[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ugotproblemz:
is there a ETA of the infinity?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GuenChan:
What I mean is, because there is the Acer A510, that is like the Prime (same specs if not better specs) but has lower price then the Prime and there is this ASUS google Tab for just 149$, the Prime can not keep the price it has now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jakpro:
It appears to be the same price with only 16Gb
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
Tech device like thse are like cars, their value deperciate quickly, as new thing constantly comes out.

So what else is new?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
In searching on Acer A510, looks like scuttlebutt from EU blogs is that A510 will sell for €399 in EU and £370 for UK. Price in USD should be same as EUR. Asus TP300 should be priced same. Both will have a tough time competing against iPad 2 at price parity. Don't expect a big marketing push for these models. These are what you call placeholders.

Per Acer press release, A510 will have a 9.8Ah battery for 50% improvement over previous gen. A500/100 had poor battery life. 3.7V also means USB charging is likely doable. OTOH, buh-bye full USB port...

Battery capacity:

A500: 3.26Ah * 7.4V = 24.1 Whr

A100: 1.53Ah * 7.4V = 11.3 Whr

A200: 3.26Ah * 7.4V = 24.1 Whr

A510: 9.80Ah * 3.7V = 36.3 Whr

Re: Prime price cut - Doubt it. More likely is Prime will continue w/ limited availability until new models are intro'ed.

Re: Goog el-cheapo tab - Verge rumor sez $199, which sounds more reasonable. Will probably have OMAP 4430 like Fire/Nook. Hopefully 1280x800. Probably 1GB/8GB RAM/flash.

Geek Qs: Unlocked bootloader? GED w/ direct updates from Goog? Since it's Goog, bet on working GPS. Helps with location-based ads.

Larger implication: Will other vendors be happy? Then again, it's not like there's much action going on in the 7" front. But if Goog lowballs the 7" market, no one will want to step in. How can you compete with a $200 official Google tablet? For better or worse, Goog will have to carry its own ball from now on--at least for the 7".

How would a lowball 7" Goog tab affect the 10" market? Calling all Nostradami...

My magic 8-ball sez it depends on how much enthusiasm Goog can whip up w/ Jelly. In terms of buzz, ICS is clearly buzzed out. 5 months post-launch, and adoption = 0.0000001%. Sales is about excitement first, price second. I don't see too many excited Android peeps here.

And it's not just about the home team. If Win8 tabs hit a home run come fall, Goog will have to carry its own bucket regardless. So might as well start now.

After decrypting your cryptic language and adapting to the slang, I appreciate what you wrote.

I think most will not take on the task to decypher...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robomo:
I read it just fine.... this is a developer forum and the slang isn't wayyy over top.

However, I agree in general settings as a rule of thumb it's better to write for a broad audience, but being a dev forum it's not totally inappropriate ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Asus is playing real dumb. Soon as Samsung and other companies put out their high end tablets they will be easy to buy because they know how to release a product and have it available. Who's gonna be searching all over for an Asus when you walk into any electronics store and buy a Samsung/Acer, etc??? If Asus wanted more business they should have flooded the market with their Prime since it is right now the only tegra tablet available, but the dumbo's made it almost impossible to get, even after 3 months on the market. They need to go back to business 101.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Who knows why Asus didnt decide to flood the market with the prime... Maybe the prime was pressured to be released when it wasnt ready yet. Maybe Asus wanted to know how the prime is going to be accepted at its state when released. Maybe they wanted to make the prime a limited edition. Maybe they wanted to leave room for the Pad 300 and Infinity series. Maybe they'll drop the price 100 dollars when the infinity series comes out, like what apple did with Ipad2 and the new Ipad... Who knows... only Asus knows..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dagrog:
Why didn't asus flood the market? Because the ones that didn't sell by the time others put out T3's will gather dust or be sold for very little profit. Would you want to be the store that has a large inventory off first generation Transformers (or like generation tablet's)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I still think Tegra 3 supply has been limited. I think the best sign of that supply improving will be actual stock of other Tegra 3 devices hitting the street. So far, there's been lots of talk bit nothing actually shipping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Tell that to HTC. And phones sell in significantly larger quantities than tablets.

HTC One X, One S to launch on April 5 in the U.K.

Posted: 3 days ago, 09:50, by Nick T.

First the good news: we have an update regarding the HTC One S and HTC One X release dates. Both smartphones are expected to hit the shelves on April 5. Now the not-so-good news: word comes from sources in the U.K., meaning that the U.S. release dates for the two smartphones may vary. The April 5 release date for the Tegra 3 powered HTC One X comes from U.K. carrier O2, which spilled the beans in a tweet this morning. Meanwhile, online retailer Phones4u is already accepting pre-orders for the HTC One S with shipping expected to begin on that very same day.

