the phone over all is great ! on the keyboard is still a touchy %^#*$ at time but im still adjusting testing out better keyboard atm with the oild slick skin i wish thee was a skin that made the keys a bit bigger

idk about the customizable .. my winmo phone was pretty tweaked :p

yeah the keyboard can be tricky. i installed better keyboard with the default android skin from the market. really helps alot. what i mean is flashing and adding themes and such are so much easier than winmo.

My latest iPhone screenshot. Theme is a Mix of Lucerna, CAROL and Eminence, which can be found on devart. The wall is from iPhaze and can also be found on dev art. Come to think about the lockscreen Tenuitas can also be found on devart :blush:

nice, too bad i hate the vanilla look. sense ftw!

i am new to android but i always followed the progress of the platform and until android 2.0 i was of the same opinion - vanilla android looks like sht. but with android 2.0, now android 2.0.1 and 2.1 on the N1, android kinda nailed it for me: simple, fast, nice animations and enough eye-candy to more-than-statisfy a loyal apple user.

i loved sense when htc introduced it with the hero but now i feel like its so cluttered. there is so much stuff there... dont know. i mean my desktop is not the definition of minimalism aswell, though it has already changed since i took the screenshot, but the default-android, in my optinion, really looks awesome, by now. =)

i must say that at the moment, there is nothing, except for SlideScreenPro which would let me not want the default-look. and even SlideScreen didnt entirely convince me.

I'd post mine here but not sure what software to use, if someone can give me the name of a piece of software for android 1.5 to take a screen print I'll edit this post with it.

the app is called "shootme" it's free on the market but you need to be rooted.

the only thing i don't like about vanilla is the white taskbar. i saw some screens of the hero's sense 2.1 update coming next month and it looks awesum. heres the link

yeah i thought the white taskbar sucked aswell but as with everything else i must say, i was tought better.

really, sense looks kinda... dull to me. i dont like those ... orbs around the icons and everything looks so cluttered.

id love to see sense on a 800x480 device, though. is there any HTC-device yet which runs android at that resolution (apart from the N1, of course.)?

edit: okay, here we see some wvga-powered sense 2.1 on the HTC incredible... and that does look kinda nice, i must admit:

The theme is from Cydia's featured Theme list, I have no idea what its called. Thanks.

Tired of the iPhone, I might be buying another HTC Dream (Tmobile G1) next week to play with Android.

That theme is AnnMe. I don't see the point in me posting a screenshot as my phone looks basically the same :pinch: .

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
