I miss my grass! - General Topics

I really liked the 'grass' live wallpaper on my N1. Now I have a galaxy nexus, and I really miss it.

Lol. I had that phone too. That was a cool wallpaper.
Also, I guessed wrong when I read the title ;P

Such a misleading title ....

did anyone actually picture grass, instead of the other meaning lol

I expected this thread to be closed pretty quick, till I saw what it is actually about

[Replacement Dialer]

Hey all,
I have been hunting for a dialer to replace HTC's attempt. Although there are some great attempts here in the forums they didnt give me what i wanted, which was a full size calling image of the caller (480x800) and a much cleaner dialer in general.
I did how ever stumble across Iconsoft dialer for WM 5 and 6 which does give these and alot more. The short cuts are also very attractive but I am trying to figure out how to alter the rigistry to use the Iconsoft app for contacts as default, so if anyone knows please let me know.
The app isnt free but is worth every penny in my eye as makes my phone just that bit different. this can be downladed as a 15day trail also. There are some other themes for the dialer on the site.
I have been using for a few days now and havent had any trouble with it or speed problems its is pretty solid. Hope this helps some people out with finding a new dialer.
Please feel free to post any other dailers you come across, but keep it to dialers only!

P.s Many thanks to all the DEV's for there great work here on XDA. Our phones would be very boring with out you!
Phone Extension Images
Here are the images i figured it out, didnt see the attachments thingy!
Looks like another iTurd knock-off...
Everyone to there own........
But please dont write pointless comments about stuff you have never tried!
Actually I have tried this(an older version) and I felt the same way then as I do now.
Pointless post or not, look at it. If I wanted an iPhone, I would have bought one.
BUT..... You're right. To each their own.

And lots of people like the iphone look anyway, silly to not have something you like just because it "looks like an iphone" screen

Samsung Transform - Please Create Section

I have gotten a chance to play with the Samsung Transform.
Let me tell you it’s like a mini HTC EVO.
Once we get all the bloat ware off of it it’s going to be a great phone.
Great alternative if you don’t want an evo with the premium data plan.
I have a rooted EVO and i love it but i rarely use 4G.
I just got one today as well. Can we PLEASE get a Transform section?
I was really excited to get one of these (no $10/mo 4G charge) but I went to the Sprint store and used the demo. Choppy, choppy, choppy. It confused me so I looked into it and it turns out that - according to Sprint via Endgadget - the CPU lacks OpenGL acceleration. If this is true, it's either a grave oversight or an evil manipulation by Sprint/Samsung.
I look forward to seeing what can be done with this phone - it deserves its own section for sure - but first impressions are that this phone needs a lot of help.

