Contribution to this beauty

Hey... so I was making a few icons for apps which are on my device and not in this set. Then I accidentally deleted all 'work-in-progress' icons (i.e. for this beta set and all others I was working on) yesterday. :eek: And this being my work laptop, the boot sector is locked and undelete / recovery software can't run scan on it. :crying: :crying: :crying:

Thankfully, for this beta icon set, the psd was open in my PS, with all the new icon layers I had pasted. So, I didn't have to paste them all over n over. Had to create all the PNGs one by one again though.

Attaching a few PNG to showcase and the zip of all 59 icons I created. You can use 'em in your pack. Cheers.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] pooley:):
All iconset updated. Please report if you find some bugs or icons that are supposed to be themed but not showing in the list. I did it in a hurry :) but normally everything should be OK. Will update PNGs zip this eve.

Question:

Whenever i customize any app icons, when i press the app the icon doesn't highlight anymore. is this normal for all custom icons?

Apex Launcher.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] pooley:):
Don't know nothing about it. I ain't touching nothing in icons behaviour. Apex related ?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ej8989:
I tried nova launcher and still icons won't highlight when i tap them. This ain't related to your icon packs 'coz whenever i replace any icon with PNG images they won't highlight when selected. If this is normal i can live with it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] pooley:):
FYI GUYZ : ANDROID SECTION ON MY WEBSITE IS PARTIALLY DONE, ICONSET PAGE IS AVAILABLE (link are ok there)... WIP ON UCCW SKINS PAGE AND TUTORIALS PAGE :)

Pooley, I love this set! Just snagged it off the Play store! Icon mask is amazing! You can kinda see the edges around a few "masked" icons but the only reason I noticed was cuz the others are zoomed in a bit. Either way,it doesn't matter to me, I love it! I'm gonna need a bigger sd card for all these amazing themes! Great job! :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] pooley:):
Thanks a lot my Mary friend :)

I think I will update this one to HD soon as I finish my to do list :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jt15:
Hi all,

I'm thinking about whether or not to root my phone and get ICS. Having answers to these two questions would really help me make my decision:

1. My phone is an unlocked G-Note i717 from the Bell network. I'm currently using it on Fido. Is there any way for me to get the 'official' ICS update? For example, will the update get pushed to my phone even if I'm not with the original carrier?

2. Which ICS custom ROMs have the S Pen (and S memo) fully working?

Looking forward to your 2 cents. Thanks very much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
I am not a developer but here is my opinion based on years of rooting and flashing roms on android devices:

1. As long as you are running stock Bell firmware and stock recovery, you should still get the official OTA from Bell, even if it's unlocked and running on Fido. You will lose root, though. Or you can wait for a dev to post a rooted stock ROM.

2. Presumably all ICS ROMs that are posted after the official build is released will support s-pen apps, unless the dev makes a conscious choice to not include them.

Hope this helps. Like I said, I'm not a developer by any means, just an experienced user.

I would say, go ahead and root and play around with some ICS roms in the meantime. You can always go back to stock. Just make sure you read, read, read to avoid any problems. The members of this forum provide alot of great guidance. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mark1s:
I got a question for you, I bought my note at Rogers and I'm on Fido. I didn't had to unlock the phone, is the Canadian Note sim-unlocked by default or it is just because I bought it from the same company?

Oh and also, don't worry about getting the ICS update, usualy there's a rom running on the new leaks that appears in the next day right after the official update. :D

Also, I tried DaGr8 Hybrid ROM on ICS and The Official ROM, both have a fully working s-pen and can be a daily rom. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adv1sory:
Because Fido uses the rogers network. Its not unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mark1s:
Wanna know something funny? I had a Nokia 2720 sim-locked on Fido that wouldn't reconize a Rogers sim-card. I can tell you that I've been very happy when the Note just worked on first boot with my fido sim card. :D

Now I'm waiting for LTE :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] toxicthunder:
1. Yes the update will get pushed to your phone irrespective of the carrier, as long as you haven't rooted it.

2. There hasn't been an official upgrade to ICS from Samsung for G-Note. However, there are wonderful ICS Custom ROMs that have been developed built on the chinese ICS that was leaked in April.

If you haven't had any experience with rooting and flashing of roms and kernels, and are apprehensive of doing so, I suggest you wait for some more time as an official upgrade is round the corner.

