The Sense interface is sort of a memory hog. If you try out an AOSP ROM, you'd be surprised at the amount of free memory you will have.

If I'm correct there's also a third party dialer. Forgot what's the name though..

Aha..

Ok, its Dialer One. A consolation in case you missed the Sense dialer

What happened to your Z?

And LOL at lmgtfy

Oh that.

Wait, thats a hardware issue?

I wonder, does this only affect the early batches?

Impossible

Unless you meddle it yourself, things you can try out is keyboard rigidity and / or hinge rigidity.

I don't think HTC employs Gorilla Glass, its never mentioned officially and the gorilla glass website does not mention that too.

Maybe mineral glass perhaps?

Funny thing it is true then, not wanting to boast about a selling point

But still, glass is glass. And one good poke will scratch it for sure

EDIT : I take that back about what I said about poking. Take a look at this Dell Streak getting poked to near oblivion



NOT for the squeamish

Waiting for you to do it.

What's so 'stupiak' about your nokia phone?

What model you're using anyways?

I miss nokia speakers too.. Although I sort of hate everything else about them now.

Meego is technically Linux in its core, so the structure should be similar. A port perhaps?

P.S I think this thread has loads of off topic stuff

Porting the other way round would rock too
The prototype shots of the N9 look awesome, just like a macbook pro

@deslim what happened?

Its the age of CM7 now~

But of course, if the worries of instability are still there, CM 6.1.1 is fine too.

Quad core? What's next? 8?

Never ignore Moore's Law.. Wiki it if you don't know what I mean.

Things advance as time goes by, but one that advances in an insane speed is handphones. Not too long ago many are delighted with a simple camera on their phone (remember Nokia 7650? First locally available camera phone, with 0.3MP resolution) but now? There are even some that wont be satisfied with 8MP, or 12 even.

There's this confusion among a launcher and a UI.
To make things simple, here's my summary.

A custom UI (User Interface) consists of a bunch of additional apps, modified stock apps (eg. Dialer), and a customized Launcher. It also consists of a modified framework.apk. Custom UI's you normally encounter are: Sense UI (HTC), Touchwiz UI (Samsung), MotoBLUR (Motorola), and Breeze (Acer).

Some Launchers of the said UIs cannot be used unless the framework.apk is included, like Sense for example. While some can be partially ported (Touchwiz launcher can be installed into another phone, but no Samsung Widgets nor any samsung apps)

A Launcher on the other hand, only changes the home interface. Like how LauncherPro and ADWLauncher does. The rest of the apps (Dialer, Music) are the same as it were before (meaning if you were using a stock android, even with the launcher it'll just remain stock).

I'm just curious, why has the Z/G2's price here dropped so fast? And so much? I mean, its even cheaper than the Galaxy S now.

A question, how did you even get a stock nandroid backup? Cause you have to root and all to even do a nandroid.

I'm using MIUI on the Nexus One, and its really slick.

Basically what MIUI does is that it makes it look as close to the iOS as possible. The menu structure, the settings, the overall UI is made and changed completely to resemble the iOS. Even the menus are changed to white and the on/off toggles of the iOS are used.

The main reason why I use it though is that it also changes the stock apps. Again, making them resemble the iOS. But some of them is really good, for example, the dialer looks exactly like the one in iOS and includes smart dial and the likes. As well as the SMS app.

Some things are modded to give it a unique feel too. Like for example the stock music app is changed to MIUI's own one. It automatically searches for lyrics, has folder play, and even has a visual EQ. That EQ even displays on the lockscreen in real time, and is smooth, not laggy.

Of course, it might not be everyone's taste, since it basically resembles the iOS so much.

Casings? Otterbox is always my answer
