Well, I have used the overskreen browser since yesterday afternoon. Got it set to full screen when it opens. I am very happy with it. It is fast and feel state of the art. :D

Chrome Beta i have zero issues with lag it syncs wiht my phone and desktop bookmarks and im pretty much signed in on all my fav spots. Can't wait for it to loose the beta tag
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Esenthel:
I'm pretty satisfied with the stock browser, in my testing chrome was sometimes much slower, I believe when browsing asus website about firmware updates.

also IIRC it doesn't have the cool "slider button" on the right side of the screen as the stock browser has, which allows to scrolly the whole page quickly.
[HTC Sensation] draexler:
I kind of lost track on the status here: Is it possible to upgrade a rooted stock ROM with the ICS OTA? Or is a modified OTA file to flash with CWM?
[HTC Sensation] namila007:
Y U NO use search!!

you can find the answer for this que because there are tons of threads asking about same issue

you cant install ota update if you are rooted. have to use cwm and propwr firmware..
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Flash back to a stock recovery and make sure all the stock apk's are still installed...

You can keep your s-off status and reinstall superuser, binaries, and busybox after the OTA.
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
Yes you can, you need stock rom, stock recovery and correct CID. Y U NO get things right? Rooting has got nothing to do with it.

I was on stock GB 2.3.4, rooted etc. I flashed the stock recovery, got the ICS OTA

and to keep root and get su access all I had to do was to flash a custom recovery and then the su-binary.

I am now on stock ICS 3.32.401.5, rooted, unlocked, s-off, hboot 1.27.0000.

When I want to check OTA updates, I just flash the stock recovery. Recently there was this "Settings.apk" update, OTA update went smooth.

Then I flash custom recovery back.
[HTC Sensation] rdefranx:
Could you please put a step by step and a link to download the necessary files like the stock recovery. Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
No, sorry, I am not a handholder.

Do your own research and learn while doing it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avelasqu:
We got CWM and Root Monday night. XDA should be adding a section for the Blaze sometime this week. There are a bunch of Blaze threads going around here, but in different sections. Once everything gets consolidated to a dedicated section, we'll have ROM support right away. Thats my hope at least. ;-)

Thanks to those with helpful feedback. Thanks for the new link. I searched and searched and there was not one......before i posted. Also i was curious to see if any devs would have responded if they were getting one. Thanks again. And to those with negative comments. Lifes too short. Dont be so miserable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Muff Burner:
Don't be such a judgmental toolbag. Nobody is being miserable, you had an instant answer that was complete. Google is your friend, the phone has lower specs and I doubt anyone will waste time on such a device. Sure there will be some ROMS, but judging the situation where we are with drivers and other proprietary necessities in this device.....you're gonna be waiting a long time for anything other than themed stock roms.

Anyone found apps that play 720p mkv smoothly? (Type of stuff you get off the internet..)
[HTC One X] Gameboy54321:
TF101
[HTC One X] endursa:
I use my movie player, works quite nicely with 720p
[HTC One X] Snah001:
I use Mx player.

You can even choose between HW acceleration or SW acceleration.
[HTC One X] flakz0r:
MX Player here. Uses HW acceleration, super smooth. Tried Dice Player and VPlayer, had lots of bugs on audio and video was not very smooth.
[HTC One X] derpious:
I tried MxPlayer and DicePlayer and found that DicePlayer gives me better image quality and plays everything I feed it without any problems.

My tip is to try out both Mx and DicePlayer.
[HTC One X] alphagamma:
bsplayer
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
I tried MX Player it failed to play MOV format (1080p) it was a trailer later I tried Mobo Player it works like a charm.
[HTC One X] schriss:
I've noticed the same with those players, that they support different formats, so there is no single best player really.

Like someone mentioned, MOV plays nicely with one or two players, while MKV plays nicely with few others.

I simply use 2 players which support all file formats I use.

Coming from Galaxy Nexus, I find these two very good: DicePlayer and MX Player, also heard BS Player to be very good too.
[HTC One X] animaleyes76:
+1 for diceplayer
[HTC One X] rizevnarastek:
BSplayer ;)
[HTC One X] shirreer:
Built in HTC Video player for both mkv (720p &1080p) as well as FLVs downloaded from YouTube. I have dice just in case, but had no reason to use it yet ;)
[HTC One X] kythor:
I would rather use the stock player too, but unfortunately it plays my mkv files without sound.

Which would be the better option? Converting the file to fit the stock player, or use players like MX Player to play those files?

