Why doesn't my phone interact with my gaming console?

So I have a phone and a gaming console.... Why don't they talk to each other?

My WP7 and my Xbox 360 communicate quite well. Perhaps you're using the wrong platform.

Perhaps he wants free online and a better multimedia console. Perhaps he is intelligent and realizes the added cost of the PS3 is more worth it because you end up paying more for x box live and you get more in a PS3. Perhaps he likes to customize his device instead of being anal about how smooth the settings menu is. Perhaps it takes more to fulfill him than a bunch of tiles thought up by a microsoft employee's small child.

Or perhaps he likes speed, fluidity, and doesn't have to make it out as though icons are something profound opposed to tiles. I don't have to make excuses, my OS fulfills his need, yours does not. That answers the thread.

And what if he has a PS3? Then your idea is pointless.
Edit: and android has widgets, not sure where you got the idea that icons were the best we had.

Cool, my tiles achieve the same effect and don't look mismatched and force close on me.
If he has a ps3, an ecosystem clearly wasn't his concern.

Ever tried (see sig) very themed.

Use PC for gaming, far better than any console, and compatible with most phones!

You seriously love anything from microsoft. I sometimes wonder if your bill gates
But no all your post does is say an xbox is better (I have had both and if you use a platform specific game rather than a ported one ps3 easily beats xbox 360). The answer to his question is to use a media streaming app.

Oh lord. Please tell me why I've seen z33dev33l like 4 times today grasping wp7's "fluidly". I guess he cares more about his smooth animations then he does functionality. Just sayin'.

He has never really understood that...
A) the android lag really isn't there in some of our phones
B) the android lag is too minimal to even notice
C) no one cares

A. ICS solves all. My 1ghz Nexus S, pawns every WP7 device in smoothness. Tested it, and I'm running stock ICS 4.03. Only thing Android is missing are the animations.

I'm really looking forward to this. I'd love any launcher that gives a 1 per line alphabetical launcher

His Twitter has been pretty quiet about anything development related and he scratched his tweet lanes app so I wouldn't get too excited.. :/

You should try SSLauncher. It allows you to create something it calls application groups that are in list form. You can have all your apps in that list or just categories, like games or office or photo apps.
It's also one of the most customizable launchers on the market. You can even have a different wallpaper on each screen!

I purchased it five minutes ago. I'm a little disappointed. I love the concept of it, but it's a little too minimalistic at the moment. There are only a few settings, and there's no real option to customize it. I guess the dev will update it a bit in the near future so it's all good, but i expected much more. Also, no lite version? Come on...

Looks good - will probably wait till it's a little bit more feature rich.

Hi mate looks awesome but do you have a test version for how it looks? Or only the payed one?

I agree. I love trying different launches and have purchased several of them. However, all of them had a free version for me to try first.

I went ahead and purchased it. Definitely support the development to get it out of beta and add more features. I am pleased with it.

Played with it for about 30 mins and got super bored. Same old stuff thats in all the other launchers. SSLauncher already has the whole app wallpaper.

Anyone seen this yet?

Thanks for sharing!
"The phone doesn’t have a home button, a slider-based lock screen, a "settings" tile, or an app switcher toggle. Instead, a user accesses these functions by swiping various edges of the screen."
Reminds me a lot of the BB10 gestures. Did anyone have a look on mashable where they gave 10 people a BB10 to use to figure out very basic things like unlocking and finding apps?
Let's just say the UX may take some getting used to, that being said if the value proposition is there I think people will be willing to go the extra mile for a new experience.

looks good, thanks for sharing.

Interesting phone. I don't think it will be popular though.

Great system and ubuntu mobile can run with 1ghz dual core, 512mb ram ...
They already ported it to galaxy nexus...
And as open source system we get more chance to port it in ours...
Waiting ubuntu!!!

The best iPhone-like ROM?

Hi. I'm looking for nice and working iPhone-like ROM.
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616069 but does it has bugs?
And are there any new iphone-like ROMs (or joyOS ports)? Or at least can someone port the last version of joyos?

I think the best choice is the last CyberICS (or CM) build and iPhone-like launcher / theme (for example iLauncher / Espier, etc.).

Yup why trying roms try espier launcher
Sent from my LG-P690 using xda premium

Espier is just a launcher, i need the total change-all icons,settings,lockscreens..everything

Buy an iPhone ?

I did a port of joyos1.2.2 a long time ago if you want to try it.

MIUI is the choice. The launcher itself act as an iphone, no app drawer.
and then you can apply an iphone theme and you're done.

I would say Joyos

I don't understand
What do you want to do with it?! :laugh: tell to friends: "look, I just bought this Iphone in LG housing"..

Is Google making Android to look as IOS?

Hi, I was a iphone user 3-4 years ago. Then I realized I want more and Android was there with all the customization. And I own a LG G2 and it has anything and everything customizable. Its a perfect phone and I had all the Nexus4, Gs4, Galaxy Note 2 this year. And i just ordered 3 Nexus 5's. But more and more I look at Nexus 5 its reminding me of Apple IOS. Google is making it too simple and boring. Good thing we have all the Dev's that can do so much. What u guy's think? Is Google making Android to look like Apple's IOS? And Apple on the other side is making IOS look like Android. Dont fight only opinions. Thanx to everyone.

I definitely disagree, and I'm not sure where you're getting "Google is making it [Android] too simple and boring." What has been removed in 4.4, or otherwise overhauled so completely that you are getting this impression?
There's only so much "difference" you can have between 2 companies who are using a desktop-environment with a grid of icons as the major way to navigate through the ecosystem.

Well, 5. And, unlike Apple, you have the choice of downloading and using a different launcher. Many different launchers allow you to define how many icons you want vertically and horizontally in the grid, and even in the dock.

I know we can do that, but im talk i ng about stock phone however google ships.

How are they similar? Please explain. Just posting a screenshot and saying they are similar doesn't do much for your argument. I can think of many reasons why they aren't. Though The page dots addition looks very iOS and the Google now to the left is similar to how iOS used to have spotlight on the left. Only spotlight was the laggiest, slowest, most useless thing ever when Google now on the left is absolutely genius.

After using the G2 LG UI or the Samsung's TW. With so much useful thing's. Like showing percentage battery, thats just a simple thing and plus too many usefull features. Like on lg changing the icon sizes . Anyway maybe the manufacturers doing lots of things better making important things available on their versions of the phones. There are so many features that its hard to write them all.

Yep. iOS7 made more leaps to looking like Android than vise-versa. Some things in ios7 are hard to distinguish from Android like the lock-screen, wallpaper, calculator app. I'm sure there are more but I don't use ios.
My guess is that in time they will mostly just look the same.

its looks nothing like IOS nothing....................

Yep it is Apple that removed all the glassy effects on icons, menus, buttons etc.. to make them more flat 'à la android'

No such thing because android is open source and you can always do much more than what ios can when it comes to customization and free market on the play store.
So no its nothing even close.