Nevertheless, if you are even moderately experienced, you can flash one of these ROMs. My personal favorite is the ICS Stunner by Team Passion (only for the International version)

They have listed wonderfully clear guides on how to carry out the process on the official threads. And you can always go back to the stock ROMs if required.

Hope this helps. Press Thank You if it does. :D

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Yes, @tmcquake is right.

However, the S-Pen features being a part of Samsung's propriety TouchWiz interface, you won't get the active-pen technology related features in these custom roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Oooooh, interesting... I was under the impression that the only ICS ROMs were for the N7000 and the AT&T I717 specifically, not the variant sold by Bell, TELUS or Rogers in Canada. So the Hybrid ICS will work on a TELUS SGH-I717D Note? I've rooted mine, but was going to wait patiently for the official ICS update from Samsung, but now I'm itching to try a third-party ROM... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
The current roms are built on top of the touchwiz framework. Some run custom launchers, however they still keep s pen features due to them being coded into the most basic structures of the rom. When the official release comes the developers will ask Samsung for the source. After that devs can make "vanilla" versions of android. In these we will loose the s pen button functionality but it can still be used like your finger..

sent from me TouchPad. ICS of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mark1s:
The leak is based on the i717 (AT&T) without any doubt but I'm running it on my i717R without any issue so it should be the same for the Telus Note. ;)

As you saw a new leaks have been release today, give our good devs just a fews days and we'll be able to flash it via cmw instead of via odin.

And I'll tell you, once you taste ICS you won't wanna downgrade to Gingerbread so do it as soon as you can! :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
I'm in no particular rush to reflash my Note, since it is pretty awesome as it is. ;) I've had CM9 on my Touchpad since January, so I'm more interested in seeing how well an AOSP ROM will run. I am seeing some UI lag on the Note compared to CM9 on the Touchpad and CM7 on the Desire Z, and the Note should beat both of those. If I can also get ICS on the Note, even better. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mark1s:
Yes I had a GNex before the Note, no lag at all on the small 1.2 Gh/z then I bought the Note with the 1.5 Gh/h and noticed lot of lag with adw launcher. Now with ICS everything is just as smooth as the GNex. :) still need more tweaks hehe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] goteks21:
how did you flash it on your i717R? I have the same as you and i've never been able to flash the leaked ics rom... I tought it was only for att.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mark1s:
Flash cmw via odin then download the rom in zip forma (ex : the Hybrid) then flash it via recovery mode. Follow the devs instructions before a flash!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
So finally the galaxy s3 is here. What do you fellas think of it. Please share.

For me, considering that I took no notice of the over hyped rumor mill that preceded it's launch, its a great phone with a few decent new features like s voice, s-beam, eye tracking, etc.

Although these features I suspect will have very limited day to day application, they're still nice to have and show Samsung to be at the vanguard of new innovations. It also feels like an ICS phone which sadly the HTCs do not. Maybe something to do will the 3.0 kernel.

The processing capabilities are very impressive with a buttery smooth user interface and silky scrolling. In terms of speed, it obviously won't feel much faster than most multi core devices but it's smoothness is unrivaled.

An 8mp camera and the absence of a hdmi port is rather disappointing but not crucial. It's design will not please all. Let's face it, no design pleases all.

Given a choice today between it and the xperia s, I probably would still go with the xperia because it has the hdmi port and better quality display but I hope the ICS update improves the UI performance and scrolling. Without improvement in those areas, I might find myself beginning to regret picking the xperia.

I thing user experience counts for a lot and a jerky and even laggy experience is quite frankly in my opinion, beneath a 2012 phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] somemadcaaant:
Compete fail just a slight incremental update at best to GN and It looks butt ugly, like an old plastic mid range Nokia, screens to big for most ppl, also uses touchwiz, phone will only be good for 10 mins of benchmarks and that's it. Enough said.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mikbe:
Not good and pretty enough. I didn't regret buying SXS over the One series and still I don't regret buying it.

And seriously. Pentile display in a flagship phone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
My thoughts?

I couldn't care for it really...like all the other phones out now besides the Sony line, its...blah...

Nothing appealing to the eye :/

They should/could have made it better, all bark and no bite.

