not sure if there's a thread for this already, but who's seen the UI update in iOS 7? honestly, I was expecting much more from apple, and I kinda hope it looks better in person. here's where I seen it: http://live.theverge.com/apple-wwdc-2013-live-blog/
[General Topics] sukobako:
It's a nice overhaul, overall. Seems like they shamelessly stole lots of elements from other OS's, meanwhile (I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that they don't need to sue anybody anymore when others do the same). Multitasking: remember the cards interface from webOS? How about the weather app: looks like the weather icons from AOSP. I can't remember the other elements I saw that came from other OS's, but anyway I'm going to put the beta on my 4S tonight and try it out...as soon as the dev servers come back online again.
[General Topics] omnomnomkimiiee:
I think it's pretty much their way of bowing down to other OSes UI-wise, I don't remember having a overhaul this big since 2>3, and even that was waaaaaaaaaaay smaller.

Prolly going to set it up on my dev iDevice as soon as the dev servers resuscitate ...
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
The most accurate way I could describe it is:

- The skeleton of iOS

- A Windows Phone skin on top (the new flat icons)

- "Borrowed" features from Android

Apple does not know what they're doing anymore. I admire them as an iconic company from the DESIGN perspective (usually), but this is just really, really bad. iPhones normally demand a sense of professionalism and conservative, yet tasteful design. This...was just not well thought out. What did they add to really differentiate the iPhone from any other phone that has surpassed it in recent news? They reskinned it and added a few existing features from competing products. The icons are low-grade. I'm not saying that to be mean. I think that the iPhone is an aesthetically beautiful device. This new update added some nice graphical elements, but overall, the new interface is way too eclectic, and to be honest, looks like it took very little time to redesign.

Loooots of things on ios7 that android had 6+months ago.
[General Topics] GottaProblemBro:
Looks like they want a more simple look.
[General Topics] blakstar:
I just watched the entire keynote live a couple of hours ago. I have an iphone 4

I really like the control center, but it is not an original idea obviusly, since android has a similar thing in the status bar

The icons are a combination of android and windows mobile OS, but still the icons here on iOS 7 are ugly (especially Safari, Photos, and Game Center)

Android has followed the path of "Simple UI" a long time ago (change from gingerbread to ICS)

I think that because this is like their first makeover since the first ios, it might not look so perfect like before, but future iOS s will hopefuly make it better

Overall, i realy like the os, not because of the new look, but becaus of the new awesome features like airdrop, which i would prefer anyday over 'beam' on android

I just hope it doesn't arrive laggy for the iphone 4.

Thanks for reading,
[General Topics] Indiwiz:
yeah, to me the whole thing looks familiar. I just can't place my finger on it. maybe it is windows phone, or palm os or something. as much as I love android, and will probably never even own an iDevice I wish they had done much better. some of the icons I could've done better.
[General Topics] barondebxl:
I like it a lot actually. They did take a lot from android and others but overall it's a nice UI revamp. I'm probably getting an iPhone 5 as a secondary phone later when IOS 7 is released.
[General Topics] acseazzu:
To me its oddly familiar. But not from iOS. I am ashamed to own any iDevice and that they (Apple) claims "innovation" by stealing from other OSs and has the nerve to open lawsuits on such matters. No more iOS from me. I expected better from Apple.

Did you guys know that Apple patented NFC transfers a few days ago as well? What a$$holes.

[General Topics] T-Keith:
Seriously, what could Apple do? Stick on the same path forever? Still even android fans expected a little more originality I think. Nearly everything that was announced was a response to or complete ripoff of android, windows phone, webos or Pandora.

Can't wait to see what is coming for android now that ios is starting to catch up.

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

Their new feature airdrop is really a glorified email, no nfc on any of their devices.
[General Topics] Crooke356:
Actually, airdrop is the same thing as WiFi direct. If you have a Samsung device, you have WiFi direct (air drop).

I like what Apple has done, just needed MORE.
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Yeah, I know that. Instead of using NFC to pair, they use Bluetooth to pair, and then like S-Beam, they use Wifi-Direct to transfer.

