That's so dang cool! I assume this is achieved by hardware modification? (I'd like to be wrong)

So, basically you put colored papers between keyboard light layer and the actual keys?

According to post #5 post-it notes.
I'd wait for a full writeup.

I think it is printed pice of paper / foil with random colors on it.. and stick under keyboard
but "magic markers" is the best idea
ps. i dont like this mod very much .. sorry

Well, what I don't like is this remark :

Unified builds introduced by CM not so long ago opened the door for using many other moto_msm8960 ROMs on Photon Q.
CM11 is in a good shape with M6 release coming out at the end of this week.
Everything is in progress. Naturally, we're mostly waiting for the pending 3.4 kernel source release for Razr M / HD by Motorola at this point...

Actually I've seen some phones modded like this on ebay, mostly offered from HK/SG. Though the colors were placed more usefully.
Still: Very nice mod. Awaiting the full guide.

Different Picture for each screen

Has any one figured out away for each of the 7 Sense screens to have a different background image? Is there "An App For That"?
You'll notice that when you scroll your background adjusts slightly - sadly you cant just chain a bunch of pictures together, it crops it down.

For someone with 535 posts, you'd think he would know how to search. But then again, he's only been registered since Nov 2009... maybe it's just 535 posts of nothing meaningful...
I'm just teasing you K for making such a nooB mistake...
I found the thread lol just no acceptable answer.
I refuse to take NO as an answer. Criminal record proves it.
And most of the 536 now is useless lol
EDIT:
Then again I just now noticed the date *Facepalm*
I'm interested in this, i use the espresso rosie and the bar that tells you what screen you're on is missing.
perhaps it would be easier to get it going on the android home (only three screens) then try to get it working on rosie.
i would love to have each screen like a different color black/white/gray whatever. then you would always know exactly what screen you were on

Just tried to flash it over Rod's rom.
E:Can't open /sdcard/JDSamsungGlaxy+tw.zip (bad)
Installation aborted
so wats the problem anyway?
not flashin on pauls r20 for some reason for me...
There's some error with the zip file.
I've been trying with different browsers, on different computers and on my phone. I get an error every time I try to open the zip file.
Edit: I haven't tried to flash tho, but I guess that doesn't work either since I can only see the META-INF folder.

[APP] [KEYBOARD] BlindType - no accuracy needed

Hello,
have you seen BlindType?
http://www.blindtype.com/
*UPDATE*
Guess what! Google bought BlindType (german)
This could end up as an Android only Keyboard now as it was originally planned for Android and iPhone
That is pretty sick!
I am going to go ahead and say that it uses magic to do it. I couldn't imagine the work gone into that prediction algorithm. Wow.
Before anyone else says it ... "How's the battery life?" Lol.
Not like I care though about the battery life. This should be pretty interesting when it comes out.
I also find it really awesome
I hope it's getting released with german.. not english only :|
I think I know how this works, I think it uses your key presses as points in a path, similar to how swype uses direction changes, looks very clever!

And it scales and rotates until it finds the best match, you can type as if the keyboard is diagonal and half the size. That's what I think is the crazy part, and the fact it can do it so fast means their recognition algorithms are very impressive.
this is sick!! i cant wait for it to come out.
Not gonna lie.
That made my day.
I can't wait until it comes out.
Holly Crap! Thats crazy!
Similar to swype, but you type instead of swyping. But the rotation and scaling is pretty sick
Hmmm I see what he did there.......AWESOME

[Q] Possible FroYo w/Sense?

I know that the Wildfire has a different resolution than our phones, but, seeing as they are discussing porting it from the Legend, and that phone is similar to ours, can it be done?

Ahh, I wasnt sure. I just knew it was advertised a while back as "The Hero 2" or whatever and thought it was similar.
ok here is where we are at with a wildfire port. long way if I and beezy420 decide to keep moving forward with this. Special thanks to darchs kernel from cyan mod.
I will update later about all the none funtioning and will probably post the rom for other to just play with.

Well brother keep on going I will try to catch up with you after work and see where your at with it maybe compare notes, I was just playing with it last night to see where we would stand with something like this. Still think the legend will be the one to port though. as the graphic work required for this alone would be a monster job.
Glad to see someone else interested in bring froyo to the hero.

Shouldn't adjusting the pixel density make the items show up correctly on screen?
It would effectively cut the resolution on our Heroes, though.
And of course, the Legend would be the easiest port, but the since it's not out yet, we have the option of making do with the Wildfire or standing pat. (Not that I'd accuse any devs of that, seeing as this port looks hard as hell).

+1 This is way cool... There was a similiar post over in the themes section not long ago. I can't find it now but the OP was trying to find a theme that looked very close to this? Since this is a rom this is the place to ask!
i hope we can make this happen, nokia's have a solid OS.

the processor wouldn't be an issue at all... it's other things like the gpu, touchscreen, buttons, camera, etc. that would make it difficult.

Nah, I'm pretty sure I read once when there were talks about porting FroYo or something to our phone, the only real candidate was the MyTouch Slide because it had the same CPU tables or something as our phone. Without the same CPU tables (w/e it was), the port was a lot more difficult. But yes, if we did get the cpu to work right, the rest would be difficult.
They should Port this two...
