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

    • I understand Microsoft's intention here, at least I think I do. There have been so many printer driver related problems over the years due to OEM printer drivers not be compatible with the latest Windows update, that Microsoft wants to eliminate those by controlling the printer driver updates and keeping them compatible with the latest Windows update. That is okay as far it goes, but what it can do is put limitations on printers that wouldn't be there with OEM drivers since the OEM printer drivers are not universal drivers. It's a tradeoff and one can only hope it doesn't turn all Windows printers into $69 Brother printers.
    • Vivaldi is a very unique browser. It's the only chromium based browser that has its own powerful and fully customizable UI. It even supports CSS like firefox based browsers do. If someone wants a powerhouse chromium based browser, Vivaldi is actually his only option. All other chromium based browsers just tweak the vanilla chromium UI. It also comes from an ethical company that has proved its ethics all these years. Something very rare in the chromium world... (all other companies which develop chromium based browsers own an ad company, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera etc).
    • I really wish Zoom would have been the collaboration tool most organizations ended up with. Teams is garbage.
    • While I agree that in some instances you should be wary of the government, shouldn't we also be wary of corporations that have the money, reach and power of many governments? Having good regulations is essential for population protection (from corps trying to make more money than the other guy). At least we can vote in and out governments, but these days your choice of consumer tech is now only a few very large players. And we also know "consumers" are idiots and need protecting, it's literally the government's job to deliver those services.
