Also donated :) super excited for this and I really hope they can pull off the funding.

I have personal experience with app development and I can tell you that $50k does not go nearly as far is you would imagine it to.

Hopefully with everything going for them, they can raise enough dough and then some to deliver us with an amazing home screen replacement :)

+1 for Demandarin to put the link in the OP
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tgearman:
Thanks to the OP for the heads-up on this. I'm pledged and hoping for the best!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
Pledged $5, extremely excited!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
ill add this to the OP. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] outerdepth:
I am thoroughly impressed. I would love to play around with this. I think a donate might be coming there way from me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ahavens17:
I just donated $5. The OP link to the kickstarter looks like its been cut off. I get a 404 error. The links within the thread work just not the quote in the OP.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaborvida/chameleon-a-better-home-screen-for-your-android-ta

It looks like they are still in talks with OEM according to the kickstarter page, the google play store app may just be a separate fork if there is the demand. From the kickstarter page:

I hope this gets funded this looks amazing!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smw6180:
Pledged 10.00. Looks pretty sweet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
thanks for pointing that out. i updated OP again with working link. This is a game changer for Android on functionality and multitasking. Android needed this like yesterday. cant wait till this becomes a reality. I plan on donating very soon also. I wish the source code was available so our own developers could make this a reality if the main project doesn't go through.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nabil alami:
as i know that this should be released on the google play store in september :D..or at least thats what they told me :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogar1978:
Should be a 20-25 dollar option

I really would like to get this even in an alpha stage this summer.

I pledged $10 but will keep an eye closer to release and update my pledge

to 20-25 if we are getting close.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] el_chiefo:
In for a $5 pledge. Hopefully they get funded
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Wow they're already up to $23k! With 24 days left, hopefully they can make up the other half :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Screwedupsmitty:
these things tend to stall after the first few, im afraid they wont hit the 50k mark =\ Most people get there from links on sites like engadget and stuff. Still crossing my fingers though
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Except for the ones that blow up well and beyond their goals lol, we'll see.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dixonwa:
Pledged, I am in for $5 as well. Up 6K in two days... Looks like an awesome project cant wait to give it a try.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xray49er:
Just Pledged $10. Cant wait to try it out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newvet:
In for $10. Looks promising
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
They posted a fourth update and are asking people to run an app to gather hardware and OS info to help target their development. Get goin' Transformer Primes!

Forgot to post, I'm in for $10 too. Every day I look, there appears to be steady progress. Made it past 60% funding with 20 days to go. Maybe some more attention can be brought to this in general somehow?

Edit: Added URLs
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Yes! Keep up the momentum! Can everyone hit button on the browser to vote as a portal story or whatever it is?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
I read the forum in Tapatalk so much I didn't realize that was there. Done.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vanto:
Just did my part too ... 5$
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
updated OP with info & Link
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yes, if tons of people vote this thread as a news story, this will gain tons of momentum fast across all of xda. I've seen other threads in other sections on this project but doesn't seem as dedicated as this one. this will likely hit the tech sites also. I've seen a site 2 preview this project and they are in love with it. the word needs to spread more. can't wait to get this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
In for $10.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
reached out to one of the portal writers (poorcollegeguy) so hopefully we can get this onto the portal asap :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PipoXtreme:
I`m in it too.. for 10 $ !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnyutah22:
Android Central review says it's due out in August: http://www.androidcentral.com/hands-chameleon-skin-android-tablets
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kasper31:
I am a $10 backer too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bashir111:
looking goood..