Thanks :)
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
MX Player. Can switch between SW and HW decoding on the fly, and you can choose for the audio to be SW or HW too, independant of video decoding.
[HTC One X] kythor:
Yeah been using MX for a while, just concern that whether there are any compromises in sound quality when playing mkv with SW acceleration instead of HW
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
I've never needed to go SW sound before so I can't really say.
[HTC One X] kythor:
I've got a few 720p mkv videos and it doesn't play with sound if it's in HW mode.

The only way for me to play it with sound now is to set it to SW (fast mode or normal one).

So right now I'm just wondering if it's better to re-encode the audio so that the stock player can play it in HW, or just use MX Player and play it in SW.

Will do some experiments after I get back from work :D
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
MX can do separate encode modes for video and audio. You can run video on HW and audio on SW if you want.
[HTC One X] nickporwal:
Dice player plays it all but there is only one little problem with it. While playing videos there are 3 white dots (menu) remain on screen......i hope its updated soon.
[HTC One X] kythor:
Yeah but I wanna try playing the audio on HW. MX can't do that. Dice can though.

Yeah just noticed, that's annoying :p But there should be an update soon :D

Many of you probably play a game called "DrawSomething". I know I am addicted with about 30 games going on right now. I have seen some really good drawings and some REALLY bad drawings. I found some places on the interwebs that host soem great DrawSomething pics, but the sites usually suck. I think xda would be a good place to showcase some of our own pictures, good or bad, or horrible.

Lets try to keep it clean though, do not want to get banned. Also, try not to upload a "picture' of just the word written out, those are lame and you will be too for posting such garbage.

Hope this catches on, because I like seeing what everyone else is drawing.

I will start off with a couple:

Now for the real bonus - how the heck can I learn to do those! I have such little art skill, but I am armed with a Galaxy Note & stylus.

One thing I see a lot of: Instead of drawing in an outline & trying to color in the lines, I see a lot of people rough color in what they want, then outline it (not even trying to be that accurate). Comes out looking very good!

edit - Wonder how long some of these drawings took
[Off-topic] Dblfstr:
Yeah, it is easier to work from the back layer to the front layer, i.e. outline the drawing after it is colored in.

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kindlefireman:
I have been asked by the developer to start a Kindle Fire thread as we have just worked together on porting his theme to our great device. I have built the latest port with his help so I am able to answer most questions. As BroBot updates his I will port the build to the Kindle.

Keith :)

^^^not what it really looks like on CM7 but a good representation^^^

CM7 Version Released

​

This CM7 version is based off the forth milestone of the AOKP builds and is available for other devices on his site.

Check out website for screenshots and full change log http://brobot175.co.uk/MetroUI/MetroUI.html

What is it?

This theme allows you to make your homescreen look like the windows 8 metro. It also themes your notifications pannel and taskbar to fit with the MetroUI.

What is it compatable with?

This theme is compatable with Kindle Fire CM7 & CM9, GalaxyTask, Overcome 3G and ICS

Whats to come?

My website is brand new and still in beta so i shall be working on it to clear out any bugs.

I shall add tutorials on how to customize more of the theme like the widgets.

More Widgets.

Any other Bug fixes

News

[9/4] Beta 6 Released. Got rid of villain as it didnt work

[5/4] Beta 5 Released. Added support to all honeycomb and ICS tablets.

Added some more wallpapers

check out website for full change log

[26/3] Beta 4 Released. Added ICS support.

Edited widgets to be compatable with ICS.

Changed names of widgets so they should be easier to find.

System Theme for ICS including custom switches to fit the theme.

[17/3] Beta 3 Released. Changes are icons i made for people added. Email widget added (see website)

[17/3] I have added the order icons page so you can now request any icons you want

[17/3] I have bought the domain and hosting with money from donations so now website is more stable and quicker.

[16/3] Added Support For Overcome 3G

If your kindle for any reason goes into a bootloop just flash your ROM again without wipeing anything and it will go back to how you had it

BroBot175 works hard to develop these themes so please offer a donation to help support his development costs.​
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kindlefireman:
Hi I built it for CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RCO-Blaze-KANG Rom which I found to be the best working rom for the kindle fire. Flash the rom then the theme in Clockwork I have included a link to the rom below.

Keith

If you're coming from a STOCK ROM then use this version to flash. It will wipe the data and cache partitions (as well as the system partition) as a part of the flash process which should get rid of any FC issues.

http://www.mediafire.com/?7afc1173l7yc0qv

If you're upgrading from an EXISTING CM7 install then use this ROM instead. This one will NOT wipe the cache and data partitions which should mean that you can upgrade from one version of CM7 to another without losing any of your existing data (or that's at least the idea)

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] AMarsden:
Soo why isn't this working for me I flashed the zip and nothing changes when I rebooted...
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kindlefireman:
Once the system has been flashed you need to set a lot of bits up, takes about an hour from here ;)

Firstly follow all the all the steps on BroBots175 site from Step 3 http://brobot175.co.uk/MetroUI/Setup3.html and I promise it will work.

