I just took a look at this thread's first 20 pages and man... how much phones GUIs have advanced in the last 5 years. How we managed to live with such rudimentary GUIs?

Android and iOS are marvelous.

I still have screenshots of my homescreens from the HTC Magic, my first Android phone. I laugh now when I see how poor they were :p

Anyway....

Final for me now until Jelly Bean I guess. Customised everything and I have no desire to try any other ROM having checked out features of the majority of them.

S3_setup_Wanam.png

rom: Wanamlite 1.4

launcher: Nova Prime

dock icons: custom

theme: ICS Domination for S3

weather: Snowstorm

calendar: Pure Calendar Agenda

text icons: Minimalist Text

phone app: exDialer (paid version with plugins & Black ICS theme)

The main thing about Nova is gesture shortcuts, 2 finger rotate to launch camera/imaging, 2 finger swipe for other stuff, double tap for play store, home button when on main screen for brightness control and various others :D

- Android Lock XT

- NCSetting (removed the background with iFile)

- 90% smaller icons & 5 icons per line

- Swipe up from screen bottom to access the Switcher (swipe Swticher icon up to remove)

Thanks for mentioning NCSettings. No more SBSettings for me!

Also found OmniStat which gives a ton of info in the Notification Center (free RAM, processes, current IP address, etc.).

And an updated desktop.

Additional tweaks:

  • Springtomize: icon tweaking, notification background, display seconds on lock screen (not shown here)
  • MusicCenter for Notification Center: self explanatory. That music box in NC.
  • NowListening: displays a notification banner when an app playing music (not just the stock Music app) changes songs. Also not shown here.

Just an observation.. I see a lot of iPhones modded to look like Androids and a lot of Androids modded to look like iPhones.

I fail to see the problem here. :shifty:

Though yes, that is an amusing observation.

This is probably the best theme I've found. I'm NOT joking, I love the simplicity of old interfaces

    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
    • My advice, dont use teams, use the web version if possible. https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/
