What dashboard do you use and why?

I mainly use evox but am switching to MXM. Evox is a dry and boring, with MXM i can get news feeds and see preview videos of the games im thinking about playing as i scroll thru the list of them...

mxm is the greatest!!!! avalaunch is coming along very nicely as well. i'm stuck on which on i like better. mxm or ava. mxm is flashy as they come but ava seems to offer more utilities and whistles such as irc and automatic update. anything's better than evox :p

Evox is nice, but it seems that MXM is more fluid... flows together better then Evox... They have the same options in each, but MXM almost seems to be more user-friendly. Install both of them and try it for yourself.

I've never really botherd looking into anything else other then evox, but my mate uses xbmp as a dashboard and it looks a lot better.

I use Evox.

Everybody's going to have a different opinion on this... Personally, I'd rather play games then concern myself over which dashboard is more fluid, flashy, or has newsfeeds. :p

i would like evox 10x more if it didn't load it's own buggy *** IGR in memory. even with it turned off. Take enter the matrix for example. all the problems people have with that game. turn off all 3 igrs and even disable the x2 igr before the game will run right. if you're using avalaunch or mxm as your dash, it works fine and you can still igr back to the dash :tup:

Lets say that you're playing one of your favorite games for the 100th time...you decide to play with a cheat code...you save the level, use the igr, and boot up linux. You then surf the net, get the code you want and start back into your game. Or you feel like listening to internet radio without paying $700 for a new media center reciever...lots of reasons to use the xbox at its full potential.

Just out of curiosity- I have a LPC mod so don't think i can have multiple bios's so could i set avalaunch or mxm from evox (i'm not too keen on replacing evox completely)

As i understand it other than the slightly improved GUI (which don't reall care about), avalaunch can cope with longer filenames right?

Also has the defrag tool been implemented in the latest avalaunch?

nimbles, you can do so much, which mod do you have installed? I'll lead you down the right path once I find that out
