Here's something I've been working on.

HTC One X(L) running CM10.1

Status bar hidden, dock hidden, no icons, one home screen with just a simple Minimalistic Text widget linked to a few tasker actions.

Just an attempt at super minimalistic. It's all gesture based (ex. swipe down for status, up for app drawer, etc). Still trying to find a launcher that has robust enough gesture support though. It's still a work in progress.

I tell everyone that I did my home screen like this to confuse iPhone users. And it works every time. :laugh:

Apex has decent enough gesture support I feel, allowing pinch, swipe up/down, two finger up/down, long tap and double tap.

I have mine set so that swipe down is notification bar, but double finger swipe down is quick settings panel.

That looks nice! Does it run smoothly, stable, are the features there?

Naa not yet, HW/Acceleration isn't working properly yet, audio is very low, loads of other things not working yet, very early pre-alpha port of a dev preview, proof of concept I'd say, but it works, so by the time Canonical release the finished build I am hoping we have most of it fixed :)

Good to know. It looks really promising. This is one product I really want to take off. :)

Yea same, do you have a Transformer ?

Supposedly once its released, there will be a few different modes/UIs depending on which device it's running on and if they're docked or connected to a TV etc

So I'm hoping the Transformer will have tablet mode and full desktop mode when docked to the keyboard dock, and TV mode when connected to HDMI

No I don't. I was thinking about getting one but got the Nexus 7 instead. I was thinking about throwing Ubuntu touch or Plasma Active on my N7, but both seem a little under cooked for the time being and I'm really enjoying Android.

I've heard about the dual UI's, but never really looked into it. I'm sure it'll be fine when it's considered stable.

Ubuntu Touch works 100% for the Nexus devices I believe, the Transformer is not officially supported which is why its at such an early stage

Instructions here for the N7

I saw that and it looks cool, however, I'm worried about running into/creating issues that I don't have now. Remember how I messed my N7 up the first time? :laugh: Ever since we fixed Gwallet, it's been running very fast, very smooth--even used gwallet to browse the web and pay for my coffee at Starbucks. I might give it a try when it's pronounced "stable". :)

A little more cluttered than usual, but here's mine. You can download the wallpaper here. They were originally made for WP7.5 devices so the only size available is 480x800.

She is so incredibly HOT.

Lost Girl is actually my favorite TV show.

    • 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.