awesome... i would like to see this grow... awesome job.:DDDD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] montomtom:
$10 backer too
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vaanhoot:
I'm in for $10 too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
Changed mine from $5 to $10. If everyone who had $5 bumped it to $10, they'd be much closer to their goal. Also I've been noticing roughly $1,200 is added each day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spier:
Just pledged $ 11,- , can't wait for this to lighten up my Prime....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mkatforum:
$10 here too. Things have slowed down significantly in terms of new pledges though.... hope that they make it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acdcking12345:
Changed mine to $10 as well..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
I'm in for $10 as well, and I shared it on facebook and twitter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amcplus5:
in for $10
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bageese:
I'm in for $10 as well. I'm very excited about Chameleon and would love to get my hands on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nvguy:
In for $11. I really want this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
So, we Kickstarters will be getting it in August according to the page. Awesome.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
This newest updates (number 5) is really making me excited about this program. I love how intuitive and simple it is to set up the homescreens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yeah. looks very simple to set up. My only wonders are, can i set up any apps like that, like with overskreeen. Also how will our ram handle all of it. Especially with it running in the background.

i have no doubt they will reach their goal by 16 more days. they have less than $11,000 to go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scuddster:
In for $50 and will see if I can get company backing me for more. I want this. Google should buy the company and do it. Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeUser:
I contributed with $10 to the project!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hbk19:
Needs under $10k with 15 days to go. Definitely doable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
Definitely worth pledging!! $7300 left to go.. this stuff looks awesome!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
We Prime users make up 24% of the devices who submitted info :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bertelsen:
Does anyone know how Chameleon will work on tablets with 1080p?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
Sweet!

Only $3700 to go with 13 days left. Looking good :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I finally got around to donating. Yay for all of us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] magicalan:
I donated aswell :D looks awesome, cant wait!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demster:
Too bad you cannot donate without a creditcard...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirMoby:
We are almost to 49,000.00 so its looking like the project will get funded, prime users make up a huge portion of people showing interest think 25-26% last i looked, so we are gunna see this for sure. Its slated for August release pending this kickstarter buziness. I personally am stoked and am sure there will be a beta prior to aug. and what better tab would there be to test this beast on but a PRIME!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'm an official backer now. just made the donation. they better send me my app in Aug. lmfao.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jersey732:
sent my $10

cant wait
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirMoby:
dam they should survey how many ppl that donated found out about it from xda and then give xda a nice public thanks or something cuz i donated as well and im sure amongst other device forums that xda repped hard to get chameleon goin
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scuddster:
So close... so close now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AzraelsKiss:
100% funded with 10 days left.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-better-home-screen-for-your-android-ta/posts

~Azrael's Kiss~
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jersey732:
hopefully we get it before august
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
How do we vote this thread for new? Downloaded the APK and installed!

Edit nevermind found it!

FYI THEY MADE THE GOAL
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
another setback

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects.../240975?ref=email&show_token=3d7161b102a78a37
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
they sent me that in an email. im like , here we go with the b.s...lol they said they committed to releasing to the market regardless. i still hope us early backers will recieve it in august like they originally said. lets hope for the best
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
they sent an update #11 email stating to reply to their update #11 email to beta@teknision.com and also paste in the email you received from kickstarter showing your level of backing so they can track everyone since currently they don't have anyones info as kickstarter doesn't release anyones info until the project is complete.

i have already forwarded both emails to that email address so they can log my info :)

lets hope for the best.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartiniMoe:
If you donate, you get the .apk before its in the play store.

But what happens when it reaches play store? Do you have to buy it again?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
Well, this feels inefficient at best and sketchy at worst. Hopefully they get this ironed out with Kickstarter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
No kidding. One member of their team was so vital? I would have imagined them making a new Amazon account to begin with and not using some developer's personal account. Oh well, guess we'll see what happens :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] izz0218:
i think they kinda jumped the gun here, they should've fix the account problem and not say anything, if it didnt work then email everyone...now ppl are going to freakout.

i mean worst case is, they release it to the play store right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
they specifically said in email this product will be released regardless of what happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Yeah, it's showing up regardless. Worst case scenario, the Kickstarter dies, we don't get charged for the pledges, and we buy the app through the Play/Amazon/whatever Store.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] izz0218:
that being the case, the developers saw how much attention it got so they know now that their product is worth spending resources.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] warlock257:
I watched an interview with the head guy and he said the kickstarter thing is more just to find out who is interested. They don't really need the $50k so much.