But what I'm talking about is literally Apple patenting NFC file transfers:

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] scotbotmosh:
Any one know of any apps that handle multitasking like the Nexus devices do, or even better like how CM10 handles it?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] the_maker:
??? Rephrase please...
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] scotbotmosh:
The Nexus devices show a transparent floating list on the right side of the screen where you can swipe away open apps, CM goes one step further and gives you a button to close all open apps. The HTC One takes you to another screen with really small pictures of apps you swipe away one by one to close. Ideally I am looking for the CM version of that, or would even settle for the stock Google version.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] spitfire2425:
Wait until the Google edition then flash that.

You see the whole part about me posting here is that I don't want to wait. But thanks for the suggestion.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] smood74:
TrickDroid rom has an option in its settings to change from sense multitasking to the nexus style you are referring to. Only thing is there is no close all option like CM.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] scotbotmosh:
Thanks, that is exactly what I am looking for, just in an apk or a flashable zip. I will keep looking.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] aooga:
Its a framework change. I've done it before on another phone. And by the way, you don't need to wait for the google edition. CM10.1 is exactly that with more features.

Thanks. I know I could jump on cm but oddly enough I am enjoying the stock rooted app at the moment. I appreciate the feedback.

Hey xda!

In this Thread, you can tell me/us about your experiences with the Nexus 7.

For example, what are your PERSONAL upsides and downsides with the Device, is the Performance

Enought for you and so on. Maybe you have got an nice story to tell us about your N7. ^^

I do the first step,

I got the Nexus 7 on my 17. birthday, the 2nd of June.

So im pretty new to this device.

I really like the device, because it is pretty good at gaming, it is smooth and it

Looks beautiful!

I'm actually fine with the "no sdcard thing", because if you own the 32GB version, you probably

won't need that huge amount of extra space.

What i don't like is the USB input of the N7 and the lack of an UMS mode.

However USB OTG is working good (also without root!)

One of the main reasons i wanted the device was to watch anime and playing games, but also to read ebooks.

(Unlocked Bootloader and Kernel Flashing worked like a charm ^^)

Enough from me, now it's your turn ;)

Editing bootloader scripts

Well, we have the freedom to try images of diffrent vendors to see what works and what doesnt, but some times the display resolution makes a problem, and theres alot of associated problems too. heres how u can edit the bootloader scripts.

I personally would say u download magicISO, and open the bootloader.fex with it, n copy the script.bin n script0.bin from ur backed up stock bootloader n then flash.

but otherwise u can do this via adb too.

run adb shell

type mkdir sdcard/bootloader

type mount -t vfat dev/block/nanda mnt/sdcard/bootloader

then goto sdcard/bootloader to see if it has actually mounted or not.

then with adb push script0.bin n script.bin to mnt/sdcard/bootloader.

then in adb shell type umount bootloader n then reboot.

If u want to mannually edit the bin files use the tools inside sunxi-tools-static.tar.bz2. the bin2fex will decode the bin n make a readable fex file which u can edit, and then use the fex2bin to make it back to bin. commands are [ bin2fex script.bin script.fex] and same goes for [ fex2bin script.fex script.bin]
[Android] cybermate123:
SDcard Problems...

U must backup ur sdcard data... and after u flash a custom image if u dont see ur internal sd mounting the use following commands...

[ busybox mkfs.vfat dev/block/nand(x) ] here the x refers to the last nand partition that u can check by typing [cd dev/block] and then type [ls]

then type [vold] and u will see ur internal sd.

p.s I had uploaded the toolset but i dont seem to understand the upload system of xda, each time i close the window of attachments,my file is gone. so Im uploading it in 4shared. wait...ill link it.

I have no credits except that I collected and archived these tools. All these tools are made by their original programmers who have given us enough freedom to ruin :) our devices. So the credit goes to them.

Happy Hacking!!!!

hey,did u unpack the system.tgz in linux or in windows? Aftr getting the rom backup copy the system.tgz file to linux. Unpack it there. Else ull broke symlinks as windows FAT n NTFS file system can contain symbolic links. U pls calm dwn n do the following, extract the system.tgz,make the system.fex n use the blank image i gave. Use ur own boot n bootloader. Replace files in ISO folder too n pack. N flash it.. It will work. I hav tested alot of roms. If u keep the whole system.tgz intact and dnt change anything ull get a working image. Im using mine. Still u try with a cool head n know each tool well 1st. Thn try again.

