Yes galaxy 3 can be safely overclocked at 1200Mhz/1400Mhz. And LG doesn't have Swype on stock and even installling it doesn't work on my frnd phone.

Does anyone using p500 for playing PS1 games using fpse? What's the FPS in the games?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
swype can be installed..im using it...wat are u talking about??

and abt fpse i think it lags a bit while playing..

why do u want to play ps1 on ur phone? o.o

g3 doesnt have a gpu and o1 doesnt have multitouch...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] GryTEcHoG:
How many FPS are you getting in Fpse? I really like those games rather these days 3D games which is of huge size and less gameplay.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
lol galaxy 3 does not overclock that high, its galaxy S.

optimus one has multi touch and runs swype just as any other hvga droid.

anyway optimus is better than galaxy 3.
[G2 and Desire Z General] magus57:
And why does like every other ROM for this phone (along with certain other phones) have it? Is it purely a graphical thing, does it increase performance, or what? I've generally used plain/unthemed ROMs (like CM Nightly) and then customize them the way I like (keeping them as minimal/lightweight as possible), but I'm considering switching.

Also, does it generally scale with LCD density changes? I can't use a rotary-style unlocker when I lower the LCD density, for example, because it looks messed up as a result.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Not another of these posts.

It's a point of personal preference.

One of the biggest reasons I use sense is the integration with with various apps.

I also like the looks of the sense camera

THe dialer is also pretty big for me. I can punch in the numbers based on where the alphabets are on and it deduces who I want to call. say I want to call john, I punch in 5646 and it looks up contacts that contains 5646 or the letters that correspond to the alphabet. So 5646 will also pull up everyone named john as well...

apart from that, i also like the looks of it as well.

[G2 and Desire Z General] magus57:
Sorry, didn't think that this question would have been asked before, especially the LCD density part - which, speaking of, anybody know if it would work with a screen density of, say, 140? Most people seem to stay at 190 or above, so searching for the answer hasn't been too successful for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
LOL one thing is for sure it DON'T speed up phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
but it does still run smooth.

It's kinda obvious it wont make things run faster when you're adding another layer you know... :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] arich:
Lockscreen, dialer, camera, HTC Sense Sync, contact linking, widgets, the ability to do a search before post a repetitive thread...
[G2 and Desire Z General] HAK Devil:
Sense usually doesn't get along too well with LCD Density changes especially with the default Rosie launcher. Sense is great though, looks nice and well integrated with the apps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] catachresistant:
As said, personal preference. I'm using Cyanogenmod now, but beyond it's appearance*, Sense covers for a lot of Android's functional deficiencies. For example, the above-mentioned T9 dialer is essential and I can't believe Android doesn't have it built in. The camera app is WAY better than the stock one. I believe you can copy selections WITHIN text messages, which is nice - in fact Sense had the Gingerbread-style text-selection functionality before Gingerbread. The clock app is also much better (and there's no use of Clockopia, which is possibly the worst font ever made by man or beast).

Newer versions allow you to launch apps from the lockscreen, which is nice.

Of course, it's pretty heavy, and all the deep twitter/facebook integration is pretty useless if you're not a big social networker.

*I find Android to be a horribly ugly operating system, but Sense isn't really much better imo. I theme every ROM before I flash it :(

[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
you're quoting the wrong person.

I'm not the OP
[G2 and Desire Z General] KayxGee1:
I used to love the look of AOSP roms like CM and others, but I left that for MIUI.

I have used Sense for a bit but couldn't get into it. Roms like CM are made to be light and quick with little optimization. Roms like Sense and MIUI are meant to be heavily optimized, not as quick, but run smoothly non the less. As others stated, it's all about preference.
[G2 and Desire Z General] RyNkA:
Sense is just "quietly brilliant" IMO

:mad::mad::mad:
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Lol obviously that is the joke of the day!
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
That always makes me laugh. Because HTC Sense is the loudest, most useless waste of space stacked with gobs of chrome UI I've ever used.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
To each their own. I can talk smack about anything but its better kept tom myself rather than sounding like an elitist
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
You either love it or hate it that's just the way it is with sense. I personally don't like it, but it is nice to know if I ever really get bored I can try it out and try to like it lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I feel a hint of cynicism... I'm not an elitist because I think that Sense is bloated. And I know I'm not alone in this thought. I'm not saying Sense is bad per se, I'm just explaining how I see it. You can talk trash about stock android if you want, but I don't think you'll get too much support on that front. I don't hate on Sense exclusively by the way, I'm not a big fan of any skins. It's not that I'm opposed to the idea of the skin, its just that no company has made a good one yet.

