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 :)

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.
    • If only Windows would have a toggle switch labeled "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible. Awesome idea!
    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