In short you need to download and copy the MetroUITiles and paste it on your SDCARD, then restore the ADW settings with the "adw_settings" file in the download. Then install an app called "Desktop VisualizeR" from Google Play on your device and and set up Desktop VisualizeR with the settings BroBot175 recommends. Once all this is done you need to make a load of widgets that becomes each of the individual tile. Over and over again.

I hope this helps.

Keith
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] AMarsden:
yeah i understand I have to make those things but my confusion is coming from what does flashing that zip do like if nothing changes then what's the point in flashing that zip? Also the first link provided can I use that to flash and start over like factory wipe then flash that zip in first link?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kindlefireman:
To answer the first question; Ah I understand mate, I didn't get it last night until I worked on the Kindle port today. When building the theme it uses the roms system files and frameworks to allow extra option to appear in the options once you start adding the tiles (Widgets) and allows the system to align the tiles together correctly.

Second question; yes mate thats what I did after I tested it and knew it worked.

EDIT CORRECTION FROM DEVELOPER - Sorry! :-)

If you look at my screenshots the bar at the bottom has metro style home back and other icons and the notification pannel also

you change these images by flashing the theme as these images are in the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk

I got lazy and didnt do it because for cm7 I had to rename all the images so they would work with your device.

With what youve done you dont really need to flash the zip for it to work unless you just want to install desktop visualised.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
were working on a fix :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] AMarsden:
Yo I need you to port this to the original rom I requested because the rom you ported this to doesn't let me play games like grand theft auto and order and chaos or at least I can't find it I'm the market which I assume means that the build.prop or something on kangs rom that isnt set up like the cm7 bare bones.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kindlefireman:
Yes mate, I am running all these games, send me your email and ill email you the build.prop with instructions its a five minute easy fix. I play order and chaos perfect on this Rom downloaded from Google play. This is why my signature says i have a gt p1000 ie Samsung galaxy tab.

I have nearly finished making a games tile set and the order and chaos one looks mint ill send it aswell.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] vbdss:
Só this is just a theme, the live tiles is made using desktop visualizer right
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kindlefireman:
Correct the reason there is a flash install process is to change the theme of the cm7 UI to match the metro style and add special Widgets. You could keep the ui the same and make the tiles by adding the metroui folder and using visualized app so you don't need to flash.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] AMarsden:
mjpalumbo524@gmail.com
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kindlefireman:
Hi mate I have sent you an email but for anyone else email me and ill send you the build.prop file. If you already have one just follow these steps.

To get this to work for me I didn't overwrite the file as it does not work for some reason.

1st – Backup your original build.prop in the /system folder to somewhere but keep a copy there still as we are going to edit this.

2nd – Copy my build.prop to your sdcard

3rd – Long press on my file and open and edit in text editor or equivalent, select all text and copy.

4th – Exit the file and navigate to your /system folder activate rw access at the top of the screen so you can edit the file.

5th – Open your build.prop and select all text then delete, once deleted paste the text from my build.prop file you should now see the device name says a GT 1000 etc

6th – Close the file and it should ask you to save it, disable rw back to ro and exit file browser.

7th – Reboot your device and once your back in go to menu/settings/about and see if your device name has changed to the GT 1000 if it has exit and open google play type in "gameloft" and all the games should now show and allow you to install.

If this helps you mate please thank me on the forum, I am new to the forum and I am trying to build my credibility up.

Take Care

Keith
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] pmdisawesome:
So, if I'm from another CM7 I would have to flash the second ROM and then follow brobots 's instruction then I would have to do the theming myself!

And can you send the build.prop file, I saw your instruction involving copy & pasting text, why can't we move the whole build.prop file to the system directory, then we don't have to do it too long and confusing, my email is: pmdcorporation@aol.com

Thanks A lot for this theme, and I thanked you on both of your post, expect to see another awesome update soon.

PS: Does this work with CM9, if it's not, could you consider porting it!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kindlefireman:
There are a few ways you can look at this, if you just want to add the Metro them icons to your screen just download the image pack in BroBots175 step 3 and install appalizer then set it up. the only reason to flash the rom is to give your cm7 interface buttons the metro look (i.e. back button, menu button etc), however you don't need to.

I don't know why the build.prop files does not work when you just overwrite the file? maybe it's signed in someway? I do know that it works in the way that I described so thats how I do it.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kindlefireman:
Tiles for apps and games.

Hi I have made a few tiles for games and apps that I use. I haven't followed the theme too much as I like to see the correct images on my games icons, but I have added a download link incase anyone wants them. I have put two pictures below so you can see them.
