The only difference between the stock 2.1 lockscreen and the one on the X seems to be that they've given the X a flat, non-clear texture. It does look nice, but, is there any way I can get the original look of the bars back? I love the circular icons this version uses, but the way the bars look like they're sort of folded when you pull them out bugs me.
Does anyone know where I can find the original images, so that I can edit the normal framework-res and get that back? I know there's a metamorph theme that does that for the Eris, but I'm 99% sure that such a thing wouldn't work on the X.
Hi,
My flatmate have just bought the same phone as me (fu**er!) which is Galaxy SII.
I wonder if you have any ideas on how to distinguish the front of the phone, so I don't have to check if I grab the right one every time. No gay rubber cases are even considered.
I was thinking about setting an off screen clock for my phone (I don't give a flying f**k about battery life), but I couldn't find one. Would it be a hard app to write? Just a little clock in the corner (like the one in notification bar) with brightness set to lowest.
Have you got any ideas, because for now the best one I've got is a small sticker ;/
Thanks guys
Hi all, just bought a Chuwi V88 Titanium Ice Green tablet and I was wondering if I can use V88/V88s roms for it?
Because for over 2 and a half years this is my first post, I can't post straight to the rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310818
Found an answer elsewhere: Maybe.

Can someone confirm this please?
I've not tested any custom roms yet on mine. I'm still in the phase of growing a pair of balls because I'm too afraid of bricking it.
I'll give it a try right after someone confirms the roms made for classic v88 do work, or when I'm done waiting. Not sure if this little experiment with roms is worth £120.
The main problem is that like 3 people own this thing. Or at least the other ones do not post about it on the forums.
Haha, I understand what u mean.
There is the risk of bricking it, on youtube there is a vid showing how to unbrick a classic v88 shortening a couple pins on the pcb.
But again i'm not sure if this will work on the green version.
I dont know much about customizing firmware, but it would be great if a power optimised rom would work on it.
I will receive my new v88 at the end of this week and will see if i can root it to start with.
I was also hoping someone with more knowledge would have tried it. But like you say, seems like not many people own it yet.
It's starting to look like the custom roms might work after all! I'll wait for the latest CM10.1 rom before flashing.

Yeah, rom developer Oma confirmed that the hardware is the same and custom roms should work. Now it's just waiting until he releases that rom I've been waiting for.
It's now rooted, so atleast that worked. I had few problems when and after rooting and that's why I don't have that high hopes for a successful flashing.
Hello guys my first post in XDA although I kept track of Oma's thread for a while! Does anyone have any more news about the Titanium Ice model and custom roms? And one more question a little bit off topic but as you said very few people own it so maybe someone of them is around . I found the V88 in Music World seller from aliexpress claiming to have a black version of the V88 with OGS screen. Is this the Titanium Ice green model or something new? How can I know when I buy it?

I'm still waiting for Oma's CM10.1 Edition with phabletUI and multiuser support.
Just checked out that black OGS and it seems to be the same as the green one. At least specs are the same. Beware though, there seems to be some sort of problem with screen responsiveness at least with these Ice Green models. It's possible and even likely they've fixed that in newer models.
Somehow I managed to scratch my OGS screen. Actually there's three deep scratches. I don't know where or when this happened, but one thing's for sure: the screen does not exactly have Gorilla Glass' toughness.

I think the OGS is not gorilla glass its just a better screen than normal IPS but does not provide extra protection. I think I read somewjere about the problem with screen resposiveness...I think I'll just go with the V88S because there is not much info around for Titanium Ice. Thanks for the response!

Yeah, that's what I actually meant. It's far from Gorilla Glass' toughness. Although the screens do not have anything in common, I'd expect some sort of scratch protection these days. Maybe the extra layer in Classic V88/V88s protects the screen better, because I've not seen any similar complaints.
The "black" v88 from Music World seller on aliexpress is actually the Ice green version. I know because its the one i have.
bnhmmr, my screen has a screen-protector pre-applied. Its difficult to see, but there is a very thin plastic protector on top of the screen.
I think the scratches you made are on this plastic layer and not in the actual glass.
You can check by looking close to the border of the screen.

You're right, thanks for pointing this out! I thought I had peeled it off the first time I got my hands on it but that've must been the one with logos and some specs. Phew!
Responsiveness is still an issue even without screen protector applied.
Thank you guys. I think I'll go for the V88s then...seems there is more support for ROMs and less problems reported about the Wi-fi and screen responsiveness. I will have to sacrifice that 1 GB extra of RAM, better cameras and thinner design .

No probs! I think the rom support is the same for all v88(s)'s, but wifi and screen issues might be a deal breaker for someone. In daily use I rarely have any problems with neither one of those.
And the cameras are bad also in this OGS.
A new version of CM 10.1 with phabletUI is out . So you mean that all the OMA's ROMs work for the Titanium Ice green version? Has anyone tried that?

It's still an alpha version. I'm waiting for at least a beta with the few issues fixed the current version suffers. Someone confirmed that Oma's roms work and Oma himself confirmed they have the same hardware.
Can i install any CMW on a 2nd generation Chuwi v88?
Since the market for nexus 4 docks near me is pretty much non-existent, I made myself a charging station out of LEGOs! Hope you like it! I'll post a pic of it with my nexus 4 in place soon, I don't have another phone or a camera to take a picture of it with my n4 soo, yeah.
P.S.: If you're wondering how I made my nav bar and status bar like that, I used gravity box for that.
Now with phone!!
Quite a bit talk these days about burn-in's on pixel 2 xl, just something i've been thinking about, I already know where the nav buttons are from muscle memory, why not just have them not displayed?
Like just have a pure black bar at the bottom lol.
I've been looking at the playstore but i've not seen any themes that do that.
I would be interested in this just for looks.
