My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

Hi everyone, this is about overclocking my n900 to 'own' my friend and his Evo. I know there are many threads out there about overclocking the n900, and how to do it.

I'll be completely honest, I am looking for someone to spoon-feed my lazy 4$$ info about the different 'kernels'/builds, and what I should and shouldn't do. Please, know what the heck you are doing and talking about.

Maybe we can do it in PMs? Email? In this thread?

Thank you :)

man you are insecure... what about not trying to own someone in the first place?

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

Not insecure, don't worry :) Just friendly competition, and an excuse to abuse my phone.

you remind me of my friend and his iphone and me we do the same thing for kicks i always win

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

What are you going to own him in? I don't get it... Like browser speed or what?

I clearly understand why you would want to (its fun!), but they don't even run the same OS so how are you going to compare stuff?

Dont be a ****** and google it or use the Wiki everyone else has to so why should you be an exception.

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

Erm... ask him how his phone would work overseas perhaps?

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

show you can run 32 apps at once that's how i break there smug

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

Show him physical keyboard and do a video chat through google or skype

Here's the most used guide around: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=774

But there are some other threads with other overclocking kernels. Good luck let us know how it works out for you!

Just show him the huge Nokia sign on the side of the phone, then tell him to Google it so he know's who the true king of smartphones are :). Nokia run's the world in phone sales....well last time I checked they did :/....but ya run a skype video chat and watch him cry...then go to the web browser and pull out the mouse and highlight some thing lol.

Just don't challenge him to a front camera quality test. I already tried that challenge against the Evo and got laughed at by the three spectators.

Yeah for sure. US people have /got/ to stop buying into CDMA. It is holding you back and so the rest of us.

Better of putting your dollars into a gsm network even with poorer coverage so CDMA can go the way of the dodo finally.

.... install itrecco (the ifra red thing) and use your phone as a TV remote controller

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

study well, work hard, do things smart... own him in what matters.

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

I'm sorry but this is exactly the reason I won't own an N900.

I am not on, nor do I ever intend to be on GSM.

I love my Sprint/CDMA service.

And I don't travel outside of the US.

So for me, my little Samsung Moment and my N810 are a great pair.

For what it's worth, I would be interested in the EVO due to many things. My biggest issue with the Moment is the small screen size.
However, I have really settled into the idea of carrying two separate devices.

Just my opinion...

Forgot to mention the price point of the N900 is now beyond ridiculous. With so many devices that pretty much all do the same thing, the EVO at $200 with that much screen real estate allows people to step into the smartphone game and get alot for their money.

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

I would try and sync your N900 with your computer. No phone can compare to the N900 when it comes to syncing to a pc. No, i'm being serious.

Also, I would start playing a podcast or video and then close the media player and reopen it. Just to show them how the N900 remembers playback position in the media player.

Those are just some of the basic things that the N900 can't do properly out of the box.

Don't talk about pwning someone until your phone can do the basics.

Just whip out you d*ck. Surely, that'll shut him up.

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

Challenge him to a duel, with your missile shaped n900 as your weapon against his anorexic Evo you will show him who's the boss

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

Hehe, seriously maybe playing PS emulator on an over clocked n900 with Sixaxis might be impressive.

Use GIMP from easy debian and create something which says your n900 owns or something.

And then boot up Android on your device after.

Plug in your TV, fire up a gaming emulator. When he complains a Nintendo does the same, power up your audio system and fire up the FM transmitter. If he still complains, ramp up the volume until you can't hear him, keep playing. Wait for him to get upset and leave. Next time you meet, ask him for a rematch. Repeat until silenced.

download mypaint and show him precise , preasure sensitive drawing and painting the best use of a resistive screen ever:D

Re: My friend just got an HTC Evo... Help me own him.
 

Use ctrl+shift+X, the best combination for geeks. ;)
And show him VLC!

Open a bottle of Heineken using the kickstand and offer him the drink