SEVERELY BEATEN MOD FOR PLAYGROUND ROMS

Click the banner to download

This is to the best of my knowledge the first mod for TwistedUmbrellas Playground ROM to have a working animated Circle Battery Mod. I just missed it from the IceColdSandwich Rom and I knew people wanted it so I got it working.

Blackened PlaygroundUI Severely Beaten Edition V2.3

Blackened Frost Apps PlayGround Edition v2.3

Blue Mail Notification Icons as per Max-555's request, a few tweaks and a new better lockscreen slide layout :)

notes: The AMAZING artwork is by a super talented artist in DeviantART named adonihs I used some of his amazing LMS art for the wallpaper becasue it was just suiting of the name Severely Beaten for my Black and Blue mod. You can grab the wallpaper I made from his amazing art below.

Enjoy...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BATTERY MODS FOR BLACKENED FROST PLAYGROUND EDITION

These battery mods are for Playground ICS users to replace their default battery with some of the options that IceColdSandwich Users have in ROM Control. I found this to be a major missing piece for me so I had to add them back in.

1 Percent Circle Battery Mod

Full Circle Blue evilkal Battery Mod

ICS Circle Battery Mod

Domination Circle Vertumus Battery Mod

Circles Mod Hooolm Battery Mod

Cool man,

[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
john, your incredible work should be commended. you sir are a true asset to the community. great work.
[HTC Incredible S] bigeyes0x0:
@John: I checked your latest version and I find that you have a framework-res.apk directory inside /system/framework folder. That is normally an apk, would that work? I didn't know.
[HTC Incredible S] williamwong1988:
Thank you for your amazing work for our IS. ^_^
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Awesome work as usual, john! Pity the DHD section don't have someone as talented as you. ;)
[HTC Incredible S] classnetd:
Well well what have we here....finally John opening up his own thread....thanks john for all the work that you have done. Both you and kaijura are truly assets to the android community.....keep up the good work and hope to hear more stuffs from you.
[HTC Incredible S] jaztim:
john. your time and efforts are really appreciated..

excellent work
[HTC Incredible S] bobbybow:
Can this be used on DHD?? If so... I would like to steal it xD
[HTC Incredible S] max-555:
good idea mate. Could you also please add this wallpaper to your OP.

All credits going to arminvandyk !

I think this also good enough :)
[HTC Incredible S] riaan0010:
Please make an Icecold banner for Desire S as well.

Great work
[HTC Incredible S] claude96:
I just flashed it on ice_cold for DHD ( thanks to bobbybow for the link btw ) and it looks great, finally an inverted contacts.apk that didn't break phone.apk, again great work johnblundon & thanks for sharing.:D
[HTC Incredible S] Firetribe:
Sorry for asking such a stupid question, but how to install the Theme? Flash in Recovery? :) Don't wanna try without asking :D
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Glad to know it works for DHD as well, I rebuilt the contact's APK from scratch myself so that the phone dialer would not break, that seemed to be an issue for many users as well as myself so I fixed it :)

@Firetribe you simply flash the ZIP file in CMW of 4EXT and reboot, enjoy my friend :)

@bobbybow thanks for sharing my link on the DHD thread, I'll be making DHD versions of all IncS branded mods soon for everyone over there who requested them.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Thanks for the link and by all means everyone is welcome to share their wallpapers and mods here for all to see. However I'm keeping the OP for things I have worked on so that everything posted I will be able to address and modify for user requests. I love to see others work so please feel free to share wallpapers and stuff here for others but I think the OP will remain just for my work :)

I hope you understand. Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] bobbybow:
Sharing is caring XD.It's my pleasure actually . Thx for taking care of DHD user also. Love your work so much!!!!
[HTC Incredible S] max-555:
I can aslo confirm this is working on DHD.

Attached another lockscreen for ICS in rar. I have add this both in rar for all.

Enjoy
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I have XDA app working but not sure how to deal with a paid app yet... as well I have a free Version that fits the ICS theme. Also looking into Google Reader, facebook, and Google+. I'll try to address all requests ASAP.
[HTC Incredible S] master reiki:

[HTC Incredible S] semdoc:

[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
SWEET SWEET work brother John just one miss but not a big deal, the music headphones icon is still yellow also I'm LOVIN the Google Play darkness :thumbup::D:):beer:
[HTC Incredible S] DragonDios:
Oh yeah John, could you do the Google Play Music widget, it's still grey
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Thanks man :) I actually noticed that I missed a few Icons I'm going to do a "spottless" version soon, I was just so excited to finally get it working on 6.2 that I released right away for everyone who was waiting, as you can tell from my 2am post :)

As for the Google Play mod that one's all Hello00's work, I just ported it for us :)
[HTC Incredible S] justaway2:
Can I flash the UI only and not the app mod?
[HTC Incredible S] max-555:
Hi John,

Just read in Lord's thread a new test ROM will be released in a few minutes.