Agreed, lots of people are loyal to Sense. That's the idea, HTC wants it to be a consistent experience people get attached to, and they've spent a lot of time and money to create it.

I have a nandroid of a Sense ROM on my G2 right now. I switch to it now and then, but I go back to my normal ROM within the day. It is quite polarizing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Yeah, you got the cynicism. I said I can talk trash about anything else but just because I can does not mean I hate it or I think it's bad so don't start putting words in my mouth.

But your previous comment was as helpful as me saying "omglol touchwiz blows monkey chunks lolz!!!! Oneoneelventyone"

Sense may seem bloated to you, but no other company has come to an integration with other apps as htc has yet and still look good doing it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I pretty clearly expressed how I felt about the UI concepts that HTC has created (bloated, useless, too much chrome).

Everything you're saying to defend it is just as subjective as anything I can say about how bad I think it is. UI concepts are not universally accepted. Just because someone likes it doesn't mean everyone does. You may think that they've done a good job with app integration, but I really see no usefulness in Sense, and it really doesn't 'look good doing it' (which is my first point.).

I think its pretty clearly put that most Android skins are pretty polarizing, you either like it or you don't. And this polarization will obviously be strong with a very customized and long-going skin like Sense.

I just don't understand why your word is better than mine because you like Sense and I don't. You've given no more examples of how great it is than I have given of how I don't like it (although I have given a few). So really, I think you need to settle down. I said that Sense UI is bloated and full of useless crap, and you said it isn't. What an argument.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Since we're talking about ui, which UI is better than sense currently that is made by a company?

Compare sense to touchwiz, motoblur or any other android UI made by the cell manufacturer and tell me that sense sucks.

Don't forget, we're not talking vanilla android.

If you cant even turn off the "bloat" in sense then maybe you need to look into settings more often. All the "bloat" that i see, i deactivated completely. It's a non issue.

And no, I'm not up in arms about your remark. I'm saying that the way you say sense sucks sounds like the expression I mentioned previously.

Besides, what bloat are you referring to anyways? And if you don't like the chrome look, you know you can change the theme color right? It's there for you to change if you take the time to do it (all of 15 seconds can get you new colors)

EDIT: I do agree that people's opinion on UIs are pretty extreme here, but you have yet to explain how sense is useless. One of the best features of sense is actually their dialer. It's subjectively the most intuitive and fastest dialer that I have used. And if you would like, i can explain that as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I'd say that Sense is the least offensive, but its the most intrusive. I don't like TouchWiz, Blur, or any other skin but they're actually closer to AOSP than Sense is. When it comes to being close to AOSP the LG skin (doesn't even have a name) is actually pretty decent. But if I had my choice I'd always take stock Android over any manufacturer skin. Just because Sense is better than other skins doesn't mean it can't suck. Its being the 'best' android skin, which many of us don't want in the first place...

My problem with Sense is the extreme amount of customization over stock Android. All of the menus are different, every icon is different, the lockscreen, widgets, status bar, notification window, everything. Its practically a different OS. Its all extra stuff that doesn't improve the usability of Android. Ever heard "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."?

I realize you can change the color scheme... That's not the problem. The problem is all the useless extra crap, animations, and flare that just slow the phone down and add nothing useful to my experience. These things are all bloat that you can't turn off. The whole Sense UI layer is bloat, and you sure can't turn that off in settings.

