$50 beats a brick anyday. Sounds awesome. I have been rooting and roming for a while but have been a little bit more nervous with how expensive this phone is. This will make me a little more confident in flashing.

I made this little theme in the UOT kitchen, nothing special.

Has a darkened pop up window with blue border, blue mixer spinner, blue and gray download bar, and status bar icons. Also a blue HC style battery

This will only work on the TPC ROM!! I have flashed this on another rom, and it causes FC's.

Download, put on SD card flash with CWM

Not responsible for damage to your phone....Install at your own risk!

To change which apps are on the dock bar go into the app drawer, press menu, edit, press and hold your desired app and drag to the dock

If you want this for the stock rom, I can make it.

Changes

Added blue scroll bar.

Colorized Vibrate icon

colorized ringer icon

Colorized pop up menu icons

Colorized Email pop up icons

**NOTE** If you install this it will move the email icon off of your dock...Dont know why?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
Customizations, open source, and like the way it's set up.

On a side note, I find it fascinating that most people that are touting the open source aspects of android are using windows or mac on their home pc. :eek: Android is afterall linux based.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scyld:
Wider selection of hardware, and better bang for your buck.

Greater customizability.

Compared to iOS, user interface always ahead of the curve.

But the tradeoffs are significant too, let's not forget:

Too little product control on Google's part results in often bad or worse stock ROMs.

Too little standardization of hardware means bugs, glitches, and app compatibility issues galore.

Because of the above issue, app developers often only stick with iOS and never make Android ports of their products. (Probably most significant with games.)

ROM switching is not nearly as easy as it could be, and this is of most practical importance for the new user for whom it may be an intimidating and laborious process.

Because of the above issues, I do not begrudge iPhone users of their choice, despite the jacked up price, the fad-ness of the device, and the degree to which it's locked down.

For many people, the capabilities of stock iOS straight out of the sleek, stylish box provide basically all they need, and for these people dealing with the headaches of Android may not be worth it.

I use my PC as my primary gaming platform. I could use a virtual machine, though plenty of games probably just would never work, in which case I'd have to use a dual boot and thus be using Windows anyway.

I would guess that's a common and reasonable excuse on here.

LOL. Colorado government is switching from hundreds of outlook servers to google servers for emails and cloud storage/services. The takeover continues... :D

Anyhoo, I like Android for its general functionality of the OS and ease of access to toggles, running apps, and true multitasking. I recently purchased an iPhone 4S and while its a great device and very very customizable, I have come to the conclusion that navigating through Android just makes more sense. In addition, the lack of true multitasking on the iPhone is ridiculous. If I want to upload pictures to SugarSync, it will only do so while the app is in the foreground; thus, to upload 150 ~2.5 mb pics, I have to simply start the process and leave the phone alone til it finishes. Kinda silly.

OMG. Counter Strike On Android! http://cs-portable.net/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Android's real power is the development community: the devs here churn out updates and fixes faster than the major companies ever could. There is simply no comparison. What takes google, apple, or microsoft months to set up, we already have here within a week, even.

Unfortunately, this vast reservoir remains largely untapped. Whereas google could, if they wanted to, facilitate the process of customizing their android's ROM and kernel, they instead choose to just be neutral to it. Without help, the vast majority of users will never find out about this place, and the real reason android is the best will remain unnoticed. Here they have a chance to revolutionize the smartphone paradigm, and instead they're just taking the big-business approach (though it could be worse: with the apple or microsoft approaches, none of this would even be possible).

Because if I'm going to have a big brother, I'd still prefer Google over Apple.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
Windows Phone, or even iOS is better because the vast majority know nothing about the modding community. They want a fast device that is stable, syncs with their social networks, has quality games readiny available, browses the internet, and is consistent. WP7 does this better than any competitor out of the box. Even with all the flashing and tweaking, no other phone is as stable or smooth as WP7. The only thing I envy the competition for is a few good rpgs.

Many say its open...

I'm an fan of this open source beauty called Android; although detractors are numerous though. It is a great success for open source, to me Android is more of a gateway.

I heard one member say we applaud Android because it is open but use from closed platforms such as Windows or Macs. I see your point however this is the introduction to open source for most. Now those who have made their way to XDA probably are more aware of what that means than a large portion of Android users. Also many ( I hear on other non xda forums I frequent) are put off coming here, 'cause well I think they are either overwhelmed, knowing that they will be yelled at for being a noob, or worried than rooting and custom roms will destroy there warranty.

Thanks to android, I'm now considering Ubuntu or Fedora on my PC, but admittedly need to learn a lot more about them. Following the advice here helped make the leap into more than a few ICS custom roms.:D Also I'm excited when I here about B2G or Tizen possibly merging with Bada.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikola.Andj:
Well, I like Android because it gives me so much control over my device and software. Almost a year ago I bought my first android powered phone (HTC Wildfire) and it was the love at first sight. Before I was unhappy with every phone I owned. I've changed many phones, most of them had symbian based OS-es (UIQ, S60, S80), and still I didn't have the feeling that my phone was actually "smart". Not to mention that they didn't allow me to do things that I needed my phone to do, like syncing my calendar.

Even though Wildfire isn't the most powerful phone I still use it as my day-to-day personal organization device, MP3 player, development device. I also installed the x86 version on my netbook which I also use on day-by-day basis, so that I can browse the web, chat with my friends and listen to music when I go to the library to study.

You won't accept anything you personally don't see and yet in so many threads of android users using devices with ics saying they have no lag you said they were wrong when they were doing as you are now saying what they see. But only you are correct?

Even in a test video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJDkXyABEZg&feature=youtube_gdata_player claiming it didn't lag there is lag and the reviewer even says so.

Now I have shown you two reviews one written and one on video showing lag so you can see it yourself. Will you still deny wp7 can lag?