It's kind of a way to pre-order an app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-better-home-screen-for-your-android-ta/posts

They are going to restart another kickstarter page...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flub:
Update

Looks like Kickstarter project is starting from scratch again

Hows that both timed exactly the same but you beat me LOL
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krighton:
i've seen several of these group projects that seem to have a power tug of war and or ego problems which end up causing the entire thing to go belly up. Nothing like dealing with a pack of developers that think they know it all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
I was a minute faster :p Either way i get to pledge some money now!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Yep, you can bet this one will never see the light of day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
Was covered over on Engadget this morning for anyone that hasn't heard
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
#FAIL

We want Chameleon!!!!! And we want it now !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spier:
New Kickstarter project up and runnin' . Pledged again for $ 11, really want to see this runnin' on my Prime.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
They set the goal for $30,000 in 20 days and met that on the first day!

Edit: Scratch that. They met the new (lower) goal in 12 hours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
Tecknision has posted Update #1: An amazing day 1 and what we are working on including another video.

Going by a quick calculation, the dollars per user does appear higher than the first Kickstarter go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
New Update #2: Tablet/Resoultion Support and One More Thing . . . video update is posted. Chameleon Phone is announced.

Twelve days left and they've reached $48k. Less people have joined but the dollars per person is higher.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
AND all 5 dollar donators will get Chameleon for Phone as well :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
Update #3: Tablet Orientation and Widget Auto Contrast Dev Update

$50k has been surpassed with less participants. Interested here sure seems to have evaporated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smeshko:
You sure ? The description doesn't say anything about CP .. ;/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnyutah22:
Watch the video.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
so im curious as to why if they have exceeded their goal by far in a short amount of time...then why are they still sending emails from kickstarter trying to get more more people to pledge and enticing people with Gel Skins and tshirts with NEW larger pledge amounts.

they met their goal so whats they point?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] onebyside:
don't pledge anything, buy the app when it comes out....or if you want a few extras...add to the support and pledge

seems simple
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
i already pledged 5 dollars so that I could get the app early in August. just seems odd that they met their goal yet are still asking for more money and offering more incentives.

did they understate their goal possibly?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
They are a business whose goal is to make money. If they can make more money by receiving more pledges, then they would be idiots not to do what they can to maximize the number of pledges.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brantje:
Can I still pledge? And get the app?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ahavens17:
Yep, from the original canceled kickstarter campaign update:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_Stranger:
Apart from making more money, maybe they had to order those tshirts and pads in advance and they have a couple left over. Better to get 10-20 dollar and send a allready paid gift then getting 5 dollar and have plenty of stuff still in the office.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] warlock257:
Kickstarter is over, but you can preorder it for $10 at their website

http://shop.chameleonlauncher.com/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brantje:
Is it worth the 10 bucks?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vincepg13:
I just pre ordered, how do we reckon they will go about installing when the time is upon us?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] warlock257:
Hard to say since no one has used it yet. Watch the videos and read the website and judge for yourself.

The developers are professionals. They designed the interface for the Blackberry Playbook. It looks pretty solid to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] onebyside:
email link I'm guessing
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I pledged $15 so obviously I feel so.

That's really up to you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
OT, but Kickstarter Project OUYA is burning through pledges and seems very promising. Its a Tegra 3 based Jelly Bean "console" TV platform. It has doubled its near $1 million initial goal during the second day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
Penny Arcade did an interesting article on it. I'd hold out until after that thing comes to market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
Interesting indeed. I haven't read the whole article yet. He makes very good points.

Edit: Sobering, in fact.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cbasse:
I'm pretty excited for this, too...I pledged the minimum ($5) to get the early-release. Looks like it might change the way I use my tablet. :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] izz0218:
interesting read.

it is kinda funny that, a developer using an OS based for mobile devices is trying to get us to game infront of the TV, when console developers are trying to get us to game on the go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
Especially strange seeing as it will primarily feature Android games, which are designed to be played on the go. The whole thing is weird.

Anyway, I won't derail this thread any longer :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
N7 has chameleon already...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] collinsac24:
Source or screens?