....next! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Meh. Looks like a Galaxy Nexus 4S. A bit more screen, a bit more CPU power, a bit of this and a bit of that. Lots of gimmicks that you're never going to use - the best are wireless charging and S Beam ( which is most likely SGS3 to SGS3 only ), though the latter can and likely will be implemented in AOSP or forks when someone gets their hands on the actual device and explores the protocol, or maybe even earlier without Sammy compatibility. Lots of even more gimmicky accessories (spebble). Ugly ugly ugly ugly UGLEH body. Battery hog (quad-core x AMOLED x front camera always on aka Smart Stay - wireless charging = fail ). If I had to choose between my Desire and the SGS3, I would pick SGS3. But my XPS does everything I need so I won't be getting that thing ever.

@OP Sammy never was the innovator in the first place. Almost every single killer feature they have is either vanilla ICS or already exists in some form.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
I think it will do much better than that. Credit where credit is due. It's the best performing phone right now and I just hope ics improves the ui performance of the xperia s because it's the poorest part of the phone. It's pretty fast and instant everywhere else but the UI feels very 2011 possibly even 2010ish in its performance which is a damn shame.

Well lets keep hope alive even history tells us that software development has always been one of Sony Ericsson weaknesses.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The thing is smoothness to CPU power is not linear. Having four cores doesn't give you an instant boost and a buttery smooth UI. This 'lag' is the way Android works and the great multitasking power we are used to might not have been possible without it. The rest is manufacturer optimisation. And yeah, quit whining about smoothness. Try ICS on a G1 and you'll be happy about how smooth your UI is on any other device.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
Who care about galaxy s3.

Ask tghout on it forum...

I will never regreat my buying sxs.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ssj_jaypee:
It definitely fell short.

I think too many people hyped it up.

I know that many Samsung fanboys are upset. I was on another forum and after the unveil all I heard were complaints. :D

It is the new performance benchmark though.

However, it's too freaking big and the design is ugly.

Can't wait for the Sony Hayabusa to mop the floor with it. :cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
and just one more thing, MEIZU quad core is most powerfull phone on market this year...

Samsung isnt top BEAST out there...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
I don't think I mentioned CPU anywhere in any of my posts. The UI performance of the xperia is the poorest of all the new phones out right now. It's as quick as any if not faster at performing tasks. Could be something to do with the very graphics intensive nature of it but I think it's performance is not quite 2012ish.

Let's not turn this into a fanboy topic. It's not a major crime hoping for software improvements now is it.

I did not believe any of the rumors that followed the Samsung so I'm not surprised in any way by it's spec sheet.

Those who were expecting 1080p displays and all the rest of it were just living on another planet. You can't expect too much after just a year after the release the S2.

Can we not discuss the positives and negatives of phones without reverting to all the tribal nonsense.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
Then you should ask this question on general android forum section....not in SXS section...we are with reasons on SXS, reason to buy it, to keep it and reason to develop it.

We do not need any other phones on this part of forum if you ask me..

but you asking in wrong places....

that is like a blog of iPhone ask that about SGS3....LOL ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chesterr:
Seriously you think that big egg is very beautiful??

I mean you're joking right!you know I even had second thoughts of buying HTC OneX,

Then again thank god that I didn't go for the Tegra 3 chipset cause nVidia has some issues with HD video playback and which snapdragon doesn't have at all.

and I even noticed that XPS is very responsive and smooth,

I seriously don't care about the faster performing tasks, only thing that bugs me is the yellow tint that I got, which is a pain in the ass when it heats up.

and even though samsung tried too hard to put up their new phone and they failed to beat up iPad's GPU which is sad for them,

technically I don't regret having this phone and I really love the timescape UI and I think they will do something new with their ICS update,

cause they always the first to come up with new ideas and others tend to copy it from them.and I love the fact that they are keeping up with snapdragon chipset.

I know nothing much about nova thor chipset though..