The one I tried at the Sprint store was incredibly choppy as well. The Sanyo phone that just came out with Froyo ran a lot better in store. When I got my Samsung Moment I didn't use Sprint ID and it ran loads better than the one in the store. I also changed to Launcher Pro and now it's zippy.
bump cmon we need a section...
Yes please, so we can have developers talk about root!
This is a great device and a very nice upgrade from the hero. I forgot how much I missed having a physical keyboard. I also put on launcher pro and it seems very responsive. However, it could use some tweaks - for sure...
bump................
I will bump as well:
I have always relied on xda for my phone altering needs and I love this site... I just got a Transform which is missing 2 things in my opinion, android 2.2 (coming this year maybe?) and it's own section on xdadevelopers.
If any mods are reading this I am including my vote for a new section to be added for this phone.
Thank you!
Go to sdx-developers I'm sure they can help...not many transform owners or devs here since most people with sprint have an evo, epic, or hero
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I think we need a section for the transform also....
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php#c24
Those guys have a Transform section. As a matter of fact most of what they do is Samsung phones.
Wait, wait, wait! Are the XDA-Developers going to let another site steal the limelight??? Noooooo! Come on, do it for ME! LOL I have used this site for over a year now with several different devices and can honestly say there is no better site or community. I also know that some of the devs are on more than one site, which is totally fine. Create the section so some of the sdx devs can post their work here as well.
I have an Evo and even that phone wasn't perfect to begin with. It was XDA-Developers who made it the glorious and sexy thing my Evo is today. The Transform suffers from bad development, and all it needs to be a great phone is the same thing - XDA-Developers! Let's get this device up to speed!
I'm getting my wife a Transform on Black Friday (free that day only at Radio Shack) and really want to be able to use xda for both our phones.
Come one, I'm begging you! Seriously! I'm on my knees typing this, tears streaming down my cheeks! The ones on my face, um, not the other ones. But I'll do that too if it'll get us a Transform section!
+1 we need a transform section. I have a G2, but my dad just got a Transform. I don't know if it's cause I'm used to the G2 monster but good hell this phone is SLOW and preloaded with so much garbage. Seems to me that theres not much in the department of rom's for Samsungs in general, I can't find any that I like on a Vibrant either.
Does anyone know of a working flashlight app for the transform?? When does it get the OTA? I read that it will get 2.2 last quarter of 2010 but that didn't happen. My dad is getting extremely mad at his phone, and it's issues that FroYo Fixed on my phone.
Yes We Do Need A Transform Section....
I Couldn't agree more that we need a transform section... I don't own one myself but I put my GF's Sister on my plan and got her a Transform. Now I know SDX already has a Transform section BUT There are quite a few people out there who don't know about SDX and I really thought XDA was trying to be all inclusive... Hell we got a Evo_Shift section like the day after the phone dropped so IDK if we are going to get a Transform section here, Also I know there are Issues that people who are willing to dedicate their time 2 keeping up with the forum (IE moderators) and honestly it seems like when the Mods start slacking the forum goes 2 crap, look 2 the Epic Forms and you'll see what I mean, But yeah I was really let down when I brought the Transform 2 my house and was getting ready to root it, ROM it up and Possibly get sum themes going, See where they were at with speeding it up and doing it big, yet I spent 5 min on XDA before I realized that I would be creating a SDX account, To this day I don't understand why the Transform is so overlooked, Maybe its because the Moment and Intercept were such fails... yet they both have sections here, Who Knows. I just thought I would throw in my .02 on this as I really don't get why the transform hasn't seen much love even tho it has loads of potential I guess In the mean time it will continue 2 be overlooked...
Please read the latest announcement. by our administrator, it addresses the part about getting a new section added.

screen capture built in!

apologies if this was already posted...
pretty cool little feature.
I read about this earlier. This is something that should have been implemented long ago. The usefulness is questionable, but every once in a while you just want to show something to someone that was on your screen. I wonder why Cyanogen hasn't implemented this.
Pretty cool.

Light reading

Dont want to start a Thread on you know what..
and dont even want to mention it..
As it will come when it comes..
but here is something pretty cool, that I am sure is going to kick it along a bit..
http://pandaboard.org/
Not sure if it has anything to do with Blade as I was reading in his thread he was spending some time in a Pandaboard..so I did a google search and came up with this.
Anyway check out the 2nd youtube video.. now thats cool..
I can see some home entertainment systems getting built with this thing..
I am wondering how long it will be before we move away from windows all together, as with the support from the hardware manufactures it is really as they say becoming "A train full of steam"

huh............??
That's a very cool little bit of kit. I'd certainly build my HTPC around Android - it's much better suited to an air mouse than virtually any Windows app.
Oh, don't mention the war.
I think something like a dual mother board in one case would be cool..
The could have best of both worlds for a media center..

Upgrading...

Well my beloved Inspire got wet a few days ago and isn't working quite as well...
The flash LED seems to keep coming on randomaly- killing the battery.... and frankly I am starting to feel like its run its course overall- been a while now with it.
So upgrade time! I am looking at something cheap- sub 50bucks ... I found a LG Nitro HD for 1 penny @ costco-
Also looking at the Sammy Captivate Glide... can't decide- any suggestions? The Glide gets better battery life- but I am kinda intruiged by the 326 PPI screen on the Nitro...
Any word on the build quality of the Captivate? I had the original before- it was pretty good- but this is a slider- moving parts kinda concern me haha.
cool story bro, tell it again....

I think what Darunion meant to say is that you missed the sticky topic where it is more appropriate to ask this sort of thing rather than starting a new thread about it. He just said it in less words than I did.
oh
Oh well look at that there is a sticky for this where I can post the question and get ignored for 3 or 4 days.
Mod would you kindly delete this thread... its equally as useless.
Freakin XDA full of whining trolls now...