Ya I made a typo on the make_ext4fs part. Yup file name should come first. Then directory containing system files. If all else fails u can upload ur backup (boot,bootloader,system) n ill hav a go at it.

There must be something wrong going on, Ive tested my tools again...

Im nt able to understand what might have gone wrong. As I hav unpacked ROMs of LY-F1,Eken T01,My stock ROM,an Sanei A90 ROM,Digma ID7 etc. I only got bootloop while making a livesuit image out of a Cyanogen mod build. But that was all about symlinks. I hav a doubt though I tested everything still I say u take a look at the blank livesuit image I provided, If its the problem( mines 7inch tab n that blank img is my base) u dwnload a img file which nearly matches urs n rip it apart,change n push ur things in n pack. Dnt wrry ur tabs nt bricked. And u can post here, it will nt trash my thread. Giv a logcat if u can. Ok.
[Android] EarthBoundX5:
I have already been flashing other images, and I am not concerned about bricking it anymore (now that I understand FEL and LiveSuit). I've already moved passed getting this working and am not working on getting CM10 working with compatibility packs...as I have no idea which to use for my tablet.

EDIT: I mean, should I just make my own compatibility pack? If so, I wouldn't know where to begin with what files out of my old system partition I'd need are...or even if they were jb compatible (coming from ics)

EDIT 2: Its a BRONCHO A710 according to the build.prop if that will help

EDIT 3: Which I've found is a clone of LY-F1, so I'll try messing with installing CM10 with that compatibility pack...although it appears many have had issues with it...which apparently I am having too, as its hanging on booting CM...

EDIT 4: I updated my thread with my absolute current situation and made 3 posts in other threads...

Also, to clarify, I'm not getting booting problems after I flash my created image, I'm getting Android loading problems...it passes the boot screen and enters the 2nd loading screen just fine, but it sits at the 2nd loading screen (3rd different screen visible during boot) forever.
[Android] lolet:
Size of the system partition should never be set as fixed 500 mb, it should be taken from sys_partition.fex or sysconfig.fex (depends of AW chip) * blocksize. Setting wrong size can cause image corruption and partition will be always mounted as read only.
[Android] cybermate123:
Yup. Sysconfig file should also be set properly.

yup sysconfig files should be set properly n u should see logcat. If ur file system is read only it will nt let u run anything n say sh permission denied. If thats the prob thn its error wit livsuit or system img making. As Ive seen sum roms use a bootloader script o make some symlinks n set permissions. I think ur bootloader is also doing same but as ur using the ROM frm ur tablet the flag fr da script is already present so its nt making the changes. Thus in someplace its stuck. A logcat would hav really given clr indications.

I thought this was fixed in JB, but I guess not.

I've got my GS4 paired with both the car and my Jawbra headset. All works fine in either scenario, but occasionally I'm on a call using my car BT and want to switch to my headset, or visa verse. Isn't there a way to just click a button/option in phone and switch the device? Anyone found an App for that (I've been searching for hours).

I'm hoping that I'm just missing something, but I've been trying to Google and search these forums to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SmokeyMon:
I can't try it but what can't you just press the headset button in the midcall menu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blulite:
That sounds like a great idea, I would love it if it worked that way. But the phone get's itself "paired and connected" to the car, and it is not connected to the Jawbone. The only thing I found to change it during the call is to turn off bluetooth, which forces a pickup on the handset. I suppoose I could try to turn BT back on, and get it to connect to the Jawbone, but that's no practical while driving and trying to pay attention to a phone conversation.

A simple pop-up with "connect to Jawbone" or "connect to car" would be nice during the call.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ainvar:
If you just want to you your headset to take calls and your car bt for audio, try deselecting "phone" in your bt device options on the phone.

Also I think this issue is more with the Samsung phone then with Android. My Nexus 4 was able to do just this and also allow me to take calls on my bt headset while my phone was plugged into the aux jack in my car.