GS III is an epic failure to me and I'm looking forward to get this hyabusa with S4 chipset.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] edangel:
the funny thing is that after GS3 the very next day LG comes and anounced a BEAST phone with Quad core chip,1,5ghz,4,7 inch screen with 720p display 32gb internal with micro sd support,LTE and the best thing 2GB RAM which Samsung already has 1GB AGAIN with GS3..i love galaxy s2 but galaxy s3 dissapointed me...i own a Sony Xperia S now and i am very happy with it..after the Samsung Galaxy S3 event i trade my Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Sony Xperia S because Samsung made me mad (seriously PENTILE SCREEN again??i dont give a fawk if it is AMOLED screen)...Now i love SXS because its my first Sony smartphone and i have to say its brilliant and fast and the screen is just AWSOME...!LOVE IT seriously and i prefer to go for the new LG with 2GB ram rather than SG3 if i had to give SXS for another but i will not do this soon...now i will shut my mouth and i will enjoy SONY XPERIA S!!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] im_iceman:
I do like the eye tracking idea (bugs me like hell when the screen switches off when I'm reading something!!).. but I the rest of it is generally pretty lame.. and the size.. Jeez.. I'm 6'1" and I couldn't operate a phone like that with one hand.. just too big.. Quad core.. schmod core... once we have ICS we will see a smoothness added to the UI...

not impressed... and other than the fact that they have a big customer base from the SGSII.. I can't see why anyone would choose it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Smartphoner:
Not bad!

I can't deny that i've been anxiously waiting for the release of this new Sammy device and a bit impressed of it overall!

The design is not bad as most of the people say, not new but not repulsive.

As of the specs, we all expected most of the things; that's y most of us SXS owners didn't wait for its release coz the SXS did it all!

I already owned SGS2 and HTC sensation, both were amazing, but after i used SXS, i really enjoyed having a smartphone, in terms of build and sound quality and most of all the software, but really annoyed from the touch buttons though. The phone never hanged on me, always smooth and responsive, not like the touchwiz which is primitive and the sense which is laggy no matter what u do with it.

We should wait and see when it's available and after being used by people and assess after user experiences!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
Again I never said the galaxy s3 was beautiful. All I said was beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I also said that given the choice, I world pick the xperia because it suits me more.

I'm very disappointed that very few people in here have the grace to say anything positive about the S3 which is a shame as it has many good points too.

Instead we have ended up with the same tribalism where you only dwell on the negatives.

The eye tracking thing is a bit suspect in my opinion. Having the front facing camera constantly working like that could have a detrimental impact on battery life.

My greatest appreciation is reserved for the silky smooth UI. Now that's something I could really do with. I'm rather tied of jerky and laggy.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I for one never said that it's a bad device. I even said I would buy it in certain conditions. The chipset is good, the screen is good, the software has some good features that I outlined. But overall SGS3 is the Half-Life 3 of mobile devices. It was hyped so much that it couldn't live up to the hype built around it not without Samsung's help. We expected something revolutionary, and got something evolutionary. Therefore the general meh direction this discussion is taking.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] oANUBISo:
Was expecting a Arc>>>SGII situation

But it's just another One X

To put it in a metaphor, the SXS is ya Japanese/European supercar

SGIII/One X is ya American Muscle

I guess It depends on what ya want from the phone really, I personally still think what you lose from the SXS for them quads is too much.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
Finally a bit of objective commentary. Thank you sir.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
I'm sorry, but you asked for our thoughts as Xperia S owners. Don't start with this objective crap...You want objective comments? than you should have posted it in the general XDA forums.

Your first post in itself wasn't even objective.

I believe as S owners we are allowed to say where Samsung could have went better in comparison to our S, and how unimpressive the S3 is. It's our opinion, and as we all here are Xperia S owners, we will pick out what we like between the two, and of course a lot learn more towards the S, you are after all in the S forums.

I don't understand this "more cores = better" theory, when not even the dual-core phones are being used to their full potential anyways. I agree with the post from someone above me, it's another One X.

I think the Hayabusa will also take the same path to be honest. The leaks and such are making it up to be the next God phone, and there's a lot of anticipation, that may end up being put to waste if it doesn't live up to the hype, so I hope Sony has learned from the S3 failure, and wont make it all go to waste like Samsung has.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
Not impressed. But it will be still a massive hit.

It's powerful. It looks bad.

The only Sammy I was impressed with was Note.

Until I touched it. Never wanted it back.

Double core is enough today for all the things you need, seriously.

So when I buy a device I also care about it's aesthetics.

And Sony looks great, Sammy looks cheap, really cheap.

In my first post I highlighted both the things that I liked about the S3 and things I found disappointing.

Seriously is there nothing about it you find impressive?

I find that hard to believe and hence the accusation of tribalism.

As far as you're concerned it's just a rival that should be diminished.

Well I'm not in any competition with anybody. I just call it as I see it.