:D
[HTC Incredible S] sdkim89:
I've posted the following issue in the main ROM thread but as usual - no response. Maybe the UI mod has denying this access or something? Just a guess as a clueless non-dev

Facebook pictures pictures not syncing with contact list + FB Contacts not auto linking with my phone contacts = ?

Is it just me or?
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
Super stuff John.

I was waiting for you to release the updated files for 6.2 before upgrading to the CBR edition :D

Dunno if am more in love with ICeCold or your MODS..

thanks again buddy :)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Finally modded music widget

Great news for all users who requested Music widget mods, I managed to finally figure it out and it looks killer :)

Just seeing what other widgets I can skin, Look for an update later today.

UPDATE: OP is now updated with BlackenedApps v1.8 which includes a updated Google Music App with a modded widget. As well I added a modified version of MusicSleep, I use this app for listening to music while going to sleep. You can see both in the screenshot in the OP.

Enjoy :)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Check the OP brother! It's all ready for you :D
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
this is a known issue and it has nothing to do with my mods. All working files and programming are kept the same for all apps, I'm just modding and replacing images to my liking :)
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
John, the exchange server error persists even after updating the latest mod...

Any idea?
[HTC Incredible S] semdoc:
Use HaxSync. It workin like a charm ;). Your contacts will be updated with high res pictures taken from fb.
[HTC Incredible S] justaway2:

[HTC Incredible S] master reiki:

[HTC Incredible S] semdoc:
Yup. It workin very well... But... Why you don't install apps? You'll get the most beatyful theme for your pphone...
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I'm working on Icon packs for this theme, I'm hoping to have them up by tonight... In the mean time I'll post my new wallpaper to the OP just for you :D and if anyone is interested... I made a set of custom UI sounds that I love for my personal taste. If anyone would like me to post them let me know and I'll add them to the OP with instructions.

Thanks for all the positive feedback you guys :D makes a guy feel special.
[HTC Incredible S] justaway2:
I'm used to the default look of my apps, so I'd rather not change them if possible.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
OP updated with new wallpapers for Master Reiki :) and I added my custom UI sound set, I really like it, it's mostly made from edited sound FX from Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops :D If people enjoy it I may make a few more to choose from.
[HTC Incredible S] master reiki:
Many thanks!!

Im a metal gear solid fan so this sounds awsome :D

Edit: Your pix rule!! But your links is down to sound and i cant figer out were to find the sleep sound widget apk?
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:

[HTC Incredible S] sdkim89:
Ah, alright - thanks for the info :)
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
Everything is KILLER bro but 1 question or 2, what is this Google Music thing also Music Sleep thing or am I missin something? :D
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
That's weird man, I'm using an exchange account and it works fine, I'll look into it for you asap.

The broken links to the UI sounds and Music Sleep widget are fixed sorry about that :(
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
@john other than ur SICK/KILLER work and u give me we us that apk download of Music Sleep, THANKS BROTHER!! :thumbup::D:):beer:;)
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
@john hey bro sweet sounds but the Google Music Player is still grey:( and I did reflash UIv1.4?
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Hey guys, sorry about that I didn't have the newest player update like you guys, I'll find that new one and mod it tonight. Sorry about the delayed responses, super busy and popping in when I can, I'll have a few hours soon to address your issues.
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
Take ur time bro u have a life out of XDA cyber universe;) just thought I missed something lol, AWESOME WORK
[HTC Incredible S] DragonDios:
Yeah the 4.1.513 version I had to download it manually since i'm in Canada/Québec it wasn't available on the market.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I got it now, I'll mod it out and post an update. Sorry about that as dragon said I'm in Canada and was not aware of the update.
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
What version are speaking of and call me dumb but I just noticed in the IncS Theme/App area about the updated version of Google Play with a 3.45 .apk or something also my Market is already called Google Play, should I flash this newish .apk or just leave well enough alone and sorry for being off topic
[HTC Incredible S] DragonDios:
Oh and bro, did you try modding that ICS Clock made by juliosjs :D
[HTC Incredible S] monster598:
MMS not wrking?

Hi Guys,

not sure if it is just me but after i flash the darkapps i cant send or receive mms msg's. I confided this by refashing 6.2 of iceCold and mms wrked.

Just though I would let all know. I did a search and did not fine this issue on the thread.

BTW great job on the theme. It look great. I love the blue swype too!!

Thanks

Paul
[HTC Incredible S] DragonDios:
Oh yeah how about a blackened "All Apps" button, you know the one in the middle :D
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
Haven't seen that issue and you did wipes before flashing these?
[HTC Incredible S] monster598:
full wipe before flashing rom yes...befor theme no...
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
It is recommended with basically all flashes with cache & dalvick but that's what I do and never have issues, that's why all OPs say this in the beginning
[HTC Incredible S] monster598:
i will try this..but during the flash cache and dalvick get wiped already...i just think it is odd that mms will wrk if i reflash the rom. sad for me as i really like the darkness
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
The SMS issue is very strange mine is working perfectly... Did you flash the ROM, boot without flashing my mod, then reboot and install my mod, or did you do it all the one time? It is recommended to boot at least once after a upgrade to let the room settle and then reboot and flash my mods.