I don't need weather animations with a windshield wiper when it rains outside. How about you try and optimize your code so that an HTC phone can actually get good battery life first. They just keep adding flashy crap instead of making the device run efficiently. They're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
And yes I understand that you feel that sense is extremely intrusive, but on the other hand the basis of using apps like fb and twitter or any of that stuff is just as intrusive. It does the same thing that sense does.

On your point about how you hate those flares and gimmicks, you can also turn them off. Those things that bother you so much are actually options.

Yes i have heard of the saying, but then again, maybe we shouldn't me using lighters or matches. We can all stick to sticks and some burning material to make our fires. It aint broke. Why should we do anything different right? The point is htc, like every other company, believes they're improving upon the os. Where would we be without people trying to innovate? Go figure.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
How is using a FaceBook or Twitter app intrusive? The entire mobile phone experience is based on using different apps to do what you want to do. I don't see how you can compare using an app to using an OS with an extreme skin on it.

And actually, rubbing 2 sticks together to create fire is broken... and that's why we have matches and lighters. Rubbing together sticks takes too long.

The flares and gimmicks can't be turned off. The whole skin is extra flare. And until I can turn off the entire Sense UI, I won't be buying an HTC phone unless it comes with near-stock Android like the G2. Not to mention that your argument is ridiculous. You can't defend Sense by explaining how you can turn off its features. If turning off Sense's features is the best way to use Sense, it obviously isn't designed correctly.

I understand that HTC thinks their innovating, but its getting out of control how much extra crap they're adding to Android to try and fix it. Its just the fact that Sense adds nothing extra to my experience, all it does is put on tons of extra padding and coloring and crap. It just gets in the way.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Wow, you actually are starting to make stuff up at this point.

The only thing "intrusive" about sense is how it integrates your social apps to the UI. Everything that you have complained about is an option that could be change, yet when I inform you that it can infact be turned off, suddenly you tell me it can't. I have my weather animations turned off. The point of making it an option is to be able to pick and choose what you want on or off. Just because you're not using all the flairs that sense has to offer does not mean it is suddenly not worth it to use it.

with the fire example. so what if it takes too long. it aint broke, so why fix it? that's the difference. HTC isn't fixing anything, they're improving upon it (in their own belief). They're not saying android OS is messed up or broken. So in the end, your saying of "if it aint broke, don't fix it" does not matter since it's not about fixing something that's not broken, but an attempt to improve things.

I get it, you dont want anything on your OS except vanilla and nothing else. Anything else beyond that is crap/bloat/bs/intrusive. Just remember that all these UIs (i.e Sense, touchwiz, blur, etc etc) are made with the idea of it being an improvement upon what is already there, not fixing it. Your comment that, and i quote, "until I can turn off the entire Sense UI, I won't be buying an HTC phone unless it comes with near-stock Android like the G2" is about as ridiculous as it gets.

Where are you? XDA -developers? Oh, what do they do here in XDA Developers? I dont know, teach you how to root your phone and install your own rom of your choice?

Boycotting a HTC phone just because omg it has sense is about as ridiculous as doing the same to a motorola phone. Root the phone and get CM and you're all set. In the end, this whole thing boils down to the fact that you hate all UIs that is not vanilla OS. THat's fine. It's your opinion, but don't start making up stuff about other UI just because you dont like it.

ps. turn off weather animations by going to menu/settings/display/turn off all animations.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dav08094194:
when i had htc sense i thought nothing of it but since then ive changed phones to a galaxy s2 and i miss it so much :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] swinderz:
agreed!

i mean it i tried cm7,stock gb, miui.etc i dont see a huge speed difference.

All my apps at work with minimal lag and im willing to wait an extra 0.000000001sec (XD) if any

i love sense because if my phone is lost i can ring it (even if its on silent, the ringtone goes off), track it, lock it all on the htc dashboard.

the ui is brilliant.

[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] drakull:
Hey,

I made a custom boot animation for my p500 and decided to share it with you guys. It's very lightweight (only 28 images) and sober, I can't stand those 'l33t' flashy boot animations... maybe I'm getting too old.

Took the 'Android' text from a wallpaper and the circle progress bar from another boot animation (found in UOT Kitchen).

