We do have other channels with advertising though. The BBC is still considered one of the best broadcasting companies in the country, for this very reason.
Owning a device that means you can watch BBC television programmes means you need to own a licence too. It is simply paying for something.