Edit: found http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/1...er-up-and-running-on-nexus-7-with-jelly-bean/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
I should have a question mark at the last word of my statement...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
not a big surprise lol. they've been showing it off before on asus tablets (i think a tf101) in their earlier videos. what will be big is when it's finally released and running on our tablets :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
I'm pretty sure the promo videos were done on a TF201 and a Galaxy Tab 10.1.

On-topic: I'm really hoping to see this thing get released soon. They said we would get it "before it lands in the play store in August." The question is, will it land in the play store in August and we will get it before then, or will we get it in August, with the play store release following?

That's the vid in the link, guessing you didn't click it:D
[LG Optimus 3D] bazdvd:
Hi all.

Have just bought the above dock for my optimus 3D.

All the info i read about the dock said the phone would detect it and launch the cradle UI.

When i put the phone in the dock i get the USB message to say its connected but nothing else.

No dock mode, no rotated screen etc.

I spoke to LG yesterday and they say the phone does not have a dock mode?

Am i missing something here or is the dock no more than a stand.

Any ideas?

Baz
[LG Optimus 3D] omgomg:
Out of curiosity, what's the ROM version you have installed ?
[LG Optimus 3D] bazdvd:
V21a software, android 2.3.5

Any other info you want just ask.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medo2:
Simple question.

My freq now is 633 mhz..still will it shorten the life of my cpu???

Or higher freq and I mean not just for gaming,for everyday use.

Its mainly cuz of 360 launcher.

You need some higher freq to get the smooth look.

So???
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sira.:
Well, I've been using Overclock since the Day overclock came out..

And i have no damn problems .. CPU is still working Great!

And just to let ye know its clocked on 768 MHz ;D

Just overclock it Dude..

Your x8 will be Okay :D

But if u kept using it for long periods..

it might endanger Your CPU

Also be careful not to fall into a bootloop .. uncheck the Set on Boot option ..

check if it's working alright on 768 .. then check the Set on boot..

I have GDXv22 with Alfs@6 . .
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Overclocking by 33MHz isn't dangerous, that's very mild.

In General - the more you overclock from the specified values (in case of the X8: 600MHz) the more heat you produce and the more you push the chip to the bleeding edge.

In short: Every integrated circuit has some headroom for overclock as the manufacturer specifies the clock rate at an safe value and not at the very bleeding edge where variances in the chip making process could lead to too high yields because they don't run stable with the clock frequency. In general you don't do your electronics a favor when pushing it too far. 700MHz+ will surely shorten the life span of your phone, how much would need to be seen as there's no real long-term experience.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medo2:
Wow thanks guys.

You see after some thinkig it aint the cpu freq that is slow.

I set my low freq when in sleep on 245 so the phone is slow on waking up.

When you set it on high the phone will respond better!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radanserv:
like PC, when overclock it may reduce processor life
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaslc7:
any clock reduces the life of your cpu. the higher the clock rate less life cpu
[HTC Sensation] lu1gj3s:
As you might have noticed yourself, when your Sensation isn't using data, it switches to the 3g symbol. When it uses data it goes to the H symbol.

Every now and then, I would say about 2 to 3 times a day, the connection will become unresponsive and sticks on the 3g symbol. What I mean by this, is that nothing loads. It does not last long, usually putting down my phone with screen locked for a couple of minutes does the trick. Nevertheless, it is really annoying.

Please note that I have amazing reception (full signal).

I had the exact same problem with the HP Pre 3 I owned previously. That phone was on the Vodafone network, my Sensation is on the 3 (H3G) network. With that one, the data connection "blackouts" lasted longer and it even needed a reboot sometimes.

I have had a number of different roms on my Sensation, and I now run the latest ICS build for the XE with the latest radios.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is it something to do with my local mast? So far (as I can remember) it has only happened at my place of work.

It is really getting on my nerves and I would like to get to the bottom of this problem.

Thank you very much Master !

Almost certainly will need your help....for release custom kernel ! Good luck professor !!! :D