And that's it. Your phone will restart and you will be able to see the animation in action. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. :)

If anyone wants to create a flashable ZIP I'll put a link to it here. I'm just too lazy to create it myself.

*you must have the Android SDK installed in order to use the adb tool.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] dislplin01:
Thanks man always like getting new boot animations
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Lark987:
making it complicated to install, just use root explorer and tap r/w then paste it on media.

tnx anyway for ths good bootanimation, got new one

Use File Expert [Market]

Check out 'File Expert' by Geek Technology in the market [as i do not have permission to post links yet.. :( ]

It does all of the stuff that root explorer does...!!

One of those few good looking root explorers.. :D

P.S.: I know everyone knows still... You need root permissions for full access to the root system..!!

[HTC EVO 3D] bhughes3:
I loved the 1.8 ghz overclock with the temp root, but now I am S-OFF/perm rooted...how do I get this to be permanent as well? When I run the perma-temp root with overclock and hulu fix, none of that stuff seems to stay after reboot. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
I'm Having the same issue, but i believe that the program has to be run around differently. I've only messed with one other android device and OC has always been through the kernel. So im guessing that was a S-ON workaround to a S-OFF solution. Kinda like bringing a gun to a bomb fight if that makes any sense. Now we will have UV/OC Kernels soon, and its not like this phone is slow without the OC. Just sit back and let the amazing devs take care of you man.
[HTC EVO 3D] bhughes3:
Yeah I wish I knew how to code and could help! I am tech savvy enough that I can usually figure out some fixes/workarounds on my own without having to pester the devs, and I'm sure it'll be here soon (wouldn't put it past one of them getting it out tomorrow, but not holding my breath) as we finally just got root today.

I thought it was in the kernel, and figure I could just flash a new one in recovery, but all I've seen use adb right now and I'm not to great with that unless it is spelled out for me.

Thanks again for all the amazing work to everyone that has helped these past weeks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
The process pushed a .ko (linux kernel) file to the kernal that regulated the clock speed and voltage. Just wait for a custom kernel, it will be faster and more stable.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marygladys:
So, I have the Evo 3D and this is a new skin from HTC Hub that is not available for the Flyer. This is the first skin I have EVER made for an Android HTC device, so yeah, there are some problems! But, it looks ok for a first attempt. Lol. My BIG issue is finding a way to tweak the bottom navigation bar. I don't have a clue! So, if anyone has any pointers.....I would be much obliged!

You don't need root and it's actually called Spaceship Earth on HTC Hub for the Evo 3D. Here is a picture.....Just download and install.....

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marygladys:
Yeah, I extracted the Burgundy one as it is the most noticeable with the Navigation Bar, and nothing. I am wondering if it is packed in the m10 files.....Well, I am holding off until we know if HTC will be keeping this version of Sense when we get the upgrade to Honeycomb.....

Its not corrupted when I go to dow.load it again it says, the content is not supported on this phone , no application can be found to open the file, do you want to download anyway

Jeah, just click "download anyway" and install :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] expatriate:
is there a page where i can download further Flyer Skins like this?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marygladys:
It's not for your phone. This is specific for the Flyer. Under Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources has to be checked.

Download the apk. Install it, then go to Personalize > Skins and it should show up there.

Lemme know if it's a problem then.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marygladys:
I haven't found one yet, but if you do, lemme know so I can then deconstruct one and work it out that way. It's a little too different than the other Sense 3.0 skins....

Hey guys, well when i first got the g2x i couldn't put it down, but it lost it's luster the longer i held on to it, i sold my ipod touch last year and ive missed it since, i also spent a goo $100 in the itunes store, i decided to move to the iphone and the first step was to get rid of my phone, i know the 5's coming out but i cant afford that , and im not gonna sign a contract, i got $300 out of my G2X, which i think isn't too bad, i am currently looking at craigslist and ebay for an unlocked/unlockable Iphone 4 for about $300, if anyone has one hit me up. Maybe once ice cream sandwhich hits and the fragmentation stops i might come back to android, but until then im gonna be on an iphone, i'll keep this updated with my thoughts/regrets if any, did i get a good price, let me know what you think?
