    Read before you reply.

    Just to be clear. This has nothing to do with streaming. Edit: Nor OSD monitoring. I'm looking for a way to overlay graphical elements/filters in directx applications, preferably triggered by key presses. The reason for this is that I want my custom key bindings to be reflected by the UI. Any ideas?

    Find something better to do.

    I'm getting a red, seeing as there doesn't seem to be any compelling reason not to. Paying <100 SEK extra for a longer warranty and better supposed reliability is a no-brainer.

    They both run at 5400, and aren't red drives supposed to vibrate less and thereby make less noise? Why would I even consider black when I need it for storage, and low noise?

    I'm interested in buying a 4TB hdd for storage purposes, and I'm looking at the new reds and greens from WD. I'm very sensitive to vibrations and going by my experience with the greens I'm currently using; I'd preferably only have one mechanical drive in my system. So the question is really whether I'd gain anything by going with a green (besides negligible price differences) or lose anything by going with a red? I know that reds are meant for raid, but as far as I can tell the software feature which makes them behave differently, doesn't actually make them unsuitable for standalone use(?), and it's not unthinkable that I might get another in the future for raid 1.

    According to asus-support; the wireless AC module that comes included with some of their upper tier z87 boards is supposed to be compatible with their lower tier boards (pro, expert) as well, but they don't sell them separately and I can't find anyone else who does either. Does anyone have a clue where I might find one or will I just have to keep my eye on ebay?

    I know how annoying it is to find an entirely fruitless thread such as this so I thought I'd at least conclude things. I ended up giving up on the password recovery and settled for my backup. Something which MIGHT be helpful to people without backups tough is a program such as Recuva https://www.piriform.com/recuva. If you like me aborted an already initialized encryption then there's still the possibility that you can recover the files which haven't been encrypted yet. I performed a quick format before initiating a 'deep scan' in Recuva and it's definitely doing its things, so hopefully this'll be helpful to someone.

    We're still talking about numbers in the thousands and while I haven't finalized the criteria yet it's still going to be too long to go over by hand. You bring up a good point though, the process of retrying passwords isn't exactly drawn out so (running the risk of sounding very ignorant) how hard could it really be to make something automated?
  10. Bubben
    I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Yes I need an application that can essentially brute an encrypted volume, BUT it must also defer to an already compiled list of possible passwords, and as I said above; the main hindrance would seem to be that it's the entire drive and not just a part of it that's encrypted.
  11. Bubben
    Before anyone says anything about backups or passwords. Yes I do have a backup but it's not super current. And yes I should take greater care when it comes to these things but all I can say is; 'you live, you learn'. Here's my situation. I've been encrypting a few drives with truecrypt recently and I got reckless with the last one. I initiated the encryption before I left for work and when I came home I realized that the exact password had been buried somewhere in my mind. I paused the encryption (not sure if it maters?) in order to try a few different variations but without any luck. Now, I do remember the gist of it so I should be able to create a reasonable list of passwords with something like PWGen(feel free to suggest other options), but the problem is finding a program or script that could go through it for me. TCbrute seemed promising at first but it's not capable of working with an entire volume as of yet. So the question is whether there are any other utilities or scripts capable of doing just that? If not then would it perhaps be possible to create a script/macro of sorts that could do things a bit more 'straight-up' so to speak? I mean there's a text box and a 'next' button so wouldn't it be possible to automate something? I run w7 but I assume that a bootable usb with linux would work fine if what I need isn't available for windows.

    I think my phone could actually handle two successive workdays now that I have the extended battery, and that's a huge step-up. So much infact that I'm starting to think that something is out of whack with my old battery. Regardless; The extended battery is quite obviously what should've been included from the get go. The phone makes much more ergonomical sense with the extra bulk, and any case that isn't straight up molded plastic should still fit if you take the back cover off so I definitely recommend it

    As I've come to understand it the i9100 doesn't really have proper JB support from rom makers yet, and mhl (which I do require) is finicky at best on JB and ICS both so I'd rather wait until (if ever) the s2 gets some 'stable' JB releases, and start testing different roms then. Things have been running fine since the stock JB release as far as I'm concerned, and the battery issue (that I found out was an actual thing) is supposed to be fixed, so the only thing I feel like I'm actually missing out on by not going with a custom rom is the 'cleanliness'. Things do seem 'cleanable' enough though so I think I'll manage. In conclusion. I got the extended battery and I'll be sticking to the stock release on the latest Siyah beta kernel, for now. Thanks for the replies.

    I'll probably try both ones I find a rom that I like, but better battery life on 4.1 doesn't seem to be the universal experience. I haven't paid much attention to which version my s2 has been running up until recently, but there have definitely been updates that seemed more like one step forward and two steps back. JB has been running nicely though. I'v been looking at the extended battery but I live in sweden so amazon.uk would be the last resort, but I think I'll be able to find it in stock somewhere The reason why I went with rootbox was because it's supposed to be pretty close to vanilla, only with a butt ton of customizability options (including a few from AOKP) and I figured it'd be a good place to start. Which kernel do you use?
  15. Bubben
    First things first; I'm not a phone guy. Onwards. Long story short. I recently rooted my s2 (i9100), things went well and I'm currently running RootBox 4.1 on a CyanogenMod kernel. I like the features and all but I could definitely survive without most of them, especially if it were to get me better battery life. So my question is whether there are any specific roms or kernels I should be looking at for this, and whether or not it might be beneficial to go with ics as opposed to jb?
