LG G5 AND FRIENDS, AKA Modules! The First Actual Modular Phone?

The LG G5

This... This is the LG G5, and it has modules, Extra battery, Camera, and more.
Basically the LG G5 is the first look at a modular phone, but nothing we expected as of before. Honestly it looks like a nice Nexus 6P or Nexus 5P but with LG Accessories, and skinned software. This leaves room for way better camera modules from your favorite brands like Nikon, Canon, and Sony. Allthough a Sony camera is nothing new to Android devices, they have carried just about the best camera thus far. This leaves tons of more room for custom roms, and software, but will need to include all of the drivers, framework or flashables for the extras.

My Thoughts

The only thing I worry about now, is does this leave room for LG to release the device with parts that are subpar, just to get the consumer to spend more money on the modules? I've seen somewhere the modules will cost more than $150 depending on the branding, and module you are looking to upgrade. This is by far NOTHING like Project Ara, but it's a start to give us more of an idea. Honestly the device looks pretty good, given it looks like an alien tool for probing, but LG has always been great at this (Starting with the LG G2). All in all, I will review the final product, but will probably not waste my time or money on the modules.. For now.

Also, Thanks to anyone who has stayed tuned this far, I know I have off and on times, but I always do come back to talk about my favorite devices or anything that intrigues me. Soon I want to start up a Youtube channel, but I'm still a bit camera shy. Writing is getting pretty old though, I can write, and make videos, a vlog with a blog is always good.

Thanks for reading, please share my content! Thanks!

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in The Ryzen family of AMD's processors are here, and they're great so far. So I got my hands on one finally, so this is my Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in. First Glance This is great, AMD has finally phased out the FM2 and AMD3 sockets! It has been WAY overdue, and finally a new board and alignment has hit the market. What this means is, there can be more transistors, and components put onto the chip, which means in return, better performance. It looks beautiful, in terms of it being just a component for a computer, which is just basically a cluster of a lot of components together, as one big machine! Specs The Ryzen 7 1800X comes stock with the core clock at 3.7GHz with 8 Cores, and 16 Threads. Also including 16MB of L3 Smart Cache. The core clock can also be turbo up to 4.0GHz with an unlocked motherboard. So far so good. Stock Performance With Cinebench R15 I got a nice score of 1

Playing with the Galaxy S2 SGH-I777

Playing with the Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 I had a generous person just give me a couple of Galaxy S2's and S3's, However I took immediate interest in the Galaxy S2's, and made one good one out of all the parts. The phone was still a virgin, and still on Gingerbread, thats what interested me so much about it, however that did not last very long. I updated it to the 4.1.2, rooted, and installed Carbon ROM. Very smooth, I could safely say I would rock this phone as a daily driver, if I did not have a newer phone. Is it sad that this phone is rather aging, but I still dig the design? I miss the full set of buttons on the bottom as well. The only thing I don't miss about these old LCD's is the burn ins that majority of the used S2's have, however this one is minimum. YAY! With that being said, What ROMs do you recommend for this good ol' boy? Leave your comments, questions, what have you......

First Ever Cyanogenmod Phone! Oppo N1

First Ever Cyanogenmod Phone! Oppo N1 I know what you're thinking if you're an Android Guru like myself. "My phone runs Cyanogenmod! So how is this the first one!?" Let me put it this way... Cyanogenmod actually will come on this phone as the Stock rom. Which phone is it I'm talking about you ask? Oppo N1! Oppo is a brand of cellular phones, and the N1 is the device. The Oppo N1 will be the first phone to ever come with Cyanogenmod out of the box. As there are 2 editions of the Oppo N1, Cyanogenmod Edition, and Color OS edition, If you happen to get a Color OS edition of the N1, you can head to Oppo's site and download Cyanogenmod for this phone. This Cyanogenmod does not disable the features of any sort on this device. Why the word of features? This phone has 37 Patents all by its lonesome self. O-Click is a little remote that you can click to take a picture without even touching your phone! O-Touch is the back panel of the phone,