Good news, I have the latest music app done, uploading now :)
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
Ohhh noooo, I onllyyy haavve 14% batterryyy lefftt might have to wait till tomorrow:D lol
[HTC Incredible S] trungquan_it:
After flashing 6.2 and latest UI Mod,my YouTube app was broken.I tried to uninstall and reinstall but it doesn't work.

Anyone else had issue with YouTube?
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
I've had none/never/natta/nill/noughing :D sorry, try doing all over and make sure you do a (COMPLETE) wipe before flashing 6.2 and reboot than just do cache/dalvick wipe (before) flashing AMAZING John's work;)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
THANKS :)

Strange issues are bound to arise, but like I mentioned make sure you boot once after an upgrade to let the ROM settle before rebooting and flashing my mods.

For those with the newer Google Music player that didn't get skinned by my mod: Download Blackened App Mods V1.8b UPDATED with Blackened Google Music v4.1.513 and Widget

Hopefully that wil work for you. let me know how it works out for you.
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
Battery is at 5% so I need to charge but will report back tomorrow, don't think I'll be disappointed :thumbup::)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
My mod has the latest version of YouTube 3.5.5 that was only updated last week. That may have something to do with it. If your Upgrading to 6.2 try making sure your YouTUbe is up to date before flashing my mod, I just checked and it's working great for me... sorry I can't be of much help.

On a side note I added a new HD video preview of the Blackened UI on YouTube, if your interested in checking it out. It's mostly for new users to see how the mods look but I thought I would share with everyone here first :D

Blundon's Blackened Ice UI Mods watch on YouTube in HD!
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
@Mr.Johnblundon 2 words 4 ya, HELLS YEAH!:)

@everyone else 2 words 4 ya, GET SOME!:D:thumbup:

[HTC Incredible S] trungquan_it:
Hi John,after manually copy YouTube.apk from 1.8b to system/app,it worked again :D

Thanks for awesome Mod :)
[HTC Incredible S] semdoc:
+1. Xda Premium too... ;)

Thank you :)

Btw, Ladyes & Gents, did you try this awesome mod with 6.3 test3 ICS?
[HTC Incredible S] max-555:
Hi John,

1.I saw your moded xda app for yourself and suggest mode tapatalk app for folks from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551182

Tapa app is free there and looks awesome :D It's already transparanet. It should be not a problem get it in ice dark I guess :)

2. You need also change OP as the last both mods (UI +app) works for 6.2 and 6.3 (test) version very good. :rolleyes: :p (you have anounced work on google music therefore I will not talk about this here)

Cheers

Max
[HTC Incredible S] P.Pan:
John,

which music did you add to the video?

In Germany you can't see it in YouTube because of copyright issues:D
[HTC Incredible S] max-555:
Lol. surely you can see this video in Germany.

If you use Mozilla Firefox you need install appropriate add on.

it was just funny...:D
[HTC Incredible S] Z0R:
Good idea !

Really nice idea. Much appreciated for this app.
[HTC Incredible S] monster598:
yes, i did...full wipe..flash rom 6.2..reboot..flashed apps then flashed UI then reboot..i no right very odd

thanks for the help any way. and nice work
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
hahaha sorry about that but appropriately enough I used the song "Blackened" by Metallica. It was the obvious choice and the reason I named the Mods BLACKENED ICE :D

@max-555 Thanks for the Tapa app I'll have a look for users and post a mod.

@everyone else, if you want my blackened XDA I will send it to you but I don't think I'll post it because it's a paid app and I don't want to piss anyone off especially the mods at XDA. If your really interested PM me and I'll maybe give you a copy (if you bought XDA premium) :D
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
What are you talking about 6.3??
[HTC Incredible S] max-555:
check my post before.
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
@john, is the Music Sleep supposed to shut my music playing right down/off cuz I put it on for 20min timer last night for bed and it stopped around that mark but about 5-10 mins later it blasted back on lol just wondering if I'm doing it right
[HTC Incredible S] bloodhunter112:
I can use this theme on the DHD too right?
[HTC Incredible S] max-555:
yes you can. Follow rules on OP
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
@john I know ur busy with this theme stuffing plus normal life but how are you at Livewallper cuz I think I'd like to advertise your boot with the proper names along with it for my homescreen wall, if u don't that's cool but I BELIEVE IN U! :);)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I would absolutely LOVE to make LWP's but nothing I tried worked so far... I have some new software though so maybe I'll try again tonight :)
