It's funny but it actually does.

Looks atrocious imo, stuff is just everywhere, and it completely lacks the simplicity and elegance of WP7. Also doubt it looks half as good in use - those WP7 tiles twinkle and 'delight', and they look damn impressive.

They "delight"?

I get it, you like MS and WP7, I am guessing you may even be on a dev team or such by how much of a zealot you are.

But saying a screen element "delights" is a bit too "It says so in the press release I just read" to be taken seriously.

Moreover, you've seen this customisation of Android in use to make such claims?

yeah but it actually does look a little messy in terms of typography choice and resolution... =/ WP7 looks much cleaner, comparing screenshots, which is, granted, the only comparison I can do right now but... I don't think the typography and resolution are much better in use...

But it's a nice try and a good idea. Only not perfectly executed. But as long as the user likes it and enjoys using his device... everything is nice and peaceful...

I can't be bothered at the moment, but you can be damn sure Android can twinkle and delight better than WP7 ;)

My EVO 4G arrived yesterday, and well it's awesome. I rooted with unrevoked right after I activated it.

ROM: Warm TwoPoint Two

Widgets (left to right): HTC messages widget, BattStatt, HTC Desire HD clock (actually flips), Default Android music, Power Control, News & Weather

Slight update!

I always love what you do with your Android. Really, great style, sense for typography, colors and proportions and overall just very stylish. If only everyone would make use of the Androids capability of total customization that well...

I placed 'delight' in single quotes exactly because it is the PR term for the animations effect, and their intended effect (see WP7 Design Days - Animation). PR term or not, it achieves its intended effect - when unlocked, the start screen does all kinds of little things that really do add up to a dynamic screen that does twinkle and delight. It's a bit of an airy term, but it's appropriate.

No themes, all mods are custom via DeFrost ROM and the circle battery kitchen (XDA devs forum).

The Launcher i LauncherPro and the icons are my own, the wallpaper is a black wood one I found: http://robbiekhan.co.uk/root/temp/Black%20Wood%20Plain%202.jpg

well, very very impressive my friend. You certainly have a talent.

Still figuring out what tweaks work with iOS4.

That's the coolest and best looking iphone interface I've ever seen... It almost makes me wanna sell my HTC Desire and replace it with an iPhone 4, but that ain't gonna happen since I love Android and my HTC Desire to much :)

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
