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

    • 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.
